    Nougat 7.0 on Galaxy S6 - NOT happy

    I have been searching for way too long for any mention from Android that they are both aware of AND are going to be fixing the battery drain problems so many of us seem to have with the Nougat update. I can't find anything. Does anyone else know if they are going to be fixing this? It is...

    Why can't I establish a data connection after Marshmallow update (Galaxy s6)?

    I reached out to the Stitcher folks who solved the problem. Here is what they said, which has fixed this problem. We have confirmed reports from users of Samsung S6 and S7 devices running Android OS 6.0 that the device's Power Savings Mode toggle, when enabled, interferes with the media...

    Why can't I establish a data connection after Marshmallow update (Galaxy s6)?

    Why is battery life so short after water damage?

    I'm new to this forum and based on the threads I've read in the past I was hoping a reply would be less condescending. I am certainly aware that water damage has caused battery problems and so perhaps I should have made my question more explicit, which is given the damage I've done is there...

    Why is battery life so short after water damage?

    My Samsung Galaxy 6S decided to take a spin in the washing machine. After 36 hours in a bowl of rice with a fan blowing on it, then charging it it amazingly powered up and seemed to be fully restored. However, I now notice that my battery drains incredibly fast. Within 10 minutes of removing the...
