Just received a notification in contacts - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just had something funny happen, was using my edge when it gave me a notification about a new sharing mode in my messaging app. It now allows me to share up to 1GB of pictures and videos in my messaging app! Thats pretty AWESOME, but i wonder has anyone else gotten this same upgrade to messaging?

I agree, brings back the not so good old days...
It's cool but not without problems.
Anybody know if it's possible to change the keypress/notification sounds?
I'm a little worried that I had to read 3-4 posts down before I understood what all of you were talking about. I even worked for Nextel customer service awhile.
Of course, nothing beats the Chinese woman who called me once, asking how to use her "talkie-walkie." She kept correcting me, too, when I called it Direct Connect. We made no headway at all until I agreed that it was a talkie-walkie.
Have no use for it.....
For me best apps are Tasker and Xscope
Well and of course, Launcher Pro Plus

Sucks they don't have this program for iphones. People I wood use this program with are using iphones or phones that aren't smart phones. Would be nice if it allows you to use it with a regular phone. Seems like they could make a lot of money with this program if they could get it to work on other devices that aren't android. Deleting for now.

You'll just have to do what I did and talk so highly of your phone that it makes them ditch their iPhones for an Android.

Hahahaha..thats funny! I do agree this is a good app..funny the app says its still on BETA but i don't see nothing wrong with it..other than it has to be installed on the phone in order for you to use it..this feature should come standard on all smart phones i think. Does bring back the Nextel Feel to it..aka "Talkie-walkie".

It is a beta. Some times I get the network unavailable. ..I have to try couple of more times then work. Also I would like to choose what person to call from a contact list in the app. If u call ur girlfriend then want to call ur friend u have to go into add number and it would erase ur girlfriend. .do same process to call girlfriend again.

[Q] Sprint Total Protection App?

Anyone have this app or use it? Does the GPS location thing always need to be turned on? Does it waste battery?
Search for an app called lookout on the android marketplace, your welcome
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I just installed Android Lost. It's free and it's great. It lets you do a lot of stuff, like make your phone sound a police siren in case you lost it somewhere in your house, lock the phone, give you the GPS coordinates, and take pictures and send it to your email, all from the web interface. It doesn't use any battery life either.
sounds good
Thanks. I may have to try one of these because the Total Protection app apparently cannot find my phones location worth a damn. Which location/security app uses the least battery?

My battery meter shows AndroidLost as using no battery, just as they claim.
Android lost is neat. Thanks for that.

Yeah, that's my only concern. Lookout is for sure reputable (been around longer, been recommended more, been on the news for Pete's sake lol) and the free version has all the features you really need, while the paid version adds remote lock and remote wipe capabilities

The app does not work on my phone. It gets stuck at "Verifying application integrity". I'm running RezRom S4.
I'm just wondering why the app requests root permissions. Good app though.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I suspect that asking for root is a security check. Content providers are very twitchy about this on demand from anywhere stuff. I denied it. No reason for it to have root except to see if it's there.
Do u know if this is supposed to replace the old xfinity app? Cuz that one was laggy as fux.. and it only changes my channels when it wants too

Is there a way you can stop the app from checking what subscriptions you're paying for. I just have internet and directv streaming is a bit behind xfinity.

So you don't want to pay for cable but you want to get the content for free?
No.
The DirecTV app is still on beta mode and its who I have my "cable" subscriptions with. I was able to watch a show yesterday on xfinity and the hd quality is excellent compare to the DirecTV app at this time. Just wondering if it was possible

There's a reason why you have to sign up for satellite on contract, and it isn't because of how awesome it is. Comcast has contracts now, but they are optional and mainly a way to lock in rates and get something free.
everyone i've ever known who signed a contract with a sat company has regretted it. they make you pay for everything, too.

It only works on certain T Mobile devices. Also there is SD and HD shows that are also only able to be viewed on certain devices. Most standard def channels can be watched on all the devices that T Mobile TV works on but the HD channels can only be watch on a few devices as of now. I doubt we will get this working on an AT&T Note. There is a list on the T Mobile site that will show you all the devices the app will work on.
Maybe a build.prop change that makes it look like one of the approved devices.

Ah okay that sucks just thought it'd be a neat thing to have to watch some random shows when I was bored. A build prop change seems too much of a hassle for this small thing plus it might cause some other apps to stop working.

this is after I put nova launcher and some other apps on it too and customized them.
it wont show the status bar properly now tho :s but its a compromise until someone makes better firmware for it as the current firmware/launcher are buggy and not good.
LOL. I thought you were joking when you said you were getting one. Maybe you can bug Omate for a "spare" case.
Better yet have Bell & Ross make you a custom watch face and strap.

no i have it on my wrist right now. i'm not impressed tho in that the software is crap it has some bad bugs that being said tho if it didnt have the bugs it would be pretty cool (the truesmart I've pre-ordered will be better tho)
I think that the bugs are coursed by them trying to mix elements from the app drawer and the home screens together. it has no homescreens or widgets but has folders were you can put 3 yes only 3 apps per folder how useless. and sometimes apps show multiple icons per app installed worst i've gotten is 3 for one app install and only uninstalling it will remove it. also after you've filled so meny pages of apps it starts not showing some of them so you have to do a device search to find/open them. and if i try install say nova or next 3d instead of the usless default launcher they would be fine but. the notification bar totaly vanishes and stops working. so until someone makes better firmware for it or maybe the omate firmware will work on it ? it has omate firmware on it now and the model number also says omate. i'd just be worried about breaking it by doing that and couldn't anyway unless someone makes a root hack for this? so atm its not as good as it could be.

I would like to see how it works as a smartwatch All these discussions about various android watches got us far away from the original concept of smartwatch, to be a remote display for your smartphone where you get your notifications upon which you decide if you want to take out your smartphone to proceed That's how it works with MetaWatch and Pebble, a simple notification smartwatch. As much as I'm looking forward to Omate and other android smartwatches, these crossed the threshold of smartphone on your wrist which is an overkill for a lot of people. So, I would really like to see how this AW-414.Go will be able to deliver notifications about incoming calls, text messages, Gmail, and POP/IMAP/Exchange emails.

I am not sure if you can use it like the pebble it errored when I tried bluetooth it to my phone with the app that seems to be the one that does that and It didnt come with any instructions/manual.
I will try again tho also is their anything else you would like to see?
I disagree in the sense that having a full android os means you can do a lot more with it and customise it however you want plus you dont have to use its built in phone/3g if you dont want to. I mostly use mine at home on wifi. The battery life is a joke on 3g and exstremely bad if you actualy actively use it with 3g/phone enabled and not just with those on in standby mode. But thats to be exspected due to the size of the batterys in these kinda devices.

How bad is battery life on 3g? Because if it truly is that bad it kind of makes it pointless even using as a standalone, if it won't even make it through the day. And if it won't work as a companion,well...
