    Note 7 - Battery Life (Replacement Devices)

    Re: Note 7 Battery Draining Too Fast Problem is, it's the first time it's been at the top of the list. Usually, it's at the bottom...and I've been having this problem for a long time. Normally, it's the Android OS listed at the top.

    Note 7 - Battery Life (Replacement Devices)

    Re: Note 7 Battery Draining Too Fast I do use BT for a lot of things but it's not draining fast ALL of the time, just most of the time. That's what's so strange. Can't figure out what's causing the drain.

    Note 7 - Battery Life (Replacement Devices)

    Re: Note 7 Battery Draining Too Fast This isn't a general, "How to get longer battery life," question, this is an actual problem with the device/battery. I've searched all over and there was nothing specifically about this problem. I'm not looking to extend the life of my battery, I'm looking...

    Note 7 - Battery Life (Replacement Devices)

    Re: Note 7 Battery Draining Too Fast Thanks. I'm in a full signal strength area. All carriers load bloatware, I'm just trying to figure out if that's the problem and, if it is, how to determine which one is causing the issue.

    Note 7 - Battery Life (Replacement Devices)

    Note 7 Battery Draining Too Fast I have one of the replaced Note 7s. I have noticed my battery draining WAY fast. As an example, this morning, I turned it on (after a full charge) about 35 minutes ago. I am now at 83%. I have done next to nothing with the phone since turning it on--I checked a...

    Not receiving notifications on my Gear S2

    I stopped into the T-Mobile store today to see if they could help me. Amazingly, they were able to help me. They turned off/on Call Forwarding. That seemed to make it work. Don't know why but it's working all day now.

    Not receiving notifications on my Gear S2

    So I've had a Gear S2 Classic for about a month now. Initially, I couldn't get notifications to work--called T-Mobile tech support, etc. Then, for some reason, they just started working. Don't know how/why. Worked fine. Was using an LG V10. Then, I pre-ordered the Galaxy Note 7. When it...

    Slo Motion Not working

    I'll have to try Videoshow. I love Google Photos for a lot of reasons. I don't care about doing slo-mo very often but it's cool to shoot things in slo-mo like fire. :) Thanks.

    Slo Motion Not working

    Ok, I know what you're talking about now. I use Google Photos as my default app. It shouldn't matter what my default app is if I'm opening it in Gallery. I don't have a Video app on the phone. Strange thing is, I went into the video I did the other night in Photos and played it. It started off...

    Slo Motion Not working

    I'm able to do everything you do...until I get into the Gallery App. No popup window, it just plays the video at normal speed. No slo-mo. Tried it again last night. Same thing. Very annoying.

    Slo Motion Not working

    Hmm, I can't figure this out and it's really annoying.

    Slo Motion Not working

    Yes I am. What bothers me is there is sound with it. My understanding is the phone doesn't record sound when recoding slo-mo. I don't see any other settings in the camera app for slo-mo to change.

    Slo Motion Not working

    Thanks. I must be missing something, however, it seems pretty straight forward. I go into the camera app and select slo-mo, record, then open in Gallery for playback. But no slo-mo. No control to select speed...

    Slo Motion Not working

    Anyone? I've seen that others have had this issue elsewhere but haven't found a solution to the problem yet. Is anyone out there able to actually record a slo-mo video?
