I'm interested in what Samsung brings in the N20, but having bought the 10+ yesterday, no interest in buying one. Maybe my wife will want one next year when she upgrades. I've had Note envy for years, mostly because of the S-Pen, and the envy was justified. This phone is amazing, and I have...

The biggest thing OnePlus has in its favour is fast and frequent software updates. I love OxygenOS. It's in the little useful things like screen-off gestures that impressed me initially with the OP3. It's how they've kept a 4 year old phone feeling fast and fresh so many years later. My...

If you can wait a couple of months for the Note 20 announcement, otherwise buy what you want when you're ready to buy. The day the Note 20 comes out, the Note 21 will be on the horizon ... and will be better. Twas ever thus with technology. I'm still torn between a Note 10+ and an S20+ ... and...

Re: After seeing an iOS 14 hands on, I'm tempted to switch, but... I feel you. I was thinking hard about going to an iPhone for the first time ... but for me, it comes down to the locked down default apps. Even with the mail/browser options arriving with iOS 14 this fall, it's not enough for...

Yes, you can set individual text tones. In the messenger app, just go into a conversation with the contact, hit the three dot menu, go into People & options, tap Sound, and select your tone. Ringtones are set on their own in the contact settings. It took me a bit to find where to set things...

Just quickly taking a ruler to the back of my OP3, it's essentially flat for a little over 2" across, and a solid 4 to 4 1/4" up/down (flash to lower antenna band). So that plate should fit just fine.

I see both sides of the argument. On the one hand, I spent years bashing away in desktop Linux, back when installers were a very questionable affair, and drivers for your dial-up modem were sketchy at best. LOL So I'm comfortable with the command line. (If early days of DOS and programming...

I'm going to be in the states next weekend, and will be putting service on my AT&T sim to use while we're there. So I'll get an idea pretty quick on if/how it's working. I know some cases were just that the OP3 wasn't automatically picking up the right APNs, and they had to be set manually...

When I ordered mine last month, it ended up shipping and arriving a full week ahead of the original estimate. Was originally to arrive the 22nd, ended up here on the 15th ... after getting "lost" by UPS for a couple of days in Winnipeg before hitting the truck for delivery. I've been amused by...

My original delivery date was the 22nd, ordered on the 7th. It shipped on the 10th and arrived on the 15th. So, don't always judge by the dates. By the same token, there are folks who ordered in August and are still waiting.

I just tried an old 3ft microUSB with an Aukey Type C adapter on the end, plugged into an Anker Quick Charge 3.0 car charger. In the 4 minute drive to work, I picked up 3%. So it's SLIGHTLY slower than Dash charging, but I'd say not by a huge margin. It's not like it will go down to a half amp...

The new 3.5.2 community build now has 1080p/60fps video recording. The YouTube thing was a problem on Google's end.

I'm taking to not charging overnight at all. In the morning, I can plug it in while I'm in the shower/eating breakfast, and it's rocking 90+ percent by the time I hit the front door. Although I agree fully - a longer cable is really a must. I can't actually connect it at my desk at work...

It sounds to me like a faulty sensor. The only times I've had any issues so far has been when I've tried unlocking from a weird angle. Even then, it's been from me not getting enough of my finger on the sensor before it tries to read it. So danged quick!! But there's no way you should be...

Just too bad it's not full adhesion ... just the edges like the Orzly. Although it's probably more case-friendly than the Orzly v1.
