    Battery is horrible today

    I have the battery going down really fast in one of our buildings at my work place due to poor cell signal. I see you have only one bar of the signal strength on your screenshot. Is your battery going down fast even with a good cell signal strength? Did your phone feels warm during those 43...

    What I hate about Oreo

    AT&T Galaxy S8 running Oreo here. I have no app info with Samsung Stock launcher. But I do have app info with Nova Prime launcher. So it is not Oreo. In my case it is a Samsung launcher :D

    Add caller to contacts in Oreo

    Uh, I see. Just tab on the number you wish to create the contact. Then you should see the additional items like - call, Message, Video call and or detail. Tab on "detail" and at the bottom you should have "create contact" or "Update Existing" or even "Block Number".

    AT&T Galaxy S8 ATT new software version, what it's all about?

    Yeah, I think Oreo (Google) removed the bulk clear all cache. Now that I slowly recall reading about it somewhere. Either individually or 3rd party app if you need bulk clear.

    AT&T Galaxy S8 ATT new software version, what it's all about?

    I see, I never noticed that option. At least I never cleared the cache from that screen. I always go to individual app(s) and clear it.

    Can't change messaging app

    Hehe, I was about to ask about that but never did. I was wondering the same thing if you actually click on the actual Textra app. I have been using Textra for long time now, worth the money spent on pro ads free version.

    Can't change messaging app

    Sorry :D I should have said "Cancel". Did you able to make Textra as your default app for text? Can you go to APPS > Default apps and able to click on Messaging app? This should give you choices of setting whatever text apps you installed on your phone and can select the one you want...
