    Coronavirus Crushing S20 Launch - Sales Down 50%

    My iPhone XS Max two years ago was $1199. Same price as the S20+ I am about to buy, and the S20+ is in my opinion a superior device. Plus there's a $150 Samsung credit usable on the Samsung store, so maybe there'll be something good to get there like a case or ear buds. Okay the pricing on the...

    Does the S20 line come with RCS messaging???

    How does the Samsung Messages app play with iMessage? I am switching and a lot of my family has iPhones. I want to make sure I can still send pics, emojis, stickers, animated gifs, web and YouTube links and so on to them. They’re gonna blub that I’m green but as long as I can still share the...

    Moving from a 6s plus to an S7

    iMessage encrypts all messages between iPhone users, it's backed up to the user's account as well. iMessage allows the user to pick up conversations on their computer or tablet seamlessly, and it uses wifi/data rather than sms between iPhone users as well. With all due respect, for me...

    Initial Impressions of the HTC 10

    I like the simple clock/weather widget on this phone. Is that an HTC exclusive or is it available for download somewhere? I have a buddy who went iphone but he has been missing Android, and I am pretty sure the HTC 10 is the phone that's going to bring him back.

    S7 Calendar Limitations

    The Google Calendar is really nice, but the icon has a static 31 on it. That is a Costco sized box of fail in 2016. That's why I'm still using the Samsung calendar.

    Moving from a 6s plus to an S7

    I'm a new switcher. The Samsung swipe keyboard is magical. My wife insists it reads minds. She's still on an iPhone, so I miss iMessage and Find My Friends. iMessage is irreplaceable but there are Android replacements for finding friends and family. It's so nice to plug in my phone and not...

    4G LTE Appearing Randomly

    I'm trying to figure out why every once in a while I see the little 4G LTE icon show up on the top right side of my phone. This happens while I am at home, on my wifi network. Tonight I noticed it happen while I was watching Netflix, so I know my wifi didn't drop out. I'm trying to figure out...

    S7 Battery life SOT

    My screen brightness is set to 50%. It edged downward automatically at night, not sure how low it goes, maybe down to 45%?

    Can someone explain the app folder?

    I'm obviously new to Android. I've always used iPhones before I got my S7. So I am confused by the app folder. It seems completely redundant. All my apps are in the app folder, but they also get copied to the home screens. So, why exactly do I need the app folder? Or am I supposed to use it...

    S7 Battery life SOT

    My carrier is AT&T, as to the processor, I can't say for sure. Is there a way to tell? I know some of these are made in different places, mine was made in Korea.

    S7 Battery life SOT

    I am getting a touch over 5 hours SOT. I'm satisfied with that. My usage today has been browsing the web, playing music, mobile hot spot for about an hour, a little Boom Beach, and about 40 pictures with the camera. I also used Facebook Messenger for about an hour, and a few other apps for a...

    One more day left in my iPhone 6s Plus return window and missing the S7......

    I have been using iPhones since they were introduced in 2007. I finally decided to try Android with an S7. At this time, there is no replacement for iMessage. It is great, and turns out it is, for now, irreplaceable. Photostream is easily replaced with Google Photos, which works the same way but...

    Can I / How do I disable multi-window / split-screen view.

    I found this thread on Google. I just got an S7 a week ago and the split window function has been driving me freakin crazy. Fortunately this app works on the S7 as well. Lifesaver.
