    Tizen 3 sucks!!

    I *will* say that Tizen 3 sucks. I'm very disappointed, because I loved this watch before the update. Im getting dramatically worse battery life, and the lags mentioned above.In addition, notifications rarely show up when I lift my wrist to see them after the vibration. the watch face turns...

    Gear iconx 2018

    I just got my IconXs today, so it's a bit early. The pairing process is super simple, and they sound good so far. They immediately connect as soon as you take them out of the case. Voice access (Google Assistant or Bixby) works well with a tap and hold. The sound is a bit on the clear side, and...

    What to do... On Vacation in Mexico with ATT Note 7!

    cross posting as an FYI: I am in the middle of a two week business trip to Europe. I was here when the FAA ban was announced. I just got off the phone with AT&T. I will leave the phone in Europe, and go to the local AT&T store where I bought the GN7 , with the box and receipt, and my boarding...

    reports coming in today that people have thrown away their Note 7 at airport

    I am in the middle of a two week business trip to Europe. I was here when the FAA ban was announced. I just got off the phone with AT&T. I will leave the phone in Europe, and go to the local AT&T store where I bought the GN7 , with the box and receipt, and my boarding passes for my return...

    Lock screen question

    The only way I've found to do this is to have one of the Samsung flip cases (clearview, S view). When you open the cover, there is no need to swipe: it goes straight to the home screen, unless you have exceeded your lock time. Then you et the fingerprint screen.

    Anybody use it encrypted?

    I am not encrypted, and I can't use the trusted device feature now. That's because my company's security policy prevents it. So I think the answer is independent of encryption, but rather dependent on the policy your company will push to your phone in order to get email.

    Samsung Stock Email App

    that sucks. Mine works just fine, always has (GN2, GN3, GN4, and now, GN5). I turn off the setting for "Show Images", but when I ask it to show the images in an individual email (inline images), they show up. I sync to the corporate Outlook 365. I haven't found anything compelling enough in...

    Anybody use it encrypted?

    thanks Tintin :) Then after that, it's business as usual, with (in my case) fingerprint only needed after a screen lock? That's pretty un-intrusive.... I like it.

    Anybody use it encrypted?

    I'm thinking of encrypting mine, but I have a question: Once it is encrypted, do you have to enter the decrypt password after screen look, or only after the device reboots? Posted via the Android Central App

    How To Stop Cell Standby?

    Sorry, I should have been more specific. I am not referring to using voice and data simultaneously. I'm referring to battery drain being significantly heavier when I have WiFi connected versus having WiFi turned off. Even without using the phone at all, I drain at 10% per hour when WiFi is...

    How To Stop Cell Standby?

    I'm on AT&T, and my battery drains faster if I am also connected to WiFi. The main new battery hog when this happens is cell standby.

    S NOTE question from a Note NOOB

    You're right, but that doesn't disable Air Command from popping up when I press the stylus button. Just tried it. The only thing you can disable on Air Command is if the floating icon sticks around or not. The act of having Air Command pop up when I click the button doesn't seem to be killable...

    S NOTE question from a Note NOOB

    LectureNotes is a great app. I just tried the stylus button functionality. It works for one button (to activate the eraser), but Air Command still pops up because it also detects the stylus button click. Not sure how to stop that, I don't see an option to disable it. Two button stylus (or double...
