    Xfinity Mobile data questions.

    I switched us over to Xfinity 8 months ago. We'd been on Sprint which we'd had no issues with until we moved to a rural area. We stuck with them, but when things changed and they were merging, I decided I wanted better coverage than we'd had because it was severely lacking here, so looked...

    Safe to buy from SWAPPA?

    I've purchased 5 phones now from sellers on Swappa and every purchase has gone smoothly and the phones have been exactly as advertised. My last purchase was a Note 9 and an S9Plus, both factory unlocked because we switched to Xfinity mobile. They've been absolutely great, no problems at all...

    I need an app to block my coworkers' numbers

    While B. Diddy is correct in how it works, I've used it since it first became available. My 'favorites' are the only calls or notifications allowed through and those favorites are my immediate family in case of emergency. I want a good night's sleep at night and I don't want to be bothered with...

    I need an app to block my coworkers' numbers

    What kind of phone do you have? Have you tried the Do Not Disturb option in the phone itself? I use it and it's a godsend. It turns on automatically at 9 and off at 7 every day. The only calls/texts allowed through are from the numbers I've marked as 'favorites'. You can set the schedule for...

    With rumored S-Pen support on the S21U, is this the last Note model??

    I will never own a 'fold'. I would be the person who cracks the screen on the fold or damages it some other way. I have a Note 9. I'll keep it until it dies and then probably replace it with the Note 10 if that's the last one. After that, I'm not sure what I'll do, but I'd seriously consider...

    Bixby yes or no?

    I agree with this! Nova Launcher effectively hides Bixby, but it would occasionally open anyway. PD eliminated the problem entirely.

    Best Camera App?

    That's my '08 Roush. Hubs has a '69 Chevelle so I thought it would be fair that I have something. ;)

    Best Camera App?

    I lied. Now the page changed and I can reply again so thanks for your answers.

    Best Camera App?

    Is there a better camera app than the built in Samsung app? I have a Note 9 and the Samsung app that's loaded with their other stuff just doesn't cut it for me. I took a beautiful picture of the morning sun yesterday, it was bright red, but looking at the picture, the sun is a pale yellow/orange...

    Why is it so difficult to set up a new Android device.

    I'm not in a face mask and gloves anymore, but the On-body has never, ever worked for me! Ever. Smart Lock as a whole is the biggest annoyance I've had with Android. And I can override most everything now since I bought a factory unlocked Note 9 a couple months before the 10 came out. Nova...

    Why is it so difficult to set up a new Android device.

    I never have had a problem setting up my Notes. Between backing up and using Nova Launcher, almost everything transfers from one phone to the next with little changes. But annoying? I hate Smart Lock! I can set it up and walk around the corner in my house and it quits working. It works two rooms...

    Note 9 users what is your next phone upgrade plan

    I have the 8/512 as well, though the unlocked version. I'll keep it until it's absolutely dead. I love it, it's working great, I can't afford $1000 every year or two and frankly, I don't like the 'no buttons' thing. I have a wish list for someday when I replace this one, but right now, I don't...

    RCS after all from Google effective immediately

    I'm on Sprint with a factory unlocked Note 9 and it's working fine. I think. I have no one to text with that also uses it so I can tell if it's working or not. But it installed fine and is showing as enabled.

    RCS after all from Google effective immediately

    Nope. Nothing. Everything is dark except Gmail. Haven't got a clue why.

    RCS after all from Google effective immediately

    Yes. When I tap on my account pic in Gmail, it goes to the account info and it's in dark mode. But the Gmail interface is so. much. white! And there's no way to force it short of rooting right now and I don't want to root my phone for that. My tablet is rooted, but I don't use it much and...
