    Need some advice and input about the Note 8

    Oh, I hear you on the spouse being mad at you part, Jim! Haha. My husband is just not a technology person at ALL, and doesn't get my need to acquire new tech. I'm addicted to everything gadgety, and I'd rather have a new phone than jewelry or shoes. And age is just a number, you know? My dad is...

    Need some advice and input about the Note 8

    Not here. I've been trying to book an appointment at the genius bar for WEEKS. There's very few appointments in the city anywhere. I went into my local apple store a few days ago, and they were a zoo. Every single person that came in was asking about the battery. I just have to wait for now. If...

    Need some advice and input about the Note 8

    I didn't say the S8 had a reputation for being janky. Just that I've read that a few people say they've had some issues with stutters and freezes. My friend has an S8, and said that the Note 8 is smoother. That's all I meant. I'm sure the S8 is a fine phone. I just don't think it's the phone for me.

    Need some advice and input about the Note 8

    My biggest issue is the cost of my S7E for what I'm getting, I guess. I just paid 799 Canadian + tax and warranty protection for a phone from 2016. I mean, it's fine, but I keep thinking, damn, you know for a bit extra you can have a much newer phone that is likely to run well in two years. I'm...

    Need some advice and input about the Note 8

    Yes, the problem is I can't get the battery replaced until April. There's pretty much no appointments right now at the apple stores. It's a zoo. And my iphone isn't ringing, so that's too long to wait. I will fix it in april, then it will be my backup phone.

    Yes, I can still return the S7E. I have some time. Not my first time with Android, no.

    Need some advice and input about the Note 8

    Hi all, First, some background: I am one of the lucky people who have had their iPhone become totally unusable due to iOS 11 and the battery issue. My phone doesn’t even ring most of the time, it gets hot, crashes, etc. I’ve done all the updates and I’m over it. I can’t get an appointment here...

    Pixel WIFi Issues

    Mine dropped wifi ALWAYS since I bought the phone...maybe yours has to do with an update or something since it is recent? Just a thought.

    Pixel WIFi Issues

    Hi. Yes I had this exact same problem and nothing ever worked to fix it. Some said it works better if you change to 2.4ghz connection. Others said it works if you change to 5ghz and keep Bluetooth toggled on. I had zero luck keeping it connected and it ate through my data too. I traded it in...

    Pixel - Signal dropping (Update: Google Knows)

    Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls? The phone is 900 dollars in Canada and over 1000 for the XL at my carrier. *shrug*

    Pixel - Signal dropping (Update: Google Knows)

    I'm one of the disappointed people with issues on this phone. I have wi-fi that continuously disconnects and reconnects constantly. I've tried a bunch of things to fix it, shy of obtaining a new modem, which is just ridiculous considering every other device connects fine to either 2.4ghz or 5...

    Totally Baffled. What would do this?

    My Pixel has done this since launch. But I didn't notice it until my return policy was past and my data usage was completely gone in the middle of a month. I like the phone, but this is just crazy. I have no idea what would cause data to be used when something is connected to Wifi w/ Bluetooth...

    iPhone user thinking about Pixel purchase

    I'm an iPhone user who switched to the Pixel. iMessage is the one thing I missed the most. I like being able to see when people are typing back to me. I have no real problem with group messages on my Pixel. I'm always included from iPhone users. Typing on this thing for me is really hard...

    Totally Baffled. What would do this?

    Okay, I'm one of the people who have problems with wi-fi continuously connecting and disconnecting. Which leads to my phone eating my data. I can't change out my modem since it's a combo modem/router, and honestly, every other device in my house works fine except for this phone, so doing that...
