I know bro.. I'm confused which one to pick up, the s8 or the s8+. I want more battery but technically they both have similar battery performance and so I'm very confused atm.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
S8+ is the size of note 7...So if u likes note 7 get S8+

It looks great in hand
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Not similar bro. You are getting 500 mah extra for 0.4 inches. go for S8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] badelemental:

Guys, does the S8 battery really drains as fast as some people complain with moderate use?

Stable oreo released

I've been checking from past week, even today. On oreo Beta, no update as of now in India.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hnt.hardik:
Not working for me on S8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vigneshnm:
See if there's a software update that needs to be done. The Airtel app told me to do that first and then check in settings.

That build number is not amusing one bit :P

That is insane to me as on bad days 4.5 ive hit 8 but with absolute minimal running
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PG101:
Try turning on the screen just to check the time.. you may cross 12hrs SOT :p

I get 2 to 3 hours with heavy usage.. music.. emails syncing, BT, WiFi on, and continuously turning on the screen to check the time or notifs :cool:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Invisman:
Oreo full update is rolling out in India. I was not a beta tester and got notification just now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shivaranjan:
Installed the Oreo update couple of mins back. Works fine need to use it further to see if there any other issues. Airtel VoLTE is not yet supported on Galaxy S8+. It is a shame that Samsung's Flagship phone doesn't have Airtel VoLTE support.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ankit360:
No airtel volte? Seriously? Maybe your location doesn't support volte. Other guys please confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shivaranjan:
I am in Chennai and Airtel VoLTE works on a Redmi Note 4 but doesn't work on S8+. The Jio VoLTE was working from day 1 on S8+ but Airtel is not working. Not sure why...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vigneshnm:
If you look at Airtel's VOLTE page where it gives a list of supported devices, S8 isn't mentioned. Absolutely unknown phones like Tecno Camon 1 is supported. Sigh....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] user28:
Seems Samsung started pushing the S8 Orero update after cancelling it a few days ago. Got the update notification today.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] linom:
Did anyone on Beta or CRAP build get a new update in India - CRB7 build on S8? I have rebooted twice and checked but nothing here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
i got oreo sat morning.

Bttery life greatly improved....that or the battery icon now is more in sync with the actual drain. So far extremely impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] user28:
Is the Gallery freezing issue fixed? I Hope it is fixed in this update?

i am using S8+ G955FD, i am on android 7.0, fed up with slow UI and bloatwares so i decided to root, i did it with magisk, magisk v16.0 is installed and phone is rooted very well, but now i want to install xposed frameworks as well, but it always goes to bootloop when i flash xposed, i am on stock rom, is this issue, if yes then which custom rom will be best for this phone to use with magisk and xposed working well ?

hoping to get quick response.... :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit25:
Go back to stock... And get Oreo installed... If Samsung has fished Oreo... You should be able to awesome battery life... Or at least the best standby time...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ankitjaan:
i am on stock only as of now but on android 7.0, all i need is root with magisk and xposed working, can you please guide me ?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] twisted_mind:
Since no one's maybe noticed, on oreo the lockscreen clock can finally be changed to look normal and not the weird split look we had on the S8/+ for so long since launch.. phew...took a while coming that one :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] inflames91:
Question(s) for someone with the know how:

- Does rooting completely void warranty?

- if you've rooted are you using stock Rom or a custom Rom? (I'm quite happy with stock Rom and don't see much added benefits)

- Sammy Pay is basically of no use to me but I plan to flash Magisk if rooted to be able to use the Axis Mobile app

- how do you update the stock Rom once rooted as OTAs are not an option anymore?

The only reason I'm thinking of rooting is for the sound mods.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Knowsnotmuch:
I have s8 950fd device with BTU CSC. Now I want to use in it in India. I tried flashing S7 INS from Sam mobile using ODIN. Still no change in regards to CSC. It still show BTU. Can anyone help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentwitness1:
- Does rooting completely void warranty? - Yes

- if you've rooted are you using stock Rom or a custom Rom? (I'm quite happy with stock Rom and don't see much added benefits) - Stock unless you flash a custom ROM

- Sammy Pay is basically of no use to me but I plan to flash Magisk if rooted to be able to use the Axis Mobile app - Samsung pay will stop working if your rooted

- how do you update the stock Rom once rooted as OTAs are not an option anymore? - No OTA you would need to download the latest OS from sammobile and flash via ODIN.

Please also not from what i have read rooting will break the iris scanner also but sure if that's been fixed now or not. This is the first phone i have used with rooting. Been using root since the S2.

edit - i was wrong about the iris scanner, please ignore that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PG101:
Iris works perfectly on rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentwitness1:
anyone here getting the s9 or s9+?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PG101:
S9+

(If any one interested in a Mint s8 black, rooted, with spigen case and screen protector, original box and accessories, PM me.. Delhi NCR only)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kartiksood1:
Magisk had a feature called 'hide root'... so for axis bank you can hide root and then the app won't detect root and will work perfectly... i can personally vouch for it as i use icici direct app and it doesn't work with root but using hide root feature, its works brilliant.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] inflames91:
Hey thanks.

I've actually rooted and flashed custom OS's before (OP3T, OP2) but samsung seems a bit complex. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kartiksood1:
it definitely is more complicated than other devices
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] inflames91:
Last question:

Can you dirty flash stock samsung firmware via Odin and then flash TWRP again?

Would you have to wipe data / factory reset every time you flash stock firmware?

And obviously flash the no encrypt zip in TWRP after
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentwitness1:
have you pre ordered the s9+? The sammy people are really confused on the pre order bonus thats applicable. They are giving bonus 6k extra on old phone for exchange or 6000 cash back on HDFC cards and both offers cant be clubbed together. When i has asked they offered me between 30 to 32 k for my s8. before the announcement had happened so went back yesterday to confirm and they turn around and tell me the pricing you all are getting on the my galaxy app is wrong and we will give you market price only. have you by any chance spoken to them and have any clarity on it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PG101:
AFAIK.. you cannot club two offers together.. the 6k exchange bonus is a farce..

So.. if Sammy evaluates your S8 to 30k.. they should by right give you 36K. But in the market, you can already get 36K.. you know what I mean..

I am selling mine for 32K.. plus 6k HDFC cash back..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentwitness1:
ok i plan to give my phone back to the same store and take the new phone which causes a problem they can say the price we have quoted of 32 is including the 6k which in fact it is not. Not quite sure what to do with the old phone now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PG101:
Others are exempt because they make sense unlike you.

As I mentioned before, if you have further things to say, pls do so via PM. You've already disregarded this by replying here. You are now being officially warned in public because you chose to engage me in public despite my request to take it on PM.

Galaxy S8 Plus Query

I have Galaxy S8 Plus. Why can't I use Internet on Sim2 without changing it to Lte/3g/2g? Why is it mandatory? Because if I can use net in 3g/2g in Sim2(Airtel) then I will get network in Sim1(Jio).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vigneshnm:
Touch wood, but my battery life has seen an improvement after installing the software update of 31st March. This is especially true for standby battery time. Are others also noticing a similar thing?

i have s8 plus even with latest update i dont have volte switch for airtel when airtel website show s8p plus is compatable with airtel volte please help with how to get volte switch
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] .xxx.:
1. Has the votle option available in the network settings? If it is, check whether it is enabled.

2. In a worst case scenario, you can factory reset your phone with Airtel SIM card in the phone. This process enables appropriate CSC is load.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] parveen442003:
no volte option is not avaible in network setting factory reset is difficult for me is there any other option
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kunalpanchariya95:
Have exactly the same issue. I think there is an issue with airtel prepaid particularly. Jio volte works alright. Airtel prepaid VoLTE won't work on any other phone as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shivaranjan:
My Galaxy S8+ screen cracked today. Not sure who much does it cost to get it repaired. Samsung shop said around 18-20k and more if any other sensor is damaged and the cost might go up to 25-28k.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] parveen442003:
from where u are if you are from delhi i know someone who can get it fixed at very low price.he works in Samsung service center.if you want to contact me just me mail parveen442003@yahoo.co.in

I broke my phone twice in last one month . I paid 15040 each time to gurgaon service center.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vigneshnm:
S8 is available for 38k on Flipkart sale. Add to that you get exchange value for your existing phone too. A friend was waiting for the OnePlus 6 but I think this is probably a better value proposition
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vigneshnm:
New software update is available. Brings May 1 security update and improves camera stability, whatever that means.

Still no volte for airtel
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] inflames91:
I have VoLTE on Airtel since I switched from Vodafone.

That too with the version before this update.

Maybe there's no VoLTE in your area.

I'm based in Mumbai.

Wtf... I'm also in Mumbai! Could you please tell me where do you see that option?

I can't find it in Settings>Connections>Mobile Networks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] inflames91:
Try resetting your phone. That's the only solution I can come up with.

The option is in Mobile Networks only
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vigneshnm:
Hmm that means I'll lose all my data. I can probably live without volte :P

Guys, got any screen guard recommendations for the standard S8?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vigneshnm:
Hey, if the front screen cracks and has to be replaced, will the phone still be water proof? And any idea of the cost involved? The previous page mentioned prices ranging from 15k to 28k!

EDIT:

As per the live chat agent on Samsung's website, the IP68 rating would continue post replacement. The cost of the display is 11,098 excluding GST. The service charge would also be extra.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vigneshnm:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sp1312:
Once you root your device there is no way to go back.

After rooting your samsung pay secure folder will not work. Since you bought just now. I advice you to use few months without rooting it and enjoy those services.

Its a one way road to root there is no possible solution to unroot your device.

Thank you for your valuable advice unfortunately back glass of my device cracked a little just by falling from 1 feet height even there is an original Nillkin cover protecting the back side I am just stunned how weak these glasses are :(

Am I still under the warranty after the back glass is cracked or Samsung do not entertain physical damages?

One more question how much this back glass cost to replace?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam77744:
link pls.i see on flipcard ther 45k for s8

I dont think so physical warranty is covered under warranty. it is strange, even i have dropped it multiple times from 1-2 feet height.

I have watched on YouTube how to root using downloading mode but the problem my phone can't get into download mode. When I press power+volume up+bixby it gives me 3 options to select:

1.recovery mode

2.fastboot mode

3.Normal mode

When I press power+volume down+bixby it gives me a list of many options in Chinese. I am stuck and don't know what to do please help.

Guys can you pls recommend a good tempered glass for S8....I live near Gaffar should I go and try their(I know it is full of counterfeit products).

What you guys are using...??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kuduku:
None with cases as they press the tempered glass from sideways which inturn reduces sensitivity as contact with screen is less
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nexus_Munky:
I don't use a case.

Back glass repair- rs 3500

Front glass repair- rs11500

GUYS NEED HELP, I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE, WHEN MY S8 BATTERY HITS 15%, IT GOES 15 TO 0 IN LESS THAN 2 MINUTES.

I did some searching on reddit, some say if I clean flash the original firmware via odin, it'll fix it. Anyone had this issue, if yes please help me.

My phone's warranty is done, so if I go the service center, how much service charge should I be looking out for?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sp1312:
Flashing the original firmware will be done free of cost at service center. But if the battery is dead then it will cost you around 2900 INR.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] badelemental:
Good to see you here bro ... We even pre-ordered Note 7 lol :P

I remember Z2 days ... now compared to that S8+ looks so futuristic (except for that odd finger print scanner), anyways all I care about is that gorgeous display :)

I think this time I am gonna try Coral Blue, Wanted the same when I pre-ordered Note 7 but that didn't happen so hopefully this time :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentwitness1:
hey i think i found an app to do this, testing it right now on my s7edge, link below. backups can be scheduled also but that requires pro version.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en

I am hoping for the blue as well did ask him in the store but they were not sure for the colors.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vigneshnm:
I saw the description on play store and it sounds really good! At Rs. 268 for the pro version, it looks a little steep but with auto backup & push to the cloud....it's like the only feature i really liked about iPhone has come to Android. So well worth the money.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silentwitness1:
its still cheaper than titanium backup pro which is Rs. 400. The only issue with it is if you tend to turn off or restart your phone a lot you need to activate the backup features again via the pc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PG101:
And it does not back up all apps. There are many exceptions. When clicking on those apps, it says to contact the dev to add the app to helium backup list.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vigneshnm:
Oh that completely defeats the purpose. Does it do so even for app data? I saw in the app that there are two backup options, either the entire app or just the app data which would require re-downloading the app from play store.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nishant786:
Collection complete!
