[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sll1313:
I actually agree with you and that’s exactly how I use to handle to things more or less. I would at least reboot once a week. However, within the last month I started to have issues with Smart Lock, specifically Trusted Places. It worked flawlessly and now it’s not. One of the ways (among others) that I’ll get it to work on a temporary basis (1-2 days) is if I reboot. In quite interesting how many different answers I’ve gotten in this thread, which like 1 person posted is what I’m getting everywhere else. I was hoping for something else. Ironically, one person posted they reboot sometimes when it runs out of power, yet I read that is one of the issues people are complaining about. That if it goes to 0%, they’re not able to get it to boot back up. I’ve never taken the chance because of what I read, but obviously that’s not everyone (based on that 1 person’s post). I’m on Verizon (like at least on of the posts mentioned) and my phone may very infrequently get ever so slightly get very, very minorly warm. It’s actually one of the coolest phones I’ve ever owned. Others I spoke to are not having issues with Trusted Places, like I use too. So this really makes me scratch my head on why there is so much variance. I love the S Pen and honestly because there’s no competition is probably why I haven’t looked elsewhere, especially with how Samsung handled the Note 7 fiasco. In addition, it was my understanding with every article I read is that they were going to make it up to us. I didn’t see that anywhere. In fact, I thought the least they could do was make sure that the original S Note app was pre-installed on the phone. They knew that we as consumers were upset it was missing from the Note 7 (they were supposed to be bringing it back on that phone within a month, but then the battery issue). So you would think they would remember and make sure it was there. Instead if you wanted it you had to side load it. To me that was horrible customer service. I’m digressing. Getting back to the original post, I guess there really isn’t anything that people are doing as a whole. But I guess this would make sense when we are all getting phones that aren’t even uniform to begin with (phones that won’t turn back on after 0% battery, overheating phones, Trusted Places not working, that Samsung lag still experienced by some, etc.). What makes less sense to me is because of the S Pen, Android, and other items, I still feel the Note 8 is still the best device out. As long as I writing this, what’s everyone’s opinion on Oreo? To me it doesn’t see like there really is any specific feature that we really don’t have. IMO, it looks like the only advantage would be if it makes our phones run smoother. I’ve just found a lot of people upset that we haven’t gotten it yet and my opinion is phones are optimized for whatever OS is out at the time and if we’re not careful, upgrading to the wrong OS (whether it’s Android or iOS) may make our phones run worse, potentially a lot worse. Just my opinion. I still would love to get a more uniform answer to my original post, but as long as I’m asking anyone have issues recently with Trusted Places and figure out a permanent fix? Thanks in advance for any help. I’ve been going through a lot of health issues, so I will try and respond when I can.
