    Oreo Update for Tab S2?

    Well, then I guess you got your "one update" too. In all likelihood, your Tab S2 would work even better with Nougat than it does with Marshmallow. Too bad Samsung maintains its "one update" policy, even where hardware age and/or configuration is not an issue.

    Oreo Update for Tab S2?

    Mine came with Marshmallow, but I got upgraded a year or so ago to Nougat. Since I got my "one upgrade", I guess that I should be happy.

    Call recorder app not working with Galaxy S9 plus

    Re: Call recorder apps not working with Galaxy S9 plus I am informed that the problem lies with nonproprietary components of Android ver. 8 (Oreo), not with Samsung (per se).

    Samsung Galaxy S6 back/battery swelling

    The only thing that could cause the back of an S6 to "swell" is a damaged Li-ion battery. Damaged Li-ion batteries can easily rupture and catch fire. You're lucky that this "bargain" S6 didn't burn your home down. Dispose of it at once by taking it to a hazardous waste facility and place it, or...

    Decided to get an S2, but having trouble deciding on which size

    The 8" model is lighter and easier to hold. I have the 9.7" model and sometimes it is just too darn heavy if your arm(s) are unsupported.

    You CAN get 100GB of free One Drive storage on AT&T and Verizon

    Re: You CAN get 100GB of free One Drive storage on AT&T and VERIZON. I visited my nearest Best Buy store yesterday afternoon (Metro Pointe At South Coast Plaza, 901 S Coast Dr., Costa Mesa, CA.). A "Samsung rep" AND the Samsung department manager both told me that your described procedure is...

    clearing unread text messaging badge

    I have the same problem (i.e. notification badge on my messaging icon falsely showing 1 unread message). I have a totally stock Droid RAZR MAXX HD running 4.4.2. My stock messaging app is version 4.4.2-10. SMS is set to "Messaging" (not "Hangouts"). All settings are default. Verizon is my...
