Is there a SMS app that i can use that lets me use stickers with my wife's iphone? i could have sworn i heard about one
Thanks for this! I now use the Bixby button for my flashlight.👍
Awesome! Also lol at that app program.
Nice. I think I'll eventually sell the Gear VR. I don't think I'll want mine, but it's temping to try.
I gave the Samsung help desk a call today to get a status on the promotional order. The rep told me that I shouldn't worry and that I should receive the approval email with instructions on how to redeem the $99 offer. They said they are pushing them out soon and the regular VR offers are being pushed out sooner than the $99 offers.
She also said it will be much quicker than 4-6 weeks. I guess I just need to hang tight. *Sigh*
Do you guys think 4GB of RAM will be a bottleneck for this device? The OnePlus has 6GB of RAM, whereas the mid-range ZenFone 3 already has 4GB as well.
RAM isn't the issue. Samsung is just crazy aggressive with memory management, probably to help with battery life. Wish there was an option to go the opposite.
My 4gb pixel is way better at keeping apps up.
Oh, that's actually a plus for me. I much prefer battery life than keeping multiple apps open.
However, the battery is non-replaceable. I'm extremely wary that the battery will be dead in 2 years, necessitating an upgrade. In fact, this is why I'm considering updating my phone right now as it can't hold charge.
To me this is price is just to much, it offers basically no protection, its bizarrely shaped - and all the colours look terrible on the (gorgeous) phone.
I don't think it s a bottleneck, or will be in the foreseeable future, but it feels like my phone is ALWAYS using 3GB+ of RAM. Not sure if it's caching stuff or what, but it seems odd, although it hasn't caused any problems.Do you guys think 4GB of RAM will be a bottleneck for this device?

Currently using Nova Launcher, the nav buttons look like ass in that grey color with my background. Is there any way to change it?
Anyone getting weird text rendering in Chrome when using the S8+ in landscape more? Only happens on the far right like in this shot
The far right is always wrong, clearly... Hurrr..
So I've been with my S8+ for a little over a week now and I love it. However I'm coming off 6 years with an iPhone and one trasition that's really throwing me off is text messages. I initially did a transfer from my iPhone to my S8 and immediately the Samsung texting app blew up on me. Took minutes to load a text I just typed and crashed, likely loading all of my conversations (as I rarely delete it since I never noticed a drop in performance on my iPhone). I shopped around and landed on Android Messenger but my wife who still is in an iPhone out texts me every time. Mid conversation her texts coming flying in while my previous responses are still trying to send. I can't figure out if I'm just going about this wrong or what. I have more messaging apps to try.
If I had the option I'd like to keep them as I have done threads that go back to 2012. I'm not opposed to it full on since at the very least I know I have them all stored in my iCloud backup at least.Never had an issue with messaging. I personally use Textra, out of all the apps I've tried including Android Messenger, it is my top pick. Only other thing I'm guessing is the import messing up somehow, is it necessary to keep all the old texts?
Yeah I would just delete them off the phone. Maybe importing the messages did something wonky.If I had the option I'd like to keep them as I have done threads that go back to 2012. I'm not opposed to it full on since at the very least I know I have them all stored in my iCloud backup at least.
How??Just watched a 21:9 movie from Netflix on here for the first time...this is what love feels like. What a miraculous experience.
Took them about 4 hours to approve the claim under Samsung Premium Care and ship the replacement for the cracked screen on my S8+.
I'm really impressed. Worth it.
99 each time, can get it replaced up to 3 times every 12 months.What's the deductible?
That red tint...jeez!!!
That's the Blue Light filter I think, it's great.
I work in a phone store, and since I do, something the owners offer their employees is that we can buy a phone and pay in installments. And honestly, the Galaxy S8 is really tempting me.
The only thing is that i INSIST on getting the Orchid Grey. It's Orchid Grey or no deal. Which we don't stock at the store. So I'm hoping maybe he can order one, just for me?
I've never really had a high end phone. For the longest time I was using really cheap low end phones, and before that I didn't have a cell phone at all. But the Galaxy S8 is just so sleek, so powerful, so sexy...it's just calling out my name.
Got my s8 edge plus today from Verizon. They hooked me up with a case, screen protector and a portable charger as promotions. Are there any others out there.. I'm sure many have asked.. I'll go back a few pages and edit this..
Also main question... does someone know how to change the notification bar Color to black?
You can tweak dpi in developer options.How to change the dpi?
Is there a way to unlick the phone via iris scanner without swiping up after pressing the home button?
You can use a theme on the phone I guess. Don't know what exactly that changes thoughGet the black Galaxy S8. I don't really like black phones but it is by far the best color and blends seamlessly with the screen.
Still trying to figure that out myself, I've got everything black but the notification bar. smh
You can tweak dpi in developer options.
Yes to the iris scanner option. It's a setting in that menu.
When did you put in your claim? My order has been placed since the 22nd and I still don't have a shipping notification. Has something happened on Samsung's end with orders? I've never tried VR and now I'm slowly losing interest in it. I even paid the $99 full experience. I feel ripped off at the moment.Got my free Gear VR in the mail today.
Ah true, could be (I use it as well, it is pretty nice). Was thinking it was too early for it but obviously that user could be in Europe/Asia, which would make sense then.
