    Galaxy Note 4 ringer volume drops after first ring

    This is another one I would class as an annoyance but it can be pretty serious too, if you are using your phone for business and find you have been missing calls. This is a followup to a previous bug which worked as follows: after the phone rings and is answered and hung up, for subsequent...

    Smartlock does not work

    While I am here and posting on another (more urgent) I issue, I will ask this question, which has bugged me for a long time: why does Smartlock not work ? I have set it up on numerous different phones I have owned over the years and it has not worked on any of them, ever. Trusted places...

    Android 7.0 / LG G5 - phone does not hang up

    This is a very weird problem. We had a previous LG G5 that ran a version of Android 6; for whatever reason, it crashed and was replaced with this new one, which has Android 7.0 We never had problems with the phone on Android 6 (or at least, not after we changed to True Phone). But on this...

    Help Bluetooth keyboard that supports scrolling ?

    In the ongoing (it has now almost two years) effort to cut the cable and find an actually reliable alternative (having rejected for one reason or another Roku, Chromecast, Android boxes including MyGica, etc. etc., mostly because of ineffective and laggy streaming), I have stumbled across...

    Help Sky 4D: how to change ringtone ?

    Because of ongoing support and repair issues with Samsungs and desperation for a phone to use imediately, I have bought a knockoff known as Sky 4D which runs Android 4.4.2. It seems fine so far, except there seems to be no way to change the hideous default ringtone. There is no Sound option...

    Help Note 4 volume control with screen locked

    This is something that has slowly been driving me crazy; a small thing maybe but a real annoyance. It never was an issue with my Note, Note 2 or Note 3. This is the Galaxy Note 4 with Android 5.1.1. Why is it that the physical volume control button on the left side of the device does not...

    Call confirm not working

    In the past I have received some really helpful insights from questions asked here, so I hope someone will be able to shed some light on this, which is maybe a tough one. I hope there is a better answer than reinitializing the phone. I have a Galaxy Note 4 with Android 5.1.1. I have found that...

    App to lock folders & their contents

    I have found it very helpful to set up my Android using categorized folders on the home screen: System Utilities, GPS-based apps, Audio Streaming, Video Streaming, Browsers, News, Games, Books / Magazines, etc. I also use these to keep links, e. g. for news sites, science blogs, etc. This is...

    Help Galaxy Note 4 HDMI support ?

    Maybe this has been answered somewhere but if so I don't see it. I have a Samsung HDMI adapter I have been using to connect my Note 2 to HDMI on my TV and it has worked just fine. Evidently it does not work for my new Note 4. Is there another alternative ? Is there a product that will do...

    Help MultiWindow vs Settings button

    I'm sure I can't be the only person having this problem. Just got the Note 4 last week and it is becoming very frustrating. With previous Android (Note 2), the button below and to the left of the screen was (when you were in an app) the Settings button and that was it. Now it evidently serves...

    Help How to transfer home page links across devices

    I am finding this very frustrating; with all the hundreds of options and apps out there for sharing of data, apps, files, photos, music, etc, in every conceivable way, there does not seem to be any easy way to transfer or share a home page link. Any suggestions on this ? The problem: I have...
