[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] djubre7:
I get your meaning and I appreciate it. And I would wholeheartedly agree with you, if not for the fact that a plastic J5 that I use for work sounds firmer and better/fuller than S8 on the back, and it's a floating piece of real plastic attached only at the edges as well. In fact, I'd rather expect J5 to survive submerging than this one. The screen feels like glass, the back does not. The problem is that I think it wasn't that pronounced when I first unboxed it. I can't be sure however.

On the other hand, I definitely want a 700€ feel on a 700€ phone. This is not being spoiled, it's that If I'm paying for the S8 for the next 6 months, i want an S8 and not Xiaomi. In other words, i want to feel happy that I spent 700€, I don't want to feel tricked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] djubre7:
So, here it is what i mean. The sound can't be heard very well because of the lousy J5 camera, but the wobbling is clearly seen.

Is it everyone's that wobbles this much in the middle or just mine?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
I have the s8+ and i do not have this wobble you mention. tapping shows it seems hollow around the centre but i expect this as the back glass is secured around the edges where it is solid. It's the same with my s6.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AdrianE46:
Oh wow. I retract what I said. Mine is very sturdy compared to that. No wobble at all. Just seems "less solid than a solid ingot of glass". I can kinda hear a bit of hollow space behind the glass, but that's stretching it.

Yours seems defective. Very much so.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] djisgod:
yeah yours is definitely not right. there is no give in mine at all. it sounds hollow in the middle but that is all. return yours
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] djubre7:
Yeah, today's exactly 7th day since I got it. I'll have to do it tomorrow because of work, and it's gonna be a darn ordeal convincing Telenor that it's a defect.

The procedure is they'll send it to a certified repair service, I'll get some junk replacement and probably gonna get it back 2 weeks from now at best. I'll have to see if I'm able to pull some strings so that I at least get a new device afterwards and not the "here we repaired it" same one, as my company is one of their important (lol) clients.

"Certified service partners" are very protected here, as opposed to consumers.

I'd like to have with me an example of a proper one, though. Or a video...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] djubre7:
A question. Our company's technician says that he saw all the tests about s8 as he wants to buy it, and that the back glass has to be bendable, so that in case of breaking it doesn't shatter to pieces, but remains composite. It sounds plausible enough, but why the screen is not as bendable as the back, it's the same G5 glass?

Could it be that you guys check on different lighting conditions if it bends a bit? In the video I made I barely pressed the back at all.

I don't want to go through the whole return procedure just to get it back with the same explanation. It would mean a lot to me.

Thanks in advance

I had the silver one and it was for sure glass but now I have the all black and im pretty sure it's plastic

Back cover is plastic

I bought a brand new Galaxy S8 plus from Sprint. Just opened it to replace charging port. The back cover on mine is plastic
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Why would you open it to replace the charging port if you bought it brand new you just voided the warranty Doesnt make much sense As all the S8s brand new are most def glass
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Wooley59:
Back glass is plastic

I bought the phone new from Sprint more than a year ago when it first came out. Recently I had to open it to replace the charging port. When I removed the back cover it was plastic.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
There is no way I assure you if its a legit device it was glass That is part of the advertisement specs and all.Only option was sprint was selling clones or it was a refurb with a aftermarket back witch is highly unlikely as even Company's like Assurion use glass backs

Now the glass will have some flex to it not much I wouldn't suggest bending or such.

If its not real glass its either been replaced or said above

You'll need to modify the framework probably to get this function (not a dev but I am aware of how some of the mods are modified). On stock no way as far I know, maybe try one of the old lollipop custom stock roms?

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] remialfa:
Hey,

I don't remember but one rom which I tested encrypted my storage, I know the pattern key to unlock it but it's very irritating. What's more... I'm on xiaomi.eu rom now and I updated it yesterday up to latest version. It was dirty updated. Just downloaded package and updated form twrp. After reboot some apps don't want to open or they are opening like 5 minutes, literally! Apart that I can't access internal storage neither on phone nor at computer. Camera can't make photos cause there is no storage at phone.

What happened? How can I decrypt storage to get rid of this pattern while booting or flashing roms?

And what happened to. rom after update?

Can you help me guys?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] shaneel1491:
I think flashing SuperSu then going to settings (in ROM) and disable security then reboot should disable it, worked once for me, but another time it didn't.. I think this feature is called secure boot or secure startup
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] faisalsiddiqui:
Hi,

I have a tmobile wing and I got the phone a few days ago.

This is my first windows mobile phone and therefore i don't have much experience and knowledge here.

I am facing a problem that has surfaced three time in the last week or so. The applications that i have on my storage card become unavailable and when i try to open the applications i get an error saying that sd card is not available. Also starnge folders with strange names (a lot of different characters such as boxes appear on the storage card and i am unable to delete them, where it says that there are system files in these folders).

The problem is only resolved if i do a hard reset and format my storage card by using a card reader (format of the card is essential as even after doing a hard reset the storage card does not become available). Initially i thought that it was some problem with the applications that i had on my phone but now since this is the third time that this has happened I am worried that there may be something wrong with my phone. Since my phone is still under warranty i can return it. So please advise rearding the same. The applications that I normally have on my phone are as follows,

a) Resco file explorer and Registry explorer

b) SK Tools

c) Opera Explorer

d) Mio Maps

e) Google Maps

f) Space time

g) CE Convertor

If this has something to do with the offical wing ROM, please advise which ROM to use as again I'd like to iterate that I am totally illeterate regarding this. What I want is a ROM that gives me plenty of RAM so that I can run my GPS software and MP3's at the same time, other than that there are no special requirements and I don't need plenty of pre-installed applications.

Thanks for your help!!!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Did you set your temp for IE to the SD?

This tends to do it for me.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] faisalsiddiqui:
Yes I read somewhere that this helps and I did shift my internet folders to the storage card.

So is this the culprit??
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] duprade:
Do a search for SD Card Corruption and you'll find this is a very common problem

These are just a few topics from the Herald forum only ... but if you search the whole site, you'll find alot more. Basically, you can't install anything onto your SD card that needs to run all the time... so anytime ur phone hibernates, if you have a program running from the SD card, it will corrupt your SD card.

Corrupt SD card

MicroSD keeps coming up with corruption

virus on wing!?!?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] faisalsiddiqui:
Thanks a lot for your help, i guess i will be more careful now.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] duprade:
I make a weekly copy of my whole storage card in case I lose everything. I'd suggest doing the same.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] h4ckii:

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] shaell:
Hi Faisal Aswk,

I had the same problem for many days when i first purchased my Wing. The folder names used to get corrupt and the applications could not be accessed. At first i thought it was the ROM. I tried several ROMS but the same problem resurfaced. Then i was led to believe that my microSD card (Kingston 1gb) was going bad. I then bought a Sandisk 1gb. Everything worked fine with the Sandisk. No corruption for weeks, up until one day i formatted the Sandisk card using the windows format utility and the corruption reappeared. Later i did some research and found out there is special formatting on microSD cards to be able to function properly with devices. I assumed the Kingston did not have that sort of formatting. I reformatted the kingston card using a panasonic utility suggested by a user in one of the XDA forums. Here is the link...

http://panasonic.jp/support/audio/sd/download/ftp/sdfv2002.exe

I am using the Kingston MicroSD now. 3 months till date and no sign of corruption. I have both PIE and Opera Cache on there. I have several MP3 files i keep moving around, stored and deleted several 500+ MB movies files. All my applications are installed on that card.

I cannot say for sure that it was coz of the special formatting, but i have strong hunch that it is. Hope this fixes your problem and for others as well.

:)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NYTWBEN:
Hi Everyone,

My Verizon S7 Edge has a minor crack on the top right corner of the screen. It is not too bad and I can't afford the repair. I attached a pic so you can see the damaged phone. The crack does not really affect the phone's functionality much at all. Will a screen protector prevent the crack from spreading? If so I would really appreciate your suggestion as to which screen protector or screen protector / case combo would work best for this specific crack. If someone has another solution besides getting it professionally repaired, please feel free to share.

I love the phone and want to keep using it.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dollar7:
Fortunately it's not a touch zone so glass screen protector should do the job.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Muffycheeks:
Super Glue and a toothpick with a steady hand.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NYTWBEN:
Thanks for the advice.

I spent way too much time looking through the screen protector threads. Wow....

It seems like all the glass ones just use a little glue around the edges of the phone's screen. Will that small amount of adhesive be able to keep the cracks from spreading?

Any recommendation as to which one I should use for this specific purpose? I feel like i have to use a case and a screen protector going forward, which also seems a bit problematic with glass screen protectors. These curved screens really complicate things...

Seems that an activated A-GPS breaches privacy on andriod phones.

Here's an interesting read about it:

http://mobilesociety.typepad.com/mo...veals-my-identity-and-location-to-google.html

Seems to be activated on common custom roms as well.

I prefer to remove the SUPL server (supl.google.com) from the gps.conf (system/etc) and having more priacy over a faster gps fix.

I think custom roms should have the SUPL server deactivated by default and display a warning that on activating the SUPL server privacy gets breached.

The blog of the guy who wrote about it has always some interesting stuff to read:

https://blog.wirelessmoves.com/
[Security Discussion] Izzysoft:
Afraid just commenting it out won't do much good (but simply revert to some defaults). Better replace supl.google.com by 127.0.0.1 to make sure. OTOH, if someone knows a privacy-friendly SUPL server, I'm all ears.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] gcsuri:
Hi All,

I'm on Lollipop bootloader. I remember that I haven't got any answer from Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader but I could install cm 13 somehow dirty way.

If there any method to make the same with Nougat bootloader because I have made a try again but SMS didn't arrived ?

What is the advantages of the Nougat bootloader? Can I use Nougat blobs with the old bootloader?

best regards, gcsuri
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] cezarmed2:
Sometimes SMS does not arrive. You have to verify directly within the app.

Also, permission is transmissible meaning you can burrow an account that already has unlocking permissions.

You can't install a ROM that uses Nougat bootloader, like RR 5.8.3, if you have lollipop bootloader. That's all.
