I have the same problem with Airtel. The modem in snapdragon 821 was better at catching signals....Granted the coverage is not good at my place..but my pixel XL used to fare much better. Nexus 6 was bad again...Shannon modems have caught up to the speeds of snapdragon ones...but I feel snapdragon modems are better at cellphone reception

Do a factory reset

And insert sim and check once

I did reset after I got phone and activated all Stuff

And Immediately got the charger banner :D

Bought s8+ on 7th 10.30am and updated rom then factory reset once

Then inserted sim and signed in

And got banner immediately 10.50am

:D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
Wow. Just got the banner for redeeming the Tumi cover.

I guess I cannot get both? XD
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
For all the guys who are still waiting for their wireless charger, don't fret. You're just missing out on a lot of needless trouble.

There's an issue ongoing with wireless charging paused which you can look up on Google. Basically the charging stops randomly and especially for folks like me who charge overnight, last couple of days I've woken up with the same charge that the phone had when I went to sleep.

The phone gets super super hot too which is worrying because heat really takes a toll on the battery.

One last night today and if this nonsense continues I'm going back to my regular anker setup.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
You are right happened to me as well
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
I'm not so concerned about waking up to the same charge as the night before, but the super hot phone really is worrying. It's definitely going to damage the battery.

Not worth the risk IMHO

The free wireless charger I had got with the S6 2 years ago also had the exact same issues and I had chucked it somewhere in the house since then.

Thought Samsung would've learnt by now :D

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

In my opinion you know a phone is critically hot when the screen is untouchable to the finger. That's ridiculous quality control by Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yes I have stopped using it as well wired fast charger works great and super fast
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
Same here bhai fast stock charger works so much better and the phone remains cool too. This gimmick of fast wireless charging might turn out to be a nasty one for someone whose device gets damaged.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Yes wireless is definitely not for overnight. Maybe temp use it for like 30 mins and top up but for full charge wired is great
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dpk1:
I've been using my wireless charger (samsung EP-PG920IBEGWW) since my S6 days. I have never had any issues with it. Phone does get a bit warm on wireless charging compared to conventional charger but that is how it is and not a problem, as per samsung. I have charged my S8+ only once using the wireless charger and it does get bit warmer compared to my previous phones (S7 edge, S7, S6), maybe it might be addressed later on with a software fix.

So far, wireless charger has not been detrimental to the battery life in my previous smartphones IMO (using it for 2 years).

It was after I sent the invoice but I didn't do anything myself and neither did they mention about it. It could also be that I looked at it a while after it was available because I don't recall opening the app today, before seeing the banner.

Pre-ordered the phone from Flipkart on the 21st and finally after a few emails and phone calls, I got the Wireless charger banner! :)

Looks like I'm the only one left to get banner for free wireless charger. No banner yet.

Though I got a text message from Samsung on my another number (the one mentioned in Flipkart account) saying "Dear Privileged customer, Thank you for Pre-booking the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+. Make sure to activate your new device with your pre-book mobile number. Click here to know how to redeem your wireless charger."

Samsung customer care says my registered number ends with 2556 and they are sending prebooking SMS on another number. Confused.

1) I had the same issue when i was trying to add my ICICI Debit Card with Samsung Pay on my Galaxy S8 Plus . Visited ICICI Branch the next day and showed them live as what was happening . Branch Contacted specific department which deals in debit / credit cards ( i think Mumbai ) and the answer they gave was , as the account i have with ICICI is a Current Account ( Company A/c ) and the debit card which i have is linked with that Company A/c, hence the debit card which i have is called corporate / company / business card . And there are certain restriction put in place for this type of card as to which places they can be used and where it couldn't be . Was told to try with a ICICI Debit / Credit Card which is issued from a Saving Account. At least that's what i was told , how much of that is correct , i leave it for one to decide . And then i went forward to try my HDFC Business Credit Card and it worked with Samsung Pay and successfully added in my Favourite Cards as well .

2) I have a Hyundai Elantra (2015) and i am using s8 plus . Everything seems to be working fine. i have made and received many call when in car through car mic and car speakers . I hope this helps .
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nisarpari:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickysud:
Thanks for the reply

1. Samsung Pay issue solved after trying it for an hour.

2. Mine is Hyundai Elantra 2017. Bluetooth works, but Car unit which supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto won't detect it. Where as S7edge works fine and detects Android Auto. With S8+ when ever I connect the cable to the car Android Auto doesn't show up on the Car unit display.

Ok I am done with this free fast wireless charger.

3 nights in a row and just is a flop show.

Today morning tried to top off the battery before leaving for work and the batteru actually started draining instead of increasing LoL

Placed it on the charger at 97 and I could see it dropping down to 94 then 93 right in front of me.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
You didn't read the comment properly. The guy was talking about Android Auto, not the regular bluetooth connection. Your car doesn't seem to have a touch-enabled ICE that supports Android Auto.

For others reading this, can anybody confirm if Android Auto works on the Indian Galaxy S8 or S8+. Also, it would be great if somebody could check MirrorLink too. I just returned an LG G6 and might get the S8 if MirrorLink & Android Auto are confirmed to be working. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krumbs:
I had called up Jio customer support about this. If you are already on the Dhan Dhana Dhan offer, then the 2GB Double Data offer will get activated only when the current one is over. And then it will be valid for subsequent 8 recharge cycles.

You need to have the Jio SIM in the phone while recharging. That's all. No other special requirement. At least that is what I was told.

If you are looking for additional chargers, you can check this listing. Claims to be an original Samsung product.

I picked up the bundle (2 chargers + 2 USB-C cables) for Rs 2526. Will update this post once I get delivery.

Incidentally, if you are thinking of buying the DeX Station, note that it needs a charger that does PD (Power Delivery). A standard charger (even one that supports Quick Charge) will not do. I found about this a bit too late, and so buying these additional chargers.

I don't have a S8 to confirm this, but according to the story here, S8 will work with the 2016 edition of Gear VR.

https://www.vrheads.com/new-gear-vr-well-not-exactly

Here' is the relevant bit comparing the 2017 Gear VR to the 2016 one:

"There only physical difference to the actual headset is visually imperceptible. In fact, even the physical dimension specs on Samsung's website for these two headsets are the same. The only differences in one is measured in millimeters and grams, while the other is measured in inches and pounds. But there is a difference. The area that holds the phone, the indented area in the plastic is slightly wider on the new version. Both the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ still fit great in both versions, but the slight physical difference does exist."
