So, I've gone ahead and purchased the AT&T Note10+5G and thought I'd share my experiences for others who might search and find this thread: First of all, AT&T is clueless. Once I had the phone in hand, I noticed that I wouldn't get a real 5G signal. I called AT&T about 6 times for this issue...

You are incorrect. I'm not referring to AT&T's "5Ge" branding (which is actually LTE-Advanced.) I'm referring to the real low band 5G they are deploying on their 850Mhz spectrum and is only available (at the time of this post) when using the AT&T branded "Galaxy Note 10+ 5G" (where 5Ge is...

I live in an area (Pittsburgh, PA) where AT&T has rolled out their lowband 5G, and I'm considering a Note10+ 5G (instead of the non-5G Note10+.) I already have the non-5G 10+, but need to return it. I'm trying to decide if I should replace with another plain 10+ or with the 5G enabled. Can...

So... if something works fine with one setting on a phone, but it doesn't work when a proprietary "night mode" is turned on, you don't think it's the fault of the "night mode"? Keep in mind that android is specifically designed for backward compatibility. Even if there was a supported global...

Please pardon me if you took my post as being impatient or hostile towards you. I'm just sick of (and amused by) people who think that Samsung can do no wrong, that all their products are Godly, and if there's some issue with their firmware, it's the user's fault for having bad expectations...

I've yet to find another app that displays the same particular combination of title, text, thumbnail and animated gif in the notification panel, so it's difficult to suggest that no other app behaves like this. I'm inclined to believe that Nest (a google company) is doing things properly for...

If you mean that "nest" should be updated, that is the silliest thing I've read today. Are you suggesting that if Samsung decides to add some random proprietary UI element to their firmware, that every application developer in the world has to jump and update their application to work with...

No theme. As mentioned in the OP, I turned on "night mode" in Settings->Display. That alone seems to be causing the problem. I'd suggest checking google play for "tasker." It'd take me months to describe everything it is. For the purpose of this discussion, however, it's a persistent...

That did NOT resolve the issue. With night-mode ON and QuickStar OFF, the notifications are still incorrect: (Screen shot showing night mode setting, quickstar disabled, and notification)

For several things, I've answered "Google - portability." This is to indicate that the reason for using the google solution is that it works or syncs across multiple platforms. (For example, I can share bookmarks between desktop chrome and mobile chrome.) Samsung Pay vs Google Pay -- Samsung...

Yes, partially. I don't use it to theme the panel, only to hide a few icons (and the "AT&T" text) on the status bar. I'm unable to test right now if the problem goes away when I'm in night-mode and have quickstar completely disabled. On the other hand, it's still a bug in night-mode (or...

Android Central: Please help me to get Samsung to recognize this bug. I've tried to contact them, but I basically get blown off. I've tracked down what appears to be a (another) bug with the "night mode" setting on the S10+ (and likely with the S10 as well) at least using the AT&T flavor of...

I'm happy... thrilled even... that you take my comments as constructive feedback instead of complaining. I realize my tone and word choice will sometimes seem as if I'm just trolling, but If my purpose was negative, I wouldn't have wasted the time and effort. My only excuse is that I'm an...

There was a "best sdcard for galaxy s7" article a while back.... here: The best microSD cards for the Galaxy S7 | Android Central The article suggests transfer speeds of between 85MB/sec and 95 MB/sec for various cards. Those speeds aren't going to happen on the Galaxy S7. I've actually...

I have some seriously mixed emotions about AC's website articles lately. On the one hand, there are some excellent and truly useful articles, including the recent one about android security, and of course the general "news" articles (such as announcing new products.) On the other hand, I've...
