I usually do leave my phone plugged in overnight, but sometimes I've forgotten and lately I've been testing it negate of how badly its running. I will not root this phone. I was into routing and running roms for a long time, but I just don't want to deal with that anymore. I know that it's not...

I've had Lollipop for over a month now on my Verizon S5 and is still a mess. I've done 2 factory resets and have wiped the cache least a half dozen times. Battery life is still crap. On a good day I only have to charge my phone once, but it's normally twice. I've uninstalled and reinstalled...

I'm going back and forth with Samsung support on twitter right now about it. They're initial response is that we can uncheck the auto time update options in settings. I've asked what happens when I travel, my phone gets screwed up by another update like it did with lollipop and why they...

I live in Arizona and we thankfully don't observe daylight savings time. Every phone I've had for the last few years has had the Arizona time zone as an option in the clock settings and my Verizon GS5 was no exception when it was running KitKat. After the Lollipop update that option is no...

I also have an S5 with Verizon and after working with Samsung on Twitter most things are working again, but not as smoothly as before the lollipop update. The phone is better mainly because I bit the bullet and did the factory reset after going through all of the other troubleshooting 2-3 times...

I'm giving in and doing a factory reset so that I can get my Galaxy S5 to work smoothly again. I also want to get my good battery life back. I know how to go a factory reset and how to restore my info, but it's been a while and I'm wondering if they're are newer, better ways to back up and...

I'll be edging up too. This was my first Samsung phone in a long time and will probably be my last for quite a while. I know a couple of the Samsung reps in my area and I think I'll call them about this as well. They need to know what their customers are saying and what the reps in the stores...

You're right, I meant factory reset. When I was a tech at Sprint we called that a hard reset and powering off and on a soft reset. I also already wiped the system cache twice. I'm just disappointed in Verizon and Samsung for giving us 5.0 when 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 were available. It wouldn't have...

Lollipop has not been kind to me. The first 24 hours weren't bad except for a hit to battery life. Since then my phone has not been running well. I get app crashes and freezing which i know can either be the apps not being updated for lollipop or the phone messing things up. The phone has been...

I updated and was having some issues. I cleared the system cache and that fixed all but the battery life. The battery life has improved some, but it's not as good as it was pre-update. I've done everything except a hard reset. If the battery doesn't show more improvement soon I'll try that...

If we get our hands on the Korean model of the G3, does anyone know how to get the LTE to work on it? I'm just wondering if there's anything special we'd have to do or special settings to change. I found articles about changing some APN settings, but not much more. I've got a slim chance of...

I tried downloading LG Smartworld so that I could try out the different themes and I cannot download it. The site says that this is for LG devices only. Its weird and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen. Posted via Android Central App

Cool. Thanks. I'm gonna give that a try and see how it works. Posted via Android Central App

I'm curious if it would be possible for the G Flex to do the active screen notifications like the Moto X? I know that it requires an AMOLED screen got that to work, but I'm just wondering if it would work with the OLED screen on the Flex. I did some searching online, but i couldn't get an...

I highly doubt it. If I right, only Sprint is using Google wallet now and the other big 3 carriers all went with ISIS. That's the only thing I miss from Sprint, but it's not enough to get me to go back there. Posted via Android Central App
