That screen is viable for what 1. 5 seconds?

yup and ugly for that 2 secs +/- every time you want that menu. add it up over time. I prefer to spend that time looking at the beautiful screen and not a milky, useless overlay. it worked great on previous gens without blocking the screen.

O.K. - can we just agree to disagree?

I'm always that way, but also defend my right to an opinion. no one can tell anyone else what they should like.

That's why I said that - "Can't we just agree to disagree?" - in other words, we have differing opinions, that's all I meant!

As a former Blackberry fan with a love for physical keyboards, I am finding the S Pen is great for doing all my typing and texting. I am still hopeless with virtual keyboards and now I use my S Pen and pick away fast as can be. This is the best phone since by BB Classic in the sense that it is fun and entertaining with lots of little tricks to play around with. I fell in love immediately with my BB Classic, and the same has happened with my Note 8. I even sold my brand new Android BB Keyone to buy the Note 8 and I have no regrets.

It was tough for me to leave Blackberry after the Z30, but I love this phone (just like I loved the Note 7). If you get tired of using the pen for typing, you should get the Blackberry virtual keyboard. It's fantastic.

Thanks for that tip TX Jedi! I think I would download it right now.

Found another way to quick launch camera, under the AOD setting, double tap home button, please ignore if this is old news.

 

[jacker]

T-Mobile version doesn't have that.

 

[wordsm1th]

T-Mobile version doesn't have that.

Probably because it may be mapped to double click on power button, in India that is mapped to emergency call

 

[jb4kats]

I have T-Mobile and mine does

 

[jacker]

Hmmmm .. Then I got nothing.

Mine doesn't have that either and it's a T-Mobile phone.

Just watched a video bout s-pen tip. Can open camera & view text then click pen & translate what is showing in camera - techisode TV.

 

[Jetta392]

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

I noticed you can't do certain things if this or that is turned on. Try to turn on magnification gesture and it will show a list of things that won't work if it's on. Don't know why Samsung does this.

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

 

[Jetta392]

holy merde! it now takes writing a number down and going to settings and adding the number by hand, in order to block it. who came up with that brilliant move? that's why I have a N8, but I shouldn't have to write the number down when it's right there on the screen. they took away the option to block from the area where delete is and you can only select and not copy. so so dumb. this alone might make me return it. wow. so retarded.

At the right of the screen where it says enter phone number there is a symbol. Press it and it brings up the list of recent phone calls. You can then choose the numbers you want to block by first long press and then you can choose multiple numbers to block.
I don't know why Samsung did it that way but I do like the fact that you can also add a phone number manually that is not on the recent call list or not in your contact list.
