    T-Mobile Note 8 Oreo Update

    I just received the OTA update on my phone. By using my Wi-Fi and network I dropped the 1GB+ update in 10 minutes. It also installed and updated in another 10 minutes; 94 apps in all. I use Nova Launcher I cannot comment on Samsung's UX 9.0. However, off the bat I can tell it's smoother and faster.

    T-MOBILE Update today

    My automatic update worked smoothly for me. Didn't know it happened as it checks for an update automatically at 0300 hrs Pacific. So far, so sweet.

    When navigating with Android Auto, how do you stop spoken directions?

    On my new 2016 Honda Accord I am rocking Android Auto. However, as my music is playing, navigational directions keep interrupting the music. Since the Android Auto screen is so large and easily visible, I don't need spoken directions. This becomes annoying when having several turns in a row. Is...

    How to stop the Music app from automatically playing when connecting my GS6e to my car's Bluetooth?

    This started happening when I loaded my phone with some of my MP3 library. Further, I've gone through all settings, of which there are none to prevent this, talked to T-Mobile, and Samsung, to no avail. Their final response was to perform a factory reset on the phone. Finally after hitting a...

    TMobile Update!

    My update seems to have gone very smoothly. Aside from the phone being a little warm, I was immediately able to turn off both S Finder and Quick Connect. The home screens look exactly the same as before. This was the same experience I had upgrading my GS5 to Lollipop. I am simply verifying the...

    TMobile Update!

    Downloading as I type. It seems the Apps numbered in the 240s take a long time to upgrade. Which Apps are those? No idea. I am excited none the less.

    TMO Lollipop update!

    I have just installed the Lollipop update on my S5. The update process could not have been smoother. Additionally, my home screens, folders, and all icons including their location were not touched. I immediately noticed a faster, smoother response from my 9-month old S5. So far, so wow.

    Motorola Smartactions for the S4

    Motorola makes a super app for their phones that automatically changes settings depending on conditions the phone senses; WiFi, blue tooth, location, etc. I've searched for a similar app for my S4 to no avail. Has anyone come across the functionality found in Motorola's Smartactuons app, but...
