    Used my Gear S to get my Starbucks - very cool

    Lol, I almost did that before I caught myself. @ChuckYoung, thanks for the heads up on Google wallet. Much easier to do what I did using the wallet app. I haven't tried it yet at Starbucks but I suspect it will work.

    Used my Gear S to get my Starbucks - very cool

    Ok, I was bummed out that there isn't a Starbucks app. I wanted to walk up, order my drink, then pay with my watch. Sigh, no such app. Not to be deterred, last week I figured a way around. I took a picture of my bar code and cropped it so it was just the bar code. I copied it to Gallery...

    Negatives to Note 4

    I just moved from Windows phone, which I love, to the Note 4 just for the S pen. I work in Sales. I need to be able to take notes. I used to have several notepads lying around with notes from meetings. No rhyme or reason to the notepads. Now, between the MS Surface 3 and the Note 4, I am...

    Galaxy Note 4: I Got Mine !!

    I just jumped back to Android after being on Windows Phone for the last two years. I really like Windows phone and it was hard to switch. But the Note 4 will do everything I could on my HTC 8x. Prior to the 8x, I had the Galaxy Nexus. Gotta admit that coming back to Android from Windows is...

    Note 10.1 accessories?

    Glad I was able to help. I did see the Samsung pen on Amazon. I can't vouch for it but it appears that others have tried it and it works like the Toshiba pen. I can tell you for sure that with the Toshiba pen you don't need to disable the S-Pen in Settings. I leave my S-Pen in the Note 10.1...

    Note 10.1 accessories?

    S-Pen Alternative I have an old Toshiba (6+years) Windows PC Tablet that came with a stylus. The Toshiba is dead but, on a whim, I tried the stylus on my Note 10.1. It works like a charm. In fact, I think it is smoother that the S-Pen. The stylus is the same size as a pen/pencil so it makes...

    Suddenly, GN getting hot with severe battery drain ***SOLVED***

    Re: Suddenly, GN getting hot with severe battery drain I had this happen to me about 2 months ago. I took my Nexus in to a Verizon Corporate store and showed them the problem. They were going to replace the battery but I told them that I have 3 batteries and it happens with all of them. They...
