[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] paras:
You talk like a small kid man. Didn't you see the finger print scanner is at the back instead of front. So you could either get use to it or return your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] X_Fact0r:
You can press the power button and use the iris or face unlock as well as the passcode/pattern. Obviously, the iris and face unlocks would require you to align your face with the iris/face scanner. I hope that's not too much irritation for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] DesireHDScreenorgasm:
Thank you for your kind words. Yes I knew the fingerprint sensor is on the back, but I didn't think it through that I can't unlock the phone in a convenient way when it is lying next to me on the desk.

Guess I got so used to unlock via home button on my S7edge, that I didn't think about an alternative to it.

If I don't want to enter a passcode, I literally have to pick up the phone every time I want to unlock it, either by FP sensor on the back or by using the iris scanner, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] paras:
sorry for that. To I guess if you want convenience then facial recognition would be best. Otherwise I think maybe Google lock where you can make home require no security.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
Same problem here, i had to resort to using a pin to unlock it, the iris scanner would work but only if the phone is at exactly the right angle (which it wont be on a desk). Less of a problem for me as I came from an S5 where I never had the luxury of just pressing the home button to unlock with a fingerprint anyway so i always had to use a code, but it still irritates me.

This is what comes of rushing out a phone that isn't quite ready and having to stick the fingerpring scanner on the back, in the wrong place, at the last minute, instead of taking a few weeks extra to get it under the screen (there was no real pressure to release it right now, it's not like they were trying to beat an imminent iphone release or a christmas rush).

Red screens aside, my only real irritation with it is that fingerprint scanner, and the dirt that collects along the top edge of the glass where it meets the frame.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] AndroiderM:
Go into settings and set home button to unlock with force touch or whatever Samsung is calling it. This will wake display, then use pin, pattern, iris, or face unlock to open your phone. I'd suggest either pattern or pin if you don't want to pick the phone up at all. Not as fast as fingerprint scanner on front but will get you into your phone without lifting it from desk,counters,etc. Also keeps you from having to press a hardware button to wake display. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
Yes, the unlock options are irritating
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheBigEasy88:
I have 'Smart Lock' enabled and use 'Location'. I set my office as a 'Secure Location' which keeps the phone unlocked until I move it elsewhere. Big fan of this feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] DesireHDScreenorgasm:
I just tried the iris scanner, which worked the few times it tested it. But it seems like after waking up the screen I still need to swipe the little lock-symbol before I get to the Iris/passcode section.

This is now not only 1, but 2 steps more to unlocking. Even 3 steps if you count that I need to pickup the phone.

So from pressing simply on my S7edge home button in order to see my unlocked Home Screen, on my S8+ I now need to:

1. Wake the screen up by pressing power button or hold the home button for a second

2. Swipe the screen to get to the unlock step

3. Unlock via Passcode or pick the phone up to look into it like an idiot

From my point of view this went from SUPER convenient to "that escalated quickly" 3-steps inconvenience..... :(

I did not know that. Right there is one of the reasons I peruse XDA. Little tidbits of info that make life a little easier.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] DesireHDScreenorgasm:
I can't find this option in the settings. Where would it be?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] DesireHDScreenorgasm:
I understand, but I don't like this feature at all because the very idea of the lock is that only I can unlock it. With "Secure Location" anyone could access my phone, unless I have it stick to me all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] PoLoMoTo:
This is a setting, "Iris unlock when screen turns on" under the iris scanner settings....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] paras:
very true but I guess then you have to place it upside down for quick finger print touch like I do.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] willcor:
Maybe i can give you some pointers..?

This is my setup. Maybe you can improvise procedure a bit?

Only one step.!

Firstly, i don't use any lockscreen.Not necessarily. Stock or 3rd party (I have a few paid lockscreen options)

Anyway i normally use Gravity Screen app

(i have the paid version, Play store )

In Short it works on either motion or proximity sensor. Battery friendly,

If i pick phone up it turns on.!

if i put phone flat it turns off (sleep) No need for lockscreen.

Also has stock Smart Stay enable in Phone /Settings /Accessibility /Dexterity /Smart stay on. Wave your hand over phone to wake up.?

However,

Now and then i press power key to wake phone.

Otherwise i use above.

Use the 'Trusted Voice' option then. Voice recognition. Other than that, I think the answer to your question is to deal with it. It's a cell phone and not a robot. You can only do so much without having to actually pick it up. I think this is what my wife refers to as 'laziness' during her daily rants that I tend to ignore.

You know, you can pick up phone and not wake it up...place finger on finger print sensor and it unlocks and wakes up phone just like that. Kinda neat if you ask me, but thats only if you ask.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TomboIa:
Smart Lock could help you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bbegg:
I use the Easy Screen Turn On option which is under Settings -> Accessibility -> Dexterity and Interaction . This allows me to just swipe my hand over the phone when it is sitting on my desk and the screen powers up. I then have 'secure location' confirmed on my phone so I just need to swipe the screen and it is unlocked. You could use the 'secure voice' option instead of having to swipe the screen if you really don't want to have to touch the phone. I recall with my Note 4 I could wake it from sleep and actually ask it to tell me the current weather while I was in bed and the phone was on the bed stand. It seems this idea of having the process running in the background all the time to check for 'OK Google' was using up too much battery on the S8 plus I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] toby6570:
Even the Note 8 won't have the FPS under the display, so you would still be waiting for that option. From what I hear the Iphone 8 might not have any touch ID at all and will rely on facial recognition.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] chriss_android:
Hello people, i have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 there with the MTK processor. I replaced the complete LCD screen unit as it had the glass broken. We also accidentally destroyed/puntured the stock battery in this process, as it was very tightly glued in and we could not get it out at first. Tool was to sharp. So we ordered a replacement BN-41 Battery out of AliExpress, in a time when non were widely available.

Now the replacement battery is already in the phone, but it wont start-up with it. Despite it reads of 3.87V at its pins. Its rated at 3.85V typical. When i plug in the wall charger, the phone is starting but stuck in a bootloop.

I can access the fastboot mode with the charger plugged, but even when i let it sit there for hours, as soon as i unplug the charger, the phone shuts down immediatley. Also, when i unplug the battery cable from the mainboard while the phone boots or stays in fastboot mode, there is no change in behavior. So it does not matter if the battery is connected to the mainboard or not - same behavior. This leads me to believe the battery is not getting used be the phone.

So i measured the pins at the mainboard where the battery is plugged in, and it reads ~4.2V when i plug in a charger...

So energy is reaching this connection point from the wall charger but its not transfered into the battery, nor does the battery transfer its energy back into the mainboard - even when physically connected.

What is the issue here? Battery dead/fake? It looks a bit different than the stock battery. I read the stock battery has electronics in it that regulates charge/dischharge?

Thanks alot for any information or guesses....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] chriss_android:
Allright i tried the unbelievable... when i connect the battery connector a 180° turned, it powers on even without charger, but still stuck to that bootloop. I can access fastboot, but not recovery mode...

Fastboot mode on charger loads up battery - voltage increases.

Do you think the Mainboard could be fried because they mixed up polarity on the battery?

I have a HTC Touch Dual.

I just bought a bluetooth headset (SE DS220) which is working great - I listen to music and take/ring calls. However i have two strange issues I wonder if it is possible to fix:

1. While I am using the bluetooth headset my phone still rings if I receive an incoming call - I would like for the phone to be silent and for it to "ring" in my headset. If I turn off the sound in my phone then I can't listen to music either.

2. When I receive an incoming call I have to answer it with the button on the bluetooth unit - if I answer with the phone then the call is switched to the phones speakers. Is it possible to change this behaviour?

Thanks in advance!

I currently own the AT&T Snapdragon and overall very happy with the phone.

Unfortunately, I always want the best and fastest.

Is the Xynos S8 that much better?

Do I lose anything by going Xynos in comparison to AT&T Snapdragon version.

I'm still within return policy so need to make a decision soon.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] whoamanwtf:
It is not much better/faster, you will likely not notice any speed difference in normal use. You would however notice the much slower mobile connectivity of the Xynos by not being able to connect to LTE.

This is the thread for the unofficial builds for CM 14.1.

I'm using Nightcore500's device/kernel trees he created for LineageOS 14.1 so of course massive thanks and kudos to Nightcore500 for getting those working!! It's much easier to use another set of trees than manually convert the M8 trees to fit this phone!

Anyway this is the first build and it built. I have no idea whether it works or not as am not sure whether to test it on my only phone (!) but I think I probably will anyway! :p:silly:

It's attached on this post and I'll add more detail later on.

Cheers!

[HTC One Mini 2] Finusfix:
A question, can you please explain why you use the source code from nightcore and open a second thread in this you also provide CM / Lineage 14.1? That makes zero sense? oO
[HTC One Mini 2] Soenisti:
Ha! I haven't been reading the news...
[HTC One Mini 2] Finusfix:
May well be. Nevertheless, you can ask first if he is not already planning to publish the ROM if he already provides the source code for it.

I would not find it at least nice when i work hard on a project and then someone takes me away.

As long as nightcore is working on Cyanogenmod and / or Lineageos it should also be his work. This is one of the first code of honor of any xda developers. (Or generally any developers)

Please be so fair.

Any other type of ROM is open for you like Resurrection Remix, dirtyunicorns and so on.

This thread only creates confusion.
