Wearing my S3 last night and the watch display went all grey and wouln't respond to any button pushes or bezel rotations. Later it finally reverted to normal. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what did you do?

I've been getting this "Moisture in charging port" message recently and after Googling the symptoms I was very discouraged because "fixes" did not seem to work. Phone would only charge wirelessly and my nexJack Dex would only work when the USB C was plugged in one orientation only, if at all...

Recently my S3 Classic no longer recognizes the wake-up gesture (yes it is turned on) and the AOD also is not working (yes it is also turned on). I haven't added any new faces in quite some time. Tizen 4.0.0.2 Model SM-R770 I did perform a factory reset but no help. Suggestions?

I bought an unbranded Note 8 directly from Samsung. I find that this version does not have native Wifi calling. I am aware of some services that provide free Wifi calls as long as both are using the same service (Skype, whatsapp, and so on). My current provider is AT&T, FWIW. Has anyone found...

My S3 Classic can run for several days, but inevitably it will lockup and have to be rebooted. What is the typical rate of lockups for other users? I do have ONE self-made watch face using the Samsung utility. Other than that I have only downloaded a few popular apps.

Just recently when texting, all my words have the first letter capitalized (like a headline). I know that I can cycle through the Shift key to return to lower case, but I want it to only capitalize the first word in a sentence. I see the selection of Capitalize first word in sentence and have...

I may be hallucinating, but I seem to recall a free HBO offer with my Note8, however I can't seem to find the paper or email. Did anyone else get this offer?

I have ordered an unlocked Note 8 and will be using it on AT&T. When it comes time for updating to Oreo from Nougat where will the update originate? If it is the AT&T server will I then be burdened with their bloatware?

Several days in a row I have checked for software updates and each time it appears to find one and briefly begins the process only to stop. I presume the update is just a security update, but I don't know why it fails and I am concerned that whatever is causing this problem will prevent OTA...

My wife's S3 shows an SMS video sent from an iPhone with a very skinny aspect ratio. The same SMS video on my S3 is OK. Is there some hidden setting where this is adjustable? Mike

Cracked screen (video was fully functional, digitizer didn't work) replaced. Upon boot the right half of the screen was full red and the left was black. The"Google" splash screen looked normal, The 4.4 swirling colored dots behaved normally with all colors showing in either half. After boot the...

After updating my S3 (stock, unrooted) to 4.3 my camera LED lights up when receiving a call. This is a new behavior. I can't find a setting to control this. Can anyone help me find the setting to turn off the flash LED (I have searched Call Setting, Call Alerts, , Additional settings...

I have this problem that when wirelessly charging my S3 will periodically beep like it has just been placed on the pad. It seems to charge OK but the beep happens every 20 secs or so and is annoying. I could charge with the phone off, but I prefer to leave it on. This occurred with 4.1.1 and...

Stock unrooted 32 GB N7 2013. Seems to play downloaded movies fine but the Demo clip for surround sound in Play Movies stutters, not just the sound but the video also; even after a second play. Does anyone else see this?

Just got my N7 2013 32 GB from UPS at lunch. On first boot it loaded with Spanish language prompts. I nearly freaked out. Almost immediately prompted me (in enspanol) to update it and I did. I was quite relieved to find the second boot was in English. A few minutes later I got the message to...

Videos that I took when my stock SIII was on ICS won't play with JB update. The show up in Gallery, but it pops up "Sorry, this video cannot be played". It doesn't even show up in the video player app. Anyone else encounter this? I haven't checked these on other devices yet.

Having trouble getting 4.1.2 to install. Have forced the OTA, but it fails signature verification. Started as unlocked and rooted, then unrooted (with rootkeeper), but still no joy with OTA. Also tried a factory reset. Please PM me if interested in helping. Mike

Stock 4.0.4 Recorded some videos last night. Some suddenly stopped recording and dumped me out to the home screen. Reduced the resolution and tried again. A few went OK, but I was still dumped out a few times. I was NOT using the MMS setting. Is this a known problem? Simple search didn't turn...

When I first started my N7 it told me an update was available, so I downloaded it and installed it. The current version I have is 4.1.1, kernel is 3.1.10-g52027f9 and the build number is JRO03D. Where there any features removed when this version was installed? Google seems to indicate it was a...

I have rooted my N7 and I am looking to manage space by moving files to USB storage. I used Astro File manager to look for them and I can't find them under MOVIES or DOWNLOADs. Where are they?

OK, so I have a Nexus 7 and a Galaxy S3. Both have NFC and it is turned on for each. Android Beam is also enabled. I pull up a video on the S3 and bring it close to the N7 and the S3 video screen shrinks and the "Touch to Beam" prompt appears, so I tap the S3 screen. Then an animated graphic...

Updated yesterday (12/21) and found that my phone battery was draining fast. Handset got very warm in my holster. This morning I noticed that the display would never go blank unless forced by tapping the power button. It would dim but not blank out. This problem did not exist prior to the OTA...

And if it does, how can it be removed?

Why are there two different modes?

Galaxy S II won't boot. Recycles through dripping boot screen constantly. Stock battery on or off charger. Won't respond to anything but a battery pull. Removed micro SD and SIM...same result. Seems as though I could sense something was amiss prior to failure: portrait SWYPE keyboard was...

My 2.2 Captivate (rooted, but little else) plays music pretty well mostly, but after 2 or 3 songs it pauses for maybe 5 - 10 seconds (seems like forever), then it resumes. Usually this does not recur during the remaining session. This is not the expected pause I get when a new email, or text...

Just found this this a.m. Might mean 2.3.3 is rolling out soon.

Is there a problem with Google/Gmail/Market lately? I am constantly getting prompted with a captcha because of a failed authorization or something. I am using standard 2.2 that has been rooted, lag fixed and sideload enabled, if that has any pertinence.

Just today with my rooted but otherwise stock Captivate I am getting a log in screen for the default Yahoo home page. Anyone else having this issue? I guess I can just change my home page.

I have searched for a solution for syncing my various calendars on my Google account and I have not found a solution yet. Currently I can sync my main Google calendar, Contact's birthdays and US Holidays but not my Dallas Mavericks calendar. I don't know how it misses it. Is there a limit on...

I am trying to avoid re-pairing my bluetooth headsets when I switch them. My original bluetooth setup includes a hands-free hook-up to my Prius, and a stereo BT headset (with mic). I have recently been trying different earpiece headsets for traveling. I had no problem alternating with my...

Before taking the plunge I am looking for success/problem comments from those who have failed with OTA and then tried the JH7_OTA.zip approach. I have searched and I don't see many comments yet.
