Reply to vid and comment on color post. Samsung actually gives you control to set your phone to more natural colors. They even give you an auto to go between the three different settings. Not only do you get natural view, you save some battery life, while you are at it.

All the usual suspects make S8 cases, including slim and clear. I imagine S7 edge and note 7 owners might have some tips on how delicate the curved edges have been. Let's face it all the real drop cases rated for like six feet are not super slim (seidio dilex vs thin surface, otter box...

I can't even use gear vr long enough to watch a movie without overheating on S7. Does the s8 run cooler longer? I wanted to like gear vr, but 10-30 minutes until overheat in a 40-50 F room and I decided to stop risking phone damage. Plus its too loud to take it in and out in a room with...

I have not had a tempered glass on my own device. I like ghost armor. Safer in a broken glass situation, than glass on top of glass. When I've gone to a ghost kiosk, I often see someone who left their shattered tempered failure while getting trusty polyurethane replacement. Stuff is super...

They removed the hdmi out ports from the few phones, casting, mirroring etc so many ways and still so many limitations. Not sure if this dock is the solution. I first got a smart phone to, supplant a laptop on a certain trip. I want this to succeed, but I see the obstacles, too.

That's just it; I don't get a full days use and I'd still want more than one (especially considering the charge at 40%or decrease life on battery that's hard to replace). So I have to charge multiple times a day and lug a battery bank which is heavier than a phone with a better battery or...

I'm surprised there is not a rose gold. I want pink and green chameleon . . I voted orchid.

I only ever had ir blaster on my LG G4. It's definitely a handy feature. Replaceable batteries are better than battery banks and battery cases, too. I guess as more things get smarter, they'll connect another wireless way.

Themes work on S7 with nougat, should work on S8. Or as Tim said there's other launchers and ways to use the icons of your choosing. I've been changing them out for simplified, clear, glass, see through, outline stuff, for so long I can't even remember what phone or which android I was on when...

Re: Are you buying the Samsung Galaxy S8? I'm not going to get S8. Not into the edges. My S7 is still new and requires me to wait. Taller phones are of dubious value. Glass is crack of ***. Biometric fallacies. Sticker shock.

Congrats op, on your decision. Google Assistant, which is available even on S7, is a strange reason to pick pixel over s8. I say this as someone who has long found 32GB to not be enough for my apps and would love to root and uninstall useless stuff like s voice. For me personally, I'll just be...

Thanks for sharing. I miss battery life so sweet, I could charge every 2-3 days. I charge my S7 2-4 times a day, so I even miss G4 battery swapping, though not boot loop. The S7 + power bank are heavier and more unwieldy than carrying extra batteries or a beefy phone.

The nougat update has been a wreck. I'm on tmobile, but I had the leisure of manual update and I was still messed over. Even if I had not opted for manual update code, it took me 3 days to clear the 1.5 GB of space needed, not updating would have been as simple as not enough space. While...

I'm experiencing that. No idea how to change to smaller expansion. Most I generally do is glance. I do not use the feature really. I swipe for Samsung pay or unlock, I usually go deeper into notifications after unlock. Settings, only see show, hide, do not show and pick your apps

I've had problems at home Depot (some other places) , one also had it work at home Depot. Thanks for the whole chip only Intel. My current working theory is that it has a harder time working on abused terminals (see DMV) that sometimes have trouble reading regular swipe cards. Rougher...
