    widgets not working/not updating

    I hope people find this post. I have fixed the freezing widget problem on my note 8 using an aftermarket launcher. First a tip though not what fixed it permanently.. Not see if a widget is causing a problem, and not only the program itself where the widget comes from, but if you have a Key...

    widgets not working/not updating

    Same with my Note 8. This is so widespread I can't believe Google/Android has not addressed it. Been going on for sometime now. As someone posted I don't think one widget is causing the others to freeze in this case. I deleted all, restarted phone clear cache etc and add one at a time. With one...

    I hope this helps those with Battery problems and rebooting after the Marshmallow update including 6.0.1 This all worked 100% on my Note 4. I won't list all the known things like turning off location, turning off wifi or data etc as all those generally help save battery but are not what the...

    Is a small exposed portion of my screen ok?

    Re: Screen protector issue There are many that will cover it completely, like the Tech Armor. The one the At&t store uses will.

    Anyone know how to fix this alarm clock issue?

    Are you saying there are no days of the week showing to pick? I don't think it is a Samsung problem since on my At&t even with their latest updates it has continued to work as intended. For now just use an app there are so many good small alarm apps.

    'Google Location Service is disabled' alert keeps popping up

    That shows when some apps such as weather are set to automatically update. If location/GPS is turned off you will get that message. I have often had location and GPS turned off with no notification as long as no app that relies on location is asking for information.

    Can't send text messages

    If it's an MMS text (includes an attachment like a picture), make sure to turn data on.

    Correct APN settings but data will not work

    At&T? If so good luck ever getting it to work again on that network from everything I have read. Their version was not able to be unlocked, (Boatloader, not talking about unlocking sim usage) and an unlocked one may not work.

    I still have it in 4.3 using the stock messaging app for Samsung S4. Make the message and pick settings, scheduling is there.

    How do I turn off Developer mode?

    ALL settings will be reset. OP, just turn it off and forget about it if it is your phone. If someone in family and you are worried they will make changes, then I guess a settings reset is in your future.

    SD cards and download-folder

    Most people just use a file downloading app that allows you to change where all downloads go, such as ES files among others.

    How to download files from an "untrusted site" on chrome?

    On mobile this is happening? Any of my devices shows a warning, nothing more. Good suggestion to just use another browser.
