[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Duncan1982:
The Black is Sublime & gave careful consideration, but being OCD with keeping my phone clean it would be in overdrive with smudgey fingerprints (always a clear case i know). Very much hope you enjoy your Black version (I'm sure you will) & you should as you pre ordered early get it on the date states on their web site.....

Being a Sky customer i opted for them as it keeps everything all in one bill....And they also have the 8 day early policy....[emoji2]

Hahaha in 3 years I've had about 30 phones it's craaaazy, i just get to tempted and then that irrational part of my brain wins every time lol.....

No it's not a huge gulf of a step up with the S7 Edge & S8+ but i also had the S7 Edge (Sold to buy the 3T) which I'm using now. Missed certain great features of the S7 so next progressive step was to buy the S8+ (there is some logic there)....

Hope you all enjoy your new S8's or S8+'s.....[emoji2]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pro4ever:
Are they showing the s8/s8+ in Samsung store?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Duncan1982:
They should be (not where i am) Northern Scotland as we only have Tesco's with a very small mobile section......
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xile6:
I order the grey.

I always get black phones and was very mad about the note 7 crap since i had a black s7 edge and then back note 7, Then had to go back to the edge and tmobile stop selling the black ones so end up with blue. While i like blue it just isnt as smooth as the black.

But with the s8 being black on front and color on the back i didnt mind switching it so much.

Also the black look a bit funny to me. Kinda to plain i guess.

So yea with with grey and i didnt rush to preorder took my time and made sure it was worth the money i was spending.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
I am trying to decide between black and grey (our only choices). The black does look a bit plain, and the grey in pictures looks a bit too pink and more like a girl colour, but I have heard a couple of people say it isn't like that in real life it's just the pictures. So I'm not sure. Also not sure which one will show fingerprints the black or the grey, probably black I guess as it will be more shiny. I will probably not be able to get to a shop to look at it before I pre-order tomorrow will will have to make a choice before then.

Ok I went for the black, I prefer how the black back blends in perfectly with the black on the front and sizes vs the other colours.....only to have carphonewarehouse then send an email 2 hours later saying they had cancelled my order....with no explanation at all. Rang them up and they still couldn't tell me why they had cancelled it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Duncan1982:
Hmmmm sounds odd but always 02 or EE but be quick.....[emoji12]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
Well CPW are a joke. After that first attempt, I ordered it again....this time 2 hours later I get an email saying it had been cancelled again, due to an "information mismatch". I know for a fact the details were all correct and were the same as the previous attempt. I then rang them up to find out wtf was going on, starting at sales who couldn't tell me the exact issue so they passed me on to the web team, who couldnt tell me anything because the order had been cancelled, so they passed me on to customer services....who cut me off. I tried one final time, and in the most hillarious email of all, got a reply an hour later saying it had failed and was cancelled once again "due to you failing the credit check criteria required by the network you selected." Credit check?!?! network??? I had not selected a network, all 3 times I had ordered the handset only, sim free, my order confirmations even confirm that. There was no credit check to be done! And if they HAD done a credit check, it would have come back as pretty much perfect anyway! Unbelievable. I then went and ordered it from John Lewis instead and it went through straight away, same 20th Apr delivery date, I just won't get the free £99 speaker. Frankly after this crap, CPW can keep the speaker! I would have considered ordering from EE (I am with EE) or from o2, but I don't quite trust that it would be unlocked from them, I guess it would be but John Lewis is doing the same delivery date anyway (and they had damn well better deliver it on that day since I will be waiting in for it from work!).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Duncan1982:
Yes I've heard mixed reports from CPW and similar circumstances to yourself, people getting declined credit check when they have a great credit rating. Also customer service is well below acceptable standards.

Personally i have had no desire to use them (Sky mobile just launched and it wraps everything up in a nice one off bill) i have sky broadband, phone, Sky Q and now Mobile (all went as it should).

Glad you got it sorted in the end and you live & lean to stay clear of CPW....[emoji12]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bishmaster5000:
I just went and saw the phone at Best Buy, because you just can't trust pictures to accurately portray the color these days. The orchid gray was more like gray with a hint of plum, very muted color, pretty much just a darker gray indoors. The black was far less shiny than the Note 7's black, so less of a fingerprint magnet, but still showed fingerprints more than the other colors. Coral blue and maple gold are not available here, so it looks like arctic silver is the color for me. I liked that color on the Note 7, but since the color wrapped around to the front it was far too blinding for me to use. Not a problem on the S8+.

Well I still haven't ordered yet, still not 100% convinced I can't just wait until the Note 8 comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Duncan1982:
I much prefer the Note range but the S8+ is a beautiful device with enough to convince me to buy. That said i am a tech enthusiast & quite enjoy testing out as many devices as my wallet will allow. What i usually do is flip each device to buy the next (yes it means putting some added money in) but it works for me, plus someone else gets the enjoyment of whatever device sold..

So I'll be using the S8+ until the Note 8 and no doubt sell to acquire.....(it's how a roll.....[emoji12] ) my own upgrade programme.

Looking forward to getting a hands on look at the S8+ with what is a great design & will be a great device.

My honest thoughts are that Samsung perhaps should have went Duel Camera for the plus, along with 6gb Ram (just to separate from the regular S8)...

The fingerprint reader placement is perhaps Samsung being deliberately obtuse....[emoji12] thus forcing you to adopt their other two bits of tech (facial recognition, iris scanner).. this is not a deterrent obviously, but i really don't like it even before hands on,....

Overall I think Samsung should have placed just a bit more thought into certain elements and i think this will have a bit of a negative effect, but they have Excelled again in design, and UI is nice, Screen, come on the Camera was great in the S7 & Edge (So not a huge impact on me here), see how bixby performs and the overall feel.....

The Note 8 will be purchased though as i believe the force touch tech will be ready and fingerprint reader will be underneath the display.....[emoji3]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bishmaster5000:
I'm with you there, the stylus isn't a deal breaker for me, but it's one of my top wanted features. There used to be more that differentiated the S and the Note series, I was more on the Note side back then.

As soon as I got the S8+ in my hands I went from 50 to 90% convinced that I needed to dump my V20. It just feels like future tech, while the V20 feels like something from 3 years ago. S8+ feels amazing and the display looks like nothing else out there.

I generally try to sell my old devices, but if I'm unable to find a decent price I have no problems holding on to it. It's always fun to go back to my old phones and see what Android was like back then. My GS1 still runs like a champ on an XDA dev's rom, forget the rom name, but it turned that phone from nearly unusable to quite competent for it's day.

Dual camera would have been nice, I'd definitely like to see what Samsung could do with that. The V20 has dual, but it takes pretty terrible pictures. My Note 7 took amazing pictures, so I'm pretty excited to play with the S8+ camera more.

I actually like the fingerprint sensor being on the bottom, like the V20. For the way I use the phone it's much more convenient for me, I'm just going to have to train my finger to not touch the camera. Most of the time I don't need to use it anyway since my watch unlocks the phone while it's close.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrClean69:
I've owned the Note 2/3/4 and this was the first phone I've been remotely excited about. I thought about waiting to see what the Note 8 had in store for us, but I don't use the stylus much (maybe once a week or less). I've held onto the Note 4 for so long because of the replaceable battery, with all the new models going to sealed backs, I figured I might as well get used to it. If I don't like the S8+ or just can't live without the Note 8, I'll give my son the S8+.

Ordered the arctic silver version.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bonerp:
note 8 will be wider. Only thing I'm hesitant about (even tho ordered!) is the width and the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
Exact same thing with me, I had a Gold S6 before, the black option looks amazing so I pre-ordered the phone in black. Shipping starts on the 20th and I was one of the first ever to pre-order it, meaning I will probably be one of the first to get it too :fingers-crossed:

Ever since the first leaks of the black variant I wanted to get mine in black, the color looks so amazingly slick and clean, an uniform piece of screen and amazing design
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bonerp:
The note 8 will have curves the same as the note 7 did...which was wider than the s7.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MajorAly:
Had 3 colour options here in KSA.

Midnight Black, Orchid Gray and Maple Gold.

First pre-ordered Orchid Gray colour as looked kind of cool and such, but the doubts quickly got the best of me and I ended up changing to the tried and tested (and my favourite colour) black.

Pretty sad that the coral blue isn't available here for the time being.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] androidoholic:
I ordered the Orchid Gray from Samsung for Verizon. All my phones before have been black, so I just wanted something different.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xgman:
looking at all these in person at best buy, the back color seems less important (due to case use) than the edges. To me the all black edges looked better than the silver or slightly purple looking greys. But they are all rather nice. I would have preferred a dark matte black finish. I'm over the piano black trend, but since it wasn't available, I'll still pick the shiny black one since I will be using a case. You could also go with the black matte dbrand skin on the back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nubianlesbo:
I purchased a Huawei Y6 in July 2016 of last year.

Although it is a good mid-low end phone, It's limited in it's capabilites without root compared to other Samsung devices like the Galaxy S2, S3 I've had in the past.

I tried to root it but the only option was Kingroot which I believe gave it a 'half root' due to restrictions from the bootloader e.g AdAway couldn't modify /sys/ files. I looked online on the Huawei website and I saw that they can offer unlock but I believe there's been an ongoing problem along with the actual unlock website not being in English that made me give up a few months ago.

So, my question is, could I take it to a company online that would unlock it for a price? I don't mean the network code but rather the phone itself.

I have a xda IIs, and yesterday when i tried upgrading it to the new rom, from o2's website, there was a connection error during the upgrade (for no apparent reason), but now it is stuck in what looks like a bootloader so something, with just usb v2.07 on the screen.

So i was just wondering if anyone could help me, as i could really do with it working.

p.s. i didn't know if it's possible to load a live rom or anything from a sd card, like you would a computer.

plus i don't mind if it can't run windows as long as theres an operating system i could use on it, that would allow me to use the wifi.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICWS:
Hi Guys,

I got a preowned device, since I own it it has been broken. Don't know what its old owner did.

I know there are a lot of similar problems out there, but:

I guess my device has no boot, no recovery, not whatever. But It is recognized by computer (shows USB), fastboot is accessible.

I flashed a lot of zips, none worked. Apparently bootloader was unlocked, now it is relocked. I think the big problem is: I got OS 7.18.111.51. This is a german T-Mobile Software, nowhere I found a fitting RUU. I found an OTA Zip, but flashing won't work. All zips are failing because of many reasons: signature verification failed, CID doesnt fit, even all the RUUs are canceling. All are beginning writing boot and then some kind of verification is failing.

I even tried unlocking bootloader, but then it reboots and freezes while entering recovery.

I really need some help. Is there still anything I can do?

Thanks in advance.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] telephonemike:
Hi,

To start this is more a fun project than a real solution.

Brief background.... Staying in a hotel and trying to use more than 3 devices on the free in room wifi can be a problem. I brought my spare airport express and after connecting my mac to the wifi I then changed the mac address on the airport express to the same as my mac. Once I then disconnected my mac from the hotel wifi and connected to the AE. As that was now using the already authorized mac address, bingo I could repeat the hotel wifi and not have to worry about how many devices were connected to it. I also allowed me to use my Chromecast as well so a real bonus.

Moving along to my current challenge. I am going on a 12 hour flight (two flights but total air time is about 12 hours) and thinking that my wife and I can share the connection by using my rooted Moto X 1097 and using it as a wifi repeater like the AirPort Express. I found an app that does this but is no longer supported and wont run on my Moto X 6.0.1 I think you can share wifi data via bluetooth but am wanting to connect 2 iPhones while on the plane and doing it over wifi without having to pay for 2 accounts.

FQROUTER looks like it would of been perfect but doesn't run and based on searches this seems to be the case with many others.

Anyone here have any other suggestions for getting this to work? Yes I will just bring a book or season 2 of Mr Robot.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] gil_happy:
Hello,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer my sms/mms messages from one Android phone to another. Here is my setup:

Nexus 6 (Android version 7.0 - rooted) ==> Google Pixel XL (Android version 7.1.1 - unrooted Verizon)

Normally I would use MyBackup Pro to do the transfer, but unfortunately the Verizon Pixel XL cannot be rooted when it is 7.1.1. So I tried using SMS Backup & Restore, but unfortunately many (or most) of the pictures in the MMS messages did not transfer, but otherwise all SMS messages were transferred.

It looks like there is a native Android option to transfer apps, messages, etc when making a direct connection using a cable, but I'm not sure if I want to do that because it looks like it transfers everything (apps, messages, logs, pictures, etc), but I really only want to transfer the messages.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best method to get all of my SMS/MMS messages with all of the pictures included?

Thanks in advance!
