I've bought about 3 now from different suppliers on eBay claiming to be 3D tempered glass for S7 Edge, and all have been the flimsy film-like protectors that are utterly hopeless, and not the hardened plastic-like protectors that I've had for all other phones I've bought them for. Are there any...

On the S4, you could click on the battery graph and it would expand also showing how often your wifi was on/off, gsm signal quality etc. Is there any way of showing this information on the S7?

The one who must be obeyed uses her google calendar extensively (via s-planner) historically in all her previous phones (Notes 1+3). She always used a "mini-today" widget that shows the current day's events. However, on the S7, the only s-planner widget is a monthly view. Is there a way to get...

I saw this car on the way home from work the other day, and it reminded me of a bricked GT-i9100:

I can edit the actual sim card phone number on a rooted phone via Xposed, or I can put the sim card in an old blackberry/sony ericson and do it this way. It just seems strange to me that age-old phones can do this, but it can't be done on any of the Sammy smartphones. Is there an app that...

I've been using Danvdh's (a wonderful developer over on XDA) ROMs for about 6 months now, and for reasons unbeknownst to me, during all of this time, I've never started a thread highlighting this excellent fella's work. Sorry Dan. Historically, through my S2 days, and my initial few months on...

This is a bit of a water tester topic. I'm still on the old bootloader (MGA) with MH1 LTE Modem. I'm wondering if any of you who have upgraded to the new bootloader have noticed any improvements in LTE and wifi (performance/stabilty/reliability)? I'm not bothered at all about tripping knox as...

She who must be obeyed has a Note (N7000) which has been working without issues for almost 2 years, but over this last week it's developed an internet/wifi connection drop-out issue. See thread I know it's for an N7000, but searching this can be a generic problem for any device, and I would...

Her indoors has had this Note for almost 2 years now without any problems, but a strange problem has started over this last week, whereby internet connection keeps dropping. The wifi icon is still in the statusbar with full bars, but no internet. the activity arrows only light up rarely. If I...

These are great UI toolkits for GE/AOSP ROMs. Both require XPosed framework (links in main thread) GravityBox XUIMod

See thread Live updates It's on SamMobile too Won't be long before we'll all be jumping on the Knox bandwagon I guess. :vollkommenauf:

I've seen apps on Play Store to show the unread email counter on the GMail icon, but I was wondering if there is any way to do this without the need to install a 3rd party app (I'm on TouchWiz) Edit: Just installed one of them, and it still isnt showing the counter. It only appears on its own...

I used to like the Daydream clock function of Rootbox on the S2, whereby a dim clock is shown during Daydream mode (settings>display>daydream) Samsung's daydream has all the other completely useless features (colours/photos) but no clock. Typical bloody Sammy! :( If you want the clock...

I have my Wifi policy set to sleep when the screen is off. Settings>Connections>wifi>menu>advanced>Keep wifi on during sleep>never However I've just noticed in the battery graph (settings>more>battery>click on graph) that wifi is being kept on constantly. This used to be a problem on the S2...

I just found this bug on MGA firmware, whereby the View By option always returns to "All Logs" after the Phone app is closed. I usually set this option to "All Calls" so its annoying as every time I go back into the Phone app, I see all my text messages again, and have to reset the option...
