[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
No it's smart switch

I believe after the Note 4 they switched to smart switch. I don't remember them ever updating Kies for newer devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
Update: after resetting the device, thinking I was going to return it, I went back to the phone section at BB and they said it was a server issue last night/this morning at Samsung that was preventing the update. We set up the device again and put the tmobile sim in, searched for a software update and it found, downloaded and installed it. Now, all should be good right? Well, I tried searching for updates to make sure I had them all and hit this... Does this mean I'm having issues again, or could it just be because I already installed updates an hour ago? lol. My nexus 6p didn't have these issues and I feel like a tech-newb right now...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] azel.c.antonio:
Solution found ?

I have found the solution to this issue. See steps below.

Step 1. Remove the simcard from your Samsung S7 or S8.

Step 2. Connect to wifi.

Step 3. Go to System Updates and Click Update.

Viola! Your phone can now be updated.

Any questions, do let me know: azel.c.antonio@gmail.com

I can't control my music player via Bluetooth. No pause/play/fwd/rev. Some issue for both Pairs of headphones and my bluetooth car radio. Audio p,as fine just no way to control it from the connected device.

Is it working for anyone else?

I'm listening right now to Bose QC35 and ev3rything goes fine. The player is neutron.

Search for options in your player ( settings)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] a3li:
For me, controls only work the first time you connect to the car. On the next drive, audio works, but not AVRCP functionality. Disabling and reenabling Bluetooth fixes it for one cycle.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Don't have that problem but maybe developer options and toggle "Disable absolute volume"? Might not work though because I'm not sure if the setting only covers volume controls or all controls but worth a shot
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] apetit:
Do you still have this problem?

I had my S8 repaired and since then I can not control music when connected to BT. With my Sont MDR-1000X I can skip tracks and lower volume but unable to start/stop. In my car none of the controls work. Tried other headsets with the same result. Repaired everything.

Coming from a factory reset because of the repair I am not yet feeling another one. Anyone got tips?

Status- stable

Its working and tested by me

U may encounter tz verification failed

For this use twrp to flash patched zip or u can edit updater script in patched zip file amd remove lines for verification of tz version (solved)

Will solve this asap
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] aadi50:
"asus.verify_trustzone() failed to read current TZ version: 2"

Getting above error on flashing.

I patched for installing in ext_sdcard.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
yes

I will solve this asap
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
u can use twrp to flash the patched zip

Or just edit the updater script and remove lines verifying the tz
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] aadi50:
So I removed line verifying tz and then patched zip and flashed from in-app and it flashed and then booted successfully.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
I had solved that tz fail

It will be fixed in the new update of tha app hopefully
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] aadi50:
Ok. Good work. I will try.

Can you confirm if app sharing works or not?? I tried but it never worked.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Kevin0916:
Error

It's showing device's codename asus_zool_93 is not recognized...error
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
Ok i will add this on next update

And please let me more codenames used for this device

I wil add that
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
If u want to work thid now

Then change ur codename in buuld.prop

To Z00L
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Kevin0916:
ohhk...thanks
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Kevin0916:
I think i will wait for the update...becoz the ro.build.product is showing Z00L....
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
Just change the value which is

Asus_Z00L_93 to ZOOL
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
new update released

Try that may be tz failed is now solved
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] aadi50:
Great.. Keep it up... It is solved. Out of excitement i tried to flash many roms, i flashed XOSP, RR, AICP, OCT_OS successfully. Getting error in bliss. See attached screenshot.

And one more thing to confirm?? I am unable to flash any patched rom through twrp recovery (using v3.1.0.0). Is it only me or is it a common error.

Im TWRP, error is something like "updater process ends with error 1".
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
thanks for testing app and reporting

I will solve both things asap

i recommend to use data slot

As using extsd slot will be slower due sd card write speed
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Kevin0916:
It's Working now...thanks mate :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
no app sharing support was dropped
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
have u tried extsd card slot

And how much it takes to boot extsd card slot rom?

In my case its not booting up
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] aadi50:
Actually, i have tried ext-sd slot only. ;) And it works fine.

I use more than 200+ user apps in primary rom, So I cant waste my internal storage on ROMs. So I Use Ext-slot only.

And I use Samsung 64GB Class 10 (80Mbps) and It works fine.

Flashing a Rom takes 7-10min (without gapps).

And even the booting time is rarely different. First boot may take more than 5-10min. But after that its always around 2-3min.

Sense OS took much time as its larger in size. Rest are almost as i described above.

Which ROM did u tried?? I would say try RR its the fastest in booting and flashing.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
ok thnks for testing

I tried aex rom and it just goes on bootanimation

I will try rr

And may be my sdcard is class 6 thats why i am getting problem
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] aadi50:
Screenshot. See Ext-Slot Only.

Also i want to add Halogen OS (xos), CrDroid, Mokee, SenseOS in the Rom's list (tried all on Ext-Slot).

I was unable to root sense Os, even after successfully flashing SuperSu/Magisk.

AEX flashed successfully but blank/black screen after boot animation (twice).
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] aadi50:
:p AEX is the only one that didnt booted after flashing successfully. Unlucky choice.Try any other it will boot
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
heheh

Yup

Going to resurrect

How to flash Stock rom with RR rom please guide me.

thank you.

Z00L
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] aadi50:
For having Stock Rom in dual boot....

* Install Stock Asus Rom As Primary. (You cant patch stock zip with DBP app)

* Root It and install DBP App.

* Patch RR ROM zip file using the Dual boot patcher app.

* flash patched RR using Dual Boot patcher.

Note: Dont use Lollipop Stock Rom in dual boot ... Bcoz any other Rom Will require atleast modem files updated to MM..
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Paresh18shah:

If i use back2stock zip. Then adding stock rom files . Can i patch that zip?

So after patch i can install stock as secondary!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
I suggest if u want to use stock secondary

Dont use the zip as it is

Rather use back2stock zip made for our device

And patch that back2stock for secondary and flash via in app flashing

Thank you.. got .. will do

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
Patch the rom for data slot or ext slot

Not as dual slot

Tried the same but unable to patch back2stock.zip but no success giving error unable to patch.

:(

Anyone tried successfully using other way then guide me.

Hi,

Z00L - Asus ZE550KL.

Primary ROM : Asus Stock MM latest

On Data partition : RR N latest

I backed up RR using dualboot apk .

I am trying to restore RR backup to secondary area but it is failing. If i restore to same data partition then successfully restoring.

Any suggestions
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
U cannot use secondary slot

Coz

There is not much space available there

As u have primary rom stock and stock rom takes almost full 3gb of system partition

U can install 2 custo. Roms in system partition
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] sachinm:
Thank you for quick reply.

Is it possible to increase partition size of any partition ?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
Regarding possibility

Its possible

But device will be messed up

So best way is to use extsd slot or data slot
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] sachinm:
Thanks.. can you provide some reference to edit partition.. will check if fine

Hey OP. Can I dual boot two custom roms having Android versions 5.1.1 and 7.1.2? The Lollipop one requires a lollipop firmware (of course) while the other one needs a marshmallow firmware. Can I do this?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
No it cannot be done

U need mm firmware for custom roms
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] sachinm:
yes.. i have android 7 & 6
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] aadi50:
You Can Have android 6 and 7 roms together but not android 5 with with any of 6 or 7... The reason is well known and an old issue.

Lollipop support modem files coming with stock lollipop zip only. It bootloops with mm modem files. And MM or N doesn't support lollipop modem files. So its a deadlock.

If I remember correctly, initial builds of CM13 (nightlies of beginning 1 or 2 month) doesn't require modem files to be updated.

Only we can Just Hope if somebody can patch or whatever do something out of box , to make universal modem files for us. :p
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:
Yes

And also why to use lollipop

When we have awesome nougats

And android o is also about to release

Hello team.

I don't want to use gapps always.

For ex on primary RR with Gapps and on secondary RR without Gapps. At the same time both os should use singal data folder so all user app will be available to both OS and whenever i need gapps then i will boot to primary else use secondary.

How i can do this?

All i had to install new ROM which removed DOSOS system partition data.

So went in AOSPExtended, restored dual/secondary system partition to restore DOS OS.

Any solution for this or this is only method to upgrade OREO rom.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] addy692:

You had to use twrp to update Oreo

Just backup ur secondary ROM

Is there anyway to change the default white color for th3 icons in quick settings....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] willymcd:
First thing I noticed when I fired up my new S8 was the pink hue along the edges, checked out the adaptive display settings and saw I could reduce the red, but it's still present along the edges, while the rest of the screen became too blue/white. also when you toggle between adaptive display and cinema, photo or basic; the adaptive display looks the worst on the sample picture, the colors are totally blown out, and detail is lost. but on any setting other than adaptive, the screen looks quite reddish. My friend also got an S8 and his has a fainter pinkish tint along the edges, but the whole bottom third of the screen has the pinkish hue.

Onto the camera, Other than having better dynamic range and low light exposure, It's just not as good as the S6 in good light. The S8 seems to have way less fine detail than the S6, pictures of tree leaves and needles look like mud and fine details disappear on the S8, while they look comparatively amazing on the S6, and this isn't because the S6 is over sharpened, it's because the S8 sucks at picking up detail. One more nitpick, the 4:3 camera aspect ratio, even though I do like it, looks silly on this silly long phone, huge black bars on either side, the S6 on the other hand looks much nicer with 16:9 phone and pictures.

Finally onto the colors. which is hard to judge on the phone because the screens colors seem to be off, but the S6 pictures look better on phone. Colors when put on my computer seem to be more accurate on the S8, though the S6 is not bad and its slightly more saturated colors and warmer tones make for very pleasing photos. Overall I would say quality of the photos is down with the S8, which is going against what all pro reviewers have been saying. I can post some comparison pics later, so you can see for yourself the muddy pictures the S8 takes

Everything else on the phone seems good, looks great and is better to hold in the hand with the same case than the S6. Of course there is bixby and other useless samsung crapwear that detracts from the phone as well. I mostly wanted to upgrade because the new phones are waterproof and have expandable storage, my 2 real complaints about the S6. I also was looking forward to slightly better photos, which obviously is not the case. but honestly, I don't think this new phone is any better other than its sleek exterior.

here is a link for pictures, S6 are the 16:9 and S8 are the 4:3 pics. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9qKZKZH22s0RXpqYk1VeTByTHM
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticales:
Im a S6 user too who has the S8

The Camera - For a storm chaser or nature wide angle shots, the S6 will be better due to 16 MP camera. This also allows that fine detail.

HOWEVER The S8 has more manual options and raw format, so for those of us who work DSLR cameras. We know how to make things awesome. Faster focus time here too.

The red tint you described is an issue with some people. Samsung claims its software related. Check with your carrier on swapping out possibly if you dont want to assume Samsung is right on the software update to fix it.

My only issue with the S8 right now is... no root. So cant transfer from Titaniumbackup to my S8 to make a handoff from one phone to another.

Bixby Vision for the s6 edge working in Touchwiz Home Launcher? Anybody?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soleali:
Hi guys!

Recently I updated my Galaxy S6 edge+ (G928C) to Nougat. Since the update installed I am facing two key charging issues that I am stating as under:

1. My phone battery doesn't reaches 100%

I have noticed that my phone is unable to reach 100% when its charging, it only only goes upto 98% or but fails to reach 100%. I have to replug the charger at 98% and then it goes to 100% that too slowly.

2. The phone now charges slowly

My phone was on Lollipop Android version and while fast charging it completed the charge cycle in approx. 1 hour and 15 minutes but now recently after updating it is taking extra 20 - 30 minutes more to charge completely (and that too if I replug the cable after 98% else it remains there). The fast charging option is even enabled in settings.

Is any one experiencing the same issues? I am worried if both of the issues affect battery life and I look forward to your suggestions and comments that might prove helpful.
