I had to go mid resolution because swift key looks too big.The battery tests I've seen haven't shown much difference in battery life at different resolutions.

Swiftkey doesn't let you resize keyboard? I use Gboard which let me resize in addition to Nova Launcher for desktop and app drawer.I had to go mid resolution because swift key looks too big.
I reported earlier that face / fingerprint unlock wasn't consistently allowing me to do so, a message about policy requiring me to use my PIN instead. Well apparently since Lollipop, if you use a screen lock app to lock your phone, it will do this. But Screen Lock Pro ($2.57) has a workaround option that still allows screen lock via widget/button to work. I hate that the physical side buttons are so recessed inside these cases.

Besides setting to max resolution and the most condensed display size, I went a step further via minimum width in developer settings to shrink content even further. Both both apps above let me sufficiently resize things to get to where I want.
It does, it doesnt adjust itself when changing phone res. Its the only app ive come across so far that doesnt.Swiftkey doesn't let you resize keyboard? I use Gboard which let me resize in addition to Nova Launcher for desktop and app drawer.

Doesn't a lower res make 2D stuff bigger?I had to go mid resolution because swift key looks too big.
No, it's still very viewable. At least my apps are. I decided to just resize SwiftKey.Doesn't a lower res make 2D stuff bigger?
I think this might be attributed to Samsung actively closing apps that aren't used. Are you using the full resolution or one step down?
Take a look at what Incipio has to offer.Taking the phone out of the case reminds me of just how thin and sleek this phone really is. Can anyone recommend a slim case that's really easy to throw on and take off just for around the house? I normally use a wallet case for outside so it's super thick.

Has AT announced when they will post their deep dive S8 review? I couldn't find a date posted anywhere.

It is indeed an awesome device. There's almost nothing about my 6p I miss... The s8 is pretty much better in every single way that matters to me. It's the perfect size (maybe it could be thicker for a bigger battery) and smooth as you could ask for. The battery life so far is good, and the only wildcard now is how the battery life and smoothness of the phone will hold up over time.First time I've seen an s8 in the real today. (Stopped into ATT store).
Man, what an awesome device!
Just makes me double down my resolve to wait for the Note 8 tho.
Samsung... don't let me down!
Just reiterating how much I love the feel of the phone in this case. The ergonomics of the design was lost with the first case I used, but this one keeps the shape better and it just feels right. I love the design of this phone and really hope it lasts. I'll be tempted to spring for the Samsung protection plan next year when the warranty is up just to make sure I have it coveredI found a really slim case, but it's certainly not easy to remove. I like how it makes the phone feel, but I'm worried it doesn't offer much protection and wonder why I even bother if that's the case. We'll see though... hopefully I don't do anything stupid.

I hear ya, I already have 2, one from the Note 4 and one from the S7 Edge. Play with it for a bit, collects dust on the shelf. Hopefully this one is more comfy. I wear glasses and have an astigmatism in my right eye that the GearVR doesnt correct so I need to keep on my glasses. Can anyone confirm if we can install VR and its apps to the SD card? I hated having to use the phones internal storage.Are there any "must try" apps or games that will prevent the VR and controller from becoming a dust collector?
Is it worth even taking it out of the box? (Mine is showing up tomorrow)
