Trying to be more active in here. I will be posting more. I feel adding to this forum helps me grasp the ridiculous matrix of possibilities within this phone. Best.

At this time, I would call your carrier and ask when their next wave of upgrades will be pushed to your phone. Ask if their protocol of sending out is by serial # so you can get a better idea when you will recieve your upgrade. Good luck.

I want to preface this going forward. I am not a technologist nor am I a Samsung Tech. I have been waiting and continuously checking this phone. I never checked this area of the phone so quite frankly I dont know how long this feature was here. A.) Samsung makes a software update. B.) Carriers Get software updates next. C.) There are waves of software updates pushed to people (how maybe carriers disclose this) I would call the carrier you have and ask when your wave may hit the phone. Please have your phone info on hand when you do make the call to your carrier. Samsung experience Version Samsung Note 8 Version Please be patient and contact your carrier. Lastly All questions as of now unless I know it off hand are geared toward Note 8 and samsung related apps associated to this model. Best of luck people. Work Time

I am learning doing my due diligence pays off. Process below. Step 1: Go to Settings or swipe down from top of screen and Tap the little sprocket at top to get into settings. Step 2: Scroll down and Select Display Step 3: Within this preselected Display screen of settings You will now look for option Home below option Screen Resolution select HOME! ****NOW YOU ARE IN THE SCREEN TO ADJUST FOR THE OPTION PORTRAIT MODE**** Step 4: SCROLL DOWN! Below Quick-open Notification Panel you will see: ***Portrait mode only*** (prevent the homescreen from rotating to landscape mode) When I got into this screen it was already selected. I turned it off by deselecting it and POOF! Eureka IT WORKS! ♡ ***If for any reason this wasn't clear message me or respond and I'll do my best to respond back and see of I can help.*** Have a Great Day!

That is False. This feature is not gone- I have been doig my own due diligence and I found out that doing the work on your own really pays off. Process is here! Step 1: Hold your finger down on Home Screen for two seconds. ( an exposé screen appears where it shows all windows that you set for your apps as well as MYBixby window.) Below you will see four selectable options. -Wallpapers -Themes -Widgets -Home & Screen Settings Step 2: Tap on the Widgets option Step 3: You Will see many Widget options! Make your way to the Contacts Widget. ( At this time in order to get to Direct Message Option you will need to Hold your Finger on the Contacts widget for two seconds in order for it to Open the options which are (at this time Contact, Direct Dial, Direct Message). Step 4: Select Direct Message and it will bring you to your contacts- Once your contact is selected it will place that contact on your home screen allowing you to place it in a folder of many similar contacts of importance, leave it on your home screen, or have even place it inside of your edge bar. ***If you are unclear respond here and I'll do my best to be respond and be clearer*** Have a Great day guys- Hope this helps.

At one point I remember making shortcuts for text messaging people on my home screen(contacts). How do you do this? For the life of me I couldn't find out how to do this again? I believe I went into the edge feature and from there I didnt - Could someone suggest some workflow to get this done. Thanks again.

My Note 8 does not rotate on the home screen. My Note 8 also doesn't have any feature within the pull down quick settings that says auto rotate or rotate or landscape or portrait or anything it would say to choose the option in order for it to apply this feature. Any suggestions?

I do not even see the Rotate button within the grid view in quick settings. so I wont even be able to check in safe mode considering there is none there? Have I just not recieved this wave yet? Does anyone else not have this option in quick settings??? Any other help would be great thanks!

MyNote Info: Model #: SM-N950U Android Version: 8.0.0 Samsung Experience Version: 9.0.05.34 Carrier ATT I have done this: Settings -> Display -> Home Screen -> There is no option for Portrait Mode at all. Below is within the Home Screen selection: Home Screen Layout ( upon selected it is not in there) Home Screen Grid ( upon selected it is not in there) Apps Screen Grid ( upon selected it is not in there) Apps Button ( upon selected it is not in there) App Icon Badges ( upon selected it is not in there) Add Apps to Home Screen ( upon selected it is not in there) Quick -open notification Panel ( upon selected it is not in there) Hide Apps ( upon selected it is not in there) About Home Screen ( upon selected it is not in there) Am I waiting for this to Send me a notification? Should I wait before i download it to see if it is working efficiently? These Waves is there a Notifcation that ATT gives us that we should look for in our Carrier Site? Am i just looking in the Wrong area?
