Hi everyone. I used to be active on this site with questions and answers on my Samsung Note 2, 3, 4. Then I went M.I.A. for awhile. But I just logged in again and now have a Samsung S9 via Verizon. Got it on sale at Best Buy for $449. Didn't feel like paying a grand for the S10, but maybe next time.
I had not upgraded to a new phone in over a few years, and my previous phone was near death and getting very slow and laggy. So my (new to me) S9 seems super quick and responsive. Makes me smile to use it!
I'm not happy having to buy a bunch of new Micro USB-C charging cords for my S9, as I previously had many, many, MANY of the old charging cords that no longer fit the new Samsung phones.
Also, I got a Tech 21 protective case for the S9 which I like. I don't have any screen protector, should I get one? My previous tempered glass screen protector ended up having many cracks on it from dropping onto the ground.
Also got a Mophie wireless portable battery charger, which is pretty cool for taking advantage of the new QI wireless charging capability.
When I turn on Mobile Hotspot, my older Sony Vaio Windows 7 laptop seems to have a slow connection to the internet. I have Verizon. Is this normal?
I had to do not one but two complete factory hard resets when I first got the phone due to downloading some apps that had extremely intrusive adware that kept popping up and taking over the lock screen. A video for drinking Bud Light beer kept popping up out of nowhere constantly. I'm not positive, but I think it may have been some free radio apps that I installed that caused the adware problem.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi to everyone on this board.
Cheers!
