    Post HRM selftest fails - check yours!!

    Fail. In actual use with S Health a good half of the attempts at reading heart rate are unsuccessful, does this happen with your handset too?

    Post Galaxy Tab S2 thoughts?

    On my 8" I see a faint bluish color alteration watching the screen from any but a perfect 90° angle, but on the whole I still really like it. I'm surprised that even the LTE model doesn't seem to have a notification light - unless mine is not working. Can someone confirm it please?

    Post [Q] S-pen work outside of TouchWiz?

    Is Airview supported? And the palm rejection when the pen tip is close to the screen?

    Post Q: Avoiding Hardware Home Key?

    Same issue as the OP, I'm using LMT with a pie control right on top of the hardware home button.

    Post Install apps on SD Card on Note 8.0 *root

    I'm using FolderMount from Google Play to move specific folders to the SD card, seems to be working well. The internal SD is probably much faster than the external, so I'd rather not do a full swap.

    Post recommend to use gmd app

    I used to love GMD and still use it, but on the Note I'm relying more on LMT for gestures. I have two issues with GMD: The finger and pen versions keep track separately of the recent applications used, which causes problems if you use the Prev App/Next App functions with mixed input. The pen...

    Post Does your Note 8 have backlight bleeding?

    On my unit the bleed is not noticeable on auto brightness - which in low light it's ok for reading but too dim for watching pictures well. Becomes visible, but still not overly distracting, in low light on a black background when brightness is raised to a comfortable level for picture viewing...

    Post [Q] Seems N5110 has no proximity sensor?

    Same here, Proximity Sensor Finder finds nothing. I'm a little disappointed about it but no big deal.

    Post Help with wiping and/or reinstalling busybox

    I had the same problem, stock rom as well. If you check the reviews for Stericson's Busybox on Google Play, the two top ones a few minutes ago both mentioned the same issue. Trying to root again and reinstalling Superuser didn't help, neither did a factory reset (manually salvaging settings and...

    Post Hiding Status Bar

    I'm one of those for who Honeybar worked and Hidebar didn't - it hid the status bar fine but rarely showed it again. Then just recently, after installing a new status bar theme, I gave it another try and surprise! Both Honey and Hide were working. Has to be noted that to show the status bar...

    Post Any chance on Multitasking Gestures?

    You can use Button Savior to duplicate some of the system bar buttons on a small dock. I made an invisible back button, works nicely aside for occasionally covering some element of an interface. If that's a problem you can also set it to pop up with a swipe from the side of the screen. I use...

    Post [REVIEW] Engadget Review

    With mixed use the battery life is around 9 hours for me. Web browsing seems to drain it much faster than video playback.

    Post The Android tablet makers are doing it wrong...

    I find Samsung android tablets just as valid as the iPad, in fact bought a 7.7 for the same price of a high end iPad 2. A few reasons the tab is better than the iPad, for me: Smaller and lighter. I find 7.7 and 8.9 are better compromises between screen size and portability. Better keyboards...

    Post Just got Galaxy Tab 7.7 - what do people want to know?

    I was told there is 1 year warranty through them. I'm laaaate replying here but ... I find tapping more tiring than sliding, so I rooted the device and installed the latest Swype beta ... and it had the same problem =/ Wrote them a bug report, let's see how goes. The stock browser is pretty...
