    Win Samsung's next new phone from Android Central!

    I'd give it a good home.

    S6 & Waze

    I use Waze a lot and have had zero problems. AT&T S6. Make sure you're running updates for apps.

    Touch Wiz has stopped working

    I've been getting this too. Usually after a period of inactivity, wake up the phone and TouchWiz crashes. Doesn't seem to hurt anything beyond being a little annoying. I'm on the AT&T variant.

    What is this strange phone icon?

    That looks like the icon that tells you the speaker phone is active.

    Chrome has been closing shortly after launch

    Same here. If I click on a link or go directly to a site it crashes. It does seem to work on the second try after relaunching though.

    Why are my notifications inconsistent?

    Re: Notifications inconsistent As an experiment you could try Google Messenger or Hangouts for SMS/MMS to see if that changes the text notification behavior. As for emails, each account has its own notifications/sound/vibrate settings. Make sure each one is set individually to how you want it.

    Google Play Services and Google Push Updates?

    It will prevent your phone from retrieving certain information for you. Unless you have some specific reason to disable background data for Google Play Services I would leave it on. There is also something called Google Services Framework which is a different thing with different consequences...

    If the app is installed with no updates waiting/pending then you're good.

    Milk Video

    Find the app in the app drawer (the full listing of all apps, by clicking on dot grid menu at the bottom of the home screen). Tap and hold Milk Video then drag it to the Disable icon at the top of the screen.

    Google Play Services and Google Push Updates?

    You can restrict background data for Google Play Services. That's in Settings, Data usage, find Google Play Services, toggle restrict background data to 'on'. But that doesn't restrict it based on the charger being plugged in or not, it restricts it based on being a background or foreground...

    The patch you need to apply is the update to "Samsung Push Service" in the Google Play Store.

    Google Play Services and Google Push Updates?

    It's an update in the Play Store for an app called "Samsung Push Service". Just update all your apps and you should get that one as well. Open the Play Store, tap the three bar menu icon in the upper left, select My apps, Update All.
