    Signal strength in Europe vs USA

    I was just in France and Switzerland using my S7 from Verizon. I was amazed at how strong the signals were everywhere, even inside large buildings - hotels, on a river boat, on a 7,000 feet mountain and on the train. I do use WiFi calling due to the bad signal here. But, in my house, I only get...

    Email question

    The S5 (Lollipop) had a setting in email where I could delete the email from the phone without taking it off the server. I don't see that option in Marshmallow. Anyone know anything that will help?

    I just got 2 S7s. There is a noticeable difference in the tone of pictures between the two. All the settings are exactly the same. But, one seems a bit brighter than the other. Anyone else see this in their comparisons?

    Moved from S5 and S4 to S7

    I picked them up yesterday (4/15/16). So far everything is looking great.

Really looking forward to using these guys. Any suggestions...

    Help Move to external SD card

    I was under the impression one could not move apps or information to an external SD card in KitKat. Yet, my S5 4.4.2 shows icons that say the app is doing just that without my setting it up that way. Here's a screenshot:

    Firmware update?

    I check on a regular basis for updates to the firmware on my S5 hoping that Lollipop is being put out by U.S. Cellular. Yesterday, I got a message there was an update, so, I updated. However, I am still on 4.4.2. I have no idea what the update did. Anyone have any idea?

    Gave up on S4

    Well, it finally got me to the point I had to trade up (I hope the S5 is up). After losing pictures, not being able to hear phone connections and myriad other issues, I figured it was time to make a change. I am a bit better off, so far. However, I mistakenly thought the S5 had Android 5...

    Help Ringtones changed by S4 and more

    For some reason, my S4 changes my ringtones from the ones I have built and assigned to different contacts back to the default ringtone. Could this be happening when I switch the battery (which I do daily)? It's really a pain to have to go back to twenty contacts and re-establish their...

    S4 upgrade to 4.4.2 on U. S. Cellular

    The 4.4.2 update through the plhone was a disaster on line. The GPS, when turned on, kept flashing, which ate up the battery and heated the S4. I took it to U. S. Cellular and they did a direct connect flash. Now I have to pend the week rebuilding - adding apps back, reentering information...
