Nope. This happened many times and it's impossible to be that clumsy/stupid over and over. I always check to make sure it's on, and you can't reset the usage pattern if it's not on.

I have searched and couldn't find the answer to this problem. It might have started with the recent updates. The adaptive brightness would suddenly stop working, and the screen would be very bright--almost maximum brightness, no matter how dark the environment is. Rest usage patterns doesn't fix...

Can you elaborate on how you do this? Just tell Bixby to lower the screen brightness?

I tried that and it didn't change anything.

I've noticed that with the automatic brightness on for the screen, it never reaches to the lowest setting on the slider, even if the phone is in complete darkness. This results in the screen being too bright in dark situations. I'd have to manually move the slider all the way to the left to get...

I just got a PM asking me about what GPS apps I ended up settling on, and I'm posting my reply here too in case it might help some people in making their decisions:

For those of you who do plug your hardware keyboards into Android mobile devices (using OTG adapter), have you noticed that some keyboard shortcuts for text navigation/editing don't work properly? I'm finding that's the case on my Galaxy Note 3, and I've tried with three different keyboards...

I contacted ting's customer support (my carrier, and they use Sprint's network), and this was the answer given: "Thanks for writing to us about this, and I apologize about the delay in response! Given what you've explained about the calls bouncing, I think we may need to take a look at the...

Really? That is SO odd. I've set a lock screen to see it it'll work for me. Thanks for tip--I hope it works. Anyone else have the same problem and fixed it with the lock screen (or any other solutions)?

Recently, I've been having problem with some calls. They would bounces after half a ring, and then go to voice mail. It happens regardless if I have block mode turned on or off (my block mode is only set for my night-time sleep hours anyway, so it shouldn't be blocking calls during the day). I...

Business Calendar/Tasks + GNotes for me is far superior to Remember the Milk + Evernote. I have tried to warm up to both a few times over the years and I never could--they just don't have the features I need, or have the ergonomics I prefer.

Sorry, I don't have it anymore--I deleted it after I decided on the apps to get.

I thought I'd update on my situation regarding the Note 3 camera, since it's changed completely. After using it as my exclusive "casual shooter" for about six months, I realized I'm far too demanding to be satisfied with any smartphone camera, even for casual shooting, no matter how advanced...

Why does the email still sync on its own if I have it set to "manual" syncing? It seems I'd have to uncheck the "sync" box completely in email account settings in order for my emails to stop syncing on its own.

I know that the automatic lowering of audio level is to protect our hearing, but I don't need that feature because I have my speakers and headphones set to proper volume already, and whenever Note 3 lowers my volume when I plug the audio cable in, it just becomes an annoyance. I searched in the...
