The last time I ordered from Slickwraps (earlier this year) it took something like a month to get my order. Never any communication about any delays or anything. One day, after I nearly forgot about it entirely, I suddenly got a shipping confirmation email.

I submitted a warranty request for my WSD on August 22 for spidering along the edges. To this day I still have not received any updates on it. Their website claims it is still in "Processing". After seeing drop tests for the Note 20 Ultra I'm actually thinking about pulling the screen...

I've had several Samsung watches and I've always been able to get notifications from Google Messages. I have a Galaxy Watch 3 and it's still working just fine. Notifications have to be enabled per-app in the Wearables app.

I had the Note 10+ for nearly a year before picking up the Note 20 Ultra. Kept the One UI launcher that entire time. Probably will keep it now too. My previous phones were Pixels, used the stock launchers on those too. Haven't really messed with changing up the launcher in a long time.

Apple lets you add AppleCare+ within 60 days of purchase. I guess this is one way Samsung isn't copying Apple.

I had a US AT&T Note 10+ bought from Best Buy that had a pre-installed screen protector on it. I left it on for a time before eventually replacing it with a WSD. I now have the US Unlocked Note 20 Ultra purchased direct from samsung.com and it most certainly did not have a pre-installed screen...

I got the N20U in Mystic Bronze. Really loving the matte finish/feel on the back. I almost don't want to put on my Spigen Tough Armor and risk rocking the phone naked.

I ordered on August 9th. Today, I got a notification that my phone has shipped. It has been picked up by Fedex and is scheduled for delivery on Wednesday!

I've had a Note 10 Plus since launch day. I still have the original box here. Know what is still inside the original box? The original earbuds, power brick, and USB cable, because I never used them. Not saying that is the case for everybody, but there are at least some people that would get...

Except with the Google Store Financing they actually do divide the purchase amount into 24 equal payments so as long as you make the monthly payment as required then you WILL pay it off in 24 months so there is no getting slammed with an insane accumulated interest rate. Other store promotional...

Eh, well, technically it is VERY bad for a lithium ion battery to hit "true" 0% charge. So much so that many batteries are designed not to charge once they are completely drained. HOWEVER, the batteries are usually calibrated in a way that 0% isn't TRUE 0% (there's actually some charge still...

Not having CDMA isn't really a deal-breaker for Verizon. After all, Verizon sells a LTE-only flip phone so if they don't care about a phone not having CDMA, why should anyone else? :D

I didn't run one on my Pixel XL (which my Note 8 is replacing). My Pixel doesn't have a single scratch on the screen. Ironically, I did scratch the hell out of the rear glass and I believe I did it while trying to apply a screen protector to the front. Normally I place my phone on a...

It vibrates when you have notifications and you pick it up. It does that to alert you to the fact that you have missed calls/messages/etc. You can turn it off by going to Settings > Controls tab > Motions > Smart Alert.

I noticed this early on and, honestly, I left it on 9.6MP. The 9.6 setting has a 16:9 aspect ratio, which fits the phone's screen perfectly, where as the 13MP setting is 4:3, leaving black bars on either side. Ultimately, this doesn't really matter much to me since I rarely ever take photos...
