    Dear Google: Please Learn from Nokia's Windows Phone Camera App UI

    I too miss my old Windows Phone. It was so ahead of its time, smooth, easy and enjoyable to use. True it had some rough spots such as overheating and battery life, but with time and software refinements that would be fixed. Microsoft blew it when they shut it down. They were growing by about 1%...

    Why does my audio keep skipping when i tap my screen?

    My daughter is having a similar problem with her S8 so I too would like to hear a suggested fix for this.

    why so many software updates?

    The installation must have been incomplete for that to happen. As to how to fix it, I have no idea.

    I have the s8 now would the s9 be worth upgrading to? Are there any physical differences like width?

    I didn't even know it was wider until I read it on this thread. The difference is, as another responder so eloquently described it, just a speck. I can't see the difference, if indeed there is a difference.

    I have the s8 now would the s9 be worth upgrading to? Are there any physical differences like width?

    I have the S9 and previously I had the S8. I only upgraded because my daughter wanted my S8. The only noteworthy improvement on the S9 is that the finger print reader is much more reliable. A lot of people, including me, had trouble with the S8 finger print reader. There might be other...

    Casting with S9

    You were right, Google Home was what I was missing. I can easily view YouTube videos although viewing photos is unpleasant. They are often sideways and grainy.

    Does S10 have MST for samsung pay

    I use Samsung Pay all the time where vendors machines accept tap. Previously I used Google Pay. I don't understand all the differences but with Samsung Pay I never turn on NFC. With Google I was constantly turning it on an off.

    My 2 week thoughts - Pros & Cons

    I still use the S9 but from my experience with this product and what I've heard about the S10, I agree with all of your comments. Most of all, I agree that the fingerprint reader should be on the back. It's the most natural place for it and that's where my finger lands when I pick up the phone...

    Navigation Bar. Full Screen Gestures or Buttons

    Personally I don't get why anyone would want gestures. I like to see what I'm pressing or at least where on the screen the actual button is.

    Casting with S9

    I've found casting to a TV to be a frustrating and difficult exercise with the exception of YouTube videos. I have a Samsung S9. Yesterday I wanted to cast some photos to the TV. There was no casting icon on the Samsung gallery app. I searched for an app for casting and found one but it then put...

    New Leak on S10 vs Plus

    I sure like the finger print sensor on the back of my S9. I had no intention to get an S10 but hopefully when I do need a new phone Samsung will have a model with a rear sensor. I also had an S8 and the placement wasn't quite as good as it is now in the S9 but I just can't see the logic of...

    Pie on Unlocked S9

    Unlocked S9 on Rogers in Canada. I did go into settings to manually check for updates rather than receiving a notification but I'm sure that would only speed it up a day or two. I've never heard of Canada getting an update before the States so something must be up with your carrier. Mine...

    I have a Samsung S9. My phone just did a system update and I HATE it. How do I undo it?

    Thanks. I guess that this update is just incremental improvements. That and improvements under the hood.

    I have a Samsung S9. My phone just did a system update and I HATE it. How do I undo it?

    I just updated to Pie on my Samsung S9. A couple of app buttons look a bit different but otherwise I don't really see a difference. Does anyone have a good link to somewhere that explains what's new, if anything is new?

    Is it worth upgrading to the S9 from the S8? Or just a spec bump?

    I went from the S8 to the S9 and found very little difference. The main change was the finger print reader at the back. The S8's reader was beside the camera and the S9's is below the camera. It took my finger a while to develop the muscle memory but now I get fewer finger prints on the camera...
