    OHHHHHHH. I had a friend tell me his S8 did it and I ended up getting a briefing alarm that works half the time. I like the briefing even if i forget about when i snooze.

    Is "OK Google" enabled with screen off?

    I believe it was off with the S8 and didn't bother for N8. However google release the app in the play store, after installing I tried it and it works just fine.

    Galaxy Note 8 vibrates when touching the magnetic dash mount

    Same happens for me. I believe the S pen is magnetic so this activates the simulation of removing/inserting the s-pen.

    Note 8: DILEMMA

    N8 with no regrets. The iPx is getting less and less appealing for me. I have the gear s3 watch and to me vs the ones I had before including the apple watch, it is the best choice to go with.

    Google assistant

    I like both Bixby and Google assistant on the N8. While I thought Google assistant already came installed on the N8 I downloaded it from the play store. I was able to unlock the phone by saying ok google. YAY, lets see how long this lasts. Bixby can be useful but I find google assistant...

    Ok the honeymoon period is starting to wear off....

    I had this issue with the S8+. But with N8 no issue. I also didn't installed all the apps from S8+. So its possibly there is a corrupt app/install causing you issues. Also, are you on high performance mode? uses more battery

    Ok the honeymoon period is starting to wear off....

    Back it up and reformat it. Im getting better battery life by the day. Maybe it finally settled in or something but I had 60% by the end of my work day. Yesterday I had 70%. Same use and all. Change the sim card, reset network settings etc. Possibly bad signal on your end.

    Customer reviews of the Note 8

    Battery has been fantastic. I'm loving the Pen. Sorry iphone X no pen no deal. The pen has saved me several times and frustration of copying text on a website. As much as i miss the iphone eco system for imessage and facetime the daily use gadget for me is the N8
