NOTE 8 Gang..our Day is HERE

[winb83]

Brah I already had to replace mine cause I snapped it while writing
Then decided I will never take the new one out the phone again
Then I bought a Meko stylus set that came with 2
Gave one to my mom
The other one broke
So I got the S3 pen n the Staedtler one
I never have issues with mine

It's not problems in the sense that it doesn't work but problems in the sense that the phones don't maintain a consistent bit rate on the audio streaming. For example I have a Fitbit and if I sync my Fitbit while I'm listening to Bluetooth headphones I notice the audio quality takes a dive until I exit the Fitbit app. Also If I get in the car from the gym and my headphones are still synced to the phone when the car audio system picks up the phone the audio quality is reduced until I turn my headphones off.

Basically if you have more than one Bluetooth device synced to the phone at the same time the phone reduces the Bluetooth audio quality. This has been a problem with Samsung phones since at least the S5. It's on all their phones. I've had multiple S6 phones, multiple S7 phones, multiple Note7 phones and the S8 and now Note8 and all of them did it. I've also had multiple iPhones and none of them ever did it.

The only way to avoid it is to get Samsung branded headphones or AptX codec headphones. If your headphones use the standard SBC codec it happens.

Would be the best phone ever if the Bluetooth didn't suck so bad on it.

I use NFC Bluetooth headphones all the time. Life saver. No issues.

Oh I see

I don't have any other items besides headphones to sync

I do want a fossil Android watch or a gear 3 one so I will experience that then I guess

What issues are you having? My BT works perfect when syncing to headphones, speakers, car stereos etc

If you sync 2 Bluetooth devices to the phone at the same time and you're listening to an audio device that isn't made by Samsung or doesn't support AptX and plays audio over SBC the phone will automatically reduce the audio bit rate until you disconnect one of the devices.

It basically requires you to only have one device synced to the phone at a time to get the good audio quality. Its noticeable and like I said it's a Samsung issue across all their phones that's been going on for years. I have a Smartwatch Fitbit Ionic that I don't even use the smartwatch functionality when I'm using my Note because of it.
S7 edge bad bluetooth audio quality with connected... - Samsung Community - 53429
Bluetooth audio is really bad quality.
Anyone else unhappy with the audio quality of the Galaxy S7 Edge? - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

Like I said this problem has existed on Samsung phones since at least the Galaxy S5. I noticed it because I came from an iPhone 5 to an S5 and I'm like why is this audio quality so bad? I searched online and it was pointed out by people who had pebble watches who were the first to notice.

In my experience AptX headphones don't have this happen. Also my Gear IconX don't have it happen either. My Jaybirds, Beats, Bose Soundsport Wireless I all notice it on as well as my Kenwood car audio.

Whatever you do don't let the battery get to 0%.

Whatever you do don't let the battery get to 0%.

Why you say that?

 

[winb83]

Why you say that?

There’s a software error where Note8 phones stop charging if the battery is completely drained. Hasn’t been fixed yet.

In the morning before I saw your post I caught my phone at 2%. I only put it on the charger because I was getting ready to go out today

EDIT: I don't think my phone is one of the affected. I emptied the battery at work last month, the weak signal I get there makes the battery go fast but I recharged it no problem.

I'm too shook to let that happen again though.

Finally ordered a wireless fast charger
Should have took that promo over the 360 camera cause I don't even think to use that shyt

And I got 2 of them hoes
