Not yet. It will be, as soon as I have time to sort out the adb drivers on my ancient XP system.

Among the other virtues of the cheapo kickstand case that I got for the Nexus is that I can slip a finger through it and another alongside it, thereby keeping it secure without having to wrap my fingers all the way around the far edge. Having the phone secure in my fingertips rather than my...

Re: After L update, user icons disappeared from lock screen - Galaxy Tab S On the Galaxy Tab S 8.4, sweeping down from the top center of the lock screen opens a drop-down menu. The third icon from the upper right corner is a picture of a face. Tapping that permits selection of the user, who...

Good info, thanks! Of course the disadvantage of that approach is that internal storage will be used multiple times, once for the original data and then again for each saveset. I don't have a huge amount on my existing phone, but now that I think of it, it might not be a bad idea to go ahead...

So the idea would be to use StickMount or an equivalent, plug something in and back up to that?

How are folks handling Titanium Backup in the Nexus 6 environment where there is no SD card?

Multi-user operating systems generally have a way for an administrative user to edit the properties of other users, including resetting the password. From the owner account I created an alternate user on the Tab S 8.4 for a family member who has now forgotten the password. I can delete the...

Your call. If it were me, I'd reset, then try Netflix on the stock device before downloading anything else.

Re: Hancom Office I can't reproduce the problem. Can you give us a step-by-step to help us see what you're seeing?

Same resolution, smaller screen size = better pixel density More portable Easier to hold

All of the devices on which I've seen an auto-timezone feature have some sort of phone-system connection to a tower that knows what time zone it's in, and it hands that information back to the client device. I'm trying to envision how, if I were one of the developers, I would program a...

Nope, no hidden apps at the moment, but it was a good thought!

Took me a couple of minutes to find the widgets, but yep, you're right: it's there as a widget. It's an odd one, though, in that it is effectively a shortcut to install the actual program. Not the usual download from an apps store -- but then, according to the blurb that comes up when the...

Just got the S 8.4, and the first thing it wanted to do was the software update that is apparently a necessary precursor to setting up Kids Mode. I know that I saw an icon for it on one of the home screens at one point, but I was also going through and cleaning up a bunch of icons for useless...
