Given how my A5 has been aside from the updates, think maybe the A8 which is basically an upgrade itself from my current while allowing me to see if I care about some of the newest features only for the S8 & up

https://plus.google.com/+alternativeto/posts/EoKH4AvrmKP?_utm_source=1-2-2 Came upon this article in regards to this. This article alone say's that Google has made a change to the contract. Fine. That is good news! Yet if there is a public deadline it seems that those security patches are moved...

I believe your predicaent is within Facebook itself. I managed to cut the cord some time back now so not sure if this is accuarte now. Under Setting in Facebook itself there used to be a sliding toggle to nullify those annoyances altogether. Now when you have synced you mobile to Facebook, it is...

When it comes to using a Theme, IT takes over control of anything it changed unfortuantely. Wallpapers' & Icon Sets are the same way. They can change just enough code to be functional BUT they are now in control of that item until the coding itself is changed once more. Samsung itself has a...

Unfortunately after talking to some IT's & going through several app's avaialble on Google Play & elsewhere on the market...NOPE. We are led to believe that just because we have Bluetooth, WiFi, SMART Tech, that we can universally connect & go wild now. Depending on the make & model of your...

Unfortuantely not a accurate reply but maybe helpful nonetheless...If at work where are sure of there being coverage on WiFi, could you maybe turn on Airplane Mode & put WiFi back on after so it doesn't try to make use of what I believe is called Smart Switching (ironic :p name) to stop it from...

Here in Canada my Galaxy A5 got a minor security patch late March almost into May. It was unlocked from the carrier I was under contract with & yet every month if I don't see something by mid month, I start looking on Samsung sites & then other places to see if anything was due out. Not sure it...

Given everything Google says' is taken with a grain of salt...in the end it is actually going to come down to a shaming game I think before any company like Samsung or Huwaei or any other pick of device syas' they will do as they are told by Google! After all, look at the Title of this board...

I had a similar issue maybe a month ago with my Galaxy A5 (2017) & after posting through Samsung Members as I couldn't trust my device I was given the suggestion by a Samsung Rep to shut down my phone AFTER doing as complete a backup as I could trust & start with a Cache flush. This involved a...

Given the increase in such attacks on Android period, is it not possible that while it may be "hijacked" to run a Side Install of some form of anti-virus/malware program? Just a General question based on the origin of this post & maybe with some experience can help elaborate for all on my...

I have seen & read many "Official" & "Unofficial" media sources since it was announced that Android was going to go this route. The gist of it is, Depending on your model, Carrier & Country will determine the rough estimated time of arrival for the Oreo Update. Someone in their brilliant wisdom...

THIS sounds a little fishy to me. Not on your part but on the part of this repair place & SUPPOSEDLY Samsung. Unless it was actually at a Samsung Store, I would be looking into this a bit more. How he can speak for Samsung Warranty would be the 1st question. Secondly, a "chip" doesn't sound like...

I believe there is also a Micro USB to HDMI option actually. It is a little black box that connects (in my case) my PC to my tv through the USB port then an open HDMI port on the tv. I live in Canada & am out of the loop now so am not 100% these devices still exist. The last 1 saw when I was...

My wife is big into the torrent scene for movies (why not if can do it cheap & easy) so she is always chasing the best quality, etc. So she found this new 1 & it can be run on PC with windows 7/8/Vista +10 BUT needs an Android Emulator. A Quick search on Google & my head is still reeling!! I not...

Am starting to look at all those fashionably late as being like the Oreo 8 update 😁
