    Got issue fixed, installer of head unit did not hook up cable from vehicle to head unit to trigger auto switching. All good now (with Car Switched turned on in Developer Settings of AA).

    Night vs Day mode won't auto switch

    I have Dark Mode turned on phone all the time (to save battery life and easier on my eyes). Head Unit is one I want to auto switch day and night. I tried car controlled (developer settings), phone controlled. No auto changing on car controlled nor phone controlled.

    Night vs Day mode won't auto switch

    I had a Kenwood Head system installed in my vehicle so I could get Android Auto. I can't seem to get it to switch Day and Night mode via automatic. I can manually change mode in settings. Frustrating cause at night, the maps are way too bright but if I use maps in night mode during day, can't...

    My S8+ won't receive calls after update to 9.0

    I got this issue resolved via call with Verizon. I use YouMail and when I upgraded to Android Pie, YouMail was still active and somehow forwarding got screwed up. Verizon disabled all forwarding and I deactivated YouMail and then we reactived the needed forwarding and it all worked. Before...

    My S8+ won't receive calls after update to 9.0

    I have noticed the same thing. I use YouMail and have it send me SMS messages for missed calls so I know when I miss them but seems less than 50% of my calls get through to my phone. No missed call notifications except what YouMail sends me. Some calls get through but not all. Started when I...

    Battery Drain during Flights

    It has been a few months since getting my battery replaced and I get pretty good battery life again (two full days with watch shut down at night). I flew cross country this week (and back) and noticed that on my 6 hour flight to LAX, with my watch in airplane mode, that my watch ran out of juice...

    How much should it cost to repllace the battery on a gear 3 frontier

    I paid $70 to Samsung to do it for me. That way they made sure it was still water tight.

    Battery drain on my s3 frontier smart watch

    Yeah but wanted to make sure watch was still water proof. Safe than Sorry type thought process. I have wrecked a watch before cause I did not get seal back in the proper way.

    New galaxy watch,

    Having MST has been nice a few times when I didn't have phone (or wallet) but that is very seldom. I am torn, I have a watch with the problem with battery life (thanks Tizen 3.0) but it is coming back from Samsung with a new battery (supposedly) after a similar attempt a couple months ago...

    Battery drain on my s3 frontier smart watch

    One day last week, the Gallery App was the top user at over 40% and I have NEVER used that app on my watch. Another day, it was Samsung Health and again, didn't use it (except to count steps and floors, all other stuff is turned off). VERY weird.
