    NO music player will continue past one song on my Note 4

    I've had my Note 4 for 2 yrs and never really used it much for music, but I want to now and It's exhibiting a stupid behavior. My music files are stored on SD card and, no matter what file I play or what player I use (I've tried native and VLC), it will only play one track at a time and there is...

    how to play just one song once?

    What the... I'm having exactly the opposite problem. The native player on my note 4 will ONLY play one song then stop. I cannot find anywhere in the settings how to make it play all files in the folder.

    PIN Required on Restart

    I never had to do this before upgrading to 6.0, so it's a new requirement in Marshmallow due to mandatory encryption being re-enabled.

    Note 4 randomly freezes then goes to lock screen

    Since when? I have the latest 5.1.1 update on my note4 .and it's still happening. EDIT: My note4 has been running 6.0 for about a month now and the random lock screen issue is gone. However, now I have a couple new issues. I'm seeing random reboots a couple times a week, which I never had...

    Note 4 randomly freezes then goes to lock screen

    I've been having the same issue since upgrading to 5.1.1 and it's really pissing me off. Mine is a Sprint note 4, but it's not exclusive to Sprint, as I know a couple others with different carriers having the same problem. Also, disabling the fingerprint reader and doing a complete factory reset...

    'Google Location Service is disabled' alert keeps popping up

    I have the same scenario after doing a factory reset on my Note4. I intentionally keep ALL location services OFF and only enable when I need it. Unfortunately, this annoying popup keeps appearing and can't be disabled. Like the OP, I never saw this before factory resetting my Note4. I just want...

    USB Mass Storage for Note 4??

    That's the whole point, drag/drop is NOT working for many of us. For me it stopped working when I upgraded to 5.1. No matter what PC I connect it to, it shows up in explorer but I can't access it.

    USB Mass Storage for Note 4??

    USB storage has NOT been long gone from Android. I was using the feature with my note 4 on Windows 7 desktop almost everyday when I was running Android 5.0. However, when I upgraded to the dreaded 5.1.1 I lost the ability to mount it. Now it shows up in Windows Explorer, but cannot be accessed...

    5.1.1 Sprint OTA for Note 4 (not edge)- "stuff" and Performance Observations

    Bottom line: there is no problem, inherently, with the note 4. Mine was an absolute dream before upgrading to 5.1.1. This update ruined my note 4 experience. Even after doing factory reset and clearing cache multiple times I am still having lock screen lag and other annoying issues. I've decided...

    I decided to do a factory reset. It seems to be working OK so far...

    5.1.1 Sprint OTA for Note 4 (not edge)- "stuff" and Performance Observations

    That was the first thing I tried, didn't work. When I turn on my wifi, all I get is a blank white screen and no connection is established, although the wifi icon is shown.

    5.1.1 Sprint OTA for Note 4 (not edge)- "stuff" and Performance Observations

    Something was telling me to avoid this update for a while but, against my own judgement, I jumped on it a few days ago and it's been a nightmare ever since. My Note 4 won't connect to any wifi now, not at home, work, or public hotspots. It's also lagging like crazy. Just accessing the pulldown...

    Changing Default Hangouts Contact Pictures

    I've really grown to hate Google and their incessant push to integrate ALL of their services and tie them to G+. All I want to do is change my own profile pic in Hangouts, which seems to be impossible without G+. I do not have a G+ account and don't want one. So I guess I'm stuck with the...

    Note 4 How many have disabled flipboard from home screen?

    Re: How many have disabled flipboard from home screen? I've already disabled the swipe-right feature, but I want to keep flipboard, since the news options are pretty good. I just really hate the daily unnecessary notifications. In fact, I'm irritated by all of the Android apps that bombard me...
