[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jemand222:
I don't know why Samsung made the onscreen home button working even if you don't press it and just touch it. So is it possible to "disable" the home-button when I just touch it and make it only work if I press it hard so it gives the force feedback?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ElBeaner:
You can increase the sensativity of the hard press so it always acts as a press so you know

Go to settings - display - nav buttons and move the slider to more sensative
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] keemyb:
That's only for a hard press, so when locked, or in full screen for example. I don't think we can disable soft presses generally yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jemand222:
ElBeaner: Thanks for your help but thats not what I wanted.

I thought that there is no normal touch on the home button when all the reports came about the new force touch button. I was expecting that Samsung replaced the old button with the force feedback one. But they just added normal on screen buttons like they are on 100s of other android phones. And I really don't see no need for the force feedback button because all it does you can also do with touching the button and not pressing it.

It would be great if Samsung changes the behaviour so that only a real press on the home button is working and not the touch.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
Wait so you want the on screen button to only work when its pressed hard? :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Skander1998:
Yes, I would actually prefer it if that was an option.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
And what phones have soft buttons that only work as hard buttons? Zero, stick to phones with physical buttons instead rather than hoping for an imaginary feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] The Phone Company:
Actually I like the idea of pressure on the button as an option. We know it could be done if programmed right as the ability is right there, pressure sensitivity is built in under the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Linked Devices:
This would be such a great idea. One of the reasons I hate onscreen buttons so much is that it's so easy to accidentally miss the space bar and tap the home button instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] m3lover1:
Silly indeed
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Moostafa29:
I'd actually prefer this too. It's weird that their whole promotion was around a pressure sensitive home button, but the way they set it up, it literally has no purpose.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
You can press it to wake the phone up, you can press it to go home if you're watching a full screen movie or playing a game and the onscreen buttons aren't shown... ya i guess it's useless.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jhericurls:
Interesting topic. So why has Samsung included a hard press home button? It doesn't​ do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ex-28:
i would also prefer this , im in the same boat , useing messages app , and having the floating buttons show up is anoying
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hambubger:
I'm pretty sure this is how the iPhone 7 home button works. It is not a physical button but a pressure sensitive area where the button used to be. Different actions for different amounts of pressure.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jemand222:
It would be great to have the whole display everytime and if you need the back button and the task manager button you could swipe them up (like on fullscreen apps) and you have always the sensitive home button. That would be 1cm more screen and no accidental clicks on the home button.

I guess that it has a reason why Samsung built a button but doesn't use it for real. And I found one possible reason: If you touch the display above the button and slide your finger to the center of the button you can't press it. You have to hit the button directly to press it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
Its been like this since forever on any nexus/pixel devices, get used to it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mydan:
I agree with the original poster. With the soft touch intact, what is the purpose of the hard press? You can't get to a hard touch without a soft touch so it is pointless, also, I use immersive mode so if I swipe up the nav bar, invariably it's from the centre so I accidentally trigger the home key.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] otonieru:
Hard press (3D touch) is to make you always able to go home even when navbar is not present,

As for the rest of situation, soft press is more than enough to serve the function

So I dont really think enable only the hard press is actually a good idea.

Probably not much, especially if your not tweaking it a bit. Once a device "matures" like ours is getting, you learn a lot of these little tweaks don't really matter much.

Of course, it all depends what you are trying to accomplish.

I managed to flash AOSPA rom , but with results [1.00000] , and its stuck on "your phone is booting now.."

Please any sugesstion or idea how i could fix this it's warmly welcomed .
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] bokspro:
How to fix: 1. Create in sd card folder: dload

2. Extract update.zip(Use marshmallow ota update zip not Nougat!!!!)

3. Copy UPDATE.app to dload folder

4. When phone is off, hold all 3 buttons: volume +, volume -, and power button

5. After that proccess finishes, power off phone and hold volume + and power button at the same time.

6. Now select factory reset!

7. Done!!!!

I sent the phone into service , and they fixed it . They sent it today back with a courier , maybe tommorrow i'm gonna have it back , hopefully .

Thanks again for the reply ,hope it helps some xda users who also bricked they'r phones like me .

It sounds like your OEMINFO has a problem or there was a "virus" in the system that corrupted the drive.

Anyway, i'm glad the service fixed your phone :D

[Device Repair] RogerClark:
I have an unlocked Motorola moto g2, with unlocked bootloader, TWRP installed and rooted stock Android Kitkat.

The battery went completely flat while I was on a road trip, and when I tried to charge it up, it just slows the unlocked bootloader screen, vibrates and then reboots.

I can enter the initial recovery selection screen, but if I select recovery to run TWRP it also just hangs on the splash screen

I've read that the problem could be the battery is too flat, so I took the phone to pieces, and detached the battery connector, and charged the battery to 4.2 V using a regulated external supply.

However, it still doesnt work with a fully charged battery, TWRP still hangs.

I can access the device via fastboot, and tried to reflash the latest version of TWRP, but it didnt seem to help and I'm not even sure if fastboot actually uploaded the latest TWRP as the splash screen, where it hangs, didn't seem to change.

I do not really want to have to completely clear the rom, as I'd loose a load of photos from the road trip, but I've run out of ideas on how to recover the phone.

BTW. It doesnt run up enough to give me adb access.

Can anyone suggest anything else I can try.
[Device Repair] Droidriven:
It sounds to me like you either wiped out the OS somehow or you lost recovery.

Try flashing the latest version of TWRP for your specific model number, then boot to TWRP and wipe only the cache and Dalvik/ART cache, do not factory reset and then try rebooting.

[Device Repair] RogerClark:
Thanks for the reply

I did try reflashing TWRP using fastboot, but TWRP seems to hang on the splash screen.

But I'm not convinced that fastboot actually installed the new version of TWRP I was trying to flash, as I tried flashing TWRP 3.0.2 , and the splash screen that I see looks like an older version.

So I'll try reflashing TWRP again.
[Device Repair] RogerClark:
I reflashed the latest TWRP onto the phone (moto g2 XT1068) using fastboot, and now when I enter recovery I see the latest TRWP splash, for the version I just flashed, (3.1.0.0) however TWRP still hangs on the splash screen :(
[Device Repair] Droidriven:
Hmm....seems you might have to fastboot flash the boot.img or system.img from whatever you had when this happened.
[Device Repair] RogerClark:
Umm.

I can't find the TWRP files backup, but there appear to be plenty of original Kitkat stock roms posted to this forum, so I may as well try using boot.img etc from one of them.
[Device Repair] Droidriven:
Not sure that will work. I suggest doing some searching first.

[Device Repair] RogerClark:
[SOLVED - ALTERNATIVE] Moto G2 bricked - boot loop

I found a boot.img for the phone (XT1068) and tried flashing, but it didn't help

So I then tried flashing the entire stock ROM (using fastboot), but it didn't make any difference.

So I erased all the partitions and reflashed the stock ROM again, and initially I got the broken Android robot screen, but I rebooted it and amazingly Android fired up as if it was a brand new device

I have of course lost all the user data, photos, texts etc, but at least the phone is working again.

In case anyone else has the same problem, I'd probably recommend just trying to erase the cache and try booting and if that failed, try erasing the userdata, as I think the issue was possibly data corruption in one of both of these

I was lucky to find a ROM

http://download1400.mediafire.com/2...L++RETAIL+KXB21.85-14+EARLIEST-by-Reefuge.zip

As most of the links I found to ROMs were old and broken or files had been removed or deleted from the servers :(

Now that the phone is back with a locked bootloader it is actually updating to Android 5, and I think there is even an official version of Marshmallow for the Moto G2

Anyway, thanks again.... Its a shame I couldn't get my data back, but at least I have the phone working again.

Edit.

In case anyone wants a list of the fastboot commands I used... Here they are..

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase preinstall

mfastboot.exe oem lock begin

mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img

@Droidriven can you please help me.

I have a moto g2 (xt1072) I can’t flash the recovery with fastboot but I can boot into twrp with fastboot , the problem is that I cannot wipe internal storage and also I cannot modify anything in twrp like for example when I try to change the filesystem of data from f2fs to ext4 it says succeed but nothing changed at all , also I cannot flash any rom (tried over 5or6 roms) it gives me error 7.

Hope you help me out I really need that phone.
[Device Repair] Droidriven:
Seems to me that your bootloader is locked because TWRP can be booted via fastboot with a locked bootloader but TWRP can not be flashed via fastboot if the bootloader is locked.

Error 7 when flashing ROMs typically means the ROM is not for your specific model number or it means you are attempting to flash a custom ROM via stock recovery or you are attempting to flash a stock based ROM via custom recovery.
[Device Repair] unknowman292:
No the bootloader is unlocked and any rom I tried to flash with twrp I get error 7 and also I cannot even flash the stock rom using fastboot, I don’t know what’s the problem , also when I wipe every partition in twrp it says successfully but the files stays the same, hope anyone can help me out.

Hello fellow XDA members,

In the past I started some threads regarding Samsung AMOLED display quality, especially for the Note devices.

Please see here if you are interessted:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4/general/note4-amoled-screen-quality-t2906365

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2463786

Now, with the S8+ (and the S8, the problem is the same), even the media recognized the display problems, known as "red tint", just google for it!

Samsung tells the people that this is due to wrong settings, and/or the adaptive display setting turned on! THIS IS NOT THE CASE!!!

I got 2 pieces of S8+ today, and both displays are not OK. One screen has the red tint issue, but only on the upper half of the screen.

The other device has no red tint, but is generally darker and looks more "washed out" and has a slight yellow tint.

So again the display lottery is back, it is only "luck of the draw" if you get a decent screen or not!!!

If you do not believe me just compare a few devices beneath each other with the exact same display settings. Turn adaptive display off, then go into the dialer and type *#0*#, with this you ensure the brightness settings are the same and you have the same sceen content on both devices. You will notice that every single device has a different screen quality (tint, evenness, ...)

What do you say? Acceptable or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mlock420:
With all of us over at the tmobile shipping thread we've been waiting and crying and hoping that we get our devices early....and then when we finally got our devices ****ty things like red tint leaves a sour taste in our mouths..sad really, samsung already made this device feel rushed with all the Bixby and fingerprint scanner awkward positioning and what did we do after the note 7 debacle? We forgave these fools...and now this?....i do feel bad for those that actually paid full retail price for these expensive devices and to unbox and realize the screen is pink...that right there is not how to say forgive us for our mistakes instead a huge f u to all the customers who were unlucky enough to get such a horrible display color....but I will say I won the lottery because out of the box my s8plus came out nice no red pinkish tint whites are white...but why am I still pissed? Because my note 4 was the same whites were white and then after a year or so my eyes were fixed on a strange color that was taking up half of the screen that came out of nowhere...so yes I will be forever paranoid with sammys displays now....if my s8plus came in like that I don't think I would've came back....but then again I'm here lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cantenna:
Settle down guys, this will likely be fixed with a future fw given the attention its gotten, this is pretty simple for samsung to fix actually, all samsung needs to do is what video games have been doing for years; offer the user an option to calibrate based a sample image. Once thats in, the presets can be established based off of those generated values from the user selection.

It seems like they will indeed need to implement a fix of this sorts, because it does seem the displays hue varys from device to device.

Anyways, for the most part, I hardly notice it and it seems even, and the more I look at it, the more i can't make sense out of it? Seems to play tricks on my eyes... lol.

Beautiful phone and display though!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TML1504:
This is a hardware problem, a real software fix IS NOT POSSIBLE!!!

Samsung can only try to cammo the problem with increasing the range of the color-sliders in the display settings, so that you can turn down red more then now. But this wont fix that the red tint is NOT EVEN ACROSS THE DISPLAY!!

What else proves that this is a hardware error is that if you put 5 devices next to each other (with the exact same settings), each of them will look different in regard to screen quality! Believe me, I know what I'm talking about, see my previous threads regarding that!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cantenna:
I agree that it should be even otherwise you may have a hardware problem but my concern is your criticism has more to do with amoled in gerneral and what we are observing is a consequence of the tech used. Samsung is also pushing the boundries here too with the display tech so the norms for amoled to compare to may not even apply anymore. And your comment to my comment regarding masking the problem, there is a reason why every display on the planet has picture settings.. right? No 2 displays are exactly the same...

I just went through the crap with my Surface Pro 4 too, trust me, they are a good example of no 2 displays alike, must have went though at least 11 Surface Pro 4 on my mission for perfection display and I had to give up in the end because truth is, its still an awesome device!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ingenious247:
Absolutely unacceptable reasoning. They shouldn't be putting out a product if the "early batches" are DEFECTIVE

Obviously it's a QC problem, which they seem to have some fairly big issues with, over and over.. They will lose customer faith if they keep doing this ****

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GibMcFragger:
I was in the Samsung store yesterday for the launch party. They had 3 S8+ on display next to eachother. Each was running the exact same retail mode, showing the exact same content at the exact same time.

One display was white, one was red hued, and one was pee yellow.

(No, it wasn't display calibration settings, I checked).

There are definitely quality control issues.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Crazy CS:
Something slightly different this year is there seems to be a pink tinge on all four sides of the display (top, bottom, left and right). It's a very consistent along the sides of the screen and very noticeable, a few people here have also noticed it: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/help/red-tint-screen-t3592335

So it's not just another pink/yellow/blue/green spotty tinge problem, theres now uniformity with the example i've provided.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
I've got the S8+ and the screen is not red at all. The left and right edges if anything have a slight blueish tone to them but I believe this to be the effect of the screen curving to the sides distorting the colour (Colour shift?).

Unless you have bought one and have the problem with it, you have no right to complain.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GibMcFragger:
Mine had a very slight pink tinge when I got it, at the very top and bottom (maybe half the status bar thickness), and it's since gone way.

The over all display color was a little too warm for my liking, so I knocked the red slider down to half, and now it's fine.
