    Verizon Galaxy S8 Long press issues and ghost touches

    I didn't even think about trying a different launcher. I'll give that a shot today. Thanks. Would love to hear if anyone has figured out anything regarding the ghost touches. It's not all the time, but when it happens, it's near impossible to use my phone.

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Long press issues and ghost touches

    I've had issues with my S8+ since I got it with not being able to perform long presses anywhere on my screen. I notice it frequently when I'm in the apps screen. The other, similar issue I've had is with ghost touches. They're always in the upper left corner. It usually happens if I'm holding...

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Charging habits and wireless chargers

    Back to a Galaxy for the first time since my S5. Was using a Nexus 6P, which I loved, but the battery went to complete garbage about a year in. I was only getting like 4-5 hours with light usage. That aside, here are my questions: 1. Should I drain my S8 battery down every day? I work from...

    "Clear all" is back

    For years, we've been told it's never a good idea to clear all apps, and that's why we don't have it. So now that it's here, should we assume it's a good practice or did Google just give in to what people were asking for?

    Moved and battery life drained drastically

    I just recently moved and have noticed that my phone battery has been dying rapidly. I work from home and during my work day (8-5), my phone is down to 30-40% around 5pm. SOT is usually around an hour and there are huge dips when I'm on calls. I don't have great service here, but I'm on Wi-Fi...

    Phone not charging issue

    I guess it's just some weird thing with the charger unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestions on other chargers, but I'll probably just stick with this for now. 75% is fine for me. I have a desk job and my Google charger is there. I get up to 100% before 9:30am.

    Phone not charging issue

    No, it was a cheap one I got on Amazon. The 75% thing just seems odd to me though, and I wanted to see if anyone has had a similar problem. I know the easy fix is just to buy an official charger, but I'd rather not since it doesn't appear phones will be on USB-C as soon as some on here have said.

    Phone not charging issue

    My Google charger still works 100% fine. I know some of the responses will be to buy another one of those, but I'm curious if anyone has had this problem. I bought the little adapters to convert MicroUSB chargers into USB-C for the 6P. I usually use the charger with the adapter at night to...

    6P won't stay on vibrate

    I did try rebooting and nothing. Turns out it was the Yahtzee app of all things. I have no idea why.

    6P won't stay on vibrate

    I usually have my phone on ringer so I'm not sure how long I've been having this issue. I noticed it this morning because I wanted to stop getting sound notifications for a game I was playing. After playing the game for a few minutes, I go back to my homescreen and the ringer is on again. I...

    Using Mobile Hotspot on Verizon

    Now, I feel stupid. I didn't even realize it was just in the settings menu. Thanks.

    Adaptive brightness

    There's definitely a lot of room for improvement with it. I don't know if I'm just remembering an old phone more fondly than it ever was, but I thought my Galaxy S5 did it great. The only time I ever took manual control over it was when I was watching a movie at the gym and wanted it at max...

    Using Mobile Hotspot on Verizon

    I searched the forums but couldn't find the answer. How do I get Verizon's Mobile Hotspot app on this phone?

    Google Nexus 6P Car Mount/Dock

    I do. I only ever use the car mount when I'm using my phone as a GPS and prefer to have the sound come from the phone and not interrupt my radio. I don't use my phone for music. It's not a big deal to me, but I just wanted to make everyone else aware of some of the issues (or non-issues if you...

    Have you tried to manually assign them?
