Opt-out is standard in class action suits. The idea being that if you are someone who isn't even aware of the lawsuit, you are automatically in, meaning you will be part of the suit and will receive your share of the settlement.

No, this is regarding "you agree to arbitration instead of a class action, unless you opt-out".

A few years back the supreme court ruled to allow this horseshit.

No Facebook installed and it seems to happen when I'm at home on my wifi (the signal is strong). It frequently happens when the phone is idle as well

Correction, I have Facebook messenger that I use very infrequently. I'll uninstall that and see how it goes.

Update on this from usage this morning, I disabled background data and let it chug along. Biggest issue I'm seeing is screen on time doesn't come close to awake time. I went through and purged a few more apps that I never use, but really my phone is pretty slim as far as junk apps.

Exactly, literally the whole point is to take the millions of dollars from the company that wronged the customers. That's the entire raison d'etre.

E: Phone related, the Huawei Mate 9 continues to be my favorite phone ever. Don't buy a One Plus anything, buy this. It's got a huge screen while being the same size as many 5.5in phones, gets 10 hours of screen-on-time, and takes good pictures.

Glad you like the Mate 9. I tried to buy one three times and every time I got a box with a fake Chinese phone inside (the nonworking displays they put on store shelves). Amazon wound up delisting them because someone was stealing them at the factory and resealing them with that crap inside. Wish I'd gotten a real one, the pictures look great.

Can I swap out the Android emojis without rooting my phone? Couple of searches suggests "no" but since I'm new to Android maybe I'm just not searching for the right things.

Like always, Nokia doesn't give a poo poo about the US, which is too much of a clusterfuck to bother trying to handle, and is instead targeting the rest of the world which has more sensible protocols?

Or they just suck because they're a lovely knockoff using the Nokia brand.

With an 18:9 screen and minimal bezel to screen ratio this would probably put it closer to the Galaxy S5 in terms of overall size. If that's still too big for you might I suggest a career change to politics?

Edit:
VVVVVVVV I haven't checked the actual numbers on the measurements vs the S5 but if the larger S8 is already at the S5 size that would mean this is even smaller... would probably be in line with the iPhone 5?

Its 5.3 inches on their weird aspect ratio, 18:9 or whatever. The S8 has a 5.8 inch screen but is the same size as the older 5 inch models.

Yea the s8's 5.8" screen isn't really huge unless you are watching ultra wide screen poo poo. The oneplus5's 5.5" basically has more usable space.

The S8 can definitely be called a smaller sized phone, the screen size is misleading because there's hardly any bezel

5.8" 18x9 is = to a 5.3" 16x9 if you cut off the end

A 5.3" 18x9 would be = to a 4.84" 16x9

The latest s8 update made the ui really bad. If you dont want disapearing buttons you get this poo poo that never goes away. It also hosed with the colours, pretty sure it was black before.

Go here and follow their instructions. Like I said, you may not like this option but it seems like a pretty straight forward way to solve the issue with your S8.

Or they just suck because they're a lovely knockoff using the Nokia brand.

All of Europe is on LTE bands 1, 3, 7, & 20 with the exception of... Nokia's home country of Finland which adds bands 31 & 38. There are some oddball bands here and there (40, 42) but for the most part those 4 cover the entire continent while leaving out some minor carriers.

For America and leaving out Sprint because LOL SPRINT, one needs to cover bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, & 17 which sound like a lot but in actuality are really just three frequency bands divided into separate blocks. Where things get a little hairy is Verizon CDMA and of course trying to cover Sprint's garbage network but manufacturers can safely ignore Sprint if they'd rather have international frequencies in their modem and Verizon (I think) is now accepting devices that lack CDMA compatibility entirely.

Their decision to skip American bands is purely arbitrary at least from a technological perspective. I don't know if modem availability on that Snapdragon chipset is limited by Qualcomm however and that might be more the issue than anything.
