I tried the safemode tip, which did give me better performance. (Clearing the cache partition, not a newbie but didn't know there was a separate partition or how to clear it.) So I rebooted, the performance was gone again, mind you just in waking up, so I uninstalled some recently updated apps...

Hello, all! I have a Galaxy S7, Sprint version, running Android 8 and the latest patches. I have noticed in the last week or so my phone is slow to wake. I usually press the Home button, the phone wakes up, I swipe up, enter my code, and move on. Easy peasy. However, lately there has been a...

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll take a look at Lenovo and Huawei.

I am in the market to replace my string of dead Android tabs with something newer. Having stripped my phone of all unessential applications (90) to just the basics, there are times when travelling or just relaxing that I want access to some of those apps. Having killed my 2012 and 2013 Nexus...

I'm looking at various phones with 4GB of RAM right now. Being honest, I probably talked a bit out of my behind bellowing about a need for 6GB, but I'd expect a company like Google to be leading the pack in specs. Or if you were trying to be derisive to me, I'd build one with 8GB given the...

It is. I like the design, for the most part, but I do like how well Android runs with more RAM. And expandable memory is great for backups, file transfers, and not just photo storage. Although, with my current 2019 philosophy, the RAM isn't a problem anymore, as I've stripped my current phone...

No, more like evolution. I've deleted or disabled ninety apps off of my phone. I decided not to be one of the phone drones just looking at their screens at the bar, coffee shop, or whatever. Phone app, messaging app, camera app, maps and Uber, that's about it. So not needing a huge screen for...

Hello, folks. I have been putting up with an annoyance with my Sprint Galaxy S7 for a while, and am finally tired of it. I hope someone can help me here. I have my phone set to Do Not Disturb between midnight and 8am. When 8am arrives, the notifications go off like a pinball machine on...

I'd love to have a Pixel 3 that's the size of an iPhone 4.

I won't be buying any Pixel until Google gets their head out of their behind and includes expandable memory and at least 6GB of RAM

Yes. For what these phones cost, they should be sporting at least 6gb of RAM

1998, Handspring Visor with a Sprint module in the Springboard slot. Although mine wasn't black, it was clear.

I'm considering anything BUT a Note 8 to replace my Note 3. I cannot stand the Edge display. And I'm not crazy about spending the equivalent of decent laptop money on a cell phone. I'm looking at the Mate 10, but also the Essential.
