It showed the Home Screen and indicated Safe Mode in the lower left. The problem is, with this new Safe Mode screen, I do not...

    Car media streaming of my music

    Since Oreo, when I switch car radio to Bluetooth streaming of my phone’s music, I am getting the message that my device is paused. I see no setting to be changed on the car’s audio, and none on the phone. Is this the new default? Anyone else experiencing this, or have a fix?

    Would anyone...?

    ....consider upgrading to the newer Galaxy S8+? On one hand, they both run the same OS, but the S8 has a different & faster processor. Any comments, as I'm thinking about it?

    has anybody done this?

    Now with the newer data (Mobile Share Advantage) plan which increases the number of shared GB from 2 to 3 GB per mo., plus allows roll-over data the same as the older plan, and has no overage charges if your data limit is exceeded, has anybody switched their plan? The cost is the same or...

    selling OEM battery

    This is for a new Samsung Note 4 OEM battery, bought and used for less than a month, now selling.....98% new. Since I just traded my Note 4 in for a Note 5, I no longer can use it. FWIW, instead of China, it's made in Vietnam (as is my Note 5 phone). Asking $10, including shipping, no...

    Beware of your monthly phone insurance option

    Learned that besides the added cost of the phone insurance with my at&t (Asurion), around $10 plus-or-minus $3 each month, if you have a claim, your deductible is about $200 !! Hardly a deal!

    Whyyyy......?

    Just like my Galaxy 4 before it, my Galaxy Note 4 will show I am on WiFi before I even log in. In some instance, such as with my home WiFi, my secure WiFi will automatically log me in, but for the more public WiFi's I use at the multiple facilities I go to, my first sentence applies. When I do...

    initial impression(s)

    Don't know about others but after close to a week with my black Verizon Note 4's, I think this is the best smartphone/small tablet I've yet to experience. It is surprisingly intuitive and fast, and the display brilliant. The Bluetooth and WiFi have worked splendidly. On the flip side, with...

    Missed the $200 Samsung deal, am I done for?

    Does anyone know if you can get either the BB or Samsung rebate if you re-up your 2 yr. contract without being upgrade eligible? I know you would have to pay extra if not eligible, but the rebate would cover much of the penalty money wise.
