What app did you use to debloat
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jasonzarko:
What is needed to debloat? The version of U.S model is unlocked from carriers, so nothing that I have seen that is from other carriers. Did I miss something?

Personally, I am kinda glad its the Snapdragon variant we have in Canada. Allows us to use the Google Pixel HDR+ Camera port :P
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] geokilla:
I'd rather have proper root and custom ROM support. But since I'm not the one using the S8, then it doesn't bother me too much. Though it is stopping me from buying one to replace my OnePlus One. Those Koodo deals are freaken awesome right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Any time I try that port the quality isn't as good as the stock phone. Also I would rather have TWRP and beta 3 based roms (as well as the possibility of AOSP).

I don't understand why our American friends can get their S8 rooted and have custom ROM support, yet we got nothing. The phones are largely the same aren't they? I know our bootloader is locked but that's it I think?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Canada used to be a "safe haven" while the US was getting locked bootloaders.... But that seems to be over.... It's not Samsung that is imposing this - It's the Carriers who want it - I think that Hong Kong & the rest of China have Snapdragon AND Unlocked Bootloaders.... China for crying out loud... But not Canadians or our Friends to the South.. ?? ?? ?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
We can "root" the Snapdragon S8 / S8+ just the same as the US - But the Bootloader is Locked for both - And since the Bootloader is still locked - There's no TWRP - So for me I don't think that it's worth it - Besides there's a lot you can do with adb commands and several apps that normally require Root ??

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Kutusov:
I'm lost and I've found a lot of apparently contradictory information on the internet but how do the updates for this phone work? Last OTA I got was on December and no Nougat nor security patches since then. Checking for updates manually don't come up with any. My security patch is from 16th of November!

It's a supposedly unlock phone that I bought in Germany but is now running on a Portuguese network. Shouldn't be an issue but people have insisted it's why it's not updating. Help me out here, I'm at a loss...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Kutusov:
Hah! No mystery or conspiracy on why I'm not getting updates then! Thank you so much Max!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
No problem mate...

But remember you will only get the DTM upgrade (Germany) not from Portugal...upgrades are CSC specific
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Kutusov:
That's OK, I really just want the security patches, I don't even run my phone in Portuguese or have any sort of network specific software going on. AFAIK, NOS stopped bothering about bloatware a long time ago, their phones are locked free international versions so I would be on a similar boat if I had bought it here from them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Xephyrex:
So since the Galaxy S8's announcement and its release right around the corner, there is a Chinese site that claims there is a China-exclusive Galaxy S8 boasting 6GB worth of RAM. How likely is this to be true, given that the west will be receiving 4GB RAM variants? If this is true, I don't think I will buy the 'western' variant, rather I'd be looking to get China's exclusive 6GB edition. What are your thoughts?

This isn't the first time samsung released a 6gb phone in china, whether it'll work on the us network is anyones guess.

My phone was in repair shop so when it's returned I updated this directly from clean B200 and then I restored my backup - everything working OK, only few app are missing notification sound and status bar notifications (like Facebook, and messenger) but I'm not sure with what it's related. Tried to reinstall this apps and clear data, but nothing. Any advice?

EDIT: Problem solved - I did factory reset and then restored backup. I did not do factory on clean B200 after returned from service, so maybe that was problem.. So, for now, everything works fine on B394.

Some calendar improvements apparently, but still no 'Fortnightly' setting under Repetition, which I'm not impressed with!

Am liking the new 'Eye comfort' mode though, which I've enabled more or less on a permanent basis. Apart from the drop-down Shortcuts menu in the pic below, it can also be accessed via Settings > Display > Eyesight Protection.

"Eye comfort mode filters out blue light to help relieve visual fatigue when you read for a long period of time. In eye comfort mode, the screen will have a yellowish tint. This is normal"

MoDaCo has picked up on a recent popup that occurs when you try and sign into Windows Live Messenger from a Windows Mobile powered device. The following message is displayed:

"Hello! Starting today, your 30 day trial period beings. By selecting OK you acknowledge that your use of Windows Live services continues to be subject to the Terms of Use and Privacy Statement. Data charges from your mobile operator, including..."

Microsoft has hinted in the past that it could simply flick a switch and charge for the service and it appears that may have occured today. We have contacted Microsoft regarding this and the company is currently looking into the issue and will respond shortly.

"[UPDATED 08/01/08 4:00pm - OK, finally word from Microsoft. Here’s what I got from Matt Champagne, director of Windows Live mobile services:

This week we rolled out a direct-to-consumer billing service for the Windows Live client on Nokia S60 in the UK and Sweden. Although we are considering doing the same at a future time for Windows Mobile, this has not been implemented – however, something happened and many of you saw a trial message on Windows Mobile devices. Windows Mobile customers shouldn’t have received any notifications of a 30-day trial and we are working as quickly as possible to correct this.

As you may know, we offer Messenger services through mobile operators on lots of handsets, not just Windows Mobile. Traditionally, customers have been billed by their mobile operators for many of these services, either directly or through their data package.]"

so relax guys n gals. no need to raid MS yet :D
[P3600 ROM Development] Lost_in_translation:
I do not see a reason to relax, neither do I see a reason to use msn/Live. There are and have been better messengers with less security problems, and MS has - time and time again - said that they will eventually charge all users for this service.

Guess when that will happen? Right: As soon as AIM and ICQ fold...

Hi everyone,

I have a Logitech G930 wireless headphone and when I connect it to my phone (Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge) it almost works perfectly.

So the volume is too low. I set it to maximum but it's not even close to the level when I use the headphone with my PC.

I can use the headphone to control my phone(start/stop music and set volume).

There is a dongle for the headphone. It is connected to my phone via OTG.

Is there any way I can increase the volume without rooting my phone?

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] KGB7:
Im also wondering why this firmware is for people who are outside of US.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] faronium:
I think they just mean that if you have an AT&T phone in the US you would get the updates as OTAs and likely before any of the flashable images showed up on the web. You would be less likely to need to flash a stock firmware. But, I could be wrong.

I have baseband : g891aucu1apg7

Unlocked at&t and outside us, should i upgrade it directly to this firmware or i need to step up my baseband one at a time?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] jembot:
See bullet points below:

* A person buys this AT&T exclusive phone, it is network-unlocked so that any SIM card will work (even those from other countries)

* That person brings the phone outside of the US but still plans on using it with a non-AT&T SIM card (a consultant, a businessman, a tourist, etc..).

Or maybe that person lives in another country and just wants to use this particular phone.

* However, AT&T OTA (Over-The-Air) incremental updates only work "within" AT&T network (an AT&T subscriber).

* Therefore, since that person is using a non-AT&T SIM on this phone, automatic OTA updates will NOT trigger/work.

* The solution is to "manually flash" the OTA update by obtaining a copy of that file--Then manually flash it, either via "Modified-ODIN" or via the "Standard Recovery Mode" -- This works, and should not stop people in the US (who are also AT&T subscribers) to use it.

* This is just a work-around-OTA-update (manual flash) for those people outside the US or for those people using a non-AT&T SIM card (US or non-US).

* It should be noted that an OTA update is only a PARTIAL update that is dependent on the currently installed version.

For example: If there is an update "version D" available, the person must ensure that his phone's current firmware is "version C". If not, then that person would have to find the missing updates first before flashing to the latest OTA: "ver A --> ver B --> ver C --> ver D"

This is time consuming and confusing to some, therefore... It is preferable to have ONE complete package, all-in.

* Thus the existence of this STOCK FULL FIRMWARE file. It contains the complete files and drivers necessary to quickly update that person's phone directly to the recent/latest version without worrying about version dependencies or incompatibilities.

* This full firmware update will ERASE your settings and data, so back them up with known methods.

* This firmware update will not change your network/sim-lock status. If yours is unlocked, it will stay unlocked.

This firmware update contains the following files:

AP_G891AUCU2BQB2_CL10651105_QB12578871_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar
