I'm still on an unlimited plan. I have a S6 because I use my parents' upgrades on Verizon and give them my old phones. My dad is eligible for an upgrade (if they still do that?). Could I use it to pre-order the S7 and get the free Gear VR?

S6 speedtest http://i.imgur.com/0w0fcWj.jpg - 16.78Mbps MacBook speedtest http://i.imgur.com/7nzu3Ob.png - 55Mbps I did the tests separately, one right after the other. The results are always the same, for the past 3 weeks since I go the S6. I don't have any custom settings on anything...

I've tried multiple times to capture slow motion video. While recording, I can see that the image skips and sticks. Sure enough, when I play it back the skips and stutters are in the video itself. This makes slo motion unusable if it's not smooth. My S5 did a pretty good job at with slow motion...

I have tried a Moga Hero and Pro Power. They both work for a moment, but then will stop controlling anything. The icon is still in the notification bar (sometimes) and the Bluetooth settings say Moga Pro 2 HID is connected (sometimes), but pressing the controller buttons stops responding. The...

Sometimes I don't get notification for new emails in my exchange server Email app. It worked fine for a year. It seems like the notifications might stop if the Email app had an email open last time I used it (opposed to viewing the list of emails), but I'm not sure if that has anything to do...

Overall, my Verizon Galaxy S5 is working pretty well, but it has started doing something strange. A few times each day, I get a "Unfortunately, _____ has stopped" message. A few times, I've noticed that "travel wallpaper" is the app that has stopped. "Wi-Fi Direct share" is another app that gets...

I have Verizon S5 with towelroot, Safestrap, nandroid backup, Titanium Backup, Xposed, Wanam I've made some progress debloating and customizing, but there are some more things I'd like to do: 1. Remove Quick Settings from notification panel - In landscape view, there is simply not enough...

I have a Verizon Galaxy S5. I've always been afraid to root, but I hate TouchWiz and bloatware so much that I had to try. I'm regretting it. I just used towelroot and tried to install SuperSU, Titanium Backup, and Wanam Xposed. I tried to research as much as I could, but it's still all new to...

I quickly ran out of space on my S5. Not sure how, I don't have excessive apps or media. So, I got a 32GB SD card. I have a Mac and use Android File Transfer to get files to and from the S5. I can't find any of the recent photos or videos I have taken. I assume they automatically started going...

I like to occasionally take the photo sphere pics that the Google Camera app can do. It seems like the lens blur/focus effect is more flexible in the Google Camera. What advantages are there to the S4 camera app? Also, sometimes the S5 camera app asks me to hold the phone still for a very...

My previous phone would connect and start playing music immediately when I turned the car back on. With the S5, I have to tap the Bluetooth button, which turns Bluetooth off, tap it again to open it, then select my car audio every time. I tried deleting the pairing from both my phone and the...

I just switched from a Galaxy Nexus. My SIM card set up the phone, but my text messages didn't show up. I have used SMS Backup+ for a long time. I used the "restore" function and it took a long time to load like 17,000 messages, but I don't see the messages anywhere. I tried the restore twice...

Thanks to Nova Launcher I have gotten my S5 simplified to be more like pure Android. The only problem I still have (that I've found) is the huge row of 'buttons' on the top of the Notification Panel. When I pull down the panel in landscape, there is hardly any room to view my notifications...

I just switched to Samsung from years of pure Android. I kind of like the keyboard because of the number row, but I'm not sure about the voice input. Is there any option besides holding down the key, then selecting the mic icon? If I'm wanting to use the voice recognition, it's probably because...

I don't really know anything about launchers, but I keep noticing people recommending things like Nova Launcher, Google Now Launcher, Buzz Launcher, etc. Personally, I'm happy with the stock Android that I use on my Nexus 7. I just got a S5. I don't totally hate TouchWiz, but I'd prefer to not...

I've been using Google Music from the beginning, so I have a lot of experience with it. For some reason, the last time I added a few new albums to my music collection, Music Manager acted like the 12k songs I already had in the cloud weren't there anymore. So, it went through an upload of...

Once a year or so, I have to complain about the fact that my Verizon Galaxy Nexus isn't able to turn off the blinking LED after I check a text message. I use Handcent and Light Flow. It seems like it worked for a few months this year, but lately it's back. I have to open the Light Flow app in...

When I take my phone backpacking, I usually start the next day with a new battery. There usually isn't signal when I wake up. The time will be incorrect, which sucks because I want to know what time it is. And any pics I take that morning will have a timestamp of 1999 and the wrong time. Is...

Every time I try to copy a file using Android File Transfer, it sticks around 16kb, then says it can't copy the file. Then it give the 'Can't access device storage' message and Android File Transfer automatically closes. I used to copy files all the time this way. I've reset my computer and...

While I'm sure there is info here, I tried searching and didn't find any. I have a GN and supposedly have NFC. The S3 commercial keeps showing the tap to transfer stuff, but I have no idea how to use it. I tried installing "File Expert" and sending a file with NFC tapping. But when I...

I only used AutomateIt to trigger "volume off" when I open the Camera app - so I'll never have to worry about making a sound when I take a picture. That's all I want to do. It has been one of my biggest gripes with Android since the beginning. I never want to hear a sound for the camera...

I'm going to Vancouver and wonder if I can pre-load maps (so I don't use roaming data) and use my GN as GPS.

I'm going out of the country and want to make sure I don't use data, but want to be able to make/receive phone calls if necessary. How?

I live in the US and have Verizon. What options are there for using my phone in Canada? Will there be insane roaming charges? Actually, any info about using a GN in any country is appreciated!

Sometimes I'll get a text that I didn't realize was sent to multiple people. Then, when I respond, everyone gets the response. How can I tell when that happens? Seems ridiculous that I can't tell when I'm sending a response to multiple people. I usually use Handcent.
