Ok so fiannally thats resolved.now my last question why does the battery not last long?my note 4 battery destroys the note 8. Any way to make the battery last more than a few hours?

Location/GPS is very power zapping especially if you are inside so check if that is on.
I bought mine from a UK vendor on Amazon but it is an international dual SIM ( nice surprise) from Italy so not sure if the software could be slightly different from your

^^ I'm wondering why your not getting a full five bar signal on your screen? Seems like your location/signal strength may be the problem on both fronts.

How to fix the battery life. The phone only lasts7 hours

^ Check your signal

My signal on note 8 is fine.
Just the battery is bad

I guess I'm worried about nothing and it's normal for the note 8 to have a **** battery

Your signal is NOT fine. Contact your carrier

Its fine lol i have 3 phones all on ee s8 plus note 4 s7 edge they all get 3 bars in my house. My house sucks for ee .uk

I guess the poor battery life is just how the note 8 is supposed to be.i think ill sell it as the note 4 is much better

 

[ThrottleJohnny]

You're okay with 3 bars? lol

Okay, good luck to you.

I'm in the UK and have noticed this too (my S7 Edge was absolutely spot on location wise, whereas the Note 8 is a few miles out). But I'm not too worried - loving this phone!

His signal could be fine for his location you don't always get full signal.

Can I suggest trying battery save mode it does help

I had same issue in US. Bought the phone in a town a few miles away from where I live. When I got home it kept giving me info for the town I bought my phone, not where I live. I touched the city location under the cloud/weather icon and it switched the town to where I live. Seems like I did that a few times over a couple days, now it seems to work fine. Not sure if the app was auto updated or not at some point.

Every Galaxy I've owned, except for the Note 8 has shown the adjacent town. The Note 8 is this first one to show the correct town. But for the earlier ones that showed the adjacent town, it was a very simple fix. Just go into settings and add the town you want and then turn off Use current location.
