    Yet another battery drain thread

    The phone is about a year old. I might try getting another battery. Regarding Location and Bluetooth: With my job, my parents tend to worry, so we use Life360 to track where we all are. I had the drain before using that, so I'm thinking its not that. I have a Samsung Gear S2, so I need the...

    Yet another battery drain thread

    Yeah, unfortunately I have no control over that. I do have an SD card. You said you reset and restored the phone, I'm guessing you did a factory reset? I can definitely try formatting the SD card as I can fully back that up without issue, but I really, really don't want to do a factory reset...

    Verizon Messages+ vs stock Messages app vs Hangouts vs anything else

    I use AirDroid with the stock Messages app. AirDroid offers a Windows program and web-based app. Messages sent from AirDroid are shown in the Messages app.

    Yet another battery drain thread

    I'll post one when I get a chance for the phone to be idle. There are times I am in fringe areas. I can usually compensate by turning mobile data off (if it actually works - I have a suspicion the data doesn't turn off) It had 4.4, maybe even the version before that. I did perform a factory...

    Yet another battery drain thread

    It happens on and off regardless of which charger and cable I use - Anker charger at home with stock S5 cable, portable USB charger with charge only cable, or 2A car charger. I guess this recalibrates the battery? I could give it a shot.

    Yet another battery drain thread

    Hi All, I'm sorry for creating another battery drain thread, but I'm getting to the end of my wits and am looking for help. I have a stock S5 on Verizon. Battery seems to drain relatively quickly. A little while ago I left my phone on a portable USB charger in my car while I was out eating...

    How do i transfer my camera photos to my laptop?!

    I use a program called SyncMe. My home computer is always on. At midnight my phone automatically uploads any new photos directly to my computer. No need to hook the phone up to the computer. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Can someone tell me when it's safe to install Lollipop?

    I was wondering the same thing, and came here today to post the same question. For the install window, if you wipe the cache partition from the recovery screen, then install the update, it will fail and not prompt you again for a while.

    S Voice - Enable voice feedback grayed out

    Florida Rob, you are a genius! While I do not have Dashlane installed, I use Lastpass for my password manager. I don't use the keyboard it offers, but it has an accessibility option that monitors windows and offers to fill them in. Disabling that immediately brought back voice feedback. I...

    S Voice - Enable voice feedback grayed out

    Hi All, Not sure when this happened, but I cannot turn on voice feedback in S Voice. It is grayed out. Tried clearing data to no avail. Anyone else having this problem? I have 4.4.4 and am on Verizon. I have done all the OTA updates. Thanks, Chris
