I ordered two Pixel 3's through Project Fi. I ordered in the afternoon on the first day for pre-orders, which I think was 10/9. My ship date is not until Dec. 5th! What's up with that? Anyone else seeing these take so long?

Audio Pausing/Un-Pausing Randomly I thought I posted this previously, but I can't find my thread. I am not sure if I forgot to hit "Submit" or if the moderators took it down? I am going to try again. I love my S6 but I have one problem. The audio randomly pauses or un-pauses. At first I...

I have been using Swype. My fingers can't get the Samsung keyboard to cooperate. I will be trying Swiftkey after reading this post.

If I can charge once a day with medium use I call that good. I was charging twice a day until a Samsung rep told me to change my Mobile Network Mode from Global, to LTE/CDMA for Verizon (or LTE/GSM for ATT and the like). Global setting means the phone is always looking for multiple signals when...

I have had to fuss with connecting BT a few times... not pairing but connecting a device on BT that was previously paired, which is what I think you mean. I have also rebooted the phone and rebooted the car. I have a Volt and it literally boots like a computer. I eventually get it to connect...

Audio Pausing/Un-Pausing Randomly I have a Verizon S6. I use Blue Tooth Audio with 3 different devices, my car, a Monster speaker and Arctic head phones. I listen mostly to Audible Audio Books but I also listen to Pandora and my own music with the default music player. With all 3 audio apps...

You know on any screen, how you can swipe down from the top status bar and get options? When you do that, there used to be a gear icon for settings and a 4 square-grid for more options. on my S6 you still get the gear for setting but next to that is a pencil icon, where the 4-square grid icon...

Oh yes, GSM, sorry.

Note: if you have ATT it would be the GMS setting that you would want, not the CDMA.

I was about to turn in my Verizon S6 also and I called and talked to a Verizon/Samsung expert (at any place that sells the phone) and got a lot of tips. The BIGGEST thing is that my phone was factory set to Global network mode which makes it thrash inside the USA looking for the other types of...

So when I got my S6 at BestBuy, on the day it released, the Verizon/Samsung expert was understandably swamped. I didn't want to wait and I thought I could "do it myself" so the salesman set me up and let me go home to poke around and try to figure it out alone. When I finally called BestBuy they...

One more comment on the battery drain. Got my S6 at BestBuy on the day it released and the salesman set me up because the Verizon/Samsung expert was swamped. I thought I could figure out my settings myself, I was wrong. All my setting were foobar. Battery was only lasting half a day in standby...

I have a Verizon S6 and I use BT with an awesome Monster Speaker, Arctic headphones and in my Volt. All 3 experience random BT dropping that has nothing to do with distance from the device. The phone, sitting in the middle of the car playing an audio book and it just randomly pauses, usually at...

Spigen Thin Armor. Feels good, nice and thin, love the styling and the kick stand.

OMG! I am one of THOSE users. *face palm* Just talked to a tech rep on the phone. My settings were messed up. The Icons have changed and are in a different place than I am used to looking. My phone works GREAT now and my battery issues should be better too. I am so sorry! This is my 3rd...
