[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] CptCrackers:
I've never run out of space on the sd, but there's only certain things that can be put there, so it was always half empty with like 29-31 GB of stuff clogging up the internal storage.

The s7, for people like me, made you choose between convenience and speed. That's frustrating for a phone that came out in 2016. Especially when the 64 or 128 s6 gave you the best of both worlds.

I feel like the 64 in the s8 will be enough that if I fill it it will only be every few months so less maintenance. If it has a uhs 3 reader and does adoptable storage then it's the best of every possible world. Maximum options for the maximum number of use cases.

I saw a Tested.com podcast once where they brilliantly slammed the s7 and the iphone at 32GB. They pointed out that these are the two specific phones where the least technical people are going to buy, and in the end, they are the two phones that will need you to mess with them if you take a lot of pics or download a lot of music. Meaning that for a less technical person, it's better to have the larger storage and that Apple and Samsung needed to raise their bottom number in order to not cause grief for their most common customer: the less technical user who buys the lowest price one because they don't know any better.

I get a LOT of calls from IT customers asking me to help them figure out how to get stuff off their 32 GB iphone or Galaxy because it's full. I hate that call. I didn't get into IT to babysit customer's personal music collection.

Maybe UFS support

Hi Y'all.

If this holds water:

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s8_s8plus_hands_on-review-1595.php

The card bay should be UFS supported like this:

But i haven't found confirmation anywhere else.

Looks liek passmark has a disk benchmark http://www.passmark.com/products/pt_mobile.htm. Whats the speed on that external SD card?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zoramac:
this is whats on Sandisk's website

Read Speed: up to 90MB/s5

Write Speed: up to 60MB/s5

Video Speed: C10, U3, V304

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] YellowGTO:
This thread is about the speed of the SD Card port, not the SD card itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zoramac:
Sorry, misunderstood. tried 3 different sd cards and they all fail in the passmark bench marking- unable to write..

fwiw a1 sd bench gives

73.9 read 51.1 write with the u3 card
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] YellowGTO:
Well that seems to be in line the U3 V30

[IMG="UHS Speeds"]https://i.imgur.com/vkbkSLL.png[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
As usual they don't seem to be able to clearly mark the speed of anything. I have a Sandisk Extreme Plus, rated at 95mb read, 90mb write. But it says U3 and V30 on it. Which according to that table can only do 30mb (except it DOES do 95/90), this is due to the quoted speeds for V30 etc being minimum speeds and not set speeds.

Most people also get confused over U3 speeds and UHS III bus type (which has a second row of pins to enable faster speeds but most devices do not support), the UHS III bus has only recently been agreed apparently (https://petapixel.com/2017/02/25/uhs-iii-sd-card-standard-announced-maxes-insane-624mbs/) and there are no cards out yet for it, so youll only get UHS II at best on the S8 and theres no way the S8 will support UHS III. Whether it even supports UHS II, I don't know, it really shouldn't be that hard to tell since it requires a whole extra row of pins but I have seen a dozen threads in forums asking the same question and not a single answer so far, someone even asked Samsung support and as expected, they were useless.

It's like the USB-C/USB3.0/USB3.1 all over again where you need to be a detective to work out whether you get usb 3.0 speeds, 3.1 gen1 speeds (5gbps) (which are often also referred to as 3.0) or 3.1 gen2 speeds (10gbps) (which are often referred to as just 3.1) from a particular cable or device. When these geniuses setting these standards are incapable of even getting the NAMING of these things right, you know we are in trouble!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Averix:
That's because the naming is done by marketing committee. More concerned with fancy pointless marketing names than really conveying what the technology is capable of. The 'name by committee' factor is in full effect too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
Then they should all be sacked for being useless at their jobs. Marketing is pointless if you create endless confusion for consumers (not to mention the opportunity for scam sub standard products taking advantage of the stupid ambiguous naming). Rule number 1 should be crystal clarity on 'spec x = speed y' with no possible confusion between spec x y or z!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] YellowGTO:
It's a minimum of 30MBps. you can probably hit 90MBps if you transferred 1 file that's over 90MB. It would be considerably slower if you transfered 90000 1kb files. Same with all storage mediums.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumbows:
Hey guys,

I've had some experience rooting other phones but never a Moto X before so I tried following this guide: https://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3200808

Then I got to the bit where it says if running 6.0 I need to follow these steps: https://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/general/root-moto-x-style-xt1572-br-marshmallow-t3259380

Went through that successfully and it seemed to work OK until I realised I had no wifi. It was toggled off so I tried turning it back on with no success. It just instantly toggles off as soon as I turn it on. So I just tried to revert back and try again by using the provided boot_orig.img but same thing. It removed the root but Wifi still has issues so I am thinking the img is probably wrong for my model despite it saying it is for the XT1572 model.

I searched for the wifi issue problem and found a few people having the same issues. Followed the guides about flashing twrp and loading SuperSu 2.62 which some stated fixed their issues. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. I'd still like to root but at this stage I just want to get wifi working but I think I'll need a proper boot image for my model of phone.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
So basically, you followed an ANCIENT guide that had you replace your kernel with one that is too old for your modem firmware. (That's a statement, not a question)

Hopefully you did a full backup in TWRP before you rooted, because you need to restore it, and then root properly... otherwise you need to reflash the stock firmware, but if you were on the latest version there no current firmware image available, so we have a conundrum.

Can you tell us your radio baseband and kernel versions from Settings - About Phone please?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumbows:
I didn't take a backup as TWRP broke during the process but the root worked. I am only on 6.0 so is that ok to resolve? I can't see the baseband details at the moment as I am boot looping due to trying to follow another guide on resolving my issues. Trying to load a stock rom on to my device through TWRP now. Will report back soon.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumbows:
OK I have managed to restore the phone to stock and got wifi working again which is great. Now to attempt rooting again. What method do you recommend for this phone running 6.0?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Magisk is probably the easiest now days, and most flexible but I haven't tested it... or the method in my signature which I know works.

Get the latest version of TWRP, and backup, and get it off the device... it can be a life saver later.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumbows:
OK yep installed TWRP, performed backup, flashed supersu, booted and confirmed root, updated supersu, downloaded and installed magisk.

Now what I want to do is load the sony framework and get a root cloak. Any ideas of best way for that?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Nope... Not a clue, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Bikram:
Hi all,

Just wondering if someone has any information on nougat updates for unlocked S7 edge devices in Canada. I bought the phone unlocked, not any cell carriers. I recently learned that Rogers, Bell and Telus all got their update. That is why I was wondering where is mine.

Any information is helpful.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
If your csc code is xac then its already out, was released on the 21st. Bell/wind got it first on the 13th or so, roger/telus/xac got it around the 20th, there's no reason you shouldn't have it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
you should get the update unless your phone was customized in some way not to receive OTA's.

You can get the update from sammobile and flash it yourself.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] gap30:
Real head scratcher this one!!

RN3 pro SD650 practically had it since day one of its release

Was using CM 13/14 and radon kernel all along

Always used to boast to all of my friends as i would regularly get 8-10 hours screen on time

Currently on the 03/29 build of LOS (TheStrix), radon 4.3, greenify

Getting 2-3 hours screen on time, i am a light user i dont use any social media apps

I have noticed this since jumping on the Nougat upgrade

Apps installed: Adaway, magisk, chrome, greenify, ES file pro, google maps, sdmaid pro, Mihome (camera at home)

Phone idle and LineageOS System are consuming 30% of the battery between themselves

I use my phone as i have always used it, have not changed anything apart from using magisk whereas previously i used the built in root with CM

I am not a new user who needs simple advice, I hopefully can figure out what is happening in the background

I dont really want to install a wakelock detector etc

I have even tried to reset app preference in the hope that will help

Whereas usually i would have a straight line on my battery graph with the slight dip now it is a constant dip

Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

Install wakelock detector see if anything stands out. Are the CPU's going into deep sleep? That sort of drain says otherwise.

[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vdChild:
I have Wi-Fi calling turned on and no issues
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] kperk:
Same here. After upgrading to Nougat on stock HTC 10 Verizon variant, when selecting the "Phone" icon from the app drawer it would say "Operation denied". Open up the all apps icon on the home screen. Select Phone icon and drag to the home screen and replace the old icon. You can now open the phone dialer. Hope this helps you too.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Atomix96:
I'm having the wifi calling issues as well. If wifi calling is turned on and I'm connected, it won't make calls out. If I'm connected to WiFi and turn off wifi calling it works fine. Haven't tried a factory reset yet but we'll see.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] drewcam888:
FYI factory reset didn't help me at all
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Atomix96:
Great. We can always try again after an RUU is available
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Atomix96:
Spoke to a Verizon rep online and they have not received any other reports of the wifi calling issue. Is anyone else experiencing issues with the play store and Google Assistant? Probably not related to the update but just wanted to ask.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] drewcam888:
While connected it an active wifi network you can;t dial out with wifi calling enabled. Not a phone icon issue on this one. I reported to verizon and they are sending a new phone
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] kperk:
Wi-Fi calling has never been a problem , I always have it enabled. Can dial out just fine on or off Wi-Fi network or 4G.

In response to the "OP" who also could not use his "stock dialer" same as me.

By going to the "all installed apps" and selecting the dialer icon you are using the stock dialer version 8.10.878172 thereby replacing the "leftover" Version 7 Marshmallow dialer. Thats why it would say "operation denied" when using the "old" dialer icon.

Again, this solved my problem. Without having to fatory reset. Nothing to do with Wi-Fi calling in this instance.

[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] drewcam888:
So I did more investigation on my wifi calling issue. For the people people that said wifi calling works after the update. Under the roaming preferences do you have it set to prefer wifi or cellular. If i have wifi selected no outgoing calls can be made if you are connected to a wifi network.

A neat trick.... Thank [MENTION=2967322]buckmarble[/MENTION]

You need nova launcher, and the prime addon possibly

Set nova as the default launcher

Open nova setting in app drawer

Select gestures and inputs

Scroll down to gestures, and select one... I used double tap

Select shortcuts

Then activities (has nova icon)

Scroll to settings, then submenu to Wi-Fi calling (blue icon with signal bars)

Double tap on the main screen, and a new menu should appear asking if your Wi-Fi calling preference is Wi-Fi or cellular, it should be set to cellular by default. Switch it and see if it makes phone calls primarily on Wi-Fi then

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeytools:
Ok I have googled and googled this to find all kinds of people having the same problem. iHeartRadio will play untill screen shuts down then will play for a few then stops playing. So I have looked at wifi settings is set to always. Battery saver is off. Here is one thing I have noticed if I use the aux cable it works fine. I have deleted​ app and data and reinstalled but still

The same. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

PS also swapped ROMs to.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hello...

Maybe go in iHeartRadio settings. Isn't there an option to select "keep app on when screen goes off" or something similar?

Have you tried to unoptimize it? Doze is killing it maybe?

Go in Settings > Battery > three dot menu tap "battery optimization"

On the drop down menu, choose all apps. Tap on iHeartRadio and select: "Don"t optimize".

Hoping it will save your issue...

Cheers...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geezerooo:
Like 5.1 says, unoptimize it in the battery settings and then your fine. You have to do that with Google music as well.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeybuttons:
I'm having the same issue. It is listed as not optimized.

Amazon Music used to do this on my Nexus 5, but now on the 6P it decided the Iheartradio app will do it instead. The Nexus 5 issue also persisted across ROMs and factory resets.

Maybe it's an app issue that only affects a few people with very specific settings or something?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
This is far from an ideal solution but if turning off battery optimization doesn't fix the problem there are apps in the Play Store that keep the screen on when you are using specific apps. You could choose to leave the screen on when using iHeartRadio.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
I have read a few posts about Gmail notifications not going through even after turning "optimization off" for the app. And people reporting that doze affects other parameters at the same time that cause notification trouble.

Maybe this case can be assimilated, but in another way.

You can try Killing doze completely and see how iHeartRadio behaves. Open a command prompt and issue:

adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable

It should return something like:

Deep idle mode disabled

Light idle mode disabled

Check iHeartRadio behavior after that. If it fixed the issue, you know that doze may be the culprit or maybe the app developer didn't implement a new policy for doze and/or when screen turns off.

You can revert the ADB shell command with either:

adb shell dumpsys deviceidle enable

Or with a reboot.

I'd send iHeartRadio developer an email to let them know your issue. If other users already reported it and if they are working on a fix...

Good luck... :good:

I thought dirty cow made all phones easier to root? I have to have Arise.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
I did read they had locked the bootloader so rooting and custom roms would be a problem. But that might only be for the snapdragon ones. I will need to find out what the situation is because if I can't get my custom roms on it and have things like xposed then I'm simply not interested in it. Luckily I'm in the UK so maybe the exynos version will be ok.

I am also wondering whether the S8 and S8+ use the same bootloader? If they do then the phones are effectively identical in terms of hardware AND software and roms should work on either device?

Although with the price, the crappy battery, and the dishonest way they have seemingly put out battery life numbers which are based on running it at 1080 and NOT its native 1440, simply so they can get a similar comparison to the S7 (which WAS running at 1440), I am wondering whether I should even bother. Although I am not sure what else there is out there. Pixel is too expensive considering it uses an old chipset, the G6 is a bit on the weak side with the chipset again, I havent really looked at the Sony but I'm not really a fan of Sony in general.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Quickvic30:
I'm sure someone will leak a eng.kernel for the US SD835 models, that's has happened with the S7 and S7e. That will allow root for us, takes a little more work to get it running good as the eng.kernels are just meant for development and unlocking devices so the kernel CPU settings are all messed up.
