    Samsung S22 Ultra or Google Pixel 7 Pro?

    I, too, love the Note 20 5g. I prefer the smaller size. My first Note was the Note 4. I guess I've had one of every model since then, but always the smallest version offered for a year.

    Fingerprint scanner

    I've tried both index fingers and right thumb with no success other than immediately after registering. I use the left index with my phone without a problem. Really baffling to me.

    Fingerprint scanner

    Am I the only one who can't get the fingerprint unlock to work on my Tab 57+? I remove and re-register my print and it works fine when testing afterwards. However, after that initial setting and testing I can't get the scanner to work at all. I'm on Android 12 and have no screen protector on my...

    S7 tab split screen issue after A12 update

    My 57+ is on Android 12 and split screen still works on mine. In fact, I switched to split screen after the first sentence just to ensure it doesn't work only with the 2 primary apps I use in split screen view.

    Tab S7 sale

    I use the S-Pen all the time on my 57+ . I mostly choose to use handwriting input when using my case without a keyboard.

    Ugh!! Looks like my screen died on my N20U. Suggestions?

    I had a similar experience on a former phone only to discover that somehow the screen brightness had gotten turned all the way down. Could just barely see the screen at night in a dark room and adjusted the brightness. Then I took care to remove the setting for the brightness slider to show when...

    How much free space for storage when new?

    I have had the 128 GB version for about a year now. I have between 180 - 200 apps installed, including a couple of Bible apps with fairly exhaustive libraries. Mine is using about 72.5 GB of storage space. I use the tablet daily for many different purposes and am completely satisfied with it

    How does Best Buy trade-in work now?

    I've bought my last 5 phones unlocked directly from Samsung. They also provide 2 years interest free financing if you need it. If/when I decide to replace my Note 20 5g I'll purchase the next one the same way. With an unlocked phone you can use it with any carrier.

    Vizio SmartCast not connecting

    Yes. I had quite a lengthy troubleshooting session with Vizio chat this afternoon. They pushed updates to my TV. Since my tablet finds the TV but my phone doesn't I'm guessing it has to be something changed on my phone. No changes I'm aware of other than the latest security update. I was...

    Vizio SmartCast not connecting

    I discovered today that my phone no longer connects to my Vizio TV via the SmartCast app. Today was the first time I attempted to use it since the last security update of September 1, 2021. I tried clearing the cache and data from the app, clearing the full phone cache, removing and...

    IMEI problem

    I was with them until this past May when I switched to T-Mobile for the 5g. Problem with T-Mobile was too many dead zones in the areas I travel. We had excellent coverage with StraightTalk in the past. I decided just having basic usability of the phone was more important than the few areas where...
