samsung really is quite aggressive with memory management eh? reminds me of huawei. Might as well just 2 gb of ram.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good Android walkthrough? Picked the S8 up yesterday and haven't used an Android phone ever. Not really sure what some of the best apps, settings and shortcuts are.
Been using Windows phone for the past 4 years, so mostly just trying to get used to what all I can do with this. Examples are stuff like home screen customization, the difference in the app selection screens (guess one is shortcuts, the other is all) and where to turn off/on quality of life settings (like foreign language keyboards or location detection in the main OS)
Loving most everything about the phone so far. Is the Samsung stuff worth getting signed up for? Before switching I read that a lot of the Samsung OS stuff is bloated or broken.
Thanks for any help!
Dont' remember how the samsung homescreen is at launch. I think its swipe up or down will bring up a list of all your apps that you can swipe left and right to navigate. If you want to put on home screen, hold the icon down and you can move around, put over other apps to create folders.
holding down anywhere on the homescreen will bring up more options and settings, and you can put widgets down too, which quite a lot of apps have something.
Best apps, well... thats a bit vague. There are official apps for all the social media platforms you use, and good 3rd party ones too for twitter or reddit etc.
Settings, the nice thing about it, is that there is a magnifying glass at the top right, and you can just search for the key terms you are after, 'keyboard' etc.
It's worth having a samsung account. bixby is trash, but most of their other stuff is good or better than google equivalent imo.
samsung account lets you get themes, and use samsung pay (if you are in a country that supports it), which is super convenient, and nets you reward points for just using them, can redeem for gift cards and what not.
visit the android OT if you have more general app questions or what not.
