    Pixel 2 Camera - is it really that good

    Keep in mind that a 128GB Pixel 2 XL is $950 which is the exact same price as a Note 8 & a 64GB card. At that price, it's hard to make excuses for Google on this one. The iPhone X and Note 8 have OIS on both lenses in that same price range and arguably more premium devices. I disagree that we...

    Pixel 2 Camera - is it really that good

    So obviously Google really but a ton of emphasis on the camera with the DXO score and portrait mode. But to me I still think they missed the boat by not including a dual camera. I understand they don't need it for imitation bokeh now but having the zoom/focal length difference is huge. Any...

    Swipe Down for Notification Shade Gesture

    This is the only reason I switched to Nova. I might have ended up there anyway but I was going to give TW a chance given it's cleaner now. But there is no way my finger can reach the notifications with 1 hand so TW lasted about an hour.

    Notifications not showing on always on Lock screen

    For some reason my notifications (texts/gmail) are not showing on the lock screen even though I have them selected to do so. It shows an icon but no preview of the message. It's like the notifications do not wake up the device. I even have these apps set to be priority notifications. I figured...

    Anyone dropped their S7 Edge and it didn't Crack??!?!?!

    My note 5 has a cracked back near the corner and I have no idea what caused it. I personally didn't drop it so either someone in my family did and didn't tell me or it was just the pressure of it in my pocket and possibly something else was in the pocket? No clue... just picked it up once and...

    Leather VS Metal

    About to pick up the watch and was going to order the black metal but after watching some reviews, I am now leaning towards the silver with black leather. Would love some comments from those of you who have them. Reasoning: I hear vibration is weak and I wear my leather watches tighter on my...

    Massive Verizon network issues with the Note 5 and VOLTE problems

    It should be any device with 1 radio...not sure if the M9 has a separate CDMA radio. Without a separate CDMA Radio, you would need to enable Advanced Calling (VOLTE) to get voice/data at the same time

    Massive Verizon network issues with the Note 5 and VOLTE problems

    I seem to be having major network related issues with the Note 5 on Verizon not present with the older Note phones. Biggest issue is in the attached image where the signal completely drops to 0 (usually indoors with the phone in my pocket) and it will refuse to reconnect to a network at...

    Still no family plan option on Google Play Music

    Trust me. I've hammered the refresh button a ton. I called Google and they said it had something to do with the fact that I was a red subscriber and the music service was just an add on for the music so it might not work since the sign up process takes place in the music app and not the youtube...

    Still no family plan option on Google Play Music

    It's been almost a week and I still only have the individual option for Google Music. Was this a slow release or is something up? I am very actively trying to purchase the family plan as I need Google Music on another account in my family. What's up with this. I am checking on my Note 5 with...

    Anyone Experience Low Cell Signal Strength With Note 5? (Verizon or...)

    Anyone having any luck? I am getting horrible building penetration on the Note 5. I find it unwilling to go to 3g very often which my Note 3 used to do more of. I wonder if the advanced calling using LTE now is forcing the phone to stay on LTE or something. It's been horrible for me. I'm half...

    Can Best Buy Charge me if I resell their contract phone for a profit?

    There is a time period in the contract that you have to keep the line open... Otherwise best buy doesn't get credit for the sale from the carrier. I don't remember what the amount of time is though. You don't need to keep it the full 2 years... It's definitely less than that Posted via the...

    Decisions - Nexus 6P or Samsung Note 5

    Re: Torn between Note 5 or Nexus 6P? I debated the 2 and settled on the Note 5 after a $200 best buy gift card promotion bringing the prices more inline. I hate that the 64GB version is $100 more on the Note but I sucked it up and paid it. Don't care much about the bloat because I use a 3rd...
