[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] asestar:
And yet my XZ has absolutely horrible wifi coverage, unable to hold onto signal from a 2.4ghz router 2 rooms away. As a comparison, full metal bodied LG G5 has 2 of 5 bars in exact same spot of house where XZ won't see the router.

---------- Post added at 16:02 ---------- Previous post was at 15:55 ----------

I tried the same with my blue XZ, and yes I have same issue as you. But I use a case so do not notice it.

On my phone, its the bottom left corner that is raised compared to other three. I'm guessing its lack of quality control (and care) by Sony. That's why no other flagship since Galaxy S5 (back in 2014) is made of plastic.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] cocagenda2:
xperia phones were always known for having a bad wifi coverage...i know this cuz i had xperia Z,Z2,Z5 and now XZ and all the same...also i had sgs7 for 4 months and before all of those phones i also had sgs3 and i can confirm that xperias simply cant compete with Samsung in wifi coverage ,there chips are far better.the solution to this is get a wifi extender, atleast for xperias LOL

A sample size of one person isn't enough to declare a widespread problem. It's just as likely if not more so that it's something to do with your own setup or your unintended biases.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

The number of bars is *completely* meaningless, as each manufacturer determines what these arbitrary bars indicate for their own device. A one-bar rating from one manufacturer could easily indicate a stronger signal than a three-bar rating from another manufacturer. If your XZ can't hold onto a 2.4GHz signal from two rooms away, you have a problem, either with your phone or with your network and environment. Mine is fast, snappy and has 3/4 bars on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks when easily 100 feet from the router with at least four or five walls between phone and router. (Just checked and as of right now I have four bars on my 2.4GHz and three on 5GHz in precisely these conditions in a location with ten networks currently visible.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] cocagenda2:
u probably understood us wrong...so let me explain it this way...first its not about the wifi bars cuz they are like u sad in ur comment relevant from manufacturer to manufacturer...now let me give u an example: i leave in 34m2 apartment wich has 2 rooms separated and when i go to toilet and thats about 5-8meters away from my Asus router... so tell me how the hell i loose signal... are u going to say that i leave in a bunker :) it berrarly stays on single bar and it disconnects everytime i move the phone a bit so i have to catch the signal by moving it about meter towards the router.With other branding phones i dont have to do that...even with older ones. All i want to say here is that in my experience i have these issues but im not bothering so mutch cuz it can be solved quite cheep buy buying a wifi extender and also it comes in handy for other opertunities. peace folks
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] anthony_lrk89:
I was realised the issue at the early of the April last month. I bought my Xperia XZ since May 2017. This issue had caused my screen glass poke out and cause the proximity sensor not function properly. After put the phone on a flat marble table I realised that my phone was bend. I thought this might be some hardware problem or probably is battery faulty, then I sent my phone for warranty. The Sony Service Centre managed to change a new frame case as well as the back metal case. Now the phone is no more bending, but the screen glass will poke out when the phone overheat as the service centre did told me this is because of the defective waterproof glue.

I have a Samsung wireless fast charging pad I bought for my S7. Is there any difference in the charging speed between it and the latest dock style ones?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
Nope
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Torry Cox:
Maybe you know. I was told that using non-original wireless charging is bad because they spoil the battery. Is it so?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] johnwayne27:
Generic wireless chargers do not fast charge in my experience. I have tried 3 off of Amazon so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dkb218:
I have a Seneo Fast Charger stand and its been great .
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] craigdamey:
As long as the wireless dock is Fast Charge capable and your adapter is QuickCharge 2.0 compliant it should work. I have four Seneo Fast Charge docks that I use with both Samsung and RavPower QC 2.0 adapters and they work great with my S7 Edge. I will test when I get it but I'd assume the S8+ will work the same.

You know if it is working because the phone displays two messages when you dock it.

"Charging wirelessly xx%"

and then after a second or two

"Fast charging wirelessly xx%"
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
I believe the S8 (like the S7) can accept up to 15w wireless charging (Qi 2.0 spec) but most chargers barely output 10w. Not sure why but I would be looking for a good 15w output charger unless theres a reason not to.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
What does "spoil the battery" even mean?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] craigdamey:
I think the reference is to batteries losing capacity. The older a battery is the less capacity it holds. A battery rated at 3600mAH might only hold 2000mAH after a couple of years of use. High charging current causes a lot of heat buildup in the battery and will shorten (spoil) it's life.

Best way to tell if your battery has lost capacity is to measure charge time. Having it die quickly could mean it's just running too many apps, but charging time (with the phone off) should give an indication of battery capacity. If your battery charges twice as fast as a new one, it's lost half its capacity.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
Got it. Sorry, I actually thought they meant that the battery spoils. Like the way some "normal" batteries blow up if left in devices for too long. I was seeing memories of the S7 nightmare.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zeal415:
AFAIK, the only listed change between the Dock style Samsung Fast charger and the Convertible Fast charger is that the new 1 can be changed from dock to pad.

I just picked up 2x Dock styles from amazon for 40 bucks a piece, way better than spending 70 for the convertible style.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
I was amazed how quickly they showed up too. Took 3 days from order to delivery. I think they purposely put almost 2 weeks delivery time just so that when you get it "early" you're amazed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Torry Cox:
Means that the battery holds its charge less. Faster discharges, in general the life of the battery decreases
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Crouse2017:
If you use Qi wireless charger, it has 1.4x faster than traditional wireless charger. Built-in 2 coils offer a wide charging area, which allows you to place your device in either portrait or landscape position. You can also continue using it to read, watch or type while the battery is being replenished.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] JESUSARIUS REX:
Optimus G, G2, and G3 (current phone) owner here. Is this phone going to be a unlocking nightmare like previous LG phones? IE bump on the G3? Deciding between the G6, S8+, or waiting even longer. Rooting and unlocking is a must, and if this phone is going to be as finicky as previous LGs I think it might be time to jump ship after 5 years with LG.

Edit: Just wondering about peoples predictions, because I scanned the forums for the V30 and G5.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Saythis:
Well, the carrier S8's have an even lower chance of root than the G6 if the S7 has shown anything. Carrier S7's can't even have custom roms, only modifications to the stock rom.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] JESUSARIUS REX:
Thanks for the info. Samsung always had lively development back in the day, so I guess I just assumed it would have it now. I'll keep an eye on the G6 and S8 forums to see how things go. It really sucks that the HTC U ultra doesn't have a headphone jack. I would have picked it up in a heartbeat. HTC really shot themselves in the foot. For now, I guess I might just stick with the G3. It has EVERYTHING new phones have except for a fingerprint scanner. Only thing underpowered is the GPU.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Saythis:
I highly forsee the G6 getting root. At least the T-Mobile version should since it can be bootloader unlocked it seems.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] CharlzO_2000:
No idea on the G6 yet, but the V20 has/had it as an option, and I haven't found a reason to give up my hotspot with it yet. I love Samsung phones, but not having the option of it, is a killer for me.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] markfm:
G3 I bought early and got it rooted early. G6 I'm hoping for an early breakthrough, wouldn't hold off buying (though I'm waiting for a good sale on the us997 or VZW variants), as rooting became progressively tougher as holes were plugged.

Recent Samsungs (including contemporaries of the g3, IIRC) have been really tightly locked down.

I really love/want root. After almost 3 years with a rooted G3 I'd hate not being able to use AdAway, XPrivacy, etc.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] skyfox99:
It's getting harder and harder to root. And sadly there is less and less demand as well as the market being spread thinner. While I would love root (miss Titanium Backup as well as Tasker) to be able to remove or freeze unnecessary apps, I'm actually really happy with the phone as is.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mysticales:
Sooo happy news! Ill finally be posting again on XDA with a new toy. Managed to preorder the S8 in USA =D

Soo..... that being said. Is it safe to assume no one had any prelaunch devices with news on rooting for a titanium backup restore?

Hey guys i'm having some problems with my lg g3 d851, since the screen of my beloved lg g2 died after 2 years and a half, my friend gave me his lg g3 to use it as a tablet since the phone doesnt recognize any signal at all, right now is running the stock rom for android marshmallow t-mobile rom 30e, everything works fine except for the signal that either always keeps in "no service" or "searching", i already try to put another sim card on the phone and its showing the same problem, already checked the IMEI on the swappa blacklist and everything is okay, here are a few screenshots, any thoughts on how to solve this problem would be very appreciated thank you!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Hello dear respected members , i am a noob to all this and s7 edge being my first android , before used nokia n8 and 808 , they were awesome , so a shift from symbian to android , and i am not regretting it :D

So i was using this smartphone (model G935FD dual sim, asian markets) for a week , it was best and no lag , no issues , battery life was amazing , i liked edge screen features , good camera but not exceptional , as i found it not par with 808 , maybe because these nokia phones were legacy , so that was a good experience

until recently i made the worst decision which i regret ever, is of upgrading to nougat , i dont know the phone said updates available and i selected download and install , and when i came back to check , it was a blue screen with android system updating ? i dont know where it came from , and then phone restarted and i got to know that it was updated to nougat

Since then, the phone has many issues , i just want to know that if its only me or others also effected after updating to nougat ? firstly, the edge screen lighting color change option is removed and we cannot assign colors to a contact , then the option to disable apps is not present in settings>applications , and more annoying is that the front camera quality became awful ! much worsened than what it was on marshmallow, also rear camera's quality decreased , and i forgot to say that the raw image capture option also disappeared after updating, no option after selecting pro mode, and then there is lagness in the ui and even the samsung keyboard hangs and words type much later , and the worst problem of all is the battery drain 2X faster than it was on stock marshmallow , so all these things ruined my experience , i contacted samsung live chat and they told i cannot downgrade back to marshmallow :(

i am sorry for such a long writing , but if anyone there experiencing the same problems after update like me ? or i have a defected unit?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] evamae3:
Your not alone

I won't be much help but to make it short.. I have always had Samsung phones since 2012, but Christmas day 2015 I upgraded from galaxy s5 to the Galaxy s6 edge, (my boyfriend GOT S6 edge+.

Needless to say the S6 locked up in February. Then I had his S6 edge+, I lasted a few months and then locked me out to the point we went in and both of us traded in for Iphones.. Lol! I had the IPhone for eight hours in my home and it locked up like fort Knox! Took 2 weeks to get unlocked so TMobile let me return it, I was thrilled to go back to Samsung and got Galaxy S7 Edge. I was lost. Choice of browser? Choice of messaging applications??? I was clueless as to why or how all of this worked! Any I'm in my second S7 Edge Nougat 7.0 but with all that said between TMobile on phone lines, and Tmo Community, Samsung on phone in video chat and the tech inside my mobile, but to no avail, they recommended taking my device into a Best Buy so could evaluate the issues... Also my cable Internet provider (Xfi))=the devil themselves!! Would not really offer any help, ? considering the problems I was having mainly revoked around wifi and Bluetooth network issues I then bought my own wireless gateway and had Best Buy install it, almost $1,000 on that trip! But I still to this day do not have my Galaxy S7 Edge Nougat 7.0 working correctly. Deep in my settings something is still not correct! So sorry so long winded but just don't feel alone! I'm still trying to figure out how to join a help community that I can access from my mobile about my mobile without it screwing up my browser crap!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NonXtreme:
Raw capture is still there in

Camera settings>picture size

Edge screen colored contact...removed in nougat

Front and Rear camera quality is the same as MM for me. Not worse but also not better.

Lagginess UI - No lag for me. Actually smoother than MM.

Battery- A bit worse than MM but still holding strong for me, getting around 5-7 SOT depend on what I do.

My suggestion for you is to do a factory reset. If still not solved try flashing the whole stock rom by odin since OTA update might had some error.

If you want to downgrade. Just download and flash the older rom.

Thanks for replies

thanks [MENTION=8073791]evamae3[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5502846]NonXtreme[/MENTION] , i actually had a fight with the retailer i purchased that this unit was defective :D he said he would talk with the warranty giver company and then update me , but its good to know that others are also facing these problems , so i am not going to replace it now , and for me there is no WiFi or bluetooth issues so far , but i am experiencing much battery drains , and lagness in ui , also front and rear camera quality is very bad for me , and then its sad that they removed color notifications for edge lighting, but [MENTION=5502846]NonXtreme[/MENTION] bro i cannot see where is that Raw image capture option ??? its no where in my camera settings , please can you give me screenshot , and the last option to revert back to previous firmware by odin , sorry but i cannot use this option as this will void the warranty , any other suggestions?

Also flashing firmware by odin shouldn't void your warranty as long as you flash stock unmodified rom.

Does anyone know for sure whether the S8 uses USB 3.1 Gen 2, USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.0, or USB 2.0? And what charging standard it uses within that protocol?

Looking at the unboxings out there so far on pre-releases, it looks like the charger is a black versions of the same as last year's phones, which only supported USB 2.0 with QC 2.0, even though the SD820 supported USB 3.1 Gen 1 and QC 3.0

Thanks! I had been to that page, but didn't notice you could expand that section. At least it's really 3.1 - I was afraid they were going to stick us with something lower for no real reason like they did on the S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] marinebio94:
To everyone who doesn't know, 3.1 gen 1 is the same as 3.0, they just renamed it. 3.1 gen 2 is up to 10 Gbps, while gen 1 is up to 5 Gbps. Realistically, even at gen 1, speeds are going to be limited by the storage of the phone/computer/device, not the usb type. Thus, 3.1 gen 1 (3.0) is more than adequate for almost anything people will be doing with this phone, even tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
^^ What he said
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Illrigger:
Not exactly. USB 3.1 Gen 1 added specs to allow a USB-C connector on top of the existing standard, allowing cable backward compatibility from the 24-pin (actually 12-pin reversible) 10Gbit Gen 2 with older 9-pin USB 3.0 devices for charging and data transfer. It's basically a required middle step so that all USB-based USB-C devices can work together.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] marinebio94:
Fair enough, but my point still stands, there's no performance/speed difference between 3.1 Gen 1 and 3.0.
