I am going with the black one 128gig

Thank you!

I am wanting to buy a Pixel 2XL. Is there any advantage to buying it directly from Google over getting it from Verizon? I already have a Verizon account and do not want to make monthly payments I just want to buy it outright. Thanks!

Thanks...is there any advantage to an unlocked model...I didn't think Verizon locked their phones any more. ALSO the reason I would like a non Verizon sale is they take forever to push out updates.

My updates worked ok but now I see that Interrupt that seems to have replaced blocking mode doesn't seem to work. I have it set to let my favorites through at any time but if it is in Interrupt mode nobody gets through. Also the Auto Brightness is way too dark....so that is now useless.

Is there anything out there that will let me back up my entire phone including the screen layouts and then restore it to a new phone. For example if I got a replacement phone I don't want to have to install and configure everything all over again...or if I want to duplicate my configuration of...

Went back to my verizon store and the gave me a new battery and now it works fine. They said it was covered by the warrenty so I am VERY happy and it works well now. Does anyone know if Samsung is still developing this feature...would be nice to be able to put the phone into docking mode with it.

I wonder why mine does not work unless they put the cover on with the NFC antenna

Evidently ALL Verizon Galaxy S3 phones come without this part. I am now on the phone with Samsung. Seems to me Verizon has some false advertising on their website...since S Beam and TechTiles will not work as the phone is configured.

Been on the phone with Verizon for about 1/2 hour now and they report that all their Galaxy S3 phone do not have the metal part in the back of the phone even though they advertise tech tiles and S Beaming on their website as features which do not work without the metal part. Rather frustrating.

I have found out why it doesn't work on my phone. The inside of the back cover of my phone does not have tthe metal pieces needed to make the NFC feature or S beam work. This is the original back cover that came with my phone less than 1 year ago.

My battery does say Near Field Communication on it....odd as that is

Yes NFC is on. I am beginnning to wonder if it is working.

When I try to program a tectile with the Samsung app I get the program tile button and I place my phone on top of the tile but it never programs. I even tried it without the case on the phone thinking that may interfere with the programing to no avail. What should I try next?
