Interesting... I never thought of doing that. Of course it may be a pain having to poke the watch every time I want to see the time.. But on the other hand, I can see it making the battery last a lot longer.. I'll give it a try.. Thanks.

Now and then, I manage to touch the screen on my Gear inadvertently with my other arm when I'm going about my day. (When crossing arms etc). This sometimes slides the screen off of the watch face to an app screen and sometimes if I bump it again, it will activate an app showing on the screen...

I carry mine in my pants pocket. I don't find it bulky or uncomfortable at all.

The thing is, you may be able to prevent your phone from sending your Wi-Fi router's information to Google. But, others with this service enabled who come within close proximity of your router will be able to capture the info and pass it on to Google anyway. It might be a friend dropping by...

This is a global warming thing..... When they say "unplug the charger", they mean unplug the charger from the wall, not the phone. Wall-warts always draw some power, even when they're not being used. One idle wall-wart only draws a teeny amount of power, but add up every Samsung wall wart...

Thanks all.. I guess I'll try Mr Number.

I've got a Note 4 running under Rogers Cellular in Canada. (The Canadian version of AT&T) I get the odd annoying spam phone call. So, from my phone app screen, I went in to Settings, -> Call Rejection, -> Auto reject mode -> Then I set it to "Auto Reject" numbers. Then, I put the...

I don't know if it's a result of Apple trying to corner the automotive media market or not, but gone down south is correct. Most car radios are 'iPod friendly' and support playing music from iPods (and iPhones & iPads). The majority of car radios don't allow playing music from other devices...

Generally, your carrier (the one that provides your mobile service) supplies the upgrades. They usually have to tailor new Android versions to be compatible with their services and devices. Go to 'Settings' -> About Device -> Software Updates. Once there, tap on 'Update Now'. If there...

I don't have a CDE-W235BT, but I took a quick peek at the specs. It says plug in your iPod or USB stick. If it's like my 2012 Hyundai Factory radio, that's ALL the USB port will recognize... an iDevice or USB stick. My Note 4 (and my previous Note 2) were never recognized. My iPad can...

As MedicD points out... It's the power cube that supports the fast charging not the cable. The cube supplies the standard 5 Volts for normal changing but it can also supply 9 volts for rapid charging. Ordinary USB charger cubes can't supply 9 volts and as such, don't support fast charging.

When it comes to navigation find the Note 4 screen a little small for my liking :) I use a Galaxy 10.1 tablet propped up on my console running the Sygic navigation app. I have the app installed on my tablet and on my Note 4 so I can use the phone as a backup if the tablet should ever fail.

There's a graphic equalizer option in the "Google Play Music" settings. It lets you adjust the treble, bass and mid range frequencies and provides an assortment of 'canned' settings to match your music tastes. Have you tried making adjustments there to improve the sound quality?

Yea, for such a program to be created, it will either be because of demand, or perhaps by someone proficient in Tizen programming who has the same problem I do :) Oh well... I wonder how many others here have had the same thing happen to them (at least once)?
