    when should i try the N7 ?

    I have olde iPhone 4s and was looking forward to upgrade to the N7 but then the issues, so annoyed.

    Help Gmail is not syncing contacts on my Note 7

    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...

    Wifi in Note 7 - Slow?

    I have tested my Note 7 against my Note 4 (I still have both due to the recall) and the Note 4 outperforms the Note 7 every time. On the same network, using 802.11ac access points (both Wave 1 and Wave 2), the Note 7 routinely gets a about 120 mb/s on Ookla, and the Note 4 generally pegs out...

    Battery Indicator Icon

    Just thought I'd share that even when the battery drains, it still shows a green enough tint that kinda plays a mind trick on you. I went to bed last night and forgot to put my phone on the charger. This morning, I woke up to 8% and I just thought it was funny that the battery looks full...

    Any "Thank You" from Samsung

    After returning my old N7 I am getting a new one tomorrow. For anyone who have received their new Note 7 was there any kind of discount for new equipment such as 10% off for a Gear S3?

    Help Search

    I hate to feel like a damnable newb, but how does one freaking search a forum? I don't want to search the entire site or have to filter down to every last detail with an advanced search. I just want to search within a specific forum... such as this one.

    The Unlocked Note 7 for All Carriers - SM-N930U

    I'm really happy I decided not to go into a T-Mobile store, to pick up my replacement Note 7 and have opted to wait for either a price drop or model SM-N930U to be available for sale! Samsung didn't make any mention of it (just like they didn't mention for the S7 or S7 Edge before making it...

    Getting less impressed with Samsung exchange now...

    But the Carphone Warehouse haven't helped either!! If you phone them to find out what's happening, you get a recorded message saying 'don't bother to hold on, we will contact you, and replacements start from the 19th of September' so I took them at their word and waited... until today. I bought...

    New OTA update from Verizon just appeared!

    I just did a check on my Verizon Note 7 and there's an OTA Android update available. It makes absolutely no mention of the 60% battery charging cap. It says the update is to turn your battery icon green if you have a safe battery, and leave it white with a note about the recall if you don't...
