No change. Any other ideas?

Does anyone know how to make the notification shade more legible? I find the all-white with invisible delineation lines very difficult to read. Any suggestions? Thanks.

According to CNET, "Samsung tells CNET the replacement phones are ready for you" but they are waiting for CPSC approval, for which there is no know timeframe other than "It seems reasonable to assume that the CPSC will quickly approve these solutions, instead of risking people holding onto...

This is one I am happy to be wrong about :)

As usual, technical information from Verizon is somewhat suspect. It appears that as long as both are on 4G, it should be ok. I suspect that when you called home, you were ok because the connection wasn't completed. But I could easily be wrong. I do know that there are occasions where I get...

According to Verizon, you can only use voice and data simultaneously if whoever you are on the call with is also using HD Calling.

The Auto setting doesn't do it for me. It's fine when I'm inside, but when I'm outside, especially in a moving car, especially at dusk, it cannot keep up with the ambient lighting changes. Also, it would be really nice if you could set auto to keep a constant relative brightness as opposed to...

Is there a way to change the position of the brightness slider. On the Note 4; on the Note 7 is buried in the second pull down menu. Any way to move it?

Anyone?

Try K-9. Works for me. Sent from my SCH-I545 using AC Forums mobile app

One of the advantages of the stock keyboard over SwiftKeys is the added row for numerals. Otherwise, SwiftKeys is great.

Anybody know how to set the period of time an email is kept on the phone? This setting changed in the last week on my S4 and I can't find out why. Up until recently, I could read an email either on the phone or my PC and it would stay on the phone for 30 or more days. I could swear there was a...
