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 turned my chime on and it appears to work.

Actually I did this without any good result. Replaced the charging port and all is well for my case. Your case, of course, could be different.

Update Just got my 9.0 update along with March 19 security update. About 1.55GB No carrier version

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...

Do not disturb? Had a similar problem and found that the "Do not disturb" setting was on. Turn if off and see if it helps. Mike

Found the problem Somehow "Do not disturb" did not turn off after last night. Manually turned it off and now it is operating normally.

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?

My phone is SM-N950U1

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...

Depends on the light and the light gathering power of the lens. In bright light the shutter speed is quite short and blurring should not be a problem. In dim light with a "slow" lens the chance of blurring is higher. Note 8 has an f/1.7 lens which is very fast. This is also the f/# of the S7...

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?

Amazon?

Unlocked black ordered on 9/4. Confirmed and still waiting. 360 camera still on backorder.

Sep 4 unlocked order Still haven't received any notice as of 9/23. Original email order response said the bonus 360 camera would arrive 9/14, phone would follow after 10/1. Nothing yet. Have called several times. One agent said they would expedite shipping when available from 2d day to...

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?

My wife's S5 is still on 5.1.1

I am on wifi, I have an ATT sim. The download appears to begin, but then fails. I just checked it and now it just replies that I am up to date, even though my security patch is 2016-02-01

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...

This is the one that I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R3WK2LU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 Not sure about the charging rate compared to Samsung. It is Qi standard so I would guess there is little difference. It claims 600mA. It is NOT a quick charge, more...

I was faced with the problem as you. I ordered the official Samsung wireless charging back, but it would not fit in my Seidio case. I returned the Samsung back and ordered a bare charging coil that will fit under the standard back. No problem with charging or any other functions and it fits in...

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

Hardware is my guess My guess is it is hardware. I have seen something like this with a bad video cable connection. Just a guess, though. Any time you suspect it is a different ROM and you are about to send it back, try to return your Nexus to stock and see if it goes away.

I did the same thing with my daughter's 2012 Nexus 7 (melted the frame). I found a replacement for $20.

Fixed! Ordered a new video flex cable and it fixed the problem.

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...

Fixed! Ran home at lunch at was able to see the graphic. Toggled it on and then off and it is fixed. Came back to work and saw your comment. Left a thanks.

The only thing I see in my browser from AndroidBH is "Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2" I'm at work so sometimes they strip out pictures. Did I miss something?

+1 Bump

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...

The only thing I can think of is to try a system reset. Be careful to back up your music/pictures etc.

Just a suggestion, but try your video on some other network to isolate to a Nexus problem or something else.

Bump .....bump....

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...

Only black currently If you try to select any color but black it jumps the selection to a first gen Nexus. Be careful!!

Please check your PMs Mike UPDATE: I can't seem to find any record of my SENT messages. Please respond in this thread. I am interested in having you install my new red bezel on my wife's damaged S3.

Thanks Tom. The last link is broken for me, but I found it on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Flash-Drive-SDCZ33-032G-B35/dp/B00812F7O8 Mike

UPDATE: I got impatient for the OTG from China so I ordered a different version and I received it yesterday. This OTG cable DOES work with my N7 (2013) using NMI. Thanks for the help and encouragement. I can load USB drives as long as they are not exFAT. I tried using a a USB/SD card adapter...

Superbeam works great for me.

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?

Glad we are not engaging in a tit-for-a-tat exchange. The OTB cable I had worked with my 2012 N7. I will order the one you used and see if that is any different. Mike UPDATE: I ordered one but it looks just like the one I have.

Apparently I am not the only one to have this difficulty. It's great that you have had a different experience, I wish mine was that way. This issue was with the 2013 Nexus 7. I had no problems with the 2012 version. Based on your comments about version 4.2.2 (which the 2013 version never...

Worked without a hitch for me.

I tried two types of MHL (old style that worked with my Galaxy S2 and new style that works with Galaxy S3--7 pin vs 11 pin I think) and neither worked, however slimport does work.

Well, I tried Nexus Media Importer without root and it didn't work for me. If you follow NMI troubleshooting links you will find that the author has found that it is very problematic with Android 4.3. He claims he has found a macarena-like workaround but I couldn't get it to work for me. I will...

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...
