Look at this crazy post

http://www.ebay.in/itm/Samsung-Gala...581377?hash=item41c1e05f41:g:i6oAAOSwTM5Y6DXJ
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
what the he** :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentwitness1:
S8, they have no idea on pricing, all the kept saying was we will let you know once we hear something.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
Will they provide any freebie?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentwitness1:
i asked again he gave me the same response we dont have any information when we learn something we will let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
dont expect more. its gear vr only for past couple of years lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abthegreat:
You can fly to any off the launch countries and buy one and still save some money :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] charming.arpit:
I think these pricings would be destructive. S8 should be 49000 and s8+ should be 57000...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Don't think that's gonna happen with Samsung history .. Price quoted by kannan seems to be true
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] charming.arpit:
But if those pricing are true then there will be no phone to replace Galaxy S7 (not s7 edge) and that would be a big mistake on samsung's part. Historically, they have always kept galaxy s series phone below 50k range and note series is the one which commands premium over 60k. In my opinion, s7 will be replaced by s8 and s7 edge will be replaced by s8 plus. Rest time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Every year we debate that but truth is ppl like us always upgrade

And this time the design itself will have many to upgrade from S7 edge
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Lol only in your dream man. Dont expect these prices from sammy
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Well note 7 even if we're not launched in India were bought by many

Enthusiast does buy these phones at launch but truth also is if we wait the price drops

But at launch the price will be higher so it's up to personal decision

how much time samsung take to ship the free tumi case ?? i have ordered 10 days ago and still waiting...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickysud:
Order on May 8th , shipped with a tracking number on May 19th and haven't reached to me yet. When I call the courier they say Samsung has not delivered to them and I'm still clueless.

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

My tumi covered shipped yesterday i got the tracking no yesterday night. Tried today to check the status blue dart says tracking no not valid . Will call samsung if it doesnt show up by monday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickysud:
Same tracking number not valid since May 19th. Called up customer care and every time the order is on its way to bludart since may 19th and tells me to wait till May 30th.

Anybody who emailed samsung and got their wireless charger ? I am emailing samsung since the last 20 days but they are only beating around the bush.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentvisitor:
Hi,

For all those who are facing delays, non-responsiveness, etc from Samsung my humble advice is to flood them on Twitter and see the magic ;)

Their handles are [MENTION=7823443]SamsungMobiles[/MENTION] [MENTION=7823443]SamsungMobiles[/MENTION]_IN

Samsung said I will get a verification call for tumi cover after using the coupon code but it's been three days and haven't received a call. In my Samsung account it says order placed.

Did you guys revived any call?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] asutosh:
Tracked my s8 tumi cover which samsung shipped its now showing its in jaipur at present with an estimated delivery date on 29th .dont know why samsung inflated its price to 3499. At that price u can get a feature phone.

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

Shipped by bluedart express.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

What the hell why would they verify the offer . Should be anyways present for the registerd mobile no users, who registered at the time of booking.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Some gets wireless charger and some tumi cover. This seems unfair.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] asutosh:
Even some getting both the case and the wireless charger for free and some getting nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] eswar539:
while "US" people are getting buy 1 s8 and get another one for free, but we Indians are getting tumi cover, wireless charge, idly, sambar, break fast free :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
We should all tweet to samsungmobilein to give us both of them as a loyal customer. Been using Samsung since nexus s. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] online22naveen:
my tumi case just shipped via ecom express.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] funtoosh:
I'm sure partial payment or full payment is done by T-Mobile as that deal requires a T-Mobile connections, cellular service is not cheap in US hence carriers can afford it, i don't think Samsung is bearing full cost of the handset

There is an update for Netflix today saying update includes optimize playback for premium screen. Does that hints for hdr support for Netflix on s8.?

Has anybody noticed that the picture quality in the viewfinder of the cameras is $hit but the image quality of the picture is decent. I am attaching a screenshot of viewfinder & the actual picture for reference. Somebody please tell me this isn't just me!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Bcuz the auto focus and shutter is so fast on S8 that by the time you clicked the photos it was better off in focusing and S8 had much better post click processing Capabilities
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
This doesn't happen on a Galaxy S7 Edge buddy. The shutter on S8 is not faster than the S7e. I understand about post processing but that probably can't justify the lack of detail in the viewfinder. Might be misleading in some scenarios while capturing stuff...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yash92duster:
Lol :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Nothing like this here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] linom:
What's your configuration and who's the telco? Am on Airtel using single sim for now but barely get 4hrs SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Check your signal strength to probe further. If of an average you stay b/w -75dbm to -90dbm, you'll get good mileage. Are you using BT heavily? I can easily squeeze 8-9hrs SOT on S8 from 90-10 within total usage time of 40hrs+. I use Jio LTE + Fhd resolution , Battery Saving Location & Aod off. Disabled all of the MS apps. Nothing extra. Use iris and fps heavily.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
Airtel. No tweaks except aod turned off from day 1.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] linom:
I was averaging about 5.30hr SOT before the May update. Now it's about 4hrs due to Android OS battery drain - with proximity and motion sensor keeping the phone awake for more than 4 hrs. Am thinking of doing a factory reset but not sure if that is would help. Both BBS and GSam showing sensor drains with apparently no significant partial wakelocks from any apps.

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

I don't use BT at all. I'll have to check the signal strength. After the may update my SOT has gone down due to sensor drains
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Try clearing cache in the recovery first and if it doesn't help, do a fresh restore. I did a fresh restore btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
Yeah the may update definitely reduced the battery life. I used to hit 7 hours SOT by 35-40% battery remaining. Now the drain is more pronounced.

I've come to expect this though from Samsung year after year. The first update after a month of the device out always messes up the battery life. Remember it happening every single year.

Try clearing cache from the recovery menu. That might help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
Glad to know. Could you please share a picture and a screenshot just like I did (preferably indoors)? Would be much appreciated. Thanks

You can always apply the stock icons over any theme
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentvisitor:
Beautiful theme. Which one?

Thanks ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] linom:
What's the standby battery drain on 4G? After the update, I have about 2-3%/hr if I dont use the screen.

Samsung has cancelled my wireless charger order saying that there is mismatch in information. Wth is this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whosaysjohn:
Call CS and ask for details
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vin4yak:
I'm on hold from the last 15 mins now. It just says all lines are engaged.

Any idea what's the usual wait time?

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

The CS guys don't know why the order was cancelled. We will escalate the complaint to the concerned team and they will get back to you. This is what they're saying. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
You'll get further set of instructions in the cancellation email. Just go ahead and place your new order. People abused the system so they had no way out except cancelling all standing orders.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
Anyone here with an S8 can please share how long the device says it can last when you've fully charged or how long it says at a certain battery percentage?

I'm worried I might have a faulty phone, because even on 100% battery my device never goes beyond 9 hours or 10 hours on normal battery mode, WQHD+ and AoD off.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
It is 40hrs for me at 95%
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
That would be on max power saving mode, please share on no power saving mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
This is on no power saving mode. On med power saving mode it is around 55+hrs and on max power saving it is around 104+hrs . You might need to calibrate your battery
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
I'll try doing that. Well that's really ****ed up, you're getting so long batter life, I probably charge twice daily.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
These numbers are just assumptions. Actual usage may vary depending on the usage. How much SOT do you get on a single charge?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickysud:
what bunch of idiots seriously placed an order on May 10th for the case I get a msg today in my galaxy app your order has been canceled due to code mismatch please generate a new code and place the order, when I do Get coupon I don't c the code but says code has been generated. Called up stupid CC they till me to wait wait wait.

I got the tracking number on May 19th with a wrong tracking number and today it says mismatch and cancelled.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
2-3 Hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Pretty less and weird.. just visit the SC
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vin4yak:
Meanwhile US buyers are getting an additional s8+ with the purchase, VRs and what not whereas we are left with frustration :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
It's not wired or bad depends on usage ppl make their brightness too low etc and count on SOT alone
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vin4yak:
I second this. A lot of factors go into it. Screen brightness, connectivity, Bluetooth, aod, number of apps which stay active all the time like whatsapp/telegram.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vd1900:
I am using Baseus tempered glass.amd it's working perfectly bought it form eBay
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
I understand those, I use auto-brightness, remains mostly near 50% brightness, AoD off, no hardcore gaming, probably 30 mins of YouTube with Video Enhancer, WQHD+ resolution, both SIMs active all time, basic app usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vin4yak:
If I were you, I would try to troubleshoot the problem. I would start with not using dual sim for a day or two to see whether it has an impact. Then go for the FHD resolution and uninstalling apps one by one and see what is causing the drain.

If you send it to a service center, God knows what they'll do with your device and I feel they'll just reset it and give it back to you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
I'll try that, I'm not straight away going to the SC. But still, with my usage probably a little difference would've been okay, but this difference is huge. My old Galaxy Grand Duos used to last longer than this device, with my usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickysud:
I'm on 8+ battery life has been incredible for me. disabled couple of packages / brightness on 15% / FHD / No AOD , Bixby , Sync , fb , MS apps / use only WhatsApp , twitter and Instagram. 38min on call usage

3hrs of usage and more 78% left.

Im unable to make payment on aliexpress. What card you are using for international transactions & is there any charges for international transaction?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentvisitor:
You should write all this on Twitter. It'll bring it in Public Domain and put pressure on Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
I can not live with FHD+ at all. It pixelates wallpapers and the drop in image quality is very evident while browsing & video playback if you've been used to a QHD display before. You have disabled AOD which is the highlight of the latest devices. Very useful for checking notifs & time while kept on desk or in car. You must be working in a dingy office environment to be using the display at 15%, mine is mostly around 60% during day and 25% in the evening and onwards. Other than that, your usage seems normal for a working day. I am getting an SoT of about 6h 30m and I play some games too every now & then (not for prolonged periods). I have an S8+ too.

I used to use my HDFC debit card earlier but nowadays I have a Kotak 811 account so I mostly use the 811 virtual debit card now. Never had an issue with payments on AliExpress except with RuPay cards. As for charges, your bank levies currency conversion charges which aren't abnormally high. You will still be saving a lot when buying at AliExpress.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickysud:
I'm okay with the FHD+ and regarding AOD when I'm driving I use android auto in car dash so won't be needing AOD. I keep changing the brightness according to my needs won't be on 15% all the time. I don't game on mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
Wow! Somebody with Android Auto confirmation here then. Which car do you drive? Could you share some pictures of Android Auto? My S-Cross is yet to receive the Android Auto S/W update. I haven't had any luck with MirrorLink either. It takes forever to connect!

Does anyone know if the S8 or S8+ is made in India or imported?

Does the handset say manufactured in India?

What is likely to happen to the price of S8 after GST? Will it go up or down?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] msri3here:
I am facing a wierd problem with my S8+.

Sometimes, when I call someone, immediately after the other person answers, there is a buzz sound and then sound goes off...the other person cant hear me neither can I hear the other person. It only resolves after I restart the phone.

Anyone else with the same problem? Any know solution for this?

Jio? This is more of a carrier problem.
