    Galaxy S8/S8 Plus Pros and Cons

    Considered waiting for the Note8, but when I went to check out the phone, I didn't think the lack of pen would be an issue for me personally. Pros: Beautiful design (love the near zero bezels, makes my iPhone 6S+ that I use for work look like an antique) Great battery life so far AOD...

    Just bought an "Iphone 8"!!

    So far, I am thoroughly impressed with the S8+. I have an iPhone for work and bought a Note7 last year for my personal usage, went to a S7Edge (hated it), then to an Axon7. Well, sold my Axon7 and picked up the S8+ this week. Also bought the Gear S3 Frontier for $50 from AT&T and they are...

    Zte Axon 7 vs Nexus 6p-

    Also on AT&T here, I had a Note7, then "borrowed" a Note S7Edge, then returned that and used a Note4 until I picked up the Axon7 last week. Love the phone, fantastic battery life (better than all the Samsungs IMO), and can't beat the price!

    Can a 256 GB Micro SD card work with this phone?

    I am using a Samsung EVO 256GB card and it works great!

    horrible signal strength

    So far so good with my Axom 7. On AT&T I get the same level of signal that I get on my work iPhone 6S+ and my former Note7, Note4. Speed tests are the same as well.

    Pulled the trigger

    I've always used Nova Launcher and will use that on the Axom. Can't wait to get it (probably next Wednesday with standard shipping).

    Insurance/ warranty

    I really like that warranty plan, will definitely save me money long term from paying for AT&T's horrible coverage or even Square Trade! Can't wait to get mine!

    Pulled the trigger

    I just ordered by Quartz Gray from NewEgg on eBay. Also nervous but excited about the phone from the reviews I have read and videos I have watched. Went from a Note7 (didn't kaboom) to a Note4, to the Axom 7. Really like the features, not concerned about the lack of onscreen buttons (since I...

    Installed Wear 2.0

    My refurbished Hauwei Watch will arrive tomorrow, and I have been thinking of installing Wear 2.0 right off the bat. Are you using an iPhone or Android? I have an iPhone for work (have an Apple Watch currently) and also a Note4 for personal stuff. Debating on which one to connect it to...

    New watch?

    I really like the looks of the Huawei so I picked one up from Newegg's eBay page for $169.99 (refurbed). Figured that would be ok to use that until someone comes out with a better watch.

    Is this normal battery usage?

    As a follow-up, a couple things happened as I have been traveling over the last week. 1) The time frame from being a new phone to still seeing the issues was about a week. 2) I modified the Location settings to Power Saving in Mode 3) The September update (AT&T) came out for the Note4...

    Is this normal battery usage?

    Are you running MM or LL? Honestly, I have had Android devices before and this is the worst battery life I've experienced. I don't recall my Note3 have this crappy battery life.

    Is this normal battery usage?

    Ok, new Note4, running MM with latest update through AT&T. 50% screen brightness. Many apps disabled (using recommended lists from various sites), including Facebook (using Swipe). When I installed MM after receiving the phone and getting a SIM, I did a factory reset. Am using Nova Launcher...

    AT&T N910A Marshmallow Update Out Now

    Battery life is horrible. New Note4, updated to MM right after I received it so I have no frame of reference for how good 5.1.1 was. Disabled all the obvious stuff including Facebook. Thinking of going back to 5.1.1 and not updating for a while to MM to see how the battery life is.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Battery

    Geez, I guess I waited to long to purchase. Nothing in stock for the Note4 from Anker on Amazon now. No batteries or the two battery/charger option. Hope they come back!
