I agree, it should not be difficult to support this capability. I'm particularly annoyed because when I validated the account on the new phone, it did not prompt to restore the backup. It immediately created a new database. I think it's because whatsapp was pre-installed on my phone, but there...

Re: Problems moving whatsapp chats and media to another device I finally received a response from whatsapp support. There is no way to restore the chats and media from before the account was transferred to the new device, at least not without losing everything since. What a f*cking...

On my S5, all saved wifi connections were visible in the wifi settings page. On the S7, it seems that only the connections within range are visible. If you go into the data usage / restrict networks, every saved wifi connection is displayed, but there is no way to delete them from there. It...

Re: Problems moving whatsapp chats and media to another device I didn't use an SD card. I understood from the whatsapp website that it would restore from google drive. It didn't. As soon as I started whatsapp on the new phone, it started receiving new chats and media without restoring the chats...

I've been using whatsapp on a samsung gs5. I'm in the process of moving over to a samsung gs7. (I have already registered the new sim card.) I backed up whatsapp on the old phone using google drive. The backup completed without any error. Then I opened whatsapp on the new phone and verified the...

You know the way it's not cool to admit you're a fan of nickelback? It's sort of the same with Samsung. (Just kidding...) Seriously, it is cool to bash on Samsung, but that's more because many people in media are shameless fanboys that would die before using anything but an iphone than because...

Re: any way to check if KNOX is tripped? or reinstall it? You can either boot the phone in download mode, where you will see if the knox flag is set or alternatively install phone info. If knox is tripped, you are stuck. There is no way to clear it. However, even if knox is tripped, you should...

I've searched for this, but haven't found an answer. I have a number of device contacts that I'd like to import into gmail. I haven't been able to figure out how to do it without doing it manually. Any suggestions?

Let us know how this works out. In particular, whether the knox warranty flag gets tripped after you restore the phone (if you restore it).

I noticed that, but unless you happen to type in the first few letters of an incorrect word, you won't see it. It would be nice to periodically scan through the learned words so remove the incorrect ones.

My keyboard seems to have "learned" some incorrect words. Is there a way to view and clear learned words?

Re: Weather Widget on Lockscreen? Why would that be "magical"? It should display the location that you have selected in the widget on the phone. I just noticed that the lock screen is displaying 0 C, even though the location that I set the widget to display is being updated properly.

I'm looking for a privacy app. I would like to have the following capabilities: hide individual contacts (not the entire contacts app) hide call logs for hidden contacts hide sms messages for hidden contacts block incoming calls from hidden contacts hid photos or other files If you are using...

I would like to root my phone to remove bloat (Samsung puts so much garbage on their phones) and to block ads. For me, there would not be a reason to run in root on a regular basis if I could accomplish those things. The phone doesn't belong to me so I don't want to trip knox. In fact, I might...

I agree. I cannot think of any reason to chose an S4 over an S5.
