Why do I see "RCS Message" on my chat box when I text with one friend, who I believe has a Google phone? How can I get rid of this message while retaining the RCS features? Otherwise, I would turn off RCS. Is RCS really worth it? Thanks. PS I have the A53 and that "RCS Message" on the...

Thanks for the responses, guys. What a disappointment. Why change something for the worse?

Hi, Until my latest software update, I was able to change the background on my text messages so that there was some contrast between the background and the texts messages. However, I do not see the option in setting in order to change the background or themes anymore on the setting menu...

Hi, I tried to get the address of the house I was visiting by using Google Maps. I have a Galaxy S7. When I clicked on the blue dot on Maps, rather than showing me the exact location like it did for my girlfriend, I received a screen that showed me my Google profile pic. Can someone please...

I don't know if this has something to do with the fact that I used the power saving feature, but I used to be able to see text notifications and the weather once my screen locked after 30 seconds of non use. But now, it goes completely blank. Does anyone know why? Thanks.

How can I tell which apps are taking up most of my battery? Thanks.

Thanks...I have battery sever on medium as well..what is data server? How do I make sure nothing is allowed to sync automatically.

So, I upgraded from the S3 to the S7 about 6 months ago and was totally blown away by how much faster the phone charged and how long the battery lasted. But, now both features have certainly slowed down. I have added a Gmail count reader since then as well the Venmo app, but could such apps...

Thanks. I used that for the 3. I thought it may not have needed it for the 7.

Got it. Thanks. In addition to my 7 that I have for personal reasons, I've also been issued an iPhone 5 for work use. I hardly use that iPhone, however. But, I did notice that the battery life on the iPhone is comparable, if not better than the galaxy s7. Is this in part because the screen on...

On my new S7, the Samsung email icon lets me know how many unread emails I have. However, the gmail icon has no such number counter on it. How can enable such a feature, please? Thanks.

I must say that I don't get some of these "upgrades". It seemed perfectly reasonable that my pics on the S3 would go to the gallery, and that from there I could send pics to either my drive or to others. And, is there a way to set up S7 to that any pics taken go into my drive or basically is...

I see. Thanks. And, is best to keep from 80 to 90 on the other end> Is 100 too much for the battery? I assume therefore that there is no truth to the fact that one should let the battery die every once and awhile?

Hi, Thanks for the response. Yes, I have Google Photos now. I do not believe I had this previously (I assume this was not available for the S3?) So, is Google Photos the way to manage pics now as opposed to the Gallery? If so, what is the Gallery good for now?

Hi, I'm still getting used to my new S7 after using the S3 for years. I used to be able to select multiple photos from my gallery and upload them to my drive. I don't seem to be able to have that option on the 7. Any suggestions, please? Also, is there a way to automatically sync photos...
