    "Unlocking"

    I've been out of the "Android World" for MANY years (not sure if "joined date" shows here). You can also tell from my "avatar" how long it's been (2004!) In any case I am looking to "get back in" with a used S21 Ultra. Aside from all the versions and sub-versions by country confusing as heck I...

    LG Watch Sport no TEXT Notifications

    I see everything and get vibrations for everything but no SOUND NOTIFICATION from the watch. Nothing blocked. Been rebooted many times and reset once. Very strange. In fact I turned ON "turn off notifications ON PHONE when wearing watch" figuring that would let the watch notify me with SOUND...

    LG Watch Sport no TEXT Notifications

    Just the "stock" app that came with the watch. I get all texts but no notifications for them.

    AT&T Galaxy S8 Google Maps no Voice over BT

    Yea, been there, done that. :( Seems this has been a Google Maps issue for MANY years. Just found a 3yr long thread with people having the same issue on Google support. About 18 months ago Google wrote it's "a known issue" and they are working on it. If I could leave BT turned on and stil...

    AT&T Galaxy S8 Google Maps no Voice over BT

    I have a 2013 Toyota RAV4 and Google Maps spoken directions don't work unless I turn OFF BT on the S8+ S8+ Phone calls work fine over BT, Navigon works fine over BT, music works fine over BT but Google Maps spoken directions doesn't. If BT is ON on the phone I get no voice at all from Google...

    LG Watch Sport no TEXT Notifications

    Been using it with an iPhone so didn't bother complaining about the problems but just a Galaxy S8+ and now I'm getting annoyed. When I get a phone call the watch "rings." When I get an email I get the notification tone BUT when I get a TEXT MESSAGE I get no notification tones. Notification...

    AT&T Note Recall Thread 2.0

    Walked into ATT Store in Linden NJ and (SADLY) within 10 minutes had a full refund back to my credit card. The manager even apologized for all the hassle. Guess my next toy will be an V20. I'd get an iPhone 7Plus but they are nowhere to be found. Now I have to wait 2 weeks more the V20.

    AT&T Note 7 Recall Thread

    My local corp store says they will take it back. Wonder if they would just refund me as this is the replacement for the temp phone after the original return. . I forgot to ask. It is paid in full. I came to the Note 7 from an iPhone 6S+ problem is AT&T has no iPhone 7+ for 3-4 weeks. If I...

    AT&T Note 7 Recall Thread

    You have to do it face to face. It's easy for them to blow you off when you call. I would (and it's what I did) just walk in, plop the phone on the desk and say PLEASE SWAP IT and see what happens. Eventually you will have to drop the "T" Word but by then they will have "found" it in the system.

    AT&T Note 7 Recall Thread

    Of course they can. How can they not see it? If you simply go online to att.com and look in your account it even shows a picture of the note 7 under "your devices". Mine showed up in less than an hour (the time it took me to get home from Target) after the original Target purchase. If it...

    AT&T Note 7 Recall Thread

    DO NOT ACCEPT THAT EXCUSE.. I had no receipt and no box and no accessories (I even kept the stylus). Maybe people are just nicer down here (I dread heading back north next week). I would call ATT Corp. All they did was scan in my old IMEI and then the new one. AT first they were reluctant...

    AT&T Note 7 Recall Thread

    Got the phone on release day in Target in NNJ and we were heading down to Florida the next day by car. Heard about the callback around Savannah GA where we were stuck during the hurricane. At first they refused then I told them I don't want to drive around with an exploding phone which was...

    AT&T Note 7 Recall Thread

    Best part is, so far I have received 3 $10 "first time" samsung pay rewards and 3 $5 dunkin donut gift cards from SP. No problem swapping my "temp" Galaxy S7 for a new Note 7 1300 miles from where I originally purchased it at Target and 600 miles from where I exchanged it for the temp S7. Temp...

    AT&T Note 7 Recall Thread

    Corp Stores in and around Pembroke Pines FL (not far from you) still don't have a clue (or a phone). Make sure yours don't come with Zika bugs. :)

    AT&T Note 7 Recall Thread

    Yes, I have everything including the box. All they got was the bare bones phone. There wasn't much option since I am traveling and am 1300 miles from where I purchased it.

    Guy in ATT store just took the phone. I kept EVERYTHING including stylus. This was before the official recall. YMMV

    The worst return issue that no one has heard of

    If I rock mine they won't take it back. It would look like it was done intentionally. ;)

    AT&T Note 7 Recall Thread

    It stated in AT&T "official" recall notice. Answer is YES. They say you can return any accessories when you return your device. You really need to read AT&T official recall information. Everything is pretty clear there. What should I do with the Samsung Galaxy Note7 I purchased? Because...

    Target Note 7 Recall Thread

    RETURN IT TO AT&T even if you got it at Target. If AT&T gives you a hard time insist on speaking to the manager. They will take it back. It might take being a little forceful BUT BE COURTEOUS but in the end they will. Worked for me and 2 others I personally know, Must be an AT&T CORPORATE...

    Abandon row note 7 bring a note 7 s

    I think he is referring to the fact the new "fixed" Note 7's will appear with a large "S" on the box labels to denote the "repaired" models. This has been reported (and pictured) in a number of places.
