    Need help playing radio station on Samsung Galaxy J7

    Thanks for the explanation Rukbat. I thought it might be something in the app. After a little research I found the NextRadio app. With it I can either play the station via radio waves (with wired earbuds) or stream it. I haven't had any issues with NextRadio, so for now I'll stick with it...

    Need help playing radio station on Samsung Galaxy J7

    I am struggling to listen to a radio station with earbuds on my Samsung Galaxy J7 (running Android 7). I use several different audio apps, mostly for listening to books, podcasts, or radio. In all of these apps, I want to be able to listen and pause the play on the remote if someone comes into...

    Earphone/buds with remote - none will pause play

    Thanks for your help chanchan05. I think I've figured out a few things. First I tried the earphones with an online mp3 file on a different device (an LG K20). When playing the music via the web, the pause button worked. So then I tried the same file - same website on the Samsung and again...

    Earphone/buds with remote - none will pause play

    Earphone/buds with remote - none will pause play

    Tried a quick press and get NO response. You are correct in that I am doing a press/hold to activate "Ok Google". What ear buds are you using that work?

I want to be able to listen to audiobooks on my Samsung Galaxy J7 (Android 7) and be able...

    Android 7 Clock alarm won't turn off on notification screen

    Yes B Diddy, that's the same screen and the directions in the link (tap/hold and swipe) worked. I had not tried the two actions in one continuos motion. Glad to know how to make it work. :) Thanks

    Android 7 Clock alarm won't turn off on notification screen

    I'm having issues with the Clock on a new Samsung Galaxy J7. This is the app that came on the phone and I'm not sure if it is specific to Samsung or Android.

    LG service vs Samsung service (need to know by tomorrow)

    I have a LG K20V that died while charging on Monday 9/25. I bought the phone from Verizon with a prepaid account on 9/15. Verizon offered to replace my NEW phone with a "Certified Like-New" phone of the same model. I have issues with replacing a new phone with a used phone and trusting LG to...

    Earphones/earbuds for Android (LG K20 Plus) Smartphone

    When playing an audio on my LG K20 plus and wearing Apple earpods, if I press the pause button various actions occur. Sometimes it works correctly - pausing on the 1st press and restarting the play with the 2nd. Other times the pause button activates OK Goggle. (I have turned off OK Goggle...
