    What features that were on previous Notes do you miss on the Note 10/10+

    If we get a Note 11 with 1TB of internal storage, I'm there.

    Regrets

    My Note9 512GB is the device I've been waiting on for at least 5 years, easily. I only have one complaint about it so far. It's minor but it's about such a needlessly, deliberately stupid and indefensible choice by Samsung that it's a festering irritation. I bought my Note9 512 direct from...

    Is anyone using a South Korean Note 8 in the US?

    Re: Bring a 256GB South Korean Note 8 here to the US? The only thing that holds me back, based on that, is SamsungPay. I really like using that. I'm already not tied to a carrier anymore, after Verizon's outrageous, reprehensible efforts last year to throw my Note 7 off their network. I...

    Is anyone using a South Korean Note 8 in the US?

    Re: Bring a 256GB South Korean Note 8 here to the US? Have you ever bought a phone this way, from ebay, from a foreign country? I've been looking at these Note 8's listed on ebay, and what the sellers are saying is that SamsungPay will not work on them, unless they are used in South Korea...

    Is anyone using a South Korean Note 8 in the US?

    I'm trying to figure out how well a South Korean Note 8 would work here in the US. I'm hoping it would just be a matter of figuring out which carrier in my area would have the best coverage for the particular cellular and data radio bands and protocols it's built for. I want a 256GB internal...

    I'm *keeping* my Note 7..

    Not true. The S7 Edge has a smaller screen, no S-Pen, and USB 2.0 cabling/interface. I wouldn't miss the retina scanner, but everything else would p*ss me off continually.

    I'm *keeping* my Note 7..

    ...for as long as I can, or until an equal or better device is released by Samsung, or another manufacturer. Or, until when/if Samsung or my carrier was to cut off my connectivity, or otherwise preclude my ability to continue using my Note 7. I think the party that benefits most from Samsung's...

    [Closed] Win a Galaxy Note 5!!!

    I'll take a free Note 5, thank you! :) Even still, I couldn't be MORE disappointed, frustrated and upset by Samsung's decision to not only take away microSD capability from the Note 5, but then to accept for any reason the idea of withholding the option of a 128GB internal storage model. I...

    Camera 2 API for Nexus 7, what works?

    Rukbat I think you're completely blinded by your obvious photographic elitist perspective. I think most normal people interested in getting full manual control of the camera in their phones wouldn't be surprised or argue the point that they shouldn't expect Smithsonian/National Geographic...

    Which tethering app for nonrooted note 3?

    I've got the Note 3 now, and the full version of FoxFi, and it don't work. Whenever I try to enable FoxFi, repeatedly, I get a pop up message saying to contact Verizon to subscribe for hotspot use. I need to find out how I can tweak the firmware settings like I was able to do in my DROID3...
