I am little worried abt finger print sensor location I still miss the heart rate sensor for taking selfies .

Rather than infinite display, i don't see anything worth an upgrade . Iris scanner is useless on dark places like theater.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kevinjessy:
For me its an upgrade. Very happy with the performance of the phone

I don't think it's worth an upgrade. If you don't own a Samsung or an older device, then yes. But the S7 Edge is totally fine.

I'm liking mine much better than the S7E. The S7E is a terrible phone. Say this as a short lived Note 7 owner first.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] seawolf823:
Absolutely!!! I don't even use the fingerprint scanner. I use the iris scanner and it is damn near as fast as the fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
Well the last (modern) Android phone I owned was the Note 7 and it was MUCH better than the S7E was/could be.

So if this is half what the Note7 was then I say definitely, yes!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Dirtdawg57:
I updated from the S7e to the S8 for the reason that I got the pink screen lines of death twice on my S7 in the year that I had it. Thankfully it was warranty repaired both times because it had no physical damage. But off warranty that is a $350 fix! So once my warranty ran out in March, I was afraid to use it anymore. I sure hope that issue is fixed on the S8, because if you search the web, it was pretty wide spread on the S7e.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] force70:
Me also..well not that the S7E was terrible for me but the screen was way too small.

Very happy to be back on a larger screen.

Finger print sensor is no problem for me and my hands are of average size

It's worth the upgrade from any phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] optimummind:
I think it's a decent upgrade. I've used my GS7E since launch day and I'm ready for a change. I'm just waiting for the unlocked USA model in coral blue to come out. I'm most looking forward to having a new, fresh battery again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] rodrigofd:
My personal (subjective) opinion to all comments above, after a week of S8+ usage:

* HUGE improvement over S7E? Definitely not. I see it more as an incremental upgrade. And, really, 'S7E was a terrible phone?'... any hard facts to sustain that? I couldn't disagree more. S7E is a fine device altogether.

* Better battery life than S7E? Well, so far, it's actually performing lower life for me than the prior phone. However this metric is very tricky to measure, it depends on too many variables, but my 'impression' is that it's not that great. Maybe software needs polishing.

* I'm definitely loving the new form factor/screen size; however, much like with the IPhone 'Plus' editions, being so 'long' makes it hard to use one-handed, and reach the top area of the screen.

* Iris scanner works flawlessly; fingerprint sensor is fine too, but I'm not too happy on the position
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
One question. HOW did you take delivery of the S8+, according to you, on the 13th April??? :rolleyes:

Ryland
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Thefreak312:
No it isnt
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] rodrigofd:
Fair enough, I exaggerated a bit, when I meant 'for a week', read 'this week so far'.

I got it last Monday 17th in the mail.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Viouf:
Im in the same shoes as you mate i have the S7E and still wondering what to do..Get s8+ or wait for note 8... i have no idea . Im a maniac tho for phones but S7E is very good to keep for another year compared to my old S6...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] misiokicio:
it doesn't matter if is worth upgrading over s7e or not... as long as u can afford it.. go for it, i had s7e for a year now, getting s8 plus to replace my s7e for another year win win.. new toy.. always exciting for us big boys haha
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Kash:
Any more thoughts on upgrading from S7E to S8 now there's been over a week of using the S8?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jacob4321:
I had a look @ s8. s8 fell smaller and lighter than s7 edge. the iris scanner is super cool. other than that i couldn't find anything worth mentioning for an upgrade
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Sakitech on Youtube did a side by side evaluation and he agrees with you. I have the S7 edge but bought the S8+. I did that because I am a techno junkie and am still trying to find a 'fix' for the loss of my Note 7's. Hasn't worked out though so will be buying the Note 8 when it appears.

Ryland
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] deano121:
I upgraded from the s7 edge to the s8 and I have been using it as my daily driver and can honestly say its a much better improvement.

fingerprint scanner is a bit of a pain in the arse at the back so I dont use it.

Iris scanner is really fast but you got to make sure you have it in correct position to read you're iris but I have found in bright light it has trouble reading iris but still dam fast at reading them.

Volume on the phone has improved can actually here it really well when getting notifications and on calls for that matter.

I can use it one handed really well with out using one handed mode as it is nice and slick.

screen well with that om screen its just plain beautiful and the edges set it off just right for watching youtube or streaming .

I can go on with more positives but then it would turn in to a review lol

What values are wrong?? target_loads for interactive governor?

Don't worry about it, kernel will chose the closest possible freq, that's the way of how it's work.

Anyone having issues with Android auto? I keep getting an error 7 my cars security doesn't meet the requirements for..... I've reset my phone already and made sure my navigation was up to date.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ack41988:
What kind of car?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hlanclos:
Is it factory or after-market radio? I'm waiting on my S8 to arrive today...Android Auto is one thing I've been wondering about...whether it's going to screw up or not with the new phone. Mine is an after-market (Pioneer).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] physicsguymatt:
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as well. I have the Pioneer AVH-4200NEX and I have come to rely on AA with my S7E, it didn't work at first a while back, but after an (phone) update it works fine. I can't see going without it at this point, very useful. I'll chime in when I get my S8+ (hopefully tomorrow) if I have any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hlanclos:
Same here...that's exactly what I have and I've gotten so used to it, it's a must have for my new phone to work with it! My S8 should be arriving any minute and top of my priority list is connecting it to my car. I'll keep you posted.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Works fine for me. Hyundai with AVN 4.0 (latest) stock head unit. Remember too that if you used Smart Switch to set up your phone you need to uninstall and reinstall all your AA dependent apps. AA doesn't see them for some reason when they're copied vs. installed from scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hlanclos:
It worked flawlessly on my way home from work!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Brandon.gold:
Finally figured it out. Turns out the play services app need updating and wouldn't update unless connected to Wi-Fi. All works now!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] EnCincy:
Also having some issues it seems with android auto, s8, and connection to my car.

I love having new technology but I wish things like this were already hammered out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hlanclos:
Did you try uninstalling Android Auto app? I uninstalled mine then went plug it up in my car and let it prompt me to download everything and allow permissions, etc. I had to put my emergency brake on and go through the whole nine yards, but it worked perfectly once all done.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] EnCincy:
Yes. This was the first step I did. Uninstalled AA, Spotify, and then installed AA. Once done with that I went into android auto and downloaded Spotify. Still not listed as an option. Also tried another USB cord just for good measure.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] physicsguymatt:
Finally got to use android auto this morning. I used a micro USB to USB C adapter I had bought earlier. Everything ran perfectly, I didn't need to install anything, spotify worked, everything so far exactly as before with no hiccups.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] EnCincy:
I had to do this twice to get it working right lol.

But now... Sometimes it tells me Spotify isn't working and has a spinning icon. I have to restart the phone and car to remedy. This has been happening since android 7 came out to update on my devices. S7Edge before and now the S8
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hlanclos:
I hadn't realized it till over the weekend that my iHeart Radio wasn't appearing in my music choice either. I uninstalled and re-installed iHeart Radio app to see if that helped but it didn't. Then suddenly I get in my car this morning and it's working! IDK what the deal is.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martigan:
Greetings all

I've been sideloading fire OS that are not available for standard Android TV. After installing the Amazon app store I've been able to use MOST with hardly any problems. Except for one thing, many apps like NBC work. On playback however they don't fill my screen. Basically it's underscaning I'm aware that Amazon's developer guidelines are slightly different and that's the reason.

I'm curious if there's a way to fix this with a overscan correction in Android Studio or with a third-party app?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciobibubu:
Hi, I have ran into this problem when I installed JDCTeam's AOSP 7.1.2 rom for my I9505. The sound quality of videos is great but when I record Whatsapp or Messenger voice message the volume is really low and can barely hear it. I tried fixing it using the sliders in STweaks but only made the camera volume distorted and had no effect on voice recording in Messenger and Whatsapp. Any ideas?

Thank!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
I believe you can adjust stuff by modifying values in the mixer_paths.xml file.

Don't ask me what to modify or where it is located, I have never done it myself so I have no experience with it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciobibubu:
I looked it up and had the speaker volume or whatever it was called at 70 and people said I should not go over 70 ..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
But you're not looking to increase speaker volume, you're looking to increase the microphone gain and I'm pretty sure there must be some string that controls it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mecdal:
Ss

I think problem is videocall uses bottom mic. Top mic didnt use by whatsapp or etc. Increase mic settings by stweaks wont work.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciobibubu:
I finally tried using mixer_paths but didn't work. Any other ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ridiculousyj:
Hi,

I've had my Tilt for about a month and a half now. I've taken very good care of it (or so i thought) and have never dropped it and actually keep it in a digital camera case when i carry it around.... anyways, the other day i noticed that when i pressed down on the OK softkey on the front of my tilt, it actually had a double-click "ability" just like the camera button on the side of teh device... a softer push on the OK softkey just activates the OK feature.. but if i press down just a little bit harder, the OK key actually activates the End Call feature, i know this b/c i can hear the same beep when pressing down on the OK key that i hear when i press the end call key from the home screen... ive also tried it during a call and it does end the call as well...

anyways, i went down to my local at&t to see if i could get it replaced, well they gave me the number to call since its been over a month... now i came home and started reading about how at&t just sends u a refurb... and with all the random bugs these things can have... im wondering if i should just suck it up and keep the Tilt i have... rather than take the chance with a refurb from at&t. I found numerous posts where people had to send back their refurbs 5 or 6 times until they got one that didnt have some quirky problem...

The button problem hasn't really bothered me or caused any problems, other than the fact that its a 1 and a half month old $400 device....

I would like to get some oppinions from people on what to do in my situation.. is getting an at&t refurb worth the risk? Other than this button thing, my i've had no other problems with my Tilt.

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated...

Thanks much,

Shane
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
So just to confirm... the OK button Ends a call when pressed in fully?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ridiculousyj:
yes, that is exactly right.. so i mean it really only would affect me if i was using the speakerphone and going through menus.. i guess it could accidentally end the call...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ridiculousyj:
no recommendations?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cincy1020:
Hi:

Here is my 2 cents. I had a problem with my Tilt's speaker phone. I called and they sent me a NEW one (not refurb). The new one still had the same problem. Called again, and got another new one (not a refurb). Still had the same problem. I ended up keeping my original phone, because if I was going to be stuck with the bad speakerphone anyway, I figured I'd keep the phone I already have configured to my liking. I may one day call and try another one, since as I said I still have the original problem, but for now am sick of talking to warranty replacement department lol. They are actually pretty nice and helpful, much more so than in other departments, but there is ALWAYS time to wait on hold.

So, nice story, but here's my advice. I honestly don't think AT&T has refurbs yet. I think the phone is so new they are still sending out new replacemt units. At least that was my experience. One of the two replcaements even came in the full retail packaging, so I now have 2 batteries, 2 chargers etc...

I say you have nothing to lose, call them, and have them send you a replacement. If you don't like it/think it's buggy. or simply decide to keep your original, just send them back the replacement. I specifically asked if this was allowed, and they told me that as long as they get back a phone, it doesn't matter which on it is.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ridiculousyj:
thats a great idea, thanks for the background info.. ill def give this a try.. like u said if i dont like the one i get ill just send it back. Thanks again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] photon01:
so i can press the ok key on my tilt and if i press it with the meat of my thumb it will only click once, if i press it with the tip of my thumb (meat and fingernail), i do get the second click from the end key. the windows key does not do this with the talk key. without opening it up i would say its a design issue with the phone, and replacing it wont matter. i wonder if the real kaisers do this? or if its a design change in the tilt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ridiculousyj:
Photon, that is EXACTLY the problem i am having.. literally the way u described it with the thumb/fingernail is just how mine acts.. i wonder if this is indeed a problem that many of the tilts have...?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cincy1020:
I have a Tilt, and I tried to reproduce this, but it didn't seem to do it for me. Of course I should add, I am a female, so my hands are probably much smaller than the gentlemen here :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Wilhelm:
You're probably pressing the End button since they have the same cap.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sWuRv:
Yeah I never really had a problem with it, but mine does the same thing. Just try to press the bottom of the ok button. It only seems to happen when I press it near the top. Whenever I end up opening my tilt I will rig it, but I'm not gonna open it just to fix this small issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mikulec:
I just realize that mine does the same thing.But I need to pres it with a really heavy preasure so its not gona happen by accident. Look like you guys are little bit stronger with your fingers :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ridiculousyj:
just wanted to say thanks again to everyone else thats replied.. it seems like this is indeed somewhat of a common problem, but like a few of you have said.. i prob just noticed it b/c i just happen to push down really hard on it one time, and ever since then its just bothered me... anyways, i do appreciate everyones replys/comments.

Thanks!

Completed my registration, chose to do the $99 set, it marks my registration as approved, then lists a button to "buy now" due to limited supplies.

Button doesn't work, it isn't even linked to anything, cannot get back to this page any other way. Site says i will get an email with the link to buy for reference, haven't gotten that either.

On hold for samsung now, but I assume they are getting demolished, cause the hold times are unreal.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] FokenNewbee:
Yep...same here. Were you able to get through? If so, what did they say?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] nosympathy:
Not yet, just left the call going while doing other stuff, 1 hour and 33 mins waiting so far. If I ever get through before i give up, I'll post what I find out.

at least it isn't just me. I hope this doesn't mean it sold out already somehow tho. I'll be super pissed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] raptoro07:
I had the same thing happen. Went to email confirmation and clicked on the link in the email to purchase and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] nosympathy:
Answer:

The server/website part that handles the $99 deal crashed, they noted my account of what happened (so I dont get screwed I guess, we'll see) and told me to call back tomorrow as they don't believe it'll be fixed tonight.

They do not have an answer on how to get back to that page or if the email will be sent as their page advised, but said they have steps they can take if called to resolve.

So I guess I will be giving them a call tomorrow morning to see where they are at.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] nosympathy:
You are lucky, I have not gotten the email and it's been nearly 2 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] jkwjkw:
I just completed the online form. Looks like you have to wait for manual approval on their side before the email with purchase link will be sent to you.

When I clicked on check status,. it said "Please allow 24 hours after submitting for your submission status to be available with your email address."
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] enkrypt3d:
yea same here =\
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] nosympathy:
Did they change it since earlier? Others were able to click the pay now button.

This is what that page said for me, leaving it up for "proof" to samsung if needed.

"Thank you for your registration. You're approved.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] nosympathy:
Called them earlier since I'm working and can just leave the phone muted waiting. 2 hours on hold now total. First bit was a waste of time. As an FYI for anyone else that calls in, you have to tell their system you want the promotions department. No one else can help supposedly.
