Samsung Pay on that model is only meant to work in the US.

Hi thanks for the reply, is it possible to flash a UK firmware to get it work, I know UK has the G950F version and exynos processor, so bit worried if if would be a risk to take. Or is there anything I can do to change the location
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
You can't flash any Exynos firmwares on a Snapdragon device. And there are no UK firmwares available for a 950U.

The best I can suggest is to (if possible) uninstall the Samsung Pay app and framework, and install the ones from APKMirror and see if that works then.

Hi, i bought s8+ from dubai (Model SM-G955FD). Is it possible to flash indian firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
If you're in India, just download any OXM firmware, and flash it on your device WHILE AN ACTIVE INDIAN SIM CARD IS INSERTED.

You'll be on the Indian CSC and stuff like VoLTE and all should work fine.

Do Samsung US versions work fine in Pakistan

Hi Murtaza,

Just wanted to check which is better to buy in Pakistan if I am not looking to root the device or install custom ROMs. I have the option to buy two types of Dual SIM variants of Samsung Galaxy S8 +. The first is the international version G955FD and the second is an Xfinity version 955U.

Which would run better in Pakistan? I am getting the US version cheaper and just wondering if there is a reason? As far as the benchmarks go both Exynos and Qualcomm versions are almost at par as per YouTube videos. So is there some other issue? Or is it just because the US versions are priced lower in the international market.

Secondly kindly confirm your comment about the second SIM being only 2G. As per my understanding, if I switch the data network, the other SIM becomes 4G as well. Or in the case of SO, I will have to physically shift the SIMs.

Would really appreciate some support on the above two queries.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Hi Sikander,

Choice is entirely yours, if you are not planning to root, then it doesn't really matter whether you get the G955FD or the G955U.

However, do not get fooled by the shady shopkeepers in Pakistan. The Xfinity G955U (or any G955U for that matter) is NOT Dual-SIM, it is only available in Single SIM, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

The only Dual-SIM Exynos version of the S8+ is SM-G955FD.

As for which would run better in Pakistan, doesn't make a difference again. 2G/3G/4G will work on both of them. And yes, the 955U is cheaper because US variants are generally priced cheaper here due to lack of warranty and whatnot.

The second SIM is 2G only when SIM 1 is in 4G mode. Without physically changing SIMs, you can change SIM 2 to 4G, but then SIM 1 will be changed to 2G.

Also, I have to update. It's not 2G only, it's actually 3G/2G.

So if SIM 1 is in 2G/3G/4G mode, SIM 2 can be in 3G/2G or just 2G mode, depending on what you choose. Network modes can be changed around on the slots without physically removing the SIM slot and swapping them around so you don't have to worry about that.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Regards,

Murtaza

Dear Murtaza

I don't actually buy phones from local vendors anymore. One doesn't really know if they sell New or Reburbished models.

I generally buy from Homeshopping.com, and I have ordered at times from Daraz.pk.

The phone options I was looking at are as under.

https://homeshopping.pk/products/Samsung-Galaxy-S8-Plus-G955F-Price-in-Pakistan.html

https://homeshopping.pk/products/Samsung-Galaxy-S8-Plus-Orchid-Gray-Price-in-Pakistan.html

The first one is the Xfinity version and second is the FDD version. Both are with non official warranty, but getting it with warranty is around 12 K more. But I haven't had any issues with their devices so far.

Any idea about the 955FX version. My Cousin got one about a week back, but I am not sure which variant is that, as it is not even posted on GSM arena. Supposedly it is Dual SiM and an International variant. Still have to do a Abit of research on it.

I switched over to Chinese version a few months back. Very impressed with the phone in all aspects, but the only issue is that the Navigation is useless. The GPS keeps bouncing on GMaps. Its elephone S7. The other issue was Wi-Fi reception which is not that great. I think it was a radio issue, but not sure whether it was hardware or software. There is not much ROM development for the phone. Otherwise it would have been a great phone, with almost a vanilla ROM and hardware specs close to a flagship.

Anyway, just decided to go for a branded phone this time.

Waiting for the Black Friday deals to come up. Might buy the note 8 or S8 plus. Let's see.

Thanks once again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
955FX isn't a model number, 955X might be one but that's the demo / display unit used in stores and that has no cellular radio or SIM slot.

Do confirm the model number with him and then see.

Be cautious with HomeShopping though.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sikander5:
Will confirm the model number. I am pretty sure it's not a display version as he is using it. Will confirm once again.

Ok. Thanks. Will do on both counts. I have been buying stuff from Homeshopping since 6 years when I bought my first And if HTC Desire Z. Not had any complaints, but some people in my family have.

Take care.

SM-G955FD Dual Sim - CSC United Arab Emirates

I Purchases this phone in Kuwait. I travel around the world a lot and one function I've noticed not in this phones software is Wi-Fi calling. When I'm not traveling I'm on the USA on the T-Mobile network. Which software can I change the phone to to get Wi-Fi calling to work? Would Deutsch Telekom (T-mobile Germany) be the one to use for my dual SIM? Do they even make a dual sim for Germany? Please, any help and/ or direction would be awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
WiFi calling is carrier based. So it'll only work when you've got the SIM from your main carrier and the same carrier firmware to go with it.

Sent from my SM-G955F
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JR5968:
I got a UK unlocked s8 at the moment and Wi-Fi calling works flawlessly with a o2 sim. So I think if you have a carrier unlocked phone, it's up to the carrier

So, I updated to the latest update for TMobile. Android 7.0 Baseband Version: G955USQU1AQDE

I went to use the Edge Apps that were there before which had a bunch of apps that I had assigned to the edge app that I ran on a regular basis and it was gone. It was now just Smart Select. I had no idea what happened to the Edge App that let me add apps as a shortcut. I looked at what was now available and this app launcher was gone. I had to download an app from the Play Store called EdgeBoard Favorites that does the same sort of thing.

Anyone else lose stuff when they upgraded to the latest OTA?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
I lost it too! Wtf man? How can we get that back?!?!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xile6:
Reason why i dont do updates unless it really adds something.

Bit have you try to go into the edge settings and see if maybe it just uncheck that panel?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sanjsrik:
Like I wrote above. From the samsung store, download Edgeboard. It's free and it works better because you can add a single line (or multi-line) row of apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
No problemo here, edge app and everything assigned to it was there after the update.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sanjsrik:
Because it IS gone from the edge panel after the update, on Tmobile, is why I posted the topic. It's no longer there when I updated the Tmobile version.

Odd. I updated to ADQE on TMO, and still have my Apps Edge.

Guys what the hell, why this phone and Nexus 6p drops 2% of battery pratically every time? Some users says that the fault is of Doze, and some says that is bad battery. Just answer three things

[Question 1]

This problem is a software based or hardware? And if is software, there's some how make it stop doing this? It's annoying and makes me sick with the time of usage .

[Question 2]

Why in the hell some users have this issue and some not? That's a russian roullete? Really I'm mad.

[Question 3]

Are you getting this problem? Already solved this? Suffer yet with and doesn't even know how to troubleshoot this?

GRR really. I'm mad. And seems that happens on the same percentages, 99% to 97% 95% to 93% 90% to 88% and there it go...

note: When the phone is under 60% to 100% it stay in a temperature of 35º, and you feel your phone a little hot, but when it arrives at the 50% ~ 60% down, it seems to be a little less hot, is that the processor's core being shutten down in order to give priority to the battery?

REALLY I can't understand the behavior of this phone. It's really strange, and how I never had one, I have no parameters to make any comparison.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
It doesn't seem to be set at certain percentages but rather starts at where the battery is when you go there and then goes down by 2% at a time. I've never sat around and watched it before and it certainly doesn't irritate me. I have a one percent battery on my statusbar I can watch if I need something more accurate.

I'm having some weird things happen with the iris scanner. The phone will be sitting on my desk and randomly the screen lights up and goes to the iris screen with the red light on. Anyone else seeing this? Happens 1-2x a day. I'm thinking if this is something to do with some sort of movement sensor, it could be causing my battery drain since I see very high sensor usage in BBS.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Outbreak444:
Try disabling the iris scanner and see if your screen still randomly turns on. You may just have some other issue causing your screen to turn on, thus causing your iris scanner to start running since it's on the lock screen.

This. Because my phone had same issue and was a defect in the home button. Exchanged the phone and its gone now. Does it also vibrate like pressing the homebutton?

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng3:
So I hear that Xposed still does not support Nougat. I'm running Xpower 5 (MM) right now and would really like to try LineageOS os CarbonOS (Nougat). However, I'm hesitant to give up xposed. I use Amplify, AppOpsXposed, Gravitybox, Play store changelog, and Greenify. I'm not that familiar with Nougat at its new features. Is Greenify or Amplify or AppOpsXposed even necessary anymore with Nougat, or does it equiv functionality. I mainly use Greenify to keep apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, etc under control. I can probably live without Gravity box. The main features I use there are "Pin scramble" and "data traffic monitor".

For those Nougat users out there that previously used Xposed, how much are you missing it?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 64erbaz:
I flashed back to Marshmallow because i don´t want to use the phone without xposed. Still hoping, Xposed will be available for Nougat.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bofis:
Eh, I flashed the newest Nougat rom on mine, giving up xposed, but still keeping ROOT, greenify, etc, and I have to say, my phone has never performed better and battery life has been great even without Amplify. Besides not being able to have a persistent menu key or more volume steps, I don't miss xposed at all really.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng3:
The only things I was using xposed for was gravity box which gave me the status bar battery bar at the top and the status bar network activity indicator. I can live without them. I'm sure I can find an app for the later, maybe not the former
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] :
I know this may seem really stupid but I cant seem to find the option in my settings app to show the battery usage graph and what app has used what percentage of battery. Am I blind or is it actually missing lol.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community.

Unofficial LineageOS Builds

Pixel XL (marlin): https://updater.invisiblek.org/marlin

Pixel (sailfish): https://updater.invisiblek.org/sailfish

Google apps

Google apps (opengapps nano) are baked in to these builds. This is due to the A/B partition layout and complications backing up/restoring gapps between builds. This is not ideal, and is the major road block to getting this device in to official status with Lineage. I also include the Google camera app rather than Camera2 or Snap since it works much better.

Source

While I update the official LineageOS trees with completely usable source, these builds include a few more experimental things than what I would include in official Lineage builds, pending that ever happens. The device and kernel repos that these builds are based off are from my github.

Installation

The easiest way to install LineageOS is to load up twrp (see twrp thread on how to do that) and flash the zip from above for your pixel variant (marlin/sailfish). After that, the built-in updater app should handle future updates via A/B updates within android. Beware this feature is still a work in progress and can be broken at any time as well. If for whatever reason the install fails through the updater app, loading up twrp again and flashing a newer zip is perfectly acceptable.

The LineageOS team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!

How come gapps are still baked in when there are working gapps for pixel? Beans gapps works fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Glad to see this finally getting an XDA thread so it gets more awareness. I only knew this existed prior due to the questions and answers thread.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheNewNEXUS:
I know OP says it comes with nano gapps. But does that mean that it has all the essential pixel gapps. I can't find myself using the also ones. I wish there was a flashable stock gapps package
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
You can't flash beans full gapps? Actually it will probably just have duplicates since gapps are already installed
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] messiahfreedom:
Having issues with youtube. Is anyone having issues?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheNewNEXUS:
That is correct. However, the there are still those aosp apps that don't hold a candle to the Google alternatives. I am super used to flashing the stock Google package on all my phones. I guess I will just stay on stock May Factory Image until I find one with all pixel features. Lineage OS is one of the most stable ROMs that I have came across.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] invisiblek:
What apps are you looking for that can't just be downloaded from the play store? Any of the AOSP ones can be disabled, so you never see them (yea a bit of a pain but you only have to do it once per app that you replace from the play store). For instance, I install google's calendar app and disable the AOSP one. You can do the same with any other app as far as I know.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheNewNEXUS:
All apps are on the Play Store. I will end up disabling them I guess

So this is the May O build. It's been said all over the forums but just to nip it in the bud here, don't go trying to flash a different kernel that isn't signed or use Chainfire's zip to sign the kernel, otherwise you'll get stuck in a boot loop. The May bootloader update made it so it won't boot with an unsigned boot image.

[MENTION=428495]invisbl[/MENTION]ek Great to see you here I've always been a big fan of your work unfortunately I haven't had a device for several years where you were making ROMs for. I'm generally not a fan of lineage but will give this a try just because you built it.

I noticed in the kernels git that you have WALT enabled across the board, but the official spec is to use PELT with EAS - new for rev 1.2. did you have a reason for choosing Walt? It isn't a big deal anyway, assuming the properties are exposed users can use ex kernel manager to turn Wall off and turn Pelt on.

Also 8 branches, 6 active you've been busy! I take it the default 14.1 branch is the kernel used in this ROM? I see all sorts of new stuff across your code and am very thankful you've came over to pixel development.

A side note in regards to build to Verizon users:. I flash the modem and radio from the L build as its May's Verizon only and I don't nearly have as many problems with signal retention. It didn't completely fix the problem but it's definitely been improved. and when I say retention I mean I'll be at the same location and my pixel will suddenly lose signal completely for a random period of time and then go back to having a signal. This used to occur very often the phone would be intolerable without Wi-Fi calling but the L build which specifies it's Verizon only must have had some changes in it to improve this.

Looking forward to trying your work. Thanks for your time and effort!
