    Volume

    Do what I did and check the volume with another set of headphones/earbuds. The sound without earbuds is loud on mine and I have a hearing disability. Earbuds make it easier for us deaf people and I'll use my old ones until the Samsung replacements come in.

    Make this stop

    The easiest solution is the stop eating over there. The grease level in your body will go down from one gallon to half a tablespoon!:cool:

    Volume

    I just posted about the earbuds/headset that came with my phone. They cut the volume in half compared to all the other earbuds I own. They were obviously defective and Samsung is send some new ones to me.

    Earbuds that came with the Note 8

    When I used them, I thought the person I was talking to had headset problems. Come to find out that mine were defective. They would cut the volume in half from the phone. I tested this with 4 other sets of headsets that I have the stock headsets muted the sound by half. I contacted Samsung...

    Note 8 screen much warmer than S8+

    Check your screen settings to see if your blue light filter is on. Usually you schedule it, but there's an option to leave it on all the time

    Simple Poll for those who Pre-Ordered - Good or Bad Experience?

    Preordered on the Wednesday before the release from Best Buy. I was the first jackass in the store on Friday (yesterday) morning because they didn't advertise that they opened at 8am. The salesman told me they would on Wednesday. Worked out well and I love the phone.

    light bleeding through capacitive touch buttons

    This won't fix the problem but it will solve it. There's an option to turn those lights off completely, which is what I did, and I haven't missed that feature yet. They pop on and off with every touch so it was distracting.

    When will the media and public's love affair with the iPhone end?

    My point was that while a person still owns an iPhone, he won't conceed that his phone sucks due to a point brought up here.Same with an Android phone owner. Lots of people switch from iPhone to Android and Andriod to iPhone. You hear about it after they do it. You don't hear them say that you...

    When will the media and public's love affair with the iPhone end?

    One thing you will NEVER see on this forum is for an Android or an Apple user say: "you know what? You're right. Your phone is better. I'm selling this junk phone and getting your phone tomorrow!" I still say a Silverado is better. Sell that Ford tomorrow.

    Kindle vs Nook. Just goes to show that we can all survive if everybody doesn't own what WE own. Talk well of your gizmo. Talking bad about the competition just makes you look like a tool. Or as the old saying goes "you can lead forum members to water, but you can't make them think.

    When will the media and public's love affair with the iPhone end?

    Chevy Silverado's are better than Ford F150s. I have a Silverado and I know it's better. It's also better because F150's are sooooo sucky. I mean, like, really? Mine is better because yours is worse. Simple. There's not enough room in this world for 2 kinds of trucks...much less throwing in a...

    Gmail has stopped displaying my mail live as it comes...any ideas why?

    Did you just upgrade to Jelly Bean? This works on a Note 2 for sure. Go to Settings, select Data Usage and hit the menu button: Check "Auto-sync Data" That should fix your email sync problem

    Photo notification

    I had no idea Google + had something to do with it. As Elvis would say, thank you. Thank you very much. And Almath, thanks for trying to figure it out with me.
