Hi,

I just bought a galaxy s8+ and the only thing that annoys me is the Google weather card. It's still like the old interface...

I tried everything like deleting the cache and other data of the Google app. Even deleted updates and so on. Can anyone help me with this? On my Google pixel XL I had the weather frog and now it's just like before the frog...

Thanks in advance...

I know thats a snapdragon model and all the north american snapdragons have locked bootloaders so no root possible.

Yours isnt North American so Is your bootloader locked on that version?

Alright, so super weird issue. I can't find anything similar online. So the other day, I was watching a YouTube video and for no reason the colours on the screen got all washed out. I downloaded several screen testing apps, and it appears there's an issue with the black pixels. The pixels that are supposed to be showing the colour black all turnout as a really dark green. I've tried to reset, reboot, clear cache, reinstall firmware and nothing seems to fix it. Anyone have any similar issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] force70:
You didnt look very hard if at all as all this is easy to find out via the search button

Yes verizon is locked just like every other verizon device and every other snapdragon s8

Yes people are working on trying to at least get root and there is a huge thread here on it. Full unlock is highly unlikely and they will be lucky to even get root.

No unlocked version for verizon, only the exynos BL is unlocked but it wont work on verizon.

I'm a complete noob at this stuff and I have many questions starting w/ this: I'm moving to China and thinking about buying my 1st ever smartphone* b/c they say you can't live w/o one there! Looking at the International version of S8+ (G995F or G995FD). Does anyone know if this thing will work on the Chinese networks (e.g. Unicom or Telecom).

I have a Samsung Galaxy s8 plus and recently I have noticed that my signal strength is jumping around during calls and when using mobile data . Tried hard reset the phone , changed the software from the service center and tried other SIM cards and still I am facing the same issue. Tried the same sim on other phones and no issues was seen . Running the latest software update June security patch which is the latest . Is anyone else facing this issue ? I am out of Samsung 14day replacement period so the only option that I am left with is repair which I am very very dissatisfied about .

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

Just now I had a talk with customer care senior executive member about this issue and he said that there is no other way to replace the phone other than to repair it . I am really concerned with the water resistant seal . Really poor service from Samsung , apple cutomer care and repair service is much better .
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Are you dropping phone calls? If not don't worry about it.

Also make sure you are using the correct apn. Depend on your location you may want go turn ipv6 off. Also if you are using an unlocked firmware version of the device it may not properly support voice over lte on the carrier you use.

In order to truly figure out your issue you need to supply way more detail. I highly doubt it's a hardware issue.

Benchmarking

Coming from an iPhone where things were always quick. I ran the Antututu benchmarks and they are way below what people get on Youtube. Is this because I have loaded up a lot of programs on my S8+ and then run the test? Should I just be installing those programs I am using frequently to keep the phone lean? There is a McAfee suite of programs that seems to be installed on the phone. Will that slow things down much?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Number of installed apps should not slow you down unless the phone is completely full.

McAfee software could slow your phone down and is probably garbage anyway.

Bench marks mean nothing don't pay attention to it.

You should be able to install all the apps you need.

Are any of them using a ton of real or a ton of battery? My guess is you have something garbage installed that is messing with your phone.

Just wondering if anyone else had the same issue I've had with SwiftKey.

I've had this issue across the board, whether it's with Chrome, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Messages etc...

Does anyone else have this issue?

wireless charging with case and magnetic mount

I'd like to use a wireless charging stand at night.

I use the Otterbox Defender case and a magnetic car mount that goes in the air vent (I can't post a link because of my post count, but it's the TechMatte air vent magnetic mount on Amazon). The mount uses a small metal plate between the case and the phone.

Will wireless charging still work through the case and the metal plate? Will the case and plate cause the phone to get too hot from the wireless charging?

Also, what wireless charging stand do you guys use? Which one do you think the best is to keep the phone cool and charge fast?

Check to see if any of your apps are the reason. Chances are that some of your apps are running in the background -> battery drain. Also what you can do is go to settings -> device performance and then press Optimize Now. This helps clean cache and but battery draining apps to sleep.

It is not possible to remove those as it is embedded into the System Ui. No ADB command (that I now of) can remove the nav bar when the keyboard. Perhaps there is some trick you can do if your phone is rooted but chances are, the mod hasn't been created (since the phone is so new).

Hope this helps!

---------- Post added at 04:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 AM ----------

In order to do that you must go into the Samsung Pay app, hit the 3 dots at the top right corner, go to settings, then go to Use Favorite Cards. From there you can control where your Samsung Pay card is allowed to appear. The 3 options are screen off, lock screen, and home screen (in your case, disable Home Screen).

Hope this helps!

Check Galaxy Apps if there is a new version.

If not, go to a site like Apkmirror.com, find Samsung Contacts and download the latest version. I have posted a link that leads you to the download page for the newest contact app (just reinstall the app) https://tr.im/Samsung-Contacts

Sometimes the apps get mixed with older versions, if that is the case, scroll to the bottom where you can see a list of versions of Samsung Contacts. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.

Hope this helps!

Hi all,

I'm wondering something about S8+ and I can't find the answer, so I give a try here :

Is the official firmware of SM-G955F working on SM-G955FD if I flash it using Odin ? I mean specs are the same, FD is dual sim only.

I'm interested because I want to use it in France (XEF) and CSC for it is unavailable, so I thought that maybe it would be possible without "losing" dual sim functionnality.

It's not very well explained, my bad.

Whatsapp emoji-keyboard bug

Hey guys,

so I have the S8+ (Vodafone Germany) running the July2017 Update. Since the update before the July one (I think it was May 2017), I can hide the navigation bar. I really like the feature - it work's fine with all apps....except Whatsapp: when I open the Whatsapp Emoji-keyboard, a black gap appears and the keayboard kind of "slides" down, cutting of the gif and backspace buttons (see screenshot: https:// ibb.co/natSQQ remove the spacebar before ibb.co ).

I already tried changing the standard keyboard or reinstalling Whatsapp. Both didn't help.

Does anyone have an idea, what could be causing this bug?

Thank you for any tips!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] force70:
Im assuming your running on Tmobile in the US given that firmware.

You have an international device which runs on quite different hardware as far as the SoC and GPU goes as compared to a T mobile s8 and runs totally different firmware than a T mobile device entirely.

Your not now and will never get Tmo updates because of this.

Which for us here us not a big surprise lol...this site is amazing. The amount of information on here is incredible
