I have replaced my LCD screen thanks to njbridges great service but the casing around the screen hasn't clipped back 100%

All four corners have pooped back OK but the section where the Sim goes wont clip back in also the same place but the opposite side of the screen I can see a plastic lug that seems it needs to clip in.

I have tried several times even took took the screen out and tried without the screen but no luck.

I was wondering if this is common once the front casing has been removed.

Thanks, Chris.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mocro:
had the same problem when i opened mine. and the thing is that you need to klik the case back before you put the screws back. and the best way to klik it back is to push it away from the screen
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] se4me:
Thanks I will give this a try a little later, ill report back...lol
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] Andy4Shurr:
I was looking through the reviews and benchmarks on phonearena here and noticed the Honor 8 Pro scores quite a bit less than the Mate 9, also running the Kirin 960. Would that simply be down to the QHD screen on the 8 Pro?

I'm wondering how that would affect things like emulation with Dolphin, where single core performance is quite important. Would it not matter so much as you choose the resolution to render the game at anyway? So it wouldn't be QHD in dolphin or is it a driver setting which would need to be changed like on the Galaxy S8?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] jonmorris:
Yes, I'd put it down to QHD vs FHD.

As an aside my Honor 8 Pro has UFS 2.1 memory, while my Mate 9 has eMMC - so I'm even happier to be using the Honor as my daily driver. The Mate 9 is great in many ways, but the Honor screen is so much nicer!
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] Andy4Shurr:
I'm still weighing both of these up. I can't seem to find any Honor 8 Pros in stock, vmall has been out of stock since launch but Mate 9 is readily available.

Have you tried Dolphin Emulator on your 8 Pro? I'm not sure if the QHD screen will have any detriment! Is there an option to turn QHD to FHD in the settings like Samsung have?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] jonmorris:
The phone is not available on vMall or Amazon now, which is frustrating as people I've recommended the phone to can't buy - and sooner or later they'll buy something else instead.

I've not tried Dolphin Emulator but there is an option to drop the resolution for power saving, but unlike on the P9 where it toggled between 1080p and 720p, I've not managed to get it to actually do anything. The same for the Mate 9, P10 etc. Perhaps it only does it when running certain apps?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] Andy4Shurr:
Thanks for your replies Jon, yeah it's a shame that it's not available now. I may end up just getting a Mate 9 because of it. I'm not overly keen on those black borders around the screen but I want a big screen/powerful CPU and I hate the S8+ aspect ratio (I'd prefer the Snapdragon anyway and that isn't available in Europe).

Maybe the QHD/FD toggle thing will happen in an update somewhere down the line. I'd only ever want QHD on if using VR, so a switch would have been handy. Hopefully you don't have to tie that in with turning the performance of the CPU down as well.

[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] kodinos:
Any other testimonies on the storage type of your Honor 8 Pro?

I think Vmall specification pages indicate storage type as UFS, Anandtech also confirmed UFS 2.1 in their Preview.

Is it again a lottery between UFS/eMMC like with the P10 series?
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] EveryWay:
Yes, there are Honor 8 Pro with eMMC.
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] Krystal666:
I have bought honor 8 pro on a reseller website in France and it has eMMC memory too, i have called today vmall Europe (Huawei-Honor) customer and technical services, i reported the problem about memory type, they said they will make an investigation about it and will contact me...It is really a winning lottery and for some, a whining lottery ;)
[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] -=MoRpH=-:
I don't think they will do something... And I don't find any information about the memory type on the European and Chinese vmall website.

[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] Andy4Shurr:
I ended up getting a mate 9 instead. I prefer a bigger screen and you could only get the blue Honor 8 Pro from vmall, I wanted a black phone.

Everyone will see frame drops and lag here and there, once in a while. I've gotten used to excepting it. They said the s6 edge was lag free. They said the same about the s7 edge. But this time, I think they're largely right.

No lag. At all.

Smart switch from iOS, random lag sputtered especially when hitting the home button
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] henrybravo:
This thread is a perfect example showing that everyone sees and experiences things in totally different ways. Many people are just not sensitive to micro-stutters and jitter, or they don't think it's a big enough deal to bother mentioning it, or they just accept it. Personally I am quite sensitive to it, as is the OP it would seem. I can guarantee you that dave30534 or myself could sit down with any of the "lag free" people in this thread and see jitter/stutters on your phones within 5 seconds. I too tried multiple variants of the phone at Best Buy and they're all the same "stutteriness" (which makes perfect sense, as they're all the same hardware and software minus the unique bloatware per phone and maybe a different modem). I have the AT&T variant myself and it stutters sometimes, very similar to my old Note 7 in the 2 weeks I owned it. Stutters much more so than an iPhone or Pixel, for comparison.

I have a friend who plays FPS PC games and he never needs to enable v-sync. While he's playing a game, we can both be looking at the same monitor and I clearly see screen tearing and he clearly does NOT "see" it. It's almost like different people have different "shutter speeds" in their eyes or brains, haha. Screen-tearing is not the same thing as stuttering, but it goes to show you that what's plain as day to one person is not always to another.

I was talking to a waitress in a restaurant once, and I noticed she had a Moto 360 on her wrist. She had owned the watch for over 2 years (she bought it the day it came out, she said). At that time I was interested in buying this watch, so I asked her if she liked it, and was she bothered by the cut-off flat part at the bottom of the display (commonly referred to as the "flat tire"). She had no idea what I was talking about. She had to turn on her watch and closely look at it to see what I was talking about, and then she said, "Oh that's funny, I never noticed that before!".

Arstechnica did a frame-time comparison between a Pixel XL and a Galaxy S8+. There's a setting built into Android, where you can enable a developer option called "Profile GPU rendering". It's a tool for app developers to to see where their app stands against the 1 frame every 16.67 ms target (which translates to 60 FPS). It displays a horizontal green line on the screen, and any frames that take more than 16 ms to render will show up as vertical lines above the horizontal green line. While simply scrolling up and down through the Play Store (not exactly a taxing chore), the Pixel was consistently hitting the rendering target while the S8+ was frequently having trouble and dropping frames. And this was with the S8+ rendering at its lowest possible resolution (1480x720). The reviewer goes on to say, "Touchwiz is still a janky lag-fest. Despite the faster processor, the Google Pixel is a smoother, faster-feeling device." Personally I wouldn't call it a lag-fest but it's definitely behind the curve when compared to other phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] s2kpdx:
I was seeing some annoying lag after hitting the home button while using the stock launcher. I ended up trying a different launcher and have noticed the lag is mostly gone. I still it here and there though. (restored from google play backup (not all apps though))

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheGPR12:
I've been noticing that everytime I hold my finger on screen and scroll without lifting frames drop like crazy. No matter what app I'm scrolling on. The moment my finger gets lifted off the screen to scroll frames return back to 60ish fps.

Not good at all
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheAnarchist1:
I, too, also had the lag, or should I more accurately the framerate loss with my T-Mobile S8+. I tried everything from disabling as much bloat as possible to getting my trusty Nova Pro and my usual minimalist setup. Nothing seemed to help. The longer the device settled the worse it seemed to get. I tried to overlook it but finally threw in the towel and want back to my Pixel XL. You never realize how bogged down the S8+ really is until you switch back to your Pixel. I am not a Samsung hater. I love both Google and Samsung. I've used every Galaxy except the S2 and the S4 remains one of my favorite phones of all time still. With that being said. The S8+ feels more like an S6 chapter in the series rather than another S7 Edge beauty. I am wondering if the SoC simply isn't able to keep up with the massive display. I mean even cranked down below QHD. This is still a juggernaut of a display with a lot of pixels to push. I wonder if the GPU is simply bogging under the load. It reminds me of the old ASUS Transformer days where the SoC simply couldn't effectively push the screen which had a resolution well ahead of the tablet curve at the time. They didn't slump on internals but they simply weren't "there" yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mhill1986:
So, you would say that every single s8 has those little stutters when switching between apps and pressing home? I'm asking because I've tried a dozen or so s8/s8+ at stores and found them all to stutter a lot. Seeing all these people on XDA talking about their lag-free devices was starting to make me think that the lag I saw in stores was just because of demo mode or something. Now, I'm just not sure.

I'm thinking of jumping from the G6 to the s8 because of some of the great features (e.g., I really like Samsung pay), but I can't stand the stutters! I really do like the G6 and have absolutely no problems with it...Maybe I'll wait for the Note 8. I'm sure it will stutter, too, but I love the s pen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mlock420:
I've gotten use to it as well and I have my s8+ for 7 days so far no lag no frame drops...i look closely because I know how Sammy is lol...but to my surprise I don't see nothing no hiccups at all...

I used smart switch and had issues with frame rates on facebook. Even though I'd cleared the cache via settings it didn't resolve the problem.

Another member suggested a reboot into recovery (off, then restart holding up and bixby key) and clear cache. Lag and stutter gone.

Try it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hinds90:
I used smart switch with my iphone 6+ to s8+. I've noticed a lag or stutter when tapping the home button. A slight stutter in the animations when the app closes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] biffwitch:
I have the Exynos S8+. Restored from google backup, although had to reinstall my apps because they didn't come back.

I have no micro stutters, only the odd bit of lag loading an app that hasn't been loaded before, or when an app is loading data in such as maps etc after sitting unused for a while, which is normal even on IOS.

As for frame drops and skipping the S8+ so far is excellent for me. Samsung has nailed this one. To be fair though the Exynos S7 was lag free for me too.

Alternatively, some have said that those Bixby remapping apps such as BixBye may be the cause of some of these "lag" issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
It's hard to tell from these posts whether some phones are lagging and others not, or whether some users are more sensitive to lag than others are. Posting videos of the purported lag would help us to understand the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
Generally, applications that use accessibility features lag and drain battery, because the feature is not optimized properly. Google has said that the accessibility feature is "working as intended", even though it still vastly wastes resources, and is not optimized. Using an accessibility service to detect an app being open is extremely heavy on the processor, because it's very inefficient compared to a built-in detector
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
Didn't notice any lag but when I uninstalled the Bixby remapping app I could tell there was some lag present. Before uninstalling the Bixby remapping app when I would go through the apps in setting there was a little stutter and after uninstalling it - not a bit. I guess I'll learn to live with Bixby or just disable it with Package Disabler Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
If you're rooted you can change the setting at the system level by merely changing 1 word of text without any of the slowdown attributed with having one of those apps. I use it to open up my music player (Spotify in my case) and it works great. If you use the root method it also doesn't breifly open bixby while loading your app or whatever either.

I'm also experiencing lots of stutters when pressing the home button or going from app to app. The software is poorly optimised and it shows. This is typical Samsung. Releases a stuttery version then fixes it on the next major update. I had the 3T beforehand and that thing just flies, puts the s8 to shame anyday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] calvin35:
The problem for me was only with the Samsung launcher when pressing the home button. Opening an app from the home screen was fine but exiting of of any app using the home button produced lots of stutters and and frame drops. It's a real shame because I actually like the features of the launcher but the stuttering was terrible. On my Note5 the Samsung launcher was great but the one on the S8+that I have is the worst preforming Samsung launcher I've seen in all my 5 years of buying Samsung phones. Luckily Nova launcher or especially ADW launcher(that launcher is very well optimized) solves the problem.
