    Is my S9+ camera defective?

    Technical details of RAW files aside, the main point of the post was that the Pie update has helped improve the camera. This is still great news, thanks for letting us know.

    Is my S9+ camera defective?

    So don't laugh at me, but I've got what is probably a stupid question that just might be related to this. When I unboxed my phone I called myself looking it over carefully to make sure I'd removed all of the protective film. Yet every time I turn around I find another small piece somewhere. I...

    Linking Ringtone and Notification Volumes Together

    I understand that I can do it in android by using the volume key, hitting the down arrow & then adjusting the notifications volume with the slider, but as a software consultant I'm always preaching efficiency and using the multiple picks to adjust the volumes just seems SO inefficient to me lol.

    Linking Ringtone and Notification Volumes Together

    What am I missing here, why can I adjust the ringtone volume with the volume keys, but then I have a make a separate effort to adjust the notification volume after that? Wouldn't it be much simpler and more efficient to be able to link the 2 together and adjust the volume of both at the same...

    Do unlocked Samsung phones get updates quicker?

    Oh no, I have no expectations at all of getting Oreo on my S6 lol. As you said, I've already gotten my allotment of updates for that phone. I was only wondering how long it would take an unlocked S8 to get it vs a carrier branded S8.

    Do unlocked Samsung phones get updates quicker?

    I'm a Verizon customer looking to upgrade my Galaxy S6 and I have a question for the gurus out there. I'm considering getting an unlocked S8 instead of the carrier version maknly because I've always heard unlocked phones get updates sooner. Is this still true or do the carrier versions get...

    Nougat Battery Drain

    I got the Nougat update about 2 weeks ago. I backed everything up, did the update, immediately did a factory reset and reinstalled my apps and data. I had great battery life until yesterday. I'm not sure what changed, but I had to charge my phone 3 times to make it thru the day. I think the...
