    Is there a way to disable Android Pie Galaxy S9 wifi calling preferences notification?

    Open phone app, click on the three dots in upper right corner, settings, and there's a toggle for wifi calling. Found this thread while looking for the answer, then found answer elsewhere. Thought I should come back here and share. Cheers

    Anyone had a cracked screen repair on Tab S3?

    Local guys didn't want to attempt a repair on it, and I've already picked up an S4. So I'm looking for the best place to send it in for repair. It's just the glass, the tablet works perfectly. Managed to catch the keyboard, but magnets released the tablet onto a tile floor. Anyone had...

    Verizon S9+ Unable to set individual SMS notification tones

    I've used Textra for messaging for a long time, and highly recommend. Changes the notification sound and led color for each of my important contacts. Makes it easy to see who it's from, even with the sound off. Kinda wish there were more led color options (as if I really have that many friends)

    New phone battery strategy; top up, or fully drain?

    What's the current thinking on this? I was regularly putting the old S7edge on the wireless charger to top it up, but wondering if that was doing more harm than good. What's your strategy?

    Fingerprint sensor hit or miss

    You can set up the same finger multiple times. It's like giving it more looks at the same thing. Both my thumb and index finger of dominant hand are in the phone twice - more likely for it to recognize them

    Wanna buy VZW N8 outright today. No bill credits, etc. Who has best price?

    I already have the plan and options I want, I'd like to keep my 7 Edge, I don't want to trade, or have bill credits, or wait for anything to be shipped to me. I'd really like to walk into a store and purchase a VZW N8, and ideally pay the <$700 that I hear Best Buy or whoever is offering ...

    Reasons to upgrade from S7e

    I told myself after 2 note7s that I wasn't going to preorder, just wait and see how the n8 is received once actual users have it. Now that it's out, I'm still kinda on the fence - I know it's going to be expensive, but that's not a big issue. I also know it's kind of a pain in the to swap yet...

    What do you use your SPen for?

    Took pictures of displays in my stores, then made notes of what I wanted my team to change right on the picture, then texted it to the store managers. Had some plumbing and electrical run to a building - took a picture of the area and drew in where all the lines are. And some drawing, though...

    Has anyone who owned a exploding Note 7 getting a Note 8?

    What finally got me to part with the N7 was when it was explained that my insurance won't be paying for damages caused by a recalled product. Everybody said they didn't worry about the phone catching fire, but never considered that if your home or apartment or hotel or whatever catches fire, and...

    Samsung (direct from them): Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    From what I'm reading, this deal ($425 trade-in) is available through the end of the month. So I'm hopeful all of you get yours asap - really want to see how it is received in the real world before I trade in this old S5 for $425.

    Samsung (direct from them): Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    I'd like to know if I'm reading this right - because I had a note 7, I'm eligible to get 425 off by trading in a phone, and from what I'm seeing, an S5 counts (?). I've got my wife's old S5 sitting in a drawer (bought her an S8 outright). Still paying monthly on the S7e I never wanted. So, if I...

    Security / Fingerprint Question

    Along the same lines... is it possible to increase the number of attempts before the 'try again in 30 seconds' message? I needed it to open now, not in 30 seconds.

    Just received a check from Verizon

    How long between you shipping the phone back and getting the check? Still procrastinating on sending mine in

    This phone is starting to grow on me

    Had to fire up (ha!) my note 7 today to get the notes off of it before I ship it back to Verizon, since they didn't copy to the edge. I've been liking the S7 edge just fine, and had mostly forgotten how much better I liked the note. Now I has a sad...

    Samsung Galaxy S8 leaks
