Samsung Galaxy S8....I really goofed. I was trying to restore messages blocked from a certain number. I followed all directions, starting with settings. I found the name and the blocked messages, which were represented by little white boxes which needed to be opened. I realized I must have...
Hi, I am a recent transfer from an iPhone and on it I had a app that took your audiobook disks one at a time and converted the files to iPhone type files and you could listen to a book and stop then start from where you left off.
I have been trying to do this with my S8 and cannot get it to...
After checking around to make sure Samsung Galaxy S8 can be rooted on Pie, I bought a model SM-G950U phone, but discovered to my dismay that the bootloader on U.S. versions with Snapdragon processors is not unlockable (there is no "OEM unlocking" setting in Developer Options, and none of the...
Hi everyone, last night two of my devices (Samsung Galaxy S8 and an S9) during the night have completely reset with a hard reset losing all that was on it. I wonder if this anomaly is an android bug? I think it's a serious thing that a device resets itself without user intervention. Is there an...
Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone with a Galaxy S8 / S8+ who finds themselves short on time and needs to charge their device as quickly as possible: Fast Charging doesn't work when the screen is on.
This has actually been the case since the Galaxy S6, so it's not really anything new. The...

The Spigen Slim Armor case for the Galaxy S8 is a rugged case offering some of the highest drop protection you can find. It has a dual layer design with a hard outer shell that's more for looks than anything. The most interesting part is the kickstand. It's rather flimsy, but still gets the job...

The Spigen Thin Fit case is one of the thinnest cases you can buy for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ you can buy. Although it comes in a variety of colors to perfectly match the Galaxy S8, only the black model features a non slip soft touch finish (SF Coated non slip). It's a smooth rubbery finish that...
Speck's Presidio case is essentially the more minimal version of their Presidio Grip case. That's to say the case features only the hard outer shell, minus the rubber ridges of the Grip. This makes it slightly more slippery, but there's plenty of protection the case offers.
The inner frame of...
Speck has long made a name for themselves by offering high quality, durable, and uniquely designed cases for countless mobile devices. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ is no exception, with the Speck's Presidio Grip cases being some of the best money can buy.
They're a little higher priced than most...
I have to admit, I was super impressed with the Caseology Legion case for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ Plus. It's more of a heavy duty case, but doesn't feel as bulky as say an Otterbox or other rugged cases.
It was more or less the attention to detail of the Legion case that wowed me. It's...

The VRS Design Simpli Mod case for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ is a snap-on hard shell case that features a unique leather back. This gives the case it's own distinct look thanks to the soft textured leather and stitching.

The VRS Design Crystal Bumper case for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ is a clear TPU case that provides equal parts style and protection. Because it's clear, the natural color of your device still shines through and the plastic accents that around the outer frame add a little splash of color to your...

Incipio's DualPro case for the Galaxy S8 features a 2-layer system with a hard plastic outer shell and a shock absorbing TPU inner lining. Although the shell can be detached from the inner layer, it's not really designed for that and will make the device uncomfortable to hold.
Incipio says the...

The entire case is coated in a silky, soft touch finish providing nice grip with fully covered buttons and exposed ports. A...
Avoid static UI elements when possible
I know this is obvious, but the easiest way to avoid burn-in on your device is to avoid displaying static images when possible. Of course, the most severe burn-in is caused by the navigation buttons at the bottom of your device and the static icons in the...
