What dongle are you talking about? I don't need any. My mouse is Bluetooth, my external SSD is USB-C, my flash drive is USB-C. I have a USB-C to HDMI cable to use for presentation. I don't know why there are people need dongles so much. I do use USB-A for my VR headset and Rasberry Pi etc. but...

No. A USB-C port alone can help you to get rid of a stuuupid power brick from your backpack. I'm only carrying one power supply which charges my Dell XPS 12, my Android phone, and hack even my Sonicare toothbrush through a USB-C Qi wireless pad. Simply say, I won't buy any new gadget not...

No. When I saw the ports, I immediately knew I won't even take a closer look again. No USB-C (actually no Thunderbolt 3) is the deal breaker, actually one is not enough, it needs 2 of Thunderbolt 3 ports, at least one USB-C one Thunderbolt 3. Second thought, the storage is too little, double the...

You made me curious why Samsung is not the best choice for a Android phone and how N7/Z3 managed to make it. At this point, S6/N5 have the arguably fastest processor. Speaking of software, the first thing I did after powered up the phone is to try out different launchers to replace the infamous...

I had been a long time Windows Phone user since bought the original Samsung Focus on the launch day. Before that, I had used Windows Mobile for years. My last windows phone was Lumia 1020, I switched to Samsung Galaxy S6 a month back for the sake of Gear VR. I'd like to tell my experience of the...

you have the sp3, and you have sony vegas installed, and your result is?

solar charging in seattle? lol

I occasionally have the overheating and battery drain issue. It seems certain app will trigger it even if I had turned off the background task, Tether-X Pro is one of the suspects, but there are definitely others. As a developer myself, I believe it's a bug in the OS or firmware not the app even...

I have the same issue, and the same thought about the software issue. I'm not sure which app or apps may cause the problem, but once it started getting hot, the battery drains like crazy (I guess would drain a fully charged battery in 5 hours). Do a soft reset (power + volume down) temporarily...

I'm having a terrible battery drain right now. Just 2 days ago I had my best record for 2 days and 16 hours without charging, but now the battery drained from 33% to 18% in 41 minutes! What's going on Nokia? Why is it so inconsistent? I have the same background tasks (3 of them) running as 2...

Annoying Bluetooth A2DP bug. I play music using the stereo system in my Toyota Prius through Bluetooth, it has been a couple of times, when it's playing I changed the song from 1020, it wouldn't play, it kept repeating 0 to 5 seconds on the Prius screen but no audio. The only way to fix it is...

I totally agree with you. Besides, you can always adjust the brightness of a night shot with more details darker in software but not the other way around, if you didn't capture those details, you won't be able to make them visible in software.

Crashed 10 minutes ago when using Groupon, the app was loading local deals then froze, even power button stopped responding, waited for about 10 minutes the phone rebooted.

Canceled my pre-order last night and went to MS Store in Schaumburg, IL today, got the phone with free camera grip, but no $50 gift card, they said I could choose one of these 2 but not both. They did give me $10 app store coupon though.

I got the same thing since Jul 18. I called the customer service they said my order was validated in their internal system, somehow didn't show up on their website.
