I know there are several threads and old blog posts from previous years about the same topic but most of the apps are completely outdated and/or no longer working. I used to use Vidmate to download youtube videos but after I switched to Note 10+ for some reason is not working, I just no longer...

With the app "device infor HW" and unter general -> touchscreen somewhere in the line says "LG" or BOE"

Hey guys, I wanted to create a thread for all to share some tips and little tricks we've found to make the overall experience better, so here's what I've found, most of them you have to be using EMUI launcher (I gave up Nova so I can use native gestures): 1. To unlock when you use fingerprint...

Some are not really bugs but here are my issues with the phone in the first 12 hours Gestures and raise to wake do not work as expected and are unreliable On this party apps, if I use the action "switch to previous app" sometimes it opens the app "flashlight" and turn on the LED (which I...

Yes that is correct, they don't charge VAT if you have it shipped to the US. I wouldn't say "only $1000" though, I was hesitant to pull the trigger on this since the phone will have a resale value in the US of like $600 in 4-5 months when the S10 comes out. I do think I'm picking up an S10 if...

Another question, does raise to wake work okay? According to reviewer on phonearena, it does have the setting but it does not work most of the time unless you do a very aggressive unnatural movement, unlike with the iPhone that does work every time you pick up the phone. Could it be similar of...

Great! I always miss this when jump back to Samsung and delete pictures by mistake while cleaning my gallery. I know the app "dumpster" exists but it uses way too much battery

Thank you! Another question I forgot about software, does the EMUI gallery app has "unde delete" and recycle bin by any chance

If you have time to read it, I created a similar thread at XDA, there are two websites that will ship to the US and won't charge VAT (tax), you'll need an adapter for the charger and you can try a mail forwarding service for the free watch and wireless charger. Only options are black and...

how's the screen in your opinion compared to iPhone X? how is max brightness? have you tried max sound with bluetooth headphones? When you place the phone with screen off, on a wireless charger, does the screen turns on for about 15 seconds? It's annoying on samsung phones. Can the battery icon...

it's .1 inch smaller so 2.54 mm but as bassplayrguy said the notch will make it a lot smaller specially when playing videos since they measure the screen diagonally assuming a recrangle (ignoring notch and round corners)

I'm not that paranoid, I've used google maps for ~6 hours trips without issues but I wouldn't display a static image with full brightness for more that 10 hours because of burn in concern

yeah that's pretty bad, always happens with my samsung phones, Note 8 and S9+ both started with 6 hours SOT and after a few weeks I was only getting like 4.30 SOT max. I love samsung features and I LOVE the screens they put in their flagships but the fact that my oneplus 6 ($500 phone) was...

yeah samsung browswr beta is the best

I can't switch to iOS because there's a lot of thing I wouldn't be able to do like download youtube videos, use YouTube vanced, split screen, emulators, etc. But not gonna lie, I'm jealous that iPhone XS max has better battery life with 3174 mah than the Note 9 with 4000 mah and also that does...
