    How does Samsung trade-in work?

    I traded my S10+ for an S21+. Sammy gave me $550 trade-in allowance which was more than what I paid for it[emoji57]. But, they also threw in 4 months of YouTube and charged me California sales tax of $74 on the full retail price of the phone + YouTube. Net cost $323.99.

    Can I trust Samsung to push updates and patches?

    SG10+ on ATT. Still awaiting June security. I'm spoiled by my last phone - Essential PH-1. Very speedy security & OS updates, but now shut down. Next phone will probably be a Pixel. Too bad Android phones can't match Apple for long-term support.

    February Security Update

    Just received the February 1 security patch on my SG10+. It was an ATT device but was unlocked. Is the fact that my SG10+ was ATT the reason it is taking so long to receive the monthly security patches? I mean, it's not so great to get the February 1 update 2 days before March. What's up with ATT?

    Android Q beta as daily driver?

    Installed Q beta4 OTA on my Essential PH-1. So easy. I am so glad I bought the PH-1. My wife and son also have PH-1s. So far no sévère problems. I don't like the full gesture navigation. It feels unfinished and some apps are not compatible particularly when trying to go back to a previous screen...

    I can't receive phone calls on my Essential phone.

    Wife had a similar issue on ATT. Culprit turned out to be her haring aids which had been synced to the phone. Turned of "hearing aid", powered down, rebooted and all was ok. Still have to get the hearigng aids resynced.

    Android Q beta available

    I won't put this on my PH-1. Read the bug reports on Google - there are many, many bugs. Maybe Beta 4 will be a bit better.

    March 2019 OTA Update Available

    I applied the March 5, 2019 security update to all three of my Essential PH-1s. However, my wife's phone had microphone and speaker go dead within one hour. Could dial, but not hear and person called couldn't hear her. I went through settings and tried a number of things. Finally, did a factory...
