    Nickname Wi-Fi Connections

    Without resorting to an app is there a way to change a wi-fi name on my cell phone. I know how to change my own SSID but I am talking about the numerous wi-fi names on my cell. Most of time when I am at a friends or a business I trust it automatically connects if I have entered the password...

    Page Not Responding

    I have been getting the 'Page Not responding' On my Tab E. Not on all pages just mostly ones that have a lot of content. I tried Chrome on 3 or 4 of them and doesn't seem to be as prevalent. This is happening on my S5 also. Wonder if there a bug in the Samsung browser?
