    Anyone on the 7.1.1 beta having issues with DND not automatically turning itself off?
  2. jefbal99
    Any new feature requests? I haven't followed the thread enough. The issue i ran into with the system short cuts would be a nice enhancement maybe with some device detection or a model selection.

    I signed up on this with a the Galaxy Tab E, great price, 8" tab is perfect size. Mostly going to be a netflix/hulu device, used it last night and the 480p streaming cap was no issue for the screen size.

    Picked up a Galaxy Tab E, some of the system shortcuts don't work. Data/EPST and Debug/Engineering give a Toast notification "Screens may note be available on this device" Looking at the System Apps, IOTHiddenMenu exists, however, I can't get it to launch with a Shortcut app. There is a metric ton of things under IOTHiddenMenu including Debug, CAEnabled, etc. Had to go into the Calculator and enter a string to launch DRParser Mode, from there I was able to use codes to access Debug and Data

    I picked up a Tab E yesterday, at 8" its the perfect size. So far, my hatred for TouchWiz is staying below the surface, however, in the long run I can see myself looking for a CM variant. Device is updated to 6.0.1 with the Sept security patches. Very current, I don't believe its a CA device, but I can't figure out how to get to Debug, the Shortcut from SCP doesn't work.Data Menu shows CA is disabled, not sure why, need to get MSL Found this to get into a hidden menu with the calculator, but its not the radio info... http://wikiwhy.net/1384/samsung-galaxy-tab-4-wi-fi-secret-service-open-menu Open Calculator and type in (+30012012732+ Opens DRParser Mode Working Codes *#0*# LCD Tests * #1234# to check software version of Tab 3 *#12580*369# to check software and hardware information. *#0228# Battery status (ADC, RSSI reading) ##786# to open RTN menu ##33284# DEBUG!!!!!!! ##3282# DATA!!!!!! *#0011# – Network info

    Galaxy tab e

    Any reviews on this device? With the new $20 psuedo unlimited data plan on a tablet, I'm thinking about picking one up. Sad that Sprint onyl has three android tablets and the HP Slate devices appear to be trash... Was this upgraded to Marshmallow? Is this on the docket for a Nougat upgrade?

    At least 750 entries. Every $1 was one entry. I got 25 numbers for my $25. If the donations went beyond $750, then there are that many more entries

    T-Mobile announced that any accessories purchased from them could be returned with the phone. I would expect all carrier to exchange accessories purchased from them. Stuff purchased 3rd party, reach out to the seller/manufacturer. Once you select a new device, I'd think they'd want to keep a customer and help you out. Hopefully Samsung recycles as much of the REE as possible.

    I loved my Galaxy Note 2, still possible the best device I've ever used. I hope that Samsung investigates this and finds a root cause, however, I'm guessing that will never be released publicly. If not for my hatred of TouchWiz, I would have bought one of these when my MXPE was destroyed in late August

    Samsung has announced that they are permanently halting production and sales of the Note 7, this device is literally toast
  12. jefbal99
    I'd toss a few bucks into the pot
  13. jefbal99
    Well crap, I hadn't refreshed the tab since about 7:30a when it got opened this morning.

    Drawing still tonight? What time?

    jcase and evleaks on twitter were both speculating that the Verizon version would be botloader locked, but the google play version would be unlocked.

    So my dad and his buddy got these and man do we all really dislike that LG "skin" on Android. Having all the apps on the home screens, with no app drawer is not a good look. Everything just felt so cluttered. I put the Google Now launcher on it for my Dad as he was coming from a Nexus 5 and it will be a similar look at feel. That LG skin may be worse than Samsung's TouchWiz

    Any more QC issues on the G5? Looking for an upgrade for my Dad and a Buddy of his who share a plan.
  18. jefbal99
    Looks like Sam's Club still does them too.

    Data usage on an app that servers a purpose is completely different than data usage just to show how fast a connection is. From a diagnostic perspective, a speed test can provide useful data if there is a problem, however, outside of that its just like burning gas in your car revving the engine to see who's is the loudest or burying the accelerator from a red light turning green to be faster than the car next to you. It's cool and all, but a waste of your resource. An app that usefully uses data is a much better use of the resource.

    Netflix was an example, any streaming app can and is impacted by unnecessary data usage Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    In my neighborhood, we are almost exclusively Sprint as high speed internet is not available to us. We actually did some tests with one person running netflix, others doing speed tests, then two and three streaming video and others doing speed tests. We got very used to seeing the red spinning circle as soon as those speed tests fired off. We had a random smattering of Samsung Galaxies, iPhone, LGs, etc. The speed tests pulling a huge burst of data negatively impacted the users of services and when multiple devices were running tests, everyone was impacted.
  22. jefbal99
    I disagree with this, I've seen speedtests negatively impact experience multiple times. Unless you are doing a diagnostic test, there is no need to a speed test unless your are into measuring contests...

    Well, the plot has thickened... Talked with chat and other methods trying to get the S6 at the 49.99 price point last week to no avail. Checked again this morning and its still on the website, but for $1.00 now?!?! Tried to order again and it still wouldn't let me. Was scrolling through the other Android devices and saw the LG G5 was down to $1 with a contract upgrade. Kept scrolling and noticed a 128GB S6 that was $1 on contract upgrade. Low and behold, that thing was available and got an order placed! Woot! Edit in: drat, tried to go back yesterday afternoon and get one for my Dad (didn't order in the AM as he has talked about switching providers, wanted to make sure he was good with a 2yr agreement) and both black and white are out of stock.

    Are you using apple maps or google maps? I know there was a change on the Google Maps/Android side in the past year where the app downloads the entire route when you start and only grabs changes to the route as needed and adjusts it then. I have no experience with the Apple Maps...
