    Xfinity Mobile no trade in suspended

    I went to my local store to ask about trading up to the Note 20 and the process when they become available. I was told but to COVID that the trade in program was suspended. My only option would be to purchase a new phone. Has anyone encountered the no trade in policy elsewhere?

    S7 Edge to Note 9?

    Go with the 9. I had to settle. I went from iPhone to Note 4 and it was a great experience. I stayed with the Note 4 until the Note 7. The Note 7 was worth the wait. Not only was I a pen user but the jump justified the purchase. The the battery issue which I think was very rare but taken to...

    can i mirror my tv to my android celphone? not the other way around.

    You can if your Samsung TV has the feature. It works great. I can watch anything on my Samsung TV from premium channel to PPV on my S7 Edge or Note 9. I can even change channels from the phones. See if your device supports the Samsung Smart Things app.

    Xfinity Mobile pre order Thread

    Go to the Samsung website and register the IMEI number. It will activate as Xfinity. Download and open the Shop Samsung app on the phone. In the app menu there is a message area. Select the offer and the phone will be verified. You can choose the headphones, game or both for $99. If you run...

    Xfinity Mobile pre order Thread

    I ordered mine from Xfinity. 2 actually. AT&T has just gone down hill with everything. Every time I get a new phone it becomes a 72 hour nightmare with AT&T and Best Buy. The Xfinity experience so way too easy. Phones are at my FedEx location waiting for me to pick them up. They arrived 8/21...

    Here are the Major Note 7 Alternatives (sorry, none of them are exactly like the Note 7)

    I had the Note 4. it was a very good phone but the Note 7 was much smoother. No wifi issues and no problems with the apps. I missed the IR blaster for about 7 min. The updated S-Pen more than made up for the IR. The Note 7 edge and Google Tap was also better than the s7 Edge. I went for the s7...

    Thinking about returning my S7 edge.

    S-Notes app works on the s7 Edge and all my Note 4 S-Notes showed up. It works the same but with my finger. I need to find a pen that works on the screen. The size sucks and edge is too sensitive but S-Notes and Pen Up should work. I want a larger phone and a pen I can't easily lose. Plus a...

    Can i get settings from the Note 7 onto my my S7 Edge?

    Just hold the wifi icon down and the list opens up from the drop down menu. The S-Note app works as well but with your finger. I need to find a pen that works on the screen.

    Here are the Major Note 7 Alternatives (sorry, none of them are exactly like the Note 7)

    You are correct. it is not the same as a Note 7 or any other Note. The ability to take notes from the always on screen was a blessing. On the Note 4 I would have to unlock and take extra steps in an Enterprise environment. The Note 7 was so much better. Using the S-Pen is the reason I selected...

    will Note 7 be a Limited Edition few years later?

    So the only way to sell it would be to drain the battery before shipping. Most likely they will end up in an ET landfill.

    Old Information about the Note 7 Recall

    Re: Samsung has canceled the note 7 entirely. Well for those of us who actually use the S-Pen a lot killing the N7 screws up a lot of stored information I can only retrieve from the web. Not the fastest way to get my information. Now I cannot just pull out my phone and take notes. There is no...

    Note 7 Owners club

    There is no replacement for the N7. Without a stylus you just have a phone like everyone else. I used the S-Pen and drawing capabilities of the N7 a lot for work. The Note series has been my only device since leaving the iPhone 4. Chances are there is no Samsung cover up. If there was a cover-up...

    best buy att next

    AT&T will change it. The Best Buy system does not work well with AT&T. I bought two N7s and then the replacements. The first purchases took 3 to 4 hours in the store mainly with AT&T only to find out the killed my bonus data and 35 out of 65 GB I had remaining. The reason is BBY has to delete...

    HELP! I think I got a virus...

    It may have been a browser hijacker. I got one one my N7 v2 on the second day. I did the same a you and the system was clean. I deleted the cache on the Samsung and Google browser apps and the problem was solved. No matter what I did when launching the apps I would get a pop up webpage with an...
