    In search of a modest upgrade over the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.

    My Note 5 is slowing down and will eventually die. I'm looking to spend as little as possible on a new phone that doesn't have to be greatly superior to the Note 5. Just a marginal improvement is fine for something around $400 or less, preferably new and with ATT (US). I haven't kept track of...

    How can I suppress Samsung Music from automatically playing over Bluetooth in my car?

    For a Note 5. I already have a music application that works well with my car but a recent update now has Samsung's native music app playing my complete song list automatically when I start my car. Worse, I can't even control forward/backward from my steering wheel skip buttons with Samsung...

    Battery drains faster while in the office vs while at home

    That would seem like the best option right now. I don't really use the WiFI at work all that often. Is there a way to schedule WiFi to turn on/off automatically?

    Battery drains faster while in the office vs while at home

    Title says it all. I'm a very light phone user and at the end of a weeknight after work I'll notice that my battery is down to 40-50% while at the end of Saturday or Sunday it's down to around 80%. Practically no difference in usage whatsoever during the week. I just check emails occasionally...

    Volume buttons now control media volume instead of ringtone volume

    Issue is resolved. I did try closing all apps but the issue persisted until I did a restart. Makes no sense as to why a restart worked when all apps being closed didn't.

    Volume buttons now control media volume instead of ringtone volume

    Prior to the Marshmallow update I could adjust my Ringtone using the volume buttons on the side of my Note 5, but now they only control Media volume. Is there a way to change it back to controlling Ringtone volume?

    Minor Issue with Package Disabler Pro Application

    I installed this application and it's been great. My Note 5 now has a slightly better battery life. Before it would die down to 55% at the end of each day, but now it only drops down to around 65-75% at the end of each day. Would recommend to disable much of that bloatware. There is one very...

    keyboard recommendation needed- separate keys for numbers

    I am looking for some recommendations. I need a keyboard that allows me to Swype, but also has the number keys separate from letters (so that I do not need to long press the letter keys to use a number- I use numbers a lot). The default Samsung keyboard has this but the Swype feature randomly...

    Need a recommendation on a PDF reader App

    Searching for a light weight PDF reader that remembers where I left off in a PDF and opens the PDF on that very page. Something that doesn't require much access to the phone would be nice too. Cost is not an issue. So far I came across ezPDF Reader Lite for $0.99 but I'm not sure why it needs...

    Does Swype not work on the Samsung keyboard?

    Awesome. This worked! Now I can select the Swift Key flow option (it's not greyed out). Thanks!

    Any recommendations for a case with a sturdy and high quality kickstand?

    I had a plastic cheapo one in the past for my S4 whick broke after a mere one dozen uses. I wanted to get it right the first time for my new Note 5. Looking for recommendations on something sturdy in terms of a kickstand on a low profile case, if something like that exists. Posted via the...

    Does Swype not work on the Samsung keyboard?

    I too can select Samsung keyboard. It's when I try to select swype under Samsung keyboard, I cannot activate it. "Swiftkey Flow", specifically is greyed out for me. Posted via the Android Central App
