    AT&T edge plus marshmellow update?

    I used the info in this thread to download the unreleased OTA update from AT&T and updated my S6 Edge+ to Marshmallow today. I haven't used it a ton since, but everything seems fine. Only downside is that the OTA did Factory Reset my phone, so make sure you backup first. MM Update OTA Version...

    Muzei Problem

    I just received a S6 Edge+ from Swappa and I've noticed a weird problem. With the Muzei Live Wallpaper, if I try to use either the Flickr or the "Folder for Muzei" add-ons, all I get is a blank black screen. Thought it was weird with the Folder one specifically because all it has to do is look...

    What are you using for your launch phrase w/ Moto Assist? (Moto X Pure Edition)

    Mine is "OK Jarvis", which made my wife ask "Why is Jarvis a girl now?" when it spoke back to me. haha

    Ascending Volume for Ringtones and Notifications?

    Re: Speaker Delay I went through 4 or so Nexus 6's, and I had this delay on 2 of them, but not the others. So I'm really wondering if it's a luck-of-the-draw hardware defect with Motorola's speakers, or maybe some kind of audio driver issue. No idea, but it's SO annoying.

    Ascending Volume for Ringtones and Notifications?

    Speaker Delay I know people have lamented "ascending ringtone" on both this phone and the Nexus 6, but my experience with the Pure is that it's more like the speakers go to sleep in between uses. Like, if it's been sitting for a little bit, something as simple and trying to change the...

    Note 5 Battery life thread

    My Old Nemesis, Android System Battery Drain I've had my Note 5 a week and a half now, and the last couple of days I've noticed my old enemy from my Note 4 days has returned... the Android System battery drain. In GSAM and the built in battery meter, it's consistently listed as the top battery...

    Apps randomly popping open when I unlock it

    This has happened to me several times too. Usually it's the app that is in the bottom right-hand corner on my homescreen (not the dock) but a few times it's been apps that I have buried in folders. Very odd.

    Note 5: Slow motion videos

    Lemme just say, I was thrilled to see that Samsung finally did Slo-Mo videos right on the Note 5. (and I guess S6, which I skipped). On all my previous phones with Slo-Mo capability, you couldn't export the video to other services like Instagram in actualy slow motion. Seeing your thread made...

    In-call Contact Pictures

    This is annoying me a bit. I've noticed my last couple of phone calls, that the contact photo being displayed is the small circular version like on your favorites screen. So as a test, I had my wife call me, and while it was ringing, the photo was large, taking half of the screen. When I...

    Don't put your pen in backwards!

    My heart as a gadget fiend does truly hurt for everyone dealing with this, but I've gotta say that I'm absolutely flabbergasted that his appears to be as widespread of a problem as it does. I could understand maybe one or two instances, but it appears to be a huge problem just from perusing the...

    Slickwraps Note 5

    Re: Slickwraps is looking for Note 5 Reviewers I love to try it out! I've been thinking about getting something like that for the Note 5. Never used one before. :-)

    Note 5: Camera Shots! Show us your pictures

    Here's some I took around the house yesterday, of my toy poodle and my Mom's visiting dachshund. All on Auto. I've been pretty impressed in the detail and the low-light results in a dark house with lamps on. https://goo.gl/photos/7PRHWVsDbau9CdD37 https://goo.gl/photos/Doy8dJ6SzQE2v1ZG9...

    Note 5 Battery life thread

    Well, I'm more impressed with the Screen On Time than the total hours. Those screenshots represent near-constant use. Hitting 5 hours SOT with a little left is spare is better than most any other Android phone I've used. My most recent daily drivers were a Note 4, LG G4 and Nexus 6. I often...

    Note 5 Battery life thread

    2nd full charge, still at home. 2 Google accounts and 1 Exchange syncing. Auto brightness. Mixed time on WiFi and on LTE. Still seriously impressed with the phone so far! Tomorrow will be it's first real test, at work with not-stellar signal.
