    RAW Photos saved in S7 - where to find?

    Hello. I took hundreds of photos on my S7 Active a month ago, with the option to save raw turned on. I understand that these are saved alongside the .JPG files with an extension .DNG However, looking in the DCIM camera folder, I find no DNG files. I checked just now, and the option to save...

    Pending camera upgrades?

    I was wondering if there is any news about pending camera upgrades (By software!), especially in light of reviews mentioning the new Moto Z2 Play having the same camera hardware, but actually being GOOD for low light photos.

    Are you happy with your G5 Plus?

    The whole thing, FLASH cartoon, and heavily accented "Hello Moto" is embarassing. always making me wonder if I bought a phone for 14 year olds. The Axon 7 is similar: the bootup graphics are awful and seem borrowed from an ancient "Sega Genesis". The iPhone and Samsung bootups are modern and...

    Anyone compared G5 Plus to iPhone SE?

    The iPhone SE is tiny and cramped to type on and read compared to the nicely-sized Moto line.

    Are you happy with your G5 Plus?

    re: bad signal Take it back? The Moto G 5th's I bought: two of them. seem to have great reception compared to other phones I have used recently.

    Not sure what you mean. Perhaps you need to put up two links, so we can compare? Regardless, the link you gave has a $184.99 price, and not $229: List Price: $229.99 Price: $184.99 Free Shipping for Prime Members You Save: $45.00 (19%)

    Are you happy with your G5 Plus?

    Very pleasantly surprised: seems snappier overall than the S7 Active I am coming off of. The 64GB memory is a great improvement over the S7 that was always running out and needed "Active" management. The camera image quality is worse then the Samsung S7 Active, pretty bad in fact, in low...

    At&t unlocked for use on T-Mobile glitching

    Looking back on the unlocked S7 Active ordeal, I am convinced that by default the phone won't work with certain T-Mobile towers, probably including the important Band 12. I can't find a way to make all of its radios work to the full extent with T-Mobile towers. The Axon 7, in contrast, ships...

    Galaxy S8 Active coming in the near future!

    Lucky you. I called a few different AT&T stores for a second opinion, and they were all "no". You found a good AT&T person.

    s8 Active - no love?

    Very true. Amazing considering that since June 2016 until a couple of days ago (ignoring a few weeks of Bruckheimering Notes), the S7 Active was the top-of-the-line model from one of the two global cell phone titans.

    Galaxy S8 Active coming in the near future!

    Not incorrect or outdated. I said "AT&T and Samsung released this". That is completely correct. I purchased one of the first in the stores on the day it was released. I found out later a large proportion of them were defective in the waterproofing. They told me they would not take it back and...

    Any app for android phone like Samsung Knox

    I use Knox to keep separate instances of apps that don't otherwise allow it: such as Skype. That is what I'd like a Knox alternative for.

    Galaxy S8 Active coming in the near future!

    I'm not excited, considering my experiences with the Galaxy S7 Active. - AT&T and Samsung released this with certain promises of water resistance. When it was found out the claims didn't "hold water", they refused to take the phones back for good ones. - The abominably late Nougat OS update...

    At&t unlocked for use on T-Mobile glitching

    "Don't you love the canned "limited support" line." I can't begrudge them not giving the most full-on support for an AT&T phone, considering that T-Mobile can't be expected to know all the quirks of it. However, despite this claim, I've been on the phone with T-Mobile support for HOURS trying...
