I have AT&T and I'm getting the error message.
[doublepost=1492850751][/doublepost]
It's an error message that keeps popping up after the update that was pushed out. It seems like it's an ongoing issue and happens when you are connected to WiFi it seems like. It's super annoying.

Might be worth a read?

Damn.
Honestly protecting the screen is going to be the deciding factor for me. I don't mind some compromise but the current glass or invisible tpu protectors are too much of a compromise (feel and quality). I just don't have the nerve to go naked when my pockets consistently have traces of sand in them.
Sorry to hear that. Btw I enjoy your vids man keep up the good work.
Yup. I mean the protector looks good don't get me wrong. Quite impressed with how it covers the whole curve etc. But even tapping on the screen i can hear the protector hitting the screen. Unsettling.
I've just took it off and you are completely right. Ahesive is only on the top bottom and round the edges so no wonder the bloody thing doesn't register touches. Terrible.
How do they get away with that?!
So yeah not very happy!
And like you, i don't like not having a protector on the screen just because i hate unsightly scratches and marks. And these screens are so prone to it.
Ah well will just have to chance it.
Still, the case i bought to protect the back is good. And a cut out for the fingerprint which always helps.
Must admit, I've never been a fan of screen protectors, always liked the feel of the glass, so many times I tried a screen protector only to take it off a month or 2 later, this going back to the S4 days.
As long as you have a protective cover/case with a lip on it, you should be fine, in my experience.
I do however miss the days I could use a naked phone, the S2 days were a good time, happily used it without a single but if protection on it.

Yep like you have tried several screen protectors on my S7E the glass ones with micro dots have a better sensitivity but any liquid or damp gets trapped between the screen and protector. The film ones soon orange peel and look fuzzy and some peel with contact with rear cases etc
Out of desperation I bought the S8 clear view but its quite thick and although it helps to locate the FP easily, a little too much pressure and it forces the case to separate for the stand mode flap. I though the case was faulty at first.
I just got the LED view cover which I did not realise has a built in LED display that has loads of options to change the LED's for notifications/apps/contacts, quite cute really plus you can design your own ones, clearance for sand particles is not improved over S7 cases, but like the S8 clear view locating the FP is simplified

That looks like a spam thing, have you installed any apps from outside of the playstore ?They only other issue I'm having is that this Pop up keeps coming up no matter what app image on. It's come up on both Tapatalk and Reddit. Any clue what this is and how to get rid of it? It comes up every 2 minutes.
Just had my 8+ delivered and yes it has a pink screen! It's not as bad as some of the pics on the net but it's definitely around the edges and top edge of the screen. Putting it next to my s7 on the same screen settings and you can see the difference.
Just notified my Carrier who were going to offer to exchange it but little point as the next one that is delivered could be exactly the same and I'll end up just going around in circles! Gonna wait to see if this software update fixes things otherwise it's going straight back for a refund and I'll go back to the iPhone.
After the issue with the note 7 you really thing Samsung would have ensured that nothing like this pops up but this could be another fiasco if the software update doesn't do its job.

There should be. Either in the app itself / settings or is there an option in the general settings for Samsung Internet ? Keep us posted.
Perhaps Smart Lock?Doesn't help when you have your phone in a cradle for the car, and can't face the phone or reach the sensor.
I always liked the look of the actual phone. I just wish Samsung went with the PlayStation buttons or at least something where the shapes aren't split apart in random locations.
How are you able to download apple music? I tried from the play store but it tells me my device is not compatible.
