I just got the S8+ today and I can't for the life of me figure out why Facebook and Twitter notifications are not coming up on the lock screen. No sounds or vibration... nothing. Help!

Wish I could switch to T-Mobile but my neighborhood is like the Bermuda Triangle of carrier service (and I'n only 20 miles north of NYC) . I have to use a signal booster in my house already on Verizon. I can't imagine what T-Mobile would be. Can I disable all the bloatware and hide it from my...

Never used a Samsung phone but after dealing with a defective battery issue on my Nexus 6P I'm reading to move on. Luckily Google is refunding me the cost of my phone so I'm looking to get a Galaxy S8+. Should I wait to two weeks for the unlocked version? Is it better to get the carrier version...

Re: How are you getting 5-6 hours of SOT? Makes sense, my building has steel beams and probably corrugated metal on the roof... Lots of materials that block reception.

Re: How are you getting 5-6 hours of SOT? So that's probably my biggest issue. I work in a school with cinderblock walls. Looking at my cellular network signal is orangev from the time I'm there at about 7:45 until I leave at 3:30. I do use the WiFi in the building though. Got any other...

How are you getting 5-6 hours of SOT? Like the title said, I'd love to know the secret to getting that much screen on time. Maybe I'm in an area with weak cell reception but I'm getting only about 4 hours at this point. I have location off Adaptive screen on and brightness low No Bluetooth I...

I'm also in an area with spotty cell phone reception (so much for having Verizon!). Is using wifi a big drain or should I just be using cell service?

Re: Best Settings for Better Battery Life? Getting rid of the Facebook app will mean not getting notifications though, right?

Just got my phone yesterday afternoon and would love to know what people are disabling or keeping on to get their batteries to last longer. Is Chrome a battery killer? If so, what browser are you using?

Re: People who have ordered from Huawei Canceling my Huawei order tomorrow. I ordered a 64 aluminum on 10/19 and haven't heard a single thing. Order the same from Google Store on 10/30.... Phone will be arriving tomorrow. I really wish I knew why Huawei was so terrible at shipping.

Graphite is out again.... I purchased an aluminum but am having a little buyer's remorse. Starting to like the graphite more and more.
