Yes, I was referring to the default watch face (chronograph). I fiddled around a bit and discovered that I had to tap the very centre of the face (the boss). I suspect that the area that launches the stopwatch has contracted to make way for Samsung Pay. And that is why I kept going into...

A few moments ago I accidentally activated the stopwatch feature on the chronograph watchface (the red seconds hand). I closed it. Now, I cannot find how to get the stopwatch to start. What's the gesture that makes the stopwatch appear? I keep going into Samsung PAY...

Ah, it always works... You ask a question and the moment you post it, you work out how to do it. I went to ES文件浏览器 and downloaded the app. I had to allow it to install, but that was easy. I'm curious to know if I could have installed it from the Google play store.

My wife wants to move a file on her tablet to her SD. My Files seems exquisitely designed to foil this, so I suggested ES File Manager (I have the pro version on my tablet) The Google play store has a plethora of file manager apps, but the estrongs version doesn't seem to be amongst them. I...

Can someone post instructions on how to create a playlist in the S3 Frontier music player, or point me at some instructions? I've followed several sets of instructions, but they all end without getting to the "Create Playlist" feature. It's usually just after "Press Menu" when *my* S3 goes back...

Ah, thanks for explaining why I can't disable those user-installed apps. So, in general, if I can disable an app, I'm unlikely to be able to delete it, and if I cannot disable the app, I would be able to delete it. I suppose this keeps the UI simpler... You need only one field, which will...

I have several audio manager apps, and I'd like to disable all but one of them. But I cannot find the disable button any more. I've used it in the past. I have given up googling for this feature, as none of the sets of instructions match what happens on my S7. Android version: 8.0.0 Samsung...

My finger has a radius of about 1.7cm (as far as the watch is concerned). Using my pinky yields a much more reliable approach. My stylus is about 6mm radius. Incidentally, I kept losing my stylus, so I attached a small, brightly coloured, silky tassel to it. I've not lost it since then (but...

Yes, I was getting clicks, not swipes. I seemed not to be starting high enough on the bezel, so the first thing that the watch noticed was a click just inside the watch face. With a bit of practice, I can now get to the B/W settings view about 80% of the time. Incidentally, does this view have...

I find my watches battery percentage by dragging down from the bezel at the top. Since an update in the last 2 days, I now have to use a stylus, otherwise I just get to the stopwatch. I don't always carry a stylus with me... I'm probably doing something wrong. What's the right way to open the...

I'm planning to use my wife's S4 Mini to configure a new SIM card for an iSocket 3G device which uses a micro SIM card. The iSocket Manual emphasizes: "You must disable PIN code authorisation for the SIM card!" (their emphasis I suspect that my new Giffgaff SIM card comes with this disabled by...

It's intermittent. I woke the Fire from sleep and was at the Home screen. I pressed the Alexa microphone button and the blue line indicator appeared and beeped. In my surprise I let go the button, so I tried it again... No blue line (but the audible beep was fine. I moved on to the "Your Videos"...

I'm new to Amazon Fire TV (2 days). I used it to ask Alexa about my diary... I was told to check my Alexa home feed, whatever that is. There seemed to be no settings for Alexa in the Fire, so I installed Alexa app on my phone, and configured my calendar there. I went back to the Fire remote...

I just found a good reason to have a "stop" button... I had a track on my Gear S3 which was undeletable. Turned out that it was the track which was currently paused. So I played it to the end, it came to a stop, and then I could delete the track. I've also noticed that I can use the slider to...

I have a Galaxy S7 Edge, a Galaxy S2 Tab, and a pair of AKG K845BT Bluetooth headphones. Bluetooth is always on for the S7 and usually turned on for the S2 Tab. So, how can I choose which of the two devices will connect when I turn on the headphones? The S7 seems nearly always to win the...
