    Stolen phone

    What you see in tracking details is not always what is printed on the receipt. As I stated, if you hand them the box and they scan it and give you a receipt they do not weight it the package at this time. That is exactly what happened when I turn the box over to the UPS agent. As for tracking...

    Stolen phone

    If you hand them the box and they scan it and give you a receipt they do no weight the package at time of drop off. And dealing with Samsung for years using Fedex or UPS; never had a problem! And with other companies, UPS has been the one to get a package lost. And then UPS paid for it....

    The annual trade-in race

    In all my years of purchasing new phones and earbuds from Samsung's website, I have never had a problem with a trade in, or phone return. I dropped mine off at the UPS store in Prescott Valley and this is the tracking info at this time.... Dropped off at The UPS Store by Customer...

    Who is waiting for the S26 Ultra?

    Nice article. Love this statement, "For the Galaxy S Ultra lineup, the S Pen is not optional. It is part of the identity; removing or downgrading that experience was never seriously on the table."

    Anyone else get this notification?

    Next time it pops up I might try a text. See if it actually works.

    Who is waiting for the S26 Ultra?

    I remember reading the same about the S26U...and we know how those rumors went. Time till tell, they dump the S-pen, I dump Samsung and return to Pixel. Not a big deal either way.

    Anyone else get this notification?

    My S25u had that feature and it used to pop up when I was in an out of service areas. Do not believe it was dependent up on my carrier I use US Mobile; however, when in places out of cell phone service I usually have a sat phone so never tried to send a message. This article can explain to...

    Smart Switch Question

    Thinking back, when I had a paper sim I did it first. But I will say, it was a faster this year. Still a few things had to be set up manually, live voicemail, etc.

    Smart Switch Question

    I did not have the esim transferred until all was transferred to the new phone. When I did the S24u to the S25U last year, I started the esim process switch when it asked for the switch on the sim card, and that was a mistake. So this year, I just waited and all was well. Again, esim, not paper sim.

    Germany seeing high return rates to due screen.

    Using the S26U for two days now,, in dim to bright sunshine, I have found the screen to be a bit better in bright sunshine than my previous S25U and that is with all the same settings. So far, it's a keeper. I'll send the S25U back on Monday.

    Durability and teardown

    Stopped watching his videos years ago, personally, can't stand the guy anymore. I agree with most, glass breaks my first S25U was replaced due to a drop off a two-story roof down to a concrete driveway (better the phone than me). Samsung Care+ replaced it in a week. And they replaced my 512gb...

    S26U review drop from the G.O.A.T. 🍿🧃

    Only watched one of his reviews and then, never again. Actually, stopped watching all reviews of a phone since I'll get it, review it myself and if not liked, return in the 15 day limit. Had the 26U for two days now, and can actually say the cameras as better then my S25U, phone does feel a...

    Regarding "Link to Windows" File Transfer Speeds

    Might not be a discussion since not all have had your problem. I just dumped all photos, documents, music etc., from a S25U to a windows file with no problems and no hesitation. In a week, I'll be reversing the dump from the PC to a S6U; most likely via a USB-C to USB-C cable.
