Very annoying. I feel iPhones have this handled much better.Yeah. My S10+ seems to be worse in this regard than my. S8+. Sometimes I can't type at all.

So is the S10+ worth upgrading my J7 to? Was thinking a Note but no 3.5mm killed my interest.
Absolutely, but at this point it might be worth it to wait for the S11 since it's probably coming out in like February and even if you don't buy the S11 (it probably won't have a headphone jack either) it'll bring the price of the S10+ even lower.
I don't think I can wait yet because this black friday is offering a really good deal for Sprint which we are thinking of changing to. My parents would get an S10 which would be free for the 2 year contract and the S10+ I'd get for 15 bucks a month.
Oh, in that case, for sure go for it. It'll be an incredible upgrade.
Going from 720p to 1440p, from a SD615 to an 855, tons more RAM and an incredible set of cameras will be mind blowing.
Using an Android phone with 1.5GB of RAM in 2019 must've been painful.
You say 1440p and 720p but it looks like if I get Unlimited Basic, I can only use 480p at Sprint? Or is that just if i'm using Mobile?
Oh, I mean the display resolutions on the phones. The J7 is only 1280*720p while the S10+ is 3040*1440, which is over 4 times more pixels per inch.
Thanks for the heads up. Left as soon as I read it for a Best Buy that showed one in stock. Got there, last one, and got the book cover.For those looking for a good discount on a great older android tablet, this might be worth checking out:
Galaxy Tab S4 has a excellent screen, long battery life, and good performance.
If you mainly use a tablet for web browsing, e-reading, and streaming, I think this is an excellent buy.
I've owned an 8 inch Galaxy Tab S2 in the past, it it was somehow one of the best mobile devices I've ever used... surprisingly because of it's performance
Pixel 3 is $349 new on Amazon right now. Wife is trying to decide between that or I can snag a 3a for $250 (+ $20 activation) on Fi. Wife values head phone jack, battery life, and the polycarbonate construction is a safe bet for her since she smashed the shit out of her S8 this week.
Just wondering if the $100 extra would be worth it for the Pixel 3 to get better performance and water resistance though....
You're better off trying to buy a S8, S9, or S10e.Pixel 3 is $349 new on Amazon right now. Wife is trying to decide between that or I can snag a 3a for $250 (+ $20 activation) on Fi.

Heck, maybe a S8 or S9 Active. They are tough.
I been trying hours to do something about my Samsung TAB A it won't let me move ANY APPS to SD, supposedly some of them should be able to move but there is no option besides formating, no option to use card as internal storage either, nothing.i had a Lenovo that let me use SD for storage and it was cool but i returned it for the Samsung when it had a price cut 🥺
I even tried rooting but it didn't worked only made the tablet slower
Hunting a good tablet has been a nightmare

I found Developer Options and it says theseEnable developer options and debugging
- Open the Settings app.
- (Only on Android 8.0 or higher) Select System.
- Scroll to the bottom and select About phone.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap Build number 7 times.
- Return to the previous screen to find Developer options near the bottom.
Then you can force it to allow you to move apps to SD.
I found Developer Options and it says these
Log outpout level
Show TTS outpout
Node Tree debugging
but idk what they mean
I did that but nothing happens :^( the option is still not there i will try to move them with an app to see if something happens
Nova consumed minimal CPU cycles and battery percentage when I used it last (before A10). What does your battery breakdown show?
I really wish the stock launcher had some way of grouping apps in the app drawer. Tabbed groups are what I miss most from Nova.
Jesus fucking christ Google. I've bought a Nest cam for when I go away, great. So I download the app and set everything up. Then my watch pipes up and says "Hey, wanna install the Nest app here too?" Sure! Takes me to the Play store and installs. I boot it up to see what it can do from my watch:
"The Nest app for Google Wear has been discontinued. Please uninstall"
Just fucking remove it from the store then. You own Nest. You're the same company.
It's Featureware.Got my S10+!
How the hell do I get rid of all this fucking Bloatware?!

Buy some liquid screen protector to replace the oleophobic coating. Not as good as factory, but it does the job.Yeah. My S10+ seems to be worse in this regard than my. S8+. Sometimes I can't type at all.

That's a pretty impressive map coming from a Verizon user. I went with the S10+ as well. After getting one of the first 4G phones when the service was pretty new, I figured I would wait at least a cycle.TMOs 5G just went live an hour ago. Looks like I have full coverage in my area but the new devices won't be selling until Dec 6.
The options are the Oneplus Maclaren and Note 10+ 5G, with the Note 10+ 56 being 1300 or 36/mo for 36 months with a trade-in discount up to 650.
I've been on S10+ since March on the Jump plan. I think it's time to check out the 5G service.

They also have a B1G1 sale on the Note 10 but it requires a $550 security deposit plus tax on both phones for a total of $300 tax on both phones due at time of purchase. Then it's $31 x 24 months.

Last night, I looked up the Pixel XL update and saw that it was no longer going to get security updates after this month. Why even bother giving it Android 10 then if it was only going to be for 3 months?
In a quick panic for last minute Cyber Monday, I ended up buying a Pixel 3a XL w/ protection plan for $500. I'm just not ready yet to spend $1000 on another phone. I know enough about the 3a XL to be excited about the battery life, camera, and the e-sim. Worst case scenario, I can buy a new flagship next fall. 500/9 months is $55, if I buy a new phone next fall. Not too bad. Also, I still have a fucking headphone jack with the 3a!
Anyone else go from the Pixel to the 3A? What's your experience been?
I don't have the best eyes, so I don't mind the lower resolution, especially on a smaller screen such as a phone. I'll take battery life over resolution any day. I'm not a power user as far as playing games or doing anything too intensive with my phone, so I was already still happy with my OG Pixel. It will be interesting if I notice a difference with the 3a. Thanks.Pixel 3a XL should be a hair faster than the OG Pixel, and of course the camera is a lot better. I guess the most noticeable difference at a glance would be the lower screen resolution on the 3aXL.
My mom is interested in a new phone. She really doesn't use it for much other than one game and call/text. The phone she has now is a LG K8, she is happy with it apart from it only has 16gb of storage, and that one game happens to fill up nearly the entire internal storage, causing issues with updates and other things.
So, I'm looking for suggestions on phones that are on the lower-end budget-wise (though she was looking at an LG G8 for ~$400 on amazon), just because she really doesn't need anything fancy. Another thing is she's with US Cellular, and she would prefer to stay with them. She probably would have bought the LG G8 but we aren't sure if USCell. will accept that phone, and they were no help in clearing up that matter.
If ya'll got any advice, it'd be appreciated.

Nokia offers budget phones with solid performance/design and pretty good software support. Not sure how far along US Cellular is with migrating off of CDMA though. Motorola might be the better choice. The Pixel 3a is another option, although you may have to search for a good deal.
Ordered an Orange Pixel 4 XL from Best Buy sunday open box for $657... Got a regular Pixel 4. The best part is, the phone box has a "inspected by Best Buy" seal on it and a Pixel 4 XL price tag on it. Now the XL is sold out everywhere in Orange and the sale is over. Called best buy and they said they have to escalate it to a special team. I'm screwed aren't I? :(
Absolutely.Just an update on this, I don't even care about getting another XL anymore. I just want my money back. Best Buy is blaming me for this and wiped their hands of it after I called them. They sent me an email this morning that they "closed their investigation and that I can not receive a refund of replacement for this order". I went to the store, and I can't return it because they apparently closed off the order. I'm at a loss for words.
So basically, purchased a Pixel 4 XL open box for $700 after tax, received a regular Pixel 4 Open box, can't get my money back because best buy said it's my fault.
Time for a chargeback/dispute I guess?
