Galaxy Note 8

I might also add. After 10 minutes of using it in that cover I immediately put it back in the rugged case.

The case makes the buttons feel so much nicer than the phone itself.

And the overall feel of the phone is also just better. The thickness also doesn't bother me at all.

Samsung really did something awesome when they designed the rugged case.

Note8 owning the iPhone X in the Speedtest, iOS is in need of more RAM, gone are the days of it requiring less hardware

I think the Samsung rugged case may be the only case that offers some protection for the curved edges of the screen, unfortunately I'm not prepared to pay the inflated price. Takealot currently sells them for R999.

Samsung in TygerValley has them for R600 if you tell them that Dion Wired sell them for R650.

So I managed to drain my Note 8's battery after 10hours 30min. With 7h SOT.

Hey all I have a question. Using the messages app, I can send chat messages to my friend who has a S8+ but I can't send these chat messages to my other friend with a Note8. Any ideas? It only sends via sms. Enhanced messaging is on.

What is Enhanced Messaging? Like iMessage from apple?

Yes seems like it. Turns green when chatting and yellow for sms.

Your friend with Note8 doesn't have Enhanced Messages turned on probably.

I THINK this is the setting, lol.

Anyone insured their Note8 with Vodacom Insurance? How much are you paying per month if I may ask?

Thanks

Does anyone else have a problem with their Contacts Application?
Mine shows lots of duplicate numbers/names.

I delete a contact, then I create that contact again with only the one number for that person. Then when I look again, that contact has another number added from another contact on my phone. And no, I didn't do it.

It's really irritating. Makes me worried that I might send messages to the wrong person.

That's strange. I know the app has a menu for merging duplicate contacts.

Yes. The problem then is that when I merge, I will have two different people merged with the same number.

Google and Samsung

Google and Samsung

both? isn't that your problem right there?

It doesn't duplicate contacts.
It mixes up contacts.

I went through all of my contacts one by one and fixed the problem.

It doesn't show anything in "merge contacts" now. I'll keep my eye on it.
