    What are your favorite cases for the Galaxy S7?

    Ooh!! Mine is military grade, too!! Then again, thinking back in my military career, I drove a desk. So I could elbow my phone onto the resilent tile floor without worry, So what does "military grade" mean to you? Don't buy into BS selling points.

    disappointed in battery life [Samsung Galaxy S7]

    Upon downloading the app I initially checked "disable all bloatware" from the menu. I found there were a few that were disabled I wanted to keep, so I unchecked those as well as some that appeared to be Android specific apps that I might want to keep, so I reenabled them. I had to reenter my...

    Samsung Music App

    I was looking for the same thing myself. I'm guessing that although it's downloadable through Galaxy Apps, since Samsung chose not to include it in this iteration, it's ultimately going away, so I have bowed before the Google Play Music giant and have moved my music there.

    disappointed in battery life [Samsung Galaxy S7]

    I'm not sure how much of an impact Knox has on battery life, but I have disabled it and other bloatware using Package Uninstaller Pro. I'm looking at 16 hours battery life today.

    What are your favorite cases for the Galaxy S7?

    While I usually rock my phones naked, given this is the first aluminum/glass phone I've had, I chose to give it a bit of shock resistance. One the black S7, I think the Spigen Rugged Armor case (black) is the sexiest case I've seen on a black phone.

    Should I?

    I really can't answer this question intelligently unless I know what your are looking for in your daily driver. How important is the S-Pen feature? Does more screen real estate turn you on? Are you compelled to shower with your phone? How important is battery life? Expandable storage? You...

    What microSD card are you buying for your S7?

    Correction: Mine is a SanDisk Extreme 64GB Class 10 U3.

    SD card unmounting/ejecting all on its own

    Yep. Same issue here with the SanDisk Extreme 64GB Class 10 U3. I've only seen the notification pop up when I power up the phone. It swipes away easily. There appears to be no issue with reading the card because I can take photos and they store to the card and I can easily read them on the...

    What microSD card are you buying for your S7?

    Ditto. I'm sure I'll never come close to filling it up, as I store everything on the cloud, but it's nice to have the space and speed if I ever need it. Funny, I'm the same way with cars...

    No Mobile Hotspot on AT&T Galaxy S7??!

    Thanks. Just learned the same thing at the AT&T store. My last Galaxies were an S4 and Note 3. I guess they moved it in the subsequent iterations.

    No Mobile Hotspot on AT&T Galaxy S7??!

    Got my S7 Tuesday and went to tether my laptop to it. Guess what! No mobile hotspot app in the app drawer! I thought they might have moved it but after searching the system apps, double checking to see if I didn't disable it when I ran Package Disabler, I'm not finding it anywhere. Chatted...

    Give me reasons not to return my Gear...

    Thanks for the input everyone. My concerns above coupled with the rumblings at CES led me to return my Gear last night. And no, Hustleman, I don't want to be like everyone else. I just want to be like you.

    Give me reasons not to return my Gear...

    Okay...one week left on my return window, and with each passing day and with each retailer I talk to, I'm more tempted to return it. I've learned more about the Pebble, and while it doesn't have all of the bells and whistles the Gear has, it's half the price and does most of what I've come to...
