OK. Unfortunately, the remote wipe request does not seem to have succeeded, so either the phone is still shut down, or it's been reset. So what I was wondering is if absolutely all data on the phone is wiped when a factory reset is performed (i.e., unless forensic tools are used, and since the...

Hi, My Galaxy S6 was just stolen. I changed all my password, and sent a wipe request on the Android device manager. Now, since my phone was locked with my fingerprint, the thief can only do a hard reset of the phone. After doing that, could they still access data saved on the phone, on the...

Hi, The weirdest thing just happened on my S6: the "mobile data" switch in the swipe-down picker has disappeared! I've rebooted the device, and even deleted the TouchWiz cache and data, but it didn't help. Can anyone help? Thanks! R.

Hi, I understand it is possible to access your Google Play Music library in BubbleUPNP, and make your device a DLNA server to play your music on a DLNA player (e.g. see here). However, I can't see how to do either. Can anyone either correct me or explain how to do it? Thanks! R.

Hi, I'm not very knowledgeable on rooting, so I wanted to check whether rooting my S5 with the CF-Auto-Root image would prevent future updates on my device, in particular the Lollipop update that Samsung is deploying. Will it still work in Kies or from the phone software updates? Thanks! R.

Re: Disabling Gmail phone notifications for a label Thanks! That worked. Unfortunately, messages no longer show up in the Primary folder, but I guess it's a good compromise.

Disabling Gmail phone notifications for a label Hi, I'd like to disable notifications on my Android phone for incoming messages from specific senders. So, I created a label, then a filter to apply this label to messages from these senders. This works fine: all emails from the senders are...

Re: Google Now Weather Notifications gone OK, never mind, they did come back (after an unusually long time, though)! :p

Google Now Weather Notifications gone Hi, I accidentally dismissed weather notifications from Google Now (from Chrome using MightyText) and they haven't reappeared in several hours. Does Google Now stop displaying them after they have been dismised a few times? If so, can I restore them? Or...

Hi, I just bought a Galaxy Trend Lite phone and just set it up. However, the Samsung account sync remains disabled and cannot be activated: Does anybody know why and how to fix it? Thanks!

It seems that it can be done with Tasker: Automatically Toggle ‘High Accuracy’ Location Mode on Android | Colin Sullender I'm also trying to get that toggle triggered by an NFC tag in my car.

Does anyone know an app that can help quickly switching between location modes? I often need the High Accuracy mode for navigation, but would rather be able to quickly go back to Battery Saving any other time. A widget switch would be very helpful. There's a stock widget in KitKat, but Samsung...

I've tried with an Ext4-formated card, and it wasn't even recognize. I'll have to try again with Ext2.

I've been reading very carefully this article explaining the new policy on SD card access. Does this imply that permissions will work as described if I format my external SD card in Ext? I.e. would, e.g. ES File Explorer be able to handle files and subfolders in folders it created? I wouldn't...

Mmmh, I can't find this widget on my Galaxy S5...
