    how to protect myself in case S8 repeats Note 7 fire fiasco? (still unable to get refund on Note 7)

    I still have the Verizon Galaxy Note 7, which I'm unable to get refunds from either Samsung or Verizon. The reason? I bought the phone using 2-year subsidized Verizon pricing, but it has never had a Verizon or any other U.S. SIM card inside. (cut up the SIM card as soon as I received the...

    S7 and Nougat?

    after more than a week using the Nougat on my S7, I honest can't tell what the difference between Masrhmallow and Nougat is. Sure, many things have changed cosmetically,, but for 99% of the things that I do on a daily basis, I have no idea what the Nougat fuss is all about. :) :(

    What are the chances that Verizon Note5 will see Nougat update by Thanksgiving 2017?

    What are the chances that Verizon Note5 will see Nougat update by Thanksgiving 2017? Yes, I know Verizon is slow, but I just want to know if I should keep my hopes up.

    Liquid damage legal recourse?

    Thanks! I'm sending my therapist's bills to you... :( back to the water resistant issue: even an American Airlines Boeing 737 was not immune to water damage when a flight attendant spilled a soda... causing the plane to make an emergency landing... Can American Airlines sue Boeing? :D...

    Liquid damage legal recourse?

    One day... Apple will "invent" a waterproof iPhone rated to at least 100 meters and a few months after that, Samsung will have one as well... :) (or vice versa)

    Liquid damage legal recourse?

    I must have neglected to mention that when I was a kid, my biggest fears were sharks and exploding balloons. Having 12 airbags in my current car is not a very comforting thought. Yes, I know it's for my safety, but they are still essentially just balloons. :) :(

    Verizon allowing early upgrades

    I just entered my Verizon account info a few minutes, the Best Buy website showed that my other line is eligible. If you are a Verizon customer, did you enter all the information correctly?(including the account PIN#, if there is one) If you're sure your line is still under 2-year...

    Liquid damage legal recourse?

    Today's cars come with lots of airbags. My most recent car comes with 12 airbags. TWELVE!!! I thought it was a joke until the service manager pointed out all 12 to me. 1 in the steering wheel, 1 under the steering wheel, 4 in the dashboard, 2 in the front seats, 4 in all the doors. Of...

    Asurion Out Of Stock on AT&T Note 5 64gb

    I own many Android and iPhones. Don't really prefer one over the other. Both have pros and cons. However, I do have respect for how Apple refurbishes their iPhones and make them as good, if not better, than new iPhones. (unlike Samsung and other manufacturers)

    Liquid damage legal recourse?

    Wednesday, July 27, 2078. (but I left the morning open) I do everything on a tightly-controlled schedule. (probably doesn't explain my obsession with 600M or 1000M dive watches... and having never taken any of the 6 watches to more than the beach)
