Adaway, debloat, titanium backup, possibility of xposed getting updated to work on the s8+, like who wouldn't want to root?! ? my biggest hope now that paranoid android is back is that they work on their rom so it can work with the s8+, I LOVED their work and their features man so I'm crossing my fingers for that someday! I'm just hoping Iris scanner still works after root, Samsung pay and VR I scarcely use to begin with so I won't miss them much. That 80% batter thing, I have that samsung portable battery that tmobile sells with fast charge so no worries there, for all you Game of thrones fans out there, Root is here! Forget winter haha
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] HighOnLinux:
I really hate the fact how people are complaining about the little things in the eng firmware like its just battery life, chill out. There's pros to that and just 1 con but obviously you can fix that con by getting a portable charger (or a charging case like myself) and you'll be fine the whole day. People have been begging for root for the past 4 months and when the devs finally achieve it, they complain about the battery life and some such like stop it it's annoying. It's like what the OP said, the community can help fix that issue and boom we're all done here. Would you rather have a full battery or the full potential of you galaxy s8/s8+? Choice is yours. But just dont complain on it. Keep it to yourselves.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yea, odin a stock firmware.. unrooted done lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightninbug:
Release the ?!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xDMONEYx:
This may be slightly off-topic, but is anyone else perturbed as I am at the amount of people that seemingly have very little understanding of root, unlocked bootloader and the difference between the two? I fear for their devices, as this definitely isn't going to be a one-click root method that many may be accustomed to. And we got people talking about wanting to flash AOSP-based ROMs too. I feel like there needs to be a PSA in big red letters at release or something warning people not to try and flash custom recoveries or non-stock-based ROMs. Even though it's been stated various times throughout both threads, there is a severe lack of an ability to read, or a severe level of laziness with some people.

It seems like all XDA topics begin with "if you screw up your device, it's not our fault", so everyone here should take that as common sense tbh lol. But also there's sub-threads for different phones and whatnot too. I mean I'm sure the developers will cover themselves and put out a warning but imo that warning will be ignored anyway, or the people that don't ignore it pretty much already know
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maurylucha:
I'm sure when they make the guide it'll be mentioned tenfold. But still expect to be that 1 person to come on xda and say, hey guys so my phones on a bootloop after I rooted and tried to flash a custom rom from the exynos thread or something along those lines because there's always that one person.

Wondering if I'm the only one actually excited about the 80% limit
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] HighOnLinux:
I am. More healthier for our batteries if we ever accidently leave it charging
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xshooter726:
While we wait I've charged my phone to 80% and going to try to make it through the day to see what kind of SOT I can get out of 80%.

I've disable some bloat apps using adhell and keeping brightness at 50% with resolutions at FHD also turning off location. Ill report back later today.

80% isn't such a bad thing anyways
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Root-Maniac:
Can we stop with the battery non sense everybody? Let's not put the cart in front of the horse. This is a root progress thread. Not a battery stats with root thread.

With all respect
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
The battery issue by self is so stupid... If I loose the battery capacity by 20 % over the next 2 years who cares... Anyone who is trying to save battery by charging to 80% anyways is only using 80%.

What a horrible idea...

Mods should delete all posts with battery in it including mine[emoji12]

Moderator Information,

Thread has been cleaned, flaming other users is against forum rules. If you have an issue with a post, report it and move on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] machx1111:
Let's think about this logically:

1. This is a root progress thread

2. Current progress : battery charges to 80%

Please explain how discussion of the battery 80% is off topic or offensive? Myself and others were actually stating it isn't such a bad thing. If we were complaining or harassing the devs about it that would be a different story. Problem here is that we have some junior moderator boy scouts judging what posts are allowed / not allowed. How about they step back and let the moderators do their job and stick to discussing the *ROOT PROGRESS* and not other peoples' comments?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sczar:
Could we all please stay on topic. No need for everyone to express their feeling.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] HanMan5000:
Have you guys tried disabling fast charging and seeing if it passes 80%? I recall reading a thread where a user stated his battery did not charge past 80% unless he turned off fast charging. I think this would be a much smaller inconvenience than losing 20% battery, if it was the case.

Kinda disappointing that the battery doesn't charge past 80%. Probably won't be using this root myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ngdskier:
Good question, and like I mentioned in the previous thread, my phone (AT&T S8) seems to have forced an update on me... Coincidence? Accidently clicked multiple buttons on the screen while it was in my pocket, thus "choosing" to update? Not sure. I'm not sure I'd be worried about a Bixby update, but I was worried about setting up AdHell when it wanted to give me a activate the Samsung firewall, which wanted to push some kind of Knox update, so I backed out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asymcon:
Hi,

I'm trying to get x265 HEVC encoder or latest ffmpeg (with h265 support) onto Android for armv8l.

I'm not sure whether to cross compile or build native straight on device.

Anyone attempted this? Could someone advice me how to get this done?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asymcon:
From the looks of it, your internal NAND might be corrupted, which is very difficult to fix (it involves soldering at chip level - desoldering the nand and replacing it), in which situation you might prefer to rather get another phone or apply your warranty

But don't take my word for it (beginner in Android here) and wait what others have to say.

I might be missing the elephant in the room. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuhammadZul:
Oh word, my phone is 2 years old is it worth replacing or fixing it? Btw thank you for reply i appreciate it so much :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asymcon:
I come from mindset that tech gadgets should last between 12-15 years, the thing with phones is that internal storage is unlike 3.5" HDD in desktop - firmly soldered on motherboard. And seeing that NAND has limited number of R/W cycles, failure is

inevitable

. Only question is when.

Are you by any chance based in EU? If so, check the purchase date, and in case it's less than 24 months you could still apply for warranty replacement. Vendors usually don't care whether the device is rooted or not, even if they'd reject it, it's worth a shot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuhammadZul:
Unfortunately, im not from EU. i can afford to fix it, but it cost almost like a new phone. i consider buying Xiaomi 4X is it a good idea?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asymcon:
By Xiaomi 4X you mean Redmi 4X or Redmi Note 4X?

I would get Redmi 4 Prime or Redmi Note 4. X-series are meant for China market. Both of those phones feature Snapdragon 625, IMHO one of the best offerings to date in terms of power efficiency and compatibility.

Note 4 (mido) comes with leaked kernel sources from May 2017 and it'll soon receive stable LineageOS (it's already official, but still weekly). Not sure about Prime, but if you prefer 720p 5" screen, Prime should be the one.

Of course there are Honors, don't have much experience with those unfortunately, but from what I heard those are very good bang for the buck.

Anyway, there still might be a way for your Lenovo if you could format SD card as internal storage. TWRP should be able to do so. Never done that myself, hopefully someone can chime in and advice?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuhammadZul:
did you mean i must partition it so the SD became the internal?

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_x2:
Hi,

I'm having a weird problem I couldn't find any solution to through google-foo. The concate-power_supply_info.csv if filling up crazy fast (couple MB per minute) on my xt1563 running LineageOs 14.1

I've found a dirty fix for now by removing write and exec permission in parent folder power_supply_logger located in the data partition (removing write permission for the csv itself didn't work, it was reverting back). Anyone experienced similar issue? I've updated Lineage, but the problem persists. Could any problem arise because whatever does this behavior can no longer log in the csv file?

Thanks,

Max

I have exactly the same issue on my MOto G4 Plus running LineageOS 14.1 (20171009-NIGHTLY-athene) with Magisk v14.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alberto97:
The cause of this problem is an internal Motorola debugging tool (batt_health) which collects stats about the battery in that file but it is not supposed to run on production devices. I fixed the problem by removing the binary on moto 8916/8939 family around a month ago. I'll notify athene's maintainers too. In the mean time you can remove system/bin/batt_health.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] alldino:
Hey guys! Been getting around 4h SOT as highest on my device, AOD turned off, 30-50 % brightness, fhd+ and dark theme.

Can get through the day but can't get a minute more than 4h sot which seems weird.

It's not that I think the battery life is absolute ****, I'm okay with it, the thing that sort of "bothers" me is that i see people getting like 6-10h SOT on like 2 days of charge which seems unbelievable to me.

Now on to the question,

is my utterly **** 4g signal preventing me from reaching 6-7 h SOT or is it just that I'm "unlucky" with the battery lottery.

Is it fair to expect a 6-7h SOT if i do decide to root and flash something like a notorious kernel and a rom?

Which I know will permanently void my warranty.

Or should I return the device and swap it out for either another s8+ or something like a g6?

I hope I don't seem too much of a brat ****face but I did lay out tons of cash for this phone, which other than the battery I am incredibly impressed by.

Thank you guys for keeping this forum running, it's been a lifesaver!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Derpling:
This, i can get 20hr sot on my mate 9 if i leave it with screen on, take in account SOT means NOTHING, it just one measure that can be easily manipulated.

I use my phone the way i use and i only judge by the end of the day, how much perfect left and what took the most of my battery life, without caring about SOT at all.

Just now i was traveling to Budapest and made ton of photos and videos with my DSLR and the Mate 9, on sunny days your brightness will be up, shooting 4K videos and taking pictures, using GPS google maps, will make your SOT low, does that mean your battery life is bad? NOT AT ALL :)

Stop caring about sot and use GSAM monitoring up to understand if there is a rogue app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Bxrider117:
I have the S8+ and I see that they have figured out how to root the Snapdragon version. I am not really pressed to root my phone.

The 1st time I used the phone, which was a weekend and mostly WiFi, I got over 6 hours of screen time. However on my work days where I use mostly LTE service and I'm inside an office building, I may only have 3-4 hours of screen time but I will make it home with almost 50% of battery life.

I'm no longer concerned with screen time. If my phone can get me through a full day, then I'm happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] willcor:
Firstly,

I fully agree with [MENTION=6668345]Derpling[/MENTION] post above .( His last paragraph..)

Also SOT, now days, means nothing to me.!

Many years back, i used to be obsessed

with benchmark, battery usage, performance etc.

I also use to root all my device's.

However, presently i have stop been " obsessed"

and accept what is reasonable/acceptable.

eg. battery usage including SOT.

prefomance and stop rooting.

There is plenty work arounds available.

Presently, what i do

is i have a few good battery

apps... Betterbattery, Wakelock detector,

Gsam, I enabled these apps with ADB, to get them working. No root. (Very straightforward one or two liner commands, that's all.)

If i have a rogue app, and my battery use " suffers" i use these apps to id the app. and sort app out accordingly.

eg clear cache /data or uninstall.

Lastly i read online that presently,

more devs are

using " other alternatives" than root.

eg ADB...

to give you similar end results.

Bottom line... I found that in most cases

rooting a device just

creates other/more issues.!.. to fix.!

Now days, for me to root my device ( if ever again)

i must have a very, very good reason to root.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Derpling:
You so right about root, there is a workaround to everything tbh, i use the Mate 9 without root and it's the closest phone in my opinion to perfection, no tweaks needed.

Geekbench SOT all of it are just numbers as it means nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] El Presidente81:
I think this is your problem, not the battery. One of the biggest battery killers on any device is a weak signal as the phone will push more power to the radio to try and find a better one (not exactly what happens, but there or thereabouts). Rotting won't change that.

Have you tried switching to 3G only, does that make a difference? Does it differ when you spend time in an area with a better signal?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] alldino:
The problem with my service signal is just temporary, I've been working for the summer but I'm moving back to the university tonight, there I have full 4g and 3g signal so hopefully this will change, however I have settled down a bit with the phone and I'm pretty happy with the battery now, 4h sot is not bad
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ahamed.rafi135:
yea rooting aint the solution

try gsam, wakelock detector, etc to detect the rogue app
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kuczyproceder:
imho you don't need root to improve your battery life, i'm achieving 5hr SOT easily with brightness 50%, AOD on and resolution WQHD+, all you need is to disable some of the preinstalled packages, do a bit of research to find out which ones can be disabled without a risk, then you will be good to go ;) pm me if you need an assistance
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Elfmirth:
I think your battery preformance is most likely to some apps or how you use it, I can say from expariance and experemanting with my S8+ that SOT and battery over all can shift.

I haven't rooted since im using samsung pay and haven't had a real need for root yet. but have tried a couple of diff apps and tests to max my battery but found that non off it really saves battery, quite the opposite.

I have tried substrantium to go all black in the phone (cus we have Amoled) but my battery life got worse

tried nova launcer to get some preformance boost and also black down the theme, but nova still suffers from battey drain issues (had same problem with my HTC10)

have disabled alot of services like bixby etc with BK Plugin. but made no big diff.

So after having the phone since launch and mixing and matching stuff to see if I could squeese a little more life out of an already good phone, I got to conclution that Samsung has done a good job in optimizing the S8+.

The stock launcher is fast and efficent, the built in "cleaning" program works well in shuting down unused apps etc. and running the phone with no extras and not tweking anything special or trying to get the phone as black as possible, I can go about 2 full days with normal use.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] suzook:
If you have the Snapdragon, battery life will decrease, by 20%.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Bxrider117:
I switched from a Verizon S8 to an unlocked S8+ and imo not having any of the added bloatware makes a difference. On my S8 I could make it through a whole day but my battery would be down under 10%. I know the S8 plus has a bigger battery but I go to bed with 30-40% of battery life.

I run my phone starting at 4:45am with a gym work out and I'm in bed by 11pm. My usage is mostly lte except for when I'm home. My SOT is always 5 hours or more.

Friends I am sharing this just FYI that OP3/3T support is going to receive O and few updates after that and then the open beta program will move to OP5 and slowly the support for OP3/3T will end as usual with older models.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] android.reddy143:
With in a year the OP3 has turned as old device ..?[emoji22] ..opting OP3 is very bad experience.

Stop selling the product in Amazon India..
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] zelendel:
Not sure what you really expected. This has been the companies MO since day one. If you thought it would be different then no one is at fault other then you. Do the needed research and you will be fine. Also just a news flash but the every device is old by the time you get it. Heck unless you compile the OS your selfe then your software is outdated as well.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] android.reddy143:
I did not understand what exactly you would like to convey.

You mean that , OP no exception , compare to any other organization? If you agree that ..all other companies respect thire flagship devices at most recent, even though they release different flagships in a year.

And other vendors are not able to provide software update very frequently due to various reasons ex. Hadware compatibility, upcoming model in the same price...etc. Here they did not annouce anything from company for flagships.

OP had releases flagship devices and no support get from company? Strange...[emoji15][emoji24]
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] zelendel:
When O comes out the device will be about 18 months old. The same cut off point that other flagships offer. Some flagships never even see an update.

What I mean to convey is simple. If you are worried about updates then the only way to be sure is to get a device that you can build the OS for yourself. Most devices (even Flagships) come with outdated kernels and to be up to date you would have to flash every single day and sometimes a few times a day.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Puddi_Puddin:
Actually you get a damm lot support. Look how many updates there have been. Samsung still runs 7.0 if you have a Huawei you get 6 updates spreaded around 2 years, those updates contain minor bug fixes nothing special at all. And so on. You paid €400 for a phone and expect everything!
