    Apple getting rid of the lightning port

    Why would they do this? I feel like a lot of people still like to charge in the car and I don't have a wireless charger there. Unless it's built into the car, most wireless charger holders for the car are not my thing. To be honest I only use wireless charging at night, otherwise I'm always...

    Keyboard...gboard or stock?

    I'm using stock. I did use gboard at one point, but for me the predictive text was awful. Not sure why since I know gboard is well regarded by a lot of users. Predictive text isn't great on stock either though so maybe I should try it again. I had used Fleksy in the past and liked it too.

    Will you update to S10?

    I would love to but no. For once though the itch really isn't too bad. I've been really happy with my S9.

    Battery life stinks.

    OP are you using a Exynos model? Those are known to have worse battery life than the Snapdragon models, although yours seems truly bad. Hopefully you figure out something that is causing the issues. My phone has had fantastic battery life, but it seems hit or miss with users of this phone. I...

    The size debate

    I use a S9 and the size is right for me. I compared in store before buying, and the S9+ just seemed too big for me. I probably could have adapted, but I was happy with what the S9 offered. In the end it comes down to each individual's preference.

    Does anyone worried about screen burn in?

    I had an S7 and it did get burn-in but I honestly never noticed until I factory reset the phone to turn in for a trade in with Verizon. In my daily use I never noticed it. Currently I use the S9. I have been trying to be cautious. I use auto brightness, but when outside I tend to turn it down...

    S9+ Blows Pixel 2 XL Out of the Water!!

    I have an S9 and am loving it! I'm sure the Pixel is great too, but I enjoy Samsung. Any of these flagships should be excellent phones though, and all of their cameras should be more than adequate for your average user. I don't see the point in arguing for one phone brand over another unless one...

    S9 or s9 plus

    I have the S9. I'm really happy with it. I checked out both in stores, but the S9+ just seemed too big for what I'm used to. I've been getting great battery on the S9 anyway so that really wasn't an issue. I don't think I use the camera enough to justify upgrading for that. I really only use it...

    Anyone using Bixby?

    I have used the speech to text on the stock keyboard with it, and that is quite good. It was matching me pretty spot on. Otherwise I haven't used Bixby at all, but I am curious about trying to set up some of the command actions with it. I have never accidentally triggered Bixby by the button...

    Best Cases for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+

    I ordered this VRS clear case with bumper. I actually really like the feel. It's a soft TPU. Feels like it would fit the phone well without being bulky. I like the design a little better than some other clear cases I have seen...

    Best Buy: Galaxy S9/S9+ Official Pre-Order Thread!

    I pre-ordered a lilac purple S9. I pre-ordered after March 2 though so didn't get the $100 off, but they still have $50 off. I didn't realize I was going to get the S9 until after March 2. I realized my financing plan doesn't end until October so there was no way I wanted to wait until then to...

    Dropped phone in toilet

    I thought accidents like this were one of the reasons they were making phones water proof. I have a friend who dropped her phone in the toilet twice in the past. She would stick the phone in her back pocket, and when she went to sit down the phone would slide right out and into the toilet. These...

    Thoughts on Iphone X? Are you jumping ship?

    I haven't read much about the iPhone unveiling, but if this thread is an indicator I am not impressed. I'll admit I'm not an Apple fan anyway. I don't mind their mac products (used them a lot in college, but never owned one) but I really dislike the way you use an iPhone. I guess I'm just...

    Galaxy S7 Edge screen destroyed by a 2cm drop

    This happened to me with my Galaxy S7 three days after I got it. Granted mine was more of my own fault. I had not put a case on the phone yet, was waiting for one off Amazon rather than spend $40 in Verizon. Was getting out of my car and the phone slipped out of my bag and hit pavement face...

    Are you buying the Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+?

    Re: Are you buying the Samsung Galaxy S8? It looks really nice, and I love that Orchid Grey. Unfortunately I'm not getting one though
