    Choosing a microSD card (Samsung Evo Plus vs Evo Select vs ?)

    Sup, guys, I've had the (white and yellowish/orange) Samsung Evo 64GB in my S7 Active for a few weeks, also had it in my Galaxy S5, and the S4 before it, if I remember correctly. I believe I got it when I had the S4, before 64GB was the max microSD card supported... so yeah, that's me, I like...

    Your most intensive games

    What games are you able to pay now that you couldn't before you got S7 hardware? I haven't been to the site in awhile. I went [all StraightTalk] from the terrible Galaxy Centura, to the S3 on Sprint's network, then the S4 on AT&T's network, to an S5 on Verizon's network. AT&T was the best...

    Hey guys

    Well, I see the Active forum has no visitors. I guess everyone is getting support from the s7/s7 edge forums, being that that have the same hardware. I'm just curious if anyone has had any problems from their active. So far, all is well with mine. Was just hoping to have some Active chat.

    Hey guys. Just wondering if there is a way to check if I am tethering? My phone doesn't show up when scanning for wifi networks on my pc or a thing, but juice defender won't disable mobile data and the widget always shows tether when it used to just say data. I've uninstalled and reinstalled...

    SpeedTest

    Hey guys. Would you like to list the type of phone you have, the provider you have it through, and the towers that it's running on? Not a competition or anything, I'm just curious to see what kind of speeds people get. I would prefer a screenshot for proof, but feel free to just type out your...

    Help EXTREME, unkown data usage

    Android SmartWatches

    So, I have had a Sony SmartWatch MN2SW for well over a year, maybe two. I was disappointed with it from the start. Was not as "cool" as I thought it would be. Poor screen quality, super-simple "baby" apps, and it's not even stylish. The only thing I've liked about it is that I can check my...

    MicroSD slot on hotspots

    Just curious if anyone knew what the MicroSD card slots were for on hotspots. For example, I have a ZTE 228L that has a slot for a MicroSD card. Is it nothing more than an SD adapter for your computer if you plug the hotspot in via USB? I've searched around here and there... nothing really...

    Just wanted to say I received my new Anker battery in the mail for my S3 (SCH-S960L). I'm excited to see how it does and just want to see what others have to say. It came with 55% charge and I have it charging now. I hope I got a good one. My OEM battery has just turned a year old, but...

    Battery Dump

    I started having odd problems with fast battery drainage and slow charging whether on a 1 amp charger or 2.1 amp charger so in my research I read something about enabling battery dump. Well I can't find any information about what enabling battery dump actually does. Can anyone grace me with...

    Choosing Busybox

    Hey, fellows, just wondering if there is a particular busybox people prefer on here? I've heard mainly good things about the top 3 or 4 versions on the Play Store. Just wondering if there is one that stood out to you all. I'm on an S3 S960L.
