    My Galaxy S6 Active is stuck on a light blue download screen and won't do anything. What do I do?

    Wonder how they got theirs on there if you already had a Google account linked to it? Hmmm... Didn't you have an account set up before it was stolen? Was your phone not locked? How did they get around your security? Seems odd.

    Galaxy S7 Active - Screen Cracked - No Impact! In my pocket!

    @Ashley015 Lawd have mercy! What kind of service do you have that cost that much? I've got 4 smart phones and 15 gb of data and it's like $265 a month; tax and fees included. You're almost paying a house note with what you have.

    "Simple Controls" app causes problems

    Had this app installed and everytime I went to change app permissions on any app it would say to turn off screen overlays. Discovered it was the simple control app causing it. If I turned screen overlays off for it, I could change permissions on any other app. Also it was causing application...

    set home screen background to black?

    Just put your finger over the camera, take a photo, and set it to the background. Been doing that for years. 😂

    Having issues screen

    My Galaxy S6 was doing this until I force stopped the Peel smart remote. However, i don't think the S7 has this App since it doesn't have an IR blaster. Maybe another app that came pre-installed.

    Guess I'm going to leave AT&T if we don't get 6.0 by the end of the month.

    If you paid $800 you got ripped. The phone has been selling for $594 for a while now.

    Another security update today.

    Found I had an update available. Was hoping for marshmallow but no luck. Was a 39.74 MB security update. If M was coming out soon, you would think that would have just held off on this small update. I believe that makes the sixth update since this phone has come out. That may be a record for...

    Why is my S6 Active touch screen unrsponsive?

    If you have access to one of those "on the go cables" plug a mouse into it and you should be able to use that to navigate around and back up your data etc... Once you are in, trying going into the quick toggles at the top and toggling the screen sensitivity toggle. It's worth a shot. Let us...

    battery life

    I got the update and and nothing has changed with my battery life. Try shutting the phone down completely, not just a restart. Leave it off a few minutes then restart it and see what happens.

    86 MB software update 3-9-16

    Just received a small update. This changed the build number to BPB3. Must be a security update.

    Galaxy S6 Active Camera Failed, how can I fix it?

    I wonder if it's an app that you may have disabled that's causing it. If I remember right, on my Galaxy 3 if you disabled Paper Artist it caused gallery to crash everytime you tried to open it. The camera would fail as well.

    Percentage Drain Discharge when screen is off per hour typical for S6 active?

    Just for the heck of it, try uninstalling GSM battery monitor and monitor it manually. See how much battery you battery monitor is using.

    Win Samsung's next new phone from Android Central!

    I would cuddle with it, then hold it up and look at it at various angles then cuddle with it some more. I would then insert my Sim and fire it up and use it in all its glory. Yea, that's what I'd do with it. Sigh.

    White haze on black lock screen.

    Turn the brightness all the way up and you can see it. The picture shows it well on the phone. Not sure why it changes after linking it with photo bucket
