Some Verizon features may not work such as travel pass
Why would travelpass not work??

Don't know why, but I can tell you that my unlocked G4 cannot have travel pass while the Verizon one does. They told me that this sometimes happens with unlocked phones. I needed to reactivate an old device.

My wife has an unlocked S8 with TP on her line.
Never heard of TP being phone dependent. It is plan dependent though, it didn't work on my old unlimited plan.

I have the new plan and it worked once I went to my old device. I guess it is YMMV.

Is there any way to confirm if travel pass will work?
Samsung is giving me a very hard time exchanging the phone.

Got this case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073R7191C/?tag=cl03f-20&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Seems great, though it's the first time I've ever used protection for a phone. I really don't get the glass back obsession.

Anyone have a screen protector recommendation?

Your ok with the "slim protection"?
I got the Spigen tough armer and the supcase full body rugged
Both with Mil-spec drop protection.
Can't take the chance with a $1000 phone. I know I'll drop it many times!

Glass backs are ridiculous. I realize they help with wireless charging but they rarely give a good trip and then there's the obvious issues with breaking.   Other ways to make a phone look nice IMO.

I didn't get it, but leather skins look really nice. And are way thinner than cases.

I already responded to you on DDMS.

You ordered the camera. Why in the world would you expect to get the 256 SD?

I totally misread your post.
I ordered the 360 camera and didn't even know the other package with the wireless charger included any SD.....

Re cases, I got two to try.
Medium protection:
Spigen Tough Armor Galaxy Note 8 Case with Kickstand and Extreme Heavy Duty Protection and Air Cushion Technology for Galaxy Note 8 (2017) - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073R7TLHV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_F6TUzb1W2RJA7

Slim:
Maxboost mSnap Galaxy Note 8 Case [Perfect Fit] [Midnight Black] EXTREME Smooth Surface [Scratch Resistant] Matte Coating for Excellent Grip Thin Hard Protective PC Cover Samsung Galaxy Note8 (2017) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0749CSD7D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_d7TUzbK51SQ89

The slim case feels awesome, covers the corners, and I'm sticking with it. Hopefully will provide some protection from a fall.

Hey Guys,

Just got my note 8 and its great, There is so far one thing that is getting me extremly frustrated.

Notifications

I used to have whatsapp and twitter have pop downs with new notifications. Now I just get a vibrate for twitter if im lucky, and my whatsapp is all over the place. 

my goal would like to have just pop up, new message or 3 messages 4 chats... etc. I do not want any content to be displayed on my screen other than when i swipe down. (ive seen it on the S8 but not able to combine on the note 8 )

Any thoughts?

Lastly, does anyone even use bixby? Or does this edge work for anyone when the phone is off? I find the always on display to be nice bec of the clock but its a pain to check any incoming mail/tweets and so on, I like to quickly swipe down in lock screen to determine if i should open the phone for any of the various vibrates.


@Dan I am a sworn Zagg guy, but it didnt come out, so I bought something on amazon that I have used in the past. I personally hate cases and once the screen ocver comes I will ditch the 93 cent case i got.
If you have any questions please search and then ask. PM me for detailed help.

Have you messed with notification settings? There are many different settings for example see attached.
