[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MSK1:
I am thinking of tracking down another Note Edge.... I feel like I am losing a number of useful features by buying an S8+ as a replacement for my old Note Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] The Phone Company:
Yup, existing Note 4 user here, still going strong. Was a pre-ordered Note 7 customer and now look where we are today...

The live 'unboxing' presentation just made me nauseous. "Partnered with Google" "Working alongside Microsoft"

I see where this is going. I am done. Back to Nature.

Actual Reality > Virtual Reality all. day. long.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Filiprino:
I voted the ones more important. But I'll tell you the ones that I absolutely do not find interesting: Bixby and Samsung Connect.

I have my own DDNS service running, so I do not need any cloud service from Samsung to get the status of my home smart devices. Bixby is replicating Google Assistant functionality, so it's more bloat added to the system and more companies with my life's metadata and data. As it wasn't hard enough to block such information leaks.

Dex, IP68, accessores, IRIS scanner and face recognition are cool.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] galaxys:
All of the above items, but the S8+ 6.2 Screen is number one! :cool:

I am looking forward to Bluetooth 5.0 and better security logon. I hate the fingerprint reader. Whenever I golf, it can't read my fingerprint for a few days. Especially when I re-grip my clubs!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Highspeed123:
It's actually the complete opposite of Google Assistant. It's embedded deep into the core functionality of the phone. Assistant is mainly for providing you information, with a few basic control features on top while Bixby allows much control over the device hardware and software via voice commands. It's a new feature that will need time to develop, Samsung wants to give you the option to do everything on your phone without having to touch it. One day you might not have to.

It's not for everyone though, you won't have to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Filiprino:
I don't see how it can be completely the opposite. It has more control over your device to provide information.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dallasmanic:
the curve screen and the new specks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] paranoid2007:
Does the world really need another assistant? Fragmentation is already bad enough on Android. So expecting from app developers to implement voice commands for other assistants besides Googles own doesn't seem like a smart move.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Super-Veloce:
not much improvement over the S7/S7Edge.. high price for a little bit extra. Fingerprint on the back, really?

Going for the HTC U (Ocean, SD835) or wait for Note 8
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Highspeed123:
I do see your point and you are right about the fragmentation. That's the problem with open source. Companies want to go their own separate ways with it. AI is the next logical step in technology though. In the far future I don't imagine people still tapping away on screens, we will have Robotics and very advanced AI systems providing us with all the information we need.

Googles Assistant is a great bit of software and I use it a fair bit. It just can't integrate deep enough with every device, because of the fragmentation you mention. If we only had Google devices it would become a lot more useful.

I won't have that much need for Bixby but Samsung saw the need in the Mass market, or else they would not have bothered. There will be many that do actually want it. Especially disabled people and for use while driving. Samsung can hook it deep into the core functionality and allow control over every aspect of the device...one day.

Apple can do what they want as they have full control over their software and hardware. Samsung are trying to do the same thing. As they are one of the only Android phone makers that actually make a profit, they might make a success of it. Who knows.

I think we will see some rival OS in the future, they come and go. I can't see Android and iOS lasting forever. Samsung will go their own way one day.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

Maybe I exaggerated some what lol. What I meant is that Bixby is Samsung's attempt at allowing hands free control over their phones. It's the start, so I expect it to get better with time and allow for almost total control. It won't just be for information. You will be able to control the camera, edit photos via voice commands, turn things on and off and do most of the things you have to touch the screen for. Handy if you're disabled or unable to hold your phone at the time.

I doubt I'll be using it much but it's still nice to gain new features. There will always be those that do have a use for it. Hopefully those that don't, will have the option to disregard it entirely.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] noggind614:
Screen and camera are my main reasons. Plus after about 9 years with HTC phones, since the fuze, it's time for a change. And 64gb internal is a nice bonus.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] aboveusonlysky:
i need an option that says "because i hate my s7e"
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] manners400:
It is definitely not the complete opposite of the Google Assistant but rather Samsung's version of Google Assistant for Samsung product. I understand they put it there because Samsung has always been about offering their own everything plus it will bridge the gap of things that the google assistant can't do on a Samsung phone (that the Pixel will be able to do with Google Assistant)... However I can definitely see this leading to fragmentation on consumers end. I would have done without the button but that might be a strategy to bring awareness & get more people using bixby that would normally ignore it (as S-voice was ignored). I'm sure bixby is a refreshed, repolished S-voice with some deeper roots.

A thin phone makes reading documents in portrait annoying....

Using google maps in landscape will be annoying as you will have a proportionately smaller area dedicated to see where you are going.....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
And a wide phone is annoying to hold and use with one hand, there are pros/cons to everything, i weighed them and made my choice.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] alexsoin:
Considering buying Sprint's S8

It seems like navigation buttons can be only rearranged i.e. from Recent - HOME - Back to Back - HOME - Recent, NOT changed or other buttons added. Can someone confirm? We won't see root on locked bootloader device (like Sprint's S8) for a year maybe even more... I want to have options like LG provides on their flagship devices, see attached. S8 is a very tall phone and notification pulldown supposed to be one of the buttons as well as old but good menu button!

P.S. Most compelling reasons to order aren't even in a poll: design, very high screen to front ration plus promotional deals (for pre-orders)!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kevinjessy:
I wont buy it cuz i dont need it. Bought my s7e 6 months ago and i have every single s8 app installed on it usimg echoerom.. Simply the best rom out there for the s7e. Used everything until i came accros echoe. I have like 2 days off battery on my s7e and altough the s8 looks beautifull imma wait for the n8bsimply because the developer of echoe rom will also wait for the n8 lol

I use a flip case.... And this makes holding a wide phone with one hand really really easy. (Plus when you have an independent Edge like the Note Edge 90% of what you need to touch the screen for can be done from the Edge which is perfectly positioned for the thumb when holding using a flip case)

But everybody applies a different value to each feature....[emoji1]

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tsukihi:
Honestly loved everything except for the Bixby button and the fingerprint scanner placement.

Now that I've seen that you can remap it (with a 3rd party app) you essentially have a physical button that can be remapped to do almost anything, which is huge imo.

Fingerprint scanner will take some time to get used to, but from feeling it out at the Samsung store in my city (plus, one of the employees had an untethered device I could try out) I think it's been blown out of proportion. That's just me, though. I have slightly larger hands, not S8+ large though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Agree, remapping the button is positive and fingerprint should be fine!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] snowblind2142:
I just wish the promotion in the UK was with vr headset and not the Bluetooth speaker.

Got my black S8+ booked for delivery on the 20th April, can't wait :)

For me it's the astetics of this one. Can't wait to theme it. Can anyone confirm if the navigation buttons are Samsung theme skinnable?

Note 4 was beginning to feel old.
[Shield Q&A] ManiacDC:
I see there are several custom marshmallow ROMs for the Nvidia Shield Portable. I'm thinking of upgrading as I'm sick of always having to move my apps around and not being able to update them. Adoptable storage solves that issue.

The ones I've found are:

CM: https://xdaforums.com/nvidia-shield/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-shield-portable-t3042192

LineageOS: https://xdaforums.com/nvidia-shield/development/rom-lineageos-shield-portable-t3562831

RR: https://xdaforums.com/nvidia-shield/development/resurrection-remix-t3465740

Which of these is the most stable and supported? It appears CM or LineageOS.

Are any shield features supported on these? Such as (in order of importance):

Console mode

Controller

Gamestreaming (using official app, not moonlight)

Gamepad mapper

Thanks!
[Shield Q&A] 50up3r9uy:
I'm running CM13 for the same reason, adoptable storage. Controller works but most shield specific stuff does not and other apps are needed. Let me know which one you end up on. Haven't booted mine for a while and thinking of wiping it again.
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
LineageOS is the continuation of CyanogenMod, I wouldn't use the cm builds anymore. And wow, somehow I missed RR getting released, need to go take a look at it sometime.

As for feature support (should apply to all custom ROMs, but I can't be 100% sure about RR):

Console mode: Yes, works fine.

Controller: Built-in works, wireless does not. Been working on the wireless support for years. I can make them pair and work, but there's no user friendly way to do so yet. See the end of the shield apps thread in the tablet section for more info.

Game stream official: No, does not work. As far as I can tell, support for the tegra 4 was completely removed from the M version of the shield hub streaming. As such, I cannot fix it. Moonlight does work, I am told. Don't use streaming myself as I don't have windows.

Gamepad mapper: This is virtually impossible to port from stock. Tincore is the alternative, but is a pain to set up.
[Shield Q&A] ManiacDC:
Thanks for the informative response! Sounds like LineageOS is the way to go. If I decide I'm going to keep my portable I'll probably flash LineageOS (I'm debating selling it as I bought a GPD Win, but it's found a use as an Android TV system for my wife... so I'm debating keeping it or selling it and buying a cheap chinese system).
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
I've posted an atv build or two in my cm thread. Working on making atv work better in lineage right now. Been having troubles the last couple weeks, but have a couple more devs looking at the problems now. Once those settle down, I'll run another build for roth. It worked really well for the short time I had it installed. Might even end up my normal install once the kinks get worked out. But if you're interested in atv, I am working on it. If you want a really nice dedicated atv system, the shield android tv is amazing. For kodi, retroarch, etc, etc. A bit pricy, but totally worth it for the features.
[Shield Q&A] ManiacDC:
Thanks, I'll look into it, but it's just a kitchen TV machine. All she really uses it for is CrunchyRoll and YouTube (hence why a cheap chinese system would be perfect).
[Shield Q&A] ManiacDC:
Thank you for doing all this work! As you saw based on the other threads, I am using LineageOS now. I haven't fully tested everything yet, but so far things are mostly working well.

Hello,

I am trying to use an app (MyBackup Pro) which indicates that 'busybox' is not installed or out of date. When I go to install from the Play Store, it attempts to install Busybox 1.26.2 into /system/xbin.

However, when I select 'Install', it indicates the installation of Busybox was not successful. Then it indicates to try installing to a different location to resolve the issue.

Does anyone know what is causing this error?

FYI - My phone (Nexus 6) is currently rooted using Magisk.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I figured out how to resolve - in the Magisk Manager, there is an option to 'bind mount busybox to xbin' that when selected, fixes the problem.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] Jadel:
As you are asking in the Himalaya section, I assume your question is in relation to there being an official WM6 rom for this device.

The answer is no. There is not even an official WM5 rom for the Himalaya.

My understanding is that WM2003 and 2003SE were the last official roms.

Microsoft makes its money by combining with manufactures to sell a device complete with an OS. That way, when people want a new OS, the only official route is generally to purchase a new device, thereby keeping both Microsoft and manufacturers happy.

Microsoft, I believe, allows updating within a certain ROM (as of WM5), but not an upgrade to a certain ROM.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] Jadel:
Yes I believe you are correct about it only being officially released in Chinese, though I vaguely remember something about it being on an official site in Ireland, or possibly on the XDAII fan site (but taken from the official site). If I get a chance I will investigate.

Edit1: Here is the link to the one mentioned above by Rudegar.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=230279

And here is the other links I was mentioning (about the Rom for Irish users and users in the UK) however it was only an update to 2003, not the 2003SE Rom. Having said that, it is probably the last official update (though may not work the same on all roms if it was only made for those two areas). Also note that this is software, v1.72.181, and there was a v1.72.187, though I am out of my league discussing it (I know nothing about it, nor where to find it officially).

http://www.o2blackberry.net/xda2_soft.html

Edit2: FURTHER note, the extra software mentioned on the software page on the above link includes a program built to run on WM2003SE as it states, which to me suggests that they made an official rom for 2003SE or at least they were aware other people made one and were more than happy for it to exist.
