    I presume you mean, swipe down on main screen,>Apps. Knox isn't there. Nor does it show in App Manager.

    Samsung pay doesn't work

    Nothing. As if I held my cash over it.

    Samsung pay doesn't work

    Have a Samsung S8 with Samsung Pay set up. Doesn't work. Tried it at Walmart, Best Buy, Kohl's, Sam's Club, and 2-3 others. Probably a total of 15-20 times. I've tried holding the phone over the card reader, tapping the reader, holding it at the chip reader. Apparently, the card reader...

    Weather update

    Nope. Stuck on May 7. AFAIK, I'm running the OEM weather app on my watch. How does it get info from my phone? I've had the phone since Feb, so a May 7 date means it updated for a while, right?

    Weather update

    This should be easy but I can't find the answer. How do I update the weather on my Gear S2 watch manually?

    connecting to wifi

    Can't find the answer here. My Atrix quit connecting consistently to wifi a few months ago. One wifi network is through an Engenius AP. It connects once every week or two but only until a leave the house, return and it is forced to 'find' the network again. Signal strength is ALWAYS good...

    lighted buttons

    I've searched for the answer and failed. This may be a little difficult since I don't know the lingo. I have an Atrix - I'll get to the Atrix 2 in a minute. At the bottom of the phone are 4 buttons - Menu/Home/Back/Search. These buttons stay lit the entire time the phone screen is lit. Good...

    Contacting GO

    Hope this is the proper place. I have DLd 3-4 Go apps (e.g., Go Contacts). So far, I like the apps. My problem is I have a couple of questions and have emailed Go support 5 times. Have not received the 1st replay. Any ideas how to get a question to them and get a response? I like the apps...

    Mystery tones

    Hope this is the proper place. Every once in a while I will get a tone on my Atrix that, AFAIK, is without cause. I know the ring tones, txt, and email ring tones, but I get a unique tone with no popup messages, no warnings, no indication of any kind what the tone represents. Any way I can...

    passwords on web sites

    Thanks for the replies. One question I didn't ask . . . I'm not worried only about rogue web sites but the dangers some claim of evil-doers sitting in public places and somehow intercepting username/password by some technical magic. Real? Over-hyped?

    passwords on web sites

    Hope this is the proper forum. Didn't find teh answer here on through Google. THis should be but I'm completely confused on net security. Supposed 'experts' on the net are all over the map on how secure android phones are when sending username/password to a web site. Some say to NEVER send...

    Sending received-call notification

    Is there an app that can send received-call notification? Here is what I want. I have 2 phones - one (I'll call phoneA) is with me constantly. If I receive a call on the other phone (phoneB), I want phoneB to send an SMS to phoneA containing callerID info. This doesn't seem like a difficult...

    GoContacts problem

    Thanks for the quick reply. Went to GoContacts>settings>Contacts Account. Two items checked; Phone and Google. Unselected Google. Still have 3 phone #s listed for many contacts. FWIW, if I choose any contact and select Edit, I have 3 listings(?). Google Contact/Google Contact/Motorola...
