I have had my N5 for about two weeks. Been working on getting it set up the way I like. Its funny how you wait and anticipate the release of a new device and run out and get it, then you spend all your time getting it set up just like your old device was set up. Anyway, I purchased a different...

I can't say that this feature was one of the ones that I used extensively, but when I needed it, it was great to have. Now I have run across an occasion that I need it again and it seems to be missing. Does anyone know what happened to Groups in the Contacts app? Any help would be greatly...

OK, so I am probably an idiot, but... I was looking at the actual USB 3.0 connection yesterday and noticed that the large side of the plug looked a lot like a regular USB micro plug. So I tried to insert a micro usb and voila, it worked. The tablet was off at the time and the little battery...

Regrettably I opted to buy the Tab Pro 12.2 for $150 less than the Note Pro 12.2. Now I have run into a need to take some notes in the field and I can do so with a regular stylus using SNote and can actually convert them to text in SNote. It is sort of clunky, but it works. I would love to have...

Can I get added to the list also? Thanks,

I use Google services also to take care of contacts and calendars. I currently use Onedrive to keep my files sync'd up, but have used Dropbox in the past. After subscribing to Office 365 I received a full TB of online storage for each of the 5 installs that comes with the subscription and it...

I have a Verizon Branded, completely stock, not rooted, S4. I just checked my "Me" entry in the contacts list and all it had in it was my first and last name and my cell phone number. I have a contact in my contacts list for myself already will all of my work and home information, just the...

Very specifically, is the Settings section on the Verizon Note 2 supposed to be tabbed? My wife's phone updated a week or two ago and her Settings aren't tabbed. Sorry for not putting this in the general discussion thread, but you can never find anything in there, especially when it has four...

OK, I have an odd problem. Get a cup of coffee, this may be long. My company has an open WiFi network for "casual" use, but it redirects you to a log-in page one time per day when you first log-in. After accepting the disclaimer, you are redirected to our main company page. Here is the...

I have a Verizon Branded Galaxy S4. I keep getting (every 3-4 days) an update notice from Samsung (the little pink or red Purse looking notification Icon) saying that Samsung Apps needs to update. I tap the notification and it goes away, but nothing happens. I don't have a Samsung Apps app on...

For reasons that I won't bother going into, I would like to use Odin to completely replace my stock image on my phone with a new one. I don't want to root, I just want to replace the stock 4.3 image with the same. My problem is, I can't find an "official" stock Verizon 4.3 image. Can anybody...

I promise that I did search for this, but I couldn't find the thread. I know its here somewhere, but... Anyway, on the S4 the ringtone is supposed to gradually get louder for a second or two before hitting full volume. What actually happens is it rings really soft for a second and then...

Since the upgrade, I have done a Factory Reset from the Recovery Menu. Since then I am frequently getting the message in the screenshot about blocking an attempt to access a secure area. Has anyone seen this or know anything about it? It is quite annoying since it wants you to upgrade your...

I just got the 4.3 update and have found a new feature that I particularly do not like. I utilize folders on my home screen to help keep things neat and tidy. After the 4.3 update, when I open a folder to run a shortcut, the folder is still open when I return from the app. Anybody know if...

I know that I can set S-Voice to go into Driving Mode in the settings using the bluetooth connection, but this isn't exactly what I want. I want to use Setting Profiles to activate S-Voice Driving Mode when I am connected to my car's bluetooth AND have the charger plugged in. I have the rule...
