    Using Samsung Pay means I'll have to pull the Note 5 out an extra 827 times per year. (more damage?)

    If you're eating McDonald's every day for breakfast you have bigger things to worry about than dropping your phone. Jk Posted via the Android Central App

    Touch key lights

    To fix this, go to power saving mode and change it so that it's on immediately. After its on, turn it back off. Hopefully that should work. Sometimes when the battery dies completely on this phone it borks the power saving mode so that the capacitive buttons have no feedback. Posted via the...

    With the new lock screen you can swipe up anywhere on the screen to unlock. You don't have to touch that tiny lock icon. Posted via the Android Central App

    Questions from an Apple defector

    Look up an app called "galaxy button lights" to turn off the lights under the back and recent button. You can also adjust the duration. I just have them turned off all the time. They are unnecessary and waste extra battery. I know where they're located and dont need to be reminded. Also if you...

    YouTube app on Dell venue 8 7000

    Just out of curiosity but have you ever played youtube in the browser? Just for kicks try playing the 4k video in a browser and not the app. That for sure will play above 720p (I remember checking when I first got the device). Then go back and check the app. Other than that I don't remember...

    YouTube app on Dell venue 8 7000

    Wow that's odd. I know that Costa Rica video very well and I've played it several times on my Dell in 1440p. Originally it only loaded 720p and then magically last week I noticed I could access the higher resolutions. I don't remember doing anything special. Hmm trying to think what could be...

    YouTube app on Dell venue 8 7000

    Umm did you see who started this thread? Do you think I have nothing better to do than to troll my own thread? Don't be idiotic. Here are some screen shots. As you can clearly see I have 1440p available and I'm running the same version of YouTube. Are you sure you're playing a video uploaded...

    Cases?

    I also picked up the IVSO case. It's much much better than the generic case I bought off amazon earlier. No comparing a case actually made specifically for your tablet versus a generic universal case. The IVSO keeps the tablet still looking slim. The other case made it a fat pig. Lol Posted via...
