    S5 switches from 5GHz to 2.4GHz every 5 seconds

    It's been a while...I had issues with the AC app not allowing me to post. I upgraded to the S7 edge and forgot about the forums. Disabling smart switch worked. I do, indeed have both bands active so when one connection was dropped, it would connect to the other one. Never figured out why the...

    Samsung S5 video playback audio problem

    Thank you for your response. I began having trouble with posting to the forums so I got frustrated and left for a while.

    Verizon NI2 update, any negative issues?

    No noticable battery drain, but now mobile data will not automatically switch off while using Wi-Fi. (Imagine that, Verizon. No wonder basic Visual Voicemail is now "free" with the update.) Mobile data can be turned off manually, but I prefer the convenience of automation I had before the...
