    Forgot unlock pattern, options?

    Hey all, I have an Asus Nexus 7 (2013) which I believe has Android 6. I set an unlock pattern and can't remember it. I've tried over 20 wrong patterns and I do not get the option forgot pattern. I also changed my Wi-Fi network name since I last used the device so it no longer has Wi-Fi...

    I had the icons for my sms chats (phone contacts) showing their Facebook profile pictures, and after clearing the messenger app's data from my phone, the pictures are gone and replaced with the contact's initials. How do I get my sms chats to show their Facebook profile pictures again? If I...

    Device maintenance, what does it delete for storage?

    ok, thanks.. i'm assuming the Fix Now/Optimize actions do not touch personal data like pictures, music, videos, documents etc?

    app windows keep closing randomly??

    This happened to me again- I had a couple of Chrome windows open, Instagram and the email client- I checked something in one of the windows, pressed the Recents key to switch to another window, and all the windows were gone- with the message “no recently used apps”. This can’t be normal, app...

    Media volume changing randomly on its own??

    Completely agree, this happened to me again recently; I barely noticed because the volume drop was subtle, but regardless- this isn’t just annoying, it’s potentially dangerous (ie, hearing loss). I’ve had this happen multiple times when the volume has gone up to the max, and I was scrambling to...

    S Planner reminder settings gone?

    I just wish there was some kind of warning/FYI message when switching modes to let you know that a bunch of stuff is going to get changed, instead of just making the changes and giving the user no heads up at all... again, thanks Samsung.

    S Planner reminder settings gone?

    I've been on standard mode since my last post, and I quickly started to notice how much functionality the easy mode strips out- there are many more options available in almost every app I use now (including s planner), not to mention the home screen is way more customizable. If you want more...
