This didn't work. Looking for an app or something that will manage BT devices. Use case: I want a particular bluetooth device to only connect with my phone during certain hours. Right now, I have a Tasker task set up, but it's not really working great. It will shut off the connection at the...

Thanks. As much as I'm ready to move from my Galaxy, I really like to just tap the hardware home button to wake the phone up when I'm at my desk. Wish they had put the fingerprint sensor on the front.

Question about waking it up. Let's say it's sitting on your desk and you want to check the time without picking the phone up. How do you wake it? Nudge it? Hit the power button (where is the power button, anyway)?

I'm running the stock messaging app and was wondering if there was a way to prevent the keyboard from automatically appearing when going to a thread. I've looked for a setting to do this but no luck. I know some 3rd party sms apps don't do this (like GoSMS), but I was hoping I could configure...
