    Back on the iPhone 7 Plus until Samsung releases a Bluetooth fix

    In my experience, I only have BT problems when both BT and WiFi are on. I also have WiFi randomly disconnection problem as well if both are on. If I turn off WiFi, then BT works fine.

    Encrypted SD Card

    It reappears each time you restart your phone. To get rid of it, instead of swiping it away, tap on it and it should disappear

    S8 Wifi drops excessively, won't reconnect

    I would try turning off Bluetooth. It seems that the phone experience issues if both are on at the same time. A fix for this is coming from Samsung

    T-Mo S8+ bought from Samsung.com finally permanently network unlocked.

    That's great! I've tried unlocking using the installed app but it says I'm not eligible. I also checked the my T-Mobile website and it says phone not in the system (even though it shows up as Galaxy S8+ complete with picture). Can you give a step by step run down of the process?

    Coming from Apple.. Got an S8+, Gear S3 - Notifications Question + SMS on Laptop

    Phenomenal battery life

    12 hour screen time on a single charge. This is so much longer than my tablet and laptop both of which have significantly bigger batteries and lower resolution.

    [T-Mobile Note5] Samsung back up always fail after 12/6 update

    So my phone automatically updated to the November security patch even though I've set phone update to manual (weird). But I cannot back up anything to Samsung cloud. It would fail every time saying fail to connect to server. Anyone has any idea?

    Dialer Storage takes up too much space

    I have low storage on my phone and this app seems to take up a bunch of useless space that I can't clear. Does anyone knows how to clear out this app? I know it's a system app but usually it shouldn't take up over half a gig.

    Samsung Pay

    If you have a chip card make sure you have a signature for it in Samsung pay otherwise it will not work. There's a field below the card for you you sign it

    Why won't Samsung Pay work at Walmart?

    If you just got a new card try removing it from Samsung pay and adding it again. Sometime the automatic update screws up
