    The Samsung fold or Motorola razor fold

    The prices will come down as these go through iterations, so that isn't something that worries me. The Motorola one is what I am interested in. My wife in particular has been hanging on to an iPhone SE because she wants a small phone, and frequently still mentions her old flip phone that she...

    att no Gif

    I'm also on ATT and you get GIF with SwiftKey... but also don't get it with Samsung keyboard. I don't use GIFs, so don't really care at this point. One question I have... if you send a GIF like that to an iPhone, what do they get? Do they have to click on a link to see the GIF, or does it...

    Oreo messed up notifications

    I get no indication on the Messages app that I have unread messages; on an AT&T Note 8. This is really, really annoying. I have to really pay attention to the notifications or completely miss messages.

    Note 8, Oreo/Touchwiz9 Update, & Where is the other half of my damn keyboard.

    I have them on my ATT Note 8... of course IF I pick the Samsung keyboard. If I pick a different keyboard then they go away. I know its a dumb question, but did the folks missing it use a different keyboard.

    Apple reportedly halves iPhone X production after disappointing holiday sales

    Apple's whole product line is very disjointed now across the board. With iPhones, they have a hodgepodge of products that don't make any sense, other than they are just selling old models. Samsung's flagship line of S8, S8+, Note 8, and S8 Active give you four distinct models that make sense...

    Update rendered Frontier garbage

    Mine (AT&T LTE) was very laggy after the update. I did a factory reset and it's been great since. I'm getting about 3 days on a charge, no lagging, and enjoying the new features.

    How to disable "Auto-Connect" from Smart View

    Found this thread and its old, but I'm having this problem on my Note 8 and not finding any way to solve it. I have numerous devices in my home that I can cast too, and when I hit the Smart View button it automatically connects to one which is making this whole function unusable. I'm upstairs...

    Firmware Update Gear S3

    As an update ... running Tizen 3.0.1 on an AT&T LTE Gear S3. I initially saw some new sluggishness after the update. When I lifted my wrist, turned the dial, typed in a PIN, etc... always seemed like a slight hesitation. I did a factory reset and that went away. Since doing the reset, I've...

    Tizen 3 sucks!!

    Another update... after ny factory reset on Tizen 3.0.1, I've gone 48 hours from full charge and still have 48% this morning when I woke up. I've not gone to the gym in those days (which does drain things since I stream Spotify during workout), but I have used it pretty much as normal. I also...

    My 3 month old note 8 has status bar burn in help please

    Sounds like you are getting rid of it, but just for future reference... if you actually were dealing with them the way you are talking about it, I'm not surprised you didn't get resolution. If I was dealing with a customer acting like you have here, I would have hung up on you to. Generally...

    Gear S3 & Android Auto issues

    With this Automate script in place, what happens if it really can't reconnect, like if you go to the gym and leave your phone in the car?

    Gear S3 & Android Auto issues

    Did you try the approach listed in this post - https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=799258&p=6058352&viewfull=1#post6058352 ? This works fine in my Ford F150. In our new 2018 CRV, it doesn't seem to have the issue so I can connect it whenever.

    Tizen 3 sucks!!

    I was getting lagging across the board after the Tizen 3 update - slow to turn on when I lifted my wrist, slow to respond when I turned the dial, etc.. I finally did a factory reset yesterday and that resolved the issue, so I'd recommend it. My Gear S3 is back to its quickness. I recommend...

    Tizen 3 sucks!!

    I wouldn't say that Tizen 3 sucks, but is anyone else seeing any lagging after the update? I'm not having battery drain issues, but its noticeably less smooth after the update. When I lift, there is a hesitation before the watch face comes on. When I turn the dial, there is often a...
