    Unlocked Carrier phone software upgrades?

    Still curious though, once unlocked, if you go elsewhere are you always going to be doing your own thing via odin? Have never done that and while not afraid, I am not what I used to be. Had a stroke a little over a year ago and my brain thinks I did things that my fingers didn't. Sort of like...

    Unlocked Carrier phone software upgrades?

    Ignorant on this one. If I unlock my ATT phone and stay with them, I assume they will still provide software upgrades as normal. What happens if I go to a MVNO or another major carrier with my unlocked ATT phone? I get that if I buy unlocked, it would be Sammy in my case providing updates but...

    I could not be more disappointed at Note 8 now that it has been unveiled.

    I know I am the only one but I still miss the removable battery and I had so much fun changing people's channels with the remote capability. Note 5 now and not seeing a big reason to upgrade. Would like improved camera but the Note 5 is meeting my needs. I did replace the non removeable...

    What happened to contact groups?

    Don't use but just opened message app, new message, tapped human icon at top right and group option is there. Looks like it works but did not try.

    What happened to contact groups?

    Thanks, maybe I am flaking out but you are correct, group option is under contacts vs phone. Weird because I could swear it was in phone app. I said the only contact app I had was Sync me because i never used or noticed the contact app before. It is buried in the app list. What is the point...

    What happened to contact groups?

    Using native phone App. It always had the group option before. Simple, search for a group, find contact, call. The only "contact" app I have is Sync.me. it is great for caller ID but as far as I can see has no search option for groups. I can go to my gmail on pc and groups are actually...

    What happened to contact groups?

    Been there, done that. Groups are no longer a listed option. I can go to a contact & it is still assigned to a group but no way to get to the group to see its members.

    Live Broadcasting - Can't Upload

    I went through all the hoops to set up and do a live broadcast but when done the only option is share. That's fine except none of the share options include Utube so how do you upload. I checked and its not automatic. My impression so far is this a big PITA. Why mess with this when I can do...

    Wi-Fi won't load, Cell OK ??

    Only trouble is I run into this at places of business - no big deal because I have plenty of data, just annoying.

    Wi-Fi won't load, Cell OK ??

    Occasionally something like Facebook pictures or other video streams won't load up on Wi-Fi but if I turn Wi-Fi off, they load fine using the cell connection. Anyone else experience this or know why? The Wi-Fi connection and signal appear good.

    SideSync or Airdroid or Something else?

    I use slidesync and love it. It can get flaky buy not sure its not my crappy wifi connection. I have transferred gobs of photos drag and drop. I like it running while on my pc to get notifications. Then I can either kill them or bring up the phone screen and respond. What is not to like?

    Lock Screen Custom Message - FYI

    Haven't seen this mentioned but it occurred to me that something was missing from my lock screen that I had on my Note 3. For those that are not aware, you can put a personal message on your lock screen that scrolls by. It may help if your phone is found or you could get creative if you bought...

    What phone are you coming from?

    Note 3 - Can't activate until 14th due to Verizon early cancel charge. Agonized over losing the battery and IR sensor but figured it was time to give something new a shot.
