    Hybrid vs Single Sim

    Firstly wanted to check I have understood these correctly. Hybrid is essentially dual sim (is this dual sim + an sd card slot or two slots total and the second can be sd or sim). Single is obviously 1 sim card only but I believe this has an sd card slot as well as the single sim - is that...

    Note 8 or S9+

    Can you expand on the freezing issue. My s7 edge would lock up when the phone went into deep sleep. Is this what you mean? If so I worry this is a Samsung thing rather than an s7 edge or note 8 thing.

    Fast charging questions

    I currently have an S7 Edge (exynos in the uk) and i understand its not got qualcomm quick charge (or at least I dont believe it has) as its a samsung chip not qualcomm. However a qualcomm quick charge 3 charger charges the phone and it displays quick charge message and does seem to charge...

    Old Dex Dock

    I know the Dex dock for the S9+ isnt due until june but I believe the one for the note / S8 work - is that correct? Does anyone know if there is any disadvantage to using this - I was hoping the pre orders would get a discount / get a dock for free when its released but it would seem not :(

    Buying direct from carrier

    I may not have my terminology correct here but I believe there are various radio bands in the phone and the more that are used, the more have to be licensed from the chip manufacturer - lets say qualcomm but we have exynos and hence samsung in the UK. I have been told that samsung will only...

    I have an LG Watch Sport — ask me about it!

    I think its disapointing that the wireless charging isnt qi. As i have a qi pad I carry to charge my phone, being able to use the same for my watch would be perfect instead of having to buy multiple watch docs which commonly arent available at launch (if at all).

    I have an LG Watch Sport — ask me about it!

    I know they are non removable because the antennas are in the strap. However if lg sold replacements then are they user replaceable in that sense or would it be a return to lg repair?

    Effects of fast charging

    Im guessing wireless quick charge is kinder than micro usb quick charge though as it will have less current?

    Effects of fast charging

    Thanks Mooserman15. I dont actually do overnight charging but i was using that as a term to mean when time isnt important. I tend to put the phone on a non rapid qi charging pad when i am sat for a period of time so it lives in the 60 - 80% band normally and i find if i put it on a pad when i...

    Effects of fast charging

    I have a Anker powerport quick charger and supplying that from an anker quickcharge 3 wall charger or car charger (which ever is applicable). I just wondered if using the wireless quick charge when i dont necessarily need quick would be damaging the battery more

    Effects of fast charging

    I know its said that fast charging a device via usb puts a larger strain on the battery than a slower standard 2A charge and should be avoided if it isnt necessary ie if you only need an overnight charge. My question is, does the same apply to fast qi charging or is that ok due to the fast...

    change in wear notifications

    Up to a recent wear update, the notification controls appeared at the bottom of wear. When a podcast or play music was playing we got a pause button. When paused we got a play one. The interface when minimised was a simple white line drawing. Now this isn't appearing in favour of a new graphical...
