When I pre-registered to pre-order, I got a $50 credit. Then when I pre-ordered I got an additional $150 credit, and I now have $200 credit. Both of those were described in emails from Samsung.

My 10+ unlocked Aura 256G shipped today Aug 19 and FedEx shows they'll deliver Aug 21. That is two days earlier than the Samsung date in the order status. Dallas, TX area.

That's why all phones should have replaceable batteries. I don't want to throw out a phone just because the battery is degraded.

Oh, I was thinking it goes on sale Aug 7, but I see that's just the announce date.

In the past I've seen Samsung offer pre-orders of new phones, usually with some kind of bonus like earbuds or something, and trade-in for old phones. I don't see anything for the Note 10. Any thoughts on why?

I don't have any personal knowledge on this, but the Galileo website says it started offering "Initial Services" in December 2016. https://www.gsa.europa.eu/newsroom/news/galileo-goes-live Garmin's latest GPS watches, the F5 plus series, is using Galileo, and I've seen posts reporting it's...

It's LG-H910. AT&T. I looked through the Developer settings and didn't see anything related to dpi, but thanks for the suggestion.

No, not rooted. I did enable developer mode recently, but I'm not sure if that was before or after the problem started. Turning off developer mode didn't help.

There is a display setting for "Display Size" with a slider. It's not labeled, but there are 3 settings, small, medium, and large. It changes the size of the icons and icon text. I've had it set at large for a long time, but a few days ago the icons and icon text got smaller. The slider is...

I registered and got an email Sept 29 saying it was approved, and they'd send another email with a link to purchase the Note 8. I never got a 2nd email so I called them today and spent 20 minutes talking with people who didn't know what to do, so it got "escalated". Anyone else run into...

Thanks for the app suggestions. I tried a couple OTG readers with no success. Stickmount sounds promising, but it requires root, so I can't try it just yet.

Thanks for your suggestion. The storage screen shows internal memory and an SD card, but not the USB stick. I posted this same question a year ago about the V20, and didn't get much feedback then, either. Maybe it's not common for people to use a USB stick with their phone.

I'll give a 3rd vote for the Spigen Rugged Armor. I had it on my V20 also and never had a problem. ---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ---------- That might mean they only *performed* 14 of the MIL-STD-810 tests. A lot of them are not relevant, like...

I have used a USB stick with many different Samsung phones, and when the USB stick is inserted, a window pops up on the phone, and you can transfer files back and forth. My friend's V10 works this way. But on my V20, and now V30, there is no response at all to inserting a USB stick. If I...

I looked at the display unit at an AT&T store, and couldn't see any banding or uneven brightness on it with low backlight levels. Couldn't do anything about the ambient light. I bought one, and I don't see any of that at any brightness level or ambient light. There's definitely a blue tint...
