    Post Wireless Charging Paused Problem - Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+

    No, I haven't just because I don't own one. I guess I might try to take my phone over to the Best Buy Samsung store and hopefully they have one I can try it on there - that way if it doesn't work on that one either, then that would let me know that perhaps I just have a bad phone with faulty...

    Post Wireless Charging Paused Problem - Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+

    Over the weekend I did more test with my 5 various 3rd party Qi Fast Wireless Chargers (Choetech, Nektek, Yooteck, etc). All worked fine with my S7 Edge so long as I was using a Quick Charge 2.0 Charger and a decent cable. I had no issues. None have worked with my S8+ though the Nektek seems to...

    Post Wireless Charging Paused Problem - Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+

    I have the same issue. I had 6 Fast Wireless Chargers from various brands that I used with my S7 Edge and all worked great. Now that I have the S8+ only one of them works. Why that one - I have no idea. But the other 5 do not work regardless of charging adapter or cord I use. The standard...

    Post Wireless Fast Charger, which ones?

    They are all different styles and 5 different brands. Actually only 1 of the 6 works. The other 5 do not. I tried them all with the same power cord/charger then switched it up to see if it had anything to do with the power supply (all Quick Charge though) and that did not seem to be the issue...

    Thread Not all Fast Wireless Qi Chargers Working

    I have had the S7 Edge for the last year. Because I love fast wireless charging, over that time I collected 6 different Fast Wireless Qi Chargers. They all worked great with the S7 Edge. However, in testing them with my new S8+, ONLY two of them work. The other 4 do not work. Instead it...

    Post Wireless Fast Charger, which ones?

    Just an FYI - I had about 6 Fast Wireless Charging stands/pads that I used with my S7 Edge - everyone of them worked perfectly. However, with this new S8+ phone, only 2 of the 6 work. The other ones give an error where they go into a loop saying "Fast Wireless Charging" then immediately...

    Post Swtiched to S8+ from S7E, and I am not sure it is worth the upgrade, you?

    I agree that the S8+ is not a "big" of an upgrade over the S7Edge as maybe I've been used to in upgrading phones in the past. There are a a few little things and the upgraded hardware should make for a better overall experience, but this is not a huge upgrade really plus I've had some issues...

    Post Unknown Sources Doesn't Stay Enabled Permanently

    Have same issue. Never had this issue before with S7 Edge and was not rooted. The permission just doesn't stay like it should.

    Post [APP][MOD]Samsung Milk Music Modded for ANY device no root required

    Works great for me except that I'm using it on a tablet that is permanently mounted in landscape and it only shows in portrait so it's sideways...

    Post Request - Tasker Interface

    Hello - is there a step-by-step set of instructions for TaskS2? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to have a favorites list. When I open the app I see "Menu" at the top and then my list of Tasker Tasks (actually, not all of them because I have around 100 Task on my phone and it appears I...

    Thread 3rd Party USEFUL Always On Display app?

    Coming from a Droid Turbo, Moto's AOD was awesome. Always showed me the time and icons for any notifications - if I wanted more info, I tapthe notification and get a peek (still on AOD) at the info, then could open my phone directly to that app by dragging up. In contrast, I find Samsung's AOD...

    Post Gear S2 promo?

    Not sure where that "little paper" is from, but the activation fee IF you want to activate the watch is $20 ($40 is for activating a phone). The Monthly fee to add the watch to your plan is $5 + taxes/fees (so probably $8/month). And you can terminate it at any time. (Again the $350 early...

    Post How is the battery life on your Verizon s7 edge

    I'd say battery life is fairly good. I don't tweak settings to "make up" for lack of battery so I have wifi, bluetooth, & gps always on. Location services always on. Pretty much all the extra stuff on. On a typical day of use, my battery is low once I get home from work (10-12 hours) and will...

    Post Bluetooth keeps disconnecting

    I've been having this issue as well - it happens when I'm not on a call and unfortunately when I am, which really sucks. Have had my car for a long time with many different phones so definitely not the car. Gonna try the bluetooth share tip from above - hopefully, that fixes it.
