    Android Central app updates and ads

    Why is it that any time Android Central updates the app, ads always show up even though I paid a subscription to remove them? I have notified AC several times and once got a refund for my subscription before it was supposedly fixed, making me resubscribe. Now, the only solution is to keep...

    Beta Close Notice for Note 9 Users: Insulting, Amusing, Insensitive...

    Android P is being pushed out to Verizon customers and beta testers with unlocked Note 9 devices as at the time of posting this. The Samsung OneUI beta forum has also been closed and migrated to the Samsung Members app. I guess that is the successful end of this saga. It was a bittersweet...

    Beta Close Notice for Note 9 Users: Insulting, Amusing, Insensitive...

    Yes, they could. But despite the hassle of rolling back to Oreo with a PC and Smart Switch, they'd still be stuck without recent security updates and no OneUI. Thus rolling back would mean being even way behind than beta users...

    Beta Close Notice for Note 9 Users: Insulting, Amusing, Insensitive...

    No, this isn't the case actually. Samsung rolled out 3 beta builds (the last being in December) and then announced a final build that has fixes from that last December beta plus February security updates. This final build is the version that has been pushed out to carriers and other older...

    Beta Close Notice for Note 9 Users: Insulting, Amusing, Insensitive...

    Dear Samsung, this is insensitive and cruel. Long backstory. Ever since Samsung opened up their Android P beta last year, users have actively signed up, installed said beta and constantly given feedback to help smooth out bugfixes. There were 3 updates to the Android P beta (last one was sent...

    No official Android 9 Pie updates for unlocked Note 9 users.

    Yes, I do know what beta testing entails, that's why I haven't complained about the state of software we were experimenting with. And yes, updates weren't promised either. What sucks is the fact that other carrier versions have got said updates (and these carriers usually delay so as to...

    No official Android 9 Pie updates for unlocked Note 9 users.

    It is something of a shame that users of unlocked Note 9 devices in Northern America are yet to receive official 9.0 Pie updates from Samsung weeks after other older flagships like the Note 8 and S9+ have got same. Even worse are beta testers who are still stuck with December updates despite...

    How do I solve multiple reboots on my S7e Duos?

    Just to be clear, this problem is with the international unlocked dual-SIM version of the S7 edge which I bought off an international retailer on eBay. The phone has been wonderful until almost two months ago when I flashed the official 7.0 update using Odin. I did this manually because the...

    Coral Blue (AT&T not available at Best Buy

    Tried ordering the Blue Coral AT&T version today at Best Buy and unfortunately it is not available. Tried in shop and online and it is marked as "Not orderable". Didn't even know orderable was a word until today. Even more sadly, the store lookup feature says there isn't any within 250 miles...

    Carrier branding prominent on the Note 7?

    I guess I'll have to wait till people receive theirs before I know for sure, but does anyone know if the Note 7 will come with carrier branding? I have to do an unboxing video for an international tech blog, and I'd hate for the branding to show, especially if it is prominent. Part aesthetics...
