    Thread S-Pen nib, how long will it last?

    I notice that there are no spare nibs in the box. My previous umpteen Note smartphones have all come with some spare nibs and a removal tool but none came with the Tab S7. The irony is that I intend to use the pen much more with my tablet than I ever did/do with the phones... How long should...

    Thread Note 10 Plus 5G scrolling issues

    Hi folks. Love the phone but when I'm scrolling down a weboage or Tumblr my phone will suddenly scroll a long way, or scroll back up the page when I was going down previously. Done it since new. I am running the same apps as on my Note 8 and that phone didn't exhibit this scrolling issue. Any...

    Thread Open app cards don't switch orientation when the device is flipped

    Ever since the Pie update I hate the open apps cards. They don't switch orientation when you change from landscape to portrait when they used to do in Nougat.

    Thread Android Pie RAM management

    Is it an improvement on Oreo or worse? I have read that it's worse on some other phones. I never found the Note 8 on Oreo to have particularly great RAM management to say that it has 6GB of RAM (which at launch was pretty good).

    Thread M5 8.4" lots of play in USB-c port from brand new

    Fresh out of the box. The charge cable connects with a satisfying click but there is a TON of wiggle in the port. I can move the cable about 1.5mm in each direction whilt it is fully seated in the port. Will this damage the internal connections over time and should I return it?

    Thread RAM management

    My only criticism with the N8 is RAM management. I moved from the Xperia XZ with 3GB of RAM and purposefully went for a device with 6GB because of reloads. Yet my N8 reloads the sites and apps in question every bit as much. I read that he N8 had much better RAM management with Nougat, is this so?*
