Connecting external drives for music I am able to connect an external WD Elements hard drive to my Note 4, navigate to music folders (with ES File Explorer) on that drive and then play the music (by clicking the music file). However, music players like Mediamonkey and Music Folder Player can't...

Thanks for the comments and support. You're all telling me stuff that I should have known but - through naivety or ignorance - didn't. I graduated from a sturdy blackberry to the Note and I didn't know what I didn't know. The whole reason for my post was to share this information with other...

Before I get into my story, here are three short points: (1) The Note 4 was a great phone – I really liked it (2) The Note 4 is – apparently – a very fragile device (3) Samsung warranty support is horrible horrible horrible At this moment, I have a worthless piece of what was a very expensive...

Re: Samsung Note 4: Dead Screen thanks for the additional explanation, Spook. Will the MHL cable display work even if the phone screen is broken/not working? And is the "loose connector" the connector between the screen and motherboard?

Re: Samsung Note 4: Dead Screen Thanks for the response, Spook: perhaps I didn't press the question enough with them, but when I took it into the AT&T store to see if they'd replace it, they basically told me I was SOL and told me to go get it repaired - they didn't say anything about the...

Samsung Note 4: Dead Screen I need some quick help and advice. My Note 4 slid off the between-seat console of my car on a turn, hit the dash (I think - not sure) and landed on the floor. From that point on, the screen was black and unresponsive. There was no apparent/visual damage to the...

I can't mine to install on my Samsung Note 4 - the Play store tells me "not compatible with my device"

Thanks, Muzzy - that did it. I guess I tried Picasa out some time in 2008 -- now the question to figure out is Where are those photos and how do I delete them.

I upgraded to a Note 4 from a 4.5 year old blackberry bold. I really love the Note, but am still trying to figure things out - like this thing that has me baffled: When I open up Gallery, there are pictures in the Gallery that I took in 2008 ... before I got my Bold ... with my Nikon D70. I...

Never mind. NATurally, I figured out how to fix it not long after posting. It's in the WhatsApp setting, Notifications, Link to Contact Ringtones. :

I have a Note 4 and installed WhatsApp on it. I use WhatsApp often to text my wife. In my phone contacts list, I picked a special ringtone for my wife's contact so I'll know that she's calling. But - somehow, someway - WhatsApp has picked up my wife's telephone ringtone and uses it to notify...

Thanks, SD - taken care of - I hadn't gotten into SHealth yet, so I don't know how this just decided to show up.

Does anyone have any idea what this sneaker/shoe icon means on this screen? It just showed up last week and I can't seem to do anything with it.

Does anyone know how to change the Note 4 startup sound? I can't seem to find anything like this. (And can wake-up and shut-down sounds be set?) thx - Bill

Re: app screen ads Thanks,rco, reesh -- since I'm new to Android/Note, I am not used to the "long press" action - and figured it out, like, 15 minutes after making my post! :-/ I am getting the impression, reesh, from all I've read, that the flipboard isn't so hot/useful. Thanks for the tip.
