[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Reactiv:
I've ordered the S8 but am now having the same dilemma. Would the S8+ be too big? I like phones that aren't phablet territory and can be used one handed. The narrower width helps on the S8/+ I suppose.

Is there anywhere in the UK we can actually see the devices?

Second consideration is paying another £90 for an already expensive phone which will only see a 0.5inch difference in screen size and all else staying the same.

I don't even know what a 'normal' price for a flaghship is these days (last I paid was about £360 for the Axon 7 and even looking at a comparison with the S8 it's hard to see £320 of difference in the S8)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] azsgolf:
I'm a shorter person, smaller hands. The 8+, while nice, was just too big. My wife has the iPhone 6plus and its too big. The 8 should be just right.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FluxionFluff:
I already pre-ordered the S8, which already took me an hour of playing with the phones to end up with that decision. However, I've gone back there a few times since (enough so that the guy working in the Samsung Experience area recognizes me, lawl), and I'm still debating between the two.

I'm getting the S8 no matter what, however... it's the size that driving me up the wall. The more I compare the two, the more I'm leaning towards the S8+, as the S8 is starting to seem small to me (and this is coming from someone with small hands, lawl), but I don't wanna willynilly switch my pre-order like crazy, as I don't wanna be known as that girl who keeps on changing her mind on the phone. XD Even if they're nice to my face, as that's part of the job, I know they're totally judging, haha.

I still have time to sleep on it and it's not like money's an issue with the plans. I wouldn't be paying much more. If Best Buy didn't have their pre-order deal, I would totally get the regular one because I'm not paying $100 more for the larger phone. With the deal, the S8+ is the same price as the regular S8 at full price and only $50 more than the S8 is. Totally muddles everything, haha.

Ditto on this dilemma. I keep going to Best Buy to compare the two and I'm starting to lean towards the S8+. But, I wanna be 100% sure that I wanna switch my pre-order before doing it. I'm coming from the S6, so the S8+ is similar width, but taller. I'm also scared that adding a case will make it too big. Would be soo much easier to decide if they had cases there, but those aren't there yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ttown:
Glad to see I'm not the only crazy one here. I went to Best Buy today to see the phones, but didn't preorder yet. Thinking about going back tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FluxionFluff:
I swear I'm usually not THIS indecisive about a phone, haha! XD The hardest thing is USUALLY the color, because up until now, that was the case, but even then, it didn't take an hour to figure that out. Think why I ended up picking the S8 originally to pre-order was because it's similar in size to my S6, but taller and skinnier.

Even then, the S8+ wasn't completely overwhelming for me, but thought the same concern that I think of now, will it be too tall/thick once I add a case to it? I don't plan on adding something like an Otterbox to it, but something like my Spigen Galaxy S6 Case Slim Armor. If they had cases already, this would help sooo much, but nope.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fcb1:
Went to Best Buy today... and I have decided on the s8+. The big screen is overwhelming but it will take little getting used to. I think the deciding factor was the bigger battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FluxionFluff:
Oh yeah, so just as an update, I ended up cancelling my S8 pre-order and changed it to the S8+. The more I compared the two, the more I felt that the regular one was a bit small. I've never had a phone as large as this, so this... will be a VERY interesting experience. But, compared to other large phones on the market, this one doesn't feel unwieldy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fcb1:
I actually meant the big screen isn't overwhelming lol. I think you made the right choice.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FluxionFluff:
Haha, yeah, was wondering what you meant by it being overwhelming. :P Yeah, I think so too. I still have some concerns with cases, but, regardless, I'm VERY excited for launch day!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] R_Fated_Circle:
I went with the S8 as I've had larger phablet phones like the xperia z ultra (one of biggest phones of them all) to the nexus 6 and overall i just prefer phones within 5 to 6 inch range that i can preferably use mostly 1 handed.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrPhilo:
I nearly got the S8+, since it's only a tad big taller than my 3T! But thinking logically, I probably have difficulties reaching the top of the phone... The size isn't the problem, its' reaching the screen etc.

But yeah I have ordered it from Argos, Buy it now pay 12 month later :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Djapatos:
Same here..i ve made 3 trips to best after i ordered the S8 but each time i am trying to convince myself to cancel and order the S8+, i just couldnt.

I couldnt havent pull the notification bar down with one hand..and that fingerprint scanner? Forget about reaching it.

So yea sticking with the S8
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
A lot of launchers have swipe down gestures to pull down the notification bar, but i'm still sticking with the s8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chaos Engine:
Coming from an unwieldy Nexus 6P, I decided to go for the S8 and sacrifice some battery life for one-handed usability.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lynxblaine:
I have an S8+ on pre-order. There is no way of holding the device until release date in the UK, all stores have a device locked to their stand only. I am thinking it will be okay, I use my phone so much for Sat-nav and when I am at work I don't use my phone that much. I really wanted to go to a much larger screen, it definitely will be coming from an S6 Edge with that being a 5.2 inch screen or whatever. I do worry a little about the fingerprint reader, battery life, and size of the screen. There is 1 handed mode though for a reason to get best of both worlds.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] running water:
I've gone for the S8 plus. I found the S8 to be a nice size but still fumbled a bit when typing. The plus was that much better size for me. I could also reach the whole thing one handed both front and back.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] eurorauser:
Preordered the S8+ but after going into the galaxy store in NYC and playing with the phones realized what a lot of other people have said - its just a tad too big. Also, on that bigger phone, the 'infinity' display just seems less impressive. The wow factor is definitely bigger on the smaller unit (if that makes any sense). So I had ATT switch my preorder (without losing my place in line).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clockedtouch:
I made the mistake of not looking at the phone instore before ordering I myself had to cancel and go with the S8 +. I'm currently using a Mi Note 2 and it's crazy but that phone is smaller. The S8 is way to small for my big hands I almost felt like I was using a S6 Edge
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] EVOme:
So excited to get my plus....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
S8Plus for me coming from Nexus6p...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MasK:
From the initial videos.. I cursed Sammy for not catering for the small phone segment.

Upon testing the phone several times in stores, I found the S8 pretty small. It's narrower than my Pixel. I am sold! I do wish they'd stick to 16:9 ratio and making the phone shorter while retaining the bezel sizes.. but oh well!

Looking at the balance of preferences here.. I think Samsung did a pretty good job in getting sizes for all folks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ttown:
I ended up preordering the 8+. I also ordered the Spigen Liquid Crystal case which I think will give a descent amount of protection and isn't too bulky. The case arrived a couple of days ago, and it's calmed my concerns of pocketability. BTW, I think this should be a new word added to the dictionary this year thanks to the Phablet market. On a related note, my wife and two daughters all preordered the regular S8. I think it is a good fit for each of them. Looks like we will be a Samsung family. My youngest daughter is coming over from the iPhone. Finally!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Robert542:
I went with the S8 because I'll be getting the Note 8 as a business phone. Having two big phones is a pain.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
I had S7 edge for 6 months and preferred the s8 as physical dimension is almost 99% close to S7 edge.

I can't handle with biggest phone especially the tallest one parameter.

S7 Edge:150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7 mm (5.94 x 2.86 x 0.30 in)

S8, it's a big upgrade coming from S6. Checked out both phones, the S8+ was just too long and will have trouble fitting in my pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thomaz Siegrist:
Hey guys,

For those ones who used to handle a S7 Edge, how are you felling about handling a S8 / S8+? Is the first one too small and the second one too big? I have an S7 edge and I wish a phone which fits in my hand like the S7 Edge used to do. Which one is the closest of the S7 Edge model? I know the dimensions of them, but I am searching for a real impression.

Sorry for bad english.

would you specifiy the product? :)

The Anker PowerPort+1 18W (QC 3.0, one Port) doesn't quick charge my G5 plus. Stays in 5 V + 1.5 A mode (which is only 7.5 W), instead of 12 V + 1.5 A (which is 18 W and does the exact same harm to the battery due to the same current... - so in this case I'd prefer to use one that uses quick charge).

I hope you don't mind me asking, but: Does this mean you've been testing it with a voltage and current USB monitor (power monitor) that it really charges with a voltage of something like 9-12 V(DC) and a current of 1-1.5 A(DC) and you've also seen the "turbo charge" within the G5 Plus display or does it just "work" in the sense of "it is charging, but not sure at which power" :) ?
[Moto G5 Plus Accessories] ckret:
Well I dont have a voltage and current meter but testing it with the app Ampere it shows same value and also on connecting it displays "turbocharger connected"

Hey everybody!

I "recently" moved to Dev. Preview 5 and I have noticed this weird drain from the Heart Rate app.

Well, I actually noticed this back on DP4 and maybe even 3, but I just disabled the app and forgot about it. The problem is that now I actually want to use the app.

So, this drain is without even using or opening the app... I got up to 10% drain from the app for not even using it

I don't remember getting that much drain on previous Previews or Android Wear 1.5

You can flash it from your PC. Put the RUU.zip into your fastboot folder and rename the .zip to something easy like RUU

Plug your phone in and get into bootloader/fastboot

fastboot oem rebootRUU (this will take you to RUU mode)

fastboot flash zip RUU<or whatever you named it to>.zip and then when the flash is done

fastboot reboot

When making a call on wp8.1 and windows 10 mobile threshold 2 the other party can hear me clearly with no problems but when I upgrade to windows 10 AU if I put the phone on my ear the other party can barely hear my voice but if I move it away he can hear me well

So I'm assuming the issue is related to the proximity sensor and the screen going off

So what I need to know if I can prevent the screen from going off while on call or maybe comparing the way microphone behave(if it's possible) between wp8.1 and w10 AU

Thanks in advance

I assume the development will start once more phones are out there for the additional ROMs. If anything, Im sure LineageOS will have something cooked up soon (If not already).

Hey! I have a Zenfone 2 ZE551ML (Z00A) which always brick when I try installing a new rom. The first time I tried installing RR and so, I downgraded to Lollipop so that could use Asus official tool to unlock my bootloader, then I flashed a TWRP recovery (I'll post the file here) through fastboot and booted to recovery mode. I used the TWRP recovery to then install ASUS rom for Android 6.0 (because the RR thread says I must have Android 6 previously installed) then I restarted and.... got bricked. To unbrick, I used this tutorial from here (one that teached me how to use xFSTK and fastboot to bring my phone back to life) and then unlocked the bootloader and flashed the TWRP recovery, did the update to 6.0 then when I tried to flash RR TWRP says I can't install it (I got error 7) the I reboot and got bricked again. Can someone here please help me?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenbo111:
There's a lot going on here. You need to spend some time reading through the threads. Basically, you can't flash the official asus rom with twrp. It requires stock recovery. And you need to be sure to have the correct bootloader for the custom rom you are installing. Basically, Lollipop roms based on stock rom and Cm13 based roms need Lollipop bootloader. Marshmallow roms based on stock mm rom and LinOS 14.1 based roms need the Marshmallow bootloader. That's where your error 7 was coming from.

Again, read the first post of the Rom you want to install carefully. It should tell you what you need.

I'm brand new to rooting android devices, however so far I have technically successfully rooted my Galaxy S7 Qualcomm (AT&T). However when I open the SuperSu app it says I have to update SuperSu binary and I can do that normally or by using a custom recovery. However since I rooted a Qualcomm device I don't have a Custom Recovery. But when I select normal it loads for a minute then tells me that it wants to disable knox to make SuperSu run smoother. But when I select accept it says it cannot do it and exits out of everything. Thanks for any help you can provide!!
[SuperSU] Ibuprophen:
It looks like you didn't achieve proper root. Meaning, your root may not have completed fully and Knox is preventing SuperSU from installing the Superuser Binaries.

This is a common thing for those who are new with achieving root.

I'm not sure how to provide additional guidance without what you did for rooting the device.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gooberdude:
OK, I have had a few questions on how I was able setup my 5110 and 5120 ATT I467 models.

There are a number of single ported apps to produce various changes over stock, along with custom firmwares with unique features to allow more customised offerings to replace stock components.

Even though I do not care for everything tab4, there are similarities in how I did my setup. Everything to make gallery 100% functional with bells and whistles like other high end models to nearly full functioning Studio and fully functional Quick connect with customise controls on favorites and images for your connections. Not one custom firmware ever produced such hand picked offerings even by collaboration. What started my customization was untouched S5 libs and some apps. After a bit of trial and error, about 150 libs were hand selected and updated by newer KK firmware for the 5110, I467, and Note2. Once the libs are in place, many untouched system apps begin to show features hidden within their functions.

Here is a few odds and ends that I have customised without doing a bit of porting and modding of files.
