    Wireless Charging Benefits?

    The wireless charging construct goes back to the days of the Palm Pre and the idea was that you'd have a charging dock in places that you'd normally put your phone down (night stand, car cubby/dock, and on your desk at work.) I don't know about anyone else, but I have a charger in all those...

    Best Galaxy Note 4 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

    Hey has anyone tried the Otterbox Alpha Glass? At 28 bucks (on sale), it's pretty steep to buy one just to try it out. But if it solves all our problems...

    Why isn't my Note 4 QI charging working?

    Re: Note 4 QI Charging does not work, help! AT&T did not disable wireless charging. You can use either Qi OR PMA charging back on the Note 4. AT&T only sells the PMA back, so if you want Qi don't try and buy it from AT&T.

    Qi Wireless charger today from Samsung direct.

    Hey AT&T folks, just to make you aware, AT&T is selling PMA wireless charging backs (not Qi). They look EXACTLY the same so make sure you know what you're buying. If you want Qi, do not buy from AT&T (as they only sell PMA). Samsung announced that it would support both wireless charging...

    Why isn't my Note 4 QI charging working?

    Re: Note 4 QI Charging does not work, help! There's a pretty good big article about it here. https://www.andrewmunsell.com/blog/fight-for-wireless-power Basically most of android has settled on Qi (meaning Google Nexus devices, LG, Motorola, and Sammy), but Samsung said it would support both...

    Why isn't my Note 4 QI charging working?

    Re: Note 4 QI Charging does not work, help! Yeah you've bought two different standards. You either need to buy the Qi compatible back or buy a PMA charging pad. Sorry.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Google Messenger...Is anyone using it??

    I've switched to Messenger and like the fact that it's consistent across all the other Google apps (material design). What I don't like is that when I made it my default app, I no longer get the lock screen notifications (with a preview)... is anyone else seeing this or do I need to adjust some...

    Still Searching for the Holy Grail...

    Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure the phone will not fit with the added thickness of the charging back.

    Still Searching for the Holy Grail...

    Ok, I just got the thin panictech metal bumper frame from Amazon. THEORY: The idea was that I could get the wireless charging back, a glass screen protector and a metal bumper frame to protect my Note 4 on all sides mainly to preserve the phone for resale or trade-in value. REALITY: NONE of...

    finger scanner

    I have been using the fingerprint scanner as my security exclusively for 2 weeks now. I also have about a 98% success rate on the first swipe. The first thing that most people ignore is that you need to swipe from many different angles. The reason that Samsung wants you to swipe it 10 times is...

    Has anyone tried using Mirror Link in their car?

    That is a shame. Guess I'll wait to see what Subaru decides to do next.

    Has anyone tried using Mirror Link in their car?

    I took my Forrester in for service and got a 2015 loaner, I tried the Mirrorlink and got the same result. Phone said connected but car didn't do anything (app was not lit up). Did your use manual say anything? My only thought was that maybe there was another usb port or some setting that...

    Chromecast Screencasting for the Note4

    Awesome, thanks for pointing this out! Also confirming screen casting ability for my T-Mo note 4. I was expecting to wait for a Google app update, but it looks like they did added support on the backend somehow.
