    S8+ on Vodafone UK - Security Updates.

    Hi guys I have the S8+ on Vodafone UK, and sitting with the March security update. Is that the last one we can expect, or should there be more to come? Is anyone on the April one at all? Thank you in advance. Tony.

    Vodafone UK

    Just a heads up friends. I'm on Vodafone UK contract, phone is locked to the carrier. I've just had a 560 odd mb update, got all excited, but it's just the September security update. Hope someone finds it helpful to know it's there.

    My individual contact notification tones disappeared after updating to Oreo?

    Ok, by deleting the conversation, it reset the notification. Dang !!! So the trick is to not delete the conversation ;)

    My individual contact notification tones disappeared after updating to Oreo?

    Good point. Hadn't thought of that. I usually only have a couple of conversations on the go at any one time. My mum, partner, kids and such. I've deleted my conversation with my partner, so that conversation is now gone. She's due to text me shortly, I'll find out when she does, if the...

    My individual contact notification tones disappeared after updating to Oreo?

    Apologies, only just come back to this. My post, was for Messages on Galaxy S8+. I've no idea how you'd access it, my phone updated to the version I mentioned, and I can now set an individual message alert tone per contact. Hope this works. ;) If you have the above version, open up a...

    Samsung have updated their sms/text application to version 4.4.30.5, you can now choose a message tone per person, plus other options.

    Bought Samsung S8 in August at Costco and have not received the $250 gift card yet.

    Although I'm UK based, my thoughts are these: 1 - Did you comply with all the purchase terms and conditions? 2 - Have you read the T & C's? Although I cannot find a Samsung offer listed on the Costco website, there is an Apple offer. Big companies change the offers, but rarely change how...

    Set photo as lock screen theme

    Please forgive an obvious point. You say the images are not too small. Have you checked? I assume you have, in which case apologies for doubting you, but I do mean it kindly. Did you actually check the pixel dimensions? The screen on this phone is large, and the image does need to be at...

    Set photo as lock screen theme

    When you say blurred, do you mean blurred, or pixelated? One is out of focus, and soft, the other is where the pixels are clearly visible as blocky squares. (Hope I'm not presuming your understanding of either here) Is it possible to get a screen shot? If it's pixelated, it could be because...

    Google Assistant's screenshot command

    just tried it, and it works great. I've set up an option to open an app, call my partner, call my mum, and it's really simple once you know how. Cheers for posting this.

    I'm sorry....

    I am going to miss using the 6p every day....it is still the best phone I've ever had. But was just starting to show it's age a wee bit. I'll be keeping it safe, and every now and then, take it out the drawer, turn it on, and push some buttons. For old times sake.

    I'm sorry....

    But I'm not really that sorry. It's a bit good. :)

    I'm sorry....

    So, with all the best will in the world, my upgrade date came, and I was faced with the choice of either sticking with my 6P (which I do love) or move on. I chose to move on.... I apologise. I still have the 6p and it will become my semi retired back up phone, but times move on.
