Hi folks, My daughter comes in this morning and says her security PIN won't work on her S7 Edge (Verizon.) She said it worked this morning, then it suddenly stopped working. She tried enough to lock it for 60 minutes. She can get into the phone, however, since her fingerprints still work. But...

Well, Samsung has released that the black has the best performance, white has by far the best battery life, and gold has the most vivid screen. Choose wisely.

Can this be enforced by corporate IT when running Nine with an Exchange account? I know on some phones they had the ability to set certain security requirements, but not sure about the lock screen. I would also like to change up the screen for here at home - with the tempered glass and size of...

What can I say? I'm a minimalist...

Re: Texting apps not how I want it Yep. Textra does this.

To the best of my knowledge, no. Wireless only supports regular charging. If I'm wrong then I have the wrong charging dock :)

I've had my S6 for a little over a month, and the only thing I'm having trouble adjusting to coming from iOS is the sounds and how they're assigned. Not a major problem, and not affecting my thoughts on the S6 as a whole - I really like it in comparison to the iPhone 6. I'm not a fanatic either...

This. Coming from an iPhone I never messed with screen brightness and just let it handle things. However, I keep my screen brightness on the S6 down to ~10-15% and it's plenty bright for me indoors. The iPhone just got TOO dim. When I'm outside I simply swipe down to quick settings and adjust as...

Thank you! I cruise there pretty often as well. I appreciate the reply.

I want to root my SGS6 but everything I've found says that I can't with my phone. My version doesn't seem to be supported with current methods - I'm running Verizon with a baseband of G920VVRU3BOG5. I've looked here and on XDA - unless there's somewhere I'm missing, it's just not available. Can...

For some reason Textra stopped showing some contact names this morning - only showing numbers. Not all - just some. What could cause this and how do I fix it?

Back in my early Android days I had an app that allowed you to set complex scripts to run based on certain events. Much of the functionality has been incorporated into the OS now, but there's one thing that I can't do - it's basically a secondary DND "lite." I want to set a schedule to silence...

Re: Continually don't receive texts from one person I really don't think any applications were being disparaged, only the SMS technology itself. Yes, it's a terrible system and there needs to be a universal technology (LOOKIN' AT YOU APPLE!) As an aside, I actually had pretty horrible lag...

I had this problem the first night I used my SGS6 and Spotify. The audio would go low for a while and then up loud - I couldn't get it adjusted right. I checked sound settings to see if something obvious stood out and I saw that I had checked SoundAlive+ in the Sound Quality settings. I turned...

My experience so far: This household is totally Apple with the exception of my work computer. I had an iPhone 5s and really liked iOS and the hardware. I moved to Apple when the 4s was introduced, having come from the HTC EVO 4G with Sprint. I hated Sprint and their 4G service area was beyond...
