Started to do that to me too. I cleared cache and data and it seems ok again.

I have no clue how to do that

Go to settings, go to apps, find Callar ID, click storage, click clear data and cache.

Hmm I feel dumb but maybe not, just realized the S8+ has a flash on the front camera. Never seen anything on reviews about it, saw the option earlier and used it amazing. I imagine that goes for the S8 as well, but as I said I knew nothing about it.

Yeah, lots of phones have that feature, they just use the screen as a flash, it works great most of the times.

The ability to hide the nav bar is pretty awesome. Having the whole screen available for use is amazing and will likely help prevent burn-in going forward.

 

Finnily enough, the option is enabled by default in the settings.

I think they knew people were not gonna be happy with a white nav bar (to avoid burn in maybe) so they mitigated it with a "hide nav button". Good idea...

This is great. I often accidentally hit the soft keys with so many apps having a bottom navigation bar for choices.

One other thing I noticed, the pressure sensitive home button still works without the nav bar present within any app which is awesome.

FYI... the unlock still remains after the update. Actually the phone seemed to identify the card a lot faster. As soon as I turned the phone over and swiped down it already knew it was an ATT card where before it would take longer to read the card.

As long as you're using easy pay any phone you buy through Sprint is automatically unlocked. Learned this last week when I let my friend borrow my Note 5 for use on Verizon. :P

Are you sure about that? The Sprint policy is that you're out of contract, phone is paid off, and it's been 50 days active on the Sprint network. Maybe if you're on Easy Pay that satisfies those rules, but it seems like it wouldn't if you're still paying on it.

 

I had mine unlocked by a guy on eBay (as did a couple others in this thread), thus reasoning for my post.

I still have a few payments left on my Note 5 but I am on Easy Pay, what I posted before is straight from Sprint. I know this because I called to ask them about unlocking and they say we can't do anything it's already unlocked. :P

Do any of you think the hiding navigation bar is a dig at Apple?

 

It has been rumored that their next phone will be have no home button on the front much like the GS8, perhaps opting for an in screen home button like the GS8.

 

I just wish more Android apps implemented swiping right to go back like iOS apps. Relay for Reddit does this and it's so useful. I also wish that they added the ability to doible tap the home button to access recent apps.

Did you put the S8 on Easy Pay? Just wondering how you are paying on the Note 5 still if you upgraded.

Yeah I have another line that I used the upgrade for myself.

Understand. I went into BB last week to see my options to upgrade to the S8+ since they had a good deal of $300 off the phone so it would be $550 on Easy Pay.

I have 3 payments left on my Note 5. So my options are to 1) Give Sprint my Note 5. 2) Pay off the remaining payments.

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
