    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - Which keyboard do you prefer?

    Blackberry keyboard, although the latest update doesn't feel as accurate as the previous one. (The BB soft keyboard from the Priv.)

    5.1.1 killed my battery

    My battery life improved greatly. I'm two days off charger and at 78%. (No, I haven't used my phone much other than some texts, light browsing and a couple emails.) Still, this is a big improvement. I don't have the drain I did when it was sleeping as I did before. (I leave wifi, location...

    Verizon Note 4 Wi Fi Auto Connect "Automatically connect to AT&T Wi Fi Hotspot when detected.

    Re: Verizon Note 4 Wi Fi Auto Connect "Automatically connect to AT&T Wi Fi Hotspot when detected. I spoke to Verizon about this earlier today as well.... They told me that I must have AT&T internet and it is interfering with my phone. I explained to customer service that she was an i d i o t...

    How can I get audio files from DropBox play in an app that lets me rewind & fastforward?

    Have you tried using a different player such as this one from Doubletwist? https://www.doubletwist.com/cloudplayer

    What's the best Launcher for the Note 4?

    Stock Samsung / Touchwiz Launcher. While Nova gets battery battery life for me, it isn't enough to warrant using it as even if you have "aggressive desktop" checked, it still redraws when you clear memory. Apex does not do that, but then it leaves the ongoing notification in your...

    My Samsung Galaxy 10 inch tablet won't start. Any tips?

    Re: my samsung galaxy 10 inch tablet wont start. Any tips? I know this is old, but if you are talking about the OG 10.1, you can hold down the power button and the volume down key to force it to reboot if it's not because of lack of power. (I had that happen twice and the first time I...

    Best browser for phone?

    It depends on your device. I personally dislike Chrome as there are no features built into it, it's not really that much faster than Maxthon and I like to set a home page. (The ability to set a home page on Chrome is device specific, which is really stupid.) Dolphin is good on some devices...

    Any Dolphin users out there?

    I have a Note 4 and I like the default non Chrome browser perfectly fine, however, I don't care for seeing ads on the internet at all. I've been using Dolphin just fine for a while now and while I am not a fan of the green, it's been the best all around browser for me. It also works really well...

    Root?

    I'm on the VZW model and while I don't use any apps that have ads, I do equally hate ads in the browser. While I hate Chrome anyhow and I do like the Samsung default browser, I have found that Dolphin Browser w/ the adblocker extension and the flash extension gives me a pretty enjoyable ad free...

    sidesync for mac ?

    It left an orphaned folder called USSUD in the user folder. Once I trashed that, I haven't had any disconnects on wifi anymore. (It contains a kext that on Yosemite would have gone into the startup items folder.) Not sure if it is coincidence or not. It still lagged, but then I set the keyboard...

    sidesync for mac ?

    PS- New version of Sidesync is available on the Samsung site. It's two versions higher than the original 4.0 they uploaded. No clue if it works on El Capitan yet. ** Edit, broke down and installed it. It works. Still serious lag when using the SideSync Panel on the side and it drops Wifi so...

    sidesync for mac ?

    Not the same thing. AirDroid doesn't support screen mirroring of the Note 4 or 5 (non root) or taking your phone calls through the bluetooth on your computer as SideSync does. (It used to be Windows only on SideSync, now it is supposedly available on Mac.) If one just wants to answer texts on...

    sidesync for mac ?

    It doesn't work properly in El Capitan. Due to SIP, it won't install. You can disable SIP and install, but once you re-enable SIP, it works horribly. Leaving SIP disabled is not recommended. (It doesn't run that well on El Capitan even with SIP left disabled.) What you're left with is the...

    Galaxy Note 4 5.1.1 ATT

    You are correct. Not for the encryption unlock. (I've actually had my phone confiscated by the police and they wanted me to provide them with the unlock code to get into it. I informed them they needed a warrant and they didn't get one, they just wouldn't release my phone. I went online and...

    Galaxy Note 4 5.1.1 ATT

    My phone is encrypted (SD too) and I've been using fingerprint since the Lollipop Update 5.0.1 Is it because you can't for another reason or you just think it doesn't work? On KitKat you couldn't use FP w/ encryption, but you've been able to do it on Lollipop since day one.
