[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The-Last-Hylian:
I'm still undecided on the S8 or Pixel XL...

I 'think' I'm going S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
Camerawise the XL and S8 are very close. Otherwise the XL is better in every category you'll find except maybe display. The blacks on the S8 display are gorgeous. Better battery, better speed, smoother and lots less bloat on the XL.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The-Last-Hylian:
AAAaaargh it's hard as I really want an S8 as I love the look of it... I wonder if camera updates will help the camera down the line... I just wish that the Pro mode had 30s shutter as I love that on my Huawei P9.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
For me its the S8 without even thinking
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infobits:
Comparing my new Galaxy S8 display with my old Galaxy S5 display and the S8 does have the reddish tint compared to the pure white look of the S5. Even after adjusting the color settings to get the S8 as white as possible. What surprises me most though is that the older S5 display seems to go brighter than the S8 display. Hmmm? So what's all the hoopla about the S8 AMOLED display as if it is new? The S5 had AMOLED display too and it has no red tint and it is just as bright or brighter! Although it is a tiny bit smaller at 5.1" vs 5.8" size. Anyone else have an S5 and S8 to compare and tell us what they see?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimzoid:
I'm still using an s5 will let you know when my s8 arrives tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Thanks man we're waiting :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimzoid:
No worries, still waiting for delivery.. Do you know Samsung is releasing an update to address the red tint apparently it will allow further adjustment to the colours.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Yes i read that few days ago, i hope they fix this issue very soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fiili:
Carefull while updating to new FW. Notification LED and Edge screen do not work anymore.

Officially admitted by Samsung service.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infobits:
Where did you get this info? Confirm your source please. As far as I saw searching the web, the new Red Tint software update was released already only in Korea. Anyone from Koriea able to confirm if the update fixes the red tint and red tinted edges issue? And does the update cause any other problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fiili:
My brand new S8 from Italy, auto updated day after I bought.

After update no more notification LED, nor notification edge.

Written to Samsung service, got the replay it is a known issue (known to who....) to be solved soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Infobits:
When did you get your phone. The latest Red Tint update is not even released anywhere but Koriea right now. The update you got was probably the first update they sent out, not the upcoming Red Tint fix update. That's my guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fiili:
I preordered and received on the 18th.

Guess update I got is that to solve Brixie button reprogramming.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimzoid:
Awesome my package is with driver for delivery...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimzoid:
Had a day with mine and so far it's better than my s5 in everyway and no red tint on mine, the whites are white. Loving the new software and ease of customisation, also had a 300mb system update this morning. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramirrat:
Galaxy S8 supports MHL? If no, how DeX is working?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Was it solved by the OTA you got ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fiili:
Don' know, I don't use Bixby.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Okay man :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Any S8 user here ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
I use one. Tmobile variant.. What was the question again?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
I read somewhere that some users have micro lags here and there, did you face any of it ? Also how is battery life ? Thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
Well, I disabled and uninstalled every single preinstalled app that I could. I have it themed black with Samsung built in theme and use the paid Nova Launcher and i have not noticed any lag what so ever. I have used it for a month now and the battery life is on par with my Pixel XL and a million times better than the LG G6. I would say its the smoothest fastest devices I've ever run besides the Pixel XL.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Wow thanks for your feedback mate :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pixellegolas:
I generally am impressed by my phones for like a day or two and then it just feels old or "now I know this phone". But the s8....I just can't seem to be able to put it down. I am amazed every day of how good it looks, how fast it is and the colors on the screen....come on...!!!! I was looking at HTC 10 for audio and LG G6 also but when I saw it in store there was no question :) Went from LG G3 and what a leap

And now are talking stock rom but everything just feels so good. Just the small details here and there in the system
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Its one of the best devices ever made ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramirrat:
MHL avaliable?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
What is this ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramirrat:
Tv-OUT, wasn't available on S5/6/7
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] russ18uk:
Supports USB-C alt mode. DisplayPort out, which can be converted to HDMI and have USB 3.1 and Ethernet features. Even VGA. Plenty of cheap dongles on the market for this thanks to Apple.

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

Yes it was on the S5 with an 11pin MHL adapter.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DFA1:
Does anyone else's hand/thumb have to do yoga just to reach and pull down the notification bar? What is up with the 18.5 by 9 aspect ratio? I now have bars on all my apps and videos. If it's for watching videos (in the future), I'm thinking thats best left for televisions? I'm going to give the phone a try for a week, but so far it's too tall/narrow. I can't reach the notification bar, and the bixby button needs to be remapped/removed.

Also my voice/speaker quality during phone calls sounds like I and the caller are in a tunnel. Friends keep on telling my my sound quality is awful. Guessing that's a defect? This even happens on bluetooth, call quality is junk on the phone I got.

I came from a rooted S5, may return the S8 for an S7. Does anyone know if HTC, Moto, or LG have something releasing around the corner?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The Root:
HTC has some thing they're trying to promote the Hell out of and they're apparently doing their same crap job if you haven't seen it. You got a Galaxy S8 and it had everything they spoke of. They showed you pictures. Did you want IT or did you want something new? You give up stuff and you gain stuff with the Galaxy S series. After 8 iterations why would it be suddenly different? Try Galaxy S phones before you but them or if you want the promo stuff live with the bargain.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bluheart:
S8 is simply stunning and amazing looking sexy device. I just wish a fabulous firmware updates to keep s8 smoothie and lag free. No other complaints.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DFA1:
Well, I am trying it. I'm still within the return policy. I just feel if you can't use it with one hand, it's too big.

I don't see much difference between the s7 and 8 other than the 8 being 10% faster and the 7 have the common 16x9 adjust ratio. I think I'll give the 7 a try. The whole curved tall screen just isn't my thing and I don't see the benefits of curved screens.

Omega Rom

Hello everyone,

I created and Omega Rom for S8 and before I release it I would like someone to beta test it for S8-G9550F

Its already tested for S8+ G955F and it runs great.

If you can help, please sent me a pm.

Thank you all in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AdrianE46:
With regards to the black bars in apps, you can press the multitasking button and a little green circle appears on the "current app". Press it and the app fills the screen without cutting anything out (except for games).

I have all my apps set up this way and they look /work great.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Amazing news my friend ! Welcome Indie to the S8 forums :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
So guys who tested Indie's ROM ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] quera:
Samsung Camera is showing every picture I have in my device inside the thumbnail in the bottom. When I open it I can view every image like Whatsapp's, screenshots, etc.

I want to make Camera app to show only pictures I've took with the app. I know I can add ".nomedia" file to the folders I don't want to be shown, however I DO want them to be shown, but inside Gallery, not Camera.

So I'm on hold with TMO to pre-order a Artic Silver S8+. The CS rep told me she will call me back in 15 mins and i mentioned that 1201am is in 3 mins, can I wait a few mins and she put me on hold. Hopefully, this goes through. I did JoD and the final cost is $226.13
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] busab:
How is the final cost that high with JoD? Are you purposely putting down extra?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gharris040604:
I just paid 130 with jod, the 1st rep I spoke to attempted to charge me 220. I told her that something was wrong and then we lost connection.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
I wanted the silver but in the UK all we currently have on offer is black and grey. I've ordered Orchid Grey - hoping its proper grey and not pinky grey as per a couple of dark pics I've seen so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Rado_vr6:
Just preordered a Midnight Plus. Want to see how it compares to my Korean G6.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
O2 (UK) have these demos instore as do 3, and CPW from later today. Had a little play and its still laggy! The orchid grey is like a reflective metal - very nice looking and a bluey grey with a hint of purple.

Swipe up to access apps a bit odd. Its looooong! Love it. Compared next to my Mate 9 Porsche Design theres loads of extra screen estate. Width is similar but very narrow bezels.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] spinkick:
I wonder how samsung pay will work if swipe up for apps is also on there.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
I had to pay 130 as down payment, 20 (stupid upgrade fee) and 70ish is taxes. I down mind down payment

Ordered my Midnight black S8+ When the pre-order went live on AT&T. Estimated ship date? April 19th. Now I wait....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bkeaver:
I ordered mine today and it was 139 including taxes and they did not charge me a stupid 20 dollar upgrade fee. I also ordered one for my wife, regular S8, no upgrade fee there either and both are JOD.

I'd be calling back in if I were you. You got taken. And I did mine and my wife's on 2 seperate calls with 2 different people just so you know.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
I checked my TMO account again a little after I made my post and I saw a $25 credit on my account. Guess, I can't call it a stupid upgrade fee anymore. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ewokuk:
I am trying to decide between the grey and black. I had decided on the blakc purely because the grey one in the pictures looked kinda pinky and a bit girly but I might have to get down to a CPW or O2 shop tomorrow and have a look in person.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kil4Thril:
I went with orchid gray. Mine was 137 on JoD. And I'm going to get the SD and headphones once that goes live. Screw it. Lol. Then I'll jump to the note most likely
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
I wondered the same (from the photos) as to whether it was a bit more aimed at the ladies, but its more bluey grey with a hint of lilac. Its really nice. I'm sold.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Why buying the Note 8 again if you're already having the S8+ ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] luch4galaxy:
how did you get the android boot animation with your comment. looks pretty cool. sorry im new here
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kil4Thril:
Well, IF it's bigger.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CadillacMike:
how did you do JoD? via phone or on Twitter? I got hit with an extra $20
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RMXO:
I called in to get JoD and later logged into my account to find a $25 credit that covered the $20 upgraded few.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kil4Thril:
I went through Twitter.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Oawi:
pre-ordered the s8+ Arctic Silver with Sprint. Only have a 30$ upgrade fee since I did it at my local store. Sprint is doing a shorter lease this time. On my s7edge it was 24 mo lease & swap after 12 to newest galaxy. For the s8/8+ they are doing after 12 months - swap to newest galaxy, 18 months - swap to any phone, 24 months - own the phone. Only other option was buy outright up front.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] standard101:
reading the last page of this thread, PSA: the gray is not straight gray. it has a light purplish tone. the guy at the store called it "violet" and had to clarify is gender neutral. take that fwiw. i noticed the color right away, but not from all angles and would be different under better light i'd imagine.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CadillacMike:
definitely looks purple-ish to me
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Trina9:
It is purple but it's not a overwhelming purple color. My husband said he wouldn't get it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Personally i like it even tho i'm a guy, looks really slick and classy
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GreeleyXda:
its very nice looking, would be my back up color if i wasnt a huge fan of the black s8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] carvation:
went to bb to check out all the colors, was originally going to see the black s8+ because if i didnt like it was going to get the silver like my s7e , as soon as i got there the grey just caught my eye, still looked at the other colors , decided on the silver since the black to me was nice but was really tired of black phones, but that grey kept calling me back, then all the reps came out and was talking about alot of people preordered that one after they saw it, checked it out again , then the others but the grey kept calling me , went home and preordered the grey s8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Fuyuanhuihaoxiao:
I really love S8+ , but somehow the s8 seems can be hold better!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
I have a Silver S8+ pre-ordered. Ships on the 17th. I was trying my best to avoid Samsung after having to return my Note 7 TWICE, then having Samsung Canada call and hound me saying I never returned it.

I have a Pixel XL now. It's great and fast (other than the giant chin), but stock Android is boring. I actually miss some of the Samsung features.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] johnwayne27:
Where from. Samsung direct?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
Koodo. Oddly, the website says "silver", but the pic is Orchid Grey. Also, everything I have seen online says that the Canadian Carriers are all carrying Black and Orchid Grey, so I honestly don't know what color will show up. I THINK the silver on the Koodo site is a typo, and it's supposed to say Orchid Grey.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FluxionFluff:
I actually pre-ordered the S8 originally, but I ended up cancelling it and switching my pre-order to the S8+. I was already uncertain of which one I wanted since I liked them both and despite having small hands, I didn't find the larger model to be unwieldy.

Does help that the way I tend to hold phones, my finger automatically goes to the spot where Samsung placed the fingerprint scanner, so unlike a lot of people who complained about the placement... I have no issue with it, haha. ^^;

Actually ended up coming back to Best Buy a few times, to compare them, and honestly, the more time I spent with them, the more I leaned towards the S8+, despite my concerns about cases making it a lil bulky, even with thinner cases. Just gonna deal with it and I'm super excited to have this phone in-hand. My S6 needs to be retired, lawl... XD
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] physicsguymatt:
I did the exact same thing yesterday. Went into Best Buy to switch my preorder, turned out to be more of a rigmarole than I expected. If they canceled my order in store, the upgrade from Verizon wouldn't be immediately freed up, so I had to call BB customer service from right there in the store, it took about 30 minutes for them to cancel the order and contact Verizon to free up the upgrade. Then the preorder took about 3 minutes, but now I have to go into the store for pickup rather than have it shipped home. Not a big deal though, fortunately, I get out of work early on the 21st so I can head over there on my way home, provided it's ready at the store. Trading in my S7E and I'm also on unlimited so I really can't beat approx. $15/mo for this beauty.

I just hope those who get it shipped to their homes before release day (as rumored) don't grab up all the free VR offers before I'm able to get my IMEI sent to Samsung promotions
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] raptoro07:
I hope we do haha. Which is why I opted for that instead of picking it up. ?
