    Note 10+ or S20+?

    Just bought an S10+, yesterday. I was going to buy one during last years Black Friday sales but decided to wait for the S20 series. I have read every post and leak about the S20 series. I finally decided that most of the features of the S20 don't interest me. I have no interest in 5G. It...

    Are There Any HAPPY Nougat Users?

    The Nougat install went pretty well on my S7. A couple of apps disappeared (guessing they were incompatible with Nougat), and some icons disappeared from my Nova Launcher, but were easy to add back in. The only real "problem" I have with Nougat is the extremely small font size on the...

    Notifications drop down to small

    This is REALLY ANNOYING. I thought that "Notifications" in Nougat were supposed to be improved. Instead, I can't even read them, the font is so small.

    constant SD Card Notification "SD CARD for transferring photos and media"

    Problem Solved!!! I have tried all of the possible fixes on this forum/thread... and none of them fixed them problem. I am convinced that this problem is releated to, and limited to, an early batch of S7 phones. I finally called Verizon and told them that I had already spent time with Tech...

    constant SD Card Notification "SD CARD for transferring photos and media"

    I have a Samsung SD Card, and reformatted it as described. It did not fix the problem!

    What microSD card are you buying for your S7?

    I got this one too. Very happy with it. Note: There are quite a few "fast" SD Cards out there. However, many of them are only fast when it comes to READs and are much slower when it comes to WRITEs. This card is fast for both.

    What is "Optimize battery usage"?

    Thank you, but I already read that particular article. Still don't quite understand which apps should be included in Doze and which should be excluded from Doze. In particular, I am not using the stock alarm clock, and I have no idea if my 3rd party app is correctly coded.

    disappointed in battery life [Samsung Galaxy S7]

    Coming from an S6 to the S7 (not Edge). So far I am very pleased with the S7 battery life. It seems to be much better than my S6 battery life. And I expect it to improve even more after things settle a bit more.

    constant SD Card Notification "SD CARD for transferring photos and media"

    Yes, I also find this very annoying. But I haven't found any other way of directly accessing the SD Card. By that I mean, if we find a way to make this Notification go away, how do we directly access the SD Card later, if we want to?

    Adoptable storage without root

    Anyone tried this yet? I am wondering how it might affect the performance of Writes. Since writing to the internal memory is generally faster than writing to the SD Card, data stored on the internal memory part of the drive should be faster (?). However, if both the internal memory and the SD...

    Power saving mode disables itself

    My S7 did the same thing. So I set it, again. And this time, it seems to be staying on.

    What is "Optimize battery usage"?

    I would really appreciate someone providing a better explanation of what Doze does and how it works. In particular, what kinds of applications should or should not use Doze? If my "Alarm" application uses Doze, will it not wake me up in the morning?

    Are you going to buy a Nexus 6?

    Re: Now that it's announced, will you be buying? I understand that the Nexus 6 will be sold by all the Cellular companies in the US. Does anyone know if all of those phones will be essentially the same phone? Here is what I really want to know... I am on Verizon, and I assume that Verizon...
