    S20/S20+ issues?

    My S20+ (an AT&T version) has been flawless. My son's S20+ and my wife's S20 were both also flawless. There is a definite difference in battery life between the S20 and S20+ with the latter being much better. I remember reading about the screen issues but none of our S20s had that issue...

    Sending text message to short codes

    I had the same issue of not getting security messages for 2FA from multiple sources. I finally called AT&T support and they said that a setting on my phone numbers was set to block those messages. They changed the setting and now I can use 2FA SMS again.

    How do I get rid of volume bar on screen edge and back on top

    Thank you. I don't like the volume sliders on UI 3.0.

    OneDrive and Samsung Gallery

    For those who have found out how limiting Samsung Gallery sync is to OneDrive can go to Samsung Gallery and OneDrive to see how to remove the link. It is near the end of the document.

    Does the S20 line come with RCS messaging???

    Make sure you turn off iMessage on your iPhone before going to a different phone. When I went to a Windows phone I couldn't get any of the messages from iPhone users because Apple kept trying to send it as an iMessage. I had to put my SIM back in my iPhone and turn off iMessage before SMS...

    NO NOTCH!

    Because even on the Nokia 9 the OS thinks there is a notch so only 4 notifications show with a gap in the middle. The other phones I've looked at still had strange artifacts when trying to "hide" the notch. I can ask the same question the other way, why are so many obscessed with getting a...

    Camera error

    Sometimes the pictures are lost and sometimes the RAW versions look like this: At least when I open it on something other than the phone, the hole isn't there. Oh, one time the "hole" was colored and not white. I hope the update mentioned fixes this.

    Camera error

    Anyone else getting this? "Camera error! Can't connect to the camera." The only option is dismiss and then the camera app closes. It seems to happen when I take a second picture right away but today that didn't seem to matter and it was happening on nearly every picture, some times just...

    Any Pre-Orders here?

    Mine is supposed to arrive on March 19, so B&H received their shipment sooner than thought. 😀

    Any Pre-Orders here?

    I ordered from B&H on the 6th. it showed the phone as ordered and the battery pack as backordered. I'm looking forward to no notch and a flat screen, the cameras are an awesome bonus. I only wish the corners of the display were square as on the Lumia 950XL.

    Does AT&T Wi-Fi Calling/texting actually work?

    I chatted with AT&T and here is an excerpt of the chat: I still don't know for sure but with this I may just order one to give it a try. If anyone has anything they can add, please do.

    Does AT&T Wi-Fi Calling/texting actually work?

    I haven't been able to find anything definitive about whether the AT&T Razer Phone 2 actually works with Wi-Fi Calling & texting on AT&T. The AT&T web site says it does but does not have anything in their help about how to enable it and at least one person said it wasn't working on their AT&T...

    Screen lights up when charging is complete

    Ever since my S8+ got the November 1 security patch level and what ever else came with it my phone does this too. To clarify, it used to turn on for only a few seconds when charging ended then turn off and stay off. After this update (I'm on AT&T) the lock screen stays on for the screen timeout...

    AT&T Update today, 8/21

    It turned on advanced messaging so I quit getting texts from some people in Textra. Really annoying that the setting I had didn't stick.

    AT&T Update today, 8/21

    Any one else have location info stop updating in the background? Smart Lock doesn't work like it should because it stopped getting GPS info on the background. It seems to tie me to the nearest cell tower or something. Same thing happens on my wife's S8. Prior to the update location stuff worked...
