Back up your device to Samsung Cloud, Smart Switch, or your provider of choice, then do a factory reset if this occurred after the update. To my knowledge, and I admit I am no expert, this should not damage your battery.

Having owned 3 of the last 4 Note models, I was not happy about jumping to an S8 after having issues with replacements under warranty for Note 5 through my carrier. I miss my S Pen amd related features daily. That so, the rumored price tag has me going back to my old ways, doubtful I will get a...

The internet cried and moaned about "premium look and feel" for a number of years and Samsung listened after a time.

Yes. Wtthout hesitation Posted via the Android Central App

They will update it through the launch of the Note 8 at the least, unless I have incorrectly done the math. Every Samsung flagship device (S3, N3, N4, N5) I have owned has seen at least 2 major OS updates with continued security updates beyond. The only thing Samsung has not been consistent with...

If it is a Nexus, I doubt the standard BB security features will be in play as it technically Google's phone. Posted

A 4 to a 7 I think is a decent "upgrade" assuming you are not dependent on some of the software/hardware options you would lose like the IR blaster. Jumping from a 5 to a 7 on the other hand is where I would have (and am having) a bit of trouble. Posted

Samsung has a Wifi transfer app in the Galaxy App Store, you could give it a go and see if it meets your needs Posted

Did you use Action Memo or Memo? If it was Action Memo, look in SNote, the two were merged with the Note 4. If you used Memo, were you using a custom ROM? Custom ROMs are the only instance I have ever seen the Memo app on a Note, all other instances have been on S devices.

Just a guess but maybe that is the number of unread messages on his end.

I use it daily to track food/water, steps, walks, and some workouts. I use it on both my Note 5 and Gear S. I noticed too, after the last update, that S Health will now track sleep pretty accurately automatically on my Note.

I caught the update this morning as well. Nice update. The ad blocker plugin helps quite a bit although it doesn't seem to pick up all of the ads, it is a marked improvement.

I too swore never to let my Note 4 go. I purchased the first one, one week following launch. Since, I have had it replaced 4 times due to hardware/software issues, mostly hardware. Last week I moved on to a Note 5 with much reluctance after I saw signs of a recurring issue showing up yet again...

Re: Fast Wireless Charger 2 for 1 deal on Samsung doesn't work!! Combined with my 30% off coupon from Samsung, this deal would have had me at $52 shipped for the pair. Not bad I think. I hesitated though and wanted to check on some things first. When I remembered and went to check out today...

Hmm...don't know what to do in that case. I will look into if AT&T got the same changes as T Mobile since ultimately that was the cause of my issue and what fixed it.
