    Note 4 Camera/Focus Problem

    I had this same focusing problem and tried changing the focus mode to SPOT with mixed results...sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. I discovered that when I enabled HDR the problem frequently returned, and later discovered that the HDR mode seems to disable SPOT focusing. So, if the...

    Camera won't focus

    I recently had the same problem with my Galaxy Note 4, and was ready to have it repaired. But, while cleaning the screen with a lens cleaner I also wiped the camera lens.......and INSTANT CURE. While previously I'd wiped the lens with only a damp cloth and it looked clean, apparently there was a...

    Note 4 power sharing pop up

    I don't think this is a hardware problem, because both my 2 Note 4's just started having this problem on all 4 of my chargers. I solved the problem by spending $1.95 for an app called Package Disabler, which is only for non-rooted Samsung phones. It let's you disable apps and some system files...

    Can't Change Yahoo! Mail Notifications

    Open the Yahoo Mail app and scroll down the list (Inbox, Sent, Trash, etc.). At the bottom of the list (3rd from the bottom) open Mail Settings and you'll see lots of notification options. I have two mailboxes and it gave me the ability to select different options for each.

    Galaxy S3 using mobile network instead of Wifi when available

    Hopefully, this bug will be fixed soon. Until then I've found a pretty good workaround that manually solves the problem. If you go to the Google Play Store and search for the developer CNEVINC you'll find two apps that will instantly toggle between WiFi and Data, or WiFi and Data and No network...

    Galaxy S3 using mobile network instead of Wifi when available

    Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, the "Auto network switch" box is unchecked and the ONLY way it will connect to WiFi is if the "Mobile data" box on the"Data usage" page is unchecked. Once this box is unchecked the phone immediately connects to WiFi. If the box is checked the phone...

    Galaxy S3 using mobile network instead of Wifi when available

    Mike - We began having this exact problem with ONE of our two ATT S3 phones after updating to version 4.3. Like you, I keep my data plan enabled so that when I leave my WiFi area it automatically switches to my 4g data plan. When I re-enter a WiFi area it automatically switches back to WiFi. My...

    Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan?

    Thanks for the comeback. Your experience echoes the previous two comments, so now I won't feel guilty or greedy about making that post-activation request. Again, thanks.

    Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan?

    Thanks for your response, it's appreciated. I'll be activating the 2 phones on Xmas morning, which I understand is an automated procedure, so I'll call them shortly afterward.

    Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan?

    How did you get the activation fee waived, did you ask or was it just offered? I'll be activating two S3 on Xmas and saving the $72 would be a nice present. Thanks

    Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan?

    Earlier today I ordered 2 Galaxy S3 phones from Best Buy's online store and chose the AT&T "Keep existing plan" option, to keep my unlimited data plan. Within 5 minutes I received 2 emails asking me to call them, because there was a problem with my orders. The lady explained that I couldn't...
