Ahhhh. Helpful but not as helpful as I had hoped. The card I use most is Mastercard which, of course, I can't add to my Visa Checkout profile. Looks like it can't be used on Amazon anyway which is where a lot of purchases happen. Thanks so much for sharing the info though!

I've read a few reviews of the update which say the phone is noticeably slower afterwards. I love my phone and don't need any "improvements". Frankly, the entire practice of forced updates is maddening. We wouldn't accept this practice for any other product we buy -- i.e. someone sneaks into...

Anyone know what file format is required? I edited an MP3 file but when I select it as a ringtone the phone says "file format not supported". Not sure if there is a problem because I saved it as a constant bitrate file or some other setting.

Entering a reminder by voice on Google Now is powerful but when it goes off the sound is small and it only hangs out in the notification bar (and Inbox app). It would be nice if there was a way to make the alert repeat for some period of time so you don't miss it. I've searched Google Play and...

I just switched to Sprint two weeks ago from Verizon so didn't bother to ask this question. As far as I know, simultaneous talk and internet surfing has been possible on Verizon for years. I'm specifically speaking about usage away from Wi-Fi. Thanks for the assistance!

I've got an S7 on Sprint and I've only had it for a few days. Last night at our kids swim meet I took some burst shots which worked great -- in focus consistently. When I touched the photo from the camera app it showed the 8-10 shots taken with a little crown icon over one of the shots in the...

Thanks for the input, folks. I took the plunge and switched my family to Sprint on Saturday. There is now an additional $150 bonus in the form of a credit to your bill, I think on month 2, after signing up. We got buy one get one free on the Galaxy S7 and iPhone 6s. The iPhone is for my daughter...

Anyone know how updates and app downloads actually work in terms of the version of the app that is downloaded? I recently did a factory reset on my Galaxy S5 (no marshmallow yet) and after my apps were installed I was buried under new updates. For some reason I was thinking that the latest...

I've been on Verizon for 10+ years and I know their network is the fastest but I don't necessarily need to able to download an app at 90mb/sec. Reliability and cost are moving towards the top of my list. I live in a suburb of Atlanta so expect most carriers to have good service but would prefer...

I have an S5 from Verizon. The update ran but I didn't have enough space so it failed. I then cleared a lot of memory, did a factory reset, and THEN checked for updates. Phone said it was already updated even though it was still on 5.0. Tried all the other tricks I could find: -moved date...

rqeeb, Verizon phones run on a CDMA network in the US and since that is the model number you have it's safe to assume the phone will not run on GSM. AT&T phones in the US use GSM.

Galaxy S5 on Verizon running lollipop. My phone previously failed the update due to lack of space. I uninstalled a lot of apps to free up about 3.4 GB of space. When I went to check for software updates it said phone was up to date even though it wasn't. I then did a factory reset and checked...

Marshmallow has arrived but I don't have near enough storage space to run the update. I'd like to use Samsung's Smart Switch app to backup everything to the SD card then do a factory reset. When I do the reset though will the phone install the update then or do I need to reset, then run the...

I'm experiencing the same issue. I've got a Galaxy S5 and I've had around 1 gb free for months until a few weeks ago. I suspect one or more of my apps is caching a lot more than it had previously but I'm not sure which one. I use CCleaner once per week but it hasn't been saving much space since...

FINALLY! The 5.0 update hit my Verizon Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 8 today. It was a pain to wait that long after the blizzard of positive press 3 weeks ago but the update is just plain awesome.
