[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Steve191:
Have new Moto G5s Plus running Android 7.1.1 ... and there is NO option AT ALL to turn on PUSH email notifications.

A post on another Android forum the tech for Android itself recommended DELETING the Google account and then reinstalling it ... a total NO GO for this phone which will not let me delete that account (as were his other recommendations, which again this phone will NOT let me do).

This phone is WORTHLESS TO ME if I can't get it to PUSH emails out to it since I NEED the push email option during business hours (minimum time frame option for checking emails that I can click on is 15 minutes). I have read this entire thread, read what that tech for Android said to do - but which I can't do ANY of because of this phone locking me out of doing it- and am fit to be tied.

Looks like I wasted a bunch of money on this new Moto G5s Plus and need to go back to my $30 LG Rebel 2 which does all of the email handling very well. (as far as I am concerned a phone should work OUT OF THE BOX and one should not NEED to spend a lot of time getting the basics set up, and having email PUSH is a basic as far as I am concerned - I am NOT going to spend HOURS to get this phone to work, it is a waste of my time)

Before I put this new Moto phone on Ebay or Craigs list to sell any further suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] alexdoan3011:
I don't know if it works on other phones but I figured it out on my Mi Max 2 running mostly unmodified Nougat by Linage. It's the combination of both "Battery Optimization" setting and the "unrestricted data usage" setting. The first one is already pointed out by many people, for the second one you go to App Info for the app you want consistent notification of, click "data usage" then turn on "unrestricted data usage". I hope it works for your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] INAX93:
Guys I hope it will work for you... As I already tested everything the problem seems to come from the combination of using Bluetooth (I have the Samsung Gear S3) and Google app updated... try to uninstall all the updates (or even disable it if you don't use it at all) of the Google app (not gmail, not google play services or anything else... just Google... linked to Google Now)... and reboot your device... you'll see the magic...

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

ps : don't forget to disable "auto update" for the google app in the google play store as well...

A method to test (for each updates of the google app) if the problem is solved or not, is to try to manually update your device software (in settings, Software Update, Manual update)... if the research popups instant or less than 3 sec (3-5 times in a row) it means notifications wont be delayed... on the other hand if it takes more than 3 secs to popup notifications gonna be delayed for sure... :)

I was able to fix it finally by: Deleting Google Account and re-adding again.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] VIRGO 55:
It is now May of 2018, I have bought an S8 a week ago and I very much love it; everything is perfect with it, I have absolutely nothing to say negative about it.

I optimised everything on it to save battery life and ALL of my notifications work perfectly.

I guess Samsung has done pretty good in fixing the OREO OS(it's now a year after the phone first came out).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] A0425A:
I'm having this issue now too. I'm not sure if I've always had it and didn't notice or if it cropped up with a resent update but it's very frustrating. I'm running a TMB S8 with U1 firmware. It's very sad because like others have said, hardware and screen are second to none but software implementation leaves a lot to be desired. It's almost enough to make me go back to iOS. I'd really like to get this issue solved. As much as there seems to be out there on the net about this issue, I can't believe Google hasn't addressed it. I'm left not knowing what to do after a weekend of factory resets and tweaking settings to try and resolve. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I'm about ready to put it, my gear s2 and gear fit2 up for sale.

Touch 3.0

If you're flashing Touch 3.0 Full, TouchFlo and the cube already is integrated into the rom and you don't have to install anything "manually"....

btw Meschle's ROM's are just great imo, you won't regret...and it has a newer build (18521.0.7.0)...

just use uspl before flashing onto your device ;)

help low memory

Hi wondered if anybody could help ?

Got an XDA orbit and installed Touch Flo 3 the other day.

Love the interface but it is causing the memory to be too low to operate effectively

Program memory is in total 50mb

The free memory goes as low as 6mb and causes issues such as the camera not been able to work ' memory to low ' error message

Is there any way to resolve this -

is there asn alternative version of touch flo that would be more effective ?

my storage memory has 31mb free - can i use any of this ?

please help

thanx sean

I am using a Android Zenfone 2E Rooted.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mr Ian B:
Hi;

I currently have Cricket for cell phone service. Yes, I know I do not need it unlocked ATT model to run on Cricket. I paid $935 last Friday, did not activate the ATT sim card that came with the phone but, rather insert my Cricket card and working like a champ. I went to ATT unlock device website but it does not recognize the imei of the phone either as an ATT customer or non ATT customer and thus unable to complete request to unlock it.

Reason I want it unlocked is because I jump based on best price offer for prepaid service available whether it is TMobile, MetroPCS or Cricket.

I called ATT customer service service and after explaining the above matter, they set up a case and said it would be unlocked by today Monday. Sunday I get a email that the feature is now available for my imei on my Apple ipad pro 9.7???? That email made no sense as it is a phone and not an ipad. I called 2x yesterday and they held their ground that I must have it on their gophone or ATT post paid plan for 6 months. I said I am not interested in ATT plans as Cricket is a better bang for their bucks.

Any suggestions how to approach ATT in a different manner to unlock it. I am thinking of just taking it back to BB and ordering the unlock version even thought they are slower on updates. My last option would be to just pay in ebay to get it unlocked.

Any any help will be appreciated,

Ian B
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Shuthefrontdoor:
Maybe you should just suck it up and pay a service to unlock your phone, I would be scared to return and new one will have issues (red tint) ECT, after seeing the update speed for g935u I will never buy that unlocked us model, why dont you get the g955f ? Battery life and speed looks to be supreme
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] netnerd:
this makes no sense.

if you on cricket, what's the hurry to unlock it?

att phones work on cricket, no need to unlock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mr Ian B:
Thanks for your input but, I guess you did not read my reason why I want it unlocked now and not at their terms.

No worries, phone is being returned today.

Ian B
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Rapazzo:
Get the Verizon version, Verizon has an agreement with the FCC requiring their phones to be unlocked out of the box.

Also S8 Plus at Best Buy $820 outright.

Regards
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gurinder073:
Its not your problem i also got from att and it look like they didnt update there imei database so wait and try after some time to unlock your device
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mr Ian B:
Dont see $820.00 on the site for ATT.

Ian B
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] YoungAceAtlanta:
You have to activate the service on AT&T and then unlock it. The IMEI is not updated until you activate it. even if you bought it outright. You have to activate it on the plan AT&T gave you and then unlock it. After that you can cancel the AT&T plan and go to where you wish.

I have a AT&T store. If you need more assistants let me know.

If you wanted to pay full retail you should've just ordered from the Samsung website. They give you the unlock code from there. Or visit CellUnlocker and pay $24.99 for a unlock code. it takes two-three days to receive it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mr Ian B:
Thx for info but phone returned. I was in middle of cricket cycle and was not gonna start attending plan just so I can get unlocked.

Ian B
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] lambition:
Do samsung.com send unlock code automatically or is it something I have to request to their customer service?

I just bought AT&T S8+ from Samsung.com. It will be great if I get the unlock code from Samsung once it is shipped out.

If I'm understanding what you said correctly, AT&T's database does not have IMEI of unactivated phone registered. Am I right?

Do you know if inserting an active SIM card from a AT&T customer will activate the phone with AT&T and update IMEI in their database? Opening an AT&T account just to get it unlocked seems too much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mkalbarc:
I am in the same situation as you and would like to know the answer to this too. Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] AndroiderM:
Same issue here, I paid full retail for Verizon version first but had a ton of issues with the phone switching to 3g for calls and missing calls on it. I exchanged for AT&T version but cannot get the unlock code. I have tried the online portal, called AT&T and Samsung with no luck. I pretty much stick with cricket so I'm not in a hurry to unlock, it's more the point that I paid $945 for my phone and want the code for resale purposes or if I decide to switch carriers.

It worked for me. Activate it on att network first gophone sim and make a 5 minute call
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] eaglerazor123:
Had the same issue with mine. Bought it from Samsung and I'm a ATT Prepaid Customer. ATT unlock device portal didn't work. So i went to ATT Community forums, and sent a Private message to @ ATTMobilityCare there. Mention my details, IMEI and the issue. They got in touch with me and my unlock request is processed immediately and got the code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sjcelius:
Something happened to me but if you contact AT&T tech service they were expedit the case and email you an unlock code it take about three days. That's what I did, but I couldn't wait on AT&T because I had to travel that week so I paid fastgsm to unlock my phone and it was only $20 it took 24 hours. Fastgsm and AT&T were the exact on lock code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mkalbarc:
Yep just got declined using the unlock portal... opened an account on the forums and contacted the attmobcare you stated. Hopefully they can assist me too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mkalbarc:
They declined my request again using the forums. They said it was because I didn't buy it directly from AT&T they couldn't do it. Said I have to contact Samsung to get it unlocked. Why is this such a pain in the @ss...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mkalbarc:
Annnnnd Samsung told me it's AT&T s job to give the unlock code... wth. Is unlocking phones like something new? I actually thought I read somewhere it is like law now to unlock phones... smh... bought phone outright from Sammy, now using it with AT&T and have been a customer with them for like 12 years. I'm stumped...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] EvoKnvl:
So I had the same issue as the last 2 posters. I bought my ATT version direct from Samsung. Right after I got it on the 20th, I applied via the ATT portal for an unlock. I got rejected at that time. A couple days ago, I called support and I was told to call Samsung by ATT. Of course calling Samsung results in them telling you to call ATT. So I called yesterday, talked to tech support again, and this time they re-did the request for the unlock. I assume he used the same portal, because I got the standard email saying I need to hit reply to the email within 24hrs, or the case would be closed. Today I got the unlock code. Not sure if it was because I needed tech to submit the request, or the phone needed time to show up in the database.

Bottom line, Samsung cannot unlock the phone, only ATT can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mkalbarc:
Wow soo I finally got my unlock code as well. I had to call the AT&T tech support, they had no idea why my portal request was denied and supplied the unlock code to me over the phone. So if anyone out there is in a similar situation just save yourself the hassle and call AT&T support.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] johnwayne27:
Its 10$ on ebay to get unlock code. Well worth it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mkalbarc:
Yes I would have paid that instead of going through all this hassle no doubt. But now that this puzzle has been solved it's worth a 10 minute call to get it unlocked and get a code. I got my code while on the phone with AT&T support.

I was using Foxfi to Hotspot my Verizon Grandfathered UDP .... I Just got the Galaxy S8+ and found out the hard way that Google(nougat), Samsung and Verizon teamed up to kill Foxfi's Hotspot hack. Until we have an unlocked boatloader. root or another working exploit, Hotspot isnt going to work on the Galaxy S8..The good news is I was able to find a decent workaround with an app called "Net Share-no-root-tethering" from the play store... It uses Wifi-Direct to share your phones data plan.. It does the trick and I'm able to share my data plan with other wireless devices.. I was literally just about to return my S8+ rather than wait weeks or months for the devs to crack the vault.. Hope this helps ease the tetherless pain while we wait for a new exploit ..

Edit: Please note this is not an equal substitute for native Hotspot.. I found the speeds to be much slower, but for basic internet use like checking email, and web surfing the connection was adequate.

Weird since I have Verizon with the Unlimited plan and hotspot does not work, even though it IS included with the plan. OP's app is garbage tbh, I get 50+mbps on speed test on the phone but on my computer I can hardly get above 10. Something is being lost in transmission and it isn't the fault of my PC.
