    [Please HELP!!!]Phone boots but freezes soon after and crashes

    Re: Phone boots but freezes soon after and crashes Sounds like a hardware defect. Maybe the logic board. You should be able to take it back to where you bought it if it's still under warranty if you bought it new.

    Get the s7 edge or wait...

I wondered into a phone shop to check out the new Sony Xperia XZ and X Compact as I am due for an upgrade. Really wanted the Note 7 but once I had the S7 Edge in my hands, I thought that I'm...

    When are they going to make the next version of the Nexus 7?

    I have a Nexus 7 2013 which is running fine. Not had the Marshmallow update yet. Still on 5.1.1 for now. Love my tablet! Like the size. Thought about getting a Nexus 9 but it's not as portable as my Nexus 7. The screen is still a lovely thing and still holds up to similar priced tablets that are...

    Is it now time for a phone powered desktop?

    I like that convergence idea. I'm sure there's people at Google looking at integration of Android and Chrome OS 😊👍✌ Sent from my SM-G901F using Tapatalk

    Is there a way to turn off the notification pop up that takes up like 1/4 of the screen?

    You can tailor which app show notifications in the Sounds and Notifications settings option and then selecting App Notifications. From there you can block an app or set it to priority notifications. Hope that helps. Good luck 😉✌ Sent from my SM-G901F using Tapatalk

    Need fix for the Countdown to reset wrong PIN , 1 try left, can I get some help with this?

    Re: Need fix for the "Countdown to reset wrong PIN , 1 try left Why not use the fingerprint scanner? It's not Samsung's fault if someone handed your phone to your grandson and he tried to guess your phone. This is what happens when you secure your phone with a pin or even with the...

    No. It will reinstall Lollipop. But it will be a clean install. When updating from KitKat to Lollipop, there are some fills that get messed up in the System cache. It takes a while to do but it should be worth it. The only way to get back to KitKat is to download and flash it to your phone via a...
