I went for a walk in the park this evening and decided to take photos with my edge plus camera to share. Flash was off and the camera was set to auto at 16megapixels. Spot the moon.

Many of us will be struggling to decide which smartphone to get or maybe firstly, which platform e.g android or iOS. In the past few years, I have tended to go with Samsung. The clear contenders are the Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge plus and Galaxy Note 5. Galaxy S6 This is a beautiful phone, introducing the glass finish and premium look. However, the edge display is sexier looking and so you could do better. Galaxy S6 edge Worryingly, many people who bought this device were disappointed to later learn that Samsung was releasing the edge plus. Pretty much the same phone but bigger display at 5.7 instead of 5.1in, bigger RAM at 4gb instead of 3gb, bigger battery at 3000mAh instead of 2600 and a higher pixel density on the edge plus. Galaxy S6 edge plus If you are looking for bigger is better, this is your device. Galaxy Note 5 The best Samsung device ever, up to last year in my opinion, was the Note 4. Multitasking capability was from another dim...

If you use a magnetic phone case/cover, it will affect your S Pen's response on the screen of the phone. This will be greater where the screen is right above or next to the magnet. I tried many screen configuration settings before I found out what the cause was and how to fix it. http://youtu.be/xAO8pg_1EWE

I started to notice increased battery drain when I bought a case for my galaxy note 4. Nothing was showing up as suspicious on the battery usage. It took me a while to find the culprit. In the settings under accessibility, The "Air wake up " feature was enabled and I used it a lot. It allows you to wake the display by waving your palm. You can then see the time and notifications. I found that my phone was constantly waking up when I had the case closed. One night, I lost 30% charge while sleeping. I now keep this function turned off and the problem has stopped.

I have spent a lot of time researching this and will keep it short. This is a software issue and hopefully it will be resolved in the next update. In the meantime if a soft or hard reset does not work, like in my case, then your only option is to go into settings, general, developer options and tick "disable hardware overlays". You may also want to tick "force GPU rendering" but not really necessary. If you can't see Developer options go to settings, general, about phone and tap the build number at least 7 times. Please note that if you turn your note 3 off you will have to go back into developer options to tick again. Mine now works fine whereas before it had so much flicker I couldn't actually see a playing video.

I currently have a Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Gear. The Galaxy  Note 4 and Samsung Gear S were announced at IFA today. I'll certainly be ditching my Galaxy S5 for the Note 4 but will not be going for the Gear S. The main reason is the lack of a camera. The whole idea of the Gear S is that you will not need your phone. All Samsung had to do was ensure that the social media essentials on the phone were transferred to the Gear S. The camera is one of the most used features on the phone in this day and age. I can't help but feel that this was intentional oversight by  Samsung so they could include it on the next release. Marketing tactics perhaps but not good enough. I believe the Gear S will sell very well because of the buzz but I'll wait for the next release when they include the camera, and a few more new features.

The Samsung gear S will take a sim card. Samsung Gear S Smartwatch With Curved Screen And …: http://youtu.be/EHjs3Fhxnuc
