    Reset Without Internet

    The wifi connection on my Tab 2 no longer works at all. A remedy I've received from multiple sources is to reset to factory. If only I could. Whenever I try, it wants to login to my Samsung account, which it can't do without an Internet connection. It just spins and spins. Same when I try to...

    Losing internet connection

    My Galaxy Tab S2 has recently started to lose its Internet connection - when everything else on the same network is doing fine. Trying to reconnect often gives an authentication error, or it just spins and spins. The only thing that helps is restarting the tablet. Anyone else had this happen and...

    New GS7 Edge. I really like the phone, but I'm worried about protecting the wrap screen. Have you found that they are more prone to breaking than the regular flat-screened phones? What kinds of protection are you using? (cases - screen protectors (which I hate, btw)

    Transferring photos from camera to tablet

    For my old Samsung tablet, I had a USB adapter. It allowed me to plug an SD card reader into the tablet. I could use that to transfer my photos from my camera's SC card to the tablet while traveling. It allowed me to organize and edit my photos as I went from place to place without carrying a...

    Help Volume problem on S7

    I'm having a problem with my volume going way down for almost anything on the phone. The alarm won't sound loud enough to hear it, and I can't hear the directions on the GPS.

    I'm just getting used to my new phone and interface. I thought I was deleting one photo, but instead deleted the entire folder of photos. (Fortunately, the phone is new so there aren't too many photos.) I tried finding a solution to recover photos, but didn't find anything that worked. I was...

    Any Advantages to Getting the ATT version over Int'l unlocked phone?

    I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any advantages of getting the ATT version of the phone over the international version that's unlocked. Will they both perform the same on the ATT network?

    Root [AT&T] Rooting and Installing CyanogenMod

    So, if I root a phone and install CyanogenMod, will that do away with the ATT software that was on it before? What about unlocking?
