    Verizon Galaxy S8 Weird highlight when I text

    Thanks. I tried to do that, but when I tap on the three buttons, there is no settings option. There is customization, and it has an emoji piece, but you cannot disable it apparently.

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Weird highlight when I text

    I don’t actually know. Whatever came with the phone. Texts have a red icon with Message+ on it. As you can tell, I am not the most sophisticated user.

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Weird highlight when I text

    Out of the blue, my phone started doing this weird thing when I text. It highlights a word, say bus, hotel, or princess. You then cannot change the word. But if you tap on the highlighted word, you get a picture of e.g. a bus. Anyone know how I turn this wacky thing off? I have deleted my...

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Outlook Contacts Issues

    I want to thank everyone for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately, none of the suggestions have worked. I am now working with a tech at work, and even he is stuggeling.

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Outlook Contacts Issues

    Can you give that to me step by step? I don’t see an option for “contacts to be displayed.”

Crummy battery life, could not tell if I had a voicemail or text without opening relevant app, flashlight would randomly turn itself on if in my jacket pocket draining battery. The last thing happened once too often, so 14 months in, I...

    Hotspot password??

    I tried to use my Pixel as a hotspot for my pc, and the pc system asked for a password. To the best of my memory, I never set one up for the Pixel in this context. Any words of wisdom?

    Gave up on fingerprint system

    Thanks for the feedback. A while back when I got fingerprinted for a license, they had trouble getting good (digital) prints from me. So it may be that I just don't have very prominent finger prints. I may give it another try with Jeremy's suggestion.

    Gave up on fingerprint system

    Have others had trouble with the finger print system? I found moderately unreliable. Once when it did not work, it locked up my phone for a while. That would have been a big problem in an emergency. So I deleted it.

    is the Google pixel worth it?

    I got the XL and have been pretty happy with it, once I downloaded the Outlook app. The regular Google system would not synch properly with my work Outlook. The finger print reader also did not work well for me. Otherwise I have been quite happy with it. Great size for me.
