    Looking for watch software version...

    On the watch, go to Settings, then About Watch, scroll down to Software - click on that and you can scroll through the Tizen version, Software version, Knox version, and Security status. By the way, I’ve had a notification on my phone in the Galaxy Wearable app for about a week, saying...

    New update out.

    Yes, I’m in Texas and on AT&T and got the September security patch a few weeks ago - don’t remember exactly when, but it’s been awhile. I got the phone in late August, and if I recall correctly, I got an update (not the September one) almost immediately after activating the phone. That’s not...

    Are Galaxy watch faces interchangable with Galaxy Gear S3 faces

    I just got mine last week, but I have downloaded a few watch faces from Galaxy Apps, and at least a couple of them were posted in April 2018, well before the Galaxy Watches were released, and they work just fine.

    Disappearing navigation bar and status bar

    OK, just saw something interesting on YouTube - user GregglesTV, who does a lot of tech stuff, posted a report on the issue of nav buttons not working even after repeated presses - I know that’s different from your issue, but one of the comments on the video says his nav buttons tend to...

    Galaxy watch wake up

    Don’t know if it helps at all, but there is an option to turn the bezel to wake up the screen. In settings, under the Advanced section.

    Disappearing navigation bar and status bar

    Well, I don’t know if this will help, but I looked around settings and couldn’t find anything. I have Good Lock installed and thought maybe there was something in there. While I had it opened, I noticed my navigation bar had disappeared. However, if I swiped up from the bottom of the screen...

    Samsung galaxy note 9 related

    OK, let’s all take a deep breath - I actually checked out the link ([emoji33]), and at the bottom of the page is the relevant disclaimer: “World News Daily Report assumes all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters...

    Share your Note 9 home screen!

    I’m not using Nova Launcher, so I’m not sure if it interferes with this, but here’s how to add the app button: Settings-Display-Home screen-Apps button. That should get you to the screen with “Show Apps button” and “Hide Apps button” selections. Hope it works with Nova!

    I think it knows

    It’s true.... I had a water heater years ago that was getting old, but still working OK. Ordered a new one on a Friday, to be delivered the next Tuesday. Sunday night I hear some noise in the garage - lo and behold, the bottom had rusted and water was gushing out! Yes, they know...... 🤣

    Car cigarette lighter splitter USB doohickey to charge multiple devices.

    I had one in an old car a few years ago that had three DC outlets (those are the round ones) and a cord that plugged in to the single cigarette lighter port. If you check Amazon for DC Outlet Splitter With USB you should find several options.

    What has your experience with Samsung Pay been like?

    I've used it at a couple of different terminals that use the chip reader with no problem. These particular terminals do have the swipe option, too, but if you use a card with a chip, they require you to insert the card. My phone has worked fine with them. The only thing I have noticed is that...

    Cool!! I just floated five different apps on my home screen, so it'll do at least two more ;) Thanks for the tip!

    Which alarm app do you use?

    Ditto! I've used Alarm Clock xTreme for years and love it. It's got just about any option you might want and is a very stable app.

    Sync contacts with gmail

    I had the same problem when I was transferring info to my Note 5 - I hadn't been real careful setting up sync on my Note 2. After several unsuccessful tries, I discovered that you need to save new contacts to your Google (gmail) account, rather than Device or some other account. When you add a...
