No lag. No problems. I got this phone specifically for its camera and it's been great. I understand the frustration with having problems that no one else seems to have--I had a Samsung S9+ and hated it, while everyone else was voting it phone of the year. But me venting frustrations over that...

No. I like it a lot. (But that's how I felt about the Samsung S9+. Everyone seemed to love it except for me, so I understand your sentiments.)

I realize I'm in the minority with my opinion, but I wanted to let you know you're not alone: The S9+ is my least favorite flagship I've bought. After 4 months, it got laggy as hell. I restarted it every 1-2 days. I used it often throughout the day, but I didn't have that many apps. I sold it...

Thanks, gavo360! I found this setting, so I'm going to give it a try.

I received my S9+ yesterday (lilac purple ftw!). This is my first Galaxy since the S3. I've disabled the face/iris unlock, mainly because I want to see notifications on the lockscreen. This may be a dumb question, but is this a common preference? I'm coming from the iPhone 8 Plus and much...

This won't help you any, but I ordered an iPhone 7 Plus this weekend. I'm sure I'll be back to Android once I get bored with iOs in a few months. For me, switching things up is the fun part of technology nowadays.

What phone are you currently using? I see you on iMore :) I'm thinking of switching to the 7 Plus, but I know you prefer the smaller SE. (I sound like a stalker now--ha!)

Mine is holding up well. No damage. But I get bored with phones easily, so I'm looking at something else. While I like the dual camera on it, I notice the limitations when it comes to low light and macro shots. But hey, for the price, it's a good camera. Battery life isn't as good with Android...

Honor 8 is a great phone, but since I get bored with phones quickly I'm already looking at something else. The camera on the Honor 8 will be a downgrade, so that's worth considering if it's important to you. Also, no wireless charging or Samsung Pay.

This little guy flew into a window. He was in shock for several minutes before being able to fly away.

I love tigers!

Thanks, Vanessa!!!!! Denying the microphone permission worked. It sucks that I can't use voice search now, but I use it rarely compared to other things that trigger that annoying notification.

I have...It'll turn off, but when I exit the setting screen, it turns back on. Urrrgggg. :(

Update: Vanessa suggested I deny microphone access for Google in permssions settings, and that fixed the problem below. Deleting the OK Google voice model also fixes it. Whenever I use video or microphone in an application (such as Soundhound and Snapchat), I get an error message...

With EMUI 5.0, I no longer have controls on the lock screen for Spotify. Any fix to this? I've allowed notifications for it but that didn't help.
