    Galacy S7 sudden excessive wifi usage

    So, i just noticed that my phone used 5.1GB wifi data over night without me doing anything. Normally that is not the biggest problem, but over weekends when i am at my girlfriend's it is. They only have 20gb day + 20gb night data. The two main culprits: OS Services with 2.82GB, and Samsung...

    Sudden wifi data spike

    So over the last week or two I noticed a sudden spike in wifi data. Usually not a big problem, but over weekends I am at my girlfriend's place and she has a limited wifi bundle. I use "My Data Manager" to see more accurately which apps use the most data. The two sudden data hogs are "Media...

    Annoying unchangeable alarm sounds

    Can someone please advise me on how to change the alarm sounds? I feel like an old-timer using new technology for the first time just asking this. It was so easy on my Xperia Z2. It actually accepted my choice. Now it does not matter if I use a song in my internal "Downloads" area, or the...

    App of the Day codes

    Quick question. A while back app of the day gave a free upgrade code for Runtastic Running to the Pro version. I got that code when i still had my Xperia Z2. I recently upgraded to the Samsung S7, but noticed that i only have the free version and must pay for the pro version. Should it not carry...

    Changing screen timeout...permanently

    Mine worked for a while on the 1 minute setting. Then it reverted back to the 30 seconds option. Almost like it's a factory made default setting. Has anyone else experienced this? Or know of a permanent fix?

    Changing screen timeout...permanently

    Quick question, but how do i permanently change the screen timeout duration? I know the setrings-display-screen timeout way. It only works once then reverts back to 30 seconds. Is there a way to save the selected option? I had the same issue on my Sony Z2. Posted via the Android Central App

    Stargazing app query

    I have a quick question about stargazing apps. I have used StarTracker since my BlackBerry Z10 days. It is a wonderful app that was always more or less completely accurate (though at times I must aim slightly lo to the left of any star or planet). It has gotten worse on my Sony Z2. I also then...

    New Z2 Android user in need of advice

    I did some searching on google and it does seem that my SmartBand SWR10 could be at the root of this problem for a great many users. I will turn off my Bluetooth and see how it goes for a few days. I am currently running Android Version 4.4.2 with Build number 17.1.2.A.0.314. Some seem to have...

    New Z2 Android user in need of advice

    Two days ago I upgraded my contract and decided to go with the Z2 for the price, but also for the Smartband. I am still getting used to the phone, and will probably be trawling the forums a lot for advice in the next few weeks. I do need some advice however for a very annoying problem. Since...

    Android newbie in need of help

    With minimal at-work use I can easily get by on my Z10. I do most off my browsing at home with WiFi. I do have to top up sometimes. It's not the end of the world. Though in South Africa data is rather expensive for relatively little. For $3 I can get 150mb for instance. Posted via Android...
