    News Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra initial review: The pursuit of perfection

    I would love to see a listing and quantity of each component put into each device along with the cost of each component. Millions of devices withe costs spread across them. Probably the equivalent of pennies to a dollar compared to what we pay. If the S24 Ultra was 899 instead of 1300, they...

    News Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra initial review: The pursuit of perfection

    The pricing on this phone and all phones makes no sense. You have a device with a 6.8 screen for 1300. This Sumsung 85" TV is 900 at Best Buy. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-85-class-tu690t-crystal-uhd-4k-smart-tizen-tv/6527338.p?skuId=6527338 The quantity material needed to make the TV...

    Not happy w/free Xfinity Pixel 7 ! ... Phone app incoming & keyboard don't go full screen ??

    This problem is my main issue with the phone. It would take a couple lines of code to give us an option for a full screen when a call comes in. You should not have to look for the small block with mini buttons to answer the phone. Answering using voice commands is not always desirable. I wrote...

    Camera app is horrible, missing important calls!

    Sounds like you meant to say the phone app is terrible . I agree. There should be an option for the app to always open to a full screen when a call comes in. The little box is more than annoying and gets lost in other notifications. How much would it take to add a setting to do this. Every...

    September Security Update Long Install Time

    Thanks for all the info on the process. I thought for sure I had a bricked phone. It still needs to be streamlined so it doesn't take so long. If Microsoft can do it with Windows, Google should be able to do it.

    September Security Update Long Install Time

    I ran the update process for my P7 update yesterday. It ran for over 3 hours. Even big Windows updates don't take this long. The old Blackberry system was slow to update but at worst it took a half hour. My previous phone, LG G7, would complete all updates in less than 5 minutes, Google's...

    Problems With Pixel 7 Google Phone Dialer App

    I cleared the data and did a force stop. I entered card data fine. However, when you start keying zip and last 4 digits of the SSN, you can only see the 1st couple digits of the zip. The characters aren't moving to the left so you can see what you are entering. I was able to get through the...

    Problems With Pixel 7 Google Phone Dialer App

    I haven't tried voice. I will try it later. This is a phone 1st. The dialer should work with no problems. This is the 1st phone I have ever had a problem with the basic phone function.

    Problems With Pixel 7 Google Phone Dialer App

    Today I had to call my bank about a credit card issue. I entered my 16 digit card #, then it asked for my zip code. However once I was beyond the CC #, the app would not recognize any digits I entered and on t he screen I saw totally different numbers than what I had entered. This happened a...

    Forget this and go back to the little indicator light at the top of the screen. It just worked, The flash screen is just overkill.
