    I HATE gaming on the S20

    Not having any kind of bezel leads to accidental screen presses. Trying to play COD mobile on this thing is a damn nightmare because without a bezel your fingers are touching more of the screen . And in the case of COD mobile, it makes me constantly bring up the HUD due to accidental presses...

    Seems they finally got battery performance optimized

    For a long time battery was an underwhelming performer for Samsung devices because of all the high end stuff that was in flagship, what with WQHD+ resolution screens, extra screen real estate, high definition streaming and so on. Here are some of my most recent screen grabs of battery...

    Is this good battery performance??

    Managed to squeeze this out of my 2 XL yesterday. Not bad for a 3 year old phone going on 4, right?

    Chose to buy a refurb pixel 4 from Amazon

    Might try a 4a. Red some reviews, seems fairly solid and I'll get the stock Android experience with at least updates through android 13. Battery-- which is the key for me seems to hold solid in the reviews I've read. What are your thoughts? I got to thinking with my budget the 4a might be a...

    Chose to buy a refurb pixel 4 from Amazon

    Yeah I have used dark theme on all my devices since they were able to use it and I pretty much never use the always on display function . I wonder how much more it would cost for a 4XL?

    Chose to buy a refurb pixel 4 from Amazon

    I think I will cancel my order now. The battery is just far too much of a weakness in the review videos. After all, what good do features do if you have to stay tethered to a charger all the time? Disappointing.

    Chose to buy a refurb pixel 4 from Amazon

    Ugh yikes, might be tempted to cancel the order then. I remember the s6 being lucky to get 12 hours total and 2.5 hours screen on time. If it isn't much better than that, it might just be a deal breaker for me

    Chose to buy a refurb pixel 4 from Amazon

    After mulling my options, I have decided to order a pixel 4. After getting reaquainted with my pixel 2 XL I decided I really like the at ci android experience enough to go ahead and buy a pixel 4 even though my galaxy s20 us my current daily driver most of the time. I know I'll be dropoing off...

    Show us your S20's home screens.

    Hard to find anything to really match up with the wallpaper from an icon standpoint, but I really like the wallpaper and kept the few that do match on my home screen and assigned the others to my edge screen and left the lesser used apps in the app drawer. Decided to go 100% oneUI with the...

    S20 android 11 battery

    What are you getting from your device after Android 11 update? I'm running mine at FHD+ resolution and standard refresh rate. Screen brightness about 55% This applies to just the plain Jane S20 as it has the smallest battery of the 4 s20 models.

    Bubble notifications not working

    I have it fixed now. I was using. Message+ which is not compatible with chat bubbles. Went to the default Samsung messages app and that one does utilize chat bubbles. Still might take a peak at the Google messenger app to see if there are any differences. Default Samsung messenger does get the...

    S20 + The absolute worst camera ever or am I missing something?

    My s20 has big time focus issues and overexposure when using flash. On a still object it can take 8-10 seconds for it to focus properly. If there is any motion from the object whatsoever, it will not focus at all. Flash washes the images out due to severe overexposure.

    Bubble notifications not working

    I have it enabled after the Android 11 update, however I still am not receiving bubble notifications for text messages or messenger notifications. I have watched a video to try to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'd really like to get this to work since it is more convenient than having to...
