[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] radarweave:
Ok everyone figured I'd come here to where the experts live. Haven't been here in awhile.

Recently my S8, wifes S8, and our sons S8+ all have the same issues.

The first issue is texts get stuck "sending". This happens with WiFi on or off, with wifi calling on or off, and I even tried changing off LTE to just 4G/3G/2G and even 2g in settings to see if that would help. I'm on the latest firmware from TMO ending in QEF, well we all are.

The other one is apps like FB and others aren't alerting but they will show the number of alerts even after they've been checked. I've reinstalled these apps and the problem persists, and then I can reboot my phone or wifes phone and all the alerts start working again for awhile and then die eventually.

The texting issue though persists and is random when it will hang and when it doesn't.

According to TMO rep at the store it's a bug in the firmware with bixpy that was pushed out, but I frankly don't buy it and figured I'd hit the guru's up here and see if you guys have any thoughts.

Thanks in advance guys and gals....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] rabilancia:
I too have had the random "texts get stuck sending" issue. I haven't had it in a while though (now that I've said that I'm sure I will).

I unfortunately don't have any suggestions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] esjames:
I ended up using googles version of messages due to this. Only on stock text app do i have any problems anymore. I also noticed on the stock app that my phone would say "sending" when the other side would actually get it, but it was at random.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
You don't have a cellspot repeater or router do you? Last time I had it, my device was hung and needed reboots. Just a thought.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] radarweave:
Thanks for the feedback, yes I have a cell spot, but I also have the issue other areas of town too with no real specific place thatbit always happens.

I'm going to reverse back from the qef firmware and see if that resolves things. This has been so annoying, and it just started about two weeks ago.

Thanks again everyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] anl2304:
I have had the same issue with sending texts too. I have been using the stock messenger app. I may just switch to textra.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] jsnoop:
Same issue here. A temporary fix, try turning on airplane mode and off. Works for me a times
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] ibjaredu:
Also happening to me on the XAA firmware (have unlocked NA variant) with the stock messaging and Google messages.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] rabilancia:
So I'll ask the question begging to be asked (at least by me): How does one disable this messaging app and use "stock messaging" app?

Thanks in advance....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] jongcruz:
Just get a app disabler for Samsung from play store like BK Disabler.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] xRuisuCepi:
If I were you, just download Android Messages. It's simple and fast.

However, I do not recommend disabling stock messaging, unless you don't like getting EAS (Amber/Weather/Presidential Alert)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Ljayhova:
Having the exact same issues and it's driving me crazy because I really like this phone. I don't get notifications for any of my apps but when I open them I can see the new messages. A reset seems to fix the problem but it only lasts about an hour before it starts doing the same thing. I've tried using different messaging apps but the same thing. And the fact that I don't get notifications for other apps it can't just be a text messaging issue right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] jsnoop:
Happened to me for almost 2 months but haven't had an issue in about a week. Called t mobile, they created a ticket and said they'll be working on it. Few days after speaking to them, problem went away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] hockeyhead019:
This has been happening intermitantly for me as well. It's been bad the past three days. I'm currently in coversations with T-mo's engineering team and they seem to be coming up with a bunch of dead ends. It's not a location based thing as it's been happening over a 20 mile radius in the past few days for me. Other people on T-mo network that I'm freinds with or I work with aren't having any problems. I'm wondering if just a fresh SIM card could solve it?

I have data connection although it seems a little sluggish compared to when I originally got the phone. Similar to OP I've tried all the "G's" modes, with wifi calling on, with it off, with cellular network preffered with wifi calling on and off. With Textra, with stock messaging app. I've factory reset to no avail. I've pulled and re-inserted the SIM card to no avail. This is incredibly frustrating for a flagship phone on a network where I've had no previous issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] hockeyhead019:
UPDATE: T-Mobile sent me a new SIM card and that seems to have cleared up the issues. Not sure if it just hapened to coincide with T-Mo tower fixes or anything else like that in my area but I'm back to normal operation. Anybody else experiencing this I recommend you push customer service to send you a new sim.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] balthuszar:
my husband and i are having a strange issue where we can message pictures and video clips to other people that don't have the s8, or aren't on tmobile and they'll send and receive just fine, but when we try to send to each other, the first attempt to send fails, but the second attempt goes through?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] fail9999:
i had same problem one of you is not using stock message app, if you check it ull find pictures all there i think its new messages plus thing
[HTC Droid DNA] piggyuniform:
So I am getting a used Droid DNA tomorrow with verizon. I would like to know if there is a possible bootloader unlock that works today. Most phone's don't like unlocking bootloaders but they have a website for this kind of stuff officially created by HTC >> http://htcdev.com >> so I'm sure that there is a bootloader unlock. But I'd like to ask you amazing people if it is still available as of today.

To simplify my wording, can you still unlock the bootloader on a HTC Droid DNA?

Thanks, Piggyuniform! ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] nikoman1987:
Yes,and it`s free,first you need to check your CID, if its like VZW__ etc. , you have to change it to HTC__032,there are so many tutorials,of course in xda forum there is a full tutorial how to unlock bootloader,and even you can S-OFF your device absolutely for free,just search.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Jayanyway:
The OnePlus 5 has those 3 options but I do not know the difference between them or which is best to use. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] t2jbird:

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Elnrik:
Both the phone and Bluetooth device have to support AptX for it to work, so often your issue resolved by that.

AptX will provide better sound than SBC. SBC is the default codec used by the A2DP Bluetooth profile.

So, in short, if your headphones/speakers have AptX, use that. If they don't, SBC.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] yubimusubi:
What happens if you choose aptX if your device doesn't support it?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Elnrik:
It will probably just switch to SBC so the connection will work, as that's the baseline standard in Bluetooth. I couldn't say with absolute certainty, as my OP5 hasn't arrived yet.

AptX is a proprietary thing - someone other than the Bluetooth consortium developed it and licenses it. That's why not everything has it - you have to pay to use it in the products you make. They created AptX because the default Bluetooth audio profile pretty much sucks when you start to examine how it butchers bit depth and sample rates just to cram audio data across a low power wireless signal.

On the flip side of that coin - yeah, AptX is better (and I'd use it if both devices supported it) but the audio quality differences are probably not going to readily apparent when listening to $20 to $50 Bluetooth devices. It's been my experience that it takes a somewhat trained ear and better-than-good equipment to be able to easily spot the difference. So, if you're an audiophile, you probably already know to stay away from Bluetooth for the best quality sound. If you're not an audiophile, try to use the best Bluetooth profile you can, but don't sweat it too much.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] daniel_loft:
The A2DP profile is negociated at pairing and the best supported by both devices is picked (SBC < AptX < AptX HD). Problem is that the codec is just one link in the whole daisy chain. Other equally important aspects:

- music source quality (don't expect 128 kbps CBR mp3 to sound good)

- DAC and amplifier (each and every sound system that converts bits to sound has these!)

- speakers (from those in IEM's to those in BT boom boxes - they are all speakers)

So just that you're using AptX doesn't imply you are listening to high quality sound and probably implementing AptX and putting its logo on the product is the cheapest and least development intensive way to raise the price of a product.

Just my two (euro) cents... :p
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] joergwrage:
Hi,

The question here is how the phone behaves when a higher quality codec has been selected (eg aptX) and a standard bluetooth headset (SBC - only )has been connected?

So far it seems to work (but then the question is why there is a selection available)

Best Regards

Joerg
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] daniel_loft:
My wild guess is that tis setting acts like a low-pass filter threshold. The phone will negotiate the highest available option without going above setting.

If the setting is AptX, the phone and speaker support AptX HD, the connection will be made at AptX quality. If the speaker only supports SBC, the connection will be made with SBC.

Honestly I don't see the point in such a setting. 99% of the people would want the best quality available anyway.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] aa_chow:
Is there a power consumption difference?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] yubimusubi:
It makes sense to have the setting *if* for some reason you want to force SBC or the non-HD aptX. I have it set to aptX HD right now and it seems to work with my car (I'm about 95% sure it doesn't support aptX).

The real question is, if it fails back appropriately, why on Earth would OnePlus set the *default* to SBC?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] daniel_loft:
[MENTION=4524068]aa_chow[/MENTION]: There surely is a consumption difference. SBC was designed decades ago with low computational complexity in mind (among others). On the current smartphone hardware (which is probably on par with a medium desktop from 5-6 years ago) the difference would be so small that measurements are impossible (you might see a difference on the battery life of the speakers, but I wouldn't loose my time there) .

[MENTION=3856143]yubimusubi[/MENTION]: I cannot even find the reason why that setting is even there! It only limits the best usable codec, which makes no sense to me. Maybe you can find more answers on the oneplus forums.

Is there a way to correct it?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] masondoctorjt:
Anyone have the v20 USB port malfunction like this. It's not software as I factory reset 3 times. When my phone is unplugged it keeps popping up the notification to use the phone as power source. Sometimes it will vibrate over and over turning the notification on and off like it's being plugged in and unplugged over and over. T-MOBILE is sending a replacement, but I just wondered if anyone else experienced this. It is ashame because I bought this phone at launch, and it's been flawless otherwise. It just started doing this, this week.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] esqueue:
Mine started doing this about one month ago. After resetting a few times, it still did it. I pulled the battery for a few minutes and cleaned the terminals on the battery and the phone, I also used an alcohol dipped napkin and cleaned the USB port as best as I could. Oddly enough, something fixed it. I couldn't tell you which.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] masondoctorjt:
I called and they sent me a warranty replacement. Oddly enough, it took about 4 days to get it. My phone though stopped doing it 2 days before the other phone arrived. I replaced it anyway, but am curious as to whether it will would've done it again. It was very annoying when it was happening

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
Hi all,

I have two thumbnail files sitting in DCIM/.thumbnail

thumbdata3--1967290299 which is 4.93GB and thumbdata--1763508120 which is also 4.93GB.

Of course deleting them doesn't help because they are regenerated.

So is it possible to control their size? reduce them? or at least, not having two thumbdata files?

Thanks!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruvy:
You can start with cleaning up the images you do not want. Deleting .thumbnail folder is not going to help as it gets generated as soon as you open your gallery.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPusak Gaoq™:
In theory, Thumbdata will get bigger and bigger if there new picture appears on your gallery so the more picture you have the bigger thumbdata it will be...now here is the catch, the thumbdata size will not be reduced automatically if you delete a lot of picture on your gallery cause every data in it will remains forever until you delete the thumbdata and let the phone regenerate/re-index all the picture all over again....

so you solution, delete unwanted picture in your gallery then delete thumbdata and thumbdata3 too then reboot your phone a let the gallery re-index everything....you will see the differences in size once you deleted unwanted picture and thumbdata/thumbdata3...if you only delete unwanted picture, thumbdata size will remains the same and if you delete thumbdata/thumbdata3 without deleting the unwanted picture, same thing will happen...

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armadilloisbest:
So basically, I fell asleep and left my phone charging and when I woke up, the green full charge light was on but nothing made the phone turn on. I tried holding the power button for 30 secs, holding the power and volume down button for awhile, and basically all sorts of button configurations but nothing seems to work. The light stayed on for a couple hours until I'm assuming the phone died. I spoke to a samsung employee and after I told him about the root, he said that the samsung had some kind of ota update that kinda bricks a rooted phone and that I'm basically screwed. Im not sure if that was just him being a samsung employee or not, but either way I'm sure it has something to do with it. Is there any way I can completely reset the firmware in it so I can at least use it again? I plugged it into my wall charger and computer with absolutely no sign of life. This seems like a very hard brick that most likely is the end for the phone, but before i go spend 200 dollars on a phone upgrade, is there anyway for me to get the phone working? Or on? Any help or advice is appreciated, thank you.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] espionage724:
I've started using microG on my phone recently, and Android Wear doesn't run on it. I'm wondering if there's much else I could do at all with this watch now outside of using some of the default apps (alarm, timer, fit, flashlight, etc)? Currently, my watch serves as something to check the time/date with, and a step counter.

I've tried FitWear, but I had a hard time trying to update it, and trying to connect to WiFi crashes the settings. Outside of that, it didn't really look like a platform I'd be able to use happily.

I've also tried AsteroidOS; really neat, but Bluetooth support would be more ideal. Using it standalone would be fine, but from what I can tell, there's no way to take it out of 24-hour clock mode.
