I just updated my S8 and noticed exactly the same problem you described. It did not recognize my face to unlock the phone as well as it did before the update! I kept retrying and then moved into a brighter light and finally it recognized my face and unlocked the phone. Phoohey! The stupid update description said it improves the face recognition... but it made it worse! What a bunch of idiot developers that messed with this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] The Root:
Maybe it changed your face!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] joecool666:
theirs a lot of s8 firmware's being uploaded by SAM firmware.regards Joe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] SptMogul:
i don't have face recognition on so i can't test it but can you remove your face and do the setup all over again to see if it recognizes better?

It's kind of annoying unable to turn off Bixby on the bottom, but I pretty much disabled everything on Bixby -- completely a rip off of Google Now.

I have to now double tap bixby button to have bixby come out. I don't know if it was this update or I did something somewhere to do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Semantics:
I have to double tap mine too. Maybe they did it intentionally so people dont trigger it easily. Not sure.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Infobits:
Hi, I tried removing my previous face capture and set it up new again. It seems to work better now but still more fussy about how you look (glasses on or off) then before the update.

One even more bothersome concern I just noticed last night is that the new update seems to have messed with my Wi-Fi speed. Where I was getting like 7MB to 10MB speeds transferring large files to my NAS servers before, the speeds have now slowed down to a crawl at about 700KB to 1.5MB speed. What have T-Mobile devs done!???? Something has gone terribly wrong with this update. Also it could be my imagination, but the overall responsiveness of the phone seems to have slowed down a bit too. It used to be lightning fast our of the box on the original firmware. Still quick, but just seems a little slower to me.

Also for those that have asked if you need to press the Bixby button twice after the update, No, on my S8, I do not have to press the button twice to call up Bixby after the update. I press it once, it opens the Bixby info screens, I press it again and it closes the Bixby screen now.

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

Has anyone that installed the T-Mobile update experienced drastic slow down in their Wi-Fi connection speeds performing file transfers? I do. My Wi-Fi speeds are messed up now. Transferring large picture files to my NAS servers used to stream along at about 7MB t0 10MB speed. After this update they have dropped to a creeping crawl at 7KB to 1.5MB speed. They messed it up whatever they did.

Sooo.... whats the verdict? Not OTA for now?

Just wondering how this would effect bootloader unlocking or rooting efforts etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] lahazard:
Yes. It started immediately after applying the update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] eduardmc:
I did the update before trying face recognition and im having hard time getting my face detector. Im very disappointed by the feature after all the praise it got on the review. Now i know why... tmobile F...it up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] gotfolk:
This is why I never install updates and just wait for root and do custom rom's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] lahazard:
Just finished speaking with support. It appears to be related to the cache from another installed app, but after applying the update, restart the phone and see if it stops. If not, try restarting the phone again. It did take two times for me to get things corrected. No more messages about DQA. Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] eduardmc:
Why dont i get the cool notification message i see in review. I get old sg7 edge nouga notification for text and other. Not the pop cool little animation i have seen. I even factory reset thinking i did somwthing bad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] s8scottfree:
Yup, I'm getting it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Infobits:
UPDATE to my slow Wi-Fi problem after updating: I searched around for info on Samsung Galaxy slow Wi-Fi issues and came across a site that gave the recommendation to wipe the system cache by booting into the S8 (or S8+) Recovery mode. So I said what the heck, I'll give it a try since maybe the new firmware update had conflicting settings left over from the previous firmware. I booted into Recovery mode and wiped system cache. Rebooted the phone and my Wi-Fi file transfer speeds finally came back up! So hope this helps anyone else that might run into the slow Wi-Fi issue. I am glad I got that issue resolved as I was starting really hate the T-Mobile software update they pushed down on us.

P.S. - Not sure if it was always like this originally, but after the update when I reboot the phone, they've added an extra security step that says your phone is encrypted for security and you must enter your PIN code to continue booting.... ? I don't recall this before the update. Anyone else notice or have this extra step at boot up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] rando191:
I also started getting this (S8+ Verizon) - I ended up booting into recovery mode and clearing the cache partition. So far so good! I was just about to factory reset because I had rebooted the phone like 5 times hoping it would stop lol!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] msburr87:
Same here, so I tried registering a new face and now it keeps saying clean my lense, and won't register my face at all. I'm pissed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Chase79:
I had same problem after update. When I first got the phone, I setup the iris scanner, but stuck with face recognition because it worked so well. The update killed that. I went back in tho and Setup up the iris scanner again like I did before the update, but still tried to use the facial recognition and it seems to be working like before. Not sure why but thought this may help those having the same issue..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] LudoGris:
Rebooted and cleared cache but still getting the issue on AT&T. Wonder what is causing this issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Shgreen:
My s8 is doing it right now Idk why
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] rando191:
Weird, I guess if the reboots and cache clear don't fix it, might be worth factory resetting. Sucks :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] PentiumPowe:
Probably... it sucks that one update can really screw something up might as well sit and wait till Somethin is done unless you wanna factory reset
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] LudoGris:
Oddly enough, I waited it out and it stopped. Not sure why, but don't care as long as it is gone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] got heem:
same here. Ughhh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] zingzongzang:
I just updated my AT&T Galaxy S8 and the error message keeps popping up. I've rebooted 4 times and cleared the cache ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] benjmn31:
For those that this stopped after rebooting how long did it take?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] PentiumPowe:
The problem just stopped happening for me I'm not sure how might just be a case of wait it out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Infobits:
I don't know why some of you have an DQA (whatever that is?) error message popping up every 30 seconds after the update, but I didn't have that on my T-Mobile S8. After I wiped the system cache and rebooted, it seemed to fix the 2 main issues I reported earlier. That is my facial recognition started working more reliably again and my Wi-Fi file transfer speed increased back to the way it was before the update was applied. So this tells me that the recent update does not coimpletely install and reset everything and you SHOULD wipe the system cache to clear out old incompatible settings that may interfere with the new software drivers. As for that DQA error message popping up for some of you, I think it must be related to an app you have installed and I don't have that app installed. Maybe try clearing whatever app's cache and data or uninstalling whatever app it is related to and reinstalling it to see if it goes away.

Bottom line so far for my S8 is that it seems to be operating back to normal after I went into Recovery mode and "Wipe System Cache".

When I did that I saw some messages that it was installing something new... which might have been missing during the T-Mobile automatic update install process. Give it a try.

Wiping your cache does not delete any of your apps or data. It just cleans out old system settings of the previous system related software so that the new updated software will refresh it properly with whatever settings it needs and uses.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] pflugerbird:
I'm on AT&T and I have the same problem about DQA keeps stopping. I restarted a dozen times. Went into recovery mode and wiped the cache and restarted several times and it even appears in safe mode - chatted with tech support - we tried the same things again - still no luck - told to take phone to nearest Best Buy and they would reinstall software for free - ugh! And it was working so well before the update. Double Ugh! I'll post again once I go to Best Buy and see what damage they do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] qwww456:
I got the issue so I just disabled DQA in package disabler and I haven't noticed any issues from disabling it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] flyboyjr:
I'm getting the same DQA error.... :(

This is my first new phone since S5... How do you get to recovery on the S8?

Edit #1...

Never mind, found it with Level Up, Bixby, and Power Button.

When I did this Recovery opened up and came up on a screen "Installing system update"...

I was then able to clear cache.

Hopefully that may be the problem...

Edit #2... Haven't got the error for :10 minutes... I was getting it about every 30 seconds...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kevs888:
I was using bxActions to remap Bixby and I haven't updated it yet.

However, after the first night, Bixby remapping stopped working and would launch Bixby with the button press. After a little searching and posting, I turned off App Power Monitor and Bixby started working again.

Fast forward to this morning, and Bixby remap stopped working again, but I have App Power Monitor still turned off.

Thanks for any insight!

EDIT: bxActions working again this morning by me doing nothing, lol. I'm sure I'm doing something in settings without even knowing...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] DroidDan:
How did you disable it?

What is package disabler?

I am on the phone with Samsung now. They are telling me there was no update today. Perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] zingzongzang:
Very annoying, my phone seems to be running much slower. Not sure if its because of the WiFi signal or the update itself.

Also wondering where its storing the OTA. I hit later. So I hope it doesnt try to sneak past and update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] zingzongzang:
It's my WiFi for sure. My phone runs laggy when WiFi is on but its totally fine on regular data.

This is the fix for the DQA error.

S8/S8+ DQA error fix
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Infobits:
I'm afraid I have to update my findings again... today my Wi-Fi transfer speeds are slow as molasses again. The Wi-Fi slow transfer symptom on my S8 with the update is back again. I have fast 802.11AC MIMO 5Ghz connections. All my other wireless devices transfer the files at a higher speed. This S8 is back to transferring files at a slow 7KB/s to 1.4MB/s where it used to go up to 10MB/s speeds before the update. So I don't know what is affecting the transfer speed sending large picture files from the S8 to my NAS servers.

Update to my last Update: I just figured out that the ES File Explorer app I was using on the S8 was connecting to my NAS servers as "anonymous" userid and using the SMB protocol. When I changed it to logon as a priviledged userid, ES File Explorer then said the NAS server needs to use SMB2 protocol and that I must first install one of their sponsor advertised apps to enable ES Explorer to use SMB2 protocol. So I did that and enabled SMB2 protocol to talk to my NAS servers and the transfer speed increased once again. I am not sure if that was the issue or not because I did see faster file transfer speeds before enabling SMB2 protocol. Anyway, fyi. Just throwing this out there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] SptMogul:
Why do you always transfer files from s8? Do you transfer pictures from s8 and storing it somewhere?

How to fix Galaxy S8 “DQA keeps stopping” error message
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Infobits:
Yes, exactly what I do. I always backup my pictures before anything happens to them (like a microSD card ultimately will glitch out, fail and corrupt some or all files and I lose them)! So I always transfer my files that I want to keep to a NAS server.

The small software update you guys are seeing or about to get fixes the "DQA has stopped" error message that some users were experiencing. It just updates the "Device Quality Agent" application to fix the issue.

Slow charging

Make sure your charger is properly connected. Use charger that came with device.

Nevermind, looks that was a bad outlet.

Never got it to pop up again, but if anyone hasn't got it yet and has the DQA error, here is a link to the update on apkmirror:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] JDM9499:
Is this something we should still update to even though I never experienced the issue? I don't want to not install and update and then wind up experiencing the DQA prob months later. :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] jonup:
This is an error it appeared for many of us after installing the update in the OP. A buddy of mine who got the phone from a T-mobile store already had this update installed. I got my phone 2 days early so i had to install the update myself.

Then, I got the urgent update notice for DQA but I goofed and didn't install it so I kept getting the error message. Luckily someone uploaded the DQA update to apkmirror so I updated from there and my problems are gone.

So if you are not running the latest Samsung software because you are afraid of DQA error fear not. You can get the QDA update from the apkmirror. Hope this is more helpful than confusing! :angel:

You should utilize Google Photos if you don't already know about it. It will automatically back up your photos for you so that you don't manually do it. Free storage too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Infobits:
I know all about that. I don't like putting all my personal pictures out on Google photos or any cloud for that matter. Google collects and has way more info than they need on all of us using Android Google apps. I see that many of my photos were already automatically stored up to the Google cloud without my permission already. So they do have many of my photos. Even if I turn the sync'ing off, they've managed to overtime still collect user's photos from many unaware users setting up their phones or tablets.. until the user turns it off. Google collects so much info on everyone, they probably know what time we sh*t, and where we sh*t and all that. When you put your personal data and info out to anyone's cloud, do you understand that they can look at it all? I don't believe the BS contracts that say they don't look at it. All it takes is a sneaky goof off employee with the right priviledges to snoop all the hard drive cloud data. They see it all. Of course, they will never admit to it. I will put general stuff on the Cloud but I refrain from storing real personal stuff out there. I am an IT Professional myself BTW.

I updated to this new firmware today. After that, I was using the camera on and off to take pictures. I'd take a few pics and exit, put the phone to sleep. Opened the phone, again to take more pics then put it away again. Did this sequence about 5 or 6 times when the next time i took out the S8 to take pics again, the camera app froze and pops up a screen saying Error, the app cannot run while another camera app is in use! But there was no camera app running in the background. I tried closing all tasks and also force stopped the camera app. The camera app still errored out saying same thing. Only after powering off and back on the phone cleared the error and camera app ran again. I have not tried recreating the scenario to see if it locks up again, but will keep an eye on this quirk now. I have a 128gb microSD card installed which always worked without such issue on previous firmware. Since the update mentions SD card fix, maybe something to do with that? So keep a watch out for this quirk.
