    Can using a bad outlet damage the battery?

    Ok, I've held off asking this question long enough, but I can't help myself any longer. It's one of those things that gets in my mind and I won't be satisfied until I ask. So the past few months my S4 battery was getting pretty bad. After unplugging it from a full charge and then basically just...

    Easy screen turn on usable in all positions?

    Moving from the S4 to the S7, I was glad to see this feature still included. But I've noticed that unlike on the S4, it doesn't seem to require a flat surface anymore. I've held my S7 up vertically and I could still wave my hand and unlock it. This makes me worry that it might come on at pretty...

    How hot does your phone get?

    I've been using my phone for the past half hour or so, doing basic things like email and web browsing. It's feeling pretty warm and I'm wondering if this is normal. I haven't been doing games or video or anything too intense. Thanks.

    Until yesterday I have been able to access videos, etc, stored on a NAS (d-link if it matters) from a Samsung S2 tablet, and from other devices. Yesterday I changed ISP to Vodafone and got a new router. This is up and running, and otherwise seems OK. I am still able to access my NAS from other...

    How do I open notifications from the lock screen?

    On my Nexus 7 I can just double tap the notification and it opens, but on my S7 this doesn't do anything. Swiping dismisses it, and dragging it up and down will eventually open it with a few more taps, but first it just opens it on the lock screen like a card. Is there a way to just go straight...

    Do Samsung themes work with other launchers?

    I use Nova Launcher, and I'm wondering if the themes in Samsung's theme store are just for TouchWiz. Do they get applied at all (or correctly) if you have a different launcher?

    I've pretty much got my new phone set up, but I wanted to be sure there weren't any lurking settings I may not be aware of that are draining the battery. Anything I should be turning off or changing to help me get a full day? I've been playing around with it a lot, of course, but it still...

    Couple of questions about my new S7

    I got my new S7 today and I'm in the process of setting it all up. One specific thing I looked for was the option to either turn on or off the capacitive buttons on either side of the home button, but I don't see this anywhere. It's annoying how fast they turn off when you use them. Did Samsung...
