    Activating and Setting up Note 8 Verizon- Taking WAY Long??

    If you're replacing an S7 Edge, why not just swap the SIM from the old phone to the new one? No activation issues, no hassle. I do that all the time when I get a new phone. No reason to deal with the carrier at all then.

    my s8 and t3 were hackedMicrosoft 360 and hancom office corporate accounting

    This makes no sense. Can you tell us in greater detail what the devices are doing? What do you mean "theft of the admin device"?

    Samsung isn't honoring its Galaxy S8 $200 trade-in discounts. Major PR blow to come.

    I'd say these two lines in the full TOS cover Samsung's behavior: · Samsung reserves the right to substitute, change, cancel or add to any part of these Terms at any time, including terminating the Trade-In Program or modifying these Terms. · We reserve the right to decline or cancel...

    Samsung Galaxy S8+ serious video issue?

    The macro blocking in the video is interesting. I just duplicated your tests on my Verizon S8+. As you back down the resolution, things get better. I think this may actually be more of a compression issue. The S8 and S8+ are capable of playing H.265 video, but not recording in it. The format...

    can you choose only 5 buttons in the galaxy s8 dropdown menu?

    I think he/she means just the first pull. The number of items in the first line is always 6. I don't believe there is any way to customize that to fewer/larger icons. The double pull grid can be customized like you describe.

    Samsung isn't honoring its Galaxy S8 $200 trade-in discounts. Major PR blow to come.

    Does anyone have a copy of the "fine print" legal terms of this offer? I keep seeing the promotional text, but I'm curious to see what exactly the actual terms were.

    I cannot type on this phone

    Honestly, it sounds like you're having some kind of deeper issue with the phone. There is no reason that Gboard wouldn't show the keys and unless you're fingers are huge, you shouldn't be hitting any keys next to another one. I would strongly suggest you go to a carrier store and try typing on...

    Bixby beta users

    I tried it and it's back to disabled. I cannot find a value or use for Bixby. It is definitely one of those duplicate features I have no use for.

    Sd card wont encrypt with airwatch

    AirWatch may require an unencrypted card to properly control traffic. I would actually send them an email asking if that's an incompatibility.

    I cannot type on this phone

    I guess I would ask what is causing your inability to type? Is it too wide for one handed typing? Are all the possible keyboards messing up words for you? If the Samsung keyboard, Gboard, and SwiftKey are all failing you, I'm really curious why. There are one handed modes if that's the issue...

    Anyone use their tablets less since getting S8 Plus?

    My tablet has been relegated to watching movies and reading books/comics/manga. I honestly believe the introduction of larger phones has been chewing away at the tablet market on all fronts. Even the iPhone 6+ started a downward trend in iPad sales. With screens as large as they are now...

    Master the hidden features of Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+

    Ok, I must be losing my mind. How do you enable the multi-screen background for the lock screen? I can't find any setting for that anywhere. EDIT: Ok, it isn't actually like the old multi-image where you could pick what backgrounds you wanted to rotate. This is a crappy experience where you...

    Who lives in Sacramento that can root a T-Mobile Galaxy s8?

    Exactly this. You're just asking for trouble.
