With Sidesync I could make calls on my PC through the phone, and use my PC headset. If I try and make a call through Flow, I can make the phone dial from the PC, but it still uses the phone microphone and speaker, not the PC's. Has anyone else got this to work?

I have some WiFi networks that I want my phone (Galaxy S7) to remember the password to, but I do not want to auto connect to. Are there any (preferably free) WiFi apps that allow this?

Thanks all (especially SpookDroid) for your advice. I went ahead and bought a Chromecast, and I'm really liking it. Although it seems the app prevents me disabling wifi on my S5. If I turn the wifi off it instantly turns itself back on.

If you could try that SpookDroid that would be awesome! My concern is that maybe Chromecast won't let you do anything until it's got a wifi and/or internet connection.

Also - If I only want to mirror the screen, can I use guest mode to connect even if the Chromecast is not conmected to wifi? One place I used the MHL adapter with the S5 was in hotels where usually the wifi is no good for Chromecast, according to Google.

That's a shame. I wish Samsung hadn't dropped aupport for the physical MHL adapter. I just found out that Chromecast supports somethong called Guest mode, that allows casting to any Chromecast in range without being in the same wifi network. How does that work, wifi direct?

You really like the Chromecast :) I assume if you're screen mirroring, you need a decent wifi connection between the devices?

I would like to know what the best method is to mirror a Galaxy S6 screen to non-smart HDMI TV. Mostly for watching videos on Netflix, Youtube, and local video files (sometimes the native player, sometimes the MX Player app) Searches of Google and this forum list a variety of ways to mirror the...

With my S5, I can use the MHL adapter to plug it physically into a TV HDMI port But if I get the S7, the MHL adapter will not work and I'll have to get some kind of wireless dongle like an Allshare Cast HUB, or a Chromecast, or something similar. I hear those all stream over the local wifi so...

One thing I love about my current S5 and my old S3 is the ability to use an MHL adaptor to plug the phone into a non-smart TV and mirror whatever I put on the phone screen to the tv. I use it a lot. I hear that the S6 dropped support for MHL, and the various hdmi wireless dongles it can cast to...

I agree this was a mistake by Samsung. Having private text messages appear on the lock screen is a privacy risk, and having to disable message preview in the notification bar to prevent that is highly inconvenient. We should have full control over what potentially personal data can be accessed...

The original free Angry Birds offers an in-app purchase to remove adds. Does anyone know if this purchase will persist across multiple devices, or if I reset my phone or uninstall and reinstall the app? From what little I know about Android in-app purchases, they can persist but not every app...
