T-Mobile is perfectly happy selling locked phones. In fact, some (all?) of their Android phones come with an app to request an unlock. They have some documentation on it: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-14011

It's not that surprising to be honest. Displays are fragile period. The only reason it doesn't happen with normal phones is the rigid glass screen. The force required to remove the film likely delaminated the layers underneath. Once those layers separate, the screen is dead. I accidentally...

I think that's more the case of a regional rep making a statement that really shouldn't have been made. I hadn't heard it myself and outside of this one reference, I don't find any other reference to Samsung claims of a creaseless Fold. Certainly no official press releases were made.

It's perfectly fair for you to find it futile for your own needs. But that's subjective and while it may not work for you but there's no reason that view is universal. For me, it seems to offer what I need from both the phone side and tablet side, which should allow me to walk around with just...

My biggest problem with changing screen sizes has always been muscle memory. Basically my thumbs get used to letters being at certain distances and that's why I end up tapping the letter next to what I wanted. The other thing I've found with wider phones is that wider keyboards push your thumbs...

Yeah I got those notifications too. The thing is, the notifications don't do anything except open the Bixby app. They don't bring you to an alarm card or present you with anything to review. More stupid app design by Samsung. Annoying enough I switched away from the Samsung launcher altogether...

Picked up the Samsung adapter on the hope that it would let you change the screen aspect ratio. Unfortunately it does not. If you cast your screen to a Samsung TV, you can change the aspect ratio to 16:9 so the display is full screen on a TV.

I've seen that before with laptop screens. It works really well with the Infinity display on the S8!

Cars I've connected to successfully: 2013 Honda Odyssey 2016 Mercedes GLC 2016 BMW 435 2014 Mercedes C class

Re: Wasted Featues Both of those features are tied to actual hardware on the phones. Removing the software component doesn't remove the cost associated with the hardware.

There has to be something else going on if you can't get it to connect to any Bluetooth device. I can see may be a car having a compatibility issue but to have nothing that connects to it is strange. No Bluetooth issues myself here. Connects to everything I've tried so far, at least half a...

Re: Wasted Featues But that's not really criticism to say the S8 should've had an S Pen instead of an iris scanner. That's more of a wishlist item. It's kind of out of left field too, especially considering the S Pen has always been reserved for the Note series of phones. And that's why people...

That's the old watch. The new one is 50 meters waterproof. Says so right on the watch. To the OP: the watch is waterproof but touch screens don't work under water. Waterproof in this case really just means water won't enter the case and damage the electronics.

Latest thing I could find was they're still in testing: T-Mobile launching some LTE-U now, LAA on the horizon | FierceWireless That said, gigabit LTE doesn't mean you will get gigabit speeds yourself, unless you're the only device on the tower.

Originally had a Netgear router which had multiple 5GHz networks. My S8 had those same Wifi problems connecting to 5GHz on that router, but no problems on 2.4 GHz. Switched to a Linksys WRT1200AC which only has a single 5GHz network. Haven't had any Wifi problems since.
