    Does anyone find S Health useful?

    Re: Does anyone find S Health useful? Calories in/Calories out Calories burned and Calories eaten are both recorded in the S Health app, but they are not easily readable "side by side" or "day by day." You have to flip a couple of pages and view them separately. Is this intentional? Maybe most...

    S7 (Verizon) Will Not Connect to PC

    Hello folks, I won't offer a solution to a few of you who have this connection problem to the PC because there may be more than one solution, but I can offer you a story about this problem and the happy ending it had for me. I was just as frustrated as many of you when I plugged my new S7 Edge...

    changing the sound for the S7 Timer

    Glad to know others are bothered by this small detail. My son thought I was silly to care about it. But, if you use an app frequently, and have to hear a RUDE sound every time you use it, it can get irritating. I ended up actually purchasing another timer from the Play Store. $2.00 I think. Well...

    Menu options, s7 Edge, bottom leftt tap

    Splendid! Who would have guessed? Tap and hold on the back button. Bingo, it did it. But, still, I wonder if the change in finding the menu options was necessary. Thanks, ChanChan, for telling me it was Google and not Samsung. Don't mess with Google, huh? Well, it is a major change from the...

    Menu options, s7 Edge, bottom leftt tap

    Before I got my s7 Edge (just a couple of weeks ago) I had a Note 3. On the Note 3, the bottom left tap (next to the start button) brought up a menu list of options for whatever app was open on the screen. This was very useful. On the s7 Edge, the bottom left tap is completely different. It...

    Who Is Using a Leather Flip/Wallet Case for S7 Edge?

    I completely agree that the standard rubber type case (that young folks get) leaves the screen unprotected. I got a leatherette wallet type case for my Galaxy Note 3 after dropping it on a gravel drive and cracking the screen. Did it 2 weeks into my two year plan on Verizon. So, when I just got...

    Galaxy S7 Edge - What screen protector ?

    I just installed two IQ Shield skins on the S7 Edge, one on my new phone and one on my son's. Got them delivered in one day (free shipping) on Amazon, and installed them on 2 day old phones. I watched the IQ Shield installation video (twice) on YouTube, and followed their instructions...

    changing the sound for the S7 Timer

    I've had the S7 Edge for just two days, and have discovered that there is no list of selections for sounds on the Samsung Timer. I use the Timer all the time, and the one sound that comes with the S7 Edge is horrendous, totally unacceptable. On my 2 year old Galaxy Note 3, I had a long list of...

    20 years with Microsoft and now must struggle with Android

    Let me say first that computers for me, whether handheld or desktop, are "working tools" not entertainment. I have miles of Outlook contact information and decades of Word and Excel documents. I'm trying to get mobile with these and have just bought a Galaxy Note 3 phone, and a Galaxy Note...

    Google maps / Note 3 issues

    More on Google Maps and Note 3. Not the same problem but never the less troublesome. I cannot figure out how to "save locations" on my new Galaxy Note 3 phone. It already has three saved locations from my previous device, but I cannot find the path to save additional locations like a...

    Google map and GPS display problem on Galaxy Note 10.1

    Well, I eventually found the answer to my own question from one of these bright kids at Best Buy. I had to tap on Navigation to get the big info box on the screen to disappear so I could see the whole map. I had been avoiding that because I didn't want to hear the gal telling me where to turn...

    Google map and GPS display problem on Galaxy Note 10.1

    The Galaxy Note 10.1 (wi-fi only) has a troubling feature when displaying a guided route. Of course, I have to get a route on wi-fi at home before leaving the house, and then it displays that nice blue outline telling me where I'm going. And, once I leave home the GPS follows me perfectly...
