    My Note 8 battery life is so bad

    10 hours off the charger, 3+ hrs SOT yesterday, and I still had 60% left. This phone has the best battery life I've ever seen, since I started using a smartphone in the early 2000s (Treo 300).

    5100 battery charger

    I really like the Tronsmart 10000mAH charger on Amazon. I get around 1.5-2 full charges, and it has QC 3.0. It's also about the same size as the Note 8. https://www.amazon.com/Tronsmart-10000mAh-Ultra-Compact-Portable-Technology/dp/B06Y6CS44G?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6063361

    Gave up my IPhone for the Note

    I've had my Note 8 for over a month now, and it gets better every day. Prior to that, I used a Note 4 for 3 years and a Note 2 for 2 years before that, so I think I might hold onto the 8 for a long while.

    Best Note 8 games

    I usually play Hearthstone or Clash Royale. Thanks for the tip on WGT Golf though. I didn't realize there was a game like this on Android.

    Has the note 8 gotten even faster?

    TMo has this feature. It is under General Management - Reset. The easiest way to find it is to search for "restart" in the settings app.

    30 days with your note your thoughts

    Actually the Treo 300. Other plusses on this phone are that it never gets warm and has MST, which is the best new practical technology in smartphones in years IMO.

    30 days with your note your thoughts

    I've used a smartphone since the original color Treo. The Note 8 has BY FAR the best battery life of any smartphone I have ever used. Typically 16hrs+ with 6-8hrs SOT, a few hours of phone calls, and some GPS. The best battery life with the best screen and processor to date, along with...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Fixing the lag

    Re: Fixing the lag Thanks everyone. I'm glad I'm not crazy about the recent lag, and it's reassuring to know that the patch will fix it, whenever ATT gives it to us. I tried the steps in the OP post but the recents lag is still there.

    S-Pen: Like it or Love It?

    I agree with this part completely. There's a whole lot more to the note than the S-Pen. Size, multi-window, battery life, etc. But the SPen is near the top of the long list for me.

    Is there a powerbank capable of adaptive fast charging for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4?

    Re: 15000 mAh Li-Ion powerbank preferably capable of Adaptive fast charging for Samsung Galaxy Note If you don't need that kind of capacity, I HIGHLY recommend the 5000mAh EasyAcc. I like it because it has an integrated microUSB cable, charges with the phone's microUSB cable, and it charges at...

    Wallet Case

    Does anyone know of a wallet case that has card storage behind the phone? I'm not a fan of the book style case, but I'd like to carry 2-3 cards or so.

    S-Pen: Like it or Love It?

    I have over 150 SNotes on my Note 2 that were taken while on a call. Its also super convenient to mark up PDFs or screenshots. I am a big fan of the SPen, and only the Notes do it right.
