    Does this update have any real impact on camera?

    Just got this update this morning. I was so excited to see the words "Performance of camera has been improved". Anyone know if it brings real image improvements? I've been experimenting but cant tell with my eyes.

    Switch from Samsung Messages to Android Messages so I can use RCS... worth it?

    Hope my title was descriptive enough. I'm with Rogers and they have decided to let Android Messages handle RCS messaging rather than the Stock Samsung App. I use stock because I find it works good with my Gear S3. Also if I only need one app on my phone why not? So two part question. Is...

    Spigen S9 plus Rugged Armor vs Neo Hybrid

    I'm hoping to get a new s9+ soon! I usually get Thinfit but this time around I'm skipping the insurance because I'm upgrading my whole family plan so it would not be cost effective to get insurance on 5 phones. That means reluctantly I want a drop protective case. I've narrowed it down to...

    Spigen Airskin?

    Did anyone get this one? https://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-s9-plus-air-skin I don't need any drop protection so thinner the better. But would need some top and bottom lip to allow face down safety on the table. If you have it and perhaps have had the Thinfit in the past do you have...

    Watchface placebo effect?

    I'm fairly new to my S3 classic (a couple months). I've been dabbling in third party watch faces. Is it just me or does nothing work as well (meaning low battery drain, quick, integrated with weather app etc) as the ones done by Samsung? The built in Samsung ones often have the shimmer...

    I had an update today (December 13th) and now S voice isn't working.

    Is S Voice down right now or is it my device?

    Sports scores?

    So I think I've done my due diligence to search the answer myself. I'm relatively new to Tizen with my Gear S3 classic. I've had a Pebble and android Wear in the past. I didn't think anything would surpass my beloved Pebble but I am so far loving it. Only issue I see so far is limited apps...

    Anyone else have a Samsung LED case that failed after a short time?

    So mad right now. I bought an LED case in May 2017 for my Samsung S7 and today the LED lights stopped working. They refuse to do anything about it. I'm sure it is just a poorly engineered product for durability. Pretty expensive plastic flip case to not have LED lights anymore 😠

    Google assistant repeats last voice dialogue Everytime I turn on my phone.

    Strange thing started happening. Anytime Google Assistant talks to me eg. "Reminder saved"... It keeps saying it everytime I wake up my phone. I have to force close the Google App to make it stop. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Time to revisit getting a smart watch?

    About 1 and a half years ago I tried to get into smartwatches... I ended up with a a Zenwatch. It was okay but I didn't think the tech had come to match the expectations yet so stopped wearing it. (Bad battery and touchy screen). After that I simplified and went with a Pepple. To be honest I...

    Viewing via Gear 360 app direct via media card not working

    I have a large card in my phone so like to keep my VR material handy there. If I try to view either a video or photo directly from the card it won't stitch the file before playing. If I copy the file to the phone and then play it it works. Any ideas? I'm not going to keep lots of huge files...

    Best way to use the official Backpack case?

    Well I noticed that the price of these have come down substantially so I have one on order. I did my research so I know all of the strikes against it. However I am a sucker for OEM accessories and I wanted a solution that keeps the bottom open so there you go. The way I see it, there are...

    Why did the threads that mostly discuss the Canada recall process get closed?

    Just wondering. I had a few updates to the process a couple days ago but didn't really have anywhere to leave them. I think it's all old news now anyways :)

    So how exactly does the QA process work in manufacturing?

    I'm wondering why Samsung can't just recall the phones that are affected by the battery/defect in question? If the problem is a particular battery can't they say exactly which phones are affected and then target correspondence to those people through the carriers? If they are doing a wide...

    Stock email app- archive instead of delete possible?

    Every once in a while I try to see how much I can rely on stock apps. Please don't judge me but I sometimes like to change up the look and feel of my device this way. I like the clean lines of the Samsung note 7 stock email app and thought I'd take it for a spin but the delete button deletes...

    Android Central App - what's up with these flawed updates??

    I think I will be switching to tapatalk from now on. The issue that plagued the last update re: logging out is fixed finally but now i cant seem to comment in a thread without tagging a quote or replying to someone. Also I have never been able to search within a certain forum with the app...

    The Note 7 will (likely) be my first Samsung. What do I need to know?

    I guess when using a non-Nexus phone you usually have two choices for everything: The stock version and the Google version. On the Note 7 we will see Grace UI so not sure how that factors in. For those with the Note 5 or other Samsung what have you chosen to use for: photo gallery...

    Why does Google make the Calendar so complicated??

    I am an Android user to the core. Never owned an iOS product. But I have to get this off my chest. I manage team schedules as a volunteer. These are the steps for an Android phone user to subscribe to a calendar on their phone: 1. Copy the link 2. Navigate to Google calendar on your...
