[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
I used BK Package Disabler on the Google Play Store. It was $1.49. Completely disabled Bixby and used All In One Actions to remap the Bixby button to launch Google Now. Works perfectly!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dr. Fed:
Did you take any software updates yet since getting the phone? I'm just curious if BK Disabler will still work properly after taking the update that killed the Bixby button remap.

I was using BxActions to remap the button, but I knowingly took the update (TMobile) anyhow. It would be nice to disable Bixby completely, maybe this Disabler you used is the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
I think the phone downloaded an update during setup but so far I'm good to go. Maybe those updates are Carrier-specific? I'm on Verizon. If my Bixby button remap gets killed I'll let everyone know.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] IvanIlyich:
The BK Package Disabler still works on my Verizon S8+, even after today's update. I don't know about the key mapper.

I bought PD Pro this AM and tried disabling Bixby Vision. It made the camera crash every time I opened it. I restored it ok. Now I am going to try the "use it once" method that I missed the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rotorocker:
What about disabling the popup when you go to view photos in the gallery? That still seems to have the popup, even after using it once.

Disable Bixby Vision Pop-up In Camera

Delete this foler by rootexplorer /system -app - VisionIntelligence
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DarK_DemoN:
I'm not sure how, but I'm no longer getting the popup. Been at least 4 days since I last had it when opening the camera app. Never actually tried out the feature either. Maybe it just stops after so long? I'm not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheBeeze:
If you go through the prompt to start the bixby vision you're then agreeing to all their sharing terms which I don't want to do.

Additionally it's bringing up this little dot on every picture in my gallery and if you click the dot it wants to launch the bixby thing again. This is soooo annoying

Dangit, is there a way to remove it without agreeing to share data( launching Bixby requiring sharing with inrix 4square and uber?!)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] xgman:
Thx for the camera tip. Bixby is really invasive. I hate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] matthew33:
It's VERY easy to disable the popup.

Long press anywhere on the homescreen, then swipe left and you will see a little slider to turn bixby on/off.

Just select OFF and voila.....no more annoying bixby popup in the camera app!!

press thanks If I helped:D

use titanium backup to freeze bixby home and bixby vision, that git rid ofbit for me!

That's cool....if you have root.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] punkinpea:
;)Oddly enough, after hours of searching how to get the Bixby app out of my camera..... I asked Bixby to do it and voila! It worked! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] daylight95:
This 100 percent fixed it for me. Totally removed the Icon and weird animation from Camera and Gallery. No more Eye icons for me! Thanks dude.

Thank you Matt. A simple answer and solution to this crazy thing. The prompt that kept coming up every time I went to take a photo was driving me nuts. The on/off toggle us on a screen to the left of the home screen as you

You don't need root to disable apps
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pierremaximiliano:
What did you use to disable Bixby, and what happens now when you accidentally hit that button :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] wmpf:
For me it didn't work. I activated bixby, updated Bixby to the newest version, started bixby vision, deactivated bixby, the annoying "bixby vision/sticker" in the camera is still there. Samsung S8+

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

I only found "BK package Manager" and "Package disabler Pro+" Both apps could disable Bixby, but the Text in the camera ("Bixby vision/ Sticker") is still there, now without any function. Any other Ideas (I don't have root and I don't want to make it)?

Help would be appreciated very much, I get crazy, about this f...g bixby in the camera.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] da_committee:
My S8 Plus should arrive any moment now but I am thinking about rejecting the package and cancelling the order. I have rooted my last 3 phones and the thought about having a such an expensive phone without TWRP and root is making me have second thoughts. My 6P works amazing with Resurrection Remix ROM, ElementalX Kernel w/butterfly governor profile, and I love not having to deal with YouTube Ads thanks to the modified YouTube app I flashed on it (thanks XDA). The S8 Plus is a beautiful device but I feel like I would be going backwards in terms of functionality... Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Well I cancelled mine after preordered. Because I want to see if the international varients have unlocked Bootloader...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] courtmagician:
I got an LG V20 before it was rooted and I enjoyed (briefly) the experience of no root and Android Pay but once root came out (well, a couple of weeks after), I caved in and rooted. I decided to take my chances with this phone as there's only a short list of reasons to root (and without Xposed, there's little reason to want root). Only thing I really miss would be Titanium Backup but I'm finding work arounds for my other issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] da_committee:
Any workaround you can share for no root ad blocking on Youtube?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mweinbach:
yah, buy Youtube red. Its a very good service.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] courtmagician:
This is where each person's experience is different, I subscribe to Google Play Music and so YouTube Red comes in the package and I don't see ads. Admittedly I'm now back to seeing ads in all my apps, one forgets how many ads there are until you don't have an ad blocker...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] da_committee:
Thanks for the insight Captain Obvious. I am sure all of those on XDA that have xposed and and a patched version of Youtube on their phones don't know about YouTube red as well.

Hey folks,

Hoping anyone who received the sim free version of the Galaxy S8 Plus post can the Region code/CSC information.

Model SM-G955F

PDA Version G955F***

CSC Version G955F***

PHONE Version G955F****

Region: ***

Like that, it might give me the ability to download the firmware from Samsung direction.

I have redmi note 4x but it says redmi note 4 in the about page is that normal any difference between redmi note 4x rom and Redmi note 4 rom?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Sachin:
You sure you've bought the redmi-note-4x??

Or just open CPU - Z app, and check the SoC, if it's SD625 then both Redmi-note-4 [Indian SD version] & 4X are same, Roms are compatible.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] PriPhaze:
You could have got the Global version of the Note 4X that's why it doesn't show the "X" but is has the same hardware as the 4X with more radio bands.

i cant seem to find any guides on it, but maybe you know one. thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] nicks.1106:
Sorry.... Redmi note 4x is Qualcomm snapdragon variant not the MTK variant...

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

Don't worry both are same.... So it doesn't matter 4x or 4....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Borat38:
This guide has everything you need to know.

You'll have to unlock the bootloader (by downloading the MiFlash Unlock tool — link in page), then download the Global ROM version (link in the "B. Fastboot Flashing Method" section)

Then install Xiaomi USB driver and use the MiFLash Tool (not the same as MiFlash Unlock Tool above) to flash the ROM you downloaded

I put lineage 14.1 on my phone today , worked great , then I decided to factory reset the phone , now the phone constantly goes into a recovery boot loop back to TWRP , I am told that the new version of TWRP will fix this , I can find the image version of TWRP but not the .ZIP version....

Please advise how best to update my k3-50 phone to the latest version of twrp , I did try copying across the Twrp image file to my sd card , but twrp does not see the file as a Install file....help please.

Help I have even managed to install 3.1 for twrp , but still my phone is in constant loop back to twrp , I have tried to reinstall roms , it says it has installed correctly , but each time , reboots to twrp..........any way around this , maybe sideload a old rom to remove twrp or something along those lines.....help please...
[K3 Note General] g33k0:
Had the same problem with another ROM some time ago.

The only thing that worked for me:

-Flash Stock-ROM through SPFlashTool

-Flash TWRP through SPFlashTool

-Reboot to TWRP

-Take a nandroid backup

-Wipe and install a new Custom-ROM.

head to here and see if it works for you, but remember as with any windows OS you must reboot for the changes to take effect so after you adjust the registry then do a soft reset or it wont work!

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_intp:
I will admit I was ill prepared and somehow broke my phone.

I was trying to flash Emotion to my Note 4. I now realize that I wasn't supposed to do this as Emotion does not support my trlteduoszh version of the note. As it stands I can recovery boot into TWRP but I cannot boot into android. When I try to do a regular boot it flashes the samsung screen then with a short vibration the phone turns off. Which I then have to pull the battery to get it to turn on again.

If anyone has any suggestions as how to go about fixing this issue I would be most grateful.

Case

I would suggest a case, because accidents happen and yo want to make sure that you device doesn't damage.

Whenever I buy a phone, first things I do is buy a case and screen protector.

I like to use a magnetic mount in the car, so I had to get a thin case off of amazon to hold the metal disc. I normally like dbrand skins, but without being able to hide the disc under the battery cover like I did on the LG V20, I'm forced into using a case. It doesn't add too much thickness, so I'm ok with it.

Those of you going naked be very careful with it. My Note 7 got scratched up fairly quickly on the back. Gorilla Glass 5 is more shatter resistant but easier to scratch.

Yea I saw a Youtube video saying their S8 already got scratched, too.

I'm rockin a Ringke SLIM case. Extra thin with a grippy rubber-type coating. The case covers all the sides but doesn't get in the way of edge touches. Just wished they made the USB-C hole fitted to the port instead of a big square opening.

You don't need a magnetic strip for this phone. the wireless charger equipment in the phone is magnetic, so no need.

Crazy how society has devolved into the fear of micro-scratches on a phone used everyday.

Scratches will happen, the only question is will you let it bug you?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zeal415:
100% case no question about it. This phone looks sexy, but it a huge fingerprint magnet, making it looking ugly. I went with the Otterbox Strada, it feels so good in the hand to unlcok the phone with fingerprint scanner & flip the cover open. Or just to flip the cover around back and use it with out. Also protects the screen from minor scratches that could happen in pocket, which is what i really love about it, no need for tempered glass.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bryank930:
I'm in a similar situation. I use a magnetic mount in the car, but on my current G3, I have the metal plate between the layers of a Spigen Slim-Armor case. I want to do the same when I get my S8+ later today, but I also want to be able to easily utilize the wireless charging feature. What I settled on is the Spigen Slim-Armor CS case with the credit card holder on the back. Slightly thicker, but I can stick the metal plate to the back of the door that slides open to cover the cards. Close it to use the magnet mount in the car, slide it open to charge wirelessly. We'll see this weekend if it will work like that or not.

Oh, and the CS version of the case was less than 1/2 the price of the standard slim-armor. ($16 vs $35).

Case for sure, especially after seeing some drop tests and that one other guy who dropped his on the ground and cracked the back. Seems like the back is super fragile, where as the front will survive just about any thing.

Went with Spigen (Galaxy S8 Plus Case Liquid Air Armor) again and received both my S8+ and my cover at the same time. Super happy with this cover so far.

My biggest issues are that this device is most comfortable without a case, unlike other devices I have had. It's glad is very comfortable to hold.

Also it's too beautiful to cover up!

Finally that ridiculous fingerprint sensor position is so uncomfortable (especiallyfor me as a leftie), and every case i have tried so far has made it even worse. I find this device quite fiddly to switch on.

So i may stay without a case.

Agree, a case is a must. Something that can withstand drops. My s7e got dead pixels from drops. Glass never shattered but dead pixels soon after. I was using those plastic belt clip cases and they suck at taking drops.

Now, im using the Spigen tough armor. Better safe than sorry. My only problem is the screen protector with this case. Need to ensure u get a "case friendly" protector of not its going to bubble up at the corners.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 508bmartin:
Same here. Bought the s-view case and thought it was horrible. That extra layer that makes it a kickstand makes the phone so thick. Plus it's hard to one-hand the fingerprint reader when trying to use Samsung Pay with a flip cover.
