    Fix dings/dents/scratches on the metal?

    Use toothpaste and a small cloth. The toothpaste has an abrasive and filler to make those disappear. Do the same thing to small scratches on your car.

    Text via bluetooth doesn't work with the S6?

    Re: Text via bluetooth doesn't work with the S6 I'm also a former Windows Phone user, and struggled with this mightily. I still can't get texts read to me or send commands using my Bluetooth connection in my car. Say what you want about WP and Cortana, it did just work. I'd love to see a...

    Well it's official (Samsung Pay fail)

    I use a Chase Freedom card with Samsung Pay. Absolutely love it. Especially the people who say "oh, that doesn't work here" only to be proven wrong. I'd love it if my Amex worked. I'm not expecting my bank to because it's a small credit union and doesn't even have an electronic check deposit...

    Lets clear things: How much screen on time are you getting on a charge?

    I get around 3.25 hours. Heavy user though. Auto bright, bluetooth, wifi, LTE, location services, etc. I'm usually streaming, listening to music or playing games.

    Getting texts via Bluetooth

    I don't have SVoice. I've heard it's horrible compared to Google Now. I'm also exploring Cortana as my personal assistant for now. It also doesn't help because unless I'm expecting a text, I don't know to go look for it. I want a push, not a pull, system.

    Getting texts via Bluetooth

    I've looked into the driving app, and it doesn't seem to want to work. I'm on AT&T and their "Driving Mode" app really blows. I updated my Ford Sync to the latest release, and I can't believe there are newer Bluetooth specifications that my Galaxy has that my Windows phone and iPhone don't...

    Getting texts via Bluetooth

    Hello. I just recently made the transition from a Lumia 1020 Windows 8.1 phone to an S6. I have a 2010 Ford Focus with the Ford Sync system. On my 1020, when connected to Bluetooth, I was able to have my texts read to me over my speakers and reply via hands free. I cannot for the life of me...
