I got that one, similar size of doodah. No carrier lock.

SwiftKey issue still present

Tephnos · 15 Feb 2018 at 16:36

Anyone know good aftermarket cables for charging? The stock cable isn't quite long enough to reach my charging pod comfortably from the bedside socket, and I've heard there are a lot of dubious cables on the market. From what I hear, the Anker Powerline is one of the best on the market for keeping the full charge functionality of the stock cable intact. Can anyone here confirm?

Techmatte and AmazonBasics have been working well for me since I bought them for my Note 7 (RIP).

Ah, okay.

Also additionally, seems my always on display just decided to stop working randomly today. Didn't do anything, all the settings are on correctly, and even tried a hard reset and it's still not working. Is this a common software problem atm or something?

Edit: Scratch that, I'm retarded. Just noticed the time and the default timer setting I hadn't seen before...

What is the swiftkey issue, I use it on mine and it seems to work ok?

Auto predict is completely out of whack, struggling to type this on my phone.

I'm really not liking my note at the moment, for supposedly one of the top phones out there, I can't wait to get rid of it. I'm going to try and change the launcher, see if that helps, what launcher would anyone recommend as a replacement for touchwiz?

Had mine for a few weeks now. Tried living with the stock laucher, tried the Google launcher and the Pixel launcher but in the end came back to Nova launcher.

I've used it on all my android devices for years now. I use a single home screen with weather forecast, calendar and dock. People and Apps edge panels.

Bixby button remapped to torch and Google Assistant.

Nova Launcher - Best out there. Better than any stock launcher.

Mujja · 27 Feb 2018 at 14:31

Also switch to Gboard or some other keyboard. I find the Samsung keyboard makes to many errors when using swipe\glide typing, even when using the stylus.

Just had a new update on my Note 8 (O2) 196mb. cant notice any differences.

nightmare99 · 1 Mar 2018 at 10:08

Gboard, just need to get used to adding a space after a full stop. I'm used to it now.

Robzere31 · 2 Mar 2018 at 19:02

Just downloaded Gboard to see if it's any better than swiftkey which has become rather unpredictable recently.

Only a month left of Q1 and still no Oreo, typical Samsung

Even though I don't own this phone this still saddens me considering its their Flagship device.

brendy · 5 Mar 2018 at 15:08

Why do we need Oreo on our GN8s? I'm pretty happy with how it runs on 7.1.1

doodah · 5 Mar 2018 at 15:16

Errr because we're geeks and want the latest and greatest

Plus I have noticed a bit of Samsung lag on my N8 now - like clockwork.
