    How is the battery life on the Note 10+ and especially the 5G if you have it

    I went from the Note 8 to the Note 10+ 5G. The difference isn't worth it for the money unless you get a good deal imho. I'm never one of the 9-10 SOT people. I like my phone bright and I like having the resolution on max. I do disable 5G since it is not built out in my area. The best thing...

    Anyone dropped their S7 Edge and it didn't Crack??!?!?!

    Re: Anyone dropped their S7 Edge and it didnt Crack??!?!?! Yes, I've dropped my S7 Edge once from just over waist height. It landed flat on the back with no harm done. I do have it in a Spigen Neo-hybrid case, though. That probably helped. :)

    I'm considering buying the LG v10 or Note 4 instead of the Samsung Note 5.

    I'm a Note 5 owner since last August and a stalwart Note fan (I've owned all except for the first because it wasn't available on Verizon). I'm one of those who didn't need the SD card and removable battery, so the Note 5 was the right upgrade for me (and what a marvelous upgrade it was!). I've...

    Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.

    So glad this thread this was here! I had disabled my download manager when Farcebook was trying to sideload their app to my phone over data network. It was the only way to get it to stop long enough to delete the mobile app. Reminder: your disabled apps reside at the bottom of the app list...

    Facebook "Install new build" notification?

    I had the same issue with the app trying to install over data network instead of over wifi. Every time that I did a force stop on the download, it would just start up again in a few seconds. I eventually uninstalled FB and did a force stop and all went quiet. Supposedly it was only sent to...

    [GUIDE] How To Unlock Bootloader and Root Verizon Galaxy Nexus

    Re: [GUIDE] How To Unlock Bootloader and Root Verizon Galaxy Nexu Had mine rooted before the 4.0.4 update. I lost root, of course. I was still unlocked so just proceeded with the root tool. I've been at the Google lock screen for a good 20 minutes now. When should I start to worry? Update...

    [GUIDE] How To Unlock Bootloader and Root Verizon Galaxy Nexus

    Re: [GUIDE] How To Unlock Bootloader and Root Verizon Galaxy Nexu Thanks for all the work!!! It was so easy to unlock and root with you guide that i'm kicking myself for not doing it earlier. Now I just have to tackle the fear of flashing custom roms.

    I Screwed Up!

    @bob, you're not the only lucky one, we're just not as vocal about it. I've had mine since Dec 15th with Google Wallet installed 1st day. I've never gotten less than 20 hours on regular battery after the first 3 days of use and have not had one single signal issue. True, the phone has...

    Weak wifi signal

    My SGN is getting reception in my house in places that my Fascinate and Eris didn't. Could just be the better of bad radios, but it seems good to me.

    Exchange forces encryption.

    I had the same thing happen with my SGN. I wasn't forced to encrypt on my Fascinate running 2.2 before this phone, I was only forced to put in a pin or swipe pattern. It doesn't seem to have affected the performance any, just annoying to put in a pin in the middle of boot up making it take longer.
