    Phone updated, now "Superfast Charging" Status drops to "Charging" after a few seconds

    Phone updated, now "Superfast Charging" Status drops to "Charging" after a few seconds But it looks like based on the "estimate to full" time that it's still Superfast charging. What an odd change Samsung made. Any way to revert back to keeping Superfast Charging displayed at all times? I have...

    After Update, Google Assistant defaulting to text input

    Found the answer, it's a bug. https://9to5google.com/2022/08/29/google-assistant-keyboard-pixel/ If you switch to the Beta Google app, the problem goes away.

    After Update, Google Assistant defaulting to text input

    After installing the update this morning, Google defaults to text input even though I have voice input preferred. This also is happening when I hold down the home button to activate Google. Has anybody found a fix to default back to voice? I have the T-Mobile version. Thanks

    Screen Reflective Coating

    Coming from the Watch 4 Classic, the 44mm Watch 5 has a reflective screen coating on it that the classic did not. What's the purpose? Seems to be a little visually distracting in comparison.

    Where to sell T-Mobile Frontier S3

    Where would be the best place to sell an excellent condition T-Mobile Frontier? Not having luck on the Offer Up app in Hawaii. Swappa doesn't have any current listings, so I'm not sure of the demand there. Guess it's a pretty specialized item. Thank you.

    To those who think you don't need a screen protector for S8

    Your can tell the Oleophobic scratches as they have very little texture and depth. They're usually clustered together and form more readily on the curves of the screen. Without the coating our phones would look like a disgusting pile of grease. It's definitely an imperfect compromise.

    I've had both over several phones. Only the glass scratches were visible when the screen is on.

    Oleophobic scratches won't distort the phone's light like glass scratches do.

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Video stabilization

    Optical Stabilization is always on which is the main thing. This is additional digital stabilization.

    To those who think you don't need a screen protector for S8

    The glass is not scratching. It's the Oleophobic coating. Hard to see unless the screen is off and you shine a light at a certain angle. Everyone will see these eventually over time if they look hard enough.

    Screen keeps turning on when turned off on Google Assistant screen.

    The phone will turn off, then the screen turns right back on. Any suggestions?

    Any get the March firmware update from T-Mobile?

    Looks like they haven't released it yet. The last update was from November. Ugh T-Mobile.

    Vibrate except for Ringer?

    Is there a way to have the ringer sound while having the rest of the notifications vibrate? Sound Mode keeps turning on when I Increase the ringer volume off of Zero. Thanks.

    New update / HORRIBLE battery life

    A full reset helped my battery drain with the older firmware. Also, do a clean install, don't restore apps/settings from a backup.
