I haven't figure out how to take a good macro with mine yet you tube Samsung vids were pretty good Mine does best if I touch the phone screen right at the point I want it to focus on before touching the take a pic button. Works at least 53% of the time. just got a warning that I was reaching critical internet bandwidth usage for the month of November that as me concerned possible I'm going to get limited in my free time ability to post willy nilly ha yeah I'm losing my dsl wi-fi so will just be depending on the smarty service they say its unlimited butte anymore in this virtual world ya don't know what that really means besides it going cost a lot of bitchs coins ha As for the bandwidth warning, it is a preset in your phone somewhere and unrelated to your service, at least that was the case in my MOTO from MetroPCS/T-Mobile. My personal issue now is can I find a signal booster for the homestead, I have little or no signal at home when indoors. All too often I also have to restart the phone when out and about so it will find a signal.

All too often I also have to restart the phone when out and about so it will find a signal.That a good point Lee The warning came from Samsung Not the provider It even stated that the provider criteria might be different Right now I have the luxury of using my DSL wifi That could disappear any moment Haven’t paid the bill in a few months As a side note: I called Century Link from a pay phone --O those are hard to find-- To tell them my phone service was broke They did a cursory check, agreed, & and made a ticket -the dial tone hadn’t worked for months no call out or in Yet the DSL connected So I didn't care- I then called them back to tell them I wasn’t going to pay the bill & wanted to cancel the service They asked if I had a call back telephone number? I said NO The phone is broke and I had to find a pay phone No way was I going to give out my smarty number Then things got strange.... ha ha Plus it seems like my phone signal inside the house is spotty Some business folks I’ve called claimed that I was breaking up If they only knew ha ha Stepped outside and they said it was clearer The signal was really strong on top of South Mountain Maybe because of the T.V towers ? Anyway Lee hope you can catch a strong signal Catch ya soon

We virtually have no signal at our house and simply put up with it since we had a landline. Point being, our old phones did not have WiFi calling as a feature, but our new phones did. Big difference! Now I use my cell at home nearly all the time, where I couln't make calls before.

aDave I have wifi turned on when at home but usually don't have wifi calling on, because even when I do have signal my phone will use the wifi and it sounds like Charlie Browns teacher.

only this I can say is careful for hidden costs or inadvertently authorizing payments glad I finally escalated the problem and got to talk to someone in person they don't make it easy so I'm saving 30 dollars a month on the billing that's a lot of hard spuds insurance and store space charges those may be necessary for some I'm pretty low maintenance ...mostly plus I just signed up for AARP supposedly a $20.00 membership for 2 years that should save me another 10 dollars a month on the smarty subscription .... distracted tumbling

One trick with the app stores, periodically when installing or upgrading apps an account screen comes up to provide the Google with a credit or debit card number to set up your account. As long as the app is free, if you hit the "skip" button it will proceed through the installation without them gaining the ability to trick you out of your money.

right on it was actually a smarty salesperson, for my provider, in a Target store that checked my setting. She suggested I go to the smarty store and have them adjust my billing these new salespersons in these stores are o.k. butte they all seem distracted getting dragged into the virtual world should be familiar territory w/ some of trips I took keeping it real was old school now its distracted stumbling
