My very first charge also was 7+ hours... i remember posting her 24 hours after getting the device. So yeah 7+ hours SOT is pretty easy for the S8+. The thing that stunned me when i posted the screenshot is that the phone crossed 7+ hours SOT with still 39% battery left. I don't keep the battery percentage in the status bar enabled so don't keep a track of the battery numbers as frequently as some folks. However one thing i've learnt since the S7 Edge is that stock with no tweaks somehow works best for battery life. The more you tweak/disable and obsess over what to disable, the more the battery life goes south :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Lag has been there from day one but it is minimal. It has something to do with the display brightness. The more brighter the display, more the lag in UI and animations. If you've have just done the OTA, you'll have to wait for 2-3days for the cache to build and eventually it'll become more smoother but not lag free. Lag is the born trait of TW and Samsung.

Guys can you confirm motion wallpaper removed after latest update. Cant put motion wallpaper now on my s8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] funtoosh:
I guess you can, just call Samsung customer care
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sweetvar26:
Are you serious? Check again, motion wallpapers can't be applied to lock screen, they only work on the home screen by default. So try again.

I haven't updated yet, so I wouldn't know but as of right now with the launch update, motion wallpapers only work on the home screen. Would be a bummer if that's removed because I enjoy them.

So could you try again and confirm?

Also, what happened to the Telegram group for the S8/S8+? I got a notification saying the Group Butler removed me from the group, any reason as to why or what happened?

Can u tell me which brand did u get for the normal screen guard? Are there any bubbles on the screen and how is the visibilty (since its matte) and touch sensitivity?

I got one screen guard from ebay...it was pathetic...it did not stick on the sides n top n had to discard it immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] linom:
I don't remember the brand as it was from a local shop. However the screen guard works perfectly. No bubbles etc. Smooth touch. However one needs to be careful not to drop the phone as its an ordinary screen guard and not tempered glass. I had got this one from ebay earlier:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
The only thing that can break is the back glass, they from glass is pretty solid. Also, is more scratch resistant that the back glass, cuz my phone's back has slight blemishes on it already, whereas the front (without any protector since the time I bought) is as perfect as it was. Even when I gather a lot of dust on the front.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
I can't say if this helps but i did do a complete battery run down last week ( all the way down to 0 and then charged the phone to 100% while still switched off).

I have always done that once every time i buy a new phone. Also clearing the cache from the recovery is something you might want to try. 5 hours SOT is way too less no matter how you use the S8+

I ported my number to Jio to use with the S8 and either Jio sucks or S8 is not 100% compatible with it. I get weird no sound while dialing and have to restart it to make it work again. Went to Samsung store they said their in house S7 has the same problem and say its Jio's fault.

I tried it but did not work someone else on this thread said its working but idk, only after 100% surety will I try again.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotResponding22:
You shouldn't have ported buddy, there are some faults in Jio partly because of their own service and partly because almost every other telecom company tries to sabotage it by dropping calls made to them by Jio SIMs.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krumbs:
Lol! Agreed. But if you use a non-transparent case, you can hide away that hanging garden! :)

Anyway, found something similar on Amazon: http://www.amazon.in/dp/B0716WSNTQ/

It is available for Prime delivery (will get it on Monday), and is priced at Rs 350.

I guess that is a small price to pay if this experiment works. And if it flops, I can always return the adapter.

Also curious to know how this will impact water resistance... not that I am in any rush to find out!

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

Are you referring to this adapter, where the second SIM hangs out of the phone?

Or that risky hack where you sand down the memory card, remove the plastic from the SIM, stick these together, and hope and pray it does not screw up your phone?!

If it is the second option, well, I will pass! :)

Can someone tell me the difference between the tempered black screen guard & plain screen guard?

And which should i buy tempered or matte for drop protection? Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
Is it original pack that you bought from ebay?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] linom:
Tempered is any day better than matte/ordinary one. The tempered guard is made of sturdy glass which generally can withstand small falls. However the issue with tempered glass is they don't fit comfortably on curved screens. You may lose touch sensitivity using these. Someone has recommended a good tempered glass option available on eBay a few threads back. You could try out the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
Yup WQHD+ res with auto brightness.... perfomance mode i'm on is the default optimised one... Only thing is i've turned off the AOD and home button AOD. Easily cross 7+ hours every single time.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nisarpari:
As per your complaint, you informed us that; you*kept your phone on it for whole night, charged from 20% to 80% but after that it stopped or not charging.

We would like to inform you that; this is not an issue with the device, this is the inbuilt feature of the handset, during

*Wireless charging or fast charging, the device may feel hotter and this is normal range of operation which does not affect the device’s lifespan/ performance.

If the battery temperature goes beyond specified limit, the charger may stop charging the device and start charging again once temperature goes down upto the normal temperature (e.g. 36ºC) and this is only a precautionary action for customer safety. This mode is called as*“Swelling Prevention Mode”.

Swelling prevention mode is triggered due to the high temperature. If the phone temperature rises beyond certain limit, the maximum charging voltage is limited to 4.15V which is equivalent to 70~80% (±*5%) of battery level. This operation is disabled and starts charging again once temperature goes down up to the normal temperature (e.g. 36ºC)

Actually the Samsung CC person only asked me to sent it to SC within 14 daysbof purchase bcz if the same problem remains now i can claim DOA.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shuvadeep:
I can confirm this. One fine day I had kept my S8+ next to my laptop's air flow vent while charging. Didnt notice it for quite sometime. After approx 40 mins when I received a call, found that the phone was pretty warm and had barely charged from 15% to 20% and had stopped charging. Started charging again once the device cooled down a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krumbs:
Wondering if all Spigen cases for the S8/ S8+ have similar contours in the front. So if one works with a particular brand of tempered glass protector, then it is safe to assume other variants will also work with that same screen protector.

I am keen on picking a transparent Spigen case, but not sure if the cut (especially around the top and bottom bezels) will be the same as the rugged armour version.

Options available from Spigen -- http://www.amazon.in/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=spigen+s8+plus+case
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mayank shekhar:
All have the same contour on the front. I have the rugged armour , tough armour, neo hybrid crystal, and transparent one. If a screen guard is compatible with any one them it will be 99% compatible with the rest. The difference is how tightly these hold onto the screen. The tough armour is very tight and can cause issues with any glass or plastic protector. While the other ones should not create any problem.

I'm using the spigen neo flex and it is compatible with all spigen cases.
