Verizon.

Probably paying more than I should, but Tried T mobile and it was not good I'm my neighborhood. May need to give them another try.

I use 60-65 GB a month. No cable and stream YouTubeTV to TV using dex.

I have not had any data throttling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gruuvin:
Unlimited everything for $33.33 per line (three lines), all taxes and fees included.

What's Xfinity charge?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
T-mobile will give you a signal booster for your house. You pay the initial fee of, I think, $20 something then it is free.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
$12 a gig, $45 unlimited per line. No fees for stuff.

We use maybe 2gigs a month between my wife and I.

Be grateful you don't live in an area like me. 5mbs down during the day and 60+mbs after 1am. I live only a few blocks from the tower too. Verizon, TMO doesn't matter. We have more users then capacity here. Dead zones are still major issues in my area too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
At&t told me the same thing. Said there are so many people in my area that everything becomes congested. I dont believe that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
Carriers do limit the data speeds to deter congestion during the day. Home internet providers are now doing the same thing. I got connects from college days that are now engineers for Verizon and comcast.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] qnc:
I think I'm going to give T-Mo a try again. going to port my numbers over tomorrow. I'll save about 100 bucks on my bill.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
Holy crap. You'll be saving $100 switching TO T-Mobile??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] qnc:
Not a big change guy and coverage has always been the sticking point with me and T-Mobile, Sprint had problems in my area. No land line and was missing many calls back in the day. Went with big Red and never changed. But talking to friends and coworkers on T-mo now going to give it a shot again..

I switched my wife and kids to Cricket and have not had any problems, but had payments on my last two phones. Going to take advantage of T-Mo Get out of RED and have the pay off my devices. Looking at the plans i would get more priority data on TMo before the throttling, even though I have never been throttled on vzw where i could tell a difference. I stream YoutubeTV basically all day and kill the data.

take away the device payments I would be saving about $45 a month including taxes and fees, get faster speed and netflix to boot.

change is good.

yahoo was still only relevant in the mind 2000's because it was bundled in almost all free software like a virus...(Admittedly, google copied them on that part but actually went somewhere with it.)

and old people who didn't know better using it. I'm sure there are some stats out there showing that 60 % of all hacked accounts out there were Yahoo accounts..lol

back in the day you didn't need fishing tactics. you'd just need to ask a yahoo user to give their creds and they'd abide willingly.

btw those videos from "data is beautiful" are addictive.

Lol...don't know why people jump all over these beta releases. Now it's being reported that its locking people out of their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:

Bunch of sheep. I'm seeing the same with Huawei emui 10 beta. I joined it, used it for 24 hours and then went back to 9.1 Pie. No new features at all. Yet everyone is freaking about not being able to get on the beta programme.

PS I got on the one ui 2.0 beta program also , at least Samsung tried to add some new features but I also rolled that back to Pie. Hyped $hit on both fronts.

...I'm back to Pie and this time it's forever..[emoji1787]

That documentary is really good and interesting. Just don't watch on cable. One 40 minutes episode becomes 10 hours because of the ads.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
The damn ads are what prevents me from watching any cable TV. Pi$$ takers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
The damn ads have prevented me from ever getting cable. I've never had cable and never will. They're double dipping using us. They make money from us and impose ads on us. If I'm paying for tv, you damn sure I won't wanna see any freaking ads. In my home country, we never pay for tv. You only have to buy your dish and satellite box, program it and boom, over 3000 channels for $0. I was very much ok with seeing ads since I wasn't paying for it anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Yep. It my home country we pay a yearly tv license fee and get no adverts on BBC channels.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Anyone here use an Android box over cable?

Wtf...I am paying $250 a month for crap Tv. Same thing on every damn week..same movies. I cancelled all my pay channels, no HBO..no Showtime they all suck. Since I have Amazon Prime that is where I get most of my movies or I download them from Kickass Torrents..of course using Nordvpn
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Shouldn't that be what normal people do? Only in 'merica [emoji23]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Even watching football ( soccer ) on NBC makes me sick with the adverts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
You mess with anything on my tv but not my football, especially when it's liverpool, arsenal or Barcelona. I'd lose it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Same here.

On a side note, does anyone have a method to download files from Google drive to local PC? Google just informed me that apparently my promo is coming to end . Apparantly I need to shed 100GB from my current 115GB limit.

On my PC , I check the folders to download to PC, but after zipping it just times out or disappears. Mofos making it difficult to offload files .

Only option that perhaps applies.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
install the sync app on the PC setup synch folder. go online and move files to the newly created folder in the PC which should now appear online. wait till it syncs all files to PC then choose to keep offline once all is copied and or just move the folder out of the synch dir. then destroy the online versions.

Anyone got this Disney plus thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
I am. Just Disney+ though. I don't need the others.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
I tried the bundle, I was able to access hulu but not ESPN+, so I cancelled the whole thing all together.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Is Disney mainly for children's audience?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
Yeah pretty much but they bought a lot of different companies over the years, so now they have a pretty large base that covers "the entire family." Since they own Hulu now, it's being speculated that's where all of the none family oriented things will be.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Probably one of At&t bull[emoji90] schemes. Hey we will show 5G but it's actually 2G+++
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
Are you talking about the update.zip file? It should not trip Knox as it is the official update.zip package that you would get from an OTA. Keyword being Official.

That's At&ts 5G Evolution bullcrap. There's no 5G on it at all. They were being sued for it too. They have a very stupid track history of putting false advertising on devices whenever there is new tech coming, so that they can trick people into getting their services.

https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/22/18511660/att-sprint-5ge-false-advertising-lawsuit-settlement

That's that secret Samsung Galaxy S10 5GE that no one knew existed. You had to be a super exclusive member to get it bruh.

It's 4G at best. Their 4GLTE isn't even true LTE, it just uses the hardware but the speeds/bandwidth capabilities aren't even through at all, with the exception of very few major cities. AT&T needs a huge leadership change and shift in direction.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I knew it...lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I just read that this BS 5Ge is actually slower then the other carriers 4G. All At&t did was add carrier aggregation and saying its 5G...freaking Aholes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dave678:
It's 4G. 5GE is just faster 4G

So I took my phone to Ubreakifix to examine why it reboots after 5 to 10 minutes on airplane. The guy at the front counter there said examined my phone and said my warranty is voided due to minor dent in the aluminum frame in the back. He ran some diagnostics tests and said everything is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
How does a bend in the frame void the warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
In the Western world, they look for excuses to not pay up and repair . In this case a dent. I've even heard of warranty being denied over a scratch.[emoji1787]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Well, that's stupid. I'm not bringing the phone for that scratch/dent. It just reboots randomly, why are you fixating on a dent and leaving the rebooting issue I'd tell them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Because land of thieves.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dave678:
Idk but two Samsung reps I talked to said a dent in the frame doesn't void the warranty. Which means the guy at Ubreakifix was wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
No, it means that that guy is just an asshole.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dave678:
As in he wants money?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Lmao, At&t is such a joke. If I go to my front porch, the fake 5Ge vanishes and it shows 4G. As soon as I go back inside my slower then 2G 5Ge comes back[emoji1787]

You need T-mobile in your life. ATT is hands down the worst company on the planet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingVekxin:
Not trying to be that guy but I've heard the same thing about TMobile and sprint. Only Verizon and AT&T are viable where I live
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
You're right, but where you live. Where I live, T-mobile is the best. Period. It depends on where you live. BUT, T-mobile IS the cheapest out of the three. I'm paying $100 for two lines unlimited everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingVekxin:
It always had been. Tmo and sprint were the lowest priced. But the thing is I'm always up for a cheaper plan but not at cost of service quality n such. My older sisters didn't have anything good to say about them
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Man, I freaking love their service. I've been with them for over 5 years and rarely had an issue with them at all. I've traveled through six states and had absolutely zero issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
You are right Kalz. Depends where you live. Dont know many where I live with Tmobile. It's probably 70 % At&t with a mix of Verizon..Sprint...and Tmobile. I have been with At&t since it was Cingular wireless about 1996. Yes I ***** and moan about them but I'm stuck as my kids are on the horrible financing. So like most I will continue to complain but stay[emoji1787][emoji23]. But Tmobile does offer the best deals. When I got my 10+ At&t offered nothing extra..well buy one get one but you had to open another line. To me that is not a deal.

Battery could have used a little bump too, shocked that Xiaomi got a 5,000+ mAh in the form factor of their Note 10 device
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lazarus0000:
Other than the curved screen in the Note 4 Edge, I've never really understood Sammy's curved screen idea. On the Edge, it was a fantastic idea - my wife mourns the death of that phone like a lost child & nothing, No-THING, can equal it in her eyes. But since then, it's just seemed like a way to frustrate people. Adds no functionality and makes the phone harder to hold.

Not a deal breaker for me. I used an LG in between the Note 4 and my Note 9 and meh... Samsung has made HUGE strides since the TouchWiz days. I have to say, with GoodLock installed, this phone is all I want. Well, that and about a dozen blondes all dedicated to finding new ways to keep me happy (but that's another story....)!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr.Lost:
I loved my note edge. Hated the battery life in it though, I believe I went through like 3 batteries in it's life
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dave678:
Yes they have. I still like Samsung Experience better than One UI.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lazarus0000:
But nice thing about the Note 4 was that you could change the battery! I didn't have the Edge, that was my wife's. But I had just the regular N4 and, though battery life was abysmal, I could just take the back cover off and swap out for a fully charged battery & be back in business. My N4 even had a ZeroLemon 10k mAh battery! That was HUGE but lasted an insane amount of time.

Awesome phone, especially when rooted. I love my N9 but there's always going to be a soft spot in my heart for the early Notes. I'm glad I don't HAVE to root but it was nice that I COULD root and the old Notes were a rooting \ ROMing playground.

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

I wouldn't know about that - I literally never used it. First thing I've always done is get rid of the stock launcher & install Nova launcher. I'm on the OneUI Beta now and, with Android 10, can't use Nova & gestures, so I'm stuck with OneUI instead of being able to use Nova. I have to say, I'm not entirely dissatisfied. I'm interested in seeing how Nova implements gestures when Google allows third party implementation but Nova has used gestures for quite some time now anyway. What I DO like about gestures now is that they're available throughout the UI, not just on the home screen (when you're using Nova).

OneUI is definitely a work in progress but I've been impressed - maybe enough so that I won't go back to Nova. And THAT is HUGE! TouchWiz was a nightmare in every way possible. I didn't even know about the Samsung Experience. Now, being "forced" to use OneUI, I can't say I'm unhappy. Not too happy with no choice (Android being all about choice) but no choice in this instance isn't all that bad except philosophically.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dave678:
Samsung Experience was the name of Samsung's software from Nougat to Oreo and it's silky smooth. In fact I'm still using it today.

Hi

How do you feel about gestures in Android 10.

My first impression - the whole Android ecosystem is so not ready for such gestures. Apps are not ready. Half of the time gestures are not doing what they are supposed to do. You alwsys miss the right spot to swipe.

What are your thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
You mean the iOS gestures on android? I sure do like them better than the garbage Samsung one UI gestures.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bat0nas:
I did some search.

The guy in this video very well describes whats actually is wrong with new gestures. I don't know are they copied from iOS or not.

https://youtu.be/ILCZOZE7Sbc
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
It is a complete copy of the ios gestures. It is not a bad thing, but they copied it bit for bit. Maybe, they made a little crappy. Lol
