If that's the case, it'll be a nice work around for me to use my bank account vs my credit card for purchases (my bank does not support Samsung pay at this point in time...but it's on their "roadmap." Whatever the hell that means). It's the only reason I don't use Samsung pay as much as I...

Semi-noob question. I have USB debugging turned on. Where do I input these commands once I am connected to my computer?

Don't you have to be rooted to do that? I haven't rooted and wasn't really planning on doing it.

Not a fan of the navigation bar change.

What it sounds like is the person had no idea what they were talking about. My response would have been "that's for me to worry about, not you."

From a little research and assumptions, the watch turns the wifi on so it can sync the settings. That way, if you are away from your phone (out of BT range), wifi on the watch will try to connect to the same network so you will still receive notifications etc.

After some more trial and error, I figured out what's causing it. It's my gear s2. Even though it connects to my phone via Bluetooth, it apparently turns my WiFi on when it initially connects to my phone.

Yeah, I pretty much always have it turned off. I only turn it on if I have a lot of app updates to do and turn it off as soon as they're done.

Nope. I pretty much have every WiFi setting turned off that I can think of. The only one I have on is "Keep WiFi on during sleep" because I don't want it to shut off if I choose to update apps over wifi and turn the screen off.

Nope, I do not have WiFi calling activated.

One issue I have with this device is that any time I restart it, the WIFI automatically turns on. I have unlimited data and pretty much have WIFI turned off 95% of the time. I just want it to retain the setting it was on when the device is restarted. So really, this isn't a big issue, more of...

Unfortunately. The perils of being an engineer.

Because I sit at a computer all day and can see the time in the lower right corner of my screen. And when I'm not at a computer, my s2 shows me my notifications, and the cable box in my bedroom shows me the time at night. No need for AOD. Plus, I'm not glued/addicted to my phone constantly...

Go to Settings - Lock Screen and Security - Secure Lock Settings. See if you have the "Lock instantly with power key" toggled. The problem in the scenario you laid out is you unlock the phone while using it, so it stays unlocked until your normal security settings take hold. If you toggle the...

Pretty much the same. Unless I'm going golfing after work, I charge it a bit in the afternoon to make sure I've got enough juice to run my yardage app.
