Welcome to enjoying the stupidness of a curved screen. I sure hope this is a a fad, and goes away forever.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ChrisM75:
The pictures are completely normal for a curved screen phone. There is no fault, its just the nature of the beast. If you cant handle it buy a different phone, its the only option.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] balpreetsaini:
Its not just the edges. Its also present for most units at the top and bottom of the phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] moisha:
same here - the pinkish discoloration on the right edge and the top. did not have that on my S7 Edge.

buy a phone with a flat screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mrvain84:
Hi,

I just returned my 6th S8+ unit (all of them had either pink or green tint + some other problems, totally unacceptable for me). What I noticed about these curved edges is that the intensity depends on the unit. Some of them are just little bit darker (little shadow), it is almost unnoticeable and it is completely normal. But some of them have visible edges, like the glass has been curved too much. Add pinkish tint to and it makes it look really bad. But what is worse is the greenish/blueish tint as it creates very strange glowing effect. It's like edges are glowing on their own, it looks really bad. So if you get the phone with green tint on the screen there is a huge change you will have glowing edges (I had it in my two greenish units).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] moisha:
Mind sharing where did you purchase you S8 ?

I had 2 S7 Edge and 2 Note 7 - neither had this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
so you agree that its not normal and its very possible to have a device without the issues others are having.. ive had multiple s6e, s7e and note 7 as well prior withoit the issue lol

The newest update alleviates the issue a little, but the pinkish tint is still there and still visible. I think I'm gonna return mine to the store.

Someone knows How we can enable immersive mode (hide the softkeys) on the Device?

Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] vw65bus:
Download gmd immersive on the place store. If you purchase it you can eliminate the color bar. As far as factory from samsung I don't think there's any way, but could be wrong
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] saywhat4118:
I would like to know as well. Maybe a way to hide in certain apps and have it out in other apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Gh0sTSh4d0w:
You can use ADB to hide the nav bar and notification bar as well.

As for using on certain apps, it's a little hard work, but it can be done.

Hi!

I'm using lineage latest + magisk + elementalx in my N5.

I loose root access when I reboot my phone. Sometimes I have to make multiple reboots to get the root back.

Any ideas?

My flash order is lineage -> gapps -> magisk -> elementalx
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejas04:
Flash elemental x first and then magisk.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H@des:
installed magisk uninstaller and flashed stock boot, then tried your flash order. it's still the same
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejas04:
Try a clean install using the same order.

I use it to wake my phone when it is in my desk and just put in the pin if I just want to check a notification real quick without picking up the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] YellowGTO:
It's so you don't mistakenly wake the phone. But playing around with the display I can't decide if the entire display is pressure sensitive, or it just takes you longer to push hard. But it seems if you push hard on the icons the long press context menu pops up (no tactile feedback).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kyledb:
I changed the sensitivity to the most sensitive in the settings, it doesn't really add any feature but it makes pressing the home button feel a little bit nicer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ingenious247:
Where was the sensitivity setting?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kyledb:
you can find it in the settings where you can change the navigation bar around, just a few options below it.

I ordered 3 S8+ phones from Verizon on March 30.

2 phones ship, but with 2 day air (my plan includes next day air) due to VZW rep screw up.

The 3rd phone they send an email telling me that they need more info, but nothing in the email says what they need. I get a call on the 15th and they say they need my credit card number. I told them I entered it, and it even appears on my order receipt they emailed me. Rep said they dont have it so I give it to them. They cancel my order! Then place another one (without mentioning that of course). And yes, the moron changed it to 2 day air.

2 phones get delivered on the 20th and I register right away for the Samsung promotion and choose the $99 offer on both.

3rd phone delivers today, no option to select the $99 dollar offer on that.

VZW wants to call Samsung and see if they can get them to honor the promo I missed out on due to VZW incompetence. Of course I know its not gonna happen. After an hour, the rep says she cant hold any longer for Samsung and tells me to email her when I hear from them. Another hour later, I give up.

I check the status of my orders and one says processing the other says approved. Nothing mentions paying the $99.

I have a feeling that none of them are going to happen.

What a useless promo. They had such a severely limited amount that you not only had to preorder on day one (like a lot of us) but then you also had to hope your carrier didnt screw up (like VZW), and then even though you get to select it, then you still could be out of luck.

Samsung, you blew it again. I thought the Note 7 , and the replacement Note 7 was a mess and pain in the @ss..... now this crap?

As a twist, I was able to click buy for the $99 promotion. It wouldn't let me add my credit card to samsung pay(not supported), wouldn't let me click on paypal(gave an error), and wouldn't let me just pay with my credit card (said the info was invalid). Then, my phone battery died. Now, It says the promo isn't valid. It says my submission has been approved and it's processing gift. But, since I never got to pay anything... I have no clue what is happening.

I ordered mine from Samsung website on the 17th of April. Got the $99 Bundle and both phone and bundle arrived yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] BigSK225:
I registered for the free VR and got approved for the $99 bundle? Can't get through to promotions on the phone. Tried 3 times and stayed on hold 2 hours each time with no one answering. Emailed, no response. Tried online support, took an hour to get a rep and he told me to call the 1-800 number.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] BigSK225:
Promotion is still available for me too....wish I had the extra cash!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] shag_on_e:
I submitted my registry and under check status it shows that I chose the immersive package, but I'm still not approved and have no way to pay. On the Samsung website it says they're sold out did to high demand. I will be seriously bummed if I lose out since I pre ordered the first day and registered the first day I got my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billinaz:
I checked the shop app. There was an option to buy the fully immersive bundle at $99. I bought and it. My card was authorized and I got a confirmation email.

The order shows up as confirmed in my Samsung order page as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Trina9:
I don't see any way this compares to batteries exploding. It sucks but at least you still have your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Greatbape:
I just got off the phone with the rep. I was told as long as you claimed it before it ran out you should be in the clear and just have to wait for the email to pay for it. I claimed mine on the 19th and and have not gotten the option to pay for it yet. The rep pushed my request up to the next left for faster processing, but said I had claimed the 99 bundle while they were available.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RedBaron134:
I hope that is true that if they approved you then your in the clear. I got my email approval two days ago but each time I try to purchase the bundle I get an error stating it couldn't be added to the cart try again later. Probably because they are sold out. Fingers crossed I can still get it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eelton:
I find this frustrating--that they "sold out" of the promotion on the day the phone was released (for those of us picking them up in person anyway).

The headphone/memory card promotion was part of my decision to buy the phone, and it turns out they only have 50,000?! Maybe that was in the fine print somewhere, but it should have been prominently displayed on the promo page--"The first 50,000 customers get this offer."
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FluxionFluff:
If that's true, I'll be totally stoked. :) We'll see when the email links start rolling out. Like you guys, I'll be bummed if that's not the case.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billinaz:
You mean IF.

I registered Wednesday, no email yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billinaz:
750,000 preorders so thats what ... 6%?

Samsung then altered that deal by allowing their preorders to get the promo at the time of preorder. Then they let the carriers choose the date the phones were delivered, further screwing up the possibility of anyone being able to get the promo.

If they had restricted the delivery to opening day, or not allowed themselves the perk of letting those who preorder with them the ability to get the promo ahead of others who ordered on the 30th (you could order form Samsung on the 16th and be guaranteed a promo but if you ordered from a carrier on the 30th you were unlikely to get it).

Well I originally just opted for the free promotion, however, late last night I received an email saying I had been approved for the $99 promo and could check out now, after reading this thread I figured I'd better give it a try, so I did, and it let me check out. I just received the confirmation email, looks like I'll be getting the headphones and SD card too... Sorry to those that somehow got screwed on the promo...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jkwjkw:
fyi, I just got the approval email this morning with link to buy. Was able to successfully buy the $99 bundle. So, hopefully the rest of you will be able to get it too.

Notes:

Purchased phone from Sprint

I registered via website

Applied for promo on 4/18

Samsung said they received it on 4/20

I got approval email (and status update on website) on 4/21

Got email with link to buy on 4/22 @ noon CT

Made successful purchase immediately

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] phatmax:
I opted for the $99 bundle and registered on 21st, status shows resgistration accepted today. Nowhere on status page it shows i opted for $99 bundle or just the vr. Is there anywhere to check which one do they have me for?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billinaz:
I finally got my Links to buy the promo bundle! I sent to the Samsung webpage and it dropped the full price in the cart to the $99 price. I went to the next screen and it said that the promo codes were invalid. What the heck is this? Is Samsung messing with people for fun now?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billinaz:
Not even close to the big point.

The fact they only had 6% of these available was bad enough. The right way to offer it was to allow everyone to try on an equal basis to get them.

Instead Samsung chose to allow those who ordered from Samsung the ability to get the promo at the time of order. The large majority who bought from carriers were forced to wait until the phones were in their hands. Then to make it even worse, Samsung did not force the carriers to release the phone on the same day.

The result is that those who got the phone wednesday had a very high likelihood of getting the promo. Thursday and Friday were out of luck.

If you ordered from Samsung you could order 3 weeks after those who preordered on the 30th and get the promo, bypassing those who have been waiting.

And to make it even worse in several cases, such as mine, I got the link, the correct price appeared in the cart, then went back to full price and now the promo code is invalid.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Greatbape:
So I finally got to pay for my bundle through the app about an hour ago. It appears that as long as you claimed the bundle before it was sold out you should be in the clear.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xenx:
Unless you're me, where every payment method I tried in the app gave an error. Then my battery died. Now I'm locked out of the promotion... Yay! Samsung support is also less than helpful, and that is being kind.

How long did it take for people to get approval email?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xenx:
I just got the approval email today. It took about 57 hours from when I registered to when I got the registration approved email. However, It only took 36-40hrs from registration to when I was actually approved. I registered via the app and checked periodically and had been approved yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jkggg:
I got the email, every time I click the Buy Now button link in the email it comes up with "The item could not be added to the cart". I've tried multiple browsers on the phone and computer and have the same results. I got two of these emails for both phones that I bought and neither work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FluxionFluff:
OMG, I have to resubmit it because the receipt I used was when I picked up the phone. Thought that was the correct one since it also lists that I preordered the phone, but apparently not. Blargh. I have a feeling I'm not getting the bundle. -____-
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billinaz:
I could get it added to the cart, and it dropped the price to the $99.

As I was on the payment screen it went back to the full $500 price.

Going back and trying again only got me a message that the promo code was not valid.

Arrrgh.

Hours and hours on the phone w/ Samsung they just dont care.

After initially hearing from them on facebook they have stopped responding.

Others have started trying to get answers there too. They just ignore it so it goes away.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RedBaron134:
That's more like 400%
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] EJerVJerO:
Well everyone had a fair shot at the $99 bundle. Everyone had a chance to order from Samsung, everyone had a choice which carrier they use (some shipped out earlier but that's a reward to those who joined that carrier, everyone has a choice of where they live near a sorting hub or not, everyone had a chance to hold at sorting facility and pick up early or take time off work, or immediately register seconds after getting phone.

I didn't expect the $99 to last long and I didn't expect to get it but I registered as soon as that phone hit my doorstep.

Samsung is nice to even offer it at the $579 price they could have chosen not to even sell it at all after the promo ran out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MykOne:
Only took me 2 days to get Approval , that was a lot quicker then I expected
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cloudraker:
So, i got the same email stating that my purchase wasnt within the qualifying dates. On Friday, i submitted my receipt because when someone says to me receipt, i think of what i get when i purchase an item. When i preordered, Best Buy emailed me stating it was ordered. So, when i resubmitted, i put both of those in the same file and sent it again. If Samsung denies my Gear VR, ill go to Best Buy and if they wont honor it, ill return the phone. Dont get me wrong, i love the phone and would have gotten it without the promotion BUT if a company wont stand behind what they say, or uses little tricks to get out of honoring a promotion, i wont deal with them. And before people step in and point out that its while supplies last, Samsung knew exactly when they ran out of enough supplies to honor the promotion at which point they should have informed the retailers to remove any promotional information regarding it. When i ordered mine, best buy still had all the signs up. So, one of the two would be at fault.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wacky2bakky:
Just got email back stating I need to resubmit. I sent them pics of the receipts I got when I picked up the phones the 21st. But I pre-ordered both on March 30th. What is it I can send them to show proof to get my headsets?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cloudraker:
I havent received anything stating whether its been approved or not, but im assuming based on that email that they wanted proof it was preordered. I would send them a copy of your preorder confirmation. The sad thing is it says you are only allowed to resubmit once which is what has me concerned. I will say that in my email, in bold letters it stated my purchase did not occur within the offer purchase period. The offer purchase period was up until the 20th and my actual purchase receipt i initially sent was for the 21st as would most peoples be.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
You can appeal after the resubmission and they can turn you down again for a total of 3 rejections. Then you can maybe take them to arbitration depending on how much time and energy you feel like wasting. The departments that handle these promotions are perfectly designed to give you the runaround and wear you out so you give up and go away.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cloudraker:
This made me laugh because i know its exactly how they are trained and how the system is designed. You know, as the consumer we are supposed to have the power, but we dont. People say vote with your pocket book but the fact is, i could never buy another samsung product and they would never notice. I could convince everyone i know to do the same, but again, they would never notice. When you sell several million phones, you could care less about a couple dozen lost sales.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
Luckily Samsung is not even remotely unique and everything they offer can be easily purchased elsewhere. They are not Apple they have plenty of competition with regards to quality , service, and pricing.
