Thought I would post an update to the setup I used during the 30K trail marathon. The solution was immediate, cheap and effective.

When my Note 5 upgraded to Marshmallow Package Disabler Pro stopped working. That turned out to be a blessing leading me to discover something even better: EZ Package Disabler that works the same but with a much better and faster user interface. Each item has a description of what the...

The SYNC mobile app has an integrated QR code reader.

SYNC is unbelievably simple and straightforward that I, like you, over thought things more than once. Being a techy I tried tweaking the Power User Preferences and made a mess of it. I was trying to make Sync to work faster than instant, and I ended up needing a reinstall it in order to start...

Thanks!

That's right. You can use any device name you want and it works. When it comes to folder names, you can set up multiple folders for different uses or just one folder where everything goes into.

Yes. Before discovering SYNC I used AirDroid then switched to AirMore including half a dozen others that I evaluated but didn't last 5 minutes. I stopped using AirDroid and AirMore because 1) they were overkill and unnecessarily complex for my simple needs 2) both blue-screened my desktop...

Does anyone happen to know if the camera housing is sealed or at least tight enough to not let moisture seep in? I'm going to be running a 30K trail marathon and the Note 5 is going to be my only camera during the entire event. As a precaution against moisture (sweat, maybe rain too), the Note...

You're welcome! Now, you no longer have to email that one photo to yourself just to get it transferred to your desktop.

Every now and then someone asks what's the best way to transfer files, documents, photos from their phone to their desktop PC (this one works both ways). My definition of best means no cables, few screen taps and over Wi-Fi. I walk into the room where the PC is running, I want to quickly...

Garmin Fenix 3 HR (Sapphire) + Note 5

Yes and No. Yes to having "Back up my data" and "Automatic Restore" enabled but No, nothing was restored when I signed in on the working Note5. I have seen automatic restore work before but this time nothing. I waited about 15 minutes (maybe it needed longer time) and there was no restore...

Unfortunately it's too late. Screen completely bled to death within 24 hours and I can't find a way to power it down. I don't want the battery to drain to zero if I can help it. Oops, that's too late too.

My Note5 has a developed a severe screen problem and while I am still able to (but barely) use the phone, I wanted to find out if there's a way to quickly clone my phone on to another Note5?

I finally found the Android service I shouldn't have disabled that is responsible for the persistent error flag. It's CaptivePortalLogin. As soon as it's enabled Wi-Fi locations that require signing in worked correctly. Hope this helps someone.
