Thanks. Turns out the key is to keep trying each 3rd-party app till you actually find one that can be moved. For example, Amazon's Appstore app will *not* move but Amazon Kindle will. The option for changing the storage location doesn't appear unless the app is moveable. That was throwing me...

Just got an S7 as a replacement for my Note 5 which got shot through my snow thrower. I upgraded the S7 to Nougat this afternoon. After restoring all my apps, data, etc., I am using 30.08 GB of 32 total so I bought a 128 GB SanDisk MicroSDXC and installed it. The S7 found & formatted it. I've...

I'm looking at an S7 for the interim until the S8 is available. Long story short , tragically my Note 5 got sucked up into my snow thrower. The result was pieces of my phone are now scattered over my back yard, buried under 18 inches of snow. If that wasn't bad enough, the week long process of...

Thanks so much to you both!! I have him checking to see which band AT&T is using. He's in Mississippi, I'm in New York. My old S4 has long since been paid off and is now relegated to paperweight duties. I actually did use it on WiFi when the screen on my Note 5 sprung a leak and turned purple...

An old friend of mine in Mississippi has fallen on very hard times. After December 31, his 3G phone will no longer work on AT&T's network. Like me, he has serious health issues and is on a fixed income. He cannot afford a new phone right now. I was thinking I could give him my old S4 if I...

Can anyone shed some light on this update? Its purpose is not clearly explained, except for the part that says, basically, once you get it, you've got it so learn to like it even if you hate it. Expressed as, "You cannot downgrade once the update is installed". My searches have yielded no...

Does anybody else have issues with S Voice launching whenever you say anything that might have the same number of syllables as the wake command you set? I feel like I now spend more time canceling S Voice than I do using it. I have tried everything from "Hello Galaxy" to "Answer me dammit" to...

Thanks, Rukbat! Will do! Posted using my Note 5 via the Android Central App

Call me a late bloomer but I'm just now getting around to using S Voice on my Note 5. In doing so, I realized that I need to change some of my default apps, for example instead of the music player, I want PowerAmp to open. However, despite watching several videos and reading countless web...

Updated mine last Saturday, I think it was. So far, there's a lot more to like than to dislike, IMO. For one thing, the one touch call/msg function is back. Finally! My battery usage seems to be a little more frugal, too. Lots of little subtleties in the OS, none of which comes to mind just...

I was jazzed after I was able to finally upgrade to Marshmallow. As promised on another board, the direct dialer widget was back but didn't have a chance until this morning to set up my contacts. Now the widget is gone?!? WTMF?!? Unbelievable! What happened?

Is there an email address or forum or some mechanism somewhere to submit suggestions for future versions of the Android operating system? All I've been able to find is a forum for developers only. Thanks! Posted using my Note 5 via the Android Central App

Cannot switch back to swipe unlock Just got my Note 5 yesterday and I was really digging it up until this issue reared its little mutant head. BTW, I'm still digging it-this thing is badass! Anyway, I was just putzing around with the settings and decided to try the PIN unlock option for the...

Hi Precursor. I imagine you can store any data you choose to the provided storage. It's just like any other storage account, e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. As to the device storage, that's been my question, too. My S4 is a 16GB version &, as I recall, I had somewhere around 9.5-10 GB free...
