I read on another site where someone said reset all app preferences/permissions, that seems to have fixed it, not sure why and it sucks approving everything again, but at least my phone is charged in the morning and I don't have to wake up and check it 30 times a night Sent from my SM-G930V...

Hey guys, I have a galaxy s7 on Verizon that was working fine with no issues until about a week ago. I use a Samsung wireless fast charging pad by my bed for charging overnight. The last week I have an issue where I set the phone on the pad, the phone says wireless fast charging connected...

Well it appears to be working again, I cracked my screen already on my phone, so I got a new one through insurance. Fired it up last night and the Gmail app is pushing as normal not sure if it was an update , I had the app set to stop syncing before maybe it worked with the old phone after an...

Hi, I'm having two separate issues with incoming calls. Either it doesn't ring and goes straight to voicemail, or when I try to answer it if I just get silence and I can't hear anything from the other person. this happened both before and after the OTA Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I just got the pop up for the OTA too...anyone had luck with it? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Weird, it works fine on my old rooted s5... New stock s7... Nope, the Samsung app works but I like the gmail one better Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Anyway to adjust the texting cut off time on okay Google . What having issues with this is not letting me speak a full sentence before it stops and says okay would you like to send message or change. I tried texting my wife saying "I'm on my way home do you need me to pick anything up ." As soon...

Got my new verizon s7 sat. I can't get Gmail to push new emails, it only works if I open the app and manually refresh. I have tried wiping cache and data for the app, ensured that the sync Gmail in settings >accounts is on.... which it seems to get hung up there occasionally, I see the...

so no one is having the issue with layers manager trying to update endlessly?

Having issues with "layers manager" it keeps wanting to update and trying to download over abd over but it won't update. I tried clearing the data with TiBu, and settings, and uninstalling, but no luck. Play store keeps trying to update it unsuccessfully. Any ideas?

well i have a GS5 rooted with alliance rom and safestrap recovery. The screen got a tiny little hairline crack in it but wont turn on. The phone still boots but the screen is dead. The issue is when i try to plug it into my laptop it defaults to verizon installer NOT media device. With out...

OK so as you have noticed kit kat does NOT allow third party apps to write to the SD card, this is stupid, but lucky for us we have a fix IF you are rooted we have 2 solutions 1) using root explorer or something similar go to Quote: /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and enter the...

Coming from the galaxy s4 on Sprint it had the ability to sync my contacts with my Samsung account, but on the gs5 I can't figure out how to do this. Under settings... accounts... Samsung it only says sync calander, on the gs4 I could sync contacts too, any ideas?

Open the camera, hit settings, turn off picture stabilization, it gets rid of that and the camera almost instant, MUCH better pics

If you are rooted and do the fix I listed above and then reboot you should be able to change the directory it saves to, if not uninstall and reinstall the app and all should be fine

well it was worth a try, lol, easy to reverse, no root on VZW yet, so no TiBu.... so no Freeze, figured it was worth a try, lol

moving apps to SD... yes.... having them save their data to SD, not so much... unless you are rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726674

great, i was pretty sure flashing recovery or stock .tar with odin would work, but i am not 100% lol

so on my Verizon Galaxy S5 i tried through app manager to turn off google services framework, (no root acess on the VZW GS5 yet) it broke the play store and for some unknown reason killed the widget for rocket player, not a huge deal i just turned it back on a rebooted and could load the widget...

awesome glad you got it fixed

have you tried Odin'ing the stock tar back on? i thought that usually fixes it, but please do a lil searching first before trying that

it will move the app but not allow you to save the play list or anything unless you do that fix

from TiBu you need to go to settings and change the defult back up location to the external SD card, if it still says can not write to folder then SDFix did not work and you will need to follow the steps in the first post to manually edit it as far as moving apps to SD i am not sure as i have...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715657 run the app SDFix from the market, if that doesnt work then the manual fix is in that link

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715657 you can try running the app SDFix from the market, that SHOULD fix it, for a few of us we still had to manually modify the platform.xml for some reason, the steps are in that thread

this is a sprint issue you need to wait until they finialy decide to update their towers to handle the new triband phones, they claim they will be done with all the updates by the middle of the summer, i got sick out their sub-par coverage and took all my lines over to verizon... no regrets...

i briefly considered the m8 because i like HTC and i do use my phone for music a lot, BUT the removable battery and water resistance was enough to keep me with samsung for one more round. The removable battery and sd card were what pushed me from htc to the GS4 last year, after having the gs5...

same here, been with sprint 13 year, rooted/jailbroken/hacked/tweaked every flagship device they had, they had great customer service, but they data/cell blows goats for quarters. what is it about the VZW version that makes it hard to root, i honestly dont know, we had root acess in 4 hours...

settings>sound> go to the samsung applications section, you can adjust everything individually there... call, messages, email, calander

go to settings>apps turn off all the bloat apps you dont use go to settings>wifi>advanced turn off always allow scanning , set keep wifi on during sleep to only when plugged in, turn off notifications, turn off smart switch go to settings>motions and gestures and also air view turn off...

the only way i see it being an issue, is if the case you have it tightly fitting to the point where when you take it off it pulls at the battery door opening it slightly, many cases do this, AND if you try to take the case off soon after getting the phone wet and there is water inbetween the...

yup, on sprint all i had to do was kill the page, verizion doesnt seem to all you to do the infinite scroll, even in the app drawer, weird, i wonder if there is a setting somewhere?

is this what you are needing for the Verizon GS5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714516 please say yes, LOL

if you are rooted the answer is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715657 if not then we have to wait for a android update i think

sorry, if you are not rooted i dont think there is a fix until an android update that adresses this issue comes out

if SDFix doesnt work for you, follow the manual edit steps on post 1, make it look EXACTALLY like the image attached, that will fix it

i had the same issue where SDFix didnt work for me at first check out my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715657 the fix is in the first post, i'm not in the sprint section much anymore since i jumped ship and ran to verizon, pm me if you run into any more trouble

that worked on my sprint GS5 but not the Verizon one, i got rid of the magazine but it gets to one end of my pages and stops scrolling, kinda irritating, any ideas anyone?

1. long press on the recent apps button while looking at one of your home screens, or long press on the home screen to get your scrren menu then hit "home screen settings" uncheck "my magizine" to get rid of the magazine tab 2. go into camera and hit settings turn off picture stabilization to...

crazy how much bloat ware verizon put on this thing, the Sprint version was very slimmed down, polar oppoisite of this, lol

long press on the recent apps button (or one of the home screens) to bring up the screen menu, hit "home screen settings" then uncheck "my magizine"

happened on swype too over the last week with me when i was on Sprint GS5 rooted slimmed down, something in the android os is killing the memory, i had good luck running "fast reboot" everyonce in a while

what is your carrier? depending one your carrier, you can un-root by Odin flashing the stock .tar to get back to "stock" (with out data wipe or losing anything) upgrade, the CF-root again, i WAS on sprint and went back and forth from rooted to "enforcing" several times and never lost a single...

really... takes a long time... compared to WHAT? LOL i honestly cant speak to the Verizon version since i just got it today, but i have had the sprint version for a week, it charges AMAZINGLY fast, the battery lasts forever, and if it is plugged in i literally cant kill it, i had a GS4 slimmed...

i had almost the same results on my rooted Sprint GS5 with all the samsung stuff, and bloatwhere turned off
