One of the coolest features of Touchwiz devices is the included theme manager. In the olden days of Android you would need to flash a custom rom after unlocking your bootloader if you wanted to use a theme. Even then most themes were Rom specific, and it could take hours to round up a theme you...

For once Verizon was ahead of the proverbial curve when it came to the update for Marshmallow Android 6.0 on the Note 5. I received my update several weeks ago, and so far it has been awesome! Yes it includes the Doze battery saving feature, and Now On Tap from Stock Android, but it also...

The S7 and S7 Edge go live tomorrow, but you can get a taste of the S7 experience right now on your Galaxy S6 or Note 5! Developer "Albe95" has put together an S7 apps package. There are 6 apps included so a few things are missing. Unfortunately this does not include the Always on Display from...

One of the ongoing problems with Samsung devices has been the lag in touchwiz. The Galaxy S6 and Note 5 finally provided us with enough CPU power and Ram to do a decent job at masking this lag. Still there are parts of touchwiz that lag due to the hundreds of processes running in the background...

The Note 5 is a big device and it can get pretty tiring to hold it up for long periods of time. I have actually had digits fall asleep holding the Note 5 watching a football game on the watch ESPN app. Samsung may have a pretty cool trick up their sleeve for the Note 6. Samsung filed a patent...

Yesterday we discussed an early Beta rollout of Marshallow on the AT&T Note 5. One main change in 6.0 for the Note 5 is an all new theme. The new theme changes the blue and yellow theme into a blue and grey theme. The beta testing group only includes about 200 lucky users. One of the users...

Coming from iPhone, we LOVED the email interface and how easy it was to use. On our Note 5 and LG v10 we hate having to use the gmail app so that we have all our email clients in one place. The app is cumbersome and awful to use. Any recommendations for an app to use similar to the iphone...

So I downloaded the DashClock widget because it said that with the Fitbit Extension, I can see my Fitbit stats on my lock screen. I have been googling, researching, and playing around with my Note 5 TRYING to figure out how to get this to work. Is it just a lost cause? Does it not work with...

If you are like me then you are already pretty hyped about the upcoming Galaxy S7. This phone looks to be like an exciting upgrade with the curved glass back, possible microsd card expansion, improved low light camera, water resistance, and 3000mah battery. The phone is said to be announced by...

Nearly a month after the December security patches were released for Nexus devices Samsung has the same update ready to go for the Note 5. Even though it comes several weeks later and a day before Google's January Security Patch update it is still refreshing to see an OEM make the commitment to...
