@garak0410 I bought it, then immediately installed Exchange 2003 so I could sync everything with it OTA.

The Battery is draining fast after some google application update. Please share if any one also facing same problem.

That's not very good. Google's own apps should have the best chance at being good about battery life issues.

Which is my thinking too... unfortunately we have to keep this carrier and this number (business reasons). I was thinking a different number and then forward this number to this device.

For testing to prove the issue, this should be simple. Just get a second phone and forward the number as you say. Also make calls on the original phone to capture whatever Verizon wants.

I see tihngs like that becoming common place. I think (and am suprised we haven't already seen many) HDMI docks for phones that do what that video does. I know one exists for Note 4. It's like $40 bucks. I may get one.

But essentially, dock your phone to a device that has USB support for keyboard & mouse, and an HDMI connection, and BAM! instant computer.

I've done it a few times with my tablet and a bluetooth keyboard. It's kinda neat, but not quite as useful without a trackball.

Safe from StageFright... Yes. But what about the other iOS flaws?

As an one man shop I decided to use my cell as our business phone when I opened shop in 2003. The number is on all of our business info as well as online.

Port your cell number to Google Voice or RingTo. Problem solved.

What type of headset is this? It may need a firmware update:

Once you do that, you'll want to rebuild the bluetooth stack. Remove the device from your phone, power off, power back on, re-pair the bluetooth. That will rebuild the bluetooth stack and is best practice after updating firmware. (I spend A LOT of time on PLT's forums).

Also, I don't recommend the M series. They are the stupid cousin of the Voyager series.

Sadly my BT isn't any of those. It's the M55 - Just a simple unit.

Oh, I'm sorry...

It me it seems the OS just gets out of the way more and lets me do what I want to do. With Android the OS kinda gets in the way of doing tasks more and doesn't let me just work without having to think about it. If that makes sense.

That's definitely different than other trusted sources lead me to understand.

Check your sources. Are they quoting the laundry list of 2013 (this article was 2014) references to the opposite being true? Looks like there was reason to believe it in 2013, but nothing substantial, so everyone repeated it. But it got put to the test in 2014 and proved to not be what people had been saying.

One of the reasons I didn't go with another Android phone after my last one broke is I don't trust google. I noticed things like it recommending me add people I've been around on google plus. Recommending contacts based on some random text etc.

Definitely upgrade.

I agree with the 635 though - I have one, I really like it even though I'm running beta Windows 10 on it and it has issues.. they are beta issues I live with.

Now I'm waiting on the 640 XL

I have the Lumia 1520. Running 8.1. I like it pretty well. I tried the 920 a couple years ago one 8 and hated it because of some of the issues and lack of apps back then. Now all the appps expect my SSL VPN are there. I tried windows 10 on it. I can't do it. I use windows 10 one my laptop and can live with temprory usability issues but I can't live with the design issues of text being outside of bounding boxes etc that windows 10 preview had on the 1520.

Yup, this is one of the most common apps installed by more power users for Android, period.

Most of the malware comes from people installing apps not from the Play Store or using a rooted phone. The same risk exists using a jailbroken iPhone.

I suppose there is a bunch of that... but then there are things like the child singer from canada.. can't think of and don't want to his name... became a Youtube sensation and is now a millionaire.

You don't think this would become more the norm considering modern distribution methods.. and the studio made sorta-bes would mostly fade away?

I contacted Samsung and they feel that its the cable or the charger. I dont feel that it is since I get same results with other chargers and cables, but they are telling me to bring my phone in to my local wireless store.

huh? they aren't just going to send you a replacement?

I was told they dont send out replacement chargers or cables. They only service phones.

Wow, that would be like Dell telling me that they won't replace my power cord while I still have a valid warranty. Even the batteries are normally covered for the first year by the warranties.

Sounds like another reason to bail on Samsung.

I'll be impressed if they improve picture quality over 1080P - lots of 4K stuff gets compressed all to hell.
