    Upgrade time, G4 or G5

    Wow, I was going to suggest the newer one because of what I thought were better specs, but you say the chipset is faster in the G4. I have a G4, and it's decent but a bit underpowered compared to top tier phones. Is the G5 really something of a step back? In that case, I guess the G4 is a...

    Re: 7.0 Pushing out Same for the Amazon version of the phone - got it this morning!

    Is Nexus 5 still a good buy and will it receive N?

    This is timely - I picked one up this AM for $90. I had one a year or two ago and my wife still has one. Looking forward to dumping the iPhone 6S (yep!) and returning to stock Android!

    Note 5 vs iPhone 6s

    iphone vs note 5 I've never had a problem group texting with iPhone users, even with the native Samsung messaging app. Apart from the limitations on sending videos over MMS (which I don't do really), my experience has basically been the same as with iMessage, including sending photos...

    Note 5 vs iPhone 6s

    Re: iphone vs note 5 You can upload to YouTube or Google Photos and share a link. It's possible Hangouts or other apps will also allow you to just send videos without any compression, but everyone has to agree to use Hangouts, which can be a tough sell with the iCrowd! For what it's worth, I...

    Why aren't I receiving Gmail push notifications on the Galaxy S6?

    Do you have a link to anything that explains the problem and the proposed fix you say is in the works, other than your forum posts? An article, bulletin or something like that? Because I can't find anything of the sort but perhaps I'm not searching for the right terms or misunderstanding you...

    Issues With Gmail Push Notifications

    Thanks, Ivan. Out of curiosity, are you using it with an Outlook Exchange account? Also, did you happen to test SMS and Hangouts? Sorry to beat a dead horse - I'm just really interested in a Note 5 (using iOS but not a huge fan) and want to know if there are any deal-breakers. I appreciate it...

    Issues With Gmail Push Notifications

    Me too. Nuts - I wanted this phone a lot. But I'm not going to put up with an issue that's important to me and so basic that it shouldn't exist in the first place. Oh, well - hopefully they'll sort it out with the next update and I'll just get it then.

    Issues With Gmail Push Notifications

    So strange. I took advantage of the Samsung Test Drive to try the S6 Edge and the push notifications were working fine, but I only kept the phone for a week. It was a beautiful device, but threads like these are making me gun shy about jumping. I'm curious to see how it works out for you because...

    Issues With Gmail Push Notifications

    Hey, Wildo, when you say Outlook, do you mean Exchange Outlook (as opposed to Outlook.com)? I've been mulling over the Note 5, but if I'm missing work emails as opposed to Gmails, that would be a huge problem. Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why aren't I receiving Gmail push notifications on the Galaxy S6?

    Can anyone tell me whether this problem also affects Exchange notifications and regular SMS/MMS messages? I am on the fence about getting an S6, and I could live with a bug that affects Gmail and Hangouts - which I'm sure will be fixed - but I need to have my Exchange email and SMS/MMS working...

    Try the note 5 or s6e+ for free for 30 days for iPhone users

    I placed an order for an S6 Edge (not the Edge Plus) as that's the phone I'd be most likely to buy. As opposed to the Note 5, which is the phone I most want to play with - hmmm... Probably a bad decision. Although I think the S6 may have been the only option left anyway. I haven't received an...

    Battery Meter Gone Haywire

    It's odd - battery doesn't seem to be draining any more quickly than usual, but the battery settings graph shows like 2 hours remaining on a charge. I can't tell yet what the disconnect is. If it's really at 100%, then the estimated time remaining can't be right. On the other hand, if the time...

    Battery Meter Gone Haywire

    Thanks - I'll look. The factory reset didn't do anything to fix it, btw. I'll post a follow up if I can find the recalibration procedures and if they work! BTW - if you do find something, could you please post again? Just in case I don't find the right procedures.

    Battery Meter Gone Haywire

    Uh oh. When I came home today, my N6 was at about 30%, so I put it on the charger and came back after a couple of hours to a warning that the phone was at 2% battery. I unplugged it, and the meter went to 100% right away, so I shrugged it off as a glitch. I used the phone normally until...
