    Why isn't my Samsung S7 theme working with text messages?

    It will usually only change the stock messaging app. I use Chomp and it will not change that. I usually take a screenshot of the new theme's home screen, resize it, and use it as my background photo on Chomp. That way, my Chomp app matches my new theme. Its a little time consuming but works...

    Good mail app for Yahoo mail

    I too tried the Gmail app for other email accounts and found that it would not send/forward messages on occasions. I ended up using myMail, which has a very similar look and feel to that of the new Gmail. I have not had any issues with myMail; I currently run 5 email accounts with it.

    earphone problem

    The S5 is warranted for 1 year through the manufacturer. My wife just had hers (7 months old) replaced through Verizon. All we paid for was the overnight shipping. I am having the same problem with only the left channel active through the earphones, so I might be returning mine soon. :)

    After having an argument on the phone with Verizon tech support regarding the water resistance of the S5 (She was claiming that if there is water damage, the warranty is void), I went in the Verizon store Wednesday and, having had this problem on several occasions, I asked again about it. The...

    Locking screen during call

    Does anyone know of any way to "lock" the main screen during a phone call? My wife's S5 screen changes to a clock or other application while she is talking on the phone. I believe her cheek may be hitting the screen. The sensitivity setting is down. I am trying to find a setting to lock the...

    Gmail 5.0 or Samsung stock email?

    Just my two cents.....I've tried several different multiple email clients and am currently using "myMail". Its very user friendly.
