    Torn between S6 Edge+ and S7

    1. Dammit stop making me want the S6E+ even more! :-\ No but seriously, great review, thanks! I'm glad the battery performance has turned out well for the device, despite the smaller capacity. It's been one of my gripes with my phones- I could just barely make it through a day with moderate...

    Torn between S6 Edge+ and S7

    I know it's too early to tell exactly what Samsung has in store for us when their next release cycle comes around, but I was wondering if there are others here who are holding off on getting the S6 Edge+ until they get more leaks on what the S7 could be like? The S6E+ is a great device, but I...

    Note 4 and battery - third-party options do I have?

    Re: note 4 and battery Hey, same here. I've been looking for other battery options and haven't found one yet that I liked. Zerolemon is great, but it makes the phone too bulky for me. Hyperion was my next choice but can't get it either. Try searching on Amazon, there are some that offer...

    Low Benchmark

    Huh, I used to do it on my previous device everytime there was a software update and it's always improved performance. But after clearing the cache I actually got slightly lower scores (tested 3x before and after). Dropped about 50-70 points average

    Sudoku App that uses S-Pen?

    Some of the older sudoku apps with handwriting/pen integration like Sudoku for Galaxy Note and Skinz Sudoku for Galaxy Note aren't compatible with the note 4 :( But here are a couple of newer ones that work...

    Sudoku App that uses S-Pen?

    Found 2 with pen integration but one can't be downloaded for the note 4 and the other one doesn't work right...

    Launchers

    Widgets for Action Memo and My Places.. I use both all the time so they're the only thing keeping me from using a launcher like I did with my S3

    Screen won't rotate

    Your phone's accelerometer might have been damaged, the sensor that checks the tilt and orientation. Key in *#0*# in your dialer and test your accelerometer under Sensor. The y-angle value should be around 90 and the x-angle value around 0 when you're holding the phone exactly upright, and the...

    Coolest features you discovered after buying your Note 4

    Nice one! I've only ever used the vertical controls in the stock video app - swiping up or down on the left side adjusts brightness while doing it on the right adjusts volume. Should've known there would also be something for horizontal swipes.

    Coolest features you discovered after buying your Note 4

    There seems to be a few differences with what I'm seeing. I suppose some carriers also make changes to the notification panel? Here's mine: It has Car mode, Download booster, Mobile Data, Mobile hotspot in there but lacks S Finder and Quick connect which is placed in the main notification...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 com.facebook.appmanager ????????????

    Re: com.facebook.appmanager ???????????? Apparently it makes sure the facebook app can run even when disabled so that it can perform auto updates and other functions.. Sucks, I know..You may need root access to remove it..

    Samsung Gear Circle

    I've been waiting for this to come out for weeks but was kinda disappointed with the neck guide that you attach the Gear Circle to. The material looks cheap and doesn't go well with the rest of the Circle's design IMO. Probably why they rarely, if ever, showed it in any of their promotional...

    Icon Packs/Themes on Stock Launcher

    Yeah I guess they did. I had to download the apk somewhere else, but the app didn't work on my icons. I'm using Icon Changer to swap out icons; it also allows a little customization in their design. But the app you linked helped, much more efficient in testing multiple icon packs. Thanks...

    What color did you get your Note 4?

    WHITE. Took these photos shortly after I got mine. My last couple of phones were black/dark-colored and decided it was time for a change. I also like how the white complements the wallpaper and the UI. One of my initial concerns was watching videos and gaming with the white bezel but...
