Has anyone figured out how to get full screen album art on the lockscreen similar to how it's done on the Pixel?

People actually want that? That was always my biggest gripe with Android music playing apps, I think it looks horrendous. :p

In Google Play Music there is an option within settings to toggle it on and off, not sure what music player you're using though? :)

It is a little slippery yes, but not as much as the phone being naked. I do find it easier to keep hold of now I have this case on and I can leave it on the arm of the sofa and not worry about it sliding off like a bar of soap.

The beauty of the leather cases is they wear which toughens them up grip wise, and adds a nice look!

I've got the silicone case and I really like it for when I want a more classy look instead of a plastic case

Use my other case for gym and use at home

Another freebie is you get a free car and other perks when you download Asphalt 9 game. It will take a couple of races to get it though. But you'll end up getting the Samsung bonus.

I think I kind of love Samsung gestures. It's not on the same level of naturalness that iOS gestures are, but it feels familiar when you know where the buttons were before. It's not like you have to completely relearn how to navigate the OS.
[doublepost=1552866290][/doublepost]Is there a way to make the flashlight one of the lock screen shortcuts?

Well, so far I don't mind the S10 too much. I have thought about getting the + instead, but I'm not sure I want the larger phone again. The regular is plenty big, and the weight is nice. My iPhone XS Max feels extremely heavy after using the Samsung.

I haven't had too many issues with the FPS with the included screen protector on. Every once in a while it will fail, but for the most part it works.

My only real complaint is with the keyboard. The keys are a lot more narrow on the Samsung keyboard than the Google keyboard, and yes, I can change it, but I like the look of the stock keyboard, especially if I'm using night mode or whatever it is called.

Its unfortunate that some of the apps I use look better on iOS than android, but that was known already, and is the fault of the developers, not Android.

I've not had a chance to really put the battery through its paces, so I'll see how it goes tomorrow. If for some reason the S10 doesn't last all day, I'll quickly switch to the +.

Edit: Another thing I've found is that the AOD isn't actually always on. It turns off after about 10 seconds Not sure if that is a setting or not.

I've used this app before on Samsung phones. Install and then put that app as one of the shortcuts. I think there are other apps that so the same thing if this one doesn't work out.

Had another look at the s10 this time side by side with my Xs Max viewing a YouTube video, I can say the s10 screen is a bit sharper/crisp than the Xs Max screen. It wasn't glaringly so, but enough to tell.

6 months newer, phone so this isn't a total shock. But kudos regardless.

Where Apple has exceled with their OLED panels over the last two years is subpixel calibration/rendering. Samsung certainly focused on that with this year's panels, and it absolutely shows.
