got it, that could be significant for some apps. thanks.

the stock power management utility also allows you to put apps to sleep. once you set an app to sleep when not in use, it looks to be always asleep if I'm not using it. can you expand on what is better about greenify? i never used a third party power app before btw so curious why it's even...

i can understand the op's point, especially if multitasking is needed, but the behavior described is actually a good thing for a phone. otherwise you can have too many apps eating up memory that you don't want. the phone doesn't know the user intends on multitasking back and forth. there was a...

assuming you are referring to the samsung branded standing pad, I have two and they both quick charge the S8. I read here that quick charge does not work while the screen is on, can't confirm or deny this since my screen has never been on while on the pad. The new version I believe is in leather...

Came from a S6 edge. I picked it up recently and I miss the smaller size and weight. I had stayed away from the Note line for the same reason, this S8+ is starting to weigh on me. Pun intended. There just isn't enough of an upgrade to this phone for me to love it.

that looks nice and ultra thin, might have to check this one out myself. already got the Spigen hybrid case, which I loved on my S6, but never noticed it does add to the size of the phone because the S6 was so much smaller than the S8+.

that's a killer price with the plugs included, thanks for posting. just ordered two. didn't think to check before ordering, but amazon shows that as fast charging only for specific units and that description doesn't include the S8. i'm assuming that's because the ads were printed before S8 was...

The Android OS does seem high on the list for my S8+, which I never noticed on my S6. But this is only about four days of use since I got it and so I assume it's all the changes I made settling in with new apps and such. I'm almost certain the Android System was always mid to high on my usage...

one thing that eats up battery life is the Google Market app. So many apps push updates so often, it's downright annoying. That's a different topic for a different day, but does the iPhone apps push updates as much as Android apps do? this would be a difference maker at so many levels, including...

lol, I just learned what SoT stands for. now i'm in line with everyone else's posted times. :p

coming from a S6 edge. I'm still on my original charge, but running FHD instead of WQHD for this run. Light usage compared to what it will get in regular use, but going on 1d 7h 19m with 18h 33m left to go (37% remaining). I will be switching to WQHD once I get it on a charger, will there be a...

http://samsungpromotions.com/infinitelyimmersive.html#register either register at the link above or download the Shop Samsung app on your phone and register there. Either way you will need a copy of your receipt that you can upload. Plus it will ask for your phone's IMEI number and WiFi Mac ID...

another long time Nova user here since the S3, but on my current S6 I've actually been using the stock TouchWiz with themes applied and i like it. i'll be using stock on the 8+ for awhile before making any changes. i remember trying apex when it first launched and didn't like it at that time...

take ur logical thinking out of here buddy. :p curious about the other lock options on this phone, iris scanner and i thought there was a face recognition function like Windows laptops. potentially wont even need the fingerprint scanner, but i got so used to it on my S6. can't wait to get this...

uh oh, where are u guys seeing this? I opted to pick it up assuming that would be faster than waiting for the delivery man! :mad: ---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ---------- me three at best buy two weeks ago. i was sure i wanted the S8 until i...

reading the last page of this thread, PSA: the gray is not straight gray. it has a light purplish tone. the guy at the store called it "violet" and had to clarify is gender neutral. take that fwiw. i noticed the color right away, but not from all angles and would be different under better light...

i placed my order at Best Buy and not online, so the rep did the order for me. he was reading things off and for a moment he thought he put the wrong phone in (S8 instead of the S8+) but confirmed he got the right phone. unfortunately for me he stopped and did some key punching and it went back...

i looked at all the purchase outlets and buying from Samsung directly does mean you'll get it sooner than anyone not buying directly from Samsung. By one day. 4/20 if u bought direct from Samsung, 4/21 for everyone else. ---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17...

big fan of spiegen cases and that would look fantastic on the arctic silver version. unfortunately i got the black one so will probably end up ordering the standard black hybrid bumper case again. great case on my S6.

this is me too. internal workings aside, size of the phones are quite similar from the 7 to 8, but a nice noticeable upgrade from a 6, which is what I have. haven't pre-ordered a phone since the Galaxy line launched, so looking forward to this delivery. i was surprised how close the sizes are...

thanks for the reply. i tried this and having the same result. this is the strangest thing i've ever seen. while the phone is on everything i try looks "successful" but as soon as the phone reboots it's like it forgot. this probably just means the changes never took place but for some reason...

I think I may have a brick on my hands. Is there a way to format my internal storage through adb or other methods? the phone works, sort of, but the internal storage is not recognized by the system and no changes can be made to it by programs or my recovery. Wiping the SD card through various...

are you rooted? I had that same problem for days before I realized unrooting will fix that. Despite what a lot of trusted posters have said here and other forums, having root and no other changes will cause that. I used voodoo ota rootkeeper (free on market) to unroot and I had the OTA installed...

that how i'm reading it too, it doesn't sound like i will be required to change my data plan until i upgrade again.
