    Looking for good battery pack

    Does that one have the cables attached? That's what he was looking for, and what makes it hard for some reason.

    Just curious, why are the earphones which come with the S9 so expensive on the samsung website when

    Actually, these are the best included ear buds I've ever gotten with a phone. And once you go through setting up a detailed sound profile with them on the S9, music sounds excellent. Sure, I could spend a lot more but you'd have to to beat these. Not sure if they're $100 good (on their own)...

    Looking for good battery pack

    I have an older version of this one and it works great. Don't know why they are so hard to find, though. Mine has a wall plug so you just plug into the wall, but they don't sell that one anymore. This is the closest to it. And the description is a little misleading in that it says 2 usb c...

    How often do you use your S Pen?

    Saw a similar thread on the Note forum so thought I'd ask here. I only use mine infrequently, basically for taking notes. However, I do find that very handy and purposely bought the S6 since it was the newest with the S Pen. I've downloaded a few more apps (drawing, editing) to see if I'll...

    Book Cover gNo Keyboard

    This is exactly right. I have both the keyboard case (bought it half price when the tablet came out) and just recently bought the Book Cover. I like them both, but the ideal solution is a dummy flap to cover the screen when you don't need the keyboard. The back of the keyboard cover is great...

    Possible to completely disable Bixby?

    On my S9, once I accepted the Bixby agreement, I could then remap the Bixby button and basically disabled it on my phone. When I swipe from the left, I get Google Assistant/tiles, which is what I like and am used to. I'd love to get the same on my S6. I've tried turning everything off but I...

    S-pen Issues

    Interesting, especially since I just got the Samsung book cover and it uses magnets. But I tried scribbling all over the screen like the OP and had no problems.

    Best way to remove Keyboard Cover

    Heh heh! Nope, my case stuck first time (once I removed the plastic film) and never budged. Been that way for several weeks. Pulling it off was a little frightening.

    Best way to remove Keyboard Cover

    Okay gang, I have zero problems with my keyboard cover staying on. Indeed, I was actually scared I was going to damage it removing it to use my new book cover. I basically peeled/forced it off by grabbing along one of the edges. So, how else can you do it so it doesn't feel like you're...

    Post your DeX setup

    Nice. I haven't really thought about using an extended display as I'm just now playing around with Dex. I do like it, though. Seems like a nice laptop-style workspace and an external monitor can add more versatility.

    Fingerprint unlock not as quick?

    Mine is much quicker/more accurate than my S7. Plus I like having two different fingers registered. I can unlock with either hand. I can't speak to how well this compares to other brands as these are the only 2 phones I've used with fingerprint recognition.

    Show us picture(s) taken with your S9/S9+!

    Probably the result of my underexposure by a full stop. In other words, user error.
