    iPhone User Switching

    While I have used both iOS and Android for years, my family is finally making the move to Android. My youngest (12), chose the S10e after using a Moto G6 for little while. My wife wanted to give it a try after a number of frustrations with iOS and call quality. I let her try my Note 10 Plus...

    Note 10 Plus inconsistent media low volume

    Interesting. I didn't realize this was an issue, but I have not had a reason to Google it either. I would think it will be fixed in an update if this is a wife spread thing. I was not able to recreate it. Good luck.

    Are cloud services worth the money?

    I use both windows and Mac actually. OneDrive actually works quite well on the Mac. I was actually very surprised. I’m new to Mac so I’m still learning, but I am continually surprised at how well Microsoft products work. I’m sure there may be some missing features that windows has, but for what...

    Are cloud services worth the money?

    I've used it for a few years now. At first it wasn't a lot just because I was so tied up in Google Drive, but then I've slowly migrated over and I like it. It had nothing to do with Samsung. I just find it works well with both my Note and laptop. Somehow it seems to have a little more continuity...

    Are cloud services worth the money?

    I suppose you could if you moved your photos to Google Drive. Mine back up to Google Photos. I don't believe you can directly backup to Google drive. Google separated the two services last year to make it simple for users. Wasn't an issue for me so I didn't pay attention to the details. I...

    Is it worth to upgrade to s20 ultra from note 10 plus?

    The real question is, is it worth it to you. For me, absolutely not. I like my Note series. If you don't use the SPen, then maybe it's something to consider. But then it would make zero sense to jump back to the Note in the fall. I tell people that ask my opinion, if you don't use the spen...

    No new notes?

    Nobody knows. Including Samsung employees. I mean I'm sure there are some employees somewhere that know but probably not the employees we would run into in a Samsung or Best buy store. I can definitely see the Note and Fold line coming together in some way, but I'd be surprised if it was this...

    Are cloud services worth the money?

    I have a 512gb Note plus a 256 gb SD card and I still absolutely use cloud storage. Let me me clear, I don't even come close to using that 768gb of storage on my phone. I do use Google drive and OneDrive extensively. I've shifted to OneDrive for almost everything, but still have an...

    Samsung S 20

    I plan to do the same. I have not done the S series since the S7. Like me some SPen.

    February security patch rolling out

    My son received the February update on his S10e last week. We are both on Verizon. His S10e has consistently received the monthly updates before my Note 10+. Not a big deal. As long as we are getting them within the 30 days, I feel like its reasonable. Some months will be quicker than others.

    How difficult is it to replace the original screen protector?

    A lot of the better ones come with a guide as well which makes it pretty easy. I believe that's only with the glass ones though. A lot of people really like the Whitestone Dome protector. I have put them on my family's phones. It's expensive but it is nice. I don't put anything on my screen...

    Pixel 4 worth it?

    Glad you like it. I'm a big fan of the Galaxy Note line and my family is mostly iPhone, but I have found the Pixel 4 XL in my pocket more and more. It's just a great experience all around. I also miss the fingerprint scanner, but the face unlock is excellent and combined with LastPass, I have no...

    Goodlock 2020 update inbound!

    Do you actually know this or is this just an opinion? It doesn't matter to me. I've moved on from the buttons, but just stating something doesn't make it so. The media does enough if this type of "reporting".

    Reason for Buying S20

    Wow. What type of pictures are you finding unusable? I have both the Note 10 plus and a Pixel 4 XL. While I totally agree that the Pixel has the better camera for pictures, I definitely would not say the Note pictures are unusable. Again, I think the Pixel is next level good so I do get that...

    Note10: Side Lighting problems when face down, bad call quality when speaking via speakers

    You definitely should not be having those issues. I am a little confused though. If you have only had the phone for one week, it should be within the return window. Most return windows are at least 14 days. Why would you need to have it repaired two times first? I have never heard of such a...
