    Conserving your battery...

    I am not a power user, I don’t go more than two hours of screen time so I am not your typical user. I will say I have it in dark mode all time since I like my phones dark easier on my eyes. I also keep my Bluetooth and Wi-Fi off most of the time, since I don’t need my phone broadcasting...

    Do you use your phone less now?

    I use it much less. I was concerned about battery life but I am going 17 hours off charger and when I put it back on the charger my battery is around 45%. But my screen on time is only about 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day. I don’t game, my phone is used to communicate. I thought I was a power use, but...

    What was THE reason you (finally) bought the Flip?

    Yes form factor, and getting out of the apple eco system.

    I Love this Phone!

    The first thing I noticed with the Flip 3 was also the build quality. I had the Note 20 Ultra, and the S21 and both of them to me did not have the same quality as the Flip 3.

    A case that won't pop off?

    Using leather here too. So far it has been perfect. Might be the first time I don’t get a second case.

    Switch between platforms

    I am just trying out OneNote - it is a little different, but I think once I get the foundation down it will be a good solution. I have read that in the near future I might be able to sync my notes from Samsung over to OneNote - so I am keeping a lookout for that!

    Samsung Will Not Allow Adding Premium Care+ to ALL Note20s post-purchase

    Yes - I used the Samsung members app today and was able to add the premium care to my Ultra. I had to view more on the benefits section and scroll down the page to find it the link to sign up.

    Switch between platforms

    I just made the switch from 11 Pro to the N20 Ultra - This time I spend a few extra minutes to uncouple from iMessage, and did the transfer sync by cable. I was surprised on how easy the transfer was and that everything moved over very seamless. I was concerned about getting all my Apple notes...

    Tell us when you get the 7.0 update

    I now have the updated, but used the beta program to get it. On Verizon, no luck on getting it to download. So far I have not seen any issues with 7.0.

    Is owning a Nexus 6 in 2016 worth sticking with?

    I bought a Nexus 6, and just opened it up today. Wow - I heard it was a large phone, but had no idea. Based on what I am seeing no more need for my iPad mini. I wanted a phone that could double as a tablet, looks like I might have made the right choice. I know see what everyone has been talking...

    Ne us 5X vs Moto Maxx (Droid Turbo)

    I have gone through about 6 phones over the last year. iPhone 6+, Old Galaxy Nexus, Note 3, Note 4, BB Classic 10, LG G4 - (Ordered up a One Plus 3, had to send it back did not see that it would not work with Verizon) and now the 5X. Out of all these phones (love BB, but it is dying) so far I...

    Bluetooth battery drain

    Another one I found that was doing the same thing was citifyd - it is a parking app for here in Portland, OR. It is really cool, but after I saw the drain I removed it and no more problems. I now have my BT set to just the basic items and hopefully be good too.

    How long does your Nexus 5x battery last

    As I see with everyone's posts it really is based on how you use your phone. Currently I have my 5X set to do the basics. I talk, text, email, and surf a little bit. So based on my needs I can go over a day without needing a charge. One thing I did not do on this phone was hook up my work email...

    Not liking the Nexus 5X because of lag

    I received my 5X last Friday the 1st. Over the last 6 days I have not had any issues with Lag, then again, most of my uses for the phone are simple. At this point I am happy to be on this phone, one of the better I have had in a long time.
