    Recommendation for Backup App

    I've also have used a variety of apps. Helium (Carbon) for apps and app data, and I use Nova's own back up for the homescreen. However, I found that LG Bridge is a fantastic program that did a great job of backing up my fone before I did a factory reset. You should give that serious...

    Is this normal?

    From my experiences with new fones and doing factory resets on those fones I don't know anyone could claim what you are experiencing isn't normal. I just assume the CPU is grinding away having to deal with the setup. I generally find battery life to be poor and unpredictable for the first 2-4...

    Flashlight turning on in my pocket.

    I don't have a good answer, but I did have unexpected behavior like that when I had the knock on feature enabled. It's the one that allows you to tap the screen to wake it.

    Touchscreen sensitivity problem

    My wife and I got a pair of V30s on Black Friday. I seem to of gotten lucky to get one that has no problems, but the one my wife is using is having problems with touch sensitivity, and she noticed it pretty much right away. We both have the class screen protector sold by T-Mobile. For example...

    Should I Turn Off Fast Charging?

    1) I don't have the Nougat update so I can't help there. 2) Assuming that fast charging is turned off, there isn't a reason to avoid using the charger that came with the phone. It will charge at a normal rate with the fast charging off.

    Inaccurate GPS tracking in cloudy weather on TWO S7's

    GPS professional here: Cloudy weather does not (significantly) alter GPS accuracy. There has to be different settings on the phone. For Location, you can have GPS only, or high accuracy GPS + WiFi + mobile networks.

    Tmo now in Guantanamo Bay, can I get a prepaid SIM when I visit?

    Thanks! I'd certainly appreciate any compatibility advice, since for some reason networking is a void in my knowledge of electronics. I have a VZW S7. I had it work successfully on the Orange network in Romania. I'd definitely prefer to buy the SIM and plan stateside since being a contractor...

    Tmo now in Guantanamo Bay, can I get a prepaid SIM when I visit?

    I'll be working on the Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba early next year and I'm pleased to learn they have contemporary cell service there now! Myself and all of my coworkers use Verizon, so I was planning on buying a prepaid plan and SIM and use while down there. We could share the SIM as we...

    Unable to auto rotate pictures in Gallery

    Unfortunately none of these suggestions have worked for me. This issue is the only real problem I have with the phone and it's pretty annoying. I used Samsung's transfer app and I used Nova Launcher. I have launched the Gallery from the app draw and still nada.

    Verizon New OTA Software Update (9/1)

    It's got a lot of negative ratings, but I suspect because it's bloatware. Anyone actually use this service? I'm interested...

    Galaxy S7 Slo mo question

    When you are playing the video, you can tap the screen and it brings up the controls to adjust where and how long to play a section in slow motion. After you've adjusted to how you like, tap the screen to bring up the controls and the Export will be in the top right corner.
