The notch area is unusually thick with the Pixel 3 and it feels so under-utilized the way it is. So I borrowed an image from Mobile-Review and did a quick and dirty mock up.

I cloned the clock from the left side of the notch and moved it to the right, then shifted the airplane and battery icon down. I did not resize the icons. As you can see, there's enough room there to comfortably fit 2 lines of notification.

Here's the mockup

Obviously everyone will have their own preferences. But, I like having my static icons (clock, battery, signal, BT, wifi) on the right and app notifications on the le

So I use pushbullet to push funny videos to my friends a lot. I do this by clicking on the 3 dot menu of a YouTube video then select share.

Below are 3 "shares" on the same video done back to back. Try and find the pushbullet entry:

It's all over the place. It's not sorted by most frequently used apps, it's sorted by name, actually, it doesn't even follow the share menu structure from other apps. It has a weird lag between each swipe, and you can't even pin an item like you can on other apps.

So it's been a while since we've heard about the trade in rejection. The standard answer was that Samsung will escalate the issue to management and get back to you in 3~5 days. Has anyone heard back? What happen? Were you refunded?

Got my phone last week and I set it up and used it normally as I would. For a few days, the battery usage showed projections of having almost 10 hours of screen on time. I was a little skeptical, so on Friday, I decided to test it out.

After I got home on Friday, I disconnected the S8+ from my car (with a full charge) and used it as I would. A few text, social media, a Duo call (around 40 min.), streamed a little Plex, used Evernote while cooking, and streamed some audio over BT using Google Now's Daily briefing.

It's now Monday morning and the battery just hit 5% (well, 4% by the time I did the screen shots) and dimmed the screen automatically, so that's where I called it since I can't r

I woke up to a notification from Instgram saying that it has updated. I remember seeing something similar from facebook so I checked out their respective settings.

Sure enough, on Facebook > App settings, there is now an App Update setting, same thing with Instagram.

Didn't google ban updates outside of Play Store a few years back?

Edit: Here are some screen shots:

I'm running a Verizon Galaxy Note 5. My auto update in Play store is off. I really dislike the fact that Facebook/instagram can bypass the play store and push updates on their own.

If you're thinking: what's the big deal? Well, if Samsung and Facebook are working together and bypasses the Play

In case you might be wondering why your browser's default page changed on the Samsung S2 Tablet: I Got a notification for a system update on my Samsung S2 and noticed that Samsung will set your browser's default page to www.samsung.com

I noticed that I my upgrade date was moved well ahead of my contract end date by a month. So I Transferred my UDP line's upgrade to a TDP and ordered the iPhone 7+ online. Phone was shipped on 9/21. Both lines got the PU when I checked.

I met with the buyer and opened the phone up and took out the SIM card.

It is now 10/25, and both PU are gone, UDP is still intact at $30, so I call that a win.

BCED = Billing Cycle End Date CED = Contract End Date (same date as when I can do phone upgrade with subsidy)

I just want to make sure I have the right understanding.

if my BCED and CED are the same date - I'll get hit with the $20 price increase as soon as my contract is up

if say I change my BCED to the 1st of every month and my CED is on the 2nd, theoretically I should have 29~30 days to use my upgrade eligibility, order a phone, and extend the contract, therefore avoiding the $20 price increase.

Is this correct? Thank you so much!
