    Help USB Device Not Recognized

    I think this is happening since the Lollipop update, but it seems I would have come across the problem earlier. Has there been some other update since Lollipop? When I plug my Samsung S5 into my PC, I get the popup error message USB Device Not Recognized. I went to Samsung website and...

    Help S5 with Lollipop update - problem uploading photos to Cloud

    When I take photos on the S5, I share them to the Amazon Cloud. That way, I can access them from my PC or Kindle Fire HD. This worked fine with my Motorola Droid Maxx and with my new Samsung S5 - until I updated to Lollipop. At least, I think it's since the OS update. Now, even though I seem to...

    Help Portrait orientation photos and videos not rotated automatically

    All the pictures I've taken in portrait mode are being displayed in landscape mode and I have to rotate them clockwise manually. Even the video came out oriented incorrectly but I don't know how to rotate it. This did not happen with the Droid Razr Maxx HD. Is there some setting I've missed?

    Accessories Is it safe to use a standard micro usb charger?

    The S5 comes with the weird double-port charger and the instructions give dire warnings about using not using an unapproved charger. I bought my S5 at Costco and they gave me a standard micro USB car charger. I'm assuming it's safe to use -- is it? What is the purpose of the second (tiny) port...

    Help How do you stop automatic downloading?

    When I buy any music, it immediately starts downloading the entire album to my KFHD and I don't think I hit Download All. I tend to buy the Big Box classical albums that have, like, 100 tracks, so I don't want to fill up my device!! In any case, I want to pick and choose from the 100 songs. How...

    Help Side loading?

    My daughter gave me a 7" KFHD for Christmas and so far I love it - great picture and sound quality. It even has a camera, although front-facing only, and we didn't know that. My only disappointment is the limited Amazon app store and the inability to use the Google Play Store. I downloaded...

    Any difference in screen size

    Is there any difference at all in screen size/shape between the Razr HD and the Razr Maxx HD? The reason I ask is because I bought Verizon screen protectors for my Maxx HD and I think they gave me ones for Razr HD. I don't know for sure because the salesman never gave me the original packet...

    Help Buzzing when placed near other equipment

    Does know what could be causing this? At work, whenever I place my Maxx on my desk near my two computer monitors, after a while I hear a loud buzz -- and I'm not sure where it's coming from. It also happened when I was in a conference room once and placed the Maxx near the conference phone...

    Is this normal?

    There seems to be a lot of issues being reported since the JB update. Is this normal when a new OS is released?

    Help setting phone to vibrate only?

    I had set my phone to toggle between ring or vibrate. Today, it will only toggle between ring or silent. In settings, I have it set to Vibrate when ringing. It does vibrate when I have the sound on, but I can no longer set it to vibrate without it ringing! What am I doing wrong?? Update: I...

    Help Camera - is this a feature?

    I started off by trying to compare the RMHD camera with my Droid X in indoor low light. When I compared my RMHD picture with the DX, while it was slightly less grainy, the color looked horrible! The DX colors were warm and close to the actual scene, whereas the RMHD were bluish and washed out...

    Thos pesky screen protectors!

    I bought a 3-pack of screen protectors at the Verizon store last night and the sales clerk installed one for me. After I left the store and went shopping elsewhere, I noticed that there were a couple of bubbles. I could feel them and they wouldn't push out so I suspected they weren't just...

    Help Apps that don't work on this phone?

    I haven't installed many apps or games since I got my new phone so I don't know if this problem relates to the phone or to the JB update. The one app I did install immediately because I use it a lot is Audible, and that works fine, both before and after the update. However, today I installed...
