Awesome to hear you're pleased with it @Poppysmum! Thanks for the update. Good to know it's loud for text messages, might be useful to know for those who have problems with hearing. Did you get a phone cover/case for it too?

 

@MI5 Cheers for that link. Interesting website with all the interactive elements there. Useful to check the latest Android features. Maybe we could have a recurring topic here on the forum whenever a new Android version is out so people could easily see a list of what's included in each update and comment about it. That site looks like a great resource for that. slight_smile

 

Edited to add, I love Oreo biscuits. grin Although I used to just lick the middle off and leave the hard outer bits. tongue

@PoppysmumMy new Note 8 has Oreo, my Note 4 didn't. I don't particularly like change so I made the mistake of continuing to use the Note 4, even though the Note 8 was set up ready to go. I should have jumped in feet first innocent

It's been a massive learning curve for me as I had loads of help setting up my Note 3, My Note 4 came already set up...and so the Note 8 was an alien thing.clown

I struggled, and am still getting there. Only yesterday I realised I couldn't download a picture sent via MMS.(this has nothing to do with Oreo, more to do with buying the phone from Amazon sim free and cutting my old sim down to fit the new phone). I had to change the APN settings. Fear...quite pleased that I managed to do it. 4 years ago I couldn't even tell you what APN settings were...LOL

Lol i dont get photos by MMS i get people to WhatsApp them camera

 

I still dont really know what APN settings are but can recall in the past getting help on here to change settings when they where wrong bet that was APN settings.

 

This is a great site when you are stuck and know what you need to do with phone then Thoughful dont know how to write it down without it sounding daft ,

 

Someone always seem to know what you on about slight_smile
