    S21 5g... Are you truly happy? Or S21 Ultra? Thoughts?

    I LOVE mine. Fast, and while 5G doesn't work in my less-populated area of the California coast, I'm always "over the hill" shopping, working, etc., and 5G works in all those places. I'm always upgrading my phones for the latest and greatest. Going from Galaxy 6, 7, 10+ were incremental.The 10+...

    Screen stays on phone hits full charge

    I've tried finding that. I finally did find it and it was all greyed out. it wouldn't let me toggle anything. Sigh.

    Verizon Wireless scroll? Lockscreen...

    I'm on VZW and it doesn't do that--just shows the time on the left side in teeny font, and the other status stuff on the right. It will do that for a few seconds after a restart, but then it's back to normal.

    Screen stays on phone hits full charge

    No, AOD is on from the regular settings menu, along with Do Not Disturb. I've tried turning off AOD, but it doesn't change anything--still lights up and stays on after charging is done.

    Screen stays on phone hits full charge

    I put my phone on the wireless charger at night. When it hits full charge, the phone lights up (and the whole room as well) and stays on until I turn it off, then it goes back to the AOD clock I've set. My 9+ did it, too. What am I doing wrong? I worry that it's hard on the screen and the phone...

    Is it worth upgrading to the S9 from the S8? Or just a spec bump?

    I do the lease thing with VZW so I overpay, don't have a phone to call my own exactly, but get a new every year.

    Is it worth upgrading to the S9 from the S8? Or just a spec bump?

    Still have the Bixby button? Hate that. Still no IR blaster? Hate that. Will I get the new one and replace my s8+? You betcha. A blue one, please.

    Coming from S7 edge

    Well, I do like new phones and I upgrade every chance I get. I upgraded after having the 7 Edge for about 8 months. It was still a great phone, beautiful, not a scratch on it. For me, the better battery life has been worth it. And I like the size. Was this upgrade necessary for a long and happy...

    Why does Bluetooth prompt every time..?

    I get it too, when hooking with my Sync 3 system in my car. It says my car doesn't support it. Cool, then stop with the notifications.

    Anyone use Samsung Pay a lot?

    I've received $75 dollars in gift cards so far and well on my way to another $50.00. I love Samsung pay. I also use it on my Gear s2. I keep wondering when they are going to stop doing that because it's free money to me.

    Anyone get random restarts?

    I've had one. I call this the "Sometimes" phone. Sometimes the AOD is on, but not always. Sometimes it vibrates for no reason I can discern. Sometimes in disconnects from the bluetooth in my car, but reconnects quickly; fun during a phone call. Sometime the iris scanner works, but sometimes it...

    Wireless Car Charger Mount advice?

    I have the Choetech T510, vent mount. No, it doesn't fast charge, but I usually drop it on there fully charged for my morning commute (50 miles each way) and even when it's down a little bit from my morning routine, it charges right back up to %100, even with WAZE going and maybe talking on the...

    S8 Pics vs S7 Pics

    Love the blue Flex! I almost pulled the trigger on one of those, but got a red 2017 Explorer instead. Now I'm doubting my decison. But, back to business: I like the camera on my s8+ more. It's much sharper. I never really got got good results with my Edge 7. Probably user error but I tried so...

    DQA urgent update

    I had that DQA error message pop up a lot, but I disabled the app and it hasn't been back for a couple days now. I'm on VZW.
