just flash batman rom, its very stable (havent had a single issue) peforms better than stock, has patches to fix that that can be fixed that are broken during root, contains magisk, android pay works and obviously knox is broken and so is warrenty (according to samsung but Australia law has proven otherwise)

Also, I recommend after you set it up, flash Notorius kernel.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

Before doing anything else, upon successful first boot into TWRP, backup you EFS partition! Keep your stock EFS partition backup in a safe place, like email it to yourself.

most done do this and its extraordinarily stupid thing not to do... also do another backup of all partitions as well and keep that as a stock backup and store ina safe place too.

Nice to see an Aussie thread for the S8, I have the S8+ from Woolworth, network and bootloader unlocked,

and I was able to uninstall (not disable) system apps from Google and Samsung, like Google Play Music or Books, and some Sammy stuff I don't need/use

I'm not sure yet if I will root my device, I was a heavy flasher whit my other devices, (maybe that's why my Note Edge doesn't work anymore)

so far I'm pretty happy whit my phone, works well, looks stylish, so no need for root atm...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
Good luck getting Telstra to honour a warranty claim if Knox is tripped. (If your phone is a Telstra one). Australian Consumer Law is very good, but it won't help us there. It's the only reason I haven't rooted my S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
Funnily enough I've just finished reading that very thread 2 minutes ago :laugh:

His fault had nothing to do with rooting, luckily. Faulty screen. And look at the effort he had to go through.

If the fault has been somethign else, with the motherboard for example, FAR less chance of success of a result. Near impossible in fact.

And that was through Samsung, not Telstra. Telstra use 3rd party repair contractor.

And also look near the end. Samsung refuse to even repair something that's rooted, let alone provide warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cantenna:
ya, its a good read!

you only need warrenty for hardware faults that have nothing to do with root anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] numloxx1978:
Ok, installed Batman ROM last night, had to wipe data, but did a backup before hand. Very happy with it so far. Glad that I have root access for ad blocking again and titanium backup, but can still use Android Pay :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
Yea, I just finished flashing TWRP and Batman ROM myself!

I'm leasing my s8+ from Telstra should I take the risk and root?

I so badly want to but I eventually need to give the phone back once the s9 comes out
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] numloxx1978:
my warranty is still ok according to Knox Status.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
Hmmm.....bit of a risk...the lease thing is new, not sure how they'd handle a Knox tripped device being returned. They could end up making you pay for it.

Nah, that's not a true read. I think the ROM hides the Knox trip status so that things like Samsung Health work.

Trust me, your Knox is tripped and your warranty is well and truly void.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] numloxx1978:
Ah you're right...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] numloxx1978:
NOOOOOO

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hingerl:
what root method did you use... super su or magisk...

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

BUMMER... dit you had a protectiv case on it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
Magisk has to be the way to go. It's what I used anyway. I've been out of the root game for a year or two (thanks Samsung :rolleyes:). So Magisk etc is all new to me.

The ability to hide root from apps of your choosing is just fantastic. it's worked for all my banking apps. Before I hid root, I tried them, and they worked, but one of them wouldn't let me set a shortcut PIN login, I had to use full login and password each time.

As soon as I hid root, I could set a 4 digit PIN to login, which is far easier and quicker.

It can be toggled on the fly too, no reboot required.

Android Pay works with it. Not sure if it works with SuperSU?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] numloxx1978:
Yes,I used Magisk, it came with Batman ROM, so decided to use that instead of SuperSU.

I had the Samsung led flip case on. I'm going to go back to a back case and maybe screen protector on the new one when Telstra sends it to me.

Switching to Australian Stock ROM from Indian ROM

Hi

I have an Indian S8+ and running Indian stock ROM. I moved to Australia a few months ago, and while most things work fine - there are differences. Most importantly, I can't add Oz cards to Samsung Pay (it seems to accept only Indian cards).

Questions:

1. Is there an Australian stock ROM I can install? I believe both country versions are on Exynos.

2. Has anyone tried anything similar?

3. Does the Australian version support dual SIM?

Anything I should watch out for?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cerico76:
Have a look on SAMMOBILE for the stock firmwares. If the model is the same, I think you can flash it with Odin without any problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Barracuda77777:
I flashed the OZ stock rom before I even started using my imported dual sim card phone which origin was Taiwan, I can confirm that I am able to use Samsung pay with my Westpac credit card, although my Westpac did not work with Westpac own Tap and Pay app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
Flash the XSA firmware. This is the unbranded Aussie ROM. has Aussie Samsung Pay and will support dual SIM.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bulovski:
Updated the ROM and things seem to be working fine. Bixby works like a charm.

But Samsung Pay keeps going into an update loop. I need to investigate a bit more here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] samorgs:
Flashed BatMan ROM, set it up, rebooted into TWRP & flashed Notorious Kernel but it will not boot after flashing Notorious Kernel. Gets stuck on the Galaxy S8+ screen. Got back into TWRP & dirty flashed BatMan again and it will now boot. Downloaded Notorious again just in case it was a corrupt download and tried again, same thing happened so had to reflash BatMan ROM again to get it to boot.

No idea what's up, even tried flashing straight after BatMan ROM before booting to setup and still had it stick on the same screen

Other than this kernel problem BatMan ROM ticks all the boxes for me.

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ocujos:
Yes.

It's a pity that you Samsung has not released a new Oreo ROM for unbranded, XSA S8+ version. Damn you Samsung for being sooooo slow!

I'd love to hear what their excuse: they can't use carrier testing as a valid excuse since telco don't need to approve the new firmware for their network.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Barracuda77777:
one year on, Android P is almost out and Samsung is just rolling Oreo to their flagship devices, Glad I dropped my S8+ and cracked the screen couple days ago, I bought MI 6 128 gig for the same cost to repair it as it was a duo import, the bluetooth was horrible in my Mazda 3 and my 3 Bluetooth headphones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ocujos:
I guess not all Mazda cars are made the same: sound on my Mazda CX-9 is crystal-clear and Bluetooth works perfectly fine. Have you updated MZD Connect? (Mazda proprietary entertainment system). This is a part of Mazda service and is free of charge.

Sound quality on my Sony 1000xm2 with APT-X codec is also very good. Oreo now supports AAC and Sony LDAC codec so sound quality should be even better.

Check battery usage in settings. There might be a rogue app draining the battery. Try switching to 3G only to see if battery life improves.

Yes, this time 6 months later, the phone prompted a change battery settings for new locale. One Interesting change that I immediately note is, when in China, Youtube kids app is automatically shut off now.

At anyrate, the phone behaved normally this last trip with no overheating issues. I also put to sleep several chinese apps while visiting oz too.

Hi,

under setting - system-displaylight-Battery

(not quite sure whether this is 100% correct because I am using the german version Einstellung-System-Beleuchtung-Akkubetrieb).

It is possible to set for the background light of the display the delay timer until the light dims down to safe battery.

The standard is 10s, I would like to use 30s.

So far so good, I am able to do the setting to 30s, but after a soft reset or after switching off/on the Kaiser there is again the default setting of 10s.

Do I miss any other preset of this battery safing function?

Any possiilities in Kaiser tweak or Registery setting?

So far I have not installed any other "System tool" for controlling Profiles or anything like that (I have the bluetooth patch, the new camera and album, tomtom, mobipocket, but those applications should not interfear with this system setting)

Best regards,

Claus

PS: I am using the Kaiser since a couple of days - great device - but this is my very 1st WM device, I was using the last years UIQ2 and UIQ3 devices from SE, therefore please forgive any newbie questions
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gabriel31337:
no big news

Congrats! you have hit the same problem as many of us... I don't quite get this to work properly and didn't find any hint yet, so i went different way - disabled backlight and enabled screen turning off in settings -> system -> power (where you can see the battery bar with percentage)

Hope this helps at least a bit.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dingolino:
I solved it now with Phone Weaver a Profil manager.

I am able to set this parameter and now the easy thing is that after a restart of the phone I just enable my prefered Profil and with the Profil I have also my setting for the background light.

Anyone know what the problem is where Android 6.x and now 7.x where apps do not work for connecting over temporary (non-internet connected) wifi networks to set up a device? For example I can't set up a Google Home or a Vizio smart TV, a Ring Wi-Fi doorbell or connect to a Wi-Fi action camera on my 7.1.2 device, basically anything where a device sets up a temporary network does not work, but if I dig out an old tablet running kitkat or something it work work fine to complete the setup. Since Android 6.x in my experience it will connect to the device's Wi-Fi but fails anyway as if no data is being transferred or something. It seems to be a common problem and it is something I've been dealing with for a good 18 months. Anyone know what the issue is and maybe a workaround for it?

Hello.

I have a German unbranded device.

Since I did not want to wait for Samsung I installed the update myself by getting the already released version they seed in Italy since a few days.

Almost the same. Lte and German Sim card working, everything like if is supposed to. I think installing the Italian update is not a problem.

Works like a charm. Much faster then before. Some screens are following. I can recommend it to everyone that doesn't want to longer. St least for me there's is no problem.

I also tried using Odin 3.11 which also fails. Both ran as Administrator.

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] karatekid430:
Any ETA on Android 7.0 for the real SM-T715Y? Does anybody know anything?

I got the SM-T710 XSA Nougat update some time ago now. But I bought the 4G version off Gumtree and it is still stuck with 6.0.1 which means the lowlife carriers are probably halting the updates.

It is disgusting. With carrierless Samsung Galaxy smartphones, Samsung waits for the carriers in XSA region to start to release their crapware, before they release the official Samsung firmware. I do not know if this occurs in other regions.

FYI, the SM-T715Y is the real Tab S2. The SM-T715 has very few firmware regions and was probably made for dodgy countries with outdated cell towers. Look them up on sammobile.com/firmwares
