I absolutely love my S7 Edge, it's my best smart phone by far. I have to really nitpick to find things I don't like. Definitely a step up from my S4, M8, and Note 4. However, I do have one thing I would like to figure out. I've had this pet peeve for many of my phones, including my brand new S7...

So I've replaced my phone twice because people can't hear me when I make a call, unless I put it on speaker. I use Bluetooth audio and voice through my car stereo and that works fine. The problem is when I'm not in my car. I've tested it enough to be sure the microphone works. However, there...

My M8 isn't even recognized by my laptop when I plug it in anymore. I use a working cable, and plug it in and nothing happens. No symbol on the phone for choosing the type of connection, and nothing shows up on the laptop either. It isn't showing in the file explorer either. I'm stock 4.4.4 and...

Just the last few days, anytime I plug my phone in, it shows something on the status bar I hadn't seen before. It says "Cloud Gallery Hiding duplicate images". The thing is. I turned off Dropbox automatic upload, and I use Google Photos through Google +. None of them have that symbol of a cloud...

When I'm using the Facebook app and click a link, instead of opening up in Chrome which is the only one I use, it opens up some other browser. I can't find any stock browser on my phone to disable, so how do I make Chrome the default browser and shut off this other one? Chrome is all I've used...

Ran all updates and factory reset. All stock, but sometimes the camera says it won't open and crashes. Reboot always fixes it but I want a permanent solution. I'm on 4.4.4 and Sense 6.0, on Verizon with my M8. Not rooted or unlocked. Factory reset less than 2 weeks ago, issue has happened only...

Does my M8 with 4.4.3 have a malware scanner or antivirus built in? A friend with a iPhone 5 got a spammer virus on FB messenger. If she can have that, isn't Android more open, or is that a myth? Do I need to download lookout or something else? Mine hasn't done that but since I like messenger...

Without rooting, is there an app or some way to make the screen time out at a different time than the screen lock activates? My S4 could do this. All I want is the screen to time out when I want (30 seconds, 1 minute, etc) but the SCREEN LOCK to happen 30 minutes or more later or instantly with...

So I have friends waiting on this phone. Problem is they will pass due to no IP67 rating. #fail #samdung Since they have no real advantage anyhow, I'm happy with my M8.

Sometimes I can't send pictures. It doesn't matter if I'm using Textra or the stock app. It also doesn't matter if I use quick pic or the gallery. I have good coverage and I have Textra set to unlimited MMS size. It also doesn't matter if the person on the other end is on WiFi or not so if their...

So I was gonna type a text in Textra. I typed the first letter of a name and then all my old contacts show up. Not only do long since deleted ones show up, though they were many phones ago, but ones that don't even have that letter in it! Also, phone numbers from Craigslist replies I didn't even...

Is there a way I can have emoji on my M8 with the Google keyboard and stock text app?

Quick question. Why does my M8 almost always give me the name of the caller/business when I receive calls (when I haven't saved it as a contact) but my S4 rarely did if the contact wasn't already saved in my phone?

Without rooting, is it possible to set up my screen to time out whenever I choose (30 seconds, a minute, etc) but the screen not to actually LOCK unless I press the power button? This would be so nice when I listen to music in my car. That way it would charge faster than the screen being on but...

I'm not gonna recap my whole story but it's posted in the Lounge. I just want solid hardware and good signal and the front facing speakers would be good too. I'm tired of replacing my phone an average of every 3 months. I use very little stock Samsung apps other than the clock and calendar but...

Why does my battery sometimes drain nearly 5% per hour in a good coverage area when it's in my pocket and 80% of that is "media"? Gsam battery monitor tells me this. What the heck? Anyone else seen this?

A friend of mine broke the screen on her Droid HD. It will turn on, ring ,etc but the screen is black. I already told her I can get pictures, video, etc off of it but can I extract the contacts to a vcf file so I can save them in Google? I can easily do this when I can use the screen but I have...

I used to have my PIN lock screen all set up and once I typed in the number, the screen instantly unlocked. Now when I do this, it takes about an extra second before actually unlocking. I know a second isn't a long time. However why would KitKat cause this? I have to wait an extra second before...

I'm just putting this out there for comments that may help clear some things up. I want to learn all I can. I have a Galaxy S4 on Verizon since the day after launch last year. For the most part I love it. The only issue is this is my 3rd replacement due to a headphone jack issue. That issue...

So this isn't a joke or prank. It happened to me this morning. I went to send a text and it froze up and all my text history was deleted. I sent another and it did it again. After a battery pull, all my texts were back except the second one. This has never happened before, not even close. Is...

What's the best emoji app for my S4 since I use the STOCK text app and GOOGLE keyboard. I don't want to use the stock Samsung keyboard or another text app. Thanks!

So I got my Verizon Galaxy S4 the day after the (late) launch day. I wanted something new, exciting, nice, and with the potential to last a couple years. If you want to know my full smart phone story, it's in the lounge area. It is my first Samsung smart phone. This is my summarized review and...

Could I have been sent a developer's edition by accident with my most recent (3rd) replacement? I ask this because one time I rebooted my phone while it was in my car mount and it booted into recovery. It gave me multiple options in different colors. Keep in mind I've never rooted this phone or...

Is there a way I can keep data and WiFi on but turn voice off? I have a Galaxy S4 stock and unrooted and I'm not going to root it. And no, it doesn't matter why I want to do this so I won't say why.

Why does my phone use 4% per hour on airplane mode instead of 0.5% per hour like it used to? According to GSAM Battery Monitor, 65 % is "App Usage". Of that, "Kernel (Android OS) takes up 35%, and "Google Services" is 12%. It says it was kept awake nearly the whole time. I'm fresh on my 3rd...
