    CDMA-Less Device on Verizon mvno's? (SMS fix)

    There is a lengthy, and growing, post in the OnePlus forum with lots of good information. I'm on VZW and SMS was not working out of the box for me. I was able to find good information in the OP forum and one call to VZW fixed it. But it seems like some MVNO customers are out of luck at the...

    Secure folder question

    I found that after signing into the play store from within the secure folder I started getting baseball notifications. You can go into notification settings and turn them off. Once I get all my apps installed in there I think I'll log out of the play store inside secure folder.

    Podcast player

    I picked mine up at Best Buy on Friday. Yes, you can control whatever app is currently playing content. For instance I was just controlling Pocket Casts to test it out. Works great

    What Keyboard is best?

    Have you tried SwiftKey beta? I was a big fan of Microsoft's branded keyboard until they killed it. Then I switched to SwiftKey and was very frustrated at its performance. But I recently found the beta app in the store and installed it. As of right now I can say it is much more accurate. Gboard...

    EVERNOTE Clipper

    I don't use a web clipper often enough to know the exact feature differences. But I am a big user of note taking apps. I switched from several years of being an Evernote user, and I still pay for premium, to OneNote. Before I made this reply I tried the clipper in Edge and noticed it didn't...

    Thinking about trading my Note 8 for a Pixel 2 XL

    For $996 on Amazon you can get the Nikon D7200 with two lenses and a case, and it takes AMAZING pictures. Phones take pictures for sure, you can also get Microsoft Word on the phone and type a 1000 page novel... Is it the best way? The camera is my last consideration when buying a phone because...

    New Microsoft Launcher Thread

    My favorite things are the fresh Bing background every day, the Recent Apps screen, and expanding drawer with quick settings at the bottom. I wish you could customize which quick settings were included. The most recent update brought more icon rows with 1/2 step icon placement very similar to...

    Verizon and Voice to Text?

    Google Voice is the way to go. I switched to iPhone for a while and used it on that platform. Now I just came back to Android for the Note8, installed GV and all my voicemail was still waiting to be ignored. Haha

    how are the speakers?

    Being a musician and somewhat of an audiophile this device has one of the worst speakers I've seen on a device in a long time. VERY thin and tinny sounding. so bad that it hurts my ears to listen to human voices on it. I end up carrying the included headphones around so that I don't have to...

    Battery anxiety at what percentage?

    I am shocked at how good the battery life is on this phone! I've only had it a little more than 24 hours but I'm only just now charging it for the second time. It's pretty much been on most of my waking hours while I play with all the settings. I can't wait to see what actual numbers look...

    Camera ICS+

    Just took a couple of test shots with no flash. There is a very slight difference in the brightness, with Camera ICS being the brighter one. I'm not sure it's different enough to warrant getting it. More testing must be done. I am actually surprised to see any difference though. Sent...
