[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] testreaper:
Well damn, i never thought that i would make that comparison. But here it is ruining my mind because each phone has its strong and weak points.

Each phone is available to be and i can buy for a disparity of 100 euros (OP5500, S8 600). I am also talking about the exynos model.

Why i consider buying OP5:

Blazingly fast, i know that even facebook wont stutter.

Great battery.

Good camera at daylight and great selfie.( I dont really take much pictures but when i do its mostly on selfie or daylight and the differences arent that noticable in that aspect).

I actually like its design.

Front facing and fast FP.

Why i consider S8;

Waterproof/Dustproof.

Cant beat that design.

One of the best cameras in android.

The only reason holding me back is the battery and laggy touchwiz. I have gotten in my hands s8's and every single one has occasional stutters and lags on daily apps. I dont know if touchwiz can be improved but i have seen it with my own eyes all this time and samsung regarding speed needs to do a lot more work.

So i hope that you can see my points and offer some oppinions on this matter. Thank you all!

Edit; I have seen jelly on videos but i dont think that it will affect me in any way. what i fear is that it might get worse though as time passes.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I would say OP5 simply because it doesn't have touchwiz lol

I'm trying to sell my Pixel XL and then I will be (re)-purchasing the OP5. I buy phones mainly for the software experience and the amount of development available for OP devices is incredible.

Personally, I feel the only thing the S8 has going for it is the screen/design and I suppose camera - but these are all subjective. It's not enough for me to want to choose the S8 over the 5.

Just my two cents :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] testreaper:
I kind of share your thoughts but still not enough to convince me about it, i mean if i see a op5t in the next few months this phone will loose entirely its net worth.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Hogyoku:
I have both devices .... go for the op5 unless you really care about having a bigger screen.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] dlads:
100% the Oneplus 5.

Whatever you think you're going to get more of on the s8 you'll miss out on so much more compared to the 1+
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] xabierd:
I made my choice for de 128gb op5 when I could get the gs8 a bit cheaper.

The waterproofness was my main reason to go for the Samsung, I don't value camera very much.

I might be a bit weird but I prefer the design on the op5, not that many people will have it and a Snapdragon for development is a must
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] kipue:
Hi, I was also on the fence, I went for OP5 too, for a few reasons :

-Developpement, really important of the Android fun for me.

- Software, TW may be getting better but it is still really a lot of stuff, and I don't like the doubling of features. Thinking about the assistant in particular, since I don't even use Google's. The dedicated Bixby button really is silly for this case.

- I saw an article where people could vote for how much the like photos, blind. OP5 came ahead of S8 (but after LG G6). So it is at least as good.

- Developpement!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Eric214:
Well, Right there, that's your answer. lol don't be fooled, people have been saying that about Touch Wiz for years. "Maybe they can work on it more", but every version is the same, buggy and laggy. Don't hold your breath on that going away with some update.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] GuestK00362:
I owned a Galaxy S7 and at first was really satisfied. Before that I always owned Nexus phones.

The S7 had lot of nice features and good camera. S8 also has... BUT after a few months I just hated the device for TouchWiz lags and massive bloat. Overall experience just wasn't great. S7 had over 350 services/apps installed without user apps. A lot of what you probably never need. And if you start disabling things, battery life just gets even worse.

So go for an OP5 and enjoy the smoothness and development possibilities .
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] dlads:
You do know that the Oneplus has some waterproofing? Not certified of course but it's been seen many times on YouTube being fully submerged for over a minute, no problems at all. Apple did the same thing.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] necosino:
Yeah I didn't realize the OP5 was more or less water resistant. There are a bunch of YouTube videos of people doing water tests though, so it definitely seems to be water resistant! That's was one of my few iffy things about it, but I feel much more assured knowing that a quick dip or spill won't fry it.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ahenderson223:
They never show the OnePlus a couple of days later after being in the water. To show if it truly holds up. I think if the OnePlus was really water resistant they would say it cause it would be a huge selling part.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

I have both I love the OnePlus cause of dash charging and dual SIM capabilities. I love the S8+ for wireless charging and being truly water resistant.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] necosino:
Three of the videos I found had follow-up videos showing the phone and everything still working. One was after a few days, one was after a couple weeks, and one was just last week (two months after the water test).
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] xabierd:
I use a Sony Xperia z3c for cycling, which often means rain in the road and mud when I mountainbike. The oneplus is not quite ready to replace de Sony ?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] DSF:
OnePlus 5 for better battery life, performance, smoothness, perceived shell temperature, ram management, oxygen os. Camera is good if there's light.

My last Samsung phones were s6 edge and galaxy s7. Both with ram management issues and on both I could fry eggs (exynos). I can't trust another flagship from Samsung, especially with glass back.. And a short hands-on with s8. The same camera as s7, same amount of ram (=> not that good ram management). For sure i cannot stand that fingerprint position, the glass back and the edges!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] B0unze:
I don't think there will be enough upgrades to make a 5T in the same form factor, the 3t had a camera, soc and battery upgrade, the op5 won't be able to get the last one in the same form factor and the first two might but then they'd probably save that for the OP6
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] liver20:
I sell Samsung s8 plus for buy oneplus 5 and dont look back, oneplus 5 is better

Enviado desde mi ONEPLUS A5000 mediante Tapatalk
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Ale08:
I was in the same doubt.

I chosen OP5 for:

no touchwiz

no edge display (cool but unsuitable)

snapdragon

dual sim

top level in all features (or almost top)

After 1 month with OP5 im totally happy ;)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] GuestK00362:
One more thing:

I used an s6 edge for a while and the edge screen was the worst of it's features because of accidental touches and simply no useful additions.

It really drove me crazy
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Abaddon:
had the s8 dual variant. it was sexy as hell.. after two weeks samsung experience bored me altought it had lots of uselful features. I was into custom roms.. more into AOSP/LOS based that is. so I returned it and got a 128gb op5. never looked back :P

camera quality on both phones are superb. s8 has a slightly better quality tho. but I love the op5's camera overall.

plus the s8's body is really fragile.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Se3QvB:
The Sim card is not water resistant
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Trippy:
I'm currently on the S8 and I plan on RMAing it and getting the 1+5. The screen is indeed beautiful but it's weird aspect ratio is annoying to say the least plus when I use my 3T it feels like it's bigger than the s8 I'm guessing because of the lack of curves which I find annoying and hard on the old eyes after prolonged use. Also the thing that made me settle on returning it is that freaking Bixby button that I press accidentally when holding it or when removing or inserting the thing in my pocket. Also coming from an LG and a 3T the lack of gestures on the screen is really bugging me. Double tap to wake is a must for me. Also the fingerprint sensor is pure garbage compared to the 3T and the positioning is also pretty terrible. TouchWiz is also quite garbage. Still didn't get the 7.1 update. Enough said. Oneplus 5 is the way to go in my opinion.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] simonthor:
I got an OP5 instead of my S7 Edge as I hate the curved screen.

The only thing I miss from the samsung was the sweet goldpink :(
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] bdscionut:
I recommend S8

I'm disappointed by OP5, poor GPS signal,

The camera on S8 takes pictures and filming better at night

Better display

If you're too "noobey" to search, you shouldn't be rooting in the first place.

I have I found one method that you pay $15.00 for is that a stable root method? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] stmims1124:
No...whatever it is you are taking about is not legit.

This is the only known method, and the developers quite literally just accomplished it this week after many months of hard work. It is not released yet. You simply must be patient and wait like the rest of us. Here's the status:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73355599&postcount=1453

Just FYI, it's frowned upon to start threads about topics that already have dedicated threads, and also very much frowned upon to not do your own reading & research here. The information is here for you, you just have to take the time to read.

Also, if root were so important, I would suggest purchasing a phone that wasn't so notoriously difficult to obtain. Just enjoy the awesome phone you have.

I do not intend to come off as rude...please don't take this as me chastising you, just hoping to inform.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] vmu:
Hi, I recently bought a Moto Z play from China and found out that this particular model only supports 4G: FDD-LTE B1/3/7/26 and TDD-LTE B38/B39/B40/B41 channels.

Is there a possibility to "unlock" the rest of the channels? ( LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 12(700), 17(700), 19(800), 20(800), 25(1900), 28(700), 38(2600), 40(2300), 41(2500) ) or flash another baseband without destroying the phone? Or am I just screwed?

I already tried flashing a firmware from another region (EU/US) but the problem persists.

Thanks in advance.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] jatinkhatri:
I think it's not possible in MZP,

Don't fight with baseband firmware, you can hard brick your phone

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steevi93:
Hi:

Newbie here, so please bear with me. I am fairly techie, but never really worked on phones (I'm a Windows / Network engineer by trade).

I had an S6 Edge on the Vodafone network, and live in an area with poor cell coverage. So, I fully took advantage of wifi calling. I've upgraded to the S8 (gorgeous phone, BTW) so I gave the device to my missus, who made the mistake of buying an EE iPhone, and hates it.

We unlocked the phone to the EE network, but the wifi calling option has vanished, and I've been told that this is by design, as only phone purchased directly from EE have wifi calling enabled.

Been looking around, and have seen that if we root the phone and flash it with an EE image, then things should be hunky dory. However, having never undertaken a project like this on a phone, I'm seeking some guidance, as I don't want to completely brick the device.

Are there any idiot-proof step-by-step guides on here to do this?

Cheers in Advance
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
It's actually a lot simpler than you think. No need to root all you have to do is flash the EE firmware through Odin (Samsung flashing tool) and voila, EE Wi-Fi calling will appear. Also volte will be available too.

If you need step by step I can help.

I need model number and android version and I can link you the firmware.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steevi93:
Hey dude.... after trolling through this forum some more, I was able to find what I needed to flash the firmware onto the device... However, Wi-Fi calling (as an option) does not seem to appear yet, but I wonder if that is due to the lack of SIM card (wife put it back in her iPhone, so I could sort this at work.

If I've downloaded the wrong stuff, then I'm happy to redo.

Model Number: SM-G925F

Android Version: 7.0

Baseband Version: G925FXXU5EQF1
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
When you downloaded the firmware was there 5 files in the zip? Or just the one AP file?

Did you look in phone app > settings then scroll to bottom for Wi-Fi calling option? If you flashed an EE firmware it should be there mate.

As well as the EE firmware you need to have the EE csc. You have this csc, EVR?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steevi93:
Hi... There was only the one file (the AP file, I believe)_ and no, when I checked the phone settings, wifi calling was not showing as an option. If you have a link to the correct firmware, I'm happy to reflash the phone, as I have everything here with me at work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Flash this version from here

http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=75717719616711E7963AFA163EE8F90B

The version you flashed previous was PRT Poland version.

Flash the one I posted it is UK EVR and then you will have Wi-Fi calling.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steevi93:
Thanks.... I will give that a go when I get home. Cheers.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
If by chance you encounter hidden.img fail in Odin don't panic.

Just unpack the firmware and remove the hidden.img. repack and flash again.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steevi93:
Heya.... no such "issues" so to speak. Just one where my baby kicked the USB cable, causing a brief disconnect during the flashing process. This, of course, sent me into a spiral of panic because the entire phone crashed, with errors, recovery messages invoking Smart Switch, and the like. However, restarting the phone and connecting it to Odin completely recovered the phone.

Initially, the flashing worked, but it didn't enabled Wi-Fi calling, so I reset the phone back to factory settings, flashed it again and voila!!!! Worked like a charm! Then restored the backup from Smart Switch that I made yesterday, and the missus now has a full functional EE phone with Wi-Fi calling.

Thanks very much for your help mate.... you're a legend.

I'm gonna keep Odin, as it seems like a great recovery tool as well. :good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Hey buddy,

Brilliant news mate enjoy. Glad I could help you.

Yeah keep Odin as it's always very useful in times of need. However you shouldn't have any issues from now :good:

Thanks the posts if you can mate :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] krisan47:
I have Galaxy S8, my problem is I flashed a custom ROM, and it's bricked (stuck at boot logo). I still charged my phone, and suddenly it turned off, I realized that since then my phone aren't charged. A black power logo (charging screen?) now comes up but the LED indicator for charging is not turned on while I connect my phone to charger. What I have tried:

1. Using original cable and charger. Using another cable and charger does not work too!

2. Connect it to my laptop. Does not work.

3. Use different electric socket (2-3 sockets). Still no luck.

4. Power. Not work.

5. Power + Vol Down. The device is turned off, but then the charging screen comes up again, still, I cannot power on my device.

6. Power + Vol Up + Bixby. Not work.

Is there any suggestion what should I do now? Please don't tell me it's a hardbrick. :crying::crying::crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Oscarandco:
Hi; try to change your charger. For me it's that the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Philipp_94:
Could be that it's deeply discharged. Had that problem with my HTC one m7. I let it charge for a day and that did the job pretty well. After that, I could charge normal again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] arl16:
I would try HOLDING the Volume Down + Power for at least 7 seconds.

Supposedly, this simulates pulling the battery, and gives you a few options, including rebooting or factory resetting. If you're thinking you're bricked, a factory reset might be best. Good luck.

I have a european One M8. I turned it off when I got in the plane and after landing it never started back :(

It gets stuck in the HTC logo.

Some times it moves on and says that "android is updating 165 applications"...and when that finishes it says that Sense Home has crashed and shows the HTC logo again (strangely I can change the volume at that stage :p ).

I tried to enter Recovery and did a Factory Reset but still nothing. When I select the Recovery option inside that menu I only see an icon of a phone with a red icon, no options to wipe cache etc...

The phone is STOCK, S-ON, no root nothing.

Any suggestions? Can I just reflash the stock rom?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Possibly. What does it say for OS number on the bootloader screen?

Also, please confirm near the top of the bootloader screen, it says LOCKED (versus UNLOCKED or RELOCKED).

Hey, thanks for the reply. I haven't managed to do anything neither did I spend a lot of time on this. I was waiting in case someone could help. Such a shame if the phone is bricked. I do not know if it is worth taking to professionals as its value as a used phone is quite low at the moment...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Unfortunately, I don't think your version has an RUU (or from a free source, anyway) that would restore your phone fairly easily (assuming the problem is software, and not hardware).

That being the base (no RUU) you can restore by unlocking the bootloader, installing custom recovery TWRP, and restore a stock TWRP backup (stock ROM).

So it is possible to recover (again, as long as it's not a hardware problem). But it's not a short/simple procedure, if you aren't familiar with these terms and methods.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panagath:
I fixed it by unlocking the bootloader from HTC's website, installed TWRP and then flashed the LineageOS Rom...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Nice work. It was hard to tell from your post, your level of knowledge. Did you have to learn how to do this, or had prior experience unlocking bootloader, TWRP, etc?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nifu:
Hello everyone!

Like it's written in the heading I have some problems with my one m8. It runs with LineageOS (14.1-20170803) and my powerbutton drives me crazy atm.. :D

Sometimes the powerbutton does what it made for. But most of the time instead of locking the screen it shows me the bootoptions (restart, power down, restart into recovery). This window should appear if I press the powerbutton for a while, not if I press it short time to lock the screen. The second problem is the camera. It seems to be connected somehow. I don't know why but sometimes when I (short)press the powerbutton the smartphone vibrates and asks how to open the following action (options are camera and Snapchat :D).

I would like to give you further details, but I don't know what you need :D Maybe something like a logfile would help to solve the problem? How can I give you a log, which includes my problems ? :)

Thanks!
