[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] loris100:
Well you can upgrade but i recommend waiting for another phone with the same SOC...

My dad bought the S8 and is pretty meh...Narrow design, same screen as the s6 just bigger and slightly higher res which makes it looks strange...camera is the same as an S6 on good light conditions and slightly better on dark conditions...Figerprint positioning is absurd...Battery is not that good...SOC is newer but you wont notice any difference unless you try hard...And the price is way too high for whats is worth...

I dont want to start a new thread but i am wondering the same but i am coming from a oneplus one.. again is their any bonus in upgrading.. and how is development for samsung devices
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] snick8467:
i went from s6 edge + to s8. Very happy so far. the form factor fits better in the hand, software is fine. I like the back being glass. good feel overall.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] eduardmc:
A BIG YES. I upgrade from a s7 edge and to me it was so worth it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] VaderSS:
If you like the S6 and want to stay with Samsung, I'd say yes. Otherwise, I'd say wait until more info is available on the Google Pixel 2.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] teegunn:
It's such a large upgrade from the S6 it's silly to even have to talk about all the reasons why. For comparison, the S8+ made the S7 Edge seem very dated. There is no comparison, unless you like old, slow phones with far inferior displays, memory size, camera..... I could go on. Not even in the same ballpark. By far the best phone made to date - S8/S8+. That changes every 6 months or so with a new phone taking the crown, but right now this is the top dog.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Agree, S8&S8+ are top-of-the-foodchain! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ruanterino:
How are the lags on the S8? Because on the S6 when I'm scrolling in chrome or facebook I get lags. Usual android thing. That's what making me wonder if I should wait iphone 8 or get the galaxy s8. Btw, I don't plan going to Google Pixel 2 because I like the Samsung devices. I've always had Samsung phones. Tried Nexus once but I'm not a fan of stock android.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] choccy31:
Upgraded today to the Grey/silver version from S6.

Ordered awesome spigen case too.

Role on Friday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] teegunn:
Zero lag in anything I have done on my S8+. Smoothest, fastest phone I have ever used.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sdotagain:
I went from s6 Edge to S8. I think it's worth it. The battery is much better. Bigger screen, not as wide so easier to hold. It's pretty better all around. If you got nougat on your s6 then the software experience will not feel drastically different. Haven't really tested the camera head to head yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tijsva:
I have to disagree with you on a few points:

"far inferior displays" - Just because the S8 has a more futuristic look with its smaller bezels and increased height over the S6 I don't see it being fair to consider the S6 to be far inferior. The S6 featured an incredible screen at its time, and compared to alot of flagships out there it still is an amazing screen anno 2017! (pixeldensity is still better on the S6 vs the S8 by the way)

"memory size" - Just because the S8 features 1GB more, it does not mean that you actually use it. Just because it looks better on paper does not make it essential in daily usage. 4GB future proof? Yes! Absolutely necessary at this moment? Probably not.

"camera" - If you are talking about the front facing camera, then yes probably you are right. The rear camera however is only marginaly improved over the S6.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you that the S8 beats the S6 in all of those points, but I think its actual difference in daily usage is to be argued whether the TS needs to upgrade or not :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bluheart:
From S6 Edge to S8 is a perfect upgrade at all levels. I gave S6 to dad and I am using S8 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] alaa96:
how is that bad battery life ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mike2518:
I had the s6 when it came out for 2 weeks. One of the worst phones I ever had mainly due to it running hot and horrible ram management. After loading a few apps the home screen would have to refresh. Almost everyone was facing this issue. I sold the phone past it's return period for a 150 dollar loss and went to an iPhone 6 for first time in 6 years and stayed with iPhone till the I got the s8. Best phone I've ever used ever. Get it!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AdrianE46:
Get the S8. Just do it.

Haven't been into the whole specs/rooting game in a long time, so here's my honest, practical everyday impression about it:

The screen is just great. Forget pixel density and all the "specs you never actually notice". It just looks great and you can adjust the whitepoint to your liking or go with the other color adjusted modes that are color accurate, but not as vivid.

As far as the aspect ratio is concerned, I think that people that are actually finding this a real problem or a deal breaker are either full of it or complaining just for the sake of it. It's like a normal screen but just extended abit for the navigation bar. I came from the HTC M8 and it hasn't bothered me one bit. You can press a button to "fit" any app to the aspect ratio to look seamless without cropping anything out (except for some games, where cropping actually does occur). And even if you don't fit the screen it's "like a normal 5.5 inch display".

The battery life is pretty good in my opinion. I uninstalled every application I don't actually use, but kept almost everything on all the time (except Bluetooth and nfc) including things like AOD, mobile data, Wi-Fi, etc with auto brightness on and adjusted toward a brighter setting and I still get around 5h SOT.

Haven't noticed any lag or abnormal battery drain yet in 3 weeks (probably due to having about 25-30 apps installed in total, including system apps).

What can I say? I like it. Looks wonderful, feels wonderful, has decent battery life and (until now) works absolutely great.
[General Questions and Answers] SH4D0W11:
Hi there guys!

I do have a s4 mini lte and for the past week I've tried almost everything when it comes to rooting my mobile.

THe first thing I tried was Kingoroot and then Kingroot but it looked like it wasn't possible to root it using them.

Then I installed CWM with Odin(I tried with TWRP but got Red error on Odin). I flashed the zip with CWM and when the phone booted up, it looked for updates for 5-10 secs and then I opened SuperSU (it was installed) it kept saying that there were no binary found.

I had to download the latest version of Supersu (2.79) and when I tried to flash it, I got "You lost root access"

FIx it? Yes/No

I pressed no since it was suggested on other forums to do so, but then I still got the same problem with SuperSU ( no binary found)

I did wipe cache,tried also with factory reset,disabled and then re-enabled supersu,updated it from playstore, but still no root.

How the hell am I supposed to root this stupid phone?

Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrphanBlack:
Hello.

I asked myself why you can not hide the Navigation Bar from the factory.

I Have long researched and have come to this solution until an official version works. It works very well and I am quite satisfied.

On Playstore I discovered this app (All in One Gesture) by YS Liang.

What it can do;

【Supported Gestures

• Swipe from edges.

• Double tap on the status bar.

• Long press on the physical keys (for Android 4.3+). Works great on Android 7

• Mouse or stylus (S Pen) is supported.

【Supported Actions

• Home, Back, Recent Apps, Screen Off, Immersive Mode, etc.

• Launch of an application or a shortcut.

Step 1:

- Open All in One Gesture> Enable Swipe

- scroll down to Corners> aktivate Lower Left Area

Step 2:

- swipe from left to right, you will see Side Panel [Settings]

- go to Personalisation and open Edge Preference; and make your settings.

- (mine configuration is: Opacity 0% , Corner Size 15px, Edge Sensitivity 60px, Edge With 50%, Horizontal

Offset 0%, Vertical Offset 0%, Swipe Distance 40px).

- activate Behind Keyboard

- go back to Side Panel [Settings]

Step 3:

- swipe from left to right to see Side Panel

- click on Immersive Mode

- if you want to see the Status Bar, activate it

- Enable Blacklist and click on Manage Blacklist to exclude your desired apps from Immersive Mode

- Now activate the Immersive Mode in the upper right corner (for constantly usage )

or deactivate Blacklist/Immersive Mode (for using with a swipe down activation....)

you're Done, that's it. :) play with the settings and find your best solution!!)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] snowblind2142:
Already had this set up, but i wasn't aware there was a blacklist? Can you confirm how to open blacklist for apps?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrphanBlack:
Open the app and swipe from left to right side to see the Settings Panel...under Immersive Mode> Preference> Manage Blacklist
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puksom:
It only sucks that keyboard won't pop up when in immersive mode..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] snowblind2142:
Thanks, but i cant seem to find preference button?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] OrphanBlack:
Do you have root? Check in Magisk Manager if root is granted for "All about Gesture". If not deinstall the app and install it from Play Store again, use link in post #1. Then check in Magisk Manager Settings, if "busybox" and "hide magisk" is marked on.... :highfive::good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] snowblind2142:
Ahhhhh that's why :) i haven't rooted.

For the first time i want to see how long i can go before it does my head in not having root ;)

Thank you for explaining. Might want to add to first post that root is required for per app basis.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MishaalRahman:
You don't need root to enable immersive mode: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-enable-system-wide-immersive-mode-without-root/
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] anewday:
Wait, the S8 has been rooted???
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] snowblind2142:
:) No one said it did need root, the app the op advised needs root to be able to do immersive mode on a per app basis ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MishaalRahman:
Yeah, but you don't even need root to do this on a per-app basis. Just providing an alternative, non-root solution here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Splen:
Using shell I typed in:

"adb shell pm grant com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" and the blacklist became visible. Also, my keyboard now works with this app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyCypher:
Is there any ADB command or other non root option to increase auto-hide time when immersive mode is on?

Thanks ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vboyz103:
Alternative to this is go to your Edge settings (default by Samsung) and install the Edge Softkey and the order your Edge Softkey to be first.

Enable Immersive and swipe at the edge for navigation keys.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakend:
Dear Friends,

I have an Honor 6 H60-L04 phone.

first time poster here, but long time lurker. I've found this forum very helpful plenty of times, I hope you guys can give me some hint to solve my ludicrous problem.

Until yesterday morning I was an happy user of my phone, but since then the phone utterly refused to connect to any mobile network (2G/3G/4G) with my main sim card. I'm not just talking about data connection, but voice connection too... I mean it doesn't "log on" to any kind of mobile network of my operator.

The Android system page where I can change the mobile network settings is all greyed out in fact.

At the beginning I thought it was due to an error in the sim and/or the phone... so I put the sim in an old nokia 3310 and it worked. Ok I then thought it was the phone then: I put the sim of another operator in the phone and... IT WORKED!!!

Ok then for Murphy's law I thought it may be due to the sim AND the phone so yesterday afternoon I went to a retail store of my operator and made a replacement of the sim, keeping the number and the plans of course.

I put the sim in the phone and the same thing as above happened: the sim works flawlessly in the old nokia 3310 too.

I put ANOTHER sim of the SAME operator in the Honor 6 and it WORKED!!!! :crying:

I called the operator explaining all of the above and they told me something like this never happened to them and it doesn't make much sense, not to mention it's all ok from their network side regarding my phone line. There isn't any IMEI ban as well...

They suggested my it may be some kind of block which occurred in my phone for the specific phone number... but is it even possible to do something like that with an Android phone to begin with?

Could a total reset of the phone help?

I don't want to buy a new smartphone for something as stupid as this... :mad:
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gopinaidu77:
Yes , the only solution is to factory reset .

If u think u had blocked a specific sim, then a data wipe can clear that issue . Though this question is old or posted long time ago , i was answering to make sure this helps someone and on Someday

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kepela523:
Ok in my speed dial i have a Voicemail number.. its a weird number, like a 772 area code number, When i call it goes to my voicemail.. Why? whos number is this (772)??

my Telephone number is a (305) number..

I am comming from sprint and my voicemail number was MY cell phone number in order to get to my voicemail.

Do i edit my option and change the number to call my cell phone number (305)???

OR do i keep the (772) number?? I am confused...? Either number i call it goes into my voicemail...

Ok, get this, when I go into my phone Settings > Services > Voice Mail and Text Messages... The numbers there are weird.. the voicemail is that (772) and the Text messages Service center is a weird (312) number.. Why??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
that's normal for most US carriers now. If you call that number from a landline youwill see it takes you into the vmail system so you can retrieve your messages from a landline. It's going to be a different number depending upon what area you are in. Mine is 619-204-0806 and I use the phon ein 760 area code. 619 is probably San Diego and I live in the Palm Springs area which is a few hours away.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kepela523:
Oh Ok, I got it.. :)... So should I just change the number under phone Settings to MY cell number? or keep that weird 772 number??

What do you think???

Also, I set up a password to my Voicemail, But when i call my voicemail from my Cell phone it doesnt ask for it, When I call that Weird (772) number from a land phone, it does ask for it..

Is there a way to get a password from my cell phone too??

Thank you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
leave the 772 number, it's correct.

when you call in via the cell phone will never ask you for a password, it assumes that it's safe to allow the caller into vmail because they are calling from the cell number associated with vmail box. If you call from a landline, then it prompts the caller for a password.

Now, if I rememebr right (I was just playing around with this a few weeks ago), on ATT you can setup the vmail box to prompt for password from the cellphone also. Youwould need to go thru the vmail account options and see if there is an option for this. If you are on ATT I believe it's possible.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] triplehtown:
From prior experience in working for that POS company with that general vmail number you get charged minutes. But if u put in your own number as the vmail number it counts as mobile to mobile. Have fun!:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
wow good point, especially now that they give out m2m air time a lot more then before. I've got unlimited m2m so that makes sense for me to change it. I already switched mine....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] triplehtown:
Yup yup, I used to change it over for customers that were cool automatically :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
you the man....

I bet most users don't know this and never even clue in when reviewing their bill....
[General Questions and Answers] [★]:
Hi guys

Several years ago I used to be a very active member of this forum, building ROMS and custom designs for windows phone and then using XDA to mess around with my Android phones. I used to spend all my time here, until I bricked my HTC One X and that was the end for me :eek:

Since 2013 I relied on a Iphone 5S. The main reason for getting it was that I didn't want to allow myself the temptation of fiddling and tweaking with my phone and in the end breaking it. Which I did twice with my previous smart phones.

But now it is coming to the time of getting a new one, and I want to get back to Android and the benefits that it offers. I plan to get a mid range device that I can load some custom ROM on and use as my every day phone. I don't really like to be on my phone much so in all honest I want one that's going to be able to run a lightweight ROM efficiently where I can choose the apps I put on and maybe even restrict myself from getting more. Ideally I'd like one which just has a good camera and music streaming, browser and navigation capability. One with low power useage / good battery life too, as I will be running it off solar power!

Can anybody recommend a phone that fits this bill to start looking into? Preferably on the cheap side :P

Cheers!

I have noticed overthe last few days that I am no longer getting any vibration notifications when I receive emails. I WAS getting them but now I get nothing. Phone is definitely in vibrate mode and the vibration intensity is on maximum, it just isnt vibrating at all. I have rebooted, installed AQDD, turned sound/vibration on and off several times in the last few days but i get nothing. haptic feedback DOES work, it is vibrating on keypresses and hard press on the home button so it is capable of vibrating, it isnt like the vibrator is broken.

Edit: ok nevermind, apparently when BlueMail brought over its settings after updating, it decided to forget about the vibration setting!

[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] gagmani:
As we all know Redmi 1s has only 800 megabytes allocated to its system partition. This makes it difficult to flash nano gapps in android 6.0 and 7.1 based roms. Pico gapps do not have Google Search and Hotword. Downloading Google Search from Playstore does not always work as Hotword is missing from system partition. A simple solution is to create an open gapps config file called gapps-config.txt. Some components cannot be excluded like e.g. GoogleTTS which is required by the setup. I have added only two keywords Speech and GoogleAssistant and my nano gapps got installed. Speech offline packages can be downloaded from the Google app later if required. Your mileage may vary. You can try to exclude Faceunlock,facedetect and calsync. Just add the word in bold to your gapps-config file and paste the file in the same folder where the zip files of your rom and open-gapps are. GoogleAssistant keyword is still required as Assistant did not work without it. It should have worked without it as Google enabled Assistant for all android 6.0 and 7.1 phones, but it did not.

Keywords that can be excluded(some are necessary):

# Pico+

DialerFramework # Install Dialer Framework

CalSync # Install Google Calendar Sync (except if Google Calendar is being installed)

GoogleTTS # Install Google Text-to-Speech (Micro+ on 5.0-, Pico+ on 6.0+) reduces chances of setup crashing

PackageInstallerGoogle # Install Google Package Installer

# Nano+

BatteryUsage # Install Device Health Services (7.1+)

FaceDetect # Install Face Detect library for photo apps

FaceUnlock # Install FaceUnlock

Search # Install Google Search (including includes Hotword, excluding excludes GoogleNow and PixelLauncher)

Speech # Install Offline Speech Files

Hotword # Must for Google Assistant
