    Should I upgrade to the V20

    This is what is worrying me. Having done a bit more research I've seen that some V10 users are experiencing similar bootloop problems to the G4 and I'm wondering if the V20 will as well given time.

    Should I upgrade to the V20

    Thanks for the comment. The only real thing stopping me is it is a lot of money and if the V10 lasted me a year or two it might be worth it. It sounds like the V10 has issues though so it's looking as though the V20 is the best option, although I thought that when i bought my G4 about a year ago...

    Should I upgrade to the V20

    I need to get a new phone after experiencing the dreaded bootloop issue with the LG G4 and I'm considering getting a V20, but wanted to ask for advice first. i'm in the UK and the V20 hasn't been released here yet (if it ever will be since I don't think the V10 was either) so I will have to get...

    New V20 User from iPhone

    I don't understand this comment. On the iPhone you can't replace the battery so you are comparing the V20 on the basis of battery life of the existing battery? To me this doesn't make sense. Replacement batteries are cheap and the cost of the V20 and an additional battery is still much cheaper...

    Video not showing on apps like YouTube

    Thanks for the advice. It does seem to be working now after a couple of months not. The Android Webview was up to date. It wasn't working and i did have a couple of updates to completely unrelated apps so something there might have been something there. The only other thing that I did was to...

    Video not showing on apps like YouTube

    Hi, For the past month or two and i suspect since the last major Android update I'm not able to watch YouTube videos. The app works and I can hear the audio, but there is just a black screen. It is happening on other apps too that play video. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone...

    After fall, screen blacks out repeatedly, what do I do??

    I have this happening to me too and I haven't dropped or done anything to my tablet to cause this. In certain apps like Facebook when returning to to home feed from a new feed or video the screen will go blank for a few seconds. YouTube is now unusable as it plays the sound on videos, but no...

    Fingerprint unlock turned off if not used in 24 hours after upgrade to Marshmallow?!!!

    I understand what you are saying, but the whole reason I went for Android is that it gives you options to configure the settings to suit your needs, and although a little hesitant about Samsung, mainly on their update frequency even on flagship models, I still went for it. This has taken...

    Fingerprint unlock turned off if not used in 24 hours after upgrade to Marshmallow?!!!

    You do realise that your ATM card stores the PIN on the card itself? This is how it authenticates. So a criminal with your card can get hold of your PIN quite easily. So it isn't really dual factor authentication. Dual authentication is more secure, but I don't want it on my tablet. I'm not...

    Fingerprint unlock turned off if not used in 24 hours after upgrade to Marshmallow?!!!

    Sorry if I am missing the point here, but I have a device that has been working perfectly for over a year, to me there is nothing more secure than a fingerprint scan, although i do understand 2 point authentication is more secure, but this isn't that. I don't want to sound ungreateful for...

    Fingerprint unlock turned off if not used in 24 hours after upgrade to Marshmallow?!!!

    It isn't two factor authentication though so this is wrong. If someone has my passcode then they can just wait for 24 hours and then access my tablet. If they needed my passcode and my fingerprint i might be more forgiving, but they just need the passcode to get in. I thought the fingerprint...

    Fingerprint unlock turned off if not used in 24 hours after upgrade to Marshmallow?!!!

    Can you please explain to me how a pin, password, or pattern is more secure than my fingerprint? And why this was introduced? Is it in case someone has stolen my tablet, cut off my finger and will use this. If it had been like this when i had bought it I would have returned it. It is so annoying.

    Fingerprint unlock turned off if not used in 24 hours after upgrade to Marshmallow?!!!

    I've recently upgraded to the latest version of Android and thought finally this will be great, as it has been with my phones. But it isn't. I don't use my tablet every day so i was horrified to learn that if not used within 24 hours of last use it turns off the fingerprint scanner and asks you...
