Very comfortable to wear. I get lots of compliments on it. The pins are custom and make it easy to change the band without...

    Android 9 Issues

    How is the Android 9 update working for others? I'm seeing some quirks on my XI+. One issue is that my hotspot tethering will no longer work with my Roku. This corresponds directly to after the update. Before the update I tethered it all the time. Now it connects but it will not connect to the...

    How do you remove the installed Email?

    Re: Can you remove the default Email app? Install Outlook on your phone and add your email accounts on it. If you cannot remove accounts from the default app, you can mute them.

    Use different texting app

    Great tip. Did not know that. Unfortunately the app is not there. It seems, according to other threads, that the messages watch app only shows if it's paired to a Samsung phone. I haven't found another watch app that serves that purpose.

    Use different texting app

    Yes, that I have done. It does not solve the main problem of not having a texting app on my watch. One can respond, but not initiate. And, the alerts see to be not 100%.

    Media Audio only not connecting to Car (Headphones Fine)

    I have the same problem. I have a T-Mobile S7. It just updated this week with all the latest from T-Mobile. All other stuff is up to date. What I have discovered is that the Media Audio disconnects, but the phone audio does not. When I go into connected device settings, it shows the Call Audio...

    Media Controller for Gear S3?

    Thank you for the prodding to dig deeper. There is an icon on music player that changes from a watch to a phone when tapped. That switches the control to a true media player. Works great.

    Media Controller for Gear S3?

    It appears to me that one cannot control general media on one's phone from one's Gear S3 watch. I've searched for apps and found none. This would be to control things like Google Music, Amazon Music, podcast players, etc. My old Neo had this ability. Am I missing something? Is there an app...

    Minor update for Verizon S5?

    I waited to update my phone and finally did on Friday (fearing the worst based on past update experiences). I did not do a factory reset before or after. It is too big of a pain to reload and reset all my many apps. Over the weekend I got MUCH better battery time and feel that the phone stayed...

    Galaxy S5 Bluetooth Streaming

    Likely, your car stereo does not support media streaming. Only very recently have car manufacturers included media streaming over bluetooth in their stereos. Look at your car manual or stereo manual if it is aftermarket.

    Heat Dissipating / Cooling Case

    As many, many others have posted, my S5 gets hot. Is there a case that dissipates heat well? I saw one that has air cooling channels, but can't seem to find it again on Amazon. It would be great if it also was good at protecting. My current case has more than it's share of dings from inadvertent...
