[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Though I have pre ordered the S8+ I am not excited about it? Generally when a new mobile is due I get like a school kid at Christmas and count the hours and days away. The Note 7 drove me crazy and when it arrived it was MORE than I could ever wish for, simply a superb mobile and I have been buying them since 1989 when they where bricks! (I wrote Bricks!)

I have read what few Youtube reviews there are and the S8 is just not giving me that buzz you know the feeling that's why you are on this forum.

Am I the only one feeling this way? :eek:

'Maybe' its after owning the Note 7, no mobile has come even close to it for me? Maybe its just the evolution of the S brand more than the revolution that made that Note 7 stand out? Since the Note 7 I have owned 3 mobiles and they have all been just tools non of them has given me pride of ownership, non of them have got that wow factor.

I promised myself I would NOT purchase the S8+ and wait for the Note 8. I am so weak.....Is there another shrink in the house? Heeeeelp. :crying:

Hope you all enjoy a great Easter. :good:

Maybe don't upgrade as often and when you do you'll see a huge upgrade. Coming from the Moto x pure I'm happy to finally have usb-c, fingerprint reader, better IPS rating, better camera, ability to pair to 2 bluetooth devices ect... If you already have the S7 this phone isn't really that much of an improvement. Usually ever 2 years is a good measure if you can wait that long. I went from S3 to S5... From S5 to s6 didn't seem like that much of an improvement so I jumped to Moto x pure before the S7 came out.

I am personally more excited for this device than i have been for a long time. When they stole my Note 7 from me, i was angry and hurt and as a way to lash out, i went Apple! Just like so many mistakes made as a youth, it turns out i wasnt hurting anyone but myself. Sadly, there wasnt really another phone out there to go for since i had went from the s7 to the Note 7. Now, im anxious to get back.

I would still have my note 4 now if it did not break and Samsung would not fix it but replaced it with a s7. The screen size it everything for me as I watch everything on it. Sold the new s7 cannot wait for my s8+ 5.1inch way to Small for a top end phone these days
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] The Phone Company:
This "review" put a bit of a dampener on things, but being a Note 4 user for the past few years I am probably due an upgrade. Pre-ordered S8+, probably will mean I won't be getting any Note 8 as I have always honored my 2 year contracts since my first S2 "smart phone"

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
Coming from the S6 I'm very excited about it, going to get it in a week or less :D The overall specs updates for me are a reason to upgrade in themselves, the display, and other features that attract S7 owners adding to it.

But honestly speaking, I do feel a bit backstabbed by Samsung. The phone here in Finland cost more here than anywhere else in the world, and I got NO bonuses of any sort with it, while people in other countries are getting free 256gb SD cards and VR headsets. The bonuses aren't anything that I would particularly use, but it feels kind of rude from Samsung that some areas are left out on bonuses completely, while having a higher price than anywhere else.

But nevertheless, I haven't lost a single bit of the hype I had at launch (and for months before it, based on leaks), and I have all reasons to believe that it's going to be an amazing phone. Going to be a long week to wait :)

Coming from the Nexus 6P, I'm pretty pumped. Last Samsung phone I had was the note 4, note 2 before that and s2. I think I'm more excited for not being able to root again and seeing if I could take it with the s8 plus lol. But overall I'm curious to see how Samsung has progressed over the years.

I'm upgrading from a Note 4 which I got on release day back in 2014. I had a Note 7 on order but it was recalled before I received it.

Same scenario. I didn't even know that the Note 7 was due for release, had searched if Nougat was available for Note 4 as some apps were updating for Android N. Search had showed me that Note 7 was being pre-ordered with Gear VR. I pre-ordered, but was told the VR promotion wasn't available.

Waiting for the Note 7 to arrive which never did because…

Im more curious at this point than excited, curious to see if I will like the aspect ratio or not.

If I like it then I will swap for a exynos device which will hopefully be BL unlocked and have root, twrp etc.

Hard to get excited about a model (snapdragon) that will see never see any of that more than likely.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] nosympathy:
having had the Note 7, I get what you mean, but at the same time, having to suffer the horrible S7E (it really is a terrible phone compared to the Note 7 by a hundred miles) I am just excited to have a phone that should be drastically better even if it isn't Note 7 better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
That's the problem. After owning a Note 7 there was no other option, still isn't! I have been and still am in a mobile vacuum waiting for what could replace my Note 7. I don't find the S7E horrible its just not a Note 7?! I ponder if this S8+ is going to be drastically better? That is my concern as its very VERY expensive here, even more than my beloved and mega missed Note 7.

Unsure about that aspect ratio? You see I am my own worst enemy! I can never wait, I have to pre order and that's a very unwise thing to do. I haven't even seen one in the flesh yet! Specs wise its just not giving me that buzz. I hope to be pleasantly surprised though. Launch date here is the 28th! most of Europe is the 18th, 20th or 21st. I am anxious about this purchase, anxious I am not going to like it. Agaaaaaaaaaa:eek::crying:

Should've held on to your Note 7 ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] nosympathy:
specs on the Note 7 weren't super amazing either, when compared to the S7E, but they are worlds apart.

really the only differences were software (which both versions of ever 7.0 are pretty different) and the size/less steep curve of the device and the pen. Granted there is also Gorilla Glass 5 vs 4 but not something you'd notice unless dropped/hit/etc.

processor and ram were the same (which is why I don't understand still why the S7E is a laggy battery hog compared to the Note 7.)

S7E to 8+ is a bigger jump from a specs stand point than S7E to Note 7 would be.

It's not just the Giggsy button, the darned thing is constantly working "under the hood". Extremely intrusive. From the Samsung page, off the top of my head, not word for word, but you get the gist:

"Bixby lives inside your Camera, inside your Gallery, Bixby watches you type, watches your daily routine, Bixby can hear you, Bixby gets to know you... Bixby writes its own code...."

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JesseMT4G:
I ended up checking them at the store. It's a nice phone, definitely a looker, but just did nothing over my current phone the Mate 9. It's slower, camera don't do that wide aperture I love and that weird aspect ratio killed it for me. Also can't grasp how tall it was. Just a strange device to use. At least they are inovating. Just sometimes for certain people like me I enjoy flat screens.

Mate 9 is the best phone I have used to date. Speed, smoothness, camera and the battery..... Just Wow!

Anyway, I am sure they will sell like hotcakes. I am waiting for the note 8 and hopefully it don't have this weird aspect ratio or tallness. If so, Mate 10....lol!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] CConn882:
This is probably going to sound crazy to most people here, but I'm honestly thinking of skipping the S8+ for a Moto G5 Plus instead.

"Why on earth would you do that?!" You ask. Well, I have an S7 currently, and it's constant lag and mediocre battery life were getting me so annoyed, I decided to order the cheaper, base model Moto G5 Plus from Amazon to try it out. I figured, not only would it save me from being annoyed by my S7 for the few weeks before the S8+ would come out, but I could also measure my S7's performance against it just to prove my S7 really did suck.

And having used the G5 Plus for about a week now, I really, really like it. To be perfectly honest, it does out perform my S7. Everything but gaming apps open faster, and even with gaming apps, I haven't experienced any lag or slowdown on the phone. And pure Android is just so much snappier and easier to use than TouchWiz. Hell, even with only 2GBs of ram, the phone has been perfectly functional for me. The display and the camera aren't in the same league as my S7, but they're both functional enough. And the battery life? Consistently 7-8 hours of SOT with ease. If I pushed it hard, I could probably get 9 hours out of it.

That's exactly what I want in a phone; consistently smooth performance with a battery life that keeps me from having to run to a charger 2 or 3 times a day. I can do pretty much everything I need to do on it, and I don't feel like I have a piece of flawed tech like I did with the S7 every time it started dropping frames or running super hot on me. No matter how pretty phone is, or how sharp the display is, your software should run smoothly, imo.

I still have my S8+ on order, but I'm going to really test it out before I commit to it. If it has any hint of the performance or battery opportunities my S7 had, I'm returning it and just buying the $300 G5 Plus. Not to mention, the prospect of not having to sell out $42 bucks a month in a phone lease and insurance is pretty appealing too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I dont think you sound crazy at all. After my situation with the Note 7 I had an impossible task to fulfill namely replacing said mobile, as I wrote, impossible. I knew the S8 was a matter of months away so purchased the Samsung Galaxy S5 just as some sort of would be lollipop. I already owned the Galaxy S6+ so didnt really need another mobile.

Long story short, the build quality and function and performance of the A5 was amazing and cost less than half the price of the Note 7. Here lies the rub though. The A5 is a very accomplished middle of the road mobile phone and bang for buck its bloomin incredible. I actually pondered why I had been spending twice that amount for so little return, THE exception being the legendary Note 7 that simply trounces every present day phone on the market.

I changed TV packages at home and in the end needed a dual SIM mobile so purchased the new Zenfone in January.

Though the zenfone works well its no better than the A5 in any respect yet is 100.00€ more expensive. I eventually saw an S7E on offer and bought that. Though I don't share your thoughts on the S7E I do know a tiny tiny minority found the Note 7 to lag :eek:. My guess would be there will be lemons in all purchases we make and perhaps your lagy S7 is a lemon? The S7 is an outstanding mobile. Battery life is another point. ALL flagships suffer in comparison to lower range mobiles in this respect its simply the lore of sciences. 15 years ago my Nokia would run a week on one charge, its like comparing apples with oranges though, see my point?

Point is there comes a cut off point in this technology where we pay for those extra milliseconds of speed etc. There are already numerous comparison clips on Youtube of the S8+ V...whatever and sure the S8+ 'appears' the fastest Android on the market BUT and OH BUT in every day use no way on earth would one notice that difference!

Technology seems to be reaching a ceiling with mobiles and its becoming more and more problematic for companies to innovate new tech. I am unsure if I am going to like the aspect ratio of the S8+.

My point here is compromise also needs. Most people I know do not buy flagship mobiles and think I am crazy in spending such truly silly money on a mobile phone. They are right as you are, its me who needs to see a shrink!

Tech, however, is my one vice and I mean only vice. That's how I self justify my insanity! :silly:

You should buy what fits your needs. The tech bug is a pig to treat and control be thankful you don't have that virus :victory:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xPr0metheus:
No you are not. I feel exactly the same. I bought the S8+ because my S7 Edge was stolen. My best friend just got a new S7 Edge for extending her contract - she was a little sad when I told her she should've talked to my before doing so because with a little wait she also could have gotten the S8. But I told her not to be. For me it feels like comparing the iPhone 6 vs the 6s... there is really no need to upgrade. I really like the S8+ but... it's not that special. I also wanted the Note 7 and still feel it was more exciting...

I think my feelings on this are a little different.

I have the iPhone 7+ and I cannot wait to get rid of it. I had the Note 7 and the fact I had to go through 2 Note 7's just left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't want to downgrade to the S7E because after the Note EVERYTHING felt inferior. I went to the iPhone just so I could get most of my money back when I went to sell it. I knew that wouldn't be the case with Samsung phone.

Now, if I was currently using the Note 7 I would wait until the Note 8. That's where my excitement lies.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] apprentice:
I replaced my Note 7 with an S7 edge and just didn't feel the love. I sold it when the Huawei Mate 9 caught my eye and I couldn't be happier with it. Its battery life, camera, huge screen and performance are super impressive. As a self confessed Samsung fanboi using a Huawei as my phone of choice seemed alien at first but now I am very comfortable with it.

I agree with the OP that I also usually get very hyped up when a new phone is launched, especially when it's a Samsung. But the S8 has not really given me much to get excited about. Sure it has an awesome screen but it reminds me too much of the S7 and I just didn't bond with that phone. Maybe I am still grieving over the Note 7, I dunno.

I am very happy with the Mate 9 but I am getting really excited about the Note 8 this year so who knows!

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Simone98RC:
Hi guys,

just today I've installed latest Dirty Unicorns v11.3, so I decided to enable encryption for more secure (like in OOS by default)... but the process ended with a bootloop.

At this point, I've geniusly done a full wipe, to keep encryption and reflash system... the system now is working even with encryption.

But I've noticed that only 24 GB are usable, because 30 GB are allocated by Android system.

According to TWRP, I'm having a 24 GB /data partition.

This is a "false trouble" until first boot (because storage will be properly seen as 53 GB), but now it's happening even after booting the system!

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Simone98RC:
The solution is much simple: the default encryption won't be touched until typing fastboot format userdata in Bootloader Mode.

When switching between different roms, I simply have to do all the needed wipe: encryption remains in any case without any trouble, and the storage is fully usable and recognized.

The thread is now closed.

I have tried a few aftermarket chargers and none had the capability to connect to the PC. The wiring of these aftermarkets may only be set for charging purposes, just as some usb cables despite looking normal will only charge and not transfer data. Gotta keep the original cable around or you may be out of luck.

Cheers thanks for the response

Problem is I bought the watch and there was no charger with it so had to get one from Amazon. Charges the watch ok but cannot get it to connect to PC. Was trying to load apps via this and found this out. Then trying the ADB route via Bluetooth but cannot get this working. Have a few apk’s on the phone for watch faces Fossil etc just wondering how I can force these onto the watch?
[Huawei Watch] Techlyfe:
Since you have the nice watch, it may be beneficial to shell out the 40$ for OEM charger. I've tried to get Bluetooth adb running in the past but it always ended up with it not working and me with a headache... What I will try later tonight is wireless adb. It worked surprisingly well with my firestick. There was an actual PC app for it that may just work for the watch.
