    Anyone dumping the note 8 and switching to the S9plus

    This is precisely where my head is at.

    SG4 Radio issue

    This is a distressing thread as I work in downtown Chicago and live in West Rogers but am about to move to the far northern suburbs (Lake Forest). I have an S4 on Verizon at the moment but in our new area it gets terrible service so I've been reading AT&T forums here for some insight, while...

    Signal issue after update

    Yes, I have had the exact same experience: Lag down and so is my phone's overall radio performance. This update was/is a bummer for me.

    New Note 10.1 coming anytime this year?

    I'm surprised no one picked up on this ^ Is this a "hint" at something in the pipeline?

    Google music always running task

    I followed xgman's suggestion and, so far, so good. To do this mikeccc123, go to: apps/settings/more and click on the "application manager". Once launched, scroll down to Google Play Music and select it. Directly underneath the "force stop" button will be a check-box labeled "show notifications"...

    Should I get DNA now or wait?

    The M7 looks compelling as do the early rumors on the Galaxy S4. Here's what we know: The DNA is the first phone with a stunning 1080 screen, but it won't be the last (or, more appropriately, only). Having said that though, the DNA is excellent and its hand-feel is terrific and that's something...

    Note 2 or DNA?

    I've had the Note 2 for two weeks now and it's taken that long for me to get used to it. Now that I have it feels "right" most of the time. The only occasions when it doesn't feel right, for me at least, are: Taking it out of its hip-holster or whatever pocket I have it in. Just general...

    Galaxy Note 2 vs. Droid DNA-- which Verizon device deserves our money this holiday season?

    LoL! Extra credit for a quality "Aliens" reference :D

    Employee Edition

    This may sound a little odd, but: I really like "using" the Note 2 but I don't like "handling" it at all. If I'm seated, and able to use two hands, the device (Note 2) is fantastic. Getting it out of whatever pocket it was in, or hip-holster? Super awkward. One-handed operation while walking...

    Employee Edition

    Thanks for the replies everyone. That they're sold out is a serious bummer. I'll keep my eyes on eBay though the prices are creeping upward for sure :(

    Employee Edition

    I'm quite happy with my Note 2 but, I keep eyeing the DNA and its inherently more comfortable hand-feel and I can't stop thinking about both the DNA and the fact that I'm within my return "window". I was pretty much resigned to keeping my Note until I saw a picture of the Employee Edition of the...

    How many battery pulls a day?

    I haven't had to do a battery pull yet though I do battery-pulls on my Android device(s) once a week just out of habit. When I use an iDevice I do weekly restarts for the same, preventative-mainteance reasons. Does this help my Note 2? Not sure, but I'm a creature of habit and not likely to...
