    Should I install the Oreo update?

    I have an S7 and just did the update about 1 week ago. Was nervous about it but it went fine and my phone is working great. I had no problems of any kind, neither with an apps after the upgrade.

    Help with Blackberry HUB app

    I use the HUB and your assumptions if how it should work are correct. To see the unread messages, I tap on the message thread and then I see a new list of emails, i.e., whatever was in the thread. At that point I can scroll and see rhe unread email messages. No swiping left or right involved.

    Best Backup Software/App

    I have a Galaxy S7 and I want to be able to do daily/weekly backups to a PC. What is the best software/app to handle this? I am not interested in any cloud-based backup service, only backing up to a PC. Ideally, the solution would handle incremental backups after the first full backup has...

    The S7 Nougat Update Ruined my Phone

    I think that is the point. Why should the user have to recreate everything from scratch? Moral to the story is to upgrade when necessary or forced and not before. I'm a former Blackberry user and I can't get over the amount of time and effort it takes to make an Android OS truly functional...
