    The Big Showdown

    I have both the N8 and 2XL. I really like my 2XL except for a minor blue tooth issue with my podcasts / music as it won't display artwork or artist on my 2017 Prius Prime. Also in my workspace, I get reception with my N8 (1 bar) and zero reception with my 2XL. I'm interested to see how your...

    Bluetooth issues

    Device Maintenance App?

    Switching to Note 8

    Paying $505 (after trade-in), my N8 is an outstanding bargain and a great device. I came from a Note 7 Edge which began showing signs of lagging and developed a verticle red line on the screen. I find the N8 to be everything mentioned above. That said, I've always wanted to try the pure...

    Unlocked Note 8 or AT&T carrier one from AT&T?

    Upgraded to an unlocked Note 8 from an ATT S7 Edge. After data transfer, I noted that the visual vicemail app did not transfer over. I searched for the app in the Google store but could not find it. Any help is appreciated.
