    Note 8 to iPhone X?

    I tried the Note 8 and I will still say that it has the finest display I’ve ever seen on a phone. I just found (like I do every time I switch) that I prefer iOS to Android. If the Note 8 ran iOS, that could very well be the device I’m using rather than the iPhone X. Whatever the case, iPhone X...

    Galaxy advert.

    I use and prefer Apple devices but I found the ad humorous. But of course, I’m a little older and I come from a time when we could poke some fun at ourselves and each other without being called hate mongers, racists, and any kind of phobe you can imagine. I love today’s technological advances...

    iPhone X hype train

    I have owned both devices and for me it’s mainly my preference for iOS that keeps me with the X. I think the Note 8 has the most beautiful display of any phone I’ve ever seen, and I think it’s a fine choice if you prefer the Android platform. For my use, Siri works better than google assistant...

    Need some convicting of keeping my Note8

    I tried the Note 8 and it was probably the nicest phone I’ve ever owned. However, I’m so bought in to Apple that it makes it very difficult to switch out. I ended up selling mine and going back to what I know. Good luck with your decision.

    Wireless charging over night

    I have the freebie that came with the Note 8 and I have no issues at all. Full charge and cool to the touch when I get up.

    Who's using an SD card?

    I'll use it when my freebie arrives. Still showing backordered.

    Things you've discovered on Note 8?

    Same. I just figured that was how it worked.

    Is the Note 8 worth upgrade???

    I've been an iPhone user for years. I love Apple's software and build quality of their hardware. I occasionally flirt with Android and always end up back with iOS. Got the Note 8 just to try it out and see how the other side lives and so far I'm very impressed. Personally, I feel that Siri is...

    Trusted Voice: Say 'OK Google' to unlock phone - not working with AOD enabled

    Bixby is very inconsistent as well, and you have to take the long way around to get Bixby to perform. For instance, to get directions on google assistant or Siri, you say the proper voice command and ask for directions and either will get you what you need. Bixby needs you to tell it to open...

    Trusted Voice: Say 'OK Google' to unlock phone - not working with AOD enabled

    I made a similar post earlier this evening and I’m finding the same to be true. With AOD it doesn’t work at all, even in a trusted location, but without it I can make it work. Sometimes on one try, sometimes two, other times not at all. Very inconsistent. Also on Verizon. Fantastic device aside...

    Any way to unlock the phone with Google Assistant?

    I've done that and when I say "ok google" I hear it beep but it won't actually do anything until I manually open the screen. From the aod, whether the phone is technically locked or not it won't come off of the aod. Going to try with aod off and see if anything changes. EDIT: Tried with aod...

    Any way to unlock the phone with Google Assistant?

    Hey guys and gals, Long time iPhone user playing with a Note 8, flirting with the "dark side." I'm seeing a lot of things I like and a few I'm not so fond of but the overall experience has been surprisingly pleasant so far. I can see why people prefer one os over the other based on what you...

    Wireless charging has stopped working

    I returned the Samsung Rugged case and got a Bodyguardz case after seeing how it looked on a friend's note. Very pleased with it and wireless charging works flawlessly with it.

    Note 8 trade in offer status for Samsung.com orders

    What KupKrazy said. I think the 425 is a given as long as your phone meets their criteria. No cracks, holds a charge, isn't locked, etc... Received my Note on Tuesday and shipped my iPhone 6s today.

    Samsung Pay vs Android Pay -- which one are you using?

    Samsung Pay is the main reason I bought the Note 8 instead of sticking with my IPhone.
