    All S9 S9+ owners using tempered Glass

    Good to see some other positive options besides whitestone . I am not too enthused about pouring glue all over my screen ...lol. It occurs to me that someone should possibly make full adhesive ,possibly UV cured and someone mentioned Zagg as full glue . I think I would rather have a flat...

    S9 Samsung text app doesn't allow left/right swiping to text/call person on text page

    Yes! This is odd . It means when you look through text messages and decide to call one of them- You can NOT just call them from that page ! Samsung should add this to phone App update ANOTHER 'eccentricity' is the Main Dialer Screen has no way to hang up or end a call. Normally it goes to...

    Paste numbers in the dialer while on a call

    My Galaxy Alpha did all of that ...but Galaxy S9 I can not paste from Skype or back or to another call or text etc. Not good for multitasking forwarding info etc ...while talking ..I have VOLTE for great Data and Voice simultaneously but need to copy and paste from Clipboard ...

    No missed calls notifcation on s9

    When I try that I can check badges BUT the other options can not be turned on ...click and nothing. Seems like some menus are incomplete and this is two weeks old S9 Tmo. For example in Calls Menu - I SHOULD be able to FILTER missed calls / dialed calls etc. Just in the Recent Calls or...

    Curved screen only? Why not flat option?

    I had a flat screen on my Galaxy Alpha with the glass protectors and that is a rugged little phone. I love the S9 but even more if flat screen for durability. I am lobbying for S10 Pro as I have said . with 4000 MAH battery and flat screen would be nice but Samsung will probably need to use...

    AT&T finally put out a security update.

    Are you sure ? I wondered about that and before I download it I am doing some homework. Not on AT&T - but this download is huge 750 meg. On my last phone a factory unlocked Alpha - every software update increased the size of the Operating System , lowered the amount of free RAM and obviously...

    what was your first smartphone?

    My first smartphone was LG Motion on Metro PCS one of the first phones on the planet to have continuous VOLTE . It was on Metro PCS in 2012 and I think Metro was first with full VOLTE also. VOLTE is not just for voice quality it is for simultaneous Voice and Data on LTE so you can look up the...

    Is the S9 really too big?

    I came from the compact extremely rugged little Galaxy Alpha to S9 .. Surprisingly the S9 with it's tall but NARROW profile ( almost as narrow as the 4.7" screen Alpha ) even with a slim case is VERY ergonomic - It fits in my pocket in jeans in the car -surprised by this . I wondered why it...

    Galaxy S9 - Case for Protection Recomendations

    I got the Otterbox Clear Symmetry . Has a tight fit heavy clear around entire phone and high raised ridges at top and bottom. I almost feel like the side edges should go up above the curved edges - even if it slightly interferes ...but no one does that. The clear bumper feels like a slim case...

    Screen Protector.

    Yes I had 3 different tempered glass screens on my Galaxy Alpha over a few years - I was surprised that the screens really absorbed the impacts and cracked - leaving the gorilla glass screen unaffected. The Alpha was/ is a much more rugged phone than S9 ( super rigid frame and only flat glass...

    Totally Disappointed with battery size. Why?

    Agreed ! Super thin phones are silly . Remember what *Albert Einstein said : 'No one ever got l__d because they had a super slim stylish phone.' *Might not have actually been Einstein who said it.

    Totally Disappointed with battery size. Why?

    Well..yes but that is usually limited to a few Carriers - although more now than before. A little tougher to put in pocket. Has an easy to scratch plastic screen protector pre installed - the worst part . Although IF there was an S9 Active available already on TMO - I would have probably got...

    Totally Disappointed with battery size. Why?

    I have asked about this - I have the S9 - my FIRST phone without removable batteries- I switched over from the rugged little Galaxy Alpha 850M which has both speakers fire but not as loud as S9 and the clear Wolfson Audio.. I AM getting excellent battery life from S9 compared to most and using...

    Smart stay

    I think Smart Stay is very very smart and wants you to look ONLY at the Sensor and not at the screen .....lol. Just kidding but smart stay worked sometimes on my Alpha but just got S9 and the smart stay is ignoring me ... I seem to get a very very brief popup about Sensor blocked but I have a...

    Smart stay.... Nope

    It doesn't work for me either ...it even gave me a pop up to check if sensor is blocked . Case is not near the sensor . THAT is a Smartphone - blaming something else for Smartstay not working lol. Great phone though- getting very long Screen On Time and the AUDIO is what I have been waiting...
