Things you've discovered on Note 8?

[amyf27]

Ask Bixby to play the Star Spangled Banner and Bixby will beat box it for you.

LLol. Probably a copy from siri she beat boxes too. She says boots cats en boots n cats en. Corny but funny

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?

Mine doesn't do that. Is there a setting or something because that would be a cool touch....

Go to settings>advanced features>spen>scroll down to feedback>turn on sound. It is a low sound to me but I like it. Screen shot included

 

[Mama2Many]

Thanks. That is turned on. I did notice that if I put my ear right to my phone I can faintly hear the sound. wish it was a little louder.....

You're welcome. Yeah it it is a little too low. Maybe it will be louder on the note9.

Is there a setting where you can see when someone read your message? I thought mine did that before but I don't see it. I just see a setting to mark messages sent to the people you send to.

Are these instructions for stock text app? Cause I don't see any setting like this on my phone.

Yeah not on my Sprint Note 8 either.

I bought my Note 8 from Best Buy Canada and I have Virgin Mobile Canada.

 

[amyf27]

Mine tells me the time if I don't snooze it right away lol.

I have ATT in the US. I do have Advanced Messaging turned on but it only works if the other person has it turned on as well. Advanced Messaging tells me when my message is delivered, read, and when they are typing back.

Me too... love that feature!

 

[Mama2Many]

I just wish I could do that with every message sent to every person.

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

How did you get it to do the news? I cant for the life of me figure that one out!

 

[dzigner]

I asked Bixby to tel me a story....

View attachment 268984

It told me a comic story, about a farmer buying an S8 to wake his rooster up.

 

[dzigner]

Yeah, I have mine on edge, and icon shows current date.

samsung calendar shows, but I was using google calendar, which didn't show the date, just 31. So I switched to samsung calendar.

 

[dzigner]

Nowhere near the ease and functionality of Action Memo. I can't for the life of me understand why Samsung took that out.

I got the s-note, and looked at the video mentioned elsewhere for this. But cannot figure out how to get action memo?

I don't have the Delivery reports switch on my phone.

 

[UmmmWhat]

I discovered that every other phone out there has Oreo or at least a beta but we don't yet.
