    Note 10+ Signal Issues - Samsung refuses to replace

    All I know is I've had mine since launch day and the problems started maybe 3 days ago. Very odd.

    Note 10+ Signal Issues - Samsung refuses to replace

    My unlocked Note 10+ on Verizon just started doing the same thing. Very frustrating l agree!

    Screen Brightness

    My Note 10+ isn't as bright as I would like either. I noticed the difference from my S10+ immediately. It just is what it is, I guess!! Whites are white here, it's just a dimmer panel I got.

    IMPORTANT-I can see fingerprint reader hardware when phone in direct sun light!!!

    Yeah, had it on my S10+ too. It's normal don't stress about it, usually can only see in direct sunlight.

    Factory Unlocked and No Verizon Voicemail

    Solved!! I just needed somebody to actually call me and leave a message first, then I received a link to install it in the notification area. Thanks everyone!!

    Factory Unlocked and No Verizon Voicemail

    Correct. On my factory unlocked S10+ (G975U1), as soon as I plugged in a Verizon SIM, the phone rebooted and the Voicemail app was made available to me in my app drawer. On the Note 10+ (N975U1), this didn't happen. It rebooted but the Voicemail app didn't appear.

    Factory Unlocked and No Verizon Voicemail

    Just upgraded from a factory unlocked S10+ (U1) to a factory unlocked Note 10+ (U1). The Note 10+ appears to be missing the Verizon Voicemail app. Did Samsung forget to bundle this into the unlocked ROM? I'm surprised because they did think to include it in the unlocked S10+ ROM. Really...

    Samsung messaging app crashed

    I have had 4 system crashes of my 9+ since I got my phone three weeks ago. Never had a single crash in a year of my S8+. In my case I believe it is related to trying to use the camera though.

    Returned s9 plus after 24 hours

    If Netflix doesn't fix their bug where they are not allowing picture in picture mode on 8.0 then 8.1 is a very big deal to me.

    S9 plus has a physical problem light leakage from edges

    Mine has the light leakage too. It's only noticeable in the dark though. The front glass is also the wrong size for the body. There is 1mm of unfinished metal showing near the corners if I look closely because the glass top isn't totally covering the device body. Build tolerances would seem lax...

    Samsung keyboard

    Wow you're right. That's actually really bad. I wonder if there is a way to submit feedback to Samsung. They are kind of crossing an unwritten line with this. At least we can dump their otherwise decent keyboard for something less Orwellian. EDIT: Just filed feedback on Samsung Community.

    Any tips on making my S9 friends with my MacBook Pro?

    I just downloaded SideSync the other day for my S9+ and it's working perfectly with my Mac, screen sharing and all. I really hope it's not being discontinued.

    Pry tool scuffs along top edge of screen

    I know this is very OCD (that's my middle name) but my first 9+ I noticed at a certain angle at under certain lighting there are a series of narrow diagonal scuff lines along the glass edge above the earpiece right where the glass meets the metal frame. Looks like damage a pry tool or something...

    Why is my galaxy s9+ rebooting all of a sudden!

    Mine did it once, am continuing to monitor. Once in a week isn't horrible but then my 8+ never crashed. Most likely if it is rare nothing to worry about.
