Things you've discovered on Note 8?

[WeAreAllUnique]

While I was using my s-pen I discovered that it makes sound like I'm scribbling on a piece of paper. I thought it was a cool touch. Anyone else find something?

Probably the worst kept secret but I have a habit of pressing on the phone where the home button is to turn the phone screen on. I discovered there is a haptic button there that will turn the phone screen on when the screen is off. Pretty cool

the charger plugs in both ways! Really is a good thing. And my Note 5 wireless charging pad works on the 8.

The battery optimizer notification is helpful, and will help extend the battery usage. Also certain apps are working better on this phone than they did on my Note Edge.

I noticed I don't have the usage widget that I had on my S7E. that was really useful to me. I'm kind of bummed it's not available now.

I know...... right?

Wake up in the morning, my beautiful Black note 8 is out of its Spigen case, and I start admiring the highest ever rated amazingly over the top infinity screen, download different wonderful wallpapers, and basically just gaze in awe of the display

Loving, loving, loving my Note 8!!!!!!!

You can't use voice commands with the camera if Bixby voice is enabled.

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

As big a hit as the Note 7 was with fans, this one seems an even bigger hit

Auto Rotate on

Auto Rotate on

Yes, auto rotate is on, but that is not what I'm looking for. You can now tap screen in YouTube, and can view the screen in full from top to bottom.

That's a bummer. I use voice most of the time while taking photos.

a lot of the edge features from the S7E and Note7 are not here also. It's mostly software, so I hope this gets some kind ofupdate to restore that soon. after all, it's still an edge device.

also, I think I'm noticing that the screen is a tad off center. my left edge has more of a black bar than the right side. It's thinner on the right.

I like that you can swipe to change camera from the front to back camera

You can just disable Bixby voice.
