According to T-Mobile, the first device to launch with Advanced Messaging is the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, which is available for purchase today for $190 outright or $7.92 a month for 23 months and (to be absolutely exact) $7.83 for the final month. By the time we reach the end of 2015, T-Mobile will have “nearly a dozen more” devices that will include the feature. For owners of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S6, however, they will also receive Advanced Messaging through a software update sometime in the near future.

My Note 5 has the feature.... I think. Its hard to say cause I haven't messaged anyone who has a compatible phone with advanced messaging.

The weird thing is when I had my S6 edge I was running the leaked Note 5 rom and the advanced messaging showed when my brother who had a Note 5 with Sprint was typing, read my messages etc. But when I got my Note 5 it doesn't do that anymore. You even have stickers etc when you are texting someone who has a phone capable of advanced messaging also.

Works just fine for me. My wife and I have the note 5. When she texts me and vice versa we can see the other is typing... Similar to hangouts.

My wife had the note 5 and I have the 5. Doesn't work

Has anyone figured out that the deal is with this feature? Me and my wife both have the Note 5, and it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Kinda seems like it had a mind of its own and works when it wants to

Galaxy Gear With iPhone

I have been given the galaxy gear, my mate loves the note 3 but didn't want the watch,
I currently have the iPhone 5 and is the gear slightly compatible with it,
the gear is sealed so I don't want to open it, if its of no use,
I have a 5S coming in a weeks time should I be better of getting rid of it and getting a S4 or hold on and wait for the nexus as that will be running the latest version of android so will that be better off,
my last option is swapping the watch for a android watch which looks exactly the same as the omate truesmart, same specs apart from a 3mp camera and 2 screws on the sim slot,
mate bought it back from a trip to china where it cost $150
Would love to keep it but not sure about how it will work with the nexus once release, S4 being my 2nd choice but then thinking will that be a step backwards with buying a phone which has been out for a while now

Won't work with the iPhone. Will work with the Note 3, and S4 and other compatible samsung devices coming soon.
Best bet for the iPhone would be the Pebble, but even it has problems right now with iOS and staying connected to the phone.

I sold my pebble already,
So the gear will only work with samsung devices??
I thought devices with android 4.3 would be compatible,
Looks like I would need to buy a S4 then,
Bought most of the smartwatches now and the gear is the best looking one,

Yes for now until someone possibly hacks things, it only works with Samsung 4.3 phones.
I have a Pebble too and prefer the Gear by a wide margin (mostly due to looks and the SVoice capabilities and apps).

Nope, using the Note 3.
why dont you just get the note 3 or the s4 with snapdragon 800?
Mostly TouchWiz is needed, then 4.3
It will work as a Bluetooth headset with any device

I did see the I9506 / E330,
But don't see any uk sellers for that phone right now,
Note 3 is just too big for me

Can you change the S-pen souind?

Is there a way to change the sound your phone makes when you take the s-pen out and put it back in?
Try 'S Pen Toolbox' from the Play Store, I used it on my Note 4
haven't tried it on my N5d, yet, but i used to use S-Buddy on my N3.

Been using Note Buddy (S Pen Helper) since the Note 3, now using the Note 5 and have no issues at all.
Combine that with Zedge and you can have some awesome S- Pen sounds!
There is a free and a paid version, not sure the difference since i bought it right off the bat.
tallazzPilipino, not sure if S-Buddy is the same app or not.
Thanks for these. Had a Note 8.0 and it had that option, was disappointed it didn't make it to the Note 5.
After reading about note buddy how could i not use the lightsaber sounds in and out. Lol

If no Galaxy Note 8 then which one?

It's been 6 months I am using Galaxy Note 8 now I wanna switch can anyone give some options no Galaxy S9 though please.
I was reading about LG G7 ThinQ looks nice.

Why do you want to change your note 8? What do you dislike about it? I would consider anything else except a note 9, as a downgrade
I dislike the battery.I absolutely hate the speaker.It's shameful for a device of this price.I also dislike the slow updates but that is a Samsung issue overall.Touchwiz launcher is horrible but that's an easy fix.All that being said nobody makes as good of a screen as samsung,I adore the camera and the s-pen is an absolute delight.I don't know about upgrading to the note 9 simply because that'd be a net loss of 500$ for only 6 months of usage on my note 8 but I'm positive I'll be getting the S10/Note 10
I think, there are more then enough people who needs every 6 month a new device.
I don't know why.
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

Nothing as such I just wanna change I am hating its curve screen which has no use at all and not a single screen protector fix on it (tried 4 so far)
I like OP6 but then its camera is not as good as Note 8 camera is, secondly it has no HDR for Netflix and Amazon and its vibrations are so so weird!!
I like LG G7 ThinQ though havent tried it yet!

You will probably have a difficult time with that question in this forum since we're here because we like/love the Note series of phones. With that being said I don't disagree with the speaker part, I'm hoping the Note 9 will have stereo speakers, preferably more robust speakers to boot.
You need to get a full screen adhersion screen protector. They can be found pretty easily you just need to look for them. But I would stick with the Note 8 as it is a very good device and will probably last you for a good few years.

Yeah still its so irritating and annoying at times saw HTC U12+ really impressed with the over all feel of the phone and the camera has outstanding results, might go for it I guess!

I would only consider the Pixel 2 or 3 (if you can wait for it to come out).

Google will never release a Dual Sim variant and that sucks [emoji43]

The LG G7 and HTC U12 won't have any better battery life compared to Note 8. PIxel 2 XL would be an option. Huawei Mate 10 Pro or P20 Pro is another option. Note 9 is around the corner with 4000 mah battery which should help
Bought OnePlus 6 Mirror Black 128gb (Black Mirror is so sexy its dope, OnePlus did an amazing job), its amazing freaking fast, smooth, the gestures are nice as well. I love the full screen display with notch though so many people don't like it, you can't compare the camera with Note 8 one's but its not that bad seriously and with Gcam the pictures comes really nice.
Over all experience is so satisfying, I don't miss Note 8 at all :good:

If I were you, I would go probably for the Huawei P20 Pro.
I get puzzled by such threads? The Note series is unique as a mobile phone experience.
The S-pen is whats makes the Note, the Note. If one doesn't need or use the S-pen I cant imagine why one would purchase a Note series mobile? To that end there are no options or other choices to the SG Note 8 until the Note 9 is released shortly.
If the S-pen is not of primary use then there are numerous other mobile phones to explore.
One thing is a certainty in the mobile world, no phone will please all users. That is why there is a plethora of choices. Every mobile made has its positives also negatives, its all a question of needs and usage prioritise.
I need and use the S-pen, it makes my mobile a pocket PC.
If I didn't need the S-pen I would look at mobiles with my second priority and that is good DAC and sound quality. Some prioritise the camera or screen size, the list is endless.

so true, Ryland; plus, why do people thing anyone cares about why they hate a particular phone?
If you hate the note 8, get rid of it and get something else; no one here cares to hear your sob story about why its so awful..
BTW, even though I have had several Note phones, start with the first one, I rarely use the Spen at this point in my life; I like them for their size, their screen, and the "extras" that samsung includes in their phones...Sure, the sound sucks, but there are endless BT/Wired/Wireless speakers and head sets that make that point moot. Battery life is no issue, with wireless charging, and most of the other complaints are just silly ..
anyways, lets hope that people who dont like this phone just get rid of it, and move on, without giving us endless posts about why they hate/hated/got rid of it..no one cares!!!

I had an LG G7 ThinQ for 2-3 days, couldn't stand the UI and is on the small side for me compared to the Note 8. G7 is not slow just different when you use all these phones. Ended up giving it to my Granddaughter after 3 days.
Probably a Note 9 or an iPhone X plus
The note 8's battery is as trash as the Note 5's.

Who is coming from IOS?

I have had every galaxy since the s3, s4,s5,s7 edge, s8+, note 8, s9+(minus the s6). And this year thought it was a good idea to go to ios and got a xs max. Its good but doesnt have the freedom android does. I miss my “free” apps, being able to start a http server on my phone to transfer files to a firestick, and alot of other things. Who else coming from ios?

Me. Using iPhone X but I already pre-order S10+. Hope will be happy
me also
i have iphone X and am thinking of moving to the S10 Plus also

2nd Phone to try Q Beta, like it!!

I have the GS10 Unlocked and I love it. Had the S7, S8 and 9...my work pays the bills.
I wanted to test the Q Beta so I bought a used Pixel 2 and have it on a TMo prepaid plan.
To my surprise I find myself liking the Pixel 2 and using it more and more !!! It is so simple, lighter, etc...great pics...now, using it more than my S10 is mostly due to the "newness" factor
Of course I still use my S10 and will keep using it as the screen is phenomenal, more storage and I have 2 Gear S3 watches and use Samsung Health religiously...
It just goes to show you that there still is no perfect phone that has it all...yet.
Also, makes me wonder though with the price of the Galaxy line getting really high...which phone will be next?

I still use my Pixel 2 and have Galaxy Watch LTE version - enjoy them both. I bought S10e when it came out, but didn't find anything that would justify spending additional hundreds of dollars, so I returned it.
