    Band and Reception Issues with Samsung Galaxy S9

    1. I'm more inclined to think this. 2. I always go to the corporate vs independent retailers and they were the ones who had me replace my SIM card. Glad to have the version differences confirmed so I know I didn't get the wrong phone or something. I'll double check CDMA related settings, but I...

    Band and Reception Issues with Samsung Galaxy S9

    I got an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S9 last November direct from the Samsung website when they were running a Black Friday sale. Overall coming from an HTC 10 the device has been adequate and I didn't notice any problems. However, once I started traveling for work, family, or vacation immediate...

    HTC 10 Performance Lapse with Android 8.0 Oreo

    Over the last couple of days performance has been about 10-15% better. Nothing noteworthy. But I'll take any improvement I can get.

    HTC 10 Performance Lapse with Android 8.0 Oreo

    I have cleared internet and temporary file caches using in built apps. However, I have not tried this T-Mobile variation. What type of cache is this wiping? Is it just clearing something like "cookies"? Or, will I notice settings and customized data will be wiped too?

    HTC 10 Performance Lapse with Android 8.0 Oreo

    I wasn't sure if it was just the age of my phone or other issues going on behind the scenes. However, it seems like after the Android 8.0 Oreo update my HTC 10 has really started to degrade in performance. Battery- while not abysmal- has notably dropped in endurance. I usually have to charge my...

    What's everyone's problem with lack of the 3.5 audio jack?

    Is there still not a strong viable solution for this? My car does not have Bluetooth. It's already bad enough having a charging cable and aux cable. Now I gotta get a dongle with USB C conversions? What's the simplest way to do this?

    Charging + wired headphones

    Resurrecting the conversation a bit, but I'm faced with the same scenario and was wondering if there's alternative options if I don't have a Google device. Some solutions feature a wireless bluetooth dongle for your car, but then I'd end up having to charge that too. It'll probably be a good 10...

    HTC U12+ Reviews Here

    This may be better in a separate thread. However, I'm not sure if the HTC U12+ really requires a tempered glass cover. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 allows it to be pretty much impervious to scratching. It may not be shatter proof (which would require Corning...

    How do you activate Agenda View for Google Calendar?

    The At a Glance Widget is even available for my phone now. Your links and answer helped me learn so much about my Android device. Thank you! My productivity is going to be able to shoot through the roof now! I'll be on my phone all night tonight adjusting my calendars, themes, and launcher.

    How do you activate Agenda View for Google Calendar?

    Perfect, thanks for the information. I'll take a look at this. Hope this isn't something locked out to Google OEM devices.

    How do you activate Agenda View for Google Calendar?

    This was the image that Android Central featured on their home page (Where it says dinner with Alex in 2 minutes). I also saw a similar agenda feature on a Samsung S9+ in a Verizon store when I swiped to the right.

    How do you activate Agenda View for Google Calendar?

    When reviewing newer Android devices such as the Samsung S9+ or Google Pixel 3 (I currently use an HTC 10) I see that many devices have what I call and "Agenda View" for the Google Calendar. It shows upcoming appointments or the next event on your calendar right on your home page. I used to have...

    Where Did You Go After HTC 10?

    Good to know, I don't root. And, I'd probably come back to the community here to best figure out how to customize the phone. Any chance you've had exposure to the Google Pixel series? How would you compare Samsung to the Pixel devices? You do have to compromise. I'm not ecstatic about losing...

    Where Did You Go After HTC 10?

    Yeah I have to charge my HTC 2-3 times a day now. What do you mean by accent colors? Color options in hardware?
