    Torn between S6 and the S6 Edge. Would appreciate user experiences!

    Honestly after a few hours of using the edge I felt like it was the normal style and it felt weird to hold anything else. Also dont forget the nifty contact bar on the side (also the fact that the sides glow a colour when a friend calls + I can just cover the heart rate to hang up and send a...

    Galaxy A3 message ringtone

    In Settings > Sounds there is an option to change the tone for Notifications (texts and facebook etc.) These are different from ringtones, much much shorter. there should be a way to add sounds to the list, but it would be a transfer on your computer to a folder in the phone

    How do I check to see what all is stored on my SD card before a factory reset?

    You should be able to find everything on your SD card via File Manager. When you're as far back as you can go without exiting the app it should ask if you want to go through phone storage or SD card storage. I have a samsung, and theres an app for them called Smart Switch, which takes everything...

    Broken screen, questions about data retrieval

    If your phone is locked computer's wont be able to read it, so that may be why your computer wont accept it. This will only work if your screen still registers touch, which is an iffy. You can get a hdmi-micro usb cable and connect it to a screen, then try and blindly select options on your...

    S4 says it is paired with my gear fit, Gear fit says failed to pair. What is going on?

    Re: S4 says it is paired with my gear fit, Gear fit says failed to pair. Generally with gears and accessories the only way to fix something is to replace it. You've downloaded the gear fit manager app? The normal one could work too but I use the fit one. Has the device ever worked? Also are...

    How can I remove the S Health from my Note 4?

    Re: Remove s health from note4 Hey From Application Manager in settings you can disable the app, which will stop it from doing pretty much anything at all. Also: when in the App Drawer there is an option for a menu on the top left of the screen (three dots vertically). In that menu select "Hide...

    Moved From iphone to S6 - Can I not play spotify via USB in my car?

    Have you tried playing any audio? Maybe usb-audio only works with iPhone. Try playing "Over the Horizon" from the Samsung Music Player while it is plugged into the car, if there is no sound maybe the phone just doesnt work with it. I know there are supposed to be apps that allow android devices...

    Why is my aussie sim data plan not working?

    There might be a frequency issue? You contacted optus tech support, what did they say? I can only think of frequency issues (Optus uses 900ghz from memory) but I'm certain tonnes of international phones come into australia and should work. There's also the question of if the phone number is...

    Is there a good

    In Australia: So far I've only seen the S-View Covers, but they're pretty good at protecting and I can still access a lot of basic functions while the case is closed. They're about $90 here

    Note 4 Clock time is slow/Lagging, how can I fix this?

    Re: Note 4 Clock time is slow/Lagging I sort of noticed this. Well, my phone ended up being 6 mins late after 5 months. In settings under "Date and Time" I changed from inputted time (or set time), and selected automatic date and time. This uses the network provided time. Time hasnt been slow...

    LOLLIPOP: How to shorten notification times on the banner?

    Had a few people with the same issue too :/ Can't even remember how it used to be, but I'm sure that the notifications used to appear on the notification banner for a second before bringing back the banner with the new notification symbol. Now when you get a text it goes through the whole...
