your Top 3 favorite Oreo features, capabilities ?

First of all it's not a Squid. It's an Octopus. 8 legs, version 8 get it? Crappiest Easter egg ever.

Also I see no Oreo cookie. It's orange rings.

Is the official name for O octopus and no one told anybody? They must not have been able to make a deal with Nabisco for the use of the Oreo trademark like they did for KitKat. Seems really odd for there to be an octopus.

They could have just had little android man with his lady pop out 8 baby droids. Would have been a bit more entertaining than the octopus.

how do we access that? the Easter egg?

settings - about phone - software information..... keep tapping it and it pops up

I believe Android 8.1 has the Oreo Cookie instead of the orange rings (8.0.0) from an article I saw...

Picture in picture is very cool

How exactly does the "new" picture in picture differ from the picture in picture us note users have had for the last 5 years?

I like that auto-restart is back!

If you're thinking "Picture in Picture" is the same as the "Split Screen" we've had for a long time, it looks like "Picture in Picture" is going to be more flexible as to sizing the windows etc. than split screen was.

Yea I'm not sure what the big deal is. This is one of the features that was always a Note thing since the Note 1

Great Video... still doesn't work for me! I tap and long press... doesn't matter how many times I tap then long press - NOTHING! Just the stupid rings! And note jhimmel, in article, it says Octopus!

Tap each ring over and over like your beating a Bush! That's what I have to do to them rings to get my octopus.

Add up all of the above.....basically Oreo gave us something between buckleys and stuff-all...

it's calamari on a dinner plate no matter how many legs it was born with

Finally. Based on that, I got it to work!

So there really IS a benefit to the Oreo upgrade!

That must be provider dependent.. I've always had auto restart

verizon just allowed it. Wasn't there before.

verizon just allowed it (auto-restart). Wasn't there before.

what, where is the setting to set that up?
does it make that loud vibrate buzz when restarting??
(if yes, then i should not set to restart at 3am or it will wake me up from sleep)

Settings, General Management, Reset, and at the bottom Auto Restart (toggle on) and then you can choose a time. I have mine set but I do not know about vibrate and buzz sound. When you have questions about things like auto restart, just ask Bixby. I did that when you asked your question as I couldn't remember where the setting was.

Thanks. I just turned that feature on and left the default every Monday at 3am so let's see if it wakes me up or not.
