For me that is correct, at least for contactless payment and access cards.

As a quick update, took the phone to a Samsung Service centre and after running a few diagnostics, I was told that both phone and battery are perfectly fine and that I'm not eligible for a replacement of either. Very odd...

N/B: I'm based in the UK so my phone has the Exynos not Snapdragon.

Last night, I did an experiment. I turned off mobile data over night and only left on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Went to bed at 11pm with 100% and woke up with 75% at 6am. For simple standby, is this not a rather high battery drain?

Very interesting. Over the holidays, I've spent most of the day at home where I have terrible reception. So you actually suggest turning mobile data off and just using Wi-Fi when in low reception areas?

By way of update after using the phone for a few weeks months now. Battery life is pretty abysmal in my view. Not sure whether this is a general Android problem due to an inefficient hardware/software relationship but battery life generally feels very poor to me. For example, I unplugged my...

Experiencing precisely the same issues with my Note 8. Even more frustrating is though that we tried taking pictures with my wife's iPhone 8 (regular, not plus) in the same situations and there is no blur in those pictures. That said, in perfect light conditions, the Note 8 takes better pictures...

Shisan, are you using a case or do you have a contactless payment or access card close to the phone?

I am more concerned about the Gmail web application rather than on my phone. Is it possible to prevent specific suggestions coming up there?

Does this also work for contact suggestions in Google Calendar? Was always wondering how to delete those as there's no handy "x" as in Outlook for instance.

I was wondering why there are so few flagship models available with dual SIM in the UK. When searching online, a lot of the arguments I can find are about loss of profit because of roaming charges or uneven network coverage. However, when looking at the continent (Germany for instance), most...

Anyone? EDIT: It appears that this only affects my Google contacts on my Note 8. When logging on to Google Contacts on my PC, everything appears to be normal.

Same here on Note 8. Also since earlier today.

Hi Community, I'm having a very weird problem that I discovered through my Note 8's merge duplicate function. Out of nowhere it appears that in my Google Contacts (using the Samsung Contacts app), some phone numbers of existing contacts were added to other contacts at random. Whilst I can...

To answer my own question, the Mate 10 Pro is only available in grey and as single SIM in the UK. Shame, I would have loved to buy this phone!
