Having 6GB RAM is amazing, I find apps I opened a day ago still open in the same place or file I was in back when I left it, no reloading or any of that crap, lol, and I just pick up where I left off.
Got a tip for us?

Thankyou!
How often do you clean up the memory as in closing unused apps?
The phone automatically does it every once in a while. I click the optimize now button every few days. I don't NEED to but I do it anyway.
Thankyou!!
You really know your way round this phone! I'm just getting started hence all the questions lol
You know for gmail on the phone...how do you set it so that it syncs just when you actually go to the app...basically is it set to that already or do you have to change it?
No my Alcantara Case feels just to niceAnyone else get tempted to just use this beauty naked?
I keep taking it out its case, I think at some point I'll actually go without a case, lol.
It's setup to automatically sync every 30 minutes. If you don't want that, you open the app, go to settings and click on the email you want to modify. From there it will give you an option to sync if your account is Gmail or if it isn't it will give you an option to control your sync frequency under the data usage header.
Verizon removes the device maintenance app on their Samsung devices. At least that's how my S8 was.
Will the Note 8 support Live wallpaper, like the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL? is this feature possible?
thanks
thanks
Live wallpapers have been supported on android for years. Any current android phone and many past support live wallpapers.
Hi
Is that not Dynamic wallpaper or 3D touch live wallpaper?
ie
not 'real' Live wallpaper as in the Pixel 2 & 2XL
Short of watching a bunch of biased YouTube video comparisons, DxO gives them scores of 94 and 88 respectively. https://www.dxomark.com/category/mobile-reviews/
I think you'd be hard pressed to see a huge difference in day to day usage.

THIS. Plus it helps keep my phone from sliding out of my pocket (especially while driving).
It basically helps take pictures of action shots without coming out blurry. It's not installed out of the box but you can download it thru the camera's settings.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that you could download other camera wizards.
yeah, it's cool you can do this and definitely a hidden gem. It does seem to help when trying to take a picture of an active 2 year old

Well I got my Note 8 back today.
It had light bleed on the left edge, technically not light bleed but an annoying refractive distraction.
I suggest all who use cases all the time to take their cases off and look at your phone in a dark room, move your Google bar up and down and if you see it glowing on the edges, get it sorted.
But beware, once you see it you cant unsee it.

At what screen brightness has everyone set their Note8??? I usually set it at around 40% but now put it at 50%,yet I must say though at anything above 50% the brightness is incredibly intense indoors, lol! This display is ludicrously bright, I love it 
Around 25% to 35% with auto brightness off. I simply turn auto brightness back on when I go outside.At what screen brightness has everyone set their Note8???

Is it just me or is the Iris Scanning getting faster???
I just picked up the phone in a meeting, I swiped it did not even bother showing the Iris scanning screen, it just unlocked as it was going to the Iris Scanning screen.
Really cool.
