    HTML5 websites making my phone vibrate

    I had this happen to me several times in the past and always looked in the permission settings in Android but couldn't find it. Now I see that it's actually in the Chrome's settings. This setting (notification disabled) should be the default for Chrome.. I don't understand why they allow a web...

    How do I remove saved wifi from other locations on my Samsung Galaxy S6?

    There is no such thing as "manage networks". That is the problem. I have a Galaxy S7 Edge with 935U ROM by the way. All stock. Also, the network manager app that people referred to requires root to delete a saved wifi connection. Half of the people seem to not understand the problem here. I...

    Galaxy S7 vs iPhone SE

    I have a S7 Edge and I'm currently using iPhone SE. I got it for less than $100 brand new so I gave it a try. My last iOS was iPad mini 2 and before that was iPod touch 2nd & 4th gen. Normally I wouldn't even look at iOS because I hate the idea of not using a file manager. Anyways to my...

    'Duplicate' pictures in Google Photos

    Happening randomly on my S7 Edge as well. Not only the photos, but the videos are also duplicated and file names end with ......(1).* I have a Verizon S7 Edge with 935U ROM on it, so there's no carrier crap. Initially I thought this was happening because of the app I have called "SyncMe"...

    Galaxy S6 - Phone Lag

    Oh yeah, there's lag. Definitely. My last Apple device I used was iPod Touch 2, but I can see how seamless iPhones are these days. Wife has iPhone 5s and I also saw how fast and smooth iPhone 6+ is. Both those feel very smooth when all three scenarios I mention below. Lag 1. Open camera, take a...

    How can I get my Voicemail icon to go to Voicemail and not Visual Voicemail?

    Re: Voicemail You need to edit the csc features file. You'll need root for that. edit file \system\csc\feature.xml <CscFeature_Contact_EnableVVM>false</CscFeature_Contact_EnableVVM> There's some other junks you can get rid of by editing this file.

    S6 screen lifting up a little on top corners?

    I have the same problem. Actually, I don't think I had this before I sent my device in for repair. I had a problem with the camera sensor and they replaced that and the front screen. Now I see that there's a lifting going on. I don't think this is normal. I don't know whether to send it back or...

    Lets clear things: How much screen on time are you getting on a charge?

    I have AT&T S6 with most crap removed and "OK Google" disabled. I'm getting 2 hours screen on time and left with 30% battery. I think battery life is pretty crappy. The phone heats up too much for tethering with screen off too.

    Lollipop for LG Optimus F3? Is this a scam?

    Of course that's a scam. Those people requiring you to complete offers to download are 100% scam. Also, didn't you notice that you can't leave any comments on the post? It's just more of their scam trying to convince you that it's the real deal. I searched at xda-forums just in case, and there...

    The Note 3 And Lag?

    Yeah, it lags just like any other Samsung Galaxy series phones, but I have a AT&T version. I have 4.4.2 NC2 Kitkat from AT&T. Did factory reset several times now and not rooted (there's no known root). Waking up by pressing power button to see the time, half the time there's 2 second lag...

    Moto x vs note 3

    I had AT&T Note 3 for couple months now and tried unlocked developer edition Moto X for about two weeks. I prefer the Moto X, but had to return it because NFC was not working, and they would only replace it with a like-new-used device. I'm actually waiting for the Moto X2 now. Now here's the...

    Back Microphone Issue (when on Speakerphone)

    I have the exact same problem. This is a warranty replacement. My previous HTC One was working fine. In speakerphone, I have to get very close to the back microphone. Otherwise the other person can't hear me. Did you ever get to fix this problem? I'm wondering if it's a firmware issue or what...

    gaps still present in current batches

    Any updates on this? My HTC One that I bought 4/4/2013 has raised screen only on the upper edge, and recessed black plastic rim right over the sim card area. I don't use a case, but have clear body protectors and screen protector on all times. The low build quality was always bothering me, and...

    Touchstone charging on Nexus S 4G with NFC preserved

    Is it possible that the induction charger will damage the NFC circuit in the long run? Because the magnetic field, there will be some electric generated on that NFC antenna too. This is what I'm worried about. I might just try putting the back cover with NFC on my touchstone once I get it and...
