    The S pen

    I may be missing something, but it might help folks to know which Launcher you are using. Also are you trying to add these shortcuts to your home screen, to a group/folder on your home screen, to a side panel? A little more information may help. BigRedGonzo

    Gear has Hijacked my phone

    Thanks Ca_lvn, I finally just got frustrated and factory reset both of them. I had to do the phone twice. The first time around really didn't do something right and I was seeing all sorts of issues. The second one was the charm. I even elected to go bare bones, no restores except contacts...

    Gear has Hijacked my phone

    I tried searching for this, but didn't find anything. Here recently every time I get a call, my phone rings and my watch rings but the phone doesn't pop up over the lockscreen on my phone. The only option to answer is my watch. I have dug through the settings but can't seem to find anything...

    Zagg NEW Curve Elite Protector

    Unfortunately, I found out yesterday that the Curve Elite will crack just like any other. The good thing is that cracks that propagate across the screen are almost invisible. Now the worst part is that my phone was on the seat of my truck all day and I did even touch it. Nothing lying on the...

    Gmail Notifications Glitch

    jrcoady, I don't believe the Gmail app supports badges. That may have changed, but when I got my Note 8 it did not. @everybody else, Do you have the Gmail app set to conversation mode? That could be causing the shuffling as it sorts back into the conversation. If you do, try it with...

    Zagg NEW Curve Elite Protector

    I installed my own and it certainly wasn't difficult, but it was tedious. It comes with a tray to "aim" the protector and if you go slowly (and back up a lot) getting the bubbles out just takes a while. In the old days, you could leave a small bubble or two under the protector and they would...

    Zagg NEW Curve Elite Protector

    I've had mine installed about 2 weeks now and touch is perfect across the entire screen. The look of the screen is also better (IMO). I think the gel layer helps with that. Thus far no dust invasions under the corners. I have installed dozens of Zaggs and the glass protectors have always...

    cmbauer99, Just a stab in the dark, but do you have Gmail in Conversation Mode? BigRedGonzo

    Clearing Notificaitons

    Thanks, I poked through every menu and couldn't find anything. Figures it would be the simplest answer. BigRedGonzo

    Clearing Notificaitons

    Anybody know if there is a way to clear all notifications at once? Frequently, I can only glance at the watch to see what it is and then I forget about it. This leaves me with a pile of them and deleting them one at a time is a PITA. BigRedGonzo

    Zagg has finally done it!!!!

    The procedure for installation was very similar to the past product, but you did have to spend some time making sure you didn't leave any bubbles under it. BigRedGonzo

    whitestone dome glass

    I received my Zagg Curve Elite in the mail day before yesterday and have had it installed for two days now. Much better than the old curve. The adhesive is a gel type material and covers the entire back of the protector. It is a much greater PITA to install than the old one, but if you follow...

    My Note 8 will not turn on

    This is late and probably outdated, but back in the day, the recommended reset procedure for Android was to do the Reset/Restore option followed by a Clear Cache option and repeat that procedure 3 times before doing the Reboot option. Sounds a bit excessive and probably a bit OCD, but it makes...
