This happens to me consistently when I sleep in a different room out of range from my watch that is charging over night. The next morning it never connects again...

    Heart rate not working

    I haven't gotten it to work in the last dozen attempts, so I think either my skin is impenetrable or it doesn't work. Oh well not an important feature for me. Posted via Android Central App

    Heart rate not working

    Anyone having problems with the heart rate monitor? I got it too work a couple of times but generally it doesn't work. I see the green laser coming out of the holes.

    Same question. I got it too. I installed it, but I don't notice any differences. The link to change notes on Verizon's site went no where. Posted via Android Central App

    Security Notice

    After updating to 4.3, at least daily I get a Security Notice notification saying "unauthorized access to a secured area has..." . It then prompts me to download a new security policy which doesn't seem to do anything. Anyone else get this or know how to troubleshoot it? Posted via Android...

    Samsung Galaxy S4 - 4.3 UI Changes?

    If you want that then you can use a non - stock dialer and contacts app. I don't see those options in 4.3. Posted via Android Central App

    Anyway to ignore a call?

    On my previous phone I could either answer, send a call to voicemail or ignore. Ignoring would silence the call and return you to what you were doing. It is handy when busy and not letting the caller know that you don't want to talk to them. Anyway to do this?

    google map and multi tasking

    Yes I have had the exact same problems many times. A few times I could get back to the navigation but often I lose the map and you just get the voice instructions. I am going to go back to the old version. I see no advantage in this update. Not sure how to go back though.
