    Get a free Gear S2 with the purchase of a Verizon S7/S7 Edge

    My status message just changed again! Up until 6pm (Thurs) I had the "in route" message. (aka enroute). At 8pm, it just changed again. I'm now back to "processing". BTW, I submitted mine 3/11. Posted via the Android Central App

    Messaging app using my camera?

    I noticed my camera usage also (under battery usage, Android system) when I was troubleshooting my battery usage, when I had not used the camera. I found that if you have Smart Stay turned on (under display settings, to keep the display from timing out while you're looking at the screen), it...

    Pandora only works on WIFI

    Similar problem with my S7 on Verizon. I have to clear all programs running (close all) then retry Pandora, and it will work. Posted via the Android Central App

    Workaround for SD card notification

    I get this notification only if I re-boot the phone (power off restart). When the phone powers on, I just swipe the notification away, and it's gone, until I re-boot the phone. (I'm rebooting daily, experimenting with the 30-40% "Android sytem" battery usage. I have the Verizon SM G930V...

    Android System using 30% battery

    That's good news, so I changed that setting this morning. Have you looked at under Android System , so see what's running? I find it odd to see that "camera" has run for 22 seconds, out of the 2 hours my phone has been unplugged. I have not used the camera. Posted via the Android Central App

    Android System using 30% battery

    Same here, just bought it also. I'm disabling just a few items at a time, (maybe just 1 or 2 per day) to see which ones may be the culprit . Posted via the Android Central App

    Android System using 30% battery

    I found that Verizon Cloud was set to automatically backup everything EVERY hour. Absolutely NOT necessary for me , nor for most people I would imagine. So I disabled the app. I think it's helping some. But I'm still showing Android System as the largest battery consumer. Posted via the...

    S7 contacts on home screen

    Android 6 (MM) changed things a bit. Long press on whichever home screen you want your shortcuts on. At the bottom of the screen select "Widgets". Scroll to the "Contacts" group. Select either the Direct Dial or Direct Message icon. Drag that icon to the home screen. It will then bring up your...

    disappointed in battery life [Samsung Galaxy S7]

    I am not finding Package Uninstaller Pro in the Play store. I'm finding many with similar names, and one just called "Uninstaller Pro". I also have Android System responsible for 43% of my battery drain. I tried to force stop Knox, but it restarts itself. Posted via the Android Central App

    S7 not changing to daylight savings time

    My shiny new S7 from Verizon changed. What time zone are you in? There used to be confusion with devices in northeastern Indiana, as this area did not recognize DST. But we have emeged from the dark ages (pun intended) several years ago. Choose Cruz!

    Message preview on lock screen?

    If using the Samsung (stock) messages app, click More (top right), Settings, Notification, then bottom item is Preview message (says " shows preview of new message on lock screen") . Mine is turned on, and it works. Choose Cruz!

    Anyone moved from a LG G4 to and S7? Advice needed!

    My new Verizon S7 is to arrive tomorrow, replacing my LG G4. So while I can't do a comparison at the moment, I'll give you my 2 cents in a day or two. I bought the G4 for the camera and display. The camera is awesome. But unfortunately, the phone itself just isn't what I thought it...
