    New update

    Some other stuff I noticed in the update for Verizon. The default SMS app from Samsung sizes pictures appropriately in preview (in the past, it would sometimes show a zoomed in preview before tapping to view). SMS app also has option to make the font size what the system font size is or not...

    GIF Animation now working in Note 5

    Tried the GIF create on one of my videos and turned out perfect. Unfortunate that it's limited to 15 seconds but it's a useful niche. (I know the aspect ratio is bad, but this was just to see if it even worked as intended)

    Media Server killing battery

    Media server "went rogue" on me a few days ago too. To the point where I had the screen on for an hour doing stuff and it was still using more battery than the screen. Didn't figure out what media file may have been/become bad but this site is helpful on resolving it if it keeps happening. Fix...

    Return of the No SIM error

    This started happening again last evening on my Verizon Note 5. The patch from months back fixed it for me but now it's returned and I've had to re-seat the SIM card twice. Always in a case so it's near impossible for the tray to even move. Any other Verizon users getting the error again...

    YouTube app causing constant restarts after June security patch

    As the title says, I'm having significant problems with the YouTube app on my Verizon Note 5 after the June security patch was applied. I'm currently on a trial with YouTube Red and when I try to download a video, the phone will restart within 30 seconds of resuming the download. This is a...

    Note 5 WiFi calling disconnecting

    I have the same problem. I've never had wifi calling work successfully with my Verizon Note 5 either. Posted via the Android Central App

    Spare Charging Dock

    Samsung has an awful track record of accessories coming out within a reasonable time. I haven't seen anything yet either. I dread the day I somehow lose it. Posted via Android Central App

    Automatic camera/video transfer to phone stuck at 0%

    I cannot find a way to fix this. I have it set to automatically transfer all pictures and videos taken with Gear 2 to my Note 3. I've rebooted phone and the Gear 2 and also disconnected and reconnected within the Gear Manager. Still stuck at 0%. This has been stuck this way for a day now...

    Renaming the Gear 2

    I did it in the original Galaxy Gear but for some reason cannot find the option after the new update to Gear Manager and getting the Gear 2. Any idea? Posted via Android Central App

    How's your wifi connection on Note 3?

    Mine has been absolutely horrible at home. Thankfully I figured out how to disable the auto-switching between networks because it kept thinking it's unstable. Now the problem I continue having, which no other device connected to it has this issue, is that it just randomly loses connection and...

    Note 3: Best Buy model had black SMS app.... where is it in settings?!!

    Re: Best Buy model had black SMS app.... where is it in settings?!! That drives me nuts knowing that. I asked here a few days back and couldn't find an answer to change it. I hate the white background in the main Messaging area and on the dialer menu. Posted via Android Central App

    Pre-ordered? Get yo money!!

    That's an extremely Illogical idea for a "discount". Did you try another rep? Posted via Android Central App

    Note 3 would have been better if......

    I hope the next iteration of the Note does this. It's the little things that add up. If the camera had OIS and better low-light capabilities, I'd be set. Just about everything on the N3 is fine. Yeah, bigger battery would be great but don't want to sacrifice it with a thicker device. Leave it to...

    Don't drop your Note 3!! Where are the cases?

    That's the one thing I always notice about Samsung. Release awesome flagship phones, show off a bunch of accessories when unveiling said phone, and then take absolutely ages to get those accessories out. Posted via Android Central App

    Galaxy gear smart watch worth it?

    I'm enjoying mine so far. Difficult to say $299 worthy. $199 seems more of a sweet spot unless they greatly increase the number of compatible apps. I have no issues with battery life. I turned off the motion sensing to wake it up. Button only is fine for me and battery could last days easily...
