It is an S24. I tried the "pressing the power button" to get the phone to boot in safe mode (4 days ago). No freezing since, although the phone was not "frozen" at the time.

I am using 4 different unlocked Samsung phones on Google Fi (S24, S24 Ultra, Z-Flip 5, Z- Fold 5). I switch fairly frequently, depending on my current activities. The main factor for switching is the form-factor/size of the various phones. I have no problems with any of the phones except for the...

After 10-15 years exclusively on Samsung phones and wearables, I dove into a Pixel Fold. My main reason for switching is the form factor. I'm retired in AZ, and the Galaxy Fold will not easily fit in my cargo pants or shorts. I was not successful in pairing my Galaxy watches with the Pixel...

My S22 Ultra on AT&T updated to Android 13, UI5, and my Galaxy Watch 4 also updated. Certain features disappeared and I've tried every setting that my have gotten changed. I currently switch my Sym between 3 phones (in addition to the S22 Ultra, I have a Fold 3 and a Z Flip 5g), all locked to...

Played with it. Very nice as an Android tablet. Seems to be not very handy as a phone. No exterior indicator to see who is calling. I think I'd get very frustrated using it day-to-day.

Went to BestBuy and compared the 10+ to my Note 8. Almost identical size case, but bigger screen on the 10+ with the almost non-existent bezel.

Used to like iOS because it "just works". Now I cannot take it seriously. No file structure, no SD card storage expansion, no inking. For business, not useful beyond simply texting and making/answering phone calls. I laugh at the clumsy workarounds that Apple fanboys use to justify iPhone...

My Gear S has been sitting in the drawer for a few years as it wouldn't sync with Samsung phones for a while. I pulled it out to charge it and try it on, and lo-and-behold, the Wear app found it and connected. Another option for wearing without my phone. Ron

Love my Note 8 but it is not sufficient for taking notes in my consulting projects (narrow, curved-edge screen). Picked up a Mate 20X and M-Pen. Expensive, but a terrific note-taking device. I've now use it in two week-long projects, and taking notes in One-Note is great. The 20X has a 5000...

There is a case with a pen-holder on e-bay. A bit pricey, but worth it to me to be able to carry the pen with the phone...

Some have said that the Mate 20 X uses Wacom AES pen technology. Any ideas about a Wacom AES alternative to the Huawei Mate M-Pen? Ron

Here is the size comparison between the Mate 20 X, Note 8 phone, and Note 8.0 tablet The Mate 20 X is only about 1 cm wider and longer than the Note 8 phone, but, at least so far, seems to be better for extended note-taking. Better battery-life and clearer and louder speakers are two...

Found the solution! Outlook for Android has an additional setting to allow the syncing of contacts. All working now. Ron

I've just received my Mate 20 X L29. In the process of setting it up, and I've run into a problem. I use Microsoft Exchange for my work e-mail, contacts, and calendar. I also have a g-mail e-mail account. On my previous Android phones, Outlook for Android syncs with the Exchange servers, and...

Just ordered. Have been using a Galaxy Note 8 for a year, and my travel devices have been the Note 8, Galaxy Tab S3 for note-taking in interviews and observations, and a Surface Go LTE as my travel PC (need windows to runs some of the software we use). Hoping to reduce my travel devices to 2...
