Chip foundries have come a long way, and the biggest challenge seems to be shaking off a bad reputation. Mediatek, for example, has long been regarded as making budget processors for budget devices. Their new Dimensity 9500 processors, however, can hold their own against Snapdragon and Exynos...

I hope you all are ready for a reasonably pleasant (but politically nondescript) Winter Solsti-Christma-Kwanz-Ukkah! I think that covers everything... :) Two things: (1) I always start my Christmas shopping on December 26th and, as I see things throughout the year, I buy and stash them. By the...

This article is a great summary of the entities keeping track of everything we do on our phones & computers; and the best way to minimize our (free) contributions to their (not free) consumer profiles. If you don't subscribe to Cynthia Mackley's Tech Tips newsletter, I highly recommend that you...

Okay, I'll start one... With roughly three months to go before release of Samsung's Next Big Thing, many of us are looking for information about the upcoming S25 series. Here's some information to get started: https://www.sammyfans.com/2024/10/18/samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra-latest-leaks/ From...

Or is it just mine? I'm on the latest Verizon stock firmware. Unrooted. No weird apps or anything that wasn't on my Moto X Pure. But this phone is senile or something! I'll tap something, and the phone does NOTHING. I tap it again and it does something else. It's infuriating! EXAMPLE: I'm on...

Okay, I snagged a Note 4 off Craigslist - great deal! So I'm setting up the Note 4 and I get to the point where I can hold the phone up to my current phone, which is a Moto X Pure, connect by NFC and transfer stuff over. Great! Problem is, every time I do it, the Moto X Pure starts to connect...

Okay folks, maybe my feeble mind is overlooking something, so I thank you in advance for enlightening me. I try to send an email to people in my contacts, and Google will not autofill or suggest anything. I have to literally type out each address on every email I send... and I'm frankly growing...

Okay folks, I know this article references what Samsung is calling "isolated incidents" in South Korea: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/samsung-galaxy-note-7-replacement-batteries-are-also-overheating-2016-09-23?link=MW_latest_news But I'm in America, and something is wrong with this phone...

WOW - my sister-in-law is using our old 2013 Moto X spare, and it's performed admirably until just hours ago. According to her, it happened suddenly and without any input from her... no new app installed and nothing downloaded. I can power down the phone, and then power it up and it comes to...

Well, here you go: http://phandroid.com/2016/09/16/samsung-galaxy-note-7-apology/

Okay folks, this article just hit and hopefully the labeling will be global: http://bgr.com/2016/09/09/galaxy-note-7-recall-replacements/ So there will be a sticker with a black square on it, and perhaps a second sticker with an "S" on it.

Anyone else here experiencing Bluetooth issues? Maybe it's just me, but I have a Jabra Revo Wireless stereo headset paired with the Note 7. Almost every time I pause my music, hang up a call, or otherwise suspend an activity with the headset, it disconnects and reconnects to the phone...

Here's a great way to customize your lockscreen! Go to Galaxy Apps in your app drawer and search for Good Lock. Install or update. The phone will reboot and DONE! https://news.samsung.com/global/good-lock-customize-the-way-you-use-your-galaxy-smartphone :)

Well, we had to have SOME place around here to discuss it! :) Anyway, I just got a shipping notification from Samsung... my Gear VR is on the way, and my Gear 360 is on the way from Amazon. I look forward to testing out the VR capabilities of the Note 7!

Okay, I've hit yet ANOTHER speedbump on the road to Note 7 nirvana. This time, it's disabling bloatware. I was under the impression that we could go to Settings and disable any app that we couldn't uninstall. However, every time I select "Disable" on a bloatware app, I get: "Do you want to...

Okay guys, I know some of you have the Note 7 already. Put it down, quit playing with it and let us know what you think about it! :D

While I may not agree with all of these points, I agree with enough of them to recommend this article: http://phandroid.com/2016/08/18/galaxy-note-7-first-things-to-do/ I wonder if I'll get any sleep tonight, knowing that I'll have my Note 7 (I'm going to name her Jeanette) in hand at 9 AM! :p :D

Oh... this was really painful to watch: So don't drop your phone! :D

What's the best place to sell my Note 4? It isn't a regular, off-the-shelf Note 4... it's a Developer Edition on Verizon, purchased directly from Samsung. That means it comes with an unencrypted bootloader, making it easy to root & ROM... in fact, it's rooted and currently running the Definitive...

Here's something I found... it's on lightning deal right now! Wireless charging stand for $16! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E1EIC4Q/ref=gbps_img_s-3_5402_fee8d3ee?smid=A3DX1XFOZIMJWC&pf_rd_p=2558495402&pf_rd_s=slot-3&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=gb_main&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=B10D3YY7Z09F5B6505AV

Starting at 11 AM Eastern (3 PM GMT) on TUESDAY! Livestream here: http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/events/unpacked/ :D

With the Note7 less than three weeks out, I thought it would be fun to take a moment to look in the rear view mirror and see how far we've come. This is a great article on the revolutionary Note series, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did...

WARNING! If you don't want to see the Note 7 yet, don't look!

I'm not. Reduced specs for a reduced price. I don't know about you folks, but I've been saving my pennies and I'm ready to buy the real deal!
