[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dumpyloser:
Not looking forward to getting used to this. I have smaller than average hands and I know it will be awkward, but I'll try to survive.

I also am aggravated by the fact that it is impossible for one handed operation on a desk or table. I am work and it just takes a finger swipe with my phone on the desk, but now it will take entering a pin since the FP scanner is on the back and the my face isn't over the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
That is the other irritating thing about it being on the back, when I have the phone in a dock or on the desk I am going to end up picking it up to unlock it instead of just putting my finger on a front facing scanner. I know you can have the iris scanner AND the fingerprint scanner active, but with the iris scanner i would still have to pick the phone up to point it at my eyes so its pretty useless, it will need a pin like you said.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Lagamorph:
On the back is a way better place for the fingerprint scanner than on the front. On my Nexus 6P I can unlock the phone whilst picking it up single handedly. If the finger print scanner were on the front I'd have to pick it up with one hand and use the other hand to unlock it. The size of the phone, the Nexus 6P and the S8 (The plus in particular) mean that bringing your thumb to where a home button would be would be difficult/painful.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
Ummm, so how do you use the phone with 1 hand if you cant reach the home or back buttons??

And you could just pick it up so your thumb CAN reach the front, seeing as you will have to use the home buttons and back buttons anyway....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Lagamorph:
When I unlock the phone it's usually got my internet browser open which is likely what I'm going to be using, so I'm not looking to use the Home/Back buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] YellowGTO:
Obviously this wont work for everyone, but I put all my sensitive information in knox and don't use a lock screen at all. I did it with my Note7 but switch to the V20 with the fiasco. I miss it so much, that i'm willing to plop down another 800 bucks just to get it back lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
I know pretty much nothing about knox other than its some sort of security system that tripped when I rooted my S5 and couldn't be reset, I haven't been keeping up with developments for a couple of years so it seems it has morphed into something else since :p

I tried not using a lockscreen on my s5 as it was irritating having to activate it, then swipe the junk samsung double lockscreen out of the way, THEN enter my pin.......but it made it too easy for it to turn itself on and start doing stuff in my pocket (even with the stupid samsung extra lockscreen still on it) so had to turn it back on. I will end up using the fingerprint scanner on the s8, it sounds like its very quick to unlock that way as long as I can easily reach it. I'm a 2 hander anyway so hoping its not too bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Sindroid:
Love it back there.. Don´t like having anything physical buttons on the front. Is why i opted out from P10 and to this instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ram8704:
I think most functioning human beings will simply adjust to make it work without much issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] crankshaft:
I agree. I'm sure I'll hate it to begin with but will soon adapt.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Scootmien:
It's actually going to be difficult to acquire the fingerprint scanner with my index finger unless I shift my grip from its normal position. I have large hands but I can't bend my index finger back to the scanner position from my normal holding position.

So I probably won't use it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FluxionFluff:
I hold my phone rather high anyway (so the corners don't dig into my palm), so I didn't have issues locating the fingerprint scanner, despite having smaller hands. Maybe it'd be different if I was constantly using my left hand, versus right hand, but at least for me, I don't have the same complaints as others have with the location.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] standard101:
take ur logical thinking out of here buddy. :p

curious about the other lock options on this phone, iris scanner and i thought there was a face recognition function like Windows laptops. potentially wont even need the fingerprint scanner, but i got so used to it on my S6. can't wait to get this phone in my hand!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] YellowGTO:
It allows you to setup a VM of sorts. So you have an entirely different set of contacts, programs apps. One of the best features it it allows you to install the same app twice, so you can switch between user accounts. I don't know exactly when it was added but Samsung phones have been pocket aware for a little while now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xile6:
Ah, i dont think it would be hard to reach. I have a case already for the s8 plus and it seems just fine to me.

The probably would be tapping the camera every now and then.

Or having the phone in the other hand and being on the heart mointor.

Idk why samsung choice to make everything so inline with each other.

But the phone does have irsi scanner. And i ised that alot on the note 7. It work pretty good so we will see how that goes.

It does suck that i cant add my thumbs tho :(

I normally have both thumbs and pointing finger.

I hold my phone woth either hand
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] StarRider:
It's just as ridicolous as it is stupid, having issues with the location of the fp-scanner.

It's a little rectangle measuring som 3x6 inches if we're generous with the inches, and it really doesn't matter at all where the fp-scanner is located on that little rectangle. It's a question of habit and what you are used to. In a couple of weeks you'll be totally used to this and won't even think about it.

What is completely and utterly stupid and incomprehencible though, is that the sensor is squared and not round. That's what makes it easy to miss getting a full reading from it some times, because you don't cover the whole sensor.

The clue is to register fingerprints from as many angles on your finger as possible. If you cover the whole half of the finger-tip, and from all angles of attack, that is put your finger in from the top, bottom and every angle around, and you won't have any problems with not getting it registered.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] craigdamey:
I actually find the S8+ fingerprint sensor a lot easier to use than the S7E. I registered my right thumb with the S7E and realized that most times I'm holding my phone with my right hand so my left thumb would have made more sense. With the S8 I use my left index finger. I have the Spigen Tough Armor case and it's very easy to find the sensor without looking and it has worked very fast and reliably in the few days I've had the phone. Personally if given any choice of where to place it I would have put it exactly where they did. Never had any problem with my finger touching the camera either.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mlock420:
I've grown to it's position rightys have an advantage as I take my phone out my pocket I'm already gripping the base/middle...i start my finger to the left of the phone then I slide it until I feel the sensor and I've never touched the camera and to my surprise it works flawlessly but do I prefer that positioning? Hell no
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
I hold the phone with my left hand and it actually works better for me as I like to hold the phone in the middle instead of the bottom.

Yesterday I made a boot animation for my GF and I'm happy with the result so I decided to share. She likes owls so I made it an owl. :D

This is my first boot animation so nothing too fancy here but I like it and most importantly she likes it too. ;) I will most likely make some other animations too and I post them here.

Preview

(It does not loop that way. When the owl jumps off the phone starts).

Instructions:

-For stock roms this should enable the use of bootanimation.zips: Thread

-Copy the bootanimationOWL.zip to root/system/media.

-Change the name of the original bootanimation to for example "bootanimation.zip.bak"

-Change the name of the new animation to "bootanimation.zip"

-Give the file permissions:

r -w -x

r -x - x

r -x - x (rw-r-r)

-Reboot!

Feel free to send your homemade or any boot animations that suit our j5. If anyone is interested of how to make one or have any questions I will gladly share my knowledge and try to answer. Also if anyone wants to make modifications to the animation I can send the adobe illustrator file and or adobe animate file that I created making this.

In case you run into trouble with boot animations then just rename the original .zip to "bootanimation.zip" and remove the one that causes issues.

Happy owling!

Can't get to download mode after "error occurred while updating device SW". s7 edge

While trying to upgrade my Claro galaxy s7 edge from android 6.0 to 7.0 using Smart Switch my phone crashed and the software got corrupted. (couldn't do it through manual/automatic update).

Now i'm stuck on the

Window :

"An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". I tried both the emergency Software Recovery and Device Initialization but both failed with error "failed to run firmware upgrade unknown error occurred". Tried it in different computer, restarting both the devices, reinstalling device driver. Nth worked.

Finally i searched forums and tried to flash custom rom using ODIN. Thing is while downloading the ROM my phone went to Download mode when i pressed "Volume up" + Power + Home button but now the combination just does nothing and i'm stuck on the "An error has occured window". I tried 300k tool and also Both volume + power + slide in usb cable combo but nth happened. I tried to install custom rom through ODIN while in this window but ti fails after 2 mins too.

Also Pressing Volume down Power and home (recovery mode) brings me to this same window again and again. Just waiting for the battery to die and start anew.

Just 4 days with my phone. :( Any help to solve these problem are appreciated. :D

Stuck on error screen; no download mode

I am having the same issue after trying to flash updated ROM on my S8 via Odin. Process got to the end and said 'FAIL'. Following the reboot, I was stuck on the 'An error has occurred...' screen and every attempt to enter Download mode or recovery mode (By quickly switching to the volume up button in between reboots, as you stated) has failed. Smart Switch is not recognising my device either despite all the correct Samsung USB drivers being installed. Any ideas anyone?

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] hunter99507:
I was flashing the new small eui rom. It flashed perfectly however I cannot get past the leeco sign up or register screen. It says my phone number is assosiated with this phone and asks me to enter my password. The problem is I never created a password for it. When I press forgot my password I get an error that tells me I cannot reset my password from this screen.

When I go on my computer to the website to reset my password it tells me they will send a verification code to my phone to reset. The problem is, I cannot get to my text messages due to having no way to bypass the screen.

Is there anyway I can reset my password somehow to bypass the screen?

I still have access to twrp.

Thank you
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] xlcashlx:
If you don't need access to the data on the phone, wipe all besides storage and re install small eui.

But before you do anything, create a backup with TWRP!
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] hunter99507:
I tried that and that didnt work. I read that it is based on your IMEI.

I did figure it out though. I put my sim card into my wifes phone. Reset the password via SMS verification using her phone, then I was able to reset the device.

You don't need another device if you have this problem. You can just install one of the non-eui custom roms like Lineage, or one of the older eui roms that allow you to skip the leeco account log in step, and get the text that way.

By me putting my sim card in my wife's phone I am able to receive SMS from my number on her phone.

So today after cleaning up my phone's memory with the built in phone manager app, the design of Messanger app has changed and I don't know how to revert it. I've tried to uninstall it, restart my phone, nothing. I thought that it'll only delete cached images and that kind of stuff, but it fu**ed up the app.

Well XDA doesn't allow me to post link to the photos, so I'll split the link:

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a very odd issue. I recently installed 7.1.2 from factory image and decided to also install TWRP in order to install a few modifications.

I was able to install the new kernel that allows Android pay to work with unlocked bootloader just fine.

However, I can't install SuperSU for some reason. I'm installing the zip file from TWRP just fine, however when I go searching for the app it's not there, and even if I install it from Google play it's telling me the system is not rooted.

I tried even downgrading a version of TWRP and SuperSU and still no go.

Anyone have any idea what is going on?

Thanks!

Hello,

I'd try reflashing stock boot.img from your 7.1.2 factory image.

The fastboot boot TWRP.img and install TWRP zip.

Install SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip

Reboot to system. From here you should have superSU​ installed.

Reboot to TWRP and install custom kernel zip.

Hopefully it will work...

Good luck...

Your explanation in the other post and this one are different. Just try in the order from my previous post... :)

For your information, you can choose the active slot. It's not "like a game of chance". Just use the proper command:

fastboot --set-active=a

Or

fastboot --set-active=b

Good luck...

[Android Head-Units] Flemischguy:
There a lot of Android head units that have quad cores and lately octa cores.

On Youtube we see only the unit it self but no comparison between different head unit brands.

Some brands sharing the same UI when others uses a other UI's.

KGL uses Rockchip PX5 A53 8-Cores, Joying the Intel quad core Sofia 3GR, Xtron a octa core RockChip RK 3066 1.5ghz, Ownice uses the MT3561 quad core and recent the MT3562 octa core.

I hope that there is a youtube blogger who can ask the brands to send it too them so he or she can run a comparison review between the main players of the Android head units. (like they do with the android tv boxes)

Good idea or not?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] al_jae:
Hi guys,

I installed MIUI 8 through TWRP, but didn't quiet like it, so I decided to try out other ROM's like Lineage OS, but none of them would install. When I tried to reboot using MIUI which was still installed, I couldn't use the keyboard anymore, so I decided to go back to TWRP and install the SuperUser Version of EUI I have already used for quiet a while. It installed correctly, but when I rebooted my phone, MIUI somehow tried to boot again. I went back to TWRP, installed EUI, but when I rebooted, MIUI tried to boot again. The big issue is that MIUI can't really start up which means that the start screens just keeps rotating, but nothing else happens. Does anybody have an idea how to solve that problem? I never experienced such an issue. Thanks!
