How to Fix Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Common Issues

When a new phone comes to us, it's usually accompanied by minor problems, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, screen, battery, etc. Here we have a collection of common problems with Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the ways to solve them.

How to Change Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Screen Resolution

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has a big 6.3-inch screen with a stunning 2960 x 1440 Quad HD resolution. This makes the apps, games and movies look great on the display. However, the resolution is set to 1080p by Samsung to improve performance and battery life.
People’s eyes can’t tell the difference between 1080p and Quad HD, but they can enjoy the longer battery life. However, if you want to set the Quad-HD resolution on your device, here’s how to change it.
Go to Settings > Display > Screen resolution and slide it to the far right for the full WQHD+ and tap to apply it.

2. 2. However, if the dead pixel is not fixed by the app, you should replace a new Note 8 screen replacement in the Samsung or repair shop.

How to Improve Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Battery Life

1. 1. Screen always drains the most battery, reduce screen brightness and the display time can extend the battery life.
2. 2. Open the Power saving mode, Go to Settings > Device maintenance > Battery. I recommend you choose the medium power saving mode because it doesn’t influence the device performance.
3. 3. Find out the App who drains the most battery. Go to Settings > Device maintenance > Battery and scroll down, you can find out which App drains the battery most. If the App is not always used, turn off or uninstall the App. If it is used frequently, upgrade the App to the newest version or reinstall the App.
4. 4. Turn on the always on display. Go to Settings > Display > Always On Display to turn off the always on display.
