    I have a Gear S3 Frontier watch...no use for AOD. I just look at my watch!

    Holly Cats, Dogs, Cows, and Pigs

    Had the S6 edge and the S7 edge. Neither lasted long due to poor battery life and lag. Almost gave up on Samsung but took a flyer on the S8+. Agree with OP entirely - WOW! Zero lag, great battery life, buttery smooth. Definitely a few niggles that they could fix (more responsive...

    Galaxy S8+ on Xfinity Mobile

    You can only use the Xfinity Mobile service with an S8 that they sell you with is a MAJOR negative to the service. You can't bring your own phone. That will keep many of us away.

    glass screen protector needed

    Tech Armor 3D (case friendly version if you have a case). So far, so good after more than a week.

    installation of screen protector

    I've tried a few and Tech Armor (Case Friendly) has been the best so far with my Spigen case. It's stayed perfectly on for over a week now.

    BlackBerry Hub not showing all text

    I had to delete the Blackberry Hub from my S8+. It just wasn't reliable in notifying me about incoming email. I turned it off for Battery Optimization to prevent it from going to sleep and that helped "some" but it still stayed quiet when it should have.

    Tempered Glass for S8+

    I've been through a few but the Tech Armor (be careful - the case friendly version if you use a case!) has held up very nicely a week in now. All the others fell off within seconds.

    The gorilla glass on the S8 scratches very easily

    After going through a few of them, use the Tech Armor case friendly tempered glass. First one that's held on for more than a few minutes - so far, so good after almost a week on my S8+ with a Spigen case.

    Upset with the positioning of Bixby button

    I have the same issue but I often hit the Bixby button when I just go to pick up the phone. VERY annoying!

    S8+ Gmail Sync Issue! Doesn't sync nor give notifications on a timely basis

    Click "Add Apps" at the bottom of the Unmonitored Apps section in Power Saving Mode so you can add Gmail to the unmonitored Apps. Let us know if that works!

    S8+ Gmail Sync Issue! Doesn't sync nor give notifications on a timely basis

    This is the phone being too aggressive with power saving. I had the same issue with the Blackberry Hub and fixed it. Go to Settings and search for "Power Saving Mode" (it's also Device Maintenance>Battery>Power Saving Mode). Go to the bottom of the screen and select "Unmonitored Apps" and...

    Wrong about the 8+ (Crow tastes good)

    Thanks for your post. Agree with your assessment. I'm super impressed with my S8+ so far!

    so i like the fingerprint sensor placement.

    With a case, it's actually in a great spot since the edge of the case opening allows your finger to line up perfectly on the fingerprint sensor!
