Becoming very annoyed. In a recent update, many apps are only in full-screen mode and it can't be shut off.

How much of a difference does it make if it's full screen? I always open my apps in full screen personally I feel  when it's regular the page looks short...

You mean you can't turn on buttons on the bottom anymore?

Isn't there a setting for that?
Settings , display, navigation bar. Show and hide button should be off.

Anybody want to comment on the Best Buy Black Friday deal for the S8?  Seems like a great deal. $!5.41 per month for 24 months for Verizon activation or upgrade.

galaxy enthusiasts, the issue ive had with the galaxy's is they never reach 2 years of full working mode. issues develop after a year or so. battery, lagging, etc

are you all having these issues?

Of your going to buy a flagship phone on Verizon wait for black Friday last year they were selling all of the phones for 5$ a month. They might do it again. Be smart and don't regret a hurried decision when they might have a much better deal in two days.

Did anyone find a good screen protector?
Or is insurance the way to go with this phone?

I had the screen cracked, told them about rebooting issues on my phone (didn't know at the time that my screen will be fixed, I read about it online, but this was not my reason), and they fixed the crack. They are afraid of people spreading the word about their random reboot issues, so they fix it without even you asking for it. Worth a shot.

Do you pay your cell phone bill with the ink business?

Was this with an s8 or s8+?

I contacted Samsung. I was under warranty. It was the S8, not the +.

The random reboot is a widespread issue. I think it has to do with my filter though which definitely mahnifys the issue, but it's still a Samsung issue. Definitely worth the shot to try. It took all in all 5 business days until i had my phone back.
