I am so up in the air about this. Beautiful screen, great camera, top of the line specs and the S pen. But I absolutely despise the Samsung services. There is no reason to have Samsung browser interfering with another browser I might want to use. I have 3 stupid cloud services because there is...

Battery is absolutely terrible now. I have maybe half the battery life I used to. My 4G and phone signal gets weak often. And now none of my notifications come through unless I pick up and move my phone. But hey, it still has a nice screen so there is that.

Mine unlocked Note 8 sucks now too. I don't get notifications until I pick up and move the phone and then notifications for everything I missed come in all at once. On top of that, my battery is draining at least twice as fast as before since the most recent update I received. As someone who...

Didn't work for me. It now only recognizes contacts spelled a certain way where before the update, it had no probelem recognizing the contacts. I then changed my default assistant to Ok Google but when I push the button on my bluetooth headset, it still launches Bixby. Such as pain in the *** to...

Can you explain to me how to clear the cache partition and the Bixby Cache? Is there anything that clearing the cache could damage or change? I would really rather stick to my Bixby and Cortana combo if I could get the damn thing to work instead of having to use Google Assistant. I just want 1...

Yup, Bixby doesn't recognize half of my contacts. Something as simple as "Christina" wich Bixby had no problem with before, suddenly she tries looking for "Cristina" and can't find the contact. Teaching it doesn't work anynmore and when you select the name, she then doesn't know whether to dial...

I have it running on AT&T. There is no HD voice calling but you can download the visual voicemail app and it works fine. Not sure if it's available for Verizon though.

Re: Crop to Fit icon missing for YouTube I still have the Crop button like before. I'm using an unlocked version in case that helps figure this out.

I've actually been wondering about what this means for Widgets. Since hearing about the Pixel burn in and now reading this thread, people are saying it's caused by static screens and images that don't move just like burn in is always caused by. Does that mean that widgets will cause burn in too...

Absolutely love that, How did you do it?

So basically, now that I've returned to Android after all three years the only thing I need to free up is my way of thinking. (see what I did there.. Pretty good huh) Anyway, thanks for the explanations and links to info. Much appreciated. I will add. I usually only have 2 apps open in the...

I have been wondering about memory as well. How in the hell do I only have 2GB free on a 6GB Ram phone. I have no games installed or running, I have podcast apps, Outlook and Microsoft apps and 7 Widgets. that's it. And yet I only have 2GB RAM free. I see that and I wonder how a Galaxy S8 runs...

I actually switched to this so nothing would get under glass protectors anymore. I'll tell you what, you get this thing on right and it is really nice. Check out some videos of it on YouTube too get an idea. I'm pretty impressed with it...

I just wany to chime in that this screen is very easy to scratch. I mean unacceptably easy. I had a tempered glass protector on that popped up a tiny bit due to the phone being in a case. It popped up just enough that you could hear clicks in the edges when you pressed down. I noticed a little...

This exactly!
