    Samsung Health not updating on galaxy watch since latest UI version

    Same issue with health. As far as the weather and such i had the issue but they installed by going into the store and accepting all terms then updating. Didn’t fix the health issue as it’s a separate app

    I have a specific battery drain question (not the usual)

    Thank you. I have another issue. I keep getting this message below. It has only worked 2 times out of 100 tries. I suspect it has to do with the way bluetooth, wifi, and mobile all work together. I’ve reset the watch and deleted and redownloaded the app. It’s not either, it’s a connection...

    I have a specific battery drain question (not the usual)

    Due to horrible battery life I’ve reset my s3 Frontier LTE and not added anything to it. Bone stock. Also, turned mobile networks off completely and use no cellular. I’ve done the typical turn everything off (s-health, watch always on, etc) so nothing is backgrounding. I can take the watch...

    Question about launchers on the note 8

    Did you read my reason? I have an 8 plus, and i do like the way it works. I have a note 8 and love the phone, but can't stand TouchWiz. In an "anything but TouchWiz" situation I'd obviously go with the first thing ilike. Then whatever else works. Any launcher that works properly and isn't...

    Question about launchers on the note 8

    Before i set up my new replacement note i'd like to find a launcher or theme that mimics the iphone ios. I have several themes that are kinda close from samsung themes, but nothing really decent. A launcher would be best as it would handle the entire skinning and actions. I've seen fake android...

    Note 8 in poor cell service areas

    My iphone 8 plus gets noticeably better service than my note 8. Also, my fiancé iphone 7 plus generally has 2 bars when my note 8 drops out. She usually gets to surf the internet while we are waiting at a place that i can't get service. I've tried rebooting to catch another tower to no avail. I...

    I killed my note 8

    Both my note 7 and the note 8 i bought new have stamped country and numbers. This new one is painted numbers and the country can’t be read with bare eyes. While the note 7 stylus was vietnam, and note 8 was china, that’s irrelevant just noting the quality issue. It works properly so I’m not...

    I killed my note 8

    Ahhhh it’s only new once. :). So the new phone is as expected, but i have an issue with the stylus. I swear it looks fake. I have owned a LOT of notes and i have a couple of my note 7 stylus and note 8 stylus side by side. The new one is the only one that has a foggy finish, cannot read the...

    I killed my note 8

    I couldn't find a supplier cheaper for a new screen so I paid the rape charge from the insurance (assurant) and it's scheduled to be here within 24 hours (2pm friday). On another "note" I've been using the tweed incipio case for a year and it wasn't cheap, but I think I'm going to try an...

    Unable to Block Phone Numbers - Fixed!

    My problem was different. I was able to block the number, but it would still be able to leave a voicemail. The same annoying number every day would cause me to have to go clear my messages. I called tmobile and told them to cut the voicemail box off entirely.

    Most expensive place around here.

    I killed my note 8

    What is most annoying is that my eyes don’t see a massive difference in the retina lcd and the oled screen but my wallet see’s $22 for the iPhone 8 plus versus $250 for the Note 8. They did a phenomenal job on the iPhone 8 plus Retina which has 401p and a higher contrast ratio than previous...

    I killed my note 8

    Well it had to happen eventually. I’ve looked around and $130 used with SBI on ebay is the best i can find. I don’t want to pay that for an imperfect screen, already got that. My insurance deductible is $250 and for a previous generation screen that’s way too much. If it were a note 9, maybe...

    How big a problem is LCD burn/shadow on Note 8?

    It’s ridiculous. Within 5 months the screen burn in on my note was showing. I am fastidious about never being in the same place for long and i turn my phone off if I’ll be reading a page and have to get up to walk across the room and back. If I’m not using it, it’s not on. I don’t watch YouTube...
