    Help Weather data not updating

    I am new to Wear so this is probably on my end, but I have tried three different watch faces that include weather data, such as current temp, hi and lo temp, and current conditions. The problem with every one I've tried is that they are always way off. It's as if the watch is never -- or very...

    Is there an app that will do one simple thing: Whenever I connect my laptop to my phone via USB, turn on USB tethering?

    Help Sensitive setting missing from App Notifications settings

    Just got Lolipop. Yay. I'm liking the new notifications but something seems to be missing on my stock AT&T S5. According to everything I'm reading online, the Application notifications setting screen should have three switches for each app: Block, Priority, and Sensitive. On my phone, there is...

    Bluetooth and wifi Unlocker F2

    I have this app installed on my Galaxy S5 (AT&T) running stock Android 4.4.2. It mostly works but is somewhat unreliable and quirky. I want to uninstall it. But I seem to be in application hell and can't figure out how to remove the damn thing. First of all, the app apparently can only be...

    Phantom wifi networks

    Here's a weird problem that just started occurring recently on my Galaxy S5 (AT&T) on 4.4.2. When I look at my wifi networks, I see a list that includes many secured networks that I don't recognize and believe to be fake -- see attachment. (The open network at the bottom is a real one, BTW...

    Help The home button

    I just upgraded from a S2 to the S4 and I love it. My only complaint is the hard home button. It takes a lot more effort to hit and really takes some getting used to. I wonder if anyone knows that Samsung's thinking was in making this change? Do you consider it an improvement? So far, I don't...

    AT&T >> T-Mobile

    Anyone here recent converts from AT&T? Next month I will hopefully be ditching AT&T after 12 years and thinking of going to the new no commitment plan. I have four lines and with data it looks like I'll be saving about $50 a month. I love the idea of bringing my own phones and being free of long...

    Help Freezing after Jellybean upgrade

    Since the upgrade, what has otherwise been a great experience is occasionally (about once a day) spoiled by a total freeze. The screen freezes and all the soft buttons quit responding. So far I haven't noticed any pattern -- it seems to happen randomly. Sometimes it lasts a minute or two and...

    Home launcher default app won't "stick"

    I have LauncherPro Plus installed on my stock Galaxy S2 (Android version 2.3.6). It works great but there is one major annoyance. Several times a day, when I press the home button, I get the Android "choose default app" prompt, with the stock launcher and LPP listed. Each time, I check the "make...

    Captivate > S2. Experiences?

    I'm thinking of upgrading from my Captivate to the S2. I was wondering how many others have made that particular jump and what your experience has been. Overall I like my Captivate and would keep it except for 2 things. First, I am one of those with the intractable GPS flaw that never got fixed...

    Anyone using Sprite backup?

    In another thread someone recommended Sprite Backup -- but on their website, there is no mention of support for Captivate. And there doesn't seem to be a way to ask them a question without registering. So I was wondering if any Cappy owners are using it and what their thoughts are on it. I want...

    Cookie problem with stock browser?

    Unlike many folks, I am pretty happy with the stock Android browser. However in the past couple of weeks, I have twice been unable to log into websites that I can access from my desktop. In one case, I got an error that said I did not have cookies enabled, but I double checked and cookies are...

    Bookmarks synching?

    One thing I have yet to figure out is how to get my bookmarks syncing between Chrome on my desktop and the stock Android browser. I found a link that purports to be a workaround using Google docs, but it doesn't work for me -- I don't see anything my "My Folders" even though I am synching my...

    Walmart salesperson

    Thought y'all might get a kick out of this... I was messing around at Walmart over the weekend, trying to find out if there was any "wiggle room" in their pricing of the Captivate and if was expected to go back on sale any time soon. I didn't really expect the sales guy to know this -- I was...

    Where to buy?

    I am going to grab my Captivate on October 7. That's when I am eligible for an upgrade from AT&T. I would like some opinions on where the best place is to buy one, considering price, customer service, and all other factors. I have always bought my phones from the AT&T store, mainly because it...
