My favorite is FingerSecurity which requires a fingerprint to unlock apps. Combined with GalleryVault which encrypts and hides pictures and videos I have a pretty comparable replacement for SecureFolder. Indeed I've found FingerSecurity to have a number of nice features lacking in the Note 7's...

There is no easy method to backup and restore application data. Not all apps sync to the cloud. I use helium which works well but is wonky to say the least - it usually takes several tries before I get a good backup (it often just hangs). Even so there are a lot of settings that don't transfer...

I chatted with a TMo rep yesterday. They said that, as of now, they are only replacing N7's through in-store exchange. They are not yet shipping replacement N7's to homes for exchange. The retail store exchange doesn't work for me since it usually takes me at least 2 days to get everything...

I upgraded from an S7E to the Note 7 for one important reason: memory. The S7E has 32gb, the Note 7 has 64gb. By the time I load up apps and Oculus Gear VR stuff, my S7E was getting very low on free space. The SD card is an incomplete solution - many apps can't be moved off primary storage. I...

What I don't understand is how they can offer the Tab E *OR* the Tab A since the Tab A (to my knowledge) is wifi only.

I just got off the phone with a very friendly and helpful TMo rep. Since I ordered on 8/8 (after the tab promo start) she could just add the tablet to my existing pre-order; no need to cancel/reorder. Here's my understanding of the deal: - I would pay the full price of the tablet today plus tax...

You guys rock! Glad to hear it isn't just me.

I placed my pre-order on Monday 8/8 over the phone using a JOD from my S7E. The ordering went smoothly but by Tuesday morning I still hadn't received my EIP to sign. I chatted with a rep and they suggested I check my spam folder. Sure enough, there it was. My email labeled it as spam because...

I have a G925i (edge version of 920i) that didn't get Samsung Pay today. I asked Samsung tech support and they said this: "As of now only the carrier locked devices are compatible with Samsung Pay. The unlocked devices are not supported by Samsung Pay." This is a deal breaker for me so I'll be...

I just bought a new unlocked GSM Moto X. I currently have an iPhone on a postpaid A&T iPhone plan which I'll be cancelling once I settle on the a new plan for the Moto X and transfer the number. I rarely make or take calls on the phone so I don't need many minutes. I typically use slightly less...
