[Q] speaker volum too law - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi guys, I have two problems I do not know how to solve:
1-level audio speaker is too low when I listen to music or I watch netflix, is there a way to increase audio power?
I read somewhere about media volum limiter but I can not find it on my notes even if I'm looking for it I do not find this option
2- if I block a phone number from the call log using pull-down menus, the number appears blocked but it is not, to block it I really have to use phone settings / block numbers, is it a bug?

Regarding your first question, yes the volume in note 8 is not loud, but you can enhace it in settings>sonds and vibrations>sound quality and effects>equalizer, custom, and there put all freqs to max, besides, you can adjust the performance mode to entertainment

Thanks, I've tried both ways that you have advised me but it does not change much, there is no other way? sure that the sound of this note is really disgusting.

I tried this way, but if I cover the speaker with my hand I hear the sound lower, very strange.

I am looking for new desktop speakers

Hey people as I said in the title I am looking for some new speakers for my desktop. However, thanks to my current dual monitor setup I need either really short speakers or something like laptop sound bar so the speakers don't get hidden behind the monitors. So if someone has any suggestions that be great.

No I do not unfortunately, here is a pic to show how much space I have, as you can see I currently already have a speaker hidden behind them.

Bump I'd still like to hear some suggestions, preferably for speakers under 100 dollars and I only need 2 speakers since I wouldn't be able to spread out surround sound speakers properly in the room I have my computer in.
Under your budget are the m-audio av30 speakers.

At $149, I'd definitely recommend the av40.

[Q] Google Now is slow!

Hello guys!
My dad just got the S3 and I fell in love with the OS almost instantly! Just days letter an update was released for the Note - guess what, it is the same OS and features!
Google Now was the feature I was most looking forward to but sadly the voice recogniser is late to start. As you all know - the device can only hear you when the Microphone Icon has turned red. It is late by about 1 second and when asking small questions to the phone, that is a lot :/
Does anyone know how I can fix this? The phone hasn't been flashed or anything, it is just as I bought it except it has some updates from Samsung/Google.
Here it is when it is working

Hello, x33eraser,
My problem with the app is that it is slow to understand/ hear questions. Basically the Red sign comes on later than it should, for example, if I said:
"Price of Champions League Tickets" it will only hear ' pions league tickets' or something completely ridiculous.
Can this be fixed?

Well, I can only suggest to try clear its cache or reinstalling it.
To clear cache settings>applications , find the app, tap on it and clear its cache. If both doesnt work, you might wanna contact the dev, it could be the app stability.
How is your Internet connection? Stable?
Also, the dev is google lol.

Poor WiFi Performance?

Anyone else having any WiFi issues? I work on an upper floor of a nice, thick goverment hospital. The WiFi has normally been OK for me with my last two phones (S2 & S3), but today is my first day at work with the GN3 and all I get is "Network disabled because internet connection is slow". Yeah, it's always been kinda slow, but my other phones and my tablets hook up anyway. This wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that the thick building blocks a lot of the 4G signal; I've got to be in a room with a window (AKA "Patients Room) for a decent signal. So I've got this badass new phone that can't connect to the internet a lot of the time.
Anyone have any suggestions? I can't find anything under the advanced options to convince it to connect. I'm sure a nice custom ROM would probably help, but we all know where we are with that at the moment.

Make sure that's not checked in the advanced wifi settings
For me, it seems to be on par with other devices (ie HTC One, LG Optimus G Pro, GS4).

Now that the phone is working, I thanked you from my Note. Stupid VA blocks most of these images on the desktops, including the "thanks" button LOL.

Display Scaling Possible?

On my S7, I was able to change the display resolution and fit more on the screen. N8 has that built into the OS but everything is too large even in the smallest setting. Is there a way to reduce the display further with Nova launcher or something?
Have you tried changing the DPI setting under minimum width in the developer options menu
No, what would you change it to so it doesn't screw things up?
Keyboard and icons don't scale well when doing it. So annoying.

F. awesome! Exactly what I was hoping for, thanks dude!
i use 444 and all looks good
I run at 550 the only thing I have noticed is setting up the phone you have to keep your dpi low.
Edit : I am an idiot running that on S8 I was lurking Note 8 forums not the S8 forums my bad.

I know I should not be in here I can feel my wallet getting lighter.
I run 625, 600 is where the browser switches to tablet format. Nova makes dealing with icons very easy. I set them at 125% and scaled the icon font up. You can then adjust the icon grids to a more natural layout.
Queston. The device model works well but defaults to its values when you toggle resolution.
Is there an app that can resolve this?

Force wireless display ?

Hey guys,
I have a new Hyundai Ioniq electric 2020 and they upgraded the screen to an 10.5" wide screen. However AA still only uses the left part, the right part being wasted with just the AA logo, like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there any way at all to make AA take up the whole screen ?
Thanks.
That's got nothing to do with wireless. It's all about the screen size the car reports to AA. Ones which do it properly work as expected. Ones that don't are like that. Daimler (Mercedes Benz) had/has a similar issue. AA does support widescreen.

Change DPI and resolution. Try some different values.
Good luck.

Yes I screwed up the title, meant to say "widescreen" not "wireless". Can't seem to edit the title though.
