    Verizon Galaxy S8 Long press issues and ghost touches

    I've had issues with my S8+ since I got it with not being able to perform long presses anywhere on my screen. I notice it frequently when I'm in the apps screen. The other, similar issue I've had is with ghost touches. They're always in the upper left corner. It usually happens if I'm holding...

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Charging habits and wireless chargers

    Back to a Galaxy for the first time since my S5. Was using a Nexus 6P, which I loved, but the battery went to complete garbage about a year in. I was only getting like 4-5 hours with light usage. That aside, here are my questions: 1. Should I drain my S8 battery down every day? I work from...

    Moved and battery life drained drastically

    I just recently moved and have noticed that my phone battery has been dying rapidly. I work from home and during my work day (8-5), my phone is down to 30-40% around 5pm. SOT is usually around an hour and there are huge dips when I'm on calls. I don't have great service here, but I'm on Wi-Fi...

    Phone not charging issue

    My Google charger still works 100% fine. I know some of the responses will be to buy another one of those, but I'm curious if anyone has had this problem. I bought the little adapters to convert MicroUSB chargers into USB-C for the 6P. I usually use the charger with the adapter at night to...

    6P won't stay on vibrate

    I usually have my phone on ringer so I'm not sure how long I've been having this issue. I noticed it this morning because I wanted to stop getting sound notifications for a game I was playing. After playing the game for a few minutes, I go back to my homescreen and the ringer is on again. I...

    Some observations on the switch from Samsung

    Coming from a Galaxy S5 and have had a few issues in the first days with the 6P. 1. No gallery app. I know this has been discussed before and that there are third-party apps. But, Google Photos is not a simple replacement. I really like Photos as a backup resource but don't think it's fully...

    Sim card size

    I currently have a Galaxy S5, and I believe it has a micro SIM card. I "upgraded" through Verizon to an iPhone 6S, which I'm currently selling on eBay before buying my 6P. The iPhone came with a nano SIM card. I looked up that the 6P supports NanoSIM. Does anyone know if I'll be able to use the...

    Samsung Wireless Charging Pad mini

    I bought this charging pad, and it says to only use with Samsung chargers that are at least 2 amp. Is this a real concern or can I just take the pad to my girlfriend's house and plug it into any micro USB charger? Wireless Charging Pad mini

    Car Mode Problems

    This application just seems to have a lot of problems. Well, at least they are to me. 1. The main screen showing navigation, messages, phone, and music doesn't dim itself. So your phone just sits there and dies in your car. It's fine if you are using the navigation, but I like to just have my...

    Qi-compatible charging pads and S View charging case

    I'm very new to this whole concept of wireless charging. First, if I buy the S View case, it says I can use any Qi-compatible charging pad. Well, there's like 250,000 of them on Amazon. Powerbot, Koolpad, Docooler, iClever, Choetech, TechPro, RayPower, Juiced Systems. And that's just on my...

    How strong is the screen?

    So, I'm new to Samsung and just got my S5 a couple of days ago. I've had three-straight Motorola Droids. With those and their gorilla glass, the screen was practically unbreakable. For me, at least. I dropped each of those phones many times and never used a case. The screen looks just as...
