    Apps you use the most

    Yahoo mail, Facebook, a Tarot Card app, Next Bus, my banking app, and the camera.

    All these new Verizon updates are bricking my Note 8!

    I updated with the November security patch. Have sd card in with a couple apps on it, lots of app disabled, and no problems. Verizon. I never understand why some phones have problems with things that others don't on the same carrier, and the same update. WTF.

    Moved from Pixel 2 XL to Note 8 - few questions

    I assume you've seen by now that there are a ton of Spen apps on the phone already. You can use it with Google Keep, too, and Evernote if you have it.

    Can't believe iPhone X has a better and bright screen than our Note 8

    I really don't care. I love the screen on the Note 8 and having experience with a friend's iphone 8--we switched phones for a couple of hours just to see how the other half live--I was only confirmed in my lack of interest in anything iphone. It's the whole ecosystem thing. If my Note is a shade...

    Share photos taken on your Note 8!

    This guy sits on a fence post top at the end of our block. He's a bit the worse for wear and dirt, but seems ok with it.

    Default music player for Note 8

    UHQ upscaler is grayed out on mine. Do you have to enable this when your headphones are plugged in (I'm not somewhere I can test that at the moment)?

    Pixel 2 Trade-In Nightmare - Buyers Beware!!!

    I loathe Paypal, have had several problems with them that were totally bogus. One as a buyer, with an Ebay seller that never delivered the item, and both Ebay and Paypal did nothing about it. And once buying an item from a merchant who wasn't at fault, but Paypal for reasons they didn't explain...

    Pixel 2 Trade-In Nightmare - Buyers Beware!!!

    I traded in a Pixel XL, silver, 128 gb to Verizon for the Note 8, having gotten the Pixel when my two Note 7s got recalled. It was in perfect condition. They originally quoted that 260.00 for it, but had a promotion--I'm not sure if it was just for Note 7 owners or not--but the point is, they...

    Pen virgin question - Is the only way to get it out is to press in on the pen?

    I had a case I liked, a Gpel Pure Max, and I stopped using it because getting the pen out was driving me crazy, it was just so difficult. Got a couple other cases and it's no problem, so it is definitely possible your case is making it harder than it needs to be.

    does iris scanning make you feel funny?!

    No weird feeling with iris scanner. Prefer it to fingerprint sensor but both work.

    Textra or default msg app?

    I had Textra for a while but it got glitchy so I went back to the stock app. I tried the new updated Textra today and it refused to send a photo that the stock one then sent without a problem. Don't know what gives. The stock one still doesn't give sound notifications when someone replies to me...

    Note8 Keyboard Lag?

    I havem't had any lag with the stock keyboard. If Swiftkey didn't work it sounds like a problem with something on the phone, an app or setting. The Note has a lot of settings that can change how something works. Did you factory reset yet? A pain, but it might tell you if it was an app or a setting.
