Have you tried using the built in smart switch app? Just go to settings/cloud and accounts/smart switch, and from there it will take you through a set up process to transfer everything over.
Got a tip for us?

Hopefully these aren't compressed too much pic some quick snaps I took yesterday at the Georgia 1/2 Mile Shootout.

No, I never thought about that! I'll have a go with it tomorrow, thanks.
Nice information. Do you know if the reverse is true, if you edit the note in Gnotes on the android device will it save it to iCloud notes?
[doublepost=1505705051][/doublepost]How durable have you all found the N8's glass back. What is it, gorilla glass 4? I usually get a rear skin, but I'm tempted to just used it naked. I don't mind swirls or light scratches as I expect it to tank in resale value no matter how pristine it is. I could care less about drop or impact protection as I am very careful, and if I'm not then I have squaretrade. It always goes into the same pocket which never has anything else in it. My concern is I frequently put it down on my desk and sometimes slide it around like that.
Might be good for those who don't like bixby...https://www.sammobile.com/2017/09/18/samsung-finally-lets-us-disable-bixby-button/
I tried to use Samsung pay today but didn't manage it. I need to go and watch a video and try it again tomorrow. I ended up using my Apple Watch in the end.
Samsung Pay is so freaking awesome. I use it pretty often because it damn near works everywhere.
Close to pulling the trigger...still 50/50 ugh
Problem is at full price now if you go to sell next year you will be lucky to get half back. At least wait for a cheaper deal.
Hmm there's something wrong with Samsung pay on my phone. When I slide up from the bottom it shows the card. The option to authenticate with a fingerprint is greyed out even though I have it set up in the settings. When I tap on either that or the pin option nothing happens.
My card was added successfully and I received confirmation from my bank.
There is a video being posted on some of the Android sites that shows just how many apps you can open and go back and forth to before apps start reloading. They were able to open and use 29 apps. That is amazing. The 6GB RAM performs well.
I have a Note 8 AND a S8+ and to me, both are incredible smooth in doing everything I do on them daily.
Sadly, they tend to not give you much credit for old phones.
I have three lines on T-Mobile. When I went to see how much money they would give me for each phone, they would give me $141 for the 6S+, $131 for the Note 5. Didn't think that was worth losing those phones so I didn't give a trade and just paid for my phone outright at the T-Mobile store on Friday.
It's on the Samsung upgrade program if i do it so you just trade in your note 8 and get the note 9 and carry on with the same payment I'm guessing.
Very cute kid!A few live focus pics I took yesterday
I just installed the ported Google Camera with HDR+. Works perfectly on the Note 8.

Anyone having issues with wireless charging? I decided to try the fast wireless charger yesterday that I got from Samsung with my pre-order and the phone would say "fast wireless charging" and the estimated time to complete, but the problem is, it wasn't charging at all. The phone was actually losing juice over time. So at work today, I'm trying my choetech wireless charger that worked great with my S8 but my Note 8 won't even recognize it... at all... i'd hate to have to do a factory reset but will do that this afternoon. So frustrating. Otherwise, everything about this phone is great! But I hope I don't have to go through the hassle of exchanging via Samsung.com
Aaaannnnd bye bye Bixby!

"Congratulations! Your submission has been approved." Then I see "review in progress" as my status under neath claim date in the Shop Samsung app. I am totally confused right now lol. I just want to see how long it takes for me to get my Gear 360 camera.
That sucks. If a factory reset doesn't do the trick, sounds like a defective unit. Nothing worse than getting a brand new toy and having to exchange it.
I agree. I had to replace a few S8's due to a really bad pink tint issue... so hopefully I don't have to do that here. Plus, I did the trade in a G4 for $300 off, so I hope that deal doesn't get messed up.
