    Exchange Sync Issues Post Pie Update

    I am having the same issue with my Note 8. Was working fine for over a year and when the email app was updated I stopped receiving emails. It seems to work intermittently at times where I will get some emails, but then it will stop. Would love a solution to this issue!

    Why is my Note 5 charging extremely slow?

    I am having the same problem. Using the same chord and wall plug that came with the phone. When I first got the phone, it was wicked fast, now it takes 6+ hrs to fully charge.

    Right now I'm using the Verizon messages+ app for my texts and it pops up a small window with the text message and allows me to reply without unlocking. On my s4 I used Textra which had a slew of personalization options, including a popup notification that you can reply with. Posted via the...
