    I’m not finding any info online as to how to change the lock screen timeout setting. My lock screen times out in what feels like 3 seconds, barely giving me time to unlock it before the screen goes dark. I’d like to extend it to 10 seconds. Anyone know how? This would be a great thing to develop content for. It’s being asked on other sites and no answer seems to have been found.

    Hi, wanted to leave a thankyou to you guys for saving my S6! I can’t switch my phone on when the blue light is still blinking, just blank. Major headache. Pressed the power button & volume down button upon sourcing for solutions and it worked.
    Thankyou!

    It appears somebody paired to my new S6 Edge. There was a notification message (which disappeared when I clicked on it) that I was paired to something with the word “security” in the paired device name. In my S3, it was necessary to activate a ‘make visible to other devices’ setting to pair, which lasted only a couple of minutes. In the Edge, it always says “visible to other devices” and I cannot find a way to turn this off. How does one do this?

    The new menu structure is nearly impossible to decipher. Seems like all computer device makers relish making as many changes as possible to each of their new products, so no one can operate them without hours of re-learning, instead of building on what we already know.

    Hello eveyone! Hope someone will have a solution different than factory reset! So, my kid was trying to unlock my S6 edge (with his fingerprint or something, I don’t know what exactly happened) and after that there is a message:”Unable to recognise your fingerprint. Enter your backup password to unlock the device”! Unfortunatelly, the backup password doesn’t work (probably I’m not entering the right one). I cannot unlock via google because wifi and mobile data are turned off.
    Can anyone tell me, if there is a way to restore (somehow) my backup password to my e-mail, OR to turn on wifi or mobile data OR restore the fingerprint unlock (because I don’t have the opportunuty for fingerprint unlocking now)?
    Thanks….

    How can I adjust the factory settings so that I can add more music, apps, pictures and addresses? My phone is 64 gig and there should be no issue with having lots of apps, pictures, music and contacts. The S3 was designed way better and it also had a sim card slot. way better to use that the Samsung Galaxy S6.

    Who says 5s is enough? I expect crap that that from Apple/iOS than Android. Maybe someone has a disability of some sort which slows them down, maybe they are just busy multi-takers and the phone keeps turning off. The point of Linux/Android (for the most part) is CHOICE. If you want a 5s wait, more power to you, but a bunch of us want/need more time.

    I did not ask for Flipboard. I HATE IT. Yet I can’t delete it and I can’t make it not show. This is my last Samsung phone.

    I had blue tooth turned on and put my phone near my computer and it downloaded all my favorite web sites to my contact page. It also doubled up all my phone contacts from another older phone that I needed to get some contacts from. I finally turned off blue tooth and watch what I put my phone next to. It’s a security problem if you leave blue tooth on and you are sitting in a room full of people. A real nuisance trying to delete the other data too. Be careful or you might get your contacts stolen. I really hate the new S6 Active.

    How you do reset your backup pin when you forget it? I used to use a pin to lock my screen, but I have since changed it to swipe to unlock. Since I do not have my backup password, and all 10 of my fingerprints seem not to work. I have yet been given the option to change password through Google, it simply tells me to try again in 60 minutes. I do not have Find My Mobile on my phone.. so I cannot unlock it that way either. I can use it since it is only locked by a swipe.. not a pin or pattern. But, I am tired of having my pocket dial my contacts…

    I have a Smsung S6 with a battery icon in upper right bar that has 3 angles, located in a triangular configuration. They look very similar to the recycling icon only without the arrow tips. Phone is acting funny (can’t receive calls) but charges properly/fully. Will send/receive texts if words only but fails if trying to send a picture. Cannot find this battery icon in any online list I’ve found of Samsung battery icons. Unsure if simply old battery where buying a new one will solve issues or is it a bigger problem? Verizon store not helpful. Thanks for all assistance
