More ******** from the Samsung crack squad regarding the e-certificates.

Apparently they can only be used on mobile accessories. So there goes my plan to use them on a Galaxy Active. But wait...there's more. Even though the e-certificate was meant as a replacement for not having galaxy buds available, they cant actually be used on Galaxy Buds because they are not being sold online anymore (at least for the time being). So I'm stuck with $130 towards phone cases or wireless chargers. Oh and if you don't use the entire $130 on the same purchase you lose the remaining amount.

Embarrassing **** from Samsung but I should've known better.

So I kept the screen protector on my Plus and it's still looking nice and clean on the display and I'm not having too many FPS issues.

It's not as reliable as my smaller S10 was but I had removed the protector on that straight away.
I like the peace of mind with the protector and it's so thin I can hardly notice it so want to try and keep it on for as long as possible.

Still loving the phone though. Have no desire to return to my XR.

That's insane! Does the certificate expire? Maybe the buds will be back soon. Their phone inventory seems to change often.

I read S10's are coming with Basic screen mode as default.
Is this true?

Early impressions sound pretty good. Better than air pods for me. Notifications is useful for texts and sport scores and I've set tap and hold for volume up and down as the beats are crap when in the gym for trying to control the volume as I need to use my phone each time which goes against the point of wireless headphones

Can't wait to try them in the gym

Yeah I like mine. The only thing they don't do well is phone calls. I tried using them for work and I had 4 people tell me I sounded robotic and very hard to understand. Luckily I'm a runner so they'll still come in handy!

Hopefully that can be fixed with an update. Don't use it for calls I must admit

How's your battery life since the reset and also, what have you decided to do with your XS Max?
This is where I'm at.. Hard to compare those as I'm on WiFi

I plan to sell the max as soon as I get the lens fixed.

I'm at work tomorrow on 4G for 12 hours.. That will be the test on the battery

Don’t forget to download good lock and the companion sound app if you don’t want both your buds and your phone to ring at the same time.

I still can’t get over why this is done two apps deep.
