    Find out if my S8 is unlocked?

    I wasn't aware of any code from a sales receipt. Did it come as an invoice with the package? Because I didn't notice it. I still have the email receipt when I ordered it but nothing indicates it. I bought this as a T-Mobile version, so not unlocked. I had to wait 40 days before I could get it...

    Find out if my S8 is unlocked?

    I bought mine from Samsung.com, and I finally got T-Mobile to help me unlock it. It was successful, the Device Unlock app is disabled after that. Is there a way to verify that the phone is unlocked?

    How "pocket-able" is the S8+?

    I love the size of the S8 Plus. It's quite tall so that sometimes can be an issue, but no regrets at all.

    5 things I HATE about the Samsung Galaxy S8

    If you hate it, return it. It's the same for anything else. If you're looking for negatives or positives, you will find it.

    has anyone got Edge Lighting to work for alerts on an S8?

    Legit question. Why would anyone place their phone front side town?

    Anyone notice the home button

    Common knowledge. This is how I unlock my phone. It's a one "button" press instead of pressing the power button then slide to unlock. I use Iris. It's usually fast enough where I don't even see the Iris camera comes up, it just goes right the the home screen. That's when I have the phone right...

    Best ultra thin hard CLEAR case for S8+?

    If that's bulky, then get a skin, like dbrand skin. Otherwise, that's the thinnest out there.

    Registration for "immersive Gear VR experience for $99" - How did it Go

    I have the S8+, and I can see it. The S8 will show it too, even thought the pixel density is slightly higher, it's still obvious. It's much better than the S7 Edge though, at least no more screen door because of the layout of the pixels.

    Free Samsung VR headset

    I ordered directly from Samsung.com. Everything came in one box; Gear VR, micro SD card, headphones, and the phone. The bonus content code was on a card that I redeemed on the Oculus app.
