    Pre-orders live for Tab S7/S7+

    Keep in mind FedEx has a terrible online tracker compared to UPS and even USPS at times. I've had multiple experiences with them where my packaged will be delivered and the status online will still be days old. From past history with Samsung orders, the day the label is created is the day FedEx...

    Pre-orders live for Tab S7/S7+

    Tracking numbers should be going out, just got a email from FedEx saying I have a Samsung package coming Monday. Doesn't look like any possibility of anything earlier because in the shipping details there is a note for weekday delivery. (S7+, 128GB, Mystic Black - WiFi) Keyboard case still...

    Share your home screen setups.

    Tried the One UI launcher for a few hours, but had to go back to the Microsoft Launcher. Looks and feels great on the S10, just wish there wasn't a weird blank row at the bottom of the home screens above the dock that apps can't be placed.

    Verizon Galaxy S8 WiFi Issues

    Yeah, that is one of the many settings that get turned off when I am setting up the phone. So that cannot be the problem. I am starting to think that it might be the GHz of the router that is causing issues. I am not getting the issue on the work wifi network, but could be missing the...

    Verizon Galaxy S8 WiFi Issues

    Minus the known problem with DQA stopping repeatedly at random times, has anyone else encountered issues with WiFi stability problems? My S8+ keeps showing the WiFi and disconnected then reconnected notification every 10-15 minutes. Never had an issue on this router with my S7e.

    Thanks! Will call them and leave a note in the lobby and hope that the delivery person is nice tomorrow.

    Verizon S8 / S8+ Pre-Order Discussion

    Can anyone give some tips/incite on dealing with a FedEx delivery? Usually packages I get don't need a signature and are left in a locked bike/package room in my apartment. Has anyone gotten a successful delivery without a signature? Really don't want to wait another day. I've tried to do the...

    Reaching the top of the screen

    Wouldn't be surprised if they continue with the one handed mode they have now. It's not shown much, which I don't understand why, but it's under accessibility options. Hopefully they'll keep the triple home tap, or add the option to put a button on the nav bar.

    No IR blaster according to Androidbeat . com

    I have never seen Samsung make any statement on removing the IR blaster. Just an observation that feels even more confirmed with the Android 7 update on the S7 which now notifies you when there is a Samsung TV on your wifi network that you can control/interact with.

    No IR blaster according to Androidbeat . com

    Samsung will never put an IR in their phones again. They plan/currently use bluetooth for all remote control functions on their home theater devices. No reason for them to support competitors devices.

    Streaming stops when screen turns off and/or removed from power [Beta +verizon]

    Ever since I started using the beta a few apps which I use daily have stopped working when either I unplug the phone or let the screen turn off. The most problematic apps are: - PocketBell (stops radio stream when unplugged from charger) - WBEZ/NPR One (stops streaming when screen is off) -...

    Anyone else having battery issues and running hot after the latest update?

    That is very likely the cause. Removed Oculus Home when I was looking at apps running high CPU, and after a few minutes the battery discharge went to 1% every 5. Will remove all apps and hope for the best. *EDIT* The Oculus apps were definitely the problem for me. Uninstalled all the apps and...

    Anyone else having battery issues and running hot after the latest update?

    Yup, mine is doing the same thing. Past couple days the battery life was just running down quicker than normal, but I just passed it off to maybe being some signal issues or whatnot. But, today its been running at 94-98 degrees and discharging 1% battery between 30secs-3mins. Gotta say, I'm...

    OTA Android N update sent me into bootloop

    Got the Android N OTA update and it sent me into a bootloop. I've tried reinstalling 6.0.1 via adb and it won't install, nor does the Nexus Root Toolkit app get it back. Does anyone know a solution? Google support has been useless in getting me anywhere I haven't already been.

    Notification Light

    Is the battery low? I have a Verizon edge and the only time it goes red is low battery or charging.
