    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...

    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

    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?
