[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FluxionFluff:
I was considering getting it either directly from AT&T or elsewhere, but went with Best Buy for the exact same reason you did -- to save up to $100 on the device, haha. :P

Ordered the S8 in Orchid Gray last night in-store, and expected on 4/21. The guy who helped me with the pre-order said that they'd call/e-mail me once the device arrived to the store. Anyone that pre-orders will get priority to those who simply walk in at launch, which is why they contact you, so you can pick it up ASAP.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eddie Hicks:
Oddly Best Buy has the S8 retail price at 819.99 and Verizon list it at 720.00. But the monthly payments purchasing at Best Buy is 27.91, which is 2.09 less than Verizon's 30.00 monthly charge. Why does Best Buy list the phone a hundred dollars more retail than Verizon? I think maybe it has something to do with Geek Squad coverage. The service charge for phones over 800.00 is 199.99 and it's 149.99 for phones under 800.00.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] facedown41:
Ordered mine for verizon from bestbuy. After I confirmed my verizon info it took the price of the S8 down from 27.91 a month to 23.91 a month stating some change from verizon. Probably a glitch but hopefully it holds true.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xgman:
Any idea when best Buy is shipping? Seems like everywhere else will get it early incl Verizon direct now. Bummer...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jroyalty7:
When I ordered at my local bestbuy store the rep told me that last year they had galaxy s7s in stock for a week or 2 before release and word didnt come down to release them until the day of (which was a week early and a surprise to staff etc...according to him) so I'm sure we won't hear a word until at least Monday. Unless someone decides to call and harass customer service lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smooth703:
Would have done mine online but it said the black was sold out within 250 miles of my store. Ended up going inside and doing it they said online was not correct
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iteam:
As usual I called Best buy and the manager said they have all the of the preorders and stock in the back rooms but can't release them til Friday the 21st!!! Gid why can't they release them on Wednesday like others are receiving them. Mine is 5 miles away in a back room!!! So aggravating
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blues fan:
Again that's dumb. If you purchased the product and it's in stock they should let you have it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iteam:
You're telling me!

Happens every release for any product at best buy! I even flert and offered 2 other people $50 cash to get my order and they say they will get in trouble! So lame

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smcg23:
I have experienced the dreaded Samsung screen of death, 6 days ago I received a text and saw the blue flashing notification light but minutes later when i picked up the phone, the screen was black and not responsive. I have tried every hard and soft reset option, from holding power button and volume buttons to holding all 4 buttons at the same time but nothing has worked. Does anyone have any other suggestions before i send it away for repair? Will allowing the battery to die have any effect? The light is still flashing six days later.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenoko:
Try to enter in recovery mode (Phone must be off, then hold volume up, home and power)

Look for message on the bottom on the screen

Did you see any unnormal message, like "error" or something?

If you can't turn off the phone, then restart him, holding for min. 7 seconds volume down and power. If you see a screen reaction, then quickly hold the "recovery mode" sequence.

Hello

I am facing problem with the OTA updates

i.e when i am flashing the stock rom to my phone i has to install my OTA updates which has been given by the provider

there are more than 4 updates i have to install

every time i am flashing the burden is to install the all four update . It's taking a huge time (about three to four hours)

is there any thing to integrate the OTA updates directly to a flashable file

i copied the OTA updates to sdcard before installing the update, so i have a backup of that updates

how can i integrate the updates to the stock flash file so that there is no need to install the updates again

i have a qualcomm snapdragon processor chipset and i am using qualcomm flash tools to flash the files

my phone: Lyf flame 1 (ls4503) running 5.1.1

MKBHD posted a very cool wallpaper for the iPhone 7 which had a graph background with labels for everything like Signal, battery, etc. which you can check out here:

https://twitter.com/MKBHD/status/837727947096129538?s=09

I wanted a similar wallpaper but for Android and after hours of searching, couldn't find one. So I made my own?

Now since Android is very customisable in the case of launchers, it is virtually impossible to make a universal wallpaper for the home screen. But the lockscreen is not that customisable (without root) so I made one for the lockscreen too!

If you want the same for your home screen, I have posted my Nova Launcher backup, which can be restored to get the same layout as mine and then the wallpaper will fit perfectly ?

I have posted the wallpapers for the lockscreen, home screen and some screenshots which can be found in the downloads at the bottom of this post.

The Nova Launcher backup can be downloaded from here:

Hi there, I know it is quiet lot to ask but could you provide the .psd file for this wallpaper? I want to create one for my device but I am not very good at photoshop to make everything from scratch.

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] shreyamt:
I can't give you the .PSD file right now but what I can do is that I will create another post on a guide on how to edit the .PSD file which I will attach in that post and you can download it from there. But you'll have to be a little patient because it will take some time :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikkoEmFiftyTwo:
To anyone who is good at software, can you please modify Google Now Launcher for me? I want the swipe up app drawing just like the one in the Pixel Launcher. As much as possible, make the look exactly like it and post the file here.

Reasons I want this:

-Installing Pixel Launcher won't allow me to swipe left to Google since it is not built in to the system.

-I still love Google Now Launcher

-I like the functionality of Google Now Launcher except I'm tired of that classic app drawer button

-I love the swipe up to get to the apps

To whoever does this for me, thank you so much. You are the man.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prosis:
Yeah, your best bet will be to install Nova Launcher and customize it. You can set a swipe action to open Google Now (not swipe left). But that's the best you'll get.

I went with black on Sprint. I wanted the coral blue but they only have black,grey and silver(I think it was) available. It will be covered with a Batman case anyway so I guess the color isn't really an issue.

You won't see the coral blue anyway because if you know what is good for you, you will use a case and you won't see anything but black color. Lame.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bishmaster5000:
Well there are such a thing as clear cases. But me, I never use case and I've never broken a phone either. Some of us just aren't that clumsy (or like me-super clumsy but somehow manage to always save the phone from damage).

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
I get why the front of all colors is black - to hide the gazillion sensors and make the glass look even more infinite. But that means all but the black phones are two-tone. Purple/Black, Blue/Black, etc. My first Note7 was black and I ordered it because I liked the monochromatic look. My second Note7 was Blue Coral and I missed the black one after a couple of weeks of use. Samsung took care of my remorse by taking my phone away completely. I went with the S8+ in black to again get back to the monochromatic look. The "gotcha" with such a dark color is that the hairline scratches on the glass back accumulated over time will be much more noticeable than with lighter colors.

Orchid grey - because It looks different at all angles and has almost all silver sides, 1 tiny nick in the black version aluminum and you will see the silver under it.. From most pictures it doesn't look TOO much like something prince would rock.

the black and silver are just boring, Wish we got Emerald Green!

Att preorder on next every 12 month plan via best buy is actually like $11 a month cheaper than this crappy iphone 6s+ I have been stuck with for over a year.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FluxionFluff:
This exactly! I don't get black devices for that reason. >.< I found it straight up hilarious that when Apple released the Jet Black color for the iPhone 7, as they ACTUALLY put a warning to put a case or something on it because it WILL show scratches SOOO easily!! Though, I do wonder which is more prone to scratches? The glass or aluminium back?

OMG, I know!!! That was sooo prettyyyyy~!!! <3 I also wished that the Coral Blue color was available since I would have gotten that, instead of Orchid Gray (not that Orchid Gray isn't pretty, but hey, it's more interesting than silver and black), but as of now, that and Maple Gold are for international markets. Maybe the US will get one of those down the road, but who knows... :/
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xile6:
Got the Orchid Grey not sure why lol...

I normally like black phones. I dont care for sliver phones they just look funny to me.

Most of my phones have been black (list in sign). My s7e was black and look great, then got a black n7 which was great but recall crap. And wanted another black s7e but tmobile stop selling them so had to get the coral blue. While the blue is nice looking it just hasnt been all that to me. Colored phones take way from the front of the phone.

So i am glad that the front of the s8 are all black.

I was going to get the black model but started to look at the trimming of the phone and just thought to myself i wonder what its made of and what will happen if it gets scratch. One phone i had was just painted black and scratches would show up in another color looking very bad.

So went with grey to get the grayish trim.

But after everything i dont think it matters as i will have it in a case all the time.
