    Phone (for) a friend

    I have a friend with a first gen Google Pixel, the battery doesn't last and the speakers are all crudded up, etc. I'm going to get a group of friends to pay for a new phone for his birthday, and I found some super good condition phones on eBay that I want to ask about. One is a Motorola G7 and...

    Will getting my charging port repaired compromise the waterproof seals?

    Thank you both. It's actually been dead since September and I've been using my fast wireless charging stand since then. Does anybody know if it will be covered in my one year warranty?

    Will getting my charging port repaired compromise the waterproof seals?

    The Charging port on my Galaxy S9 is dead. I'm planning on taking it to a Samsung Authorized repair center (uBreakiFix) while still under my 1 year warranty, but I worry that getting the charging port repaired will compromise the waterproof seals when they remove the back cover, etc, and I'd...

    How to block email addresses in messaging?

    I've been getting some new spam texts from an email address registered to the "chase.com" domain. This is a legit domain for Chase bank, but the actual email address isnt real and whoever is sending these messages to me is changing their ID so it looks like it's coming from chase. Because it's...

    Shaky noise?

    If I shake around my S9, I can hear a quiet rattling noise. I think it has something to do with the camera, and while the camera still works fine and beautifully, I can't recall hearing this before. Does anyone else experience this?

    9.1mp or 12mp?

    In the camera app, I like how you can do the full picture view where it fills up the whole camera, but that changes the resolution to 7.9mp, and i have noticed a picture quality decrease with the full screen mode on. The full 12mp mode is only 4:3 which looks very small on the 18.5:9 phone...

    Save to SD card?

    I just put an SD card in my Moto Z Play, and I transferred all of the pictures on to it but I can't figure out how to get pictures taken with the camera to save to the SD card folder by default. Is there any way to do this, and if so, how?

    Otterbox Commuter

    On my Galaxy S6, I had ultimate protection; an Otterbox Defender series case with a perfect tempered glass screen protector. It wouldn't get scratched or cracked anywhere. It's a little harder with the Galaxy S9, with the Infinity Display. I'm thinking I'll get an Otterbox Commuter series case...

    Screen Protectors are worth it

    I have aq simple little Spigen case that really does not offer any screen protection, so I bought a fancy screen protector on Amazon that uses LOCA glue and a UV light. The screen protector isn't the strongest, but as far as I can tell, it has saved my Galaxy S9 from some form of damage. The...

    What budget Android?

    My neighbor has an iPhone SE and needs to upgrade. She's a little older and doesn't need an iPhone X or Note 8, but she does use her phone for her business and frequently calls, texts, and emails. She also uses the internet. So, she doesn't need a crazy powerful phone and it needs to be simple...
