Got my Note 8 last Friday and really like it. However, I am noticing that when my screen is off, WiFI is disconnecting. And when I turn the screen back on and unlock the phone, I notice that it takes several seconds to reconnect to my WiFI network. Now I have checked the WiFI settings and...

There are quite a few threads about this issue on the Google Photos product forums. I solved my issue for now by doing the following: 1) Backed up my photos to my computer. 2) Deleted the duplicate photos from the web version of Google Photos (yes, mine were duplicated on the web too). 3)...

Yes, the duplicates were on the Web too. I didn't move the photos, they were all taken on the sd card. I went in and manually removed the duplicates. Then I deleted all photos off of my phone using the gallery app. I have taken a few new photos and it doesn't seem to be doing it now. Not...

I just recently got my AT&T S7 Edge and went on a trip over the weekend. Took over 200 photos, and almost all of them are duplicated in the Google Photos app and when I log into Google Photos on the web. All of the details if I click on the information icon are the same. The only photos that...

I upgraded mine but haven't found any differences. We already had the Stage Fright fix from day one, right? So it shouldn't be that. Maybe just some other security update? I hate it when there's an update without a change log.

Did not want a stylus. Love the look of the Edge screen. That's it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

By the way, does anyone know if the upcoming Gear S2 smartwatch will have the MST (Magnetic Stripe Transmission) technology in it for Samsung Pay? I thought I read somewhere that the watch will just use NFC, which would be a bit disappointing since the phone has MST. I was leaning towards...

Yes, and that's a huge advantage. Despite more and more merchants adding NFC terminals, the vast majority still only have magnetic stripe readers. With a payment service like Apple Pay, the terminal MUST support NFC, so you are pretty limited to a small subset of merchants. Samsung Pay works...

Yes, that is correct. As long as I'm using the Samsung phone, I'll use Samsung Pay over Android Pay for the reason outlined above. Samsung bought the company that invented the payment method that is compatible with the magnetic stripe reader, not just NFC like Apple Pay and Android Pay...

So I've been in the beta for over a week now, but I've only had a few chances to use Samsung Pay. Where I've used it, it's worked great. But to be honest, being able to use it at magnetic stripe readers isn't really that more beneficial than when I had Apple Pay on my iPhone. Why is that...

The video limitations are probably the ONLY complaint I have about the camera on my Edge+. Sure, there's 4K video but then you miss out on HDR, stabilization / tracking, and the ability to take photos during video. Those are some pretty steep limitations, especially the stabilization. On the...

I got an email update from my order with Amazon and it says delivery between September 30 and November 10. Wow, thanks for narrowing it down Amazon! Guess Samsung is fulfilling other markets before ours like usual. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

So far, my Edge+ is fast charging just fine with the included charger and with a cheap fast charger I bought for my car. I have a wireless fast charger on order, so we'll see how that works when it arrives.

I used Samsung Pay for the second time Sunday evening at our local Olive Garden. They recently starting putting electronic kiosks on the tables for customers to order food and drinks, as well as paying for their check. Since there's a magnetic card reader there to pay with a credit card, I...

I noticed Amazon is no longer a seller of this fast charger (maybe they got too many preorders or something). It's still listed by a 3rd party seller, but not by Amazon.com directly. My order does not have a shipping date now, so it looks like that 8/31 release date may have indeed been a...
