Things you've discovered on Note 8?

"Anyone know how to get YouTube to default to full screen without having to tap the screen?"


Mine does this automatically. May be depending on who you have. Mine is TMobile. If you go into settings and search for full screen apps, you can choose which apps you want to run in full screen mode. Mine is preset for Youtube to run this way and I can not change it, but I am thinking that is a carrier thing.

It's not really something that was "discovered", but I absolutely love the unobtrusive text message notifications! That small bubble is amazing, especially for such a large screen. Don't know if I'll lose it when I finally switch to another app from the stock one but it's helped keep me on the stock app

You can just disable Bixby voice.

Am really liking Bixby voice and quick commands we can create with it. Looks like it has lot of potential.

Another missing feature is that now i can't answer a call with voice. When I say"answer" on my note 5, call used to be answered in speaker mode. I miss that feature on note 8.

 

[Carrie Greicar]

I would imagine that's a Bixby voice function now

 

[jennifer]

yep, stock alarm. it's in the settings.

 

[jennifer]

Mine doesn't do that...I'll have to check the settings.

yes, i found it in the settings.

 

[jennifer]

Is that the stock alarm or did he install one.

sorry i hit reply too soon. yes, it's the stock one and in the settings.

I finally found it on my Sprint note 5. It's under each time you have set for an alarm. I have several set for different reasons and it was at the bottom of each time I had set.

Just discovered today that hovering the sPen over texts and emails pops open a bubble with the full message. I think that is a nice touch.

Same with pics. I would imagine, been a feature on last few Notes, it is a very nice feature

The lock screen. The LS will show the time in your HOME and the time where ever you are. Local time/Home time....

I have to admit there are some nice things under the hood. little surprises (good and bad) everywhere.

my phone had the small blue popup for a few messages and then went back to the big popup and I cant figure out how to change it back, I am using the stock samsung messages app.

I love that Bixby can chain together commands. For example.

Hey Bixby, Good night > Blue Light Filer + Do Not Disturb
Hey Bixby, Good Morning > Tells you day, date, weather, morning news, music

I can swipe down each and every individual email in the notifications to archive!!!! On my Note 7, I could only do the one email, and you would have to go into the app if you had more than 1 in the notifications window. This refers to the Outlook App and Gmail App

Love this feature too on my S8+. I know in the the notifications settings you can set all apps to be like that

Anyone got a screenshot of what you are talking about? I don't see it.

i don't know if it's new or not and my n4 didn't have it but, the alarm that says the time out loud when it goes off. my husband's alarm went off this morning and i literally woke up saying "whoa." haha have i been living under a rock?

Love this feature. It's the last feature when you're adding or editing an alarm.

Pull down your notification tray and it should be called Edge Lighting

Edge Lighting settings, notifications at the bottom
