    SM-S926U - is the Sim what let's it go from CDMA to GSM?

    Thanks - I had no idea the CMDA network was gone - so do they use the same network as ATT & TMobile?

    Anyone go from an S10plus to the S24plus directly?

    I did find one reviewer the TheUnlockr who reviewe each phone individually I'd guess he'd use similar brightness on the screen for both - s10plus 2% battery remaining from 100% 4.75 hours of screen time. (not much other activity) S24plus 19% remaining screen time 5.75 hours of screen time...

    Anyone go from an S10plus to the S24plus directly?

    I kill processes I don't use often but I'm at the point with my S10 plus where I need to consider replacing the battery or replacing the phone. I was curious if anyone recently made the jump from the S10plus to the S24 plus. Did you notice much of a difference in battery life - in hours or...

    Anyone switch from the S10+ to the S24 - I'm curious about battery life.

    SM-S926U - is the Sim what let's it go from CDMA to GSM?

    Hello, I'm looking at getting a new phone to replace my S10. I'm on Verizon. I'd like to be able to travel overseas with it but don't know what locked vs. unlocked means. Some say they only work with Verizon, some say unlocked. I'm not sure if it is just a sim that determines it or if there are...

    Anyone switch from the S10+ to the S24 - I'm curious about battery life.

    You can look at specs - battery capacity, newer processor, different screen but the actual results might be more useful. Thanks

    Is the Sprint LG V50 the same as the Verizon V50?

    Years ago because of the difference in the bands and frequencies that Sprint and Verizon used, you couldn't fully use a some Sprint phones on Verizon and vice versa. Anyone know if the LG V50 is able to take advantage of all bands on both networks if you were to switch from one carrier to the...

    Hello, On all of my phones for years I've always used my BT headset to make calls - e.g. call Mary at work and it would go straight to my headset. About 2 weeks ago now when I say call Mary at work it will say Calling Mary at Work on Speakerphone. I don't want speakerphone and I can't...

    Galaxy S3 signal issue and Verizon support

    I still have the S3 with all the stock updates and the reception *****. I was in an office the other day where I had NO reception - couldn't make or receive a single phone call. The phone died by 3PM. In the mean time a person in the cubicle next to me was on her VERIZON iphone all day long...

    Problem with vlingo on the nexus

    Hello, I'm using the latest version of VLINGO but the stock 4.02 that came from Verizon. VLINGO works OK most of the time but I find it frustrating that when I activate it via my headset I have to wake the phone for it to start listening. On my Galaxy SII, it worked beautifully without that...
