    Help MyRound Pro on Gear S3

    I've been using MyRound pro on my Gear S3 regularly with no issues up until this weekend and yesterday all of a sudden started having an issue. I was able to start a round okay, but after a couple of holes all the distances showed up as 999 yards so I thought I'd try exiting out and coming back...

    Phone Reading Screen Presses?

    My son's S9 has started doing the strangest thing. It's reading aloud aced button or screen presses. To get it to accept a click, you basically have to press an icon 3 times to get it to take it. Is this some sort of mode for the visually impaired or something? Any ideas how to get it off?

    VPN Connecton Managed by AT&T

    All of a sudden last night I had a notification pop up from the AT&T Mobiles Security ap that says "Your VPN connection is managed by ATT". I don't know where it came from or how to make it go away. I've never set up a VPN on the phone, and I had not configured anything in AT&T Mobile...

    Help Textra has been dected using SMS

    My phone recently upgraded lately, and with it I got the App Permission monitor. I like the idea, but I keep getting notified that Textra is using SMS (shocker, huh?). I don't want to turn the monitor off all together, and I've gone into settings and verified that Textra has the SMS...

    Battery Life

    My battery life has been horrid lately, and I'm trying to figure out why. I have Gsam battery monitor, but all I can see is that the two biggest drainers are "Android System" and "Kernel". How can I find what is draining the battery? I am on AT&T with Android version 8.0 and Samsung...

    Golf App for Gear G3

    I think I've dropped enough hints that I'm going to get a G3 Frontier for Father's Day, and one of the first things I'm going to want is a golf app. Ideally, in addition to distance to the middle, front, and back of the green I'd like something that could measure shot distances, provide...

    Help Battery Life Degraded (AT&T)

    Both my wife and I have S7 Edge phones from AT&T. I've noticed my battery life has been terrible lately (it seems okay on standby, but any use at all drains it like crazy), so tried a factory reset over the weekend to no avail. My wife mentioned last night that hers has also been bad so I'm...

    USB Cables for Charging

    I have some micro-USB cables that charge my phone in a hurry, and some that take ages. Is there a way to tell the difference visually? And more importantly, I want to buy a couple of more cables as I think I have one or two going bad. What do I look for to ensure I'm getting the ones that...

    Can't Connect to Netflix via Mobile Data

    I can use Netflix over Wi-Fi, but I get the error "Sorry We Cannot Reach the Netflix Service (-14)". I can't even seem to reach the website and get a "help.netflix.com's server DNS address could not be found" when I try to look up help for the error online. I can reach that website just fine...

    Glass Screen Protector for Edge

    Are there any of the glass screen protectors available for the 7 Edge yet, or is is just too new? Or does the curve make that problematic? I'm always debating if those really help protect against screen breaks or not, but tend to fall into the "better safe" category.

    New S7 Edge User; What do I Need to Know

    So my wife and I took advantage of the BOGO S7 Edge deal at AT&T today and are now the proud owners of shiny new S7 Edges. Other than figuring out how the whole "edge" think works, what else do I need to know? I read that the battery life is one of the strong suits, but so far I'm not seeing...

    Help Alarm not Sounding

    I recently tried to set an alarm on my phone, and for some reason it's vibrating but it's not making a sound. I verified a sound it selected, and when I changed the sound it played for the test but not when the alarm time came. I also verified the alarm volume is maxed. Why might this be...

    Battery Monitor

    My battery life had been great until recently. All off a sudden rather than losing a few percentage overnight I'm losing 65%, and I just had my phone replaced on warranty so the battery is not old. Is there a good app I can use to determine the battery vampire that evidently got installed?

    G3 stuck on AT&T Logo at boot

    My wife's phone is stuck on the AT&T screen when booting. I am able to get into download mode, but am unsure of what to do next. I've downloaded the PC Suite and Mobile Support Tool (which seems to be more recent) from LG but in both cases when I do the update recovery I can't get it to work...

    Help Why do I Need a Top of the Line Phone?

    I hope this question doesn't come of snarky, that's definitely not my intent. Until recently I always had a fairly nice phone. That is until my LG G3 started having issues with almost a year to go before I'm eligible for an upgrade. What I decided to do was buy a cheap ZTE Max 2 hoping to get...

    Help HELP! McAfee thinks my phone is rooted? Am I Bricked?

    So I've been having a problem over the last couple of weeks where my phone (with AT&T) tells me my sim card is in valid. Usually a restart fixes is but it's been getting worse and worse. I tried getting a new sim but that didn't help. So when it happens today and I restart, it comes up to a...

    Help Invalid SIM Error

    Last couple of days my phone has sporadically been giving me an "invalid sim" error. Usually powering it down and back on will clear it for a while, but once I had to remove and reseat the sim card. Is this sounding like a hardware issue, or could it be something with the card?

    Help Battery Life

    I was having issues with my battery life so did a factory reset, which seemed to solve my issues. After the reset my phone would drain 8-10% overnight. Now it's back to draining 20%+ overnight, so I'm thinking it must be something that I've installed that's doing it. When I check GSam Battery...
