I've been getting this message lately. Seems like when I leave an area where there was no or little service, like in a basement of a concrete building or a parking garage. I have to power off and back on to get service again. Which means I need to wait about two or three minutes for the phone...

Is there a way to keep the lock screen on longer? It seems to turn off within about 5 seconds sometimes, though at other times it may stay on for maybe 15 seconds. Sometimes, I turn it on, but before I can swipe or fingerprint the device, the screen is already off again.

Does the Qi wireless charging support the rapid charging (9V I think) feature of the Note 5? That is, if you have rapid charge charger connected.

On my old Droid X, there was a calibrate compass feature, but I can't seem to find it on the Note II. The compass appears to need calibrating, because when using GPS Status for an example, the compass doesn't always appear to point north. Also, though I'm not sure it's related, the arrow on...

Well, I cracked the glass again. Sigh..... So, if I get a replacement phone that already has 4.3 on it, is it possible to root it? My cracked device was rooted in 4.1.2 and so I had to install a custom ROM in order to get root. I guess the big question is if the bootloader is unlocked on...

Is there a way to get the TouchWiz Accuweather widget to run in the Nova launcher? It seems that only the TouchWiz version updates the weather clock on the Galaxy Gear watch. It would be nice to have it work with Nova as well. I did install the Accuweather application from the Play Store, but...

Since the latest YouTube upgrade, I no longer have YouTube on my Apps pages. I can create a widget to load it from the home screen, but it's not in the App Drawer. I checked on both the default TouchWiz and Nova Home pages. Does it appear on your App Drawer?

Since last week, I can't seem to send attachments (pictures, contact cards, &c) anymore. I did try the Hangouts version of messaging, then switched back to the stock messaging. But not no attachments go through. They all fail to send. Regular text messages are fine though. I uninstalled the...

I keep getting this pushpin notification in the notification bar. When I go to the notifications settings it says "Keeping requested music - paused". When I click on it, it opens Google Music under Download queue. The queue appears to be empty and the background says "Tap a pin to keep an album...

Is there a way (hard/soft ware) to change the delay for the power switch to turn the screen off? When I grab the phone out of my pocket or hand it to someone to see a photo, I/they usually end up grabbing the phone by the power button, which then kills the screen and you have to push the power...

I got a replacement phone, but, although the contacts imported fine, their pictures didn't. Is there a way (or app) to copy the contact pictures from the original device to the new one. I don't use Facebook, I just want my contact pictures from the original phone.

Did there used to be a "send to voice mail" option for contacts? I can't seem to find it on my Note II.

Are there any Launchers with different screens for landscape and portrait modes? Sometimes widgets that fit nicely in portrait don't work so well in lancscape beacuse they get stretched. It would be nice to configure them differently in landscape.

I thought driving mode was supposed to read text messages to you when turned on. I turned it on and am using the stock messaging, but it doesn't seem to to read them. Is there something else you need to do?

The Samsung keyboard just quit swiftkeying. Was working previously, but now when I try it doesn't work anymore. When I go into the settings, the checkbox for Swiftkey Flow is checked but greyed out, I can't uncheck it anymore. I tried the Reset settings and that didn't do anything. Any ideas?

UPDATE: Yahoo.com blocks ##########@vtext.com messages. If you send from other email accounts, it works but not from Yahoo. I used to be able to send text from my email to my phone by entering the phonenumber@vtext.com. But not anymore. According to Verizon's vtext.com page, you should...

When I select "Advanced Edit" from the menu in the Photo Gallery, it brings up the Paper Artist editor. I really don't want to use that app, but one that allows you to crop, change color settings, etc. More like Photo Editor v 1.3.5 from the Play Store. So is there any way to change the editor...
