Got it - thanks!!!

I'm using the Samsung email app and wasn't having any problems with notifications waking up the lock screen. All of a sudden, whenever I get an email the lock screen wakes up, which is particularly annoying at night. I went into the Notifications (Lock Screen) settings and turned notifications...

After looking at the S20 series, I couldn't justify the cost and went with the S10+. I'm coming from an S7 edge, so it will still be a substantial step up for me at a much lower price than the S20. The bigger battery was a major factor in deciding on the S10+. Phone arrives tomorrow!

So after some research and reflection I'm going to go with the S10+. It will give me more bang for my back and I can wait for the 5G market to mature. Thanks for all the feedback!

I can't think of a worse environment to be launching a luxury consumer good, and initial sales at this point have reportedly been substantially below the S10. How soon might we see price drops or incentives if, for whatever reason, sales continue to do comparatively poorly? I'm, uh, asking for a...

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm leaning towards upgrading and getting the S20+, but perhaps delaying until there are some price decreases. Since sales are reportedly lower than the S10, I'm wondering if that will be sooner than later.

So, I'm on Verizon and my S7 Edge has served me extremely well for the past 4 years. Hard to believe it's been that long. It's only a little laggy at times and still ends the day with about 40% battery, as I'm not a heavy user. I could do just fine with it for another year, but I've been...

Well this is getting pretty annoying. Chrome notifications are turned off. I just went to open my phone to read a text and up pops Chrome and redirects to that same website. I ran Zemana and the phone appears to be clean. :(

Thanks! It's just very odd, as I've NEVER been to this particular website. We'll see if it keeps popping up again while I'm sleeping tonight. It overrides my night clock until I close it down again.

Did not think of clearing notifications for Chrome, which I've now done. However, isn't that kind of a band-aid fix (assuming it works)? Something is causing to open on its own and go to a specific website. Seems damned suspicious! Thanks for your replies!

Still happening, unfortunately. The website is sport-news.icu and it most frequently pops up when I unlock the phone. It also pops up several times overnight when I'm running my night clock. Just to be clear, Chrome opens up on its own and goes to the website.

Thanks! Will report back if it doesn't work.

My S7 Edge is still getting great mileage and everything has been working fine. Have not installed any news apps in a while. Yesterday I received the prompt to install System Update 30 from Verizon, and immediately started getting weird behavior from Chrome. It will randomly open up and go to...

Are there any alternatives to the S pen that are a little thicker and easier to use for lengthy note-taking? I picked up a Tab S3 to take notes for research interviews I'll be doing during a 3-week assignment. The S Pen isn't bad, but a slightly thicker pen would be a little easier to use. The...

Okay, so this thread pointed me in the right direction, as I was using Nova with a Screen Off app linked to double tap. My solution was simply to change Nova double tap to its own screen lock, selecting the option to turn the screen dark and delay the screen lock to make it compatible with...
