    Vivo XL Screen Timeout

    I agree that is a argument to lock the phone on sleep automatically, but that is not the way stock android behaves. You can set an idle time before the phone requires the password to unlock. I usually set mine for 1 minute. With phones that have a fingerprint reader, I would have it lock...

    Vivo XL Screen Timeout

    For $99, the Vivo XL is a great phone. It has a few quirks like dialogs that read "Cancel/Determine" instead of "Cancel/OK", but they aren't a big deal. The one minor issue I have is with the screen lock under Security Settings. The timeout for auto locking can be set If you choose slide to...

    Did Facebook use the S6 Active as a Guinea pig?

    It's just an article and the statement I quoted is based on hearsay. Just posted the article because we were affected by an outage. During that period I used Facebook a lot less, contrary to the statement. Acutally until recently I was still using Facebook less. Posted via the Android Central App

    Did Facebook use the S6 Active as a Guinea pig?

    I just read this article on Engadget Facebook backup plan would keep it running on Android If the above statement has any truth to it, then the S6 might have been a small enough group to run the experiment on. Hopefully they didn't really do that to anyone. I actually used Facebook a lot...

    5.1.1

    Wow, everything is so much faster! Faster than it previously did even before I put any apps on it A few things I noticed that just run better. Google keyboard swipe, bubble unlock, camera launch from home button. Pretty much everything is faster. Lag seems to be gone, knock on wood. Now I...

    5.1.1

    Upgraded! Seems to be running pretty well, but time will tell. Other than Samsung Pay, I noticed they have added a Broadcast Live to YouTube mode under the camera. Haven't had a chance to see what else is new. I quickly tried to add my PNC debit card to Samsung Pay, but it failed. Hopefully...

    64GB S6 Active

    Now I wish that had been an option when the Active first came out.

    Guess I'm going to leave AT&T if we don't get 5.1.1 by the end of the month.

    Let us know if Samsung Pay on the Active supports MST. Otherwise I will probably just stick with Android Pay. Are there any other advantages to Samsung over Android Pay?

    You can force it to check for updates if you move your clock ahead by at least 24 hours. Just take it out of automatic time set and adjust the date. The update will also be pushed, but I'm impatient to check :)

    Why won't my Galaxy S6 active let me download Facebook?

    Re: Why won't my galaxy s6 active let me download facebook? Apparently Facebook made the Nov 11 version of the app incompatible with the s6 active on purpose. The app has issues and they are aware of it. To prevent people from downloading it and giving them bad reviews, they juat chose to limit...

    Why won't my Galaxy S6 active let me download Facebook?

    Re: Why won't my galaxy s6 active let me download facebook? Ok so Android Central is crashing when I attach a photo, but yea the Facebook in the app store says "Your device isn't compatible with this version" The version is from Nov 11. I still have FB instants, but it doesn't really work...
