    Bluetooth novice question

    If my s8 plus has Bluetooth turned on does it cause Battery drain ? Reason I ask is because I noticed my battery drained much quicker since Oreo but few days ago updated for "Bluetooth improvement " and ive noticed Battery life improve again ??

    Picks up little scratches easily

    OK I'm not using any protection for the face but my S8 plus seems to easily pick up little hairline scratches. Only notice them in sun but annoying nonetheless. I had no such thing with my LGG4 in two years of use.

    Strange placement of SOS button S8 plus

    Wonder what the logic of having the 3 press emergency on the home button was? As i use the button for Camera I've already twice accidently sent Emergency SOS to family members. The Brixby button would surely have been better placement. I get the photo bit on the SOS but imagine if your mm doing...

    Back /Home button

    Really loving my new S8+ but only thing I'm really finding annoying is dragging bottom tray of buttons up when exiting pages. Id prefer them to stay in place. Is their any way of doing this?

    Wifi issues

    My wifes A5 seems to have problems with wifi. Around the house it says wifi not strong enough yet if she turns wifi off/on it works. All other devices have no such wifi issues which makes me think it's an A5 problem. Any solutions and I would be grateful.

    Sim Confusion

    Just a quickie. I've decided to buy Galaxy s8 outright rather than pay over the odds on a monthly basis. I have a LGG4 which uses a micro sim but I read the Sammy uses a nano sim. I read that the S8 can use micro sim. Is this correct or do I need get a nano sim from Vodafone? Kind Regards Darren

    Yep but that seems great compared to sticking with Vodafone via Carphone Warehouse. Costs about 50 odd quid per month for 4 gig data I need. Thanks for the posts by the way very helpful and I'd be grateful if you find any deals and post on here.

    Tagging a person in Facebook posts.

    Same happens with me on my LGG4. I have to go back and re tag. I always thought it was a FB glitch rather than phone.

    Newbie help question UK regarding contracts

    I'm probably looking at the S8. I had an s6 which was unfortunately stolen so I replaced with a LGG4 which had the loop problem but overall is a solid phone. Is Giffgaff any good. I usually just go to Carphone Warehouse and upgrade. Unfortunately it seems a bit like Sky etc that if you're loyal...
