    512 model sold out?

    I remembered when 256K was considered overkill for PCs. :)

    What method will you use to backup existing phone and restore to S21/+/Ultra?

    Just completed my transfer yesterday from S20U to S21U using a cable that included transferring my SDCard data too that went seamless. It created a folder on the S21U that had all my SDCard data and a lot of my apps were linked to the new SDCard folder automatically without me having to re-link...

    S21 Preorder Samsung Online

    Received mine yesterday. Was worried for a second as the last update from FedEx that it left their Memphis, TN facility at 2AM on 1/27, but I still received it with time to spare for the day at 1/27 2:30pm HST. Samsung and FedEx delivered on their 2-Day shipping for me including the Galaxy...

    S20+ to S21+ - Can you even tell you have a new phone?

    I use my camera a lot, so coming from an S20U to S21U was worth the upgrade for the improvements there. Everything else was more subtle in comparison. Only biggest disappointment that has been heard over was no MST. No SDCard wasn't too much of an issue, but the loss of MST will bite a little...

    Does the S21 Ultra come with a pre-installed screen protector?

    Same here as well, direct from Samsung US S21 Ultra 512 Unlock no screen protector, just the plastic film for the screen and camera. Based on all the talk would it have one or not I bought a screen protector before my phone arrived to put on the first day just in case. Worse case, I could use...

    S21 Preorder Samsung Online

    Yeah, I was bummed about that too. I guess that is the sacrifice you pay if you want it now instead of later. Never understood why Samsung cannot release more colors at launch on their high end models or at least colors that would be popular.

    Best S21 cases. Which one(s) are you getting?

    Ditto on the Otterbox Defender Pro. Been my go to after surviving multiple drops on past phones with this case that includes off of a 30ft drop during a hike. Expected the worse, had to replace my screen protector due to scratches, but the phone was like new after removing the scratched screen...

    What method will you use to backup existing phone and restore to S21/+/Ultra?

    Smart Switch here too. Walk away and let it do its thing - fairly painless. Been succcessful in the past S8 > S9 > S10 > S20 and now S21. I'll find out in 2 days. :)

    S21 Preorder Samsung Online

    Expected delivery 1/27 Ultra 512 Unlock with all accessories FedEx 2 Day - confirmed with FedEx. Samsung has been fairly accurate for me for my S20 and S10 deliveries in the past for pre-orders. I expect the same for the S21 and I live on on an island. :)

    so have you put a screen protector on it yet?

    Just applied Zagg on my S8+ that I received yesterday. Works great with no issues with my Slipcase Unicorn Beetle case too. I agree, love Zagg for the lifetime warranty on the screen protectors that I have used from them in the past since the Galaxy SIII days up to every version now...

    S7 Edge iHeart App Causes phone to over heat and shut off

    That is weird. Have you gone so far as to do a factory reset and installed the app first to check to see if you experience any problems prior to loading everything else? I also ran the app without BT and no heating or restart/crash issues with the app. I use the app practically everyday on my...

    S7 Edge iHeart App Causes phone to over heat and shut off

    I have had no problems at all with the iHeart app. I connect it up to my Bose Soundlink III and run it for hours with no heating issues whatsoever or interruption to BT. Not that it matters, but maybe try connecting it to another BT device?

    samsung fast wireless charger definitely isnt fast

    I'm sure people's mileage will vary, but I know the Samsung stand up fast charge stand is as fast or fast as the corded fast charger (Whew, that's a lot of "fast" in one sentence). It even works through my thin Incipio case. I know the cheaper wireless chargers out there from Amazon are all...

    S7 Edge - Tempered Glass Screen Protectors

    The Zagg HD dry comes in front screen or full body option. I agree with Jneusch, it is a lot easier than their old wet application. I installed mine without any bubbles. The trick is using the squeegee in the last part when removing the film and making sure you press down both edges with your...
