    Is the Samsung Galaxy S6 still a very good phone?? I am getting one!!

    You always hear the worst on the Internet and the forums because that is where people go to get help for issues and to complain. Seldom do people go on the forums to say, "hey, my phone is great and I'm having no issues!" lol I also think that early birds who get a new device the minute it comes...

    New update - No more fast charging?

    I'll just add for comparison purposes that I'm also on Verizon with the S6 and have not had any issues with fast charging since the last update...still charges very rapidly.

    How to stop Facebook from displaying your photos? Most advice doesn't work on S7

    Well that's why I dumped it. But my point was that if you're going to use it, using your browser to access it doesn't drain your battery like the app does. Yes, I'm tired of FB's fangs. Don't miss it.

    unauthorized actions have been detected.

    Did you buy your phone from someone used? If so, maybe the previous owner had rooted the phone. That's what it sounds like from the Knox message. I would want to return it.

    Is it dangerous for my Samsung Galaxy S6 to charge overnight?

    Re: hi is it dangerous for my Samsung Galaxy s6 charge overnight? I use a Spigen wireless charger overnight so my S6 is not plugged in and not fast charging. I use the fast charge Samsung cable for a quick pick-me-up during the day if I need to. This way I'm not fast charging all the time, even...

    S7 Edge Users - Why do you use another launcher?

    What bothers me most about using TW themes is the fact that so few icons are changed to go with the theme. Just the Samsung apps are themed. That means if I want other apps on my homescreen, which I do, they look awful. If this wasn't the case I would give it a chance. But right now I am using...

    Samsung s6 wont boot up

    Have you held the power button down for at least 30 seconds or more to see if that works? Also, you can hold down power and volume down button to bring up safe mode and then get into your phone that way to get your pictures. Sometimes just bringing it up in safe mode fixes the problem, at least...

    Smart Lock -> Trusted Places does not work

    When I first got my S6 last December, trusted locations never worked. I had on high accuracy and wifi and all that has been mentioned. After a month of using my phone trusted places just started working. I had not changed any settings. Now it works 99% of the time. Occasionally when I first come...

    keeping my Galaxy S6

    Please try SwiftKey. It's the best keyboard out there and great with predictive typing. It's the first App I put on any new phone. I'll try others occasionally, but always come back. As for the crackling noise, I've never had anything but excellent reception and sound on phone calls. I would...

    Anyone have an iPad and GS7?

    Lots of Android folks have iPads and have never had the iPhone. I think it works fine.

    How to stop Facebook from displaying your photos? Most advice doesn't work on S7

    Or you could dump Facebook..... It's more and more intrusive. I finally broke my FB habit and deactivated my account. But it is better to use your web browser to access Facebook because the FB app is a resource hog. I don't know if that will help your problem with it auto uploading your photos...

    Who is using their S7 Edge without screen protection????

    I've been wondering how you would make a screen protector work on a curved screen. I tried one, nice tempered glass, on my regular S6 and it started to bother me so I removed it. It was crystal clear and didn't feel bad, but I could see the edge and that got to me.

    Best Keyboard?

    Go into settings, applications, and choose the default keyboard there. Should stop that constant asking.
