    Android Auto, Samsung Note 8, GPS randomly gets lost... any idea ?

    Not in my case. When Waze loses place, go into Google maps... it's the same thing... Unplug the phone and it works for a while... then goes back.

    Android Auto, Samsung Note 8, GPS randomly gets lost... any idea ?

    Hi, I've been running into an issue with Android Auto and the Samsung Note 8 (Verizon SM-N950U), If you do some research on this, you will see this is VERY, VERY common issue with the NOTE 8. The funny thing is the NOTE 8 is on the very limited list of phones that support WIRELESS Android auto...

    Best/any voice texting over bluetooth with a phone profile only ?

    Hi, My car is a 2007 Lexus LS460L been driving it for years now and is still in awesome shape. The problem, It has Bluetooth but, only the phone profile. So, it's not designed to do texting. So, the wife texts and I cant reply unless I call "hey google" and say "read last text" but, it does...

    do you miss the headphone jack?

    Another thing to get lost. As it's something I would not use every day. It's just companies trying to be cheaper in making phones. Like I said, I wont buy another phone with out a head phone jack. The Note 8 seems to do everything I need for now... Apple does something so everyone else has...

    do you miss the headphone jack?

    I looked at this phone and decided to get a Note 8... why ? Because of a headphone jack. I have some really nice earbuds that I use all the time and I DONT want another device I need to charge. I don't think I would ever buy a mobile phone with out a headphone jack. It's important when I do...

    Ready to buy a V30 again

    I hear ya. I was looking for a deal on the V30, it was really the phone I wanted after owning a G3, G4 and V10... I saw Best Buy's deal on the Samsung Note 8, $350 off, brining the monthly payment down to $24. As the v30 was not discounted. The Note 8 gave more features for the money, so I...

    Email widgets....

    I tried it for 2-3 days. Aquamail is not a bad app. Some things I just needed to get used to. It's better than the internal app. Just trying to understand on the Note 8 the widgets are smaller than other ICONS, it looks dumb. I never noticed this issue on ANY widget on my LG models... I kind...

    wireless charging makes battery hot.

    I still have my old Nokia wireless chargers from my Windows Phone days... They work fine, not fast chargers but, on the side of my bed, it charges it to full. It does not get hot. Maybe the fast wireless chargers making it hot ?

    Email widgets....

    So I gave AquaMail a shot for a day or so. The Widgets are tiny and look dumb next to any other apps icon. So this is a no go for me. Does anyone else have a suggestion of another mail.app that will give me what I need? As for a.email app alone. Testing the pro..it's a nice app but not much...

    Is it worth changing from, Google pay to Samsung pay ?

    This for the clear thoughts, I will Setup Samsung pay and disable Android pay..(well disable the app so they don't conflict)

    Is it worth changing from, Google pay to Samsung pay ?

    Hey all, Been using Android pay for a while now, click and pay. Works in most locations I use, not all but, a lot of them. Samsung pay seems to support more hardware devices... For people who use Samsung pay, is it worth it ? I hate having a credit card in 40 places and it seems like that...

    Will you root your Note8?

    Only will root if I find a major advantage to it. With Tap-to-pay not working on Rooted phones, it might be a buy pass thing for me. It's a feature that I use a lot...

    Email app...

    I was going to give Aquamail a shot, as the internal Program that comes with my Note 8 is very limited, it works but, it does not have all the features I need. Here is a question. My phone contacts are all on one Exchange server. So by syncing my contacts, I get all my phone contacts. So if I...

    Deepsea Blue!!

    Yea, it's a nice color. I looked over the colors... Grey, black or blue.... I went with Blue as well. It's a really nice looking phone. I just hope it holds up and does not scratch off after time. And NO, I will not use a case. I fit it in my pocket and a case will just make it bigger, as...
