    Samsung Cloud is apparently a huge battery sucker

    So after the recent update and me activating Samsung Cloud, I noticed my battery life worsening. Normally, my phone eats up 8-9%/hr on active use (online gaming with Clash Royale), and around 2%/hr on standby (dual sim with 4G on). I noticed that lately it's been worse, reaching 16%/hr in...

    What themes from the store look good?

    I used to use AMOLED Black and Blue. The problem is that the latest update changed the gallery app, which that theme doesn't handle properly. The album names are in black, on a black background, rendering them invisible. I'd like a new black theme which doesn't put the icons in black...

    Greenify seems to not work properly

    So I got greenify because people say it works great. My battery issue has more to do with large drain when internet it on (4G/WiFi). I think it's network related, since when I am not connected I only have around 0.6%/hr battery drain, jumping to 3% per hour on WiFi and 5% per hour on 4G. Since I...

    For Lightflow users

    Please star this Android feature request by the Lightflow Dev. So we can get Lightflow working properly on the S7. Samsung's implementation created problems. If this API is availably on OS level, we'll have less problems going forward...

    Anybody try Smart Switch for PC/Mac?

    I just downloaded the one for PC and backed up my phone. Now I can't for the life of me remember if SmartSwitch transferred app data as well when I moved from my old Note 2 to this new phone. Does anyone know if the PC/Mac versions also store app data? And pleasant surprise is that Smart Switch...

    Power Bank

    I have already fast charging disabled. However there's something I noticed. The drain of the S7 on my 9000mah powerbank is staggering. It drained 28% of the bank to charge up around 13%. That 28% is already nearly 2520mah, converted to 468mah. In comparison, my Galaxy V (1500mah full capacity)...

    What will you be downloading?

    Yup. Usually offers like that only last a day. There's the usual free app of the day, then the seasonal 100+++USD giveaways for a day.

    Whats the Best Antivirus for Android Mobile?

    Well, that would never happen. Because the phones will never get infected by a virus because virus for Android doesn't exist. Even BitDefender Antivirus isn't an Antivirus in the same sense as it is in a PC. It's an anti-theft app, a privacy advisor, and a malware detector. Basically it just...

    do you spend your $$$ on in IAP's?

    ^This. Usually in games like Clash of Clans, everything is already unlocked, except for additional builder huts which cost gems. But then you earn gems as you play. You even get random boxes of 25gems every now and then. Paying money just makes you build stuff faster. I play to pass time, not to...

    Google Play Music Equalizer Bass Boost Grayed Out

    Just to get the obvious out, are you positively sure that it can be adjusted before without headphones?

    Whats the Best Antivirus for Android Mobile?

    In terms of Bitdefender being trustworthy, it is. I've been using it as the AV on all our PCs at home for the past 6years, where it also has been consistently the editor's choice for best AV among almost all trustworthy review sites and independent AV labs. If I remember correctly, Kaspersky and...

    google maps issues with point location

    That's a bit difficult to assess on a non-supported version anymore. Have you tried clearing the app cache?

    Anyone familiar with BlueStacks?

    By Hybrid, you mean it's running full Windows Desktop version, but can detach from the keyboard as a tablet right? Which basically means there's almost nothing you'll miss from Android except games.

    google maps issues with point location

    Have you updated to the latest version yet? I have Google Maps 8.4.1, and I can still long press on a location and get the popup.

    What will you be downloading?

    Honestly, I just download everything when sales like these happen. Never know when one may come handy. Besides, even if you choose cancel and not install the download, the license is already tied to your account so you can redownload it again no charge.

    Facebook app always showing location?

    Weirdly, I don't have that on my Facebook app.

    No Contact/Calendar Integration at all? Huh?

    Maybe it's because I'm using a Samsung. S Planner has this feature. There is an 'add participants' option in the make event section, and it allows you to select from contacts who the event is related to. A link appears in the event.

    Facebook app always showing location?

    You mean in Messenger? Or you mean the actual Facebook app where it says 'lives in xxxx'? The first part you can turn off in messenger settings. The latter one is changed in the Facebook profile privacy settings on a PC.

    downloading pics.

    Plug the phone into the computer. Look in MyComputer. You should see your phone there. Go into the folders and look for DCIM. Your pictures are in there.

    App that can lock screen and local wipe after unsuccessful attempts?

    You can send erase command via SMS, no need for internet. Although of course that depends on the app you have. Encrypting the phone would also help.

    Different notification sounds for different contacts?

    There's an option in there that allows you to see all the other apps that. I think it's more notifications or something. Been a while since I use Lightflow. It's a one time charge.

    Different notification sounds for different contacts?

    Facebook and Messenger are available only on the premium version of Lightflow

    S Planner Date in parentheses

    Just opened it on my phone and I still don't have that. So I honestly don't know.
