Handling Lag/Stutter - do this at your own risk

I played around enough with this tablet today to say that I've observed noticeable lag/micro stutter while doing simple tasks like navigating , opening apps etc. So i immediately rooted myself (thanks [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]) and installed greenify , hit enabled greenyfying system apps (see attachment). I've also disabled some pre-built apps as well (see attachment). And I've also changed the animation speeds so it felt a bit snappier(See attachment). I am pretty sure this tab will fly when custom roms pop up but until then these will help me and hopefully others.

Samsung accessories discount [i have no idea if this is just for us but its always worth the shot]

Its strange nobody talked about it so i do not know if this is new but open samsung+ application and register your device. You will get an email to your email (to which your Samsung account is affiliated) providing a code which you can use to get 50% off of accessories costing 69$ or less (see attachment).

Cheers.

I was part of the T-Mobile S8 preorder and decided to make this. We can discuss the gear VR and shipping around it. Has everyone submitted their order and how did you submit it? I did it with the Samsung Shop app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mlock420:
You know what sucks?.....the fact that I rushed an upload of my receipt in a form of a pdf from tmobiles site to Samsung's promotion site Realizing that it was my old s7e receipt.... now it's processing and Samsung's customer service is backed up from flooded calls...i did not have the patience of waiting 2 hours, sad thing is I probably did because I fell asleep and woke up with that stupid ass song playing while they got me on hold through the speaker phone....looks like I won't get a free gear vr because of my stupidity.......yep pretty much? and yes I used shop app

I submitted the request via the website.

I have to provide further proof because the screenshot I posted from MyT-mobile was apparently missing the order date, which I now did. But I am happy to see that my request was reviewed within 14 hours of submission. Perhaps Samsung is putting serious resources into this review process.

Mine was processed and approved, just waiting on shipping.

Oh. And before anyone asks...once you make your selection of what gift you want (the $99 bundle or the free Gear VR) you CANNOT and I repeat CANNOT change it. Choose wisely.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbieonekenobi:
Hello All,

I just successfully rooted my kindle fire hd 7" the other day and installed cyanogenmod 13 via TWRP. Everything went great and it ran smoothly but i had some trouble with some of the apps I installed so i decided to factory reset the device. After which when the device has reset, i get stuck on teamwin logo and cant access the recovery console anymore. It just keeps flashing the teamwin logo every 3-5 seconds. I can't do anything with the device because my computer doesn't recognize the device anymore. I've tried reinstalling all the drivers but it didn't change a thing. I've tried several of tutorials about the issue online but none of them have been successful. I'm newbie to rooted phones so please be specific if in case any of you have any solutions. Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Well depends

If your carrier offers specifics features like VoLte or wifi calling and the CSC you use do not...then you will not have them

Also you will have the installed CSC OTA´s not your country carrier OTA

Other than that the phone will work just fine

[HTC Excalibur] kbhasin:
I have the dash flashed to the Rogers wm6 ROM which is about 10x smoother/faster than the Tmoboile wm6...

But anyway, one thing i always hated with the tmobile was that if i was type alpha characters to find contact to dial, during my query, it would Automatically popup with (see below, dont know how to take a screenshot):

Dialer (Title)

Confirm

--------------------------------

Dial XXX at (yyy) - yyy-yyyy?

--------------------------------

Yes | No |

--------------------------------

How do i disable this? its really annoying because 99% of the time, the name that its asking to dial is incorrect and usually the same, ...ex. ill type the letters S A R for sarah, as soon as i see sarah in the list, this damn auto thing comes up saying (before i get the chance to select), Dial Chris at (xxx) -xxx-xxxx?

I was hoping this would go away with the rogers wm6, but alas it has not..

thanks for any help.
[HTC Excalibur] montai_hotmail:
sim number

It try to dial number in sim card. example if you type ra, it also mean 3#. (dial number location 3 in sim). I solve it by delete all numbers in Sim card. Hope this help.
[HTC Excalibur] kbhasin:
Ah that makes sense, is there any way to disable that without deleting my SIM contacts and using phone mem?
[HTC Excalibur] SirKeats:
i don't have this problem and i have all my contacts backed up on the sim.

i don't know the solution... but just wanted to point out that i don't think you should have to delete all your sim contacts to fix. unless it has something to do with you ONLY having your contacts on your sim. i use the phone for my contacts and just have everything on the sim for backup only.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Outbreak444:
Anyone put this on their screen? I ordered one from Amazon, states it's case friendly but definitely covers the whole screen. I use it on my S7 Edge and never had this problem. Using the same case between phones as well, Spigen Tough Armor.

Contacted the company but I'm worried that the new "case friendly" versions may not have a wide selection of cases they'll fit, so I figured I'd ask around and see if anyone else ran into the same problem before I get another one sent to me.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Iskateforfree:
I used the Armor suit screen protector and it's 98% friendly if that makes sense. It fits with my Spigen Neo Hybrid but I do get a little bubble at the top right hand corner that I usually just press down when it appears. Overall, it's good enough for me not to rip off the phone haha
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Outbreak444:
That's good to hear, I guess they must have sent me the wrong size because the case wouldn't fit at all, the edges were coming up along the sides completely. They replied to my email and are sending me two case friendly versions for free to try so hopefully they work out this time. If not I'll be trying a TGSP because they seem to be better for the S8/+ than they were for the S7 Edge.

Hey!

Got my S8 today and have problem adding accounts to my Huawei Watch.

When going to the Play Store on the watch (Wear 2.0) it says something like "tap to add account from your phone". This brings up the Android Wear app on the phone.

A thing starts spinning but the accounts never appear and it just keeps spinning. This means I cannot select which accounts to add to the watch.

Any suggestions? Problem with the S8 or have anyone experienced it before with another device? Can't find any information and I have never had any troubles with my Z3+.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JSTRANDT:
I had same issue and tried everything I could think of, but finally got it to work.

Here what I did hope it helps!

1. On watch: Settings --> System --> Disconnect & Reset

2. On phone in Android Wear app: Settings gear icon top right corner --> under device settings header select watch (mine was Huawei watch) --> at bottom select unpair watch

3. On phone: Go to phone settings --> apps --> for Galaxy S8/S8+ go to app manager next --> select Android Wear from list --> clear cache --> clear data --> hit back button (still in Android

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

4. On phone: find/select Google play services in app list --> Galaxy s8/s8+ select storage --> clear cache --> manage storage --> clear all data --> back button 3 times to get back to app list

5. On phone: find/select Google app in app list --> storage --> clear cache --> manage storage --> clear all data --> close app manage and go back to phone home screen

6. On phone: open Google play store --> my apps & games --> select update all (this can take a long time if you have a lot of updates listed)

7. On phone: Once updates are done search for Android Wear in play store and install and waiting for install to finish

8. On phone: open Android Wear which should bring you initial screen.

9. Watch should be fully rebooted and at the tap here to start screen --> start pairing process

That's it! It then took me to copy account screen next after hitting ok on pop up to confirm pairing code was same on watch and phone. It finally listed my Google account and I followed the prompts to set it up successfully.

A couple of notes:

- I have 2 Google accounts on my phone. One is a personal Gmail account and the other is a work Gmail account that uses Google Device Policy. Only my personal Gmail account showed up as an account to copy to watch since Google Device policy app doesn't allow work account to be copied.

-I have a Samsung Galaxy s8+ and Huawei Watch Gen 1 so don't know if this works for other phone/watch combos

YAY I get to dust off my XDA account and make a post. :)

So I got my t-mobile S8+ SM-G955u yesterday. I use Google voice for visual voicemail and so on. Setting up the app should be straight forward as usual but calls are not forwarded to Google Voice. They go to the default T-Mobile voicemail.

Looking a little deeper I noticed in the phone app the voicemail settings is grayed out. Service provider simply has the one option "voicemail" . Odd

So I call T-Mobile and they tell me it's a Samsung issue that I don't have access to the voicemail settings. Samsung support says it's T-Mobile whom must unlock this option. WTF?

I suppose the question I have here is. Anyone else have a T-Mobile variant with the same issue? Is this a Gvoice problem or did T-mobile really lock this down to force users to use the T-Mobile visual voicemail app?

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] razorseal:
I can't even find the voicemail setting!? Where is it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Cab121:
In the "phone" app click the menu button in the top right (three dots). Then select settings. Scrollall the way down. There is a catagory listed as "voicemail" . Directly under the catagory label there are some options. Service provider is click able but only one option available. Under that Voicemail Settings are grayed out.

Still can't get Google voice to work. Sucks I like the free visual voice mail.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] razorseal:
ah... Was looking in the settings. I don't even see google voice as an option. It's not greyed out for me, but the only vmail service provider is "my carrier". I do have google voice installed...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gzrecoil:
Weird! Same with me, but the voicemails are definitely going to google voice and delivered via hangouts (WHICH I ALWAYS HAVE TO FORCE CLOSE AND REOPEN ANY TIME I WANT TO LISTEN TO A VOICEMAIL. DRIVES ME INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Edit: I got a dup notification in google voice app... I guess I'll see if I can disable hangouts for voicemail and just use the refreshed voice app and hangouts for texting, at least until they axe google voice in hangouts. I want them to switch google voice to allo anyway, much more lightweight.

Edit 2: Looks like there is no way to block voicemail in hangouts and only get it in voice app... if anyone knows a way, please share?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dansan382:
