    Why is it so difficult to set up a new Android device.

    Under the umbrella of my original post... I've noticed after deleting Yahoo everything and disabling Verizon messages if I restart the device, I have Yahoo everything once again on my device along with Verizon messages active again. I remember on my older Note devices there was a package called...

    Why is it so difficult to set up a new Android device.

    I can verify that according to my Google-fu and Package Disabler Pro, that Verizon blocks Samsung Cloud because they have their own cloud service they're pushing. When I look in PDP I see the app and can favorite it or add to widget but when I do this I still don't see the app or widget. Verizon...

    Why is it so difficult to set up a new Android device.

    Back up my data is on, my backup account is my google account, then there's just automatic restore. Maybe this is not available on the Verizon model.

    How or where do you find Samsung Cloud?

    Why is it so difficult to set up a new Android device.

    I appreciate your input. Let me say first off, I love technology, heck my day job is as a Product Support Engineer for a leading CNC manufacturer. That being said, I believe it's perfectly fair to compare the two platforms. But you're absolutely correct, both platforms have many positives and...

    Why is it so difficult to set up a new Android device.

    I'm not here to bash Android, I've had tons of Android devices and I currently own a Note 10+. I performed a factory reset on the device because I went back to my iPhone and was just going to sell the Note. However, looking at the box there on my desk got me wanting to dive back in, maybe just...

    Regularly switching between the Note and an iPhone

    Thanks for the response, I kinda thought this was a Verizon issue. Either I don't switch between the two or I but Verizon every time I do.

    Regularly switching between the Note and an iPhone

    As the title would suggest, I have both the Note 10 plus and a iPhone 11 Pro Max. When I move my sim card from the iPhone to the Note it's pretty seamless, I really don't have any issues aside from a few apps that I have to tweak, (such as Cyclemeter). However, when switching back to the iPhone...

    For the loyal Samsung note users are you sticking with this for long ?

    I've actually been thinking about this lately as well, I've bounced around quite a bit between an iPhone and Android, (specifically the Note). I remember setting aside my iPhone 4S and going to the Note 3, then going to an iPhone 6+, then bouncing to a Note 5, back to a iPhone 6S+. Then I got...

    A different notification display

    I figured it out. On the lock screen if I tap to wake, I've got two little up arrows, (see image). If I long press and drag up, this little notification window pops up. Cool.

    A different notification display

    If I do I don't know how I did... If that makes sense.

    A different notification display

    I got it to do it again but still can't reliably figure out what I'm doing to make it come up this way.

    A different notification display

    I've accidentally brought this "different notification display" up on my Note 10+, it seems like I've swiped on the lock screen in some secret squirrel manner and have been able to bring this up a few times. I am running Nova Launcher... maybe something with that but for the life of me I can't...
