    Reset Nova as default launcher after every restart

    Same here...just started today for me but I haven't done a thing to cause this. I'm thinking maybe a Google update or some update Android snuck in but clueless as to what. I run a super lean OS on my Note 10+ and have only had about 8 updates for apps in the last couple days but it just started...

    Reset Nova as default launcher after every restart

    Same issue here but with Action Launcher. I select "always" but it doesn't stick. This literally started today (1-25-2020) I have no launchers except the default OneUI installed and tried to switch to that and back. It won't "stick on either of them. I've cleared the system cache in recovery...

    Getting the S9+ and keeping my N8

    agreed. my S8+ is 0LENTY fast and even faster since I updated it with the Oreo leak last week so I'll definitely be waiting until it's paid off and then go up to the note 9 or SX (or whatever they'll name the S10 we'll see) but not enough features it speed increase over the S8+ to justify...

    Getting the S9+ and keeping my N8

    Nope. My S8+ running Oreo release (Official leak) is running far too well to justify another down payment on a phone that's not really much nicer to justify the down payment and new 18month contract. I always pay off my phone's first so I can sell them to pay for a lot of the new one. Simply...

    Confused about Internal Storage

    Nothing you can do unless you made a smart switch backup to restore from.Im afraid you're screwed. And no root means obviously no titanium backup probably so unless you know you made a backup somewhere somehow the info is gone for good.

    Confused about Internal Storage

    you CAN use a disk utility on a PC for anything you delete from your MicroSD or SD external card and so.etimes get things back but if you deleted the internal storage folder it's gone for good unless you have a titanium backup to recover from or a smart switch image you can recover your entire...

    My root directory is very small and full after two days of use

    Mine is the same way. it's absolutely nothing to worry about. uni stall about 10 apps or so and you'll see it doesn't change a thing on the root folder. This is my S8+ after one week of ownership brand new from T-Mobile.

    My root directory is very small and full after two days of use

    not sure what lead you to say that it every phone I've had fills up to almost full on the root folder. my S8+ is current full except 2.4MB and it runs fine and have very few apps on it and no games. This is common. Has absolutely ZERO to do with it being a knockoff or anything like that if the...

    Why do people get my messages split in parts?

    I'm on T-Mobile and mine are split as well and I get.comaints all the time from people. and TMobile is GMS. Is it because I use wifi calling and messaging when at home? I don't get LTE at home unless I go outside because it's a 105 yr old house. So I use a WiFi router for everything...

    Gear S2 what is the point of wi-fi?

    You can turn on a longer and harder vibration. I find mine perfect. No issues getting my attention at all. It is a bit under noticable indeed. I agree but I guess I just feel it fine. I also turn of NFC since I don't use pay on watch hardly at all and just use my phone so the more you can turn...

    How to ONLY use phone's number for both phone and Gear S?

    It's talking about the watch settings not the phone. You're thinking it backwards.

    Can't access 5Ghz networks

    The 5Ghz band already could be set to a higher MHz than your phone can handle too., Set it to auto. Usually it's 20,40 or 80 MHz or auto. My phone supports 80 but my wife's tablet doesn't so I keep mine on 20,40 or 80 so she can access 5Ghz too but auto works also. You might set the 5Ghz wifi...

    Can't access 5Ghz networks

    Take the plunge on a decent AC router dual band and you'll never have to worry about it. They do sooooo much and mine has 2 USB 3.0 ports to easily share hard drives I my LAN or wan, remote in to setup or do it at home. My own FTP access you name it. They're getting much cheaper too. My ASUS...
