s21 purchased from Samsung but locked to T-mo, no issues as described in this post. Hope it gets fixed for you all soon!

Last couple of generations of galaxy phones (s10 and s20) have been generally problem free for me, and am happily upgrading to the s21. However, due to kids being on iPhones, and our oldest going to college this fall, my wife and I will switch to the new iPhones that will be released later this...

Re: S21 Reservation Page up..anyone jumping?? No brainer to upgrade from the s20 to s21. $700 trade in credit on the s20 for a $799 phone, plus $25 credit for pre-registering for the pre-order: net cost before sales tax was $74. Oh yeah, plus the $160 in store credits, and sales on items in the...

What you said. My post was only for the benefit of someone considering switching (for whatever reason) from iPhone to Samsung. My observations from someone who tried living the Apple life for a few months. Just my opinion, and it is based on the daily user experience. Obviously if someone is...

I think it is worse on the regular 11 than on the pro versions because of the LCD screens, but I can say it was absolutely disgusting and aggravating. For the same $1,000 the s20 hardware beats the pants off the 11 hardware. I didn't notice the email issues back in November when I first used the...

For anyone considering switching to iPhone from Android, or vice versa, here is one reason if you use email a lot on your phone for work purposes. I was going to switch to iPhone in November to get on the same platform as my kids. Got the regular iPhone 11 but kept my s10 just in case. Within...

TLDR Background next few paragraphs...scroll down to "START HERE" if you just want to read about the infotainment update... I have a late 2018 Honda Accord (the new body style). I'd routinely connect the Accord infotainment to my Galaxy s10 hot spot during the course of 2019 an tap on the...

Thanks. Bummer!

So I have become super annoyed by a tiny thing, which is the requirement to put in my password every morning when I first check my phone, or after not using it for at least 4 hours. I have face unlock set as well as fingerprint, but must put in the password every single morning. I tapped on the...

Hey, long time Android user here who switched to an iPhone 11 in November and just went back to Android with the regular s20. TLDR version is yes, the s20 is great, very stable and smooth experience. For me it was a significant upgrade over the s10 in many ways, and solved a fatal flaw for me in...

I didn't either when I used my s10 prior to the iPhone. At least to the extent when I started using the s10 again just a couple of weeks ago. I really think something happened to the s10 while it was sitting on a shelf for the past 2.5 months. It was laggier than I recall it being pre-iPhone...

Here are shots at 1, 10, 20, 30 (5x is not a preset choice though you could finger-pinch it to get there). I'd say I was about 20-25 ft away from the tree in the pic. Seems to me that up to 10x will probably be usable for decent pictures to share on social media. Anything above that will be...

Quick take for those not interested in the s20 ultra or +. I personally haven't seen much in the way of reviews or first takes for the regular s20, so if you are wondering if this is a good upgrade from the regular s10 here is my take. Lifelong Android phone guy here. In December I made the jump...

From my "just regular" s20. Night shot. Room was almost pitch black, and this picture turned out MUCH better than the same shot taken previously with my s10 using night shot (or the Gcam app). Very impressed with the camera so far overall. PS: there is a nightlight or some power brick in that...

Final Update...I hope. Took the Accord to the dealer and they did indeed install a software update. Got it back today and Carplay works just fine. Got the iPhone 11 set up again, which was really, really easy compared to setting up a new Android phone - even when I install from a Nova launcher...
