My friend and I often do video calls and she is able to put the call on hold if she has another call coming in, but I can't do the same if I get another call. Instead, I'm forced to hang up on her to answer the incoming call (letting her know, of course, and calling back afterwards), and I get a...

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one with this issue! For a time I thought there was something wrong with my phone, but it was after I realized that all my other apps remember my selected notification ringtone that I determined it was a problem with the Facebook app. I hoped each update...

This issue is with the notification sounds built into the phone itself.

I have an S8+ on Verizon. I set a custom notification sound for each app that I get notifications from so I can aurally differentiate each of them. All of my apps remember the custom sound I set, except for Facebook. It keeps reverting back to the default notification sound within hours of...

Going in the settings and turning off optimization for Gmail seems to have done the trick. I am now getting notifications as the e-mails arrive, even after the phone has been asleep for a while. Thank you for your help!

Same here; I was able to find the "Optimize battery usage" menu in the Battery Usage screen by tapping the three dots on the upper right side of the screen. So then I turned off optimization for Gmail and other apps that I get notifications from on a regular basis (like Facebook, Messenger, and...

I just looked and everything is the way it should be; notifications are allowed, and permissions are set to storage (I don't use contacts or calendar enough to give Gmail those permissions).

On my S8+, I have my Gmail sync set to on so that I can get e-mails as they arrive. But I don't get any notifications when my screen is off. I have to turn the screen on for the notification to show up. I'm using the Gmail app and my settings are configured so that I have it notify me for every...

My printer doesn't have Wi-Fi; it only supports USB connections.

Like what some here have said, I too went with the S8+ solely due to the bigger battery (3500 mAh), although the big screen size was something I also considered. In terms of dimensions, according to the specs listed on GSM Arena, it's only 0.42 inch taller and 0.21 inch wider than the regular...

I got the update early yesterday morning, and I haven't had the DQA error at all; some people were saying it was because of a certain app installed on the phone, but if that's true, I guess it means I don't have the said app. I know a lot of us got the update shortly after getting the phone, so...

As you know, the phone came with a USB to USB-C dongle that lets you connect mice, flash drives, and other USB accessories. I recently came across the idea that if you connect the phone to a printer using the dongle and a USB cable, that you could print directly from the phone. I have an HP...

Day 2 of having my S8+ (Verizon). Wow, just wow. I really pushed it this time; with QHD+, sync on, using GPS, heavy YouTube and video streaming, Facebook chat, web browsing, and some phone calls, with around 25-30% brightness most of the time (the screen is bright enough that it doesn't need to...

Oh yeah, I just toggled between the two, and QHD definitely makes everything appear crisper; a clear winner for me! That makes me like the phone even more! Not sure how much more battery this will use on mine, but based on what everyone has been posting here, I don't think it'll be that much of...

Those are some really good numbers! Do you see any noticeable differences between FHD and QHD? I just went with FHD for better battery life and also because it looks just fine to me.
