Thats probably the most sensible thing Ive heard in a year. The question I would ask however is, how do I keep that from happening? Do I need to shut off wifi every time I leave the house? I have wifi calling because the area I live in is a KNOWN cellular dead zone. We all get service once we...

Ok, I have a galaxy note 20 ultra 5G. I love it, it does what I need it to do. I use google and bing to make calls, but on occasion, I am told by the AI that it cant make the call until I turn the mobile data on. Now, its always when Im driving and trying to make a hands free call. So its really...

So about a year plus ago i was running Kodi 19.4 flawlessly when it started acting up. Yes I know that its a thing that is not even supposed to work on this phone but it did, and well now its not. It wont even load. I either launches and crashes, or it launches and just goes black. And the...

Well thanks for the suggestions. Much appreciated! Sadly, still getting the drop outs with or without mics on the ear buds/head sets. It is very random, and solutions seem to be spotty at best.

Umm not for me, its been an issue actually with verizon, att, H2O, and Consumer Cellular... I have no issues coming off of Pandora, Spotify, Tunein etc. Its only off the phone.

It kinda just does it random. Some days are better than other. It matters not if its Blu tooth or headphone or just the native speakers.

Sooooo I've had this issue for a while and am just now getting around to it. I love my phone but this is a little weird. When ever I am playing recorded music from the phone or SD card I get dropouts. Its not all the time. It even happens when nothing else is running (ive shut things down just...

Re: Galaxy S5 Verizon battery life? So because we are with Consumer Cellular IDK if we will get the update. I will have to wait for the manual update I guess. At any rate, we wound up doing a factory reset, and installing Battery Doctor. Well she gets almost 3 days of life now, and that's with...

Been very busy so I havent had time to get back in here. I had a battery draining issue that has finally been resolved. Yay! but it works so cooly! thanks a million! It was weird, on vacay we got the camcorder thing to work but this was a complete mystery! Thanks again!

Re: Galaxy S5 Verizon battery life? Thanks, I'm not a power user. It took me almost 3 years to fully appreciate the things my first smart phone could do. So I will check on the Android version and see whats what.

Galaxy S5 Verizon battery life? I have a question about Verizon's version of this phone. I've been checking around the web on this issue and it seems like there is an awful lot of folks having issues with their phones SUDDENLY having a battery drain. In common, none of them have added anything...

I guess my big question is why here Android system is more than double the percent usage than mine. Ive tried to set the phones side by side and have the same apps running (except the bloat ware cant do anything about that?) and check results that way and her android system is sucking way more...

Re: change in battery life The rpg is on the ATT phone which isnt having any problems. In fact you can see her screen time is 55 min and mine is like 3+hrs and yet theyre really close in battery life. Thats the wacky thing.Neither one of us are pros at this, so there's been little if any...

Re: change in battery life As to the Verizon phone, thats Verizons way of being unhappy about you not using their service. So yes it might be typical. We cant seem to turn the email app off. I've gone into the settings, turned it off and had no change.

Re: change in battery life ok Thank you in advance for all the help. I've learned a lot just poking around on this stuff. So the first set of shots is the Verizon Galaxy. The second is the AT&T. The AT&T still runs just fine but the Verizon is burning battery like no tomorrow.
