[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
I'm coming from an LG G4 where I've always used a notification pull down button on the navbar. The plus point is that the fingerprint scanner is almost exactly where I used to have my power button, so no issues there. With the S8+ the notification pull down is proving to be a pain in the hand! Also, I've switched to a non-matte PET screen guard today. Touch sensitivity is greatly improved with minimal degradation in screen quality (some rainbow effect & graininess). I'd anyday prefer a nude screen on this as almost all screen guards cause distortion in image quality. The tempered ones don't sit flush causing ghosting, the PET ones have rainbow & pixelating effects. Those without front sensor cutouts do affect the Iris scanner & Front cam quality a lot. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
Attaching a couple of pictures of the G4's tempered glass (perfect fit) that I've been using for about 2 years now. I'd probably never get the same level of clarity on my S8+ display with a guard on!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] techspark01:
Same here...i just love the nude screen...but i am too scared to scratch it up...can u tell me which pet screen guard u got? N how was the application...did u get any bubbles on the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
I got it from a local shop for ₹120, there were se bubbles but they were easily smoothed out with a heat gun & swipe. The film isn't perfect and does cause grainy/pixelated effect which is very evident on white & black backgrounds!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] techspark01:
Thanks...i will try in local shops tomm...i cant live with the tempered glass :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Is the offer available for buying from retail shop?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Yes but only Authorized.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funkym0nkey:
Anyone who placed order for free wireless charger on or after 9th may, has yours shipped yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Nope ! Mine is yet to ship..placed on 6th. Expect a delayed delivery if you're from North/West. Only South orders are getting shipped on priority.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Mine have a new playstore icon. Did it got changed on yours?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I mine purchased on 20th may from local retail shop, how do I get it. Indie checked on Samsung app and my galaxy but no luck. Hoping now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
I have ordered on 19th & order was confirmed but not shipped yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funkym0nkey:
It was changed by Google. So anyone using stock icons got this new icon update.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
Can anybody confirm if MirrorLink or Android Auto are functional. My S8+ shows connected via MirrorLink but nothing appears on the dash, just a blank screen in Smartphone mode. Android Auto update is yet to arrive for my car's head unit, no news there. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sweetvar26:
I've owned an LG G2 & G5 in the past. So we both know how the power button/fingerprint button functions on these phones. Yes the S8+ doesn't have the placement right but I've got used to mine.

Anyway, to help you with the notifications, if you've already using the fingerprint sensor and comfortable with it, there is a gesture that can be enabled in the settings, swiping down on the fingerprint sensor brings down your notifications. So try that if you haven't already.

Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rohank1009:
I bought 3 cases for my S8. Two from Baseus and one from Spigen. The Spigen Liquid Crystal Matte Black mainly to use during my morning runs.

The other two for daily use:

Slim Clear Case - http://www.ebay.in/itm/Baseus-Super...r-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S8-S8-Plus-/201930838062

Ultra Slim Transparent Black - http://www.ebay.in/itm/BASEUS-amazi...ase-Cover-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S8-/322514153835

Between the two, the Slim Clear feels great and surprisingly offers good grip even though it has a transparent plastic back. It has a lip on the top and bottom. The sides are minimal - like the Thin Fit from Spigen. The biggest issue is the rainbow effect on the back under some lighting conditions.

So I'm using Ultra Slim now. It's a very very slim case, not visible at all when viewed from the front. It has a semi transparent back. It doesn't have the best grip, but at least it protects the back when laying the phone down.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
If you like the Slim Clear case then much better alternative is the Samsung Clear view cover. Much better material and hold.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rohank1009:
The Samsung Clear Cover was my first choice. But its been out of stock on the website for quite a few days now. Once it's back in stock, I may buy it.

Is there any rainbow effect with the case? What about dust accumulating between the back and the case?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
No Rainbow effect bcuz it is bit darker in shade and has a special tape pasted in the inner side. Dust depends on your usage. If you use it heavily outdoors or in a dusty environment, dust is bound to accumulate. if you use it mainly indoors or in office setup, minimal dust accumulation.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
I bought this case the day I got the phone for just ₹90 and it has been excellent for me. There's a slight camera protection hump and the fingerprint sensor has its own grove so there's no camera smudging while unlocking!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kulwinder Singh:
from where you bought it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] funtoosh:
Try the LED cover from Samsung its different, I even have clear view cover but I just use the led cover
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
Same local shop where I purchased the phone. And if you want some very good covers at decent prices, you should look at AliExpress instead of eBay. I've been buying my accessories from AliExpress for over 3 years now. This is what I ordered yesterday for my S8+, should arrive in about 2 weeks:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
Does it ship to India?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
Yes. There are a lot of sellers that offer free shipping to India. It's just like buying on eBay. There are 3rd party sellers, so make sure you check seller rating and product reviews before buying. Tracking information might be limited with free delivery options, but you will always get your product.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
& delivery time is the same as ebay or it takes more time to deliver product to india? And there is price in dollar, how to check in Rs.?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PG101:
20-25 days normal.. and X the $ with 66 :p
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
You can change the units from $ to ₹ from settings. The delivery times vary from 15 to 25 days. Delays are mostly caused by India Post (in case of free delivery option). Sellers almost immediately ship the order from China because they always have stocks ready.

I have purchased Hybrid Sim Adapter from ebay for 265rs

And it works well

Don't know if it will affect water proof or not in future

it works well now

Tested in water seal is good ?

I applied little glue on back of sd so that Sim sticks well

I'm using Spigen rigged armour extra case

Adapter fits well with my case

very light bump*

Do at your own risk it may not be same end result for all
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
That's exactly what I had expected. Screen guard adheres at the perimeter (black bezel) leaving air gap on screen causing the halo. Your blacks are now worse than LCD's what use is such a tempered glass! ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yash92duster:
?

I don't feel anything bad with this one

I don't even notice that air gap

If you have a good one share it I will try it ☺️

Got the Gear VR controller off Amazon.com. And it makes navigating so much easier than using a gaming controller or the touchpad.

There are also a few games that leverage this controller, with support being added to more titles.

Still playing with the controller, but my first impressions are highly positive.

EDIT: Amazon.com link is - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHXRXP1/

It cost me Rs 4230, inclusive of shipping and import duty.

there you will find "force apps to external storage" option at the bottom. flip the switch and you are done.

did u try it?

whatsapp and other media downloads directly to sd card???
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] KapilFaujdar:
Na, did you?

This option allow you to move apps to SD card.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dharmesh.mewada:
Okay so I figured out that when you insert a new micro sd card, it is added as a portable storage and hence you cannot move apps to sd card, there is no option. But you can format your card from storage options and make it as external storage where you can move the apps to sd card. Just in case anyone was wondering.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faaaaq:
Hello all. I just noticed an issue that I dont remember having before. My Shield is updated to whatever the current official release is, and I might be rooted, can't remember (every update unroots me, cant remember if I re-rooted before or after the last update..). So the issue is, when I use the Voice commands to search anything, it applies very heavy censoring using Google's preferred logic (for instance, the word "porn" is censored but another dirty P-word is not..? I tested a ton of dirty words and it made no sense what it decided was bad and what was ok...). In the Shield's settings I have safe search off as well as the bad word filtering in the Voice settings disabled. I tested voice searching and voice to text input on my phone using the same Google account and it doesnt censor anything... Anyone have any idea how to resolve this? I Google'd around and all I found were a number of people saying they also have this issue, and it seems to have sprung up out of the blue. But it wasnt any help as there was no resolution, the reports spanned from 2011ish to 2016, and there was no common device or Android OS version...

also, JFYI, I noticed this issue by trying to search for SourceFed's video where they attended the hentai convention. "SourceFed Hentai Con" said aloud to my Shield resulted in it searching for "SourceFed H***** Con," and Youtube ignoring the H***** and just giving me every result containing "SourceFed" and/or "Con." Manually typing the word into the search on the Shield yielded the desired result, though... I am certain I have been able to voice cuss words in the past to look up songs on Youtube, but I cant give even a vague guess at when this censoring began for me..
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr-tee:
Do you happen to have a different google search installed? A sideloaded version of the phone google search? If so, that has some voice settings too.

But if you are just using the inbuilt search function, maybe try changing language first, to a different english, then check the filters again etc. And try enabling blocking offensive words, use it, reboot, uncheck?

Or else, go to settings, apps, then in system apps select Google Search and Uninstall updates. Then it will reinstall updates probably, or do it manually via Play Store. And try Clear Data as well.

If that doesn't work, sign out of your google account. and last resort, factory reset?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faaaaq:
Ive tried much of what you suggested already, but Ill give the rest a shot (changing languages temporarily and uninstalling/reinstalling updates mainly). If that doesnt work I will just have to live with it, not a big enough issue to warrant a factory reset lol. Thanks for the suggestions. I considered doing basically evertything you suggested, but figured it was unlikely to help. You also suggesting the same things makes me think there is a sliver of hope. Ill report back.

So, first thing I did was change the language to UK English and test it. Its not censoring voice search from the main menu, but IS censoring in Youtube only now. Changing back to US English, Youtube is censored and main screen searches arent. So, progress at least.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr-tee:
Disable Restricted Mode in the youtube settings?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faaaaq:
Restricted Mode has always been disabled. Voice-searching Youtube on my phone isnt censored, I should have mentioned. So at the moment, across all of the Google ecosystem, for some reason the only thing being censored is voice search in Youtube on my Shield... Going to clear Youtube data and updates on the Shield and let it refresh itself and see what happens.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr-tee:
Now that you mention it, Youtube does filter out some words as well. It does show the word titties, but the word fu ck is with stars. Maybe it's just the youtube app?

I can say f you in the regular search option. in Youtube I see stars. So maybe it's just youtube censorship...

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

Yeah, it does seem to restrict outputting several words in the Youtube leanback app. In any language.

Maybe that's just built in the youtube app for tv.

You could consider using the phone/tablet youtube app. You can find it on the Aptoide app, or just download it from apkmiror.com and install it on your device. Then use an app (on the tv play store) called TV App Repo to create a shortcut on your Homescreen.

Maybe using the full youtube app will work. You can probably use the right stick on your controller as a mouse. Right trigger to click, hold to scroll. A to confirm, B for back.

EDIT: Tried it, the regular app doesn't seem to act any different. It uses the same voice overlay.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faaaaq:
I actually used the regular app for a short time, as there are modded versions available that completely block ads, but it was entirely unusable for me. Barely even seemed to respond to input so all I could do was view front-page videos. Now I am doing the four month free trial of Youtube Red/Play Music, so no ads anyways ;) haha. Thanks for your help though. Definitely looking to be no "fix" for this, but...I realized a very simple workaround. Doing the voice search from the main screen by default (for me at least) uses Youtube as its main results source. So I just have to remember if I need to search for anything with a potentially dirty word in it, just make sure to hit the Home button then the search button. I think that is an acceptable option, just not sure why Youtube's Leanback app has the restriction in the first place..
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr-tee:
Yeah, I find it strange that there are apparently two voice search apps built-in. But indeed, searching from home does the trick.
