You can set security when someone exits the pinned application but the problem is when the person fails the lock code/pattern, instead of putting them back into the app it just sits at the lock screen.

That's a great suggestion which looks perfect except frustratingly you can't seem to auto start it that way and you can't stop users from unlocking it which is a real shame as when the browser is pinned it does exactly what's needed.

I've been searching up and down the place and getting stuck in either free apps with issues or fancy enterprise apps that do far more than needed. I'm looking to lock down a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 tablet so that it can only run Chrome and nothing else, no access to other apps nor access to...

Note 4 owner here and can confirm Samsung phones 'don't just slow down after a while'. The Note 4's V6 update was not a good one and didn't run well on the phone but that's different to 'just slowing down' and my Note 8's performance is as good as when it started, perhaps in a few years when it...

I've seen a lot of positive comments about TW on the Note 8 which I tried initially but I find it's inflexible for the icon layout, ever since the Z Ultra I liked to have a seven icon dock and 6x6 in the main app area. With the Note 8 being taller I've changed that to 8 high plus I like the...

The simple answer is the V30 doesn't knock them out at all, it doesn't really have any headline features to draw attention to itself and doesn't really offer much over the older and cheaper S8 series aside from the Quad DAC. I suspect that has niche appeal in general, for me it's a nice to have...

I was initially quite keen on the V30 but lost all interest in it, the price is extremely high for the specs and it's only available here from a retailer who likely won't discount it nor is it one I want to buy from. It looks a solid phone but for the same price I can get a Note 8 which has the...

This is an interesting discussion as I've been wondering how much difference there is in quality on using a streaming service like Spotify on the V20/V30 compared to my Note 4. The consensus here seems to be there isn't a difference and that you need to have high quality locally stored files...

Same problem here, I went through my profile and turned all notifications off a few weeks back but just received mail again for a new post quote, I've checked the profile and this option is definitely switched off.

It doesn't really matter about it having an advantage over previous models or not and the post I replied to claimed the F1.6 will 'kill it' in low light which unfortunately is not the case when LG have opted to stay with smaller sensors. It's important to understand that you can't take...

My Mum's phone started doing this after an update, I found a solution on XDA which appears to have worked: Apps->Settings->Language and Input->Virtual Keyboard-.>Samsung Keyboard->About Samsung Keyboard (at bottom)->. You should see an update button, press that and it should then download and...

The V30 doesn't gain an advantage from the F1.6 aperture because they've chosen to use a smaller sensor than the Note 8 and others, it's been a weakness on previous LG phones and will likely be the same again. Your resolution example only applies again if you're comparing like for like which is...

The V20 was never sold in the UK (or Europe), from what I can see the LG G6 was $700 in the states and £650 in the UK. Certainly in the UK, £650 for the G6 was way too much against the superior specced S8 at £680. £799 is a lot more than I was expecting for the V30 and with it being CPW, the...

Clove are saying late October although that may not be accurate given CPW are supposed to have exclusivity: https://www.clove.co.uk/lg-v30 LG are in a difficult spot, if they waited until October to announce the V30 they'd have likely lost a ton of V30 sales anyway by people who didn't the LG...

Agreed, I can't see Touchwiz being anywhere near as customisable either. I started using Nova on my Note 4 because I was running a custom DPI which breaks the Samsung launcher but was impressed that I could customise so much of the interface particularly when the Samsung options were poor.
