[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
I have recently upgraded from the s6 to my lovely s8+. Imo the s6 lacked 4 things really, a removable back, an microsd slot, ip68 rating and finally a bigger battery, I wasn't too bothered about the removable back or the waterproof but if the s6 had a bigger battery and a card slot it would have sold a lot more.

Lol i do miss the it blaster though
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MSK1:
Add the fact that the note edge was the last phone with a proper edge screen as well. ...

Edge screen

Battery replacement

IR blaster

These three things need to be fixed for next round. ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cvolkernick:
But the question is *why*? What purpose does removing the jack have other than to force you to inevitably cough up more $ for other equipment / replacements. Apple is basically doing to smartphones what the gaming industry did with DLC - chopping it up into pieces and making you purchase them separately instead of paying one price and getting everything. They're milking their customers.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JeffATL:
I agree in most cases. Samsung did change to USB-C because that was an improvement. And they did add an adapter in the box. For the $800 retail price tag they should.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bvannier:
Dear all,

at least I found an adapter IR fully working with my S8+

It's under the question "Working IR blaster for S8+"

Kindly yours from an old man
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pierremaximiliano:
The IR blaster is dead along with CD's and VHS tapes. Line of sight device control is so 80's. Nothing I've purchase in the past two years relies on IR. Most are Wi-Fi or BT controllable with only one supporting RF (IR's beefier cousin) in addition to Wi-Fi. Hell, I have 40+ lightbulbs that are all Wi-Fi controllable. Time to let IR go. Each phone generation there are hues and cries about the loss of IR and FM radios. I'm surprised a thread on the latter hasn't appeared yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] loudawg11:
I do agree with you but I would sure hate to throw away perfectly good working items. Some of my plasma and LCD panel Samsung TVs still amazed people when they see the picture quality. It's one of the reasons I have never upgraded to newer phones and still use the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with custom roms to maintain compatibility with older technology. Works perfect for me because my kids are always miss placing the remotes. But someday I know I will be forced to do an upgrade to current technology. But this Note 3 has just been Rock Solid running pure Android as my daily driver. I do think a removable battery is a must for the Samsung phones being that there are reports some of the S8 and Note 8 will not recharge if the battery completely dies on you before you get it to a charging dock. For me I just swapped the battery and keep on going.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JeffATL:
Well it looks like Huawei is keeping the IR Blaster alive with the Mate 10. I wonder if the S9 will have it. though doubt it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] felicioanderson:
With everything getting connected to WiFi I don't think irblasters will come back to Samsung phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mulderfbi:
OK, they removed a usable feature like IR blaster, but why there is a some kind of IR rays that are messing with my remotes? Don`t know if noticed, but try and point your S8 towards your set top box, or TV`s IR receiver and then try to change something with its remote.... sometimes even if its not pointed directly to the TV blocks the control of the remote control! What kind of sensor is that, and why is it always ON ? How can i turn it OFF I am sure it drains some battery since its emitting IR rays... Is there a feature that relies on it so it should be always ON and emitting.....?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JeffATL:
At the last poster, maybe you are connected to your tv via bluetooth or something

Any updates on whether S9 has ir blaster or not?
[Mate 8 General] guy6136206:
Hey all, since I bought this phone the wifi strength is very weak comparing to every phone that I have checked, and idea why? I can't find any good answer on Google.
[LG Optimus L90] iKokomo:
Whenever I start up my LG Optimus D415 it shows the LG logo, then goes to the Tmobile screen and freezes there. It stays there forever until I pull out the battery or it dies.

I can't seem to find a way around this. Is there a fix? If not, does anyone have the stock OS that I can flash onto this device?

I did the Turn off your device. Hold Power button + volume down reset and while it said it resetted, it still freezes at the one screen, LG logo.

I believe the only way to fix this is to have either the stock Rom or a modified one that will run.

Does anyone have this?

Thanks!!

I am new at this so I may need some help doing this :)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] goofeyass:
True, you should have asked to use his rom, but NOTHIN think about it. Didn't you do the same thing by taking someones (MICROSOFT'S) rom from another type phone and remaking it to suit your needs for the wizard. I'm not looking to piss anyone off so please don't. I respect your work along with the other cooks, because I don't have the knowledge or time to cook my own. So please don't be offended, you should feel proud that he thought your rom was the best place for him to start, and he did give you a thank you and credit for your rom.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] bazurbat:
Hi!

Good rom in general but I've found several issues:

1. wm5torage not works for me. Gives "error 1f" everytime. I've disabled all today plugins, removed everything in starup folder, soft reset, tried to disable "advanced usb" functions. No change.

2. No way to change settings for task manager (making x button close apps instead of suspending). This was in settings/system somewhere in every other rom I've seen. Should be standard windows feature, no? Workaround is to install some third-party task manager.

3. No shortcut for for notes application in programs. Is this intentional?

Only major issue is wm5torage. Please someone who also tried this ROM, tell if it works fine.

P.S. I've downgraded to official T-Mobile 2.26 (my device is T-Mobile MDA) before upgrading to this one, then upgraded to IPS/SPL 3.08, then flashed MFR2.0.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] th_undead:
Hello :)

1. Yes, i can see that wm5storage gives errors. i will post a fix tomorrow. sorry for that :(

2. I removed notes form the program folder because i find it unuseful. The program is installed in the rom and you can activate it by holding the record button for a few secs.

3. That is because i didn't preinstall any task managers into the rom. I;ve included WkTask manager, a great x button / task manager program in Programs\System\Install so you can install this optionally.

Hope that helped :) I am working on porting a rom for the wizard and i will probably release it in a week or so :). Good night to you all
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] bazurbat:
OK, this is fine, but I've found another thing: can't send SMS messages. When I hit send, I just returned to the previous screen, message stays in outbox folder and nothing else happens. Tried with standard messaging app and with HushSMS.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] :
camera driver

in your first release there was a cab for removing cam driver. It was good way to get more memory could you add it again? And for some reason (may be it's the build being 318) the softbutton menus feel really slow, the apps work as usual performance but wm6 ui is a bit sluggish compared to the newer builds. Just my feelings nothing definite...

I also suggest remove tcpmp because I install flashvideobundle and have to install it with cab ending with two tcpmps... and there are 2 popular versions people use...

Very good collection of useful things!!! great rom. Best assets from best roms brought together congrats!!

First of all, thanks for the ROM, quite fast and lot of memory.

I have two issues:

a) Advanced config crashes while starting up (probably, because it is V1.0, recent release is v1.1)

b) How to configure BatteryLevel (the colour bar on top of the screen)? Since it is not BatteryGauge (which does the same) I could neither find a description on how to change the colours nor registry strings to do that (like BatteryGauge).

sweet... i stopped running the 1622 base that i stripped and posted; im eager to see what you did in this one :)

any idea what causes the issue? im guessing its not a registry issue, so phone dlls maybe? i started from scratch on ingenetics again and im really liking how its going :) probably just for my own use, but i was getting bored...

also, the reason i stopped using my stripped 1622 is that it seemed to have that issue of the UI getting really slow after a few days (even after resets) that is just a PIA. i didnt run the stock 1622 long enough to know if it was happening with that one, but i did not just slice and dice like crazy, i was very careful to only remove safe entries and did my typical method of loading all the RGUs in pspad and searching for each file and all references (CLSID etc) before removing anything. then i rebuilt the DSMs to match. i still can't figure it out, but hopefully you're not having that problem :)

I just downloaded and flashed this onto my Wizard. It seems quite stable and extremely fast so far (I'm loving Opera)

However, I am unable to figure out how to have a Today display that is similar to the screen shots. I love the large clock/large buttons on the screen shots you posted (those are the HTC Touch today buttons, yes? I'm really new to all of this). Mine shows the basic, WM6 style today screen with a large digital-ish clock.

Is there any way I can easily modify this to have the larger, HTC Touch style today screen?
