Something else I have found very useful that I missed was the ability to choose how to open a file with what app..... IE before when I opened lets say a PDF we were always given the option to use the app "Always" or "Just Once". I liked this feature as I liked being able to try different apps based on my needs.... One of the previous updates eliminated that.. It was a one shot deal once you used an app that was it.. Well after my FDR I see that Oreo has brought back the option for this....

The option for "Just Once" or "Always" is present on my Note8, and I'm still on Nougat.
I'm on Vzw. I wonder what update that you got that eliminated it....

Ok not sure what all devices this applies to or even exactly when it became about but I LOVE LOVE LOVE It..... For years I have HATED the shaded box around lock screen notifications... I thought it looked cheap and corny... Well today by accident while FDR'ing my Note 8 I see there in an option to adjust the transparency of those notifications... Its located in Settings> Lock Screen> Notifications..... I am so excited about this!!!

That sounds nifty. I don't have that option, so it's either an Oreo thing, or a provider thing I guess.
I have Settings>Lock Screen and Security, but I don't see any option in there for notification display modification.

Maybe it was an AT&T thing that pulled it. All I know is I hated it!! Lol

I know on my Note4, one of the Android updates got rid of it, and I hated that they did. I like being able to choose between options too!

This is a Samsung Oreo thing but I like it. We can customize the toolbar in the keyboard. And I recommend the quick one hand option.

Good stuff Miller. I read an interesting article yesterday about tips and tools with Chrome (mobile and desktop) and can't find it now. I should have book marked it to share here, there was some good info in the article.

Found it, it was on Android Police. If we shouldn't post links to them here, please let me know and I'll remove the link.

Good read! Some of them I knew about. Others I'd never heard of.
