It isn't Clean Master anymore. It's 360 Security (or something like that) now. Not like that's really any better, though!

Just going to add to B. Diddy's idea here: Check your RAM and power saving settings. I routinely have to exempt all of these kinds of apps from being put to sleep by the system, as it nukes notifications along with saving memory/battery/etc. Not worth it for me. Sammy has a built in optimizer...

It's pretty horrible that my husband's AT&T S7 just got oreo, and has a newer security patch level than my few months old AT&T S9. Say what you want about whether or not we *need* security patches -- you can say that right up til the next stagefright-level "hack" hits the news, except that...

My feed is broken since late yesterday as well. I get the "can't reach feed" error in the Google app and I cannot reset my feed preferences either; it just says network error, but my internet connection is just fine. All my other Google apps work fine. I've tried over Wi-Fi and mobile data...

I too have an S9 (not +), but I can't say I have the same experience with the battery. Mine gets fantastic battery life in standby -- maybe the issue is apps? I'm ridiculously picky about what I install, and even though I have a handful of apps that I will not permit the OS to put to sleep, I...

It took less than an hour for Smart Switch to copy everything from my AT&T S7 to my AT&T S9. Including 4gb of photos I forgot to tell it NOT to copy. Heh. I would concur with jgreg02, go to an AT&T store and have them properly activate the phone and put in a new SIM. From there, I would use...

Nice looking setup there. Very clean. I just can't get into the edge screen feature. I totally disabled it on my S9 because when I'm in apps, I accidentally keep grabbing it when I don't want to. Not. Cool.

Regular S9 here. No issue.

Really? I did some close up shots of small objects and managed to get a much sharper image (macro) with the S9 camera than I ever could with the S7. I haven't done anything outdoors yet. When it counts, I have a DSLR, so my phone is just for casual, spur of the moment stuff usually. If I really...

I got a lilac purple S9 and put a Spigen clear thin fit case on it. My only complaint is that it's rather slippery ... I may try the Spigen thin fit in the lilac purple to see if the grip is better.

Color is subjective and depends on what you view it on. My PC monitor is color calibrated, and your top photo reminds me of the ones I get out of my old S7 -- it's yellow shifted pretty noticeably. The S9 shot has a little more of a blue shift, so in both, the white balance is off. It's not...

Really? Suggesting root (which compromises security potentially as well as voids a perfectly good warranty).

I don't get the Oreo love-fest over notifications. I find them absolutely maddening on my new S9, which I generally love otherwise. I've lost so much notification control, I'd like to scream and jump up and down. I run an Etsy shop, so there are notifications that are really important to me --...

I don't think so, but I wish we could. It always plays at some horrible blaring volume, too.

I've used Nova for awhile, and I put it right back on my S9. Smart Switch copied my stock home screen configuration from my S7, but it wasn't complete, and I can't stand wasting the time to set up all of my home screens all over again. Nova backup/restore makes it take like one minute. I also...
