    Battery life abysmal the past 2 days.. Otterbox??

    Subscribed. You and I have the exact same problem. I'm also using an otterbox, though I've had it for a while.

    Battery suddenly draining quickly.

    Haha, perhaps I should have posted this thread in the s5 form. I have no idea if my phone gets hot or not because I have it encased in an OtterBox. Perhaps tomorrow I'll take it out of the case and see if the phone gets hot suddenly. A bit of research shows me that we are not alone in having...

    Battery suddenly draining quickly.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 on Verizon with rooted lollipop. A little over a week ago I started having some battery drainage issues. Yesterday I chewed up almost 60% of the battery through only light use - unplugged from midnight through about 5 a.m. while I was asleep, an alarm clock, a handful...

    Why can I not connect to my wi fi?

    Re: Why can I not connect to my wi fi Can you connect to it with another device? Can you see your network in the list of available networks? Is the password correct? These may sound like silly question, but often times it's one of these simple things that is out of whack.

    Is it possible to have notification sounds just for text messages?

    Re: Please help! This is driving me nuts. It's a similar process for changing the notification sounds for the other applications as well.

    Re: Please help! This is driving me nuts. Yes. Go to the Messaging app - menu-settings-notifications. Then choose the ringtone that you want for text messages only.

    What exactly does it mean to root a cell phone?

    Re: what exactly does it mean to root a cell phone? Rooting an Android phone essentially means setting yourself up with the rights to make edits and changes to the operating system that you would otherwise not be able to do. It is the equivalent of jailbreaking an iPhone. I'm a little curious...

    Re: iphone6 will not pair with my galaxy2 samsung tablet ,it say can not connect . Wouldn't surprise me if the latest iPhones can't use Bluetooth in this manner.

    WiFi password too long for Galaxy S4?

    That is an obscenely long password. Is there a reason that you can't change the wifi password to a more reasonable length? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Why people having a hard time hearing me on my Galaxy S5?

    Re: why people have haed time hearing me on my galaxy s5? Try using the Voice Recorder and make a recording while holding the device like you were using it as a phone. How does it sound? And if you really want to do a bit of testing, sign up for a Skype account and use the call testing...

    Re: i dropped my phone and the screen still worked until i restarted it now i have a black screen Did you purchase this phone directly from a service provider? If so I would take it back to one of their stores and see if they can repair it. I've had to do this a couple of times with devices...

    How to transfer saved voice mails to my computer?

    Many moons ago I did that by going to the Verizon website on a PC and downloading my voicemails from there. I don't remember exactly how I did it step by step, though. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
