I ordered a Galaxy S10e from Samsung Certified re-newed. I have a Galaxy S8 to trade in meaning out of pocket cost is $225 after trade in. My understanding is Samsung Certified re-newed are pristine with a new battery. I was pretty happy with the S8 and the S10e is essentially a 2 year newer...

thanks for the reply...extremely helpful, so you use the camera on the 5a extensively and you are pleased with the quality of pictures and haven't experienced any issues with sluggish processing nor overheating?

Hello, I am in the market for a new phone and I am seriously considering the Pixel 5a. The main reason why I haven't pulled the trigger yet, is I have been reading some things about how there is sometimes some lag when using camera which I thing is attributed to the 765G processor being not up...

Holy Cow! I never knew that setting existed. I always wanted my Google Search articles to open in my default browser, I just assumed Google strong armed it into Chrome. I just turned off the toggle and now it opens in my default browser -- in this case Samsung Browser. Oh, and I have the...

No need to post in the S20 forum if the S20 has it. So you are confidant that the S20 has it as well? I actually looked through the manuals on Samsung's support site for the S10 and the S20 and neither manual shows that it has the Smart Call. I appreciate the screen shot. I found similar...

Hey, yes I posted the same questions in the S20 forum because I want to know if this is available on the S20. I have searched the internet at length for an answer including all over the Samsung web site and I can't find it. The S20 and the S10 are different phones which is why I put it in both...

good to know. I am going to trade in my S8 for either a 10 or a 20. Samsung's website is vague on if it's included. in fact, it didn't list S10 or S20 as including it -- just up to S9. The manual for the S10 and S20 don't show it either. I guess they are trying to cater to the carriers as AT&T...

Hello, I use Verizon Prepaid and I am looking to buy a factory unlocked phone. Does Samsung still include Smart Call (robocall spam call protection) on the factory Unlocked Galaxy S10 ? Verizon's robocall blocking on prepaid is a joke and I have no desire to sign up for a postpaid plan. Thanks!

Hello, I use Verizon Prepaid and I am looking to buy a factory unlocked phone. Does Samsung still include Smart Call (robocall spam call protection) on Unlocked Galaxy S20 or S20fe phones? Verizon's robocall blocking on prepaid is a joke and I have no desire to sign up for a postpaid plan. Thanks!

clearing the cache seemed to the trick. the screen of course still lags, but that is just because for whatever reason Google, component manufacturers, and device manufacturers just can't ever seem to figure out how to mimic IOS lag free scrolling. Oh well, for $500 after trade in a brand new S10...

I am just curious if anyone else is experiencing over heating and poor screen scrolling experience (lots of lagging) with their S8. I seriously doubt there is anything wrong resulting from physical damage as the phone has been well cared for. I also replaced the battery at YBIF about 15...

True that. Only premium tablet worth paying for is Ipad I just don't understand the appeal for a Surface Pro, unless one is using a custom Windows based tablet oriented application. If i want an Android Tablet. it would be a Fire or perhaps a Galaxy Tab A. Android tablet experience sucks...

I had my Galaxy S8 battery replaced at Ubreakifix. If I recall, they didn't do a FDR. If I recall, all of my data on my SD card got erased. When they replaced my battery, it boinked my headphone jack for some reason, so Ubreakifx replaced the entire bottom piece of my phone -- headphone...

OK, I finally figured it out...Not sure exactly what I did, however, I think it may have been changing the power level to full throttle and then changing it back to moderate. Sorry for the double post. I hit the edit to delete one of them, but I didn't see the option to delete one.

Ever since I updated to Android Pie, I have been unable to get my phone to vibrate when I receive a text message. I have Google Messages set as default. I have tried a FDR. I have been through every setting imaginable. It's driving me batty... It also won't display the blink light anymore...
