    Post Random audio ads playing - Help!!!

    I would uninstall all the 'free' apps you installed one by one till it stops. It is an ad that one of them is feeding you, a reset won't help if you reinstall all those apps back.

    Post [APP][4.0+] AudioBT: Use Bluetooth headset for GPS and notification audio

    Actually I downloaded the test app and verified it works on my Sony running 6.0.1 prior to purchasing. I assume you did the same as suggested in the description of the app prior to purchasing. From what I've read in the posts it appears to be a known Samsung issue.

    PC Companion works, I'm not as happy with it as I want to be. If it disconnects for any reason and you didn't tell it to disconnect it seems finicky about connecting back again to any computer, my home and work computers work the same, until you reboot the phone. I miss Samba :( but haven't...

    Post Battery drain, especially at idle

    I'm in the US, never reflashed firmware after my Clove purchase. My phone uses about 2% batter over my sleep cycle, probably closer to 1% but once in a while I notice 2% most likely due to where it is in the percentage cycle when I set it aside for the night.

    Yes, but that isn't always the case. Many folks just want to blame someone else and have them pay for the mistake.

    Post Glass cracking by itself

    If the car in front of me kicked up a rock then I don't think I would consider it warranty, or if I tried to fold up my car and stick it in my pocket ;p Every circumstance will be different, several of the phone backs haven't just broke on their own, maybe there have been a small few though.

    Samsung does hence the new Knox from 2 years ago and they have rejected warranties, or so some have said. Same with HTC, I haven't had those experiences though. I have had Motorola refuse to do even a out of warranty repair on a 1 week old phone with an unlocked bootloader running stock...

    When you get to the uninstall and install one at a time you'll be better off doing the answer you hate, factory reset. Let it run a day before putting anything on to see how it responds. I feel your pain there... would be a non-issue with Titanium Backup.

    Given that it sounds like connection issues. Are you connected to wifi that is iffy and it keeps connecting/disconnecting/connecting? Is your cell service iffy where you set the phone? Does the phone get warm, if so it is probably the radio working overtime to get a good connection. My phone...
