Things you've discovered on Note 8?

[jnyvio]

Mine appears to work perfectly fine though it's not as customizable as you say it used to be anymore

Does yours look like this and your setup

Thank You!! Working perfectly here as well on my T-Mobile Note 8... All customizations are available... This is great as the changes effect the music player and I can now choose my own color and not go by album cover color.. Again, all options are available and working.. Nothing is greyed out.. What a great find!!

I can't set a mp3 as a ring tone

Interesting. I can. Down the bottom of the selection screen, select from phone, I think it says.

I have question for the guys who have got their phone. I only going to receive the Note 8 and the wireless charger. The memory card still says Pre-order. do you have any idea, when am I going to receive the memory card?

I didn't get that gift, I asked for the Gear 360, came on Saturday.

Both are missing on my AT&T Note 8 also.

Yup, me too.

I discovered that I've been on iOS so long I've completely lost any prior android knowledge I had. I'll be doing a LOT of reading here and watching YouTube videos to get reacquainted.

I did some searching and found that edge lighting is broken on the Note 8. I could never get it to work on mine either. It used to work on the St Edge but then they did an update that did away with edge lighting so it no longer exists on that phone.

I also have an S8+ and it doesn't exist on that phone either. I wish they would fix it for the Note 8.

Mine works pretty fine. Make sure you select the apps you want to use it. I selected all my apps. The app that it doesnt work with is FB messenger. I love that it changes color based on the app now

I went back and checked my setting. I had the transparency set to high so it was invisible. Set it to low and now I can see it.

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

I love this (not the exact content, but the fact that Bixby will tell stories)!

I just changed my settings on find my mobile and when I went back to the settings screen I have a purple icon for mobile hotspot (black Samsung theme) along with the white ones.

I pre-order 2 unlocked N8's. I'm on AT&T. There seems to be no wifi calling or VVM. Am I missing something? Does anyone know a hack for this?

I have to say... The best Thing I Discovered so far...... Is this thread and the knowledgeable folks that keep contributing to it.... A wealth of information.. Thank you..

There are just SO many things I've 'discovered' so far. In the way too cool app category I found (from a YouTube reviewer) an app called Fingerprint Gestures that allows me to use the fingerprint sensor to turn on the flashlight with a double tap! Love this!! Can't tell you how many times I needed to use the flashlight on my last phone (N3) and had to fumble around in the dark to turn the phone on, open the app or widget and turn on the light. Now, double tap the fingerprint sensor and voila - flashlight on! Double tap again and it goes off.

My status page still says "Processing Gift" - but we're still within the 6-8 weeks they claim it will take to ship.

My registeration says "pending" but today I had an email saying I am registered and the charger and SD will arrive within 6-8 weeks. The website has not updated.

Not that I'm that excited about getting my free gift which I have already received it I pre-ordered the first day and registered the day I got my phone with Samsung and within maybe 10 days I had this camera? I'm not really that interested in it but I'm glad I pre-ordered because I still wouldn't want to have to sit and wait six to eight weeks to get a free gift. But I have done that before with the 7 edge with the Note 7 and the S8 plus I had to wait on every free gift they offered with those phones.
