    Thread USB C to HDMI, protected video content only plays in the daytime

    This is driving me nuts! I have a Cablematters USB C to HDMI adapter with PD. It works great as a Dex dock. Lately while traveling, I was using it to watch Netflix in the hotel room. It works just fine. However, in the evening it doesn't work. The video (Netflix, Amazon, Google Play Movies)...

    Thread Ok Google detection?

    Maybe I am missing a setting somewhere or something, but the Google Assistant on my XZP only responds when the screen is on. I have it set to "any time" in the Assistant settings. Is this normal? I'm pretty sure it worked whenever (screen off/locked/charging/etc.) on my last couple of phones...

    Thread T Mobile US and Digits

    I've seen from other threads that there is (and probably won't ever be) VOLTE or WiFi Calling support on T Mobile with this device. Is anyone using T Mobile's "Digits" on this phone, and is it a functional replacement for WiFi-Calling? I am occasionally in areas with no T-Mobile service at all...

    Thread Stock Messaging app notifications dismissed automatically

    Anyone else have this issue? When receiving an SMS message, I will get the pop up notification and sound, but then the notification will disappear as if it has been dismissed. The message will still be unread in the Messaging app, but there will be no notification either on the phone or on my...

    Thread Google Phone/Dialer

    Has anyone been able to replace the phone/dialer with the Google version on the XZ without rooting/unlocking? The Sony one is fine (way more usable than the stock Samsung one), but I miss being able to search from the dialer. I was able to get an older version (3.01.08_rc8) to install, but it...

    Thread Durability Test

    https://youtu.be/8NMCqjVoKHI Despite the comments, the phone looks like it actually held up pretty well.

    Thread Samsung Pay emitter location?

    Does anyone know where on the phone the Samsung Pay signal comes from? The instructions just say the back of the device, but I'm wondering if there is a specific spot. I've had a couple of terminals that just couldn't read the signal, and I'm wondering if there was a way to orient the phone to...

    Thread Anyone install the update on an original "hot" Note 7?

    I'm still waiting for my replacement to arrive (no T Mobile stores within driving distance, so they are shipping it to me) and so I'm still using my extremely statistically likely to be unaffected original Note 7. I haven't installed the update in fear that they might have snuck that 60% battery...

    Thread Tap the Home Button instead of Press?

    This is my first Samsung, and also the first phone I can remember using with a physical home button. I've searched around in the mess that is Touch WIz, and haven't found what I'm looking for. Is it possible to set the home button to register taps instead of full presses, like the touch pad on...

    Thread Do Not Disturb not following Automatic Rules

    Anyone else notice this? I set the DND automatic rules to Alarms Only from 10pm to 6am, Sundays through Thursdays. The phone will automatically turn on DND at 10pm, but for some reason it never switches off at 6am. Once I notice, I can manually turn it off but that defeats the purpose of having...

    Thread No sound after adjusting volume?

    Sometimes when I silence the phone (vibrate) by holding the volume down button then later turn the sound back on, the phone will not make any sounds at all. No ringer for calls, no sample sounds while browsing the sound picker, etc. until the phone is restarted. Latest build (M) and rooted. Any...

    Thread Exchange for Galaxy S5?

    I'm having some hardware problems (volume keys) and T mobile said they'd happily replace the device under warranty. The problem is they have no Z3's left! They said they can send me an S5 instead. Have any of you used a S5, and would you swap a Z3 for one? As far as I can tell, the Z3 is way...

    Thread Android Pay not working

    Anyone else have an issue getting Android Pay to work? I keep getting a message that it might not be compatible. Maybe because the device is rooted? Mine is a T Mobile unit.

    Thread Latest version of Chrome not working

    Anyone else have issues with the latest version of Chrome? It won't open links on certain websites no matter how many times you click on them. For example, on www.surfline.com I can't even log in to the website because the browser won't let me open the login link! Am I missing something?

    Thread [Q] Stuck in system recovery, no power button

    So my power button has stopped working. It started by constantly turning the screen on and off, then bringing up the power menu again and again. I left it overnight to sort itself out. When I woke up, the phone had managed to reboot into safe mode, and then I tried to reboot back to normal. Now...

    Thread [Q] Grease

    Has anyone tried or considered applying a tiny bit of silicon grease or something similar to the edges of the waterproof covers/flaps to reinforce the seal? I rarely ever open any of mine since I used bluetooth headphones and the dock connectors for charging. I thought about it because my SIM...

    Thread Smart Connect and the new Hangouts

    I was using Smart Connect to read SMS messages aloud in certain situations. This doesn't seem to work while using Hangouts for SMS messaging. Has anyone gotten this to work or found a similar solution?

    Thread WiFi Calling

    Is it possible to add WiFi Calling to a non T Mobile ROM? I have 6606 running 4.2.2 from an unbranded 6603, and everything else works great. It would be handy to get that feature back, though.

    Thread SPB Mobile Shell 2 disables Windows' Task Manager?

    Has anyone else noticed this problem, or even better, a solution? I just upgraded from Mobile Shell 1 to 2.1, and now the built in task manager in Windows Mobile 6.1 doesn't work. In fact it refuses to show up at all, even after re-enabling through the windows settings panel... Everything goes...
