    Verizon Galaxy S8 Briefing by Flipboard Spam

    I was wondering about this too, because neither "Briefing by Flipboard" nor "Flipboard" show in the apps list or in my apps manager.

    T-Mobile Galaxy S8 Do not disturb function, help please.

    For Gmail, have you gone into the settings for each Gmail account you have and changed the notification sound to silent, and vibration off?

    Post homescreen screenshots taken on your Samsung S8 / S8+

    You can do that with Beautiful Widgets. There's a configuration screen that lets you choose the shortcuts for each part of the widget. So you can choose Clock for the minute and/or second part, your favorite weather app for the weather, etc.

    Post homescreen screenshots taken on your Samsung S8 / S8+

    Stock default theme with the Under the Sea wallpaper I found out about upthread, plus the glassball icon pack. If only I could get rid of the orange color on the Message screen without a custom launcher...

    Why do custom tones not work?

    Why oh why can custom ringtone settings never be transferred from one phone to another. :(

    Registration for "immersive Gear VR experience for $99" - How did it Go

    I have the same problem. Registered through the web page, it says "approved," the buy link doesn't work (after the warning that you should buy right now) and no confirmation email. Something went through because I can't re-register on the app, but who knows what it is.

    Is there any way to restore backup to Galaxy S6?

    I'm really confused. Do you still have your old phone? If not, why don't you at least try to import your contacts into Google before spending money on a new phone?

    Samsung Galaxy S6 So tired of hearing negative reports is anyone happy

    Re: So tired of hearing negative reports us anyone happy I'm very happy so far. I do miss the 360 carousel, and I wish there were more themes in the theme store with simple color schemes. Most of the ones there right now look like an 8 year old girl's birthday party exploded or something...

    Is there any way to restore backup to Galaxy S6?

    Smart Switch absolutely supports Android/Galaxy devices. I used my S4 to restore stuff to my S6 on Wednesday. Install it on both devices, turn on NFC, and hold them back to back. It worked perfectly. Your other very good option (does the S3 have NFC? I don't remember) is Helium, which...

    Flixster and Netflix integration

    On my old phone, I was able to use Flixster successfully to add movies to my Netflix queue. Since I installed it on my S4, I haven't been able to, even though I'm signed into my Netflix account. I tried signing out and back in, but no change. Does anyone have this working successfully on...

    Transfer Everything to 32GB Model

    Helium is great. It's a bit of a thing to set it up if you're not rooted, but once you do get it set up it's easy. The driver on Samsung's site worked for me for the desktop component. (I only wish I could get Helium to work with my Toshiba tablet, but there don't seem to be proper drivers.)
