Samsung Galaxy S8

[Piesang]

Do you guys know about the possible lag/stuttering fix by disabling "Apps that can appear on top"? My phone was always fast, but after doing this and switching to Nova launcher, it's in uber-turbo-ultra-fluid-beast mode

What is the actual functionality of "Apps that can appear on top"?

Why is there no mention of Nova Launcher here?

e.g. lastpass pops up over my browser to autofill usernames/passwords for me.

because otherwise the article would have been: One fantastic launcher to try on your Galaxy S8 [Video]

How is Nova Launcher on the S8+? I don't know if I want to replace Touchwiz. Or would you recommend it?

You aren't really replacing anything, try it, and if you don't like it, revert. Nothing ventured, nothing gained

I just joined the S8 (plus) club today. The sim swap was supposed to have taken place by 5pm. Nothing so far. Am I doing something wrong?

What network did you sim swap on? Telkom is instant. The rest can take 2 to 24 hours

Soooo I just got a sms stating I'm due for upgrade.

I am still really very happy with my S7 Edge. Those that upgraded to the S8, which one did you go for? battery as good as the S7e?

I am yet to see a S8. I think if I see it I will want it.

Something else that comes into this is that I always seem to get discount pricing from MTN for some reason so chances are I'll pay quite a bit less than advertised (last 3 or 4 phones have been like this). Just makes taking a new phone that much easier.

I can't compare s7 edge to s8 plus. I am (so far) getting double battery life. Amazing phone.

Go for the S8+, apparently that's the one that has similar Battery Life to S7E.

If not, why not wait for Note 8?

Vodacom. I was told two hours (transaction was done just before 2pm); and given a definitive time of 5pm.

Also, just switch the phone off for about 2 minutes

Many minutes off with each. No success.

alternatively,
if you wanted access to "Samsung" weather, you can use Bixby button.
See screenshot. ( location must be enabled)

 

[Piesang]

Nah, I just like the clock on the home screen.

Anybody know what this feature is and what it supposed to do, i keep enabling it, but nothing happens??



When you choose it, it comes up with 4 options, "Bits, Fish, Chicken or Treat"

And when i long press, it just goes blank.
