    Any solid replacement for Nova Launcher?

    Too bad I'm on the Verizon S25U and can't enroll in the One UI beta 8.5.

    Any solid replacement for Nova Launcher?

    I enrolled in the Nova Beta but can't seem to find Beta 8.5. Will it show up in the Play store? Or is there an apk for it? Edit: nevermind. You're talking about One UI beta 8.5, not nova launcher 8.5. Lol

    Air Drop Support

    It's yet another reason to force people to buy new phones. The Pixels support airdrop. If it's available on Android, there's no reason why they shouldn't allow it for all android devices. Except for the money.

    Who is waiting for the S26 Ultra?

    I tried the Galaxy buds 3 Pro and had issues with them charging. Sometimes one bud wouldn't charge and then my wife said she could barely hear me on phone calls. So I sold the them and bought the Soundcore liberty 4 pros. Buds and watches are things I will never buy brand new. Or more than a...

    What's your home screen look like?

    What's that icon pack?

    Your favorite phone of 2025?

    Since it's the phone I currently have, I have to say the S25U.

    Another "new but not new" member.

    I've tried iOS several times and I keep coming back to Android. Once iOS added rcs support, I knew there would be no reason for me to ever switch again. Even though there are other ways to send high quality pictures and videos to iOS users, they never use those apps. They would just complain and...

    Question Buds 4 pro

    I've had the same issues with my Buds 3 Pro charging. It's usually the right bud that randomly decides if it wants to charge or not. I've gone back to using my OnePlus Buds 3. It's annoying. I'll likely keep the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro for use around the house and as my backup pair should my OnePlus...

    Anyone able to load Samsung Messages?

    I miss the days of using third party message apps. I'm pretty sure you can still use FB messenger as your texting app and send and receive rcs messages to and from iOS. But I'm not giving FB access to my messages.

    What are you listening to?

    I'm a big fan of Lincoln Brewster. An excellent electric guitarist who toured with Steve Perry back in the day. I actually bought this CD this past week because the guitar solo was missing from the streaming version everywhere online for this particular song.

    POLL: Are you upgrading to the S26 Ultra?

    No as my 512gb S25U is good for another couple of years.

    Just Say (Hell) NO to upgrading to the S26 Ultra! Downgrades, prices hikes and disappointment

    I honestly think the S25U is my favorite device. Flat screen, anti reflective coating on it. Sure, the s pen doesn't have Bluetooth, but honestly I didn't buy the ultra for the s pen anyway. I just wanted the biggest and best phone Samsung had to offer. And no I didn't want a fold. Too fragile...

    Pre-order "deals" are unimpressive to put it mildly!

    I'm glad I bought my S25U last year since the prices went up by $100. I am paying $1399 for my 512gb rather than $1499 this year. I'm not eligible anyway since I'm financing through Verizon.

    How do you guys purchase your phone? Directly from Samsung or from carrier?

    If I know I'm going to keep one phone for long enough, I'll get it through the carrier. For the most part, after you pay on it for year or so, you can generally pay it off and sell it for what you owe on it. That's what I've done a few times. I usually end up racking up more debt buying it from...
