So, perhaps I missed it, but I don't get what the real value is. Bug fixes. Got it. Good stuff. But the other stuff? Amazon Appstore deleted, Android for Work added, and updates to Samsung Knox. Not exactly a huge impact for most users. I see that I can no longer clear my wifi notification...

Great, thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Has anyone upgraded to the 10/8 app? If so, any word either way? Thanks.

Same problem. Note 4 on Verizon. Very frustrating. Rebooting is the only solution I have found thus far. Started about a week or two ago.

I bought a Note 4 about a month ago after getting some hands-on time with it and the S6. It has been fantastic. The screen is incredible and the battery life is outstanding...but I had no idea how outstanding until today. I was at a client location all day in a meeting today. I had my...

What he said. Depending on your carrier, the 32 GB model may actually be closer to a 20-22 GB model. You may not think you need any more space, but are you willing to take that chance and commit to it for 2 years? Unlike previous Galaxy models, you can't expand the memory on this one after...

Same for me. In fact, this is one of the main reasons that I just bought a new Note 4 over an S6 to replace my S3. My wife felt the same way, so she just replaced her S3 with an S5 since she didn't like the size of the Note 4. I swap my battery with a new one every year and do the same for my...

Android Device Manager "Ring Phone" not working New VZ Note 4 with lollipop. Worked fine on my S3. ADM can locate my phone without any issues...and the phone even displays a notification letting me know it has been remotely located. No dice on requesting a ring though. Very frustrating...

The Samsung plan is a fantastic deal. No question. That said, it does not cover theft or loss, which is why I have Asurion on our phones until the 2 year contract runs out. After that, we drop the insurance since we'll deal with any loss or breakage by upgrading. Asurion is definitely more...

Because when I come from home work after it has been off the charger for 11 hours, the battery is still at 85%.

For me, the lack of a removable battery is more of an issue annually than day to day. For as long as I have had a smart phone (starting with a first gen Treo), I have swapped the battery with a new one annually. I have done the same for the last 3 years with my wife's and my S3 since it took...

The 64GB Samsung PRO? Yes, I have two of them...and they work great. The 64GB EVO is also great, but you will see the difference between the PRO and the EVO if you are transferring a large number of files or large files. I just copied 50 GB of video to one of my two 64GB PRO cards and it...

Re: Note 4 and Best Cases I have the same case and it is great in terms of protection and aesthetics, but it sure makes slipping the Note 4 into a pocket more difficult.

I also think it is great that Samsung has stepped up by announcing this battery replacement program, but unless you live near their service center in Los Angeles or Plano, it's not just going to cost $45 or be done in one day...as a prior post states. While Samsung may get the swap done in one...

For many years the prevailing wisdom was that slow charging prolongs battery life by reducing heat during the charging cycle. That position has recently been called into question: Rapid charging and draining doesn’t damage lithium ion battery electrodes as much as thought At the end of the...
