    Loud screech/static randomly

    I've had my V30 since the first week they were released. It's a software issue, not a hardware issue since it also does it over Bluetooth connected speakers, so a replacement wouldn't fix anything. I'm not sure it's even specific to V30's. I can easily see it blowing out the phone's speakers or...

    Loud screech/static randomly

    Yeah it really scares the crap out of you it's so random and loud. It's like the phone thinks I'm living in a bad horror movie and takes it upon itself to give me a cheap jump scare. If others have experienced it, they'd know it, as it's not subtle. I'll try disabling Chrome to see if it works...

    Shadow On/In Camera

    I thought I had that issue with my phone. Turns out my house was just haunted.

    Loud screech/static randomly

    Anyone else get random full volume screeches/static pops when using the phone? It only seems to happen if I am or recently was using a video or audio app like YouTube or a news stream. It's just a sudden extremely loud, but short burst that scares the crap out of you. It happens through the...

    Reddish white on screen? Weak camera?

    No, not red at all. None of the other issues reported by a few either.

    No equalizer in Google Play Music on V30?

    Had a Nexus 6 before my V30 and it had (last I checked anyway) an equalizer in the Play Music app. I went to adjust it on my V30 and the equalizer setting is missing completely. Was this a nexus only feature or something? Seems odd it would be missing. Anybody have it available on their V30?

    Teamviewer can't write to SD card on V30

    I'm coming from 3 years with a Nexus 6 so haven't had to do anything with SD cards on Android in a while. I've been transferring audiobooks to my phones from my pc using TeamViewer for years. Now that I have a V30 I'm using an SD card to store my audiobooks. Other apps can read/write to the sd...

    No sim kit charge anymore?

    Just got a new S8+ through t-mobile.com to replace a buggy Note 4. Opened the box and when I saw the sim card realized that I wasn't charged $25 for their bull SIM starter kit, and it wasn't mentioned anywhere when I made the purchase. Will this just show up later as a surprise charge? Already...

    Still cover phone sales tax?

    Are they still doing the prepaid mastercard promo that is supposed to cover taxes when you buy a new phone?

    Is there a reason to get a 128 GB? How does photo storage work?

    So do you only get unlimited storage for pics/videos uploaded from a pixel, or does it apply to any source or file type as long as you own a pixel?

    Will Samsung extend Netflix and other offers?

    Because of the battery issue I waited to buy a Note 7 since nothing better seems to be coming. I was especially interested because of the Netflix and sd card etc. offers they had. Anybody know if they'll extend those once they're available to buy again?

    Any current gen 6"+ phones for US?

    Yeah definitely need band 12. No point in going backwards from my Nexus 6 so definitely need a newish phone with higher end specs. I keep reading about all these Asian released models with 6-7" screens and they never make it to the US. Hard to keep track of them all and what's what. I...

    Any current gen 6"+ phones for US?

    Edited because I replied to your original comment before you edited yours. App is being laggy. The Xperia xa ultra is a little too dated or mid-range I think. Seems geared toward teens who take selfies constantly.

    Any current gen 6"+ phones for US?

    That's cool and everything, but doesn't let you filter by screen size or have upcoming devices.
