    light bleed

    FWIW, now that I'm looking at it, my Note 8 has the exact same light bleed on the left side of the glass. Not that it matters to you Note 9 owners, but now I'm noticing it.

    Weekly Photo Contest: Fast

    This Gulfstream G650 was sitting on the ramp at the local airport .... Doesn't get much faster than this. Her max speed is Mach .0925! .... Taken with a GS5 with HDR and enhanced through Google + Photos.

    Galaxy Gear Smartwatch - Cant see Handcent Text Messages

    I see what you mean and tried that, but it seems like a whole lot of swiping compared to just taking out my phone and banging out the reply. I used Handcent for my texts. No such option is supported that I see, I wore the watch for a couple of days. I do see what you mean about looking...

    Galaxy Gear Smartwatch - Cant see Handcent Text Messages

    After using the Gear for two days now I agree with what you are saying. Problem is I have no issue pulling the phone out to look at it to check messages, make a call, etc. The biggest problem I have with it is not being able to read or navigate an entire email, let alone respond to one. The...

    Galaxy Gear Smartwatch - Cant see Handcent Text Messages

    Well, I'm a dope. I had the option to display message text in the notification drawer turned off on the phone. Turned it on and everything works. Still useless that I cant reply from the watch, even if it is a voice reply. Thanks for your help. I think I'm gonna return the device and wait...

    Galaxy Gear Smartwatch - Cant see Handcent Text Messages

    Yup. I ordered Christmas eve. They are in in NYC and I'm on Long Island and I received the watch on Friday the 27th. They shipped USPS Priority 1 day. I always find USPS tracking updates lacking. FWIW, the watch looked to be a return, the back was slightly dirty in the engraved "Samsung"...

    Galaxy Gear Smartwatch - Cant see Handcent Text Messages

    Hi all, Picked up a GG on the $199 eBay deal. Figured I'd give it a try ... All the the notifications seem to work except being able to read text messages from Handcent ... All it says is "New message received". I have no way to read it on the watch and only have an option to View on Phone ...

    Got a new S4 last week, is this extreme battery loss? Return it or what you all suggest?

    So. You've turned off everything that basically makes your smart phone smart in order to achieve good battery life. It took my GS4 battery about 4 days to "settle in". After 10. 5 hrs or so I'm usually at 46% to 40% battery. GPS On. Location On (including Google Now) . Data Sync On. WiFi...

    Did VZ finally pull the plug on free wireless tethering as of the 4.2.2 update??

    Hells yeah! I've been using Switch Pro since the OG Droid .... Best $0.99 I've ever spent ... It's like the gift that keeps on giving! :D

    Lost the butter with 4.2.2

    My battery life is HORRIBLE. Just about 5 hours from unplug to shut down after the 4.2.2 update using the EXTENDED battery. WTF?!?!?

    Switch Pro Widget doesn't need root to work. It still works like it always has.

    Did VZ finally pull the plug on free wireless tethering as of the 4.2.2 update??

    Absolutely. I haven't rooted yet since taking the OTA 4.2.2 update and it still works just fine.

    Did VZ finally pull the plug on free wireless tethering as of the 4.2.2 update??

    Absolutely not. The exploit I found last year that works on all devices without root works just fine. I use Switch Pro Widget to activate my tethering daily. It still works perfectly. Edit: Here is my original post...

    Oh god. How could they possibly make it worse than it was?
