    Bixby

    Same here; the folks at the store didn't even realize they were able to sell it on the day I bought. I don't use Bixby, but would really be happy if the button could be re-purposed without running a specialized app to do that. I think that extra button would have been much more helpful to...

    My 'Galaxy S8 Active' Review and opinion that AT&T wouldn't accept.

    Yes, the phone is pretty impressive, but for the cost, I'd expect that. As for updates, that issue was the only thing that caused me to hesitate. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2" Wi-Fi-only tablet a few yrs back, (supposedly their flagship tablet at the time and, if memory serves, at a...

    My 'Galaxy S8 Active' Review and opinion that AT&T wouldn't accept.

    Yes, it was more expensive than I expected, and I believe more than my previous phone (an LG G3). Yes, AT&T said something to the effect that my review didn't meet their requirements or standards; I forget the exact wording. I'm not surprised; some of my comments easily qualify as negatives...

    Are you dumping your S8 for the S8 Active?

    My LG G3 was acting-up big time, so dumped it for S8 Active just yesterday. So far, very frustrating; able to easily connect to home network but with significant difficulty connecting to internet for anything. I keep getting msg "Internet may not be available". WTH...what does that mean? What...

    is it worth buying Samsung Note Pro 12.2 in 2016 or early 2017?

    From what I can find from a lengthy search, the biggest drawback has been that Samsung appears to have abandoned further android updates for the Note Pro 12.2". (Considering the relatively high cost of what, at the time, was supposedly their "flagship" tablet, I'm terribly disappointed in...

    Atrix Update: Version 4.1.57 ......

    From my perspective, that seems to be an arguable point. (And perhaps an indication of some laziness on the part of AT&T)? How can they justify penalizing you for the time it was in their hands and not your's?
