I do have a screen protector, although it's not the tempered glass. It's pretty thin and seems to maintain sensitivity for everything else.

I find that pressing the home button takes too much pressure when unlocking the phone. I've adjusted the sensitivity slider in the settings to most sensitive setting, but it doesn't seem to help much. Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks Gerry

I would like to use the app 'Write on PDF'. I can see it in my list of apps in settings, but I can't find it on the device. I've tried searching for it and have looked and looked, but can't find it. Any suggestions?

I have the Note 8 and often update contacts on the phone in the course of daily activities. I have been using Google and Simpler to maintain contacts on it, and am still trying to figure out whether they are synching or not and which app to use as primary. To add to the fun, I have a new...

Both Chrome and Firefox are frequently freezing. Sometimes after poking around on the app, it'll become active again, but very frustrating process. Any suggestions? Thanks Gerry

Can folks recommend best protection plan. Am leaning toward Verizon because also covers loss and theft as well as damage. Have seen Worth Ave Group which has relatively low cost and only $50 deductible. Anyone have experience with them? Thought it would be good idea to go with plan...

have tried both reinstall and removing Cache with no luck. Any other ideas?

How can I clear the cache?

I use Word and Excel on my Note 8. Both worked fine until a few days ago, but now have stopped opening. I get a quick pop up saying Excel or Word has stopped working with a further note saying: Close App. I have an Office 365 subscription which is still current. I did change my Office...

I'm looking for a full featured task manager/ List Maker type app. I'm looking for one that can generate to do's & checklists and do tasks with sub tasks. Looking for something that's free or with a moderate cost-- not a monthly fee forever. Any suggestions? Thanks Gerry

EUREKA!! It worked. Another question-- is it safe to keep the developer option enabled all of the time or should I go back and close it, now that I've made the change that I wanted. Am I at risk of screwing something else up inadvertently?

Ok, turned on developer mode and went to storage and the podcast app, but options for storage haven't changed. Is there something else I should to enable the SD storage option?

I was replying to the previous poster, not toenail_ flicker. Where do I turn off developer mode? Not aware of that.

Yes, that's exactly what I've done, but as I noted, the podcast apps and most other apps require storage in the phone's onboard memory. Folks, please let me know if I'm missing something here, or if you've got another suggestion or perhaps a good podcast app that allows storage on the SD...

Thanks for the reply, but I've installed a large (200GB) SD card. The problem is that most apps and data can only be stored on the device's internal (64GB) memory as far as I could tell. Gerry
