    Help LED Notifications

    Can anyone tell me if the S7 has different colors of notifications, for different apps? My S5 had Blue for text, email and calendar. Green for Kik, purple for Yahoo and a light blue for another app I use. Now, with the S7, all I have is Blue. I don't know about the Yahoo notification yet, as I...

    Accessories Magnets and the S7

    Hi everyone. I finally got my S7 yesterday, and I am SOOOO happy I did. I am really enjoying it. I have a question about magnets. I have been using the Steelie Ball Magnetic mount on my S5, and was about to attach it to the Ballistic case on my S7. When I went to position it, I noticed that it...

    Help Getting an S7, but a have a question about my S5

    Hi everyone. So i am hoping to grab an S7 today, but i have a question about "wiping" my old phone before i give it to my daughter. When you do a factory data reset, does it TOTALLY wipe the phone? Are there files and pictures that remain on the device, even though they are not "visible"? Thanks

    Help Gyroscope?

    Good morning everyone. Last night, while trying to view a few websites, i noticed that my screen will not rotate when i turn my phone sideways. I did hit *#0*# and did test the sensors, the gyroscope failed. Crap. Is the gyroscope replaceable? Is it worth doing? Or do i live with it until the S7...

    Accessories S6 cases

    Hi everyone. With the new S7 and S7 Edge coming out, i am anxiously awaiting my next new device. I bought the S6 on release, and immediately gave it to my son, and went back to my S5, because the battery life was so poor, and the lack of a waterproof case didn't help matters either. I do a lot...

    Getting frustrated

    Hey all... so i got the S6 64gb on release, and was immediately underwhelmed by it's battery life, among other things. So i gave the S6 to my son and went back to my S5. All was well until a few weeks ago. Now the S5 is laggy and slow. It also seems to freeze up frequently. It has even been...

    Gear Fit in H2O?

    Hey fellow Android users. I bought the Samsung Gear Fit last Sunday and am really enjoying it so far. I noticed that it's "dust and water resistant". I have warn it in the shower several time with zero issues. I also have a really nice Citizen "Dive watch" that is "water resistant" too.... i...

    I may come back...

    Well, i got the S6 on release and was THRILLED to get it. But the honeymoon is over now. The battery life is atrocious on my S6. I use it a fair amount during the day, ok, i use it a lot. I usually have to charge it 2 times a day. I like the phone, i love its looksand the 64gb version is plenty...

    The I got mine thread...

    Well.... let's hear from anyone who received their S6. Do you like it? First impressions? Any regrets? I pick mine up at BB, at 10:00am this morning. It's going to be tough to keep my hands off it for the rest of the day. :)

    Help S5 is slow and...

    So, my S5 has been a GREAT device. I have really enjoyed it, and had basically no problems that weren't self induced. But, over the past few weeks, it has all of a sudden become very laggy and slow. Apps open slowly, and respond poorly. Several times a day the screen will just go black, except...

    Who else pre-ordered?

    So i ended up with the S6 instead of the S6 Edge. I was dead set to get the Edge, until i contacted Lifeproof and OtterBox to find out if they will make a waterproof case for the Edge. Apparently neither of them have plans to do so. But they are going to have a case for the S6. So i just got...

    Accessories Cases?

    So i would bet that Lifeproof and OtterBox will make a good case for the S6.... do you think the S6 Edge will get some attention too? I pretty much require an OtterBox Preserver or Lifeproof. Although lifeproof will need to make their case a bit differently so the speaker is more clearly heard...

    Edge pricing?

    Have we heard about pricing yet? I swung into Best Buy to see a couple friends in the mobile phone dept and the Samsung kiosk. .. they said pre-pre-order for the S6 and S6 Edge start Friday. I am curious of what i may be paying? I am pretty sure I'll get the 64gb.... may even consider the 128gb.

    Switching from S5 to S6 (edge)

    So, if all goes to plan, i hope to get the S6 edge, or the S6. I am coming to grips with the lack of an SD card slot and removable battery. I am wondering about transferring the music on my S5 to the S6. I use DoubleTwist as my main music player. I believe my music is on the SD card. I have...

    S6 Waterproof?

    Maybe i missed it, but does anyone know if the S6 is "waterproof" like the S5? Sure would think so, given a non removable back.

    Accessories Waterproof case experiences

    So i have a Lifeproof case on my S5. For protection, i really like how it has performed so far. I use it in, and around water with no concerns at all. The problem has been the way the case affects the speaker volume. Sometimes i can hear people just fine, and sometimes not. It seems to be pretty...

    Did the S5 Sport Flop?

    Just curious. .. i guess i was one of the first to jump on the S5 Sport when it quietly came out... now i don't see or hear anything about it. Was it a total dud? I like it, except for the lack of LifeProof and Otterbox Preserver style cases. This thing is getting the crap beat out of it. I've...

    My notifications bar had an icon of an SD card pop up today, it said "blank card or unsupported files on SD card". Then it gave me an option to format it. I don't have much on the card so i formatted it. I did lose a lot of music and some pictures, but i am puzzled as to what mayhave happened...

    Help voice echo during calls?

    Hi everyone. My wife has a Note 2 and loves it. But she is having an issue with hearing her own voice while she is on the phone. But the weird part is, she only hears it while she is on the phone with my daughter, who is on an S4. It doesn't appear to happen with any other calls. Thoughts?
