This. Exactly my experience too. The replacement phone battery is a bit better (36 hours to go from 100% to 1% with moderate use, no gaming), phone doesn't seem laggy, and most important it does not get as warm as the old one did.

Yes. Me too. And I'm no longer convinced that channel 1 was my fix. Rebooting the router probably did the trick. Hoping its not a temporary fix though...

Don't know if this is your cause, but If it's formatted NTFS it probably won't be recognized. Usually needs to be FAT or exFAT. I have a 64G thumb drive and it worked fine with the adapter that came in the box, so it definitely can work. No app install needed. After you plug in the stick you...

Got the phone today. Awesome device. It connected to my work wifi just fine, great throughput. Came home, set it up on my home wifi, after entering password it connected but no internet throughput. Played with phone settings, deleted and re-added the home network, no good. Finally went into...

Because why??? Enquiring minds want to know...

Hmm, I hadn't considered ADB to computer backup. Wonder if that'll actually work.

Great recommendations, thank you! I recall having tried Helium on my HTC One M8 a couple of years ago before I'd rooted it. It didn't work too well for me back then, but perhaps It's gotten better, so I'll give it another look.

I'll try it too, thanks!

I'm curious, how did your Note 5 get bricked?

Greetings everyone, I'm looking for some advice. For the past 6 years I've had only daily driver phones that were rooted and boot unlocked. On Friday that'll change when my Note 7 arrives, it was simply too compelling a phone to pass up. BUT, the two things I'm sure I'll miss are 1) full device...

Guess I'll just count myself lucky... Maybe I should head over to the casino

Something I just remembered from a previous conversation with Fedex is that the pickup option is available only if there are appropriate pickup locations within a certain distance of your home address. They have to be fairly close geographically. My pickup location is a Fedex Office store...

No, I don't even have a Fedex account... Two possibilities that I can think of: 1) I'm lucky, 2) It was a timing thing and the option becomes available only at a certain point or window in the shipping process. I was checking my status 2 or 3 times daily (OCD) and this morning the Customize...

Fedex "Customize Delivery" Fyi, I had the "Customize Delivery" option available on my FedEx tracking number page, so I switched delivery from my home address to a "Hold for Pickup at Fedex Location" near my house. Three things happened: 1) It worked. 2) The local Fedex Office store called me...

Cringe worthy :-o
