    does a stylus / s pen work with A5? i want to remote desktop

    what type of cheap stylus are you referring to? the screen is capacitive, so this limits the material. i have tried metal, plastic, rubber,all sorts of staples & paper clips, the only thing that worked apart from my finger was a gold ring. have you tried actually this with a 'cheap stylus' ?

    "secure" portable storage ? huh

    i put in a micro sd in my s7 , clicked format, and a message said formatting portable storage to make it secure does that make sense? it is portable precisely because it has no form of security, and is suited to sharing btwn devices. is this a copy and paste error from the text for the format...
