Go to ApkMirror to download the Samsung+ Beta version 11.x something and once you open the app there should be a little banner about the beta, and register. I waited about 10 minutes before going to the system settings and checking for the beta update. It pulled it and just finished on my...

It's an Android Pie thing where the apps just download and auto update (if enabled for auto app updates) in the background. Because my S9 still shows progress due to Oreo. You get used to it and frees up resources I'm assuming is the reason by Google.

I'm loving the device so far, it'll probably be a main device until the OP7 comes, I may try the Nokia 7.1 as a break device. I'm getting insane battery life, granted I've been on strictly WiFi in an Airbnb since I picked it up from T-Mobile on launch day. It'll get it's first real test when I'm...

I went from the S9 to the 6T and the only things I wish were improved is the ppi, a screen this large should be pushing around 450 to 500 ppi but it's not bad. I was splitting time with the OnePlus 6 before I sold it to get ready for the 6T and the S9 which I just had on my JOD since March.

going to pickup my black so right now!

3:50 am Departure scan from Pensacola FL which means it's now on a truck either going to/arriving at the Panama City center or straight to my UPS pickup location. I'm hoping for the latter so I can go grab it on my lunch or at the very least after work today.

Finally have a date of 3/13/18 by end of day after compulsive refreshing of all my apps and webpages this weekend. 2nd day air so it's possible I'll be able to pick up from my pickup location on my lunch break tomorrow. First pre-order for a phone ever and I hate the experience of it, it's nerve...

Seeing as how it was the only update out of the box the day I got it yesterday is crazy. I didn't even really get a chance to run my normal setup process with the phone

Anyone having constant reboots on December Patch? I'm "using" my US Unlocked S8+ that I got from B&H yesterday and it'll just freeze up and reboot itself. It's done it like 20 times, even froze during a factory reset and trying to get it set back up. Luckily I have my trusty Pixel XL.

NvM, mine is AQL1

I'm on December Patch with my US unlocked S8+ and I've had it reboot on me 3 times, while performing simple tasks...so it's brought that LoL. Probably an isolated thing though

I'm going to buy a Note 8 from Samsung with the trade offers. $400 for a Pixel XL I picked up for $200 is too hard to pass up. But my questions are.... 1. Has anyone had issues with Samsung's Trade in process and got a lower payout or told their trade in was not up to snuff? 2. How are...

I was using Verizon by way of Straight Talk. I did switch to Verizon's prepaid service while picking up a Pixel 2 after trading in an iPhone 7 I had lying around. I believe it was more a Straight Talk provision thing because when I placed my Straight Talk Sim in the Pixel 2 it didn't want to...

It's probably a dumb question but does the Always on Display shift position periodically or is it relying on the way it kinda dims itself after a bit to fight against burn in? I really want to use the feature it's one of my favorite things AMOLED displays can offer.

I think my favorite thing to share is the portrait mode on both cameras. The second may be the Kinda Blue (really it's Grey or Robin Egg Blue to me), but that may change if I swap it for a white or black model.
