[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jboucher614:
Is anyone else having this issue/know a fix? All the apps in the app switcher show up as blank boxes with just the name above it, even the app I'm in when I open the switcher shows an animation then goes blank.

G955U1 on AQE3 firmware, no package disablers

Could this be anything to do with Samsung's aggressive RAM management?

Is this an actual issue or is this how its supposed to be?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] willcor:
No, you are supposed to see app screen.

See screenshot.

Are you not using power saving?

Bottom line it's not supposed

to look like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jboucher614:
It looks like a reboot fixed it for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] willcor:
Yes, i also found at times, that a device reboot

sometimes, can "solved" issues.!

Yeah, I've noticed that I only get this issue when I go into multi window. I don't know how I can fix this without just not using multi window.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aubra:
Hi all,

I was driving home using gps and clicked on a message as it popped up, the phone itself went black and the Samsung logo appeared.

Now I tried the obvious holding the power button but nothing happened, then tried holding volume down and power which replicates a battery pull, which reset the phone but it was still frozen at the Samsung logo.

Upon getting home I tried going into recovery mode multiple times by resetting the phone then holding down, power, vol+ and home but however, I tried I couldn't get it to boot into recovery.

I was able to get it into Odin mode, downloaded the latest firmware 7.0 for SM-G920I xsa Australia which was installed previously before bricking itself.

The phone was never rooted or played with in anyway til this point.

Anyway, Odin successfully flashed the firmware without hassle but the phone still froze at the Samsung's logo and I am still unable to go into recovery.

I tried using a phone doctor to fix it using a fix for a similar SM-G920F which brought up red writing and was possibly the point in which Knox warranty void: 1 (0x0500) I can't be sure as I never really took in what was displayed before.

I reflashed back the 7.0 which got rid of the red writing error and tried using smart switch emergency recovery which successfully downloaded and installed the correct firmware but I was still stuck at the Samsung logo after a restart.

I was onto Samsung and apparently, my phone is from Singapore originally so I downloaded the stock rom for Singapore but Odin wouldn't flash it.

I have installed all drivers but the phone only connects to the PC during Odin mode, adb/fast boot can't see the device.

I've tried TWRP recovery but I still cant boot into recovery mode to wipe cache or anything so any Idea I explore seems to hit a dead end.

Usually, I get things working again but this one is really puzzling me I've already ordered a new phone.

It's a 128gb version less than 2 years old, seems such a waste.

Anyway, does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealWelder:
I don't have this device, but with most Samsung devices recovery is hold vol+, home, and power. Once the splash screen appears let off of power but keep the other two buttons pressed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiid:
I remember having this exact same problem about a year ago.. Now I'm not sure if this'll work for you since I was on MM at the time, but try downloading arters version of twrp, (my S6 would never boot to recovery with the official twrp) flashing via Odin and try booting into recovery. Flash a custom rom or restore a backup of you have one. Then from there you can try restoring to stock rom.

Possibly your emmc went bad... happens from time to time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aubra:
Dropped it down to the local phone fix shop, they couldn't fix the software problem either so they're going to try replacing the battery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aubra:
Seems like its a hardware issue, if I replace the whole motherboard off eBay with the same model g920I unlocked will that do the trick or will I have to start flashing networks, bootloaders, pit files and whatever else it needs to get moving?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BBRecon:
It is possible to flash ONLY a recovery using ODIN by making your own custom tar.md5. If you leave the pit files and userdata images alone, it shouldn't overwrite your personal data. You could reinstall the entire OS, boot sections, and even stock recovery.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Hey guys , it may sound weird but its quite dust and pollution where i live , but i had my s7 edge in leather backcover and front plastic protection because no quality tempered glass available here, so in edges there is some dust that gathers always and i clean it , but a strange and weird thing happens in usb charger port , firstly i can see much dust trapped there that i cannot clean due to it around inner walls , secondly there is greenish thing like pigment around its walls , and third the color around the usb charger port is scratched ! What could remove or scratch the color around it ? I never used anything other than its charger that came with box and usb on the go adapter that came with box , also to mention that green pigment was also around the charger's metal port that connects in phone , i cleaned it though . So should i dip my phone in water and clean its port with a small brush ? Or anyother advise please guys ...

Update : fast charging dont works now, but was working when i first purchased ( disabled it for heating issues ) holy s**t samsung ...

Update : just called samsung , they say its CORROSION DUE TO WATER ! WTF ??! They say its not under warranty and i had to pay charges if i want to get fast charging fixed ... they say if i dont fixed it now , the damage will increase by time ! How in the world did this could happen , when water didnt touched this !! Or this phone is a f***ng quality that even atmosphere humidity can do this ??! What can i do now ? Request to senior guys here .. please give me advice what to use or do because rubbing alcohol is good for cleaning it , but its not available here , any other good advice ? This is only two months old :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
I suspect that damaged color around usb port is due to that greenish thing .. where it comes from i dont know , but phone works totally normal , no heating issues or anything . Strange
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] :
Yep exactly what i was going to suggest, thankfully the s7 edge is waterproof :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
But what was this exactly bro ? Should i expect the worst that battery is leaking ?? And will be going to blast too ? Huh that was rather fearful , btw it is totally under warranty , so should i visit service center to make it checked?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] crixley:
Water resistant, and if the dip ruins his phone he's screwed so I'd hardly be recommending that to people.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] :
Lol

Edit: not interested anymore

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Im not sure what it is bro from what your describing i assumed it was due to dust and pollution like you said. If the battery was leaking i dont think your phone would be working fine :p

Sure if you are worried take it to a service centre first to get it checked out if they give you the all clear it just needs a clean
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] crixley:
Clean it with a q tip and some isopropyl alcohol. The phone is not waterproof contrary to some, it is water resistant and the difference is huge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Ah yes , but paint job is really bad guys , this area was the only one where was no covering and paint is peeling away even there is no other thing in contact with it other than charger , which i connect with enough care to not scratch the outside surface , but this is really bad aesthetic , i am afraid using alcohol could make this paint peeling even worse, and really can water ruin my phone ? Even if it is water resistant?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] :
not for something as simple as "giving it a dip" to clean it

i have and continue to use my s7edge underwater for cleaning & photography for months and its doing just fine.

Here is some info from Samsung about the s7's IP68 Dust/Water resistance

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00047867/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Ah , thanks bro , but regarding how color peeled off around the charger port that was the only naked surface of phone , i will rarely trust samsung as their ip 68 certification will be same in quality like their paint job quality :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] :
i understand your worry. it's an expensive device and although samsung boasts its water resistance unless you have extra insurance the standard warranty does not cover water damage lol.

You can try some cotton wool&tweezers / q-tip etc dampened with water to clean the port. Just make sure its dry before putting it on charge again afterwords :P

I find the cases i use tend to cause dust gathering in the open ports more.. maybe time for a new case when you are in these dusty/polluted place's? One that cover's the ports but still allows access(also wireless charging) like this http://www.poeticcases.com/revolutions7edge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] crixley:
I'm an Electrical engineer that designs for ip standards daily.

Go ahead but if it happens to get messed up they aren't going to cover it.

It's meant for an accidental dip only. I've seen many accounts of people who have ruined their phones this way, and and where his is showing potential signs of degradation it would be even more apt to failure.

I'm not trying to be rude I just don't want to see someone mess up their phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Thanks a lot bros , and no extra insurance here , just standard warranty and thats why i will never be doing any water dipping , thanks for case advice [MENTION=4532988]EasyAndroidPro[/MENTION] and thanks for your info [MENTION=4657791]crixley[/MENTION] i must get new case and clean this up , but i still dont get what is this greenish thing ? I suspect fungi ? Lolz. I dont believe this was the end result when you try to protect something expensive , and inturn it gets fungi :D and due to this maybe paint has also peeled off too
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Maybe any fungicide recommended too:D

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] paulyz:
s8 smaller screen and a little expensive. S7edge, same price, same screen size but slower chip, but BETTER camera, IP and etc
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ReyTheBoss:
ow yeah , if you are anything like me , you would give out the IP rating , beautiful display , sd card slot , and the possibly better camera ( even though i have faith that the double shooter of the OP5 can be better than anyshooter if the software n firmware parts are done well [eg. the EIS n processing of the Google Pixel] ) etc etc . you would give all this away just for the ROM differences

i can't live without Root , i haaate touchwiz and all the samsung ecosystem , and overall all the bloated skins , i crave stock to stock-ish android , and the ability to install whatever mod - patch - kernel - custom rom i want ... so just for that i'll never consider a samsung device ...

after all it depends on your choice and what ur looking for in a phone ... u can eaaasily use the iris scanner instead of the "misplaced" fingerprint scanner " ... and that's ONLY if you are really unpleased with it's position that much :silly:

How is the S8's 5.8 inch screen smaller than the oneplus 5's 5.5 inch screen?

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

I have the S8+ and the OP5 and as far as value goes you can't go wrong with the OP5 you get so much bang for your buck. I think oneplus took over Nexus's mantle and is exactly what nexus was supposed to be a truly customizable phone for the android enthusiast. I say go for the Oneplus 5 and I'm a big time Sammy fan.

I have an S8 now and in 99% of things the screen real estate is a total waste. The navigation buttons use it up and there is no way to remove them, atleast not on US phones. Games dont work right either as it crops the top and bottom if you make them full screen.
