    How "future proofed" do you think the Note 9 is?

    I am baffled why a company cannot bring out a premium phone with a replaceable battery. Greed, competition, with the iPhone thinness and style, etc. I'm convinced an "active" (tougher phone), thicker with bigger replaceable battery, and features deprecated by Samsung including the IR blaster...

    Samsung account

    In the last week have received 3 messages from Samsung asking for my account info on pain of death or deactivation of my account. I've complied. Am I a fool?

    Who else doesn't use face/iris unlock?

    I use no security. No AOD, lock screen, pin, fingerprint, pattern, beta iris/face, etc. I just clutch my phone very tightly. And want to go to my content directly.

    Essential Phone 2!

    I'm much better off without a headphone jack--just as I benefitted from nonreplaceable batteries that limited the life of my power supply or required manufacturer software to deprecate battery performance. Maybe my next phone can eliminate all buttons and rely on my psychic abilities.

    How do I Bypass galaxy 7 pattern lock without data loss using Android SDK MANAGER?

    Late enforcement has a very expensive device that will download everything from the phone that's not written over--and even that is not always a barrier. I don't know the circumstances of this case-or their willingness- but I know firsthand their capabilities. Private parties are available at...

    Getting sick of website spam click bait

    I should amend my last post: I do get adds with Adguard but they're embedded and not distracting. At this site I'm getting the same pop-ups shown in the first post.

    Getting sick of website spam click bait

    I prefer the browser version and don't like Tapatalk. But even with sideloaded Adguard I still get some spam on this site - and no where else. It's a disgrace.

    Samsung smart switch - notes don't transfer

    If a person was still having a problem could you upload all your notes to the cloud, Dropbox, etc., and then download to the new device?

    weird bixby notice

    Alternate translation: Some users love Bixby while others do not. If you are a member of the latter group rest assured that Korean officials will work diligently to prevent you from remapping the button for a useful purpose. Also please be advised that the word "beta" does not exist in our...

    Samsung Smart Switch or Google Restore????

    If you have a carrier you can pop into the retail outlet and let them make the transfer. 5 minutes.

    Got a Pixel 2 - And I'm considering setting my $1000 Note 8 aside! What is wrong with me?

    I'll keep my Note 8 for the year after upgrading from S8+ but I want the form factor of the Note 5. Time to come out with 2 sizes of the Note just like the S8 and S9.
