    Post Use Note 10 plus Spen with Note 20 ultra

    This may be a bit of a cheat, but when I received my Note 8, I contacted Samsung support because the clicky top was wobbling, I sent them a video to show them and they sent me a warranty replacement. The new one did the same thing, so could have just been the design. Might be worth a try with...

    Thread Watch Designer gwd files

    I'm dipping my toes in very lightly with the Watch Designer and I was just wondering if there was any way to modify Samsung's default watch faces or does anyone have access to the gwd files? I really like the classic face on my Galaxy Watch but would like to add a small picture as a first play...

    Thread Random restarts, how to narrow down cause?

    I've had my Note 8 since launch and have been putting up with random restarts every few days (even happened mid call a couple of times) so I took the plunge and factory reset it a week ago. I purposefully only restored the most essential apps to rule out any of them as the cause. Over the last...

    Post [DISCUSSION] Samsung Galaxy Note 8 UK thread

    I've got a UK Note 8 which I think is the Exynos version. When you open the Member's app, there is a notice about the beta and if you tap on the picture it gives you the option to enrol. Reboot your phone and it should show up.

    Post [DISCUSSION] Samsung Galaxy Note 8 UK thread

    O2 said that they do support the unbranded firmware, they asked me for the CSC code after typing *#1234# into the dialer.

    Post [DISCUSSION] Samsung Galaxy Note 8 UK thread

    Who has managed to get WiFi calling working? I bought my phone direct from Samsung, I've got the WiFi & 4G Calling add on from O2 so it should be set up, but for some reason, I don't have the toggle under any of my settings (phone or network settings). Any ideas?

    Post Wifi calling on unlocked Note 8

    I've got a UK unlocked Note 8 from Samsung that I'm using on O2, I originally spoke to O2, they checked that I had WiFi calling on my account then told me it was Samsung's issue, then Samsung told me O2 needed to sort it out. O2 then got me to reset the network settings but I'm still not...

    Post [Guide+Video] How to run Fallout 1 & 2 on Android with QEMU

    Are these used in addition to the included controls (Cuprum/Helium) or in addition to? Does this remove the need to pay for a control subscription if you are using a BT mouse?

    Post [Guide+Video]How to Play Classic PC Games on Android with Exagear RPG/Strategies

    I've managed to get Red Alert 2 this working on my Note 8 but the sound bug is really annoying. Firstly all noises were the same volume, then the dsound dll files made them sound all choppy as others have mentioned they would. Unfortunately I don't have a computer decent enough to get the...
