    The joy of the on-screen fingerprint sensor.

    I have been quite disappointed with the in screen FPS on my S20 Ultra. It's my first in screen senor and it is way too inconsistent. Lately, I've re-registered the prints using only two fingerprints. Now seems a little better, but still poor. All of my previous FPS were very reliable. I keep...

    Note 8 - HDR auto not working (?)

    Just took some pix with HDR off, on auto, and on. I did it on a Joby tripod so the camera wouldn't shift. Like you, I see no difference between the "off" and "auto". With HDR "on" there is a definite difference with darker areas becoming more visible. The whole picture is a bit lighter, and...

    B190 update today.

    Got update. Later in day tried to RECORD VIDEO and could not. When record button is pushed, there is a beep, then almost immediately there is a double beep, and the recording stops, often not even recording anything. Anyone else have this?

    Note 7 order direct from Samsung -- Anyone received new version?

    Called Samsung several days ago. Got transfered to advanced... explained I wanted to know when I'd get the phone I ordered last month. Was told it would be several weeks. Cancelled order. Waiting to see if new battery problems in S Korea are anything to worry about.

    Note 7 order direct from Samsung -- Anyone received new version?

    I called Samsung twice this week. Didn't get any where. I was told that the eCommerce department is having difficulties and so they couldn't connect me. But was told that they would contact me by email of phone this week. Well, it's 538 PM on Friday, and I have not heard anything.

    S6 Contacts app - limits number of characters allowed for Notes field

    Found a solution: Read on another forum about "Contact Editor" by Marten Gajda. After installing, you can set it as the default to edit contacts. I have some long notes and it lets me see them and edit them. Had it for about two weeks and it's been wonderful. I use Contacts + to see my...
