My wife and I got our phones last night, and during the all the updates we got the Bixby surprise. Fortunately I have the Samsung Package Disabler Pro and disabled Bixby.

Having a dead button is worth it, to be rid of the hideous Bixby.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussi] darksidesh007:
It is pretty easy. After it loads, you just pick which apps you want to disable. I found in another thread some of the Bixby related apps (courtesy of Syn Ack) you want to keep running in case you want to use one of the many "Bixby key re-mappers"

i installed sprint 2.17 rom on my telus p4000 .. it upgraded radio from 1.32 to 1.47 and it ran sprints extended rom stuff.

after that i cant see data usage history on telus website.. is it related to extended rom , radio or something else ??

btw i have two phones with telus and on the other account i can see usage ok, so its not a problem from telus's side.

thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JohnPyn:
Hi everyone, has anyone discovered which is the best most reliable way to unlock the new galaxy? I've been playing around with iris unlock and face recognition (since the fingerprint scanner accuracy looks pretty ****, with the case that I got at least) but I'm not sure which is better or even if one is better than the other. Sometimes they're both insanely fast but some other times they take a while
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MopHeadGeek:
I use the iris scanner trick is when unlocking look into the area of the red light unlocks in a heartbeat.

Facial recognition is easy to fool with a picture so iris scanner all the way. I have registered by iris and fingerprints for all scenarios.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] clintonroche:
Might want to register the same finger more than once. Maybe that will help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JohnPyn:
Well you are 100% correct thanks a lot for this insane trick! Tbh I don't care much about protection, I was just looking for the fastest one that would offer protection from friends and stuff like that (for instance if I lay the phone on the table and it gets picked up by someone) but you seem to have that down, thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MopHeadGeek:
No worries mate it's the simple things that help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] da.trute:
love the phone, hate the unlock, moving from my S6 this is a total nightmare, i'm actually considering sacking it off its so bad. Fingprint is a faff so thats out of the window, its also impossible which most non samsung cases as they are too thick. IRIS, total waste of time, works about 1 in 50 for me, too dependant on lighting conditions, this was never going to work though was it, just a gimmick.

So we are left with location unlocking and face recog, face recog seems to be ok but its far from secure.

Another issues ive found is that if you are using a non samsung flip case and are using an auto screen lock app that triggers when you close your case, and then opens the screen when you open your case.... face recog and location recog no longer works, you are left with pin only which is also a pain.

I guess the only way to do this would be to shell out on a genuine samsung case, so thats another £35.

Its a very pretty phone but its left me feeling underwhelmed due to these and a few other issues I wont bore people with, my S6 is still a better phone in some respects.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dr. Fed:
Maybe I'm weird, but I actually like the fingerprint sensor. Especially when taking the S8 out of my pocket.

I've set both the iris and face unlocks to activate when the screen turns on, which makes them super quick, but I've been using the face unlock more because my eyes hurt when I use the iris scanner. But maybe this is just in my head. Anyone else experiencing this? The iris scanner is better because it is more secure and works in any lighting...but I think my retinas are burning:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Majin101:
Yeah I got use to the fingerprint position.. I use both pin and fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBen60:
It can happen with iris scanner since it's using infra red light. Samsung warn us when we setup the iris scanner. You should stop using it

I tried all methods to see what's the best for me.

There are 2 modes for face recognition. One is faster, the other one is more secure. With the second one, your phone can't be fooled with a picture, video or a selfie of you. But I don't really like it because it doesn't always works, depending on light, of your position, posture, etc...

I'm left-handed, so the fingerprint sensor is not ideally positioned. But depending on how I grab my phone, it can be convinient to use it.

I think the iris scanner is the best unlocking choice. It's the most secure way to unlock a phone in the world, it's fast, can't be fooled, it works as well in full sun as at night (it doesn't need light to work, infra-red).

So I use the iris scanner and fingerprint scanner daily
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dr. Fed:
Hmm, I missed the setting to make the face unlock more secure. I need to check on that. Thanks for the tip.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] aristopo:
Iris scanner works pretty good. I registered as indicated, in medium light room away from windows, and it works perfectly in same conditions. But outside in powerful daylight, I had problems (or I was squinting more than usual :) )

Fingerprint scanner works pretty fine, as well. At the beginning, I had problems, but then I realized that I registered 2 vertical fingerprints, and were recognized only with the phone in that position. Erased them and re-registered in the normal holding position (slanted as you naturally grab the phone). Now works very fast, 9 times out of 10 trials.

Face recognition is the lowest security feature (my wife didn't manage to open it, though :) )
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JohnPyn:
You actually need to update to the latest OS for that
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ITNV:
I don't think that setting is there in all variants. Someone posted a a screenshot of where that toggle is located in settings and when I looked there I didn't have it. I have an S8 on AT&T running the OTA update that pushed out yesterday. (G950USQU1AQD9)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] flashingrom84:
I'm getting used to the fingerprint but the iris scanner actually works the majority of the time which I didn't expect. I'm not sure I like the idea of them introducing it for mobile payments though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dr. Fed:
Oh, thanks. I actually did that already.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barismerttt:
Hello,

I have searched the internet and couldn't find useful method to turn my n7100's cell radio features off permanently without using any application. I want my n7100 to use as a tablet with wifi only. I never want it to establish a connection to gsm services (like emergency services).

Please forward me to useful ways except "go and buy a new android tablet" :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Option58:
Yes. Well this is radical but you can flash ROMs for n7105. That way your radio features won't work as you are loading incorrect drivers.

Moderate use

Maybe an hour or two in poor reception and actually i streamed instagram live in the poor reception area for like 10 minutes or so too.

Light to moderate snapchat videos

Only thing to note is that the last 40 min of SOT was min brightness viewing these forums before bed.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] philipone69:
I'm starting this to get your thoughts on the different camera sensors in the S8 and S8+. As you probably know this is a trend with Samsung since the s6. This year, the S8 uses either a sony imx 333 or a samsung isocell. Last year the sony sensor proved to be a bit better than the isocell counterpart and 2 years ago this was a real issue with isocell users getting a lot less quality from their photos compared with those lucky ones that got the sony sensors.

My simple s8 has an isocell.

Took some photos and it looks fine at first glance. I'm curios how many of you got the sony sensors and how many the isocells.
