This was in response to a question about my previous post. IF YOU ARE GOING TO A FACTORY RESET, you may as well do it before the update instead of after. Minor updates, I don't worry about it unless I run into problems. Major updates, like LP to MM, some people are forced to do them afterwards...

I think it might be better to do the factory reset BEFORE the update, so the update has a clean slate to work with. You could do a factory reset again after the update, but I think that's probably not necessary. I always power cycle after installing or updating any apps.

If I were to do it again, I would do the full reset first, which will wipe the cache also. Then I would download and install the update. After it "settles in" for a while, I would power cycle it once or twice before reloading your accounts, apps, etc.

Put your phone in Airplane Mode, then re-enable WiFi. It essentially does the same thing.

You might want to try Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store. You can disable the app, or do a "silent uninstall." Hopefully it will do the trick for you.

Same here. I just bought a new Note 5 on New Year's Day from Verizon. It gets about 62-64k on the Antutu Benchmark and fails the Garden 3D test. At the suggestion of a member on XDA, I uninstalled, wiped the cache and reinstalled Antutu. I got about 81k after that, but it only scored about 9000...

I have found way to put my Nexus 6P into a battery-saving mode that is just awesome! I am not sure how many other users have tried using this mode. It's fairly easy to access from a pop-up menu you can get into from the hardware buttons: 1) In portrait mode, press and hold the top button on...

I put my thumb over the camera lens and snap a picture. That is literally what my background is on about every Android device I own. Quick and simple.

Isn't it still 32-bit (Tab S2) vs. 64-bit in the Nexus 9?

Re: Use Galaxy Tab S (wifi only) as a gps I use Sygic for GPS on my Tab S 8.4 in my car. Sygic, available in the Play Store, uses Tom-Tom maps. Once you learn how to navigate with Sygic, it is pretty good. The graphics, speed warnings and camera warnings are great. Just remember that after...

I have an Invisibleshield from Zagg coming in the mail. I'll let you know how it is.

I use Tasker to set my night time settings (volume, brightness, etc) when my phone is plugged in to the charger and connected to my home Wi-Fi. You could easily set your alarm based on the same conditions. The only problem with that is when the power goes out (no charger, no Wi-Fi). But I am...

IDK, never had this problem with my S4. Also, I never had a problem with premature answering on my S4,either. Sometimes the really savvy developers will tell you your bug is really an enhanced feature.
