[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] B3RL1N:
Mine took 15 days and was at a pretty "busy" time for them. - I do know they restarted the trade-in deal, so perhaps they're swamped again.

To answer your questions about trade in and devices, I sent in a Moto E XT830C and I didn't get approved, but others who sent in the exact same phone did approved. The AP article lists the XT830C as "Moto E 2015 (Verizon prepaid), purchased for $10 on Black Friday 2015" under the accepted category. (The phone is actually worth more than $10 now, so if anything I got screwed only getting payed $25 for it)

I was late to send in my phone since I wasn't 100% sure if I wanted to keep my S8. My assumption is Samsung got overrun with cheap devices which met their specs and started off just approving everything but realized they were getting screwed. So while the first batch got approved, they caught on and started coming up will bull excuses to not accept devices. Like mine being broken when it wasn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
There is so much going on... mine and my friends trade ins are still showing as delivered. There is a thread on Reddit and where one user sent in a trade in device and Samsung got it at the end of June. Looks like the status wasn't updated either and it still showing delivered similar to mine. User also reports that there were no charges of $175 or any emails confirming the approval or denial of the trade in.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
Today status of trade-in changed to "Confirmed" from "Delivered" Would be very helpful to find out if confirmed means verified and all is done.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Vitamin_D:
Mine is saying the same thing as of today. I can't remember what that means.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
Did you send your phone in? I remember reading that you had 2 phones, but weren't sure about sending them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Vitamin_D:
I sent my Nexus 4. I know the Nexus 4 isn't considered one of the better Nexus phones but I really liked the look and feel of the phone and really didn't want to give it up but it was just sitting in my desk losing value and gathering dust.

I was very hesitant over sending them a phone after reading all the negative stories but I figured I would still give it a shot. The thing that bothered me most were all the people saying, "you're ripping Samsung off if you didn't give them a $200 phone for a $200 trade in". It was their promo so if Samsung got $20 phones, that's on them for not being more specific or supplying a list of acceptable phones. That's why the newer promo is not as vague.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
I do remember that - it doesn't really matter which phone was sent, as long as it was eligible. So at the end, was your phone approved or did you get any confirmation form Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Vitamin_D:
Still waiting like you. This is what it should look like I think http://imgur.com/FLj0tl6
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
Right, that is how it used to be a week ago. Recently Samsung did some changes to that. Example is that before it would show: "product received". and it got changed to "delivered". So either "confirmed" means "product verified" or we will see another status such as just "verified". I want to believe "confirmed" means - trade-in device is confirmed for $200 :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] alexnaoumi:
Their promotions are such jokes. I'm still waiting on my free vr headset that I registered for on may 10th and it was approved over the next few days. When I call they act like they have no clue what I'm talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jadams161:
My S8 hasn't even been shipped yet and my trade shows "confirmed $200".
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
Could you grab a screenshot of this? For some of us it also shows as "confirmed" and I want to compare if it is the same thing or not.

Here is an example:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ccic2491:
Mine shows the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
How long has it been since Samsung got your trade-in device?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ccic2491:
A little over a week.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
Wow, and already confirmed.... Our devices are in Samsung's possession for 3+ weeks already and we are debating what "confirmed" means :) The status just changed from delivered to confirmed yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ccic2491:
I bought a total of 3 so maybe they expedited mine to confirmed. It was only showing delivered for about a week.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
Does anyone have "confirmed" when checking status of trade-in + received approval email from Samsung? I just want to find out if "confirmed" is enough to relax and know that trade-in is successful.

It's interesting to see the split in opinions of 2.0 here and on Reddit. In my opinion 2.0 was absolute garbage and actually made my watch less functional. I can go on and on about how much I hate it but I'm just interested in seeing the numbers.
[LG Watch Urbane] jinkerz9430:
Im a W200A user and today at about 3 or 4 pm i flashed the korean version . So far it looks like it is just another preview. Lags, heating issues, and battery draining pretty quick. I think tomorrow i will be moving back to 1.5 after i hit the gym and at least try android pay once.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Redjax:
Alright, this is starting to drive me crazy, it follows me to every ROM I try.

The camera...it just sucks. I'm currently on ExperienceOS, and loving it, but I've had this issue on FreedomOS, Lineage, Resurrection Remix, and OwnROM. Anything other than the default "camera" app, just plain can't use the camera. It's terrible. Snapchat, mobile check deposits in my banking app, scanning apps, really anything that uses the camera except, again, the actual camera app on the phone, has awful quality. It'll focus the background, and everything in the background is crystal clear...but no matter what I do (angling, tap to focus, pulling phone back and pushing it closer to try and re-focus it), my phone will NOT focus on the foreground.

I can't be the only person having this issue, and I really don't think it's a hardware issue. I think it's probably something more to do with firmware, although I am on the latest firmware and have flashed back to stock OOS before coming back to ExperienceOS.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? It's making this phone not fun to use. I went back to my Nexus 6P for a bit, until it died at 24% battery, reminding me why I switched away from it. This camera bug is literally the only issue/complaint I have about this phone. Please help...

P.S. - Rooted using Magisk, flashed ElementalX kernel (I've tried sticking with the stock kernel, and using other kernels, so I don't think it's a kernel problem), and I've tested it with many different apps that use the camera...everything but the camera app is fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob332:
2 days ago updated my Galaxy S5 to LiheageOS 06282017 and upon first boot WiFi would not work. Further investigation revealed the dreaded MAC address for WiFi is 20:00:00....

Followed the same method as I did when I put LineageOS 14.1 05242017 on it and all worked fine.

Any ideas why this happens and what is the fix?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob332:
For some reason with my setup, I went ahead and flashed the ROM only and instantly got WiFi back. The only other piece of software that goes on so early is #SuperSU, so I decided to use 2.79 instead of the newest 2.82 and low and behold it worked, but only if I installed it when I installed the new ROM. I do not know if this is the real issue or not, but I currently have #SuperSU 2.79 and LineageOS 14.1 06282017 working great together and the MAC address is the same that it was before as my routers were not changed and I have them setup to allow only the MAC addresses I type in. Weird but this seems to be the situation with my setup - again Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T) w/ LineageOS 14.1 06282017 and #SuperSU 2.79, #SuperSU seemed to somehow interfere with the WiFi Mac address rendering it useless...Hope this helps somebody else.

Having a little trouble running vga hack on my phone. ive tried nyditot virtual display as well as ozvga....has anyone gotten vga mode to run smoothly. NVD seems to freeze as soon as I use the windows start menu

What is this "vga hack" you speak of?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] aron4588:
it not a hack and do you even know what vga is (i change a few on wikipedia so try there first lol) yea vga program work but i can't get ozvga
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
It's a way to get a 640x480 "resolution" in a 320 × 240 display. It won't look pretty, because it will be squizing it all on 320x240 pixels, but it would give you more screen space.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] hidavi:
vaginal ghonorrhea abrasion?

I've been building and fixing computers since the time VGA was considered the standard desktop resolution so I'll let you try and figure out the answer to your own question.

I found out what it was and I don't see how it would work on the Wing seeing as how the screen is only 320x240, but since you guys were talking about it in here, I gave it a try. No change in resolution whatsoever and I tried two different programs, including one made especially for WM6.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] neptune:
I finally got it to work but as mentioned by ivan before it is not a nice screen to be looking at due to the small size of the text and symbols. nyditot seems to have done the trick...only problem is that it only wants to work 50% of the time, but it'll do 'till i can get ozVGA(or another app) to work properly. but when it comes down to it I think that this is too much hassle just to get win98 running on the herald.

If you want smoothness, fluidity then you can switch to EAS rom like Pheonix aosp or Vertex os, Paranoid Android also very smooth.

What is the difference between a normal rom and EAS? And which do you think is the most fluid?

About the LZO compressed kernel, I was under the impression that the boot would be faster if the kernel wasn't compressed at all. I don't know how large the uncompressed kernel is, but since it gets decompressed at boot anyway, perhaps it'd be better to just have it uncompressed to begin with?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Black_Hat01:
An uncompressed kernel image would probably boot faster in our case since our CPU/RAM is fast enough to handle an operation as such. Only issue however is the uncompressed kernel sizes in at about 20 mb in our case, and is too large for our device's boot partition (I think around 16 mb), and won't be able to be installed to the device at all, producing an error saying the image is larger than the boot partition.

EDIT:

Also by "faster", I am comparing it to other popular compression methods such as xz.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Black_Hat01:
Build r2 live

Build r2 is live with minor changes. Here's an overview of what's changed:

- Reverted Intellithermal and replaced it with franco's max temp tuner due to stability issues

- Merged latest July security patches from google

Happy flashing!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
LZO is going to be the best available. Also, Intellithermal is outdated. I would stay away from it. May I ask what issues you had with BCl. I always had it disabled in my kernel, I believe it to be the cause of early shutdowns that people report (especially when the power draw it too much).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Black_Hat01:
Agreed. I decided to just give it a shot because I wanted to see if I could add some more options for as far as thermal drivers goes but it just doesn't do anything better than stock thermal throttling + Franco's userspace temperature adjustment patch, and like you said, was not updated since it's initial port to qcom devices by faux. Decided to squash it from here out.

This is actually a good point. I believe as of now, I will bring it back in the near future. I had some rebooting issues, and I *thought* BCL was the cause, but it now seems it is due to RQ Affinity (still working on getting it ironed out). Once I figure out the real cause of my very sparse reboots, I will most likely bring it back, as the upsides seem to outweigh its seemingly negatives(never really figured these out :confused: ), especially with Franco's BCL modifications.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
I had a toggle for BCL on mine. My source for it is since lost but that may have been added when Yoinx was part of my team. I had it off by default but people could toggle it on. Do you have it set to off? (RQ Affinity)? I started this on my PC but Ill upload screenshot of what I have going on.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
Screenshots
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Black_Hat01:
I seem to not run into any rebooting with it set to 0 (so off). A BCL toggle would be great. If I could get that into my kernel that will guarantee BCL's return.

EDIT:

Looking at your setup, mine is quite similar, except of course the BCL switches. And currently affinity at 0 for testing.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
This is blackbird kernels source with some of my commits and Ill link you to really old source of my kernel that Yoinx had. I had bad issues setting that to 0. Use RQ Affinity 1 and see if they don't stop. Trust me, I made a kernel for this device for the longest time. If there was a mistake to make I made it. Over a year, 2 version of Android. M and N. If you want..... Get me a log at the next reboot and I would be happy to help

Almost laughed. Got a reboot while reading this. Anyways, I appreciate your willingness to help. Not by any means an expert here, and still new at making use of my own logs, so I'll take all I can get. Here's my kmsg from last reboot. This was with affinity 0, so affinity is ruled out as the cause of the reboots at least (had them with 1 too)

Thank you so much for this. Will look into it tomorrow when I get on my PC.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
Im gonna look at it in a second. In the mean time here is my BCL file

Edit: Do the reboots only happen when using certain apps? I expected to see a watchdog bite for IRQ and I didnt.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Black_Hat01:
Thanks. They seem to random, however, the apps that I can remember reboots occuring in are FX File Explorer, Clash of Clans(yes I play this ancient game), Google Camera(video), XDA Labs, and once while suspended.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
Try RQ Affinity value = 1. If not I have another idea
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Black_Hat01:
Actually have been doing that since last night, alongside switching to Mako plug. No reboots with heavy usage this morning.

EDIT:

Guess the culprit would be intelli plug

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Black_Hat01:
Thank you alot for the help. Will look into your BCL commits.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Black_Hat01:
Says you have chosen not to receive PM's. Anyways, got another reboot unfortunately. However, it was very quick, and was almost like it only restarted the UI or like a soft reboot. RQ Affinity was set to 1 and Mako plug was in use. Here is the log if you can make anything out of it. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
Ill fix that. Im going to bed soon. Ill check out the log real quick though.

Edit: You have a lot going on, will try using another hotplug or shutting hotplugging off entirely and send me logs if it reboots?

[Blu Pure XL] Short Circuit:
Judging by your words, I'm assuming you mean that you got yourself an external battery/power pack.

Android is reporting the details of the internal device battery. AFAIK it doesn't add or take into account any external batteries, power packs, etc.. I don't think you can change it.

I don't see the need to change it anyways, even if it is a "permanent" battery solution.
