I found a solution. I went to https://contacts.google.com/ and added My Wife in there are Kelley Mobile and now it works. It looks like it doesn't like Outlook synching anymore for contacts. Nice Job Google. :)

I tried that. Even tried creating a different contact named Wife, Wife's Mobile, etc. This is really weird because anyone else I try works. It literally shows Kelley Mobile and then says Who do you want to call? When I changed it to just Wife and said Call Wife, it says I don't have that...

This happened after an update although I cant confirm that is what caused it. I have her said for Kelley Mobile. I say while driving Call Kelley Mobile and it cannot find it. It seems to call everyone else that I have called while driving but not her. Anyone run into this before?

Sorry but I believe Samsung is blowing smoke on the slowing the whole system down. My wife has a Sony Z3 while a little bigger, that is a phone that is made of heavy duty parts, has extremely good speed, is waterproof yet still handles having the SDMicro Slot. I understand the battery being...

HI Guys, I am one of the old IT people who had smart phones before anyone else did and used Palm, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, and then switched to Android and preferred Samsung. As a former S3/S5 and current S6 Owner, I am dumbfounded why Sammy did not just allow a removable metal back cover...

Same problem with Rooted S5 on 4.4.2 on VZW, I went into security and cleared all certs and it allowed me to change it back to my swipe screen. I will never use FoxFI again and I used to be a big supporter of it. I don't like the cert method it uses especially since they don't have one for...

I am not sure if it gives you the option to delay it for a day and then forces it on you after some time. If memory serves, I believe they do force it on you sometime. My advice is real easy. Run the Towelroot (Google it). Install Titanium Backup from Google App Store Install SuperSU from...

Towelroot does root the phone. It gives it superuser access. The whole ROMs and the Verizon KNOX is the reason you cant run custom ROMs on the S5. Verizon is trying to sell KNOX to the corporate world as being unbreakable. I don't run custom ROMs on Samsung's hardware but I hope someone...

There is nothing wrong with your method but if you have Titanium Backup, just Freeze SDM 1.0 or back it up and wipe it. Titanium backup just makes it quicker and easier for me but renaming the apk would work just the same, Dean PS: I will NEVER EVER except another VZW update as S2/S3 and now...

Can you give an example of usage and how far it goes down by looking at the battery screen under settings? Also, have you turned off bloatware from your cell carrier? Dean

Everyone with an android phone should read that article BUT programs like Fast Reboot Pro can save you battery life as long as you are killing CPU hog programs only. As a general rule, it is better not to just clear out everything with a task manager but there are exceptions. RAM is handled...

I have mine optimized pretty good. I was out tonight for 5 hours after using it all day but did charge it and I had about 32 minutes of phone calls, had the screen on the whole time at my kids little league game as I use a scorekeeper, stat tracker, and other program as I am the official score...

Yes I did. I don't have any lag and don't tend to multitask 20 things at once on my phone like I do my laptop but for those people that load a ton of apps and like everything to be running then Fast Reboot Pro lets you reboot those pesky services that startup and was well worth the buck I paid...

Thanks for the heads up on this, I have owned the paid version for years but downloaded the latest beta for the row of numbers. I guess I will have to turn off the arrows because the keyboard takes up a little too much space but this should have been an option in Swiftkey from Day 1. Also, I...

Thanks. I believe this is where I had the issue. The only downside is that your screen can stay on and eat up battery with this setting..
