I seem to remember on my S5 being able to connect to another S5 and essentially being able to share my screen with that person. IE I could pull up my gallery and flip through photos to show the other person without having to have us both crowd around the same screen. If I am remembering...

In the morning I want to take my phone off the charger and throw it in my back pocket and go to work, except every time I unplug it or remove it from the charger the screen comes on and the iris scanner turns on like I want to use the phone. Is there a way to stop this behavior and have the...

Apparently it works at Lowe's if you let the 15 second timer run out and try again, the 2nd attempt will work.

I have this charger that I bought back when I in 2016 when I got the Note 7 and then continued using it for almost 2 years with the S7 Edge. It's always worked well. However, I've been using it so far with my Note 9 with mixed results. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to get it in the right...

Yeah mine was off by default too, just curious why it didn't come on.

Why wouldn't it be on by default? Does it make a big battery hit when enabled?

Do you guys use the built in gallery app, or Google Photos?

With a new phone I want to try and start being more organized with my photos. It's annoying to be showing someone pictures and then have random or work pictures mixed in while you're swiping through. I'd say I take 3 main categories of photos. 1 Personal (family, landscapes, etc), 2 Work...

I did it with the Note 9 cause I was arguing to the rep that I didn't need another line and they asked if I had any kids. The BOGO Note 9 gets the new line and the watch gets the former secondary line, but once you receive the devices you just call verizon and they'll swap the lines for you so...

ok so it needs the Bixby Voice package left on to work, but when leaving that one on you get the flash of Bixby when trying to use the new button. Is there a way to completely reset Bixby like I never opened it to begin with?

lol ok I just opened up Package Disabler Pro and searched for Bixby and turned it all off. Not the Bixby button does nothing. I guess that's better then turning on Bixby, but I liked the idea of remapping the button. Is there a certain package(s) I should have left on?

Is Samsung Pay generally better regarded than Android Pay? I understand the magnetic strip emulation vs NFC differences, and the fact you can use it more places right now. I also like how integrated it is with the phone. I tried to use mobile payments regularly when I got my last phone (S7E)...

Could also add one of these. They count towards an "add-a-line" and only $5 a month instead of $20. We bought one for our 6 year old to qualify for the BOGO, but even if it sits in a drawer for 2 years we're still paying less then we would have without the BOGO.

Hopefully just apps and not system updates though?

I put mine on last night. Learned a couple things, like make sure you're working on a level surface :P. Once I applied the adhesive I realized the table was on a tilt so I had to hold the frame up at an angle to keep the adhesive from running off the side of the phone. I also had a couple air...
