I upgraded my 10+ 5G to the S22 Ultra, and I'm beginning to think it was a mistake. First the good. Verizon gave me $700 for my Note 10 towards the new phone. When all was said and done, my monthly payment went down by a few bucks. The phone is nicely made, camera works well, screen looks...

I have a Note 10+ 5G, and just ordered the S22 Ultra. Yes, I could continue to use the Note, and probadly for quite a while, but reviews on the S22 are good, I'm getting $700 trade in for my phone, and I have device dollars. The deal is good, and so is the timing.

Nada. After cracking two Whitestone Domes, I've left my Note 10 without for a couple years now. No issues, so I don't see a need, particularly if you have a case with raised edges.

Black. Most will put a case on it anyway, right?

My experience has been average, or slightly worse, fingerprint recognition with this phone. I have a Whitestone Dome screen protector and registered the same fingerprint in two slots and still have average performance.

I'm just glad QuickStar is working again. Clock is finally back on the right side by the battery indicator, where it belongs.

Has anyone requested warranty replacement, and if so what was your experience? Mine has a crack in the upper left corner, at the same level as the notification bar. No damage to the phone so I'm not sure how it happened. Crack is probably 1/4" long, running at a diagonal from the left edge to...

Well, I came here to ask if everyone had Gmail dark mode. I guess not. Come on Googs, gimme dark mode!

Title says it all. I don't want a big, bulky Otter Box style case. I have a Tech21 on my Note 5 and I'm thinking of getting one of their Evo Check cases. Anything thinner and lighter that provides at least as much protection? Thanks, Mike

Not digging what it does to the fingerprint sensor. I'm guessing that's going to be the same for all the glass screen protectors.

Been thinking about it and I've decided that a Note 8 is in my future. Should be able to grab a great deal soon, and hopefully Samsung will give us a real upgrade with the Note 10.

I've been holding out, hoping the Note 9 would blow me away with new features and be worth the upgrade cost. Bigger display...check. Bigger battery...check. More storage...check. Better camera...check (probably). S pen tricks...check. Bigger price....holy crap! I mean it checks a lot of...

Hello, I encrypted my phone some time ago and have gotten used to entering my PIN to start the phone after powering it on. A few days ago it dawned on me that the phone was no longer asking for my PIN. Went into Lock Screen and Security and can't find the option to encrypt my phone anywhere...

Fixed it. Obviously something that my employer loads on the phone was interfering with the update process for Samsung apps. Factory reset, performed the regular phone setup, and updated all the apps. After that, went into Settings>Wallpapers and Themes and was able to download and install...

I'm not able to setup themes from my settings. This is a new S8 company phone with Oreo, that I received yesterday. I go to Settings>Wallpapers and themes. When I tap it, themes begin to open but then I'm taken to a screen to update Samsung Themes. Tapping update starts the process of...
