    Android Pay disabling itself

    It's doing that because it is so ashamed of its inferiority to Samsung Pay. ;) I'm curious if/when SP will ever come to Europe.

    Stock Samsung apps

    I use my Office 365 accounts to handle those, and they sync with the Samsung calendar. Say what you want about Microsoft, but Exchange is pretty dialed in. BTW I like your username. :)

    Does the S8/S8+ Use Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 or 4.0

    Android or Samsung Pay?

    Do you all notice a difference between having NFC turned on when you make a payment? I was at Sport Clips today and it didn't work the first time I tried it and then I tried turning NFC on and it worked. Then I went to the gas station and tried it with NFC still on and it didn't work (yeah I...

    Stock Samsung apps

    Bingo. I use stock messages, email, calendar, contacts, keyboard, but not browser. I love the privacy features in Firefox, although now that there are ad blockers for the Samsung browser, maybe I'll give it a try. I use UBlock Origin on Firefox and it blows away Adblock Plus for Firefox in...

    MKBHD Camera Comparison

    I dunno, to me, C crushes B in the first four photos. The next two are toss-ups and B wins the last one.

    MKBHD Camera Comparison

    Yeah, I can't believe how consistent the color shift is in that set. Easy to make a Lightroom rule for, unfortunately most of my phone pics never make it into Lightroom. The S8's rendering of the yellow line in the car pic is pretty bad also.

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Verizon Visual Voicemail

    Mine started doing that since the Nougat update on my S6 Edge. Haven't been able to figure anything out yet. Other than the fact that it's super annoying.

    Card holder cases

    I just got the CoverON case today. Here's the review I posted to Amazon: "First thing's first: this case will not hold both a credit card and a driver's license. One credit card works fine. If you had two thin cards (like a bus pass and a DL) that might fit. When I put the DL and credit card...

    Anyone order from Samsung directly?

    I tried calling them to request the $50 gift card that others received for having their phones delayed, but I couldn't get through in under 30 minutes the two times I called. So I sent them an e-mail, and today I got a reply basically saying "yo no se," "these aren't the droids you're looking...

    Nope, me neither. I'm sure they'll contact us when they want our money.
