Sideloading WILL wipe the phone. I still am not clear on whether this is a 935a or a 935v with a fw. Also is your provider att. The only reason I am aware you would not get it's is of you flashed a leaked or beta fw that has no upgrade path. Try to Odin the full fw.

Just got the note 8 yesterday and been messing around with it. I'm coming from the Note4 with Note7 software. I think I have a pretty decent setup. I'm taking advantage of the always on screen. I use it like a lock screen. So I disabled the lock screen. I long-press the home screen to unlock the phone its pretty awesome. Or double tap the notifications to go directly to them, without swiping again.

I wanted to create this discussion so ppl can share their shortcuts and little efficiencies so everybody can enjoy them.

Update: So I lied I assumed there would be notifications on the AOD screen with the lockscreen off but unfortunately there are no more notifications on AOD without the lock screen :( that's silly

Update, Update: there is a setting in the display>navigation bar settings that bypasses the lock screen on a long press!!!

How do you like the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jcip17:
I like it a lot but in my opinion the curve screen does not improve anything and is unnecessary, it just looks good. Typing on it takes getting used to. The q & p keys are on the edge and it's a little weird to press them and long press them.

The phone was super hard to handle with one hand without the Samsung military grade rugged case. It's a long phone. With the case it's thicker and more manageable. Having the case on it also makes it harder to touch the edge of the screen by accident when using one hand.

Really not a fan of the curve screen as you can see lol. But other than that the phone is perfect.

I wish they had an option to disable the edges or something.

You planning on getting it?

I ordered one because I had the Note 7 and they offered the discount. It’s supposed to be delivered 9/12 and I was using the S8 Plus at one point. The Note 7 was the first time I used the pen extensively, so I wanted to try it again.

Click on recent button, long press the app of choice, and drag it in the pop-up window square to make the app a pop up window quickly. Or you can enable the multi-window setting to diagonal swipe from the top right of the screen to make the app a pop up window.

In the sound settings you can choose apps to default to a specific output channel. I find this useful for using Google maps while playing music. I have maps defaulting to phones speakers. I think it is working lol but it still lowers the music volume when maps is talking. It doesn't seem to blast the annoying gps voice over my music that I was playing loud.[emoji108]

Sweet ! Have fun ! It's such a dope phone. I think the new UI hit the sweet spot. I'm not sure what the S8 is like but I assume it is very similar. The navigation bar looks sick. The toggles have no text [emoji7]. Ahhh it's the little things in life lol

Also I'm looking into trying this very soon to make the nav bar always black

That's a feature that was available via the much more feature-rich Action Memo that was included with S Note on pre-N7 models. So while it's a new feature from the perspective that it's a new app, it's a crappy app in comparison.

While in the app drawer, and I scrolled up to the top of the list, I then swipe within the drawer downward (but not from the top) and a popup comes up showing me a list of apps that were are frequently used, recently used and those that were new/updated. Pretty cool.

Hey I have a question for the Note 8 owners here. I read earlier last week that you could touch and swipe left/right the home button when its hidden to go back / activate recent, and then regular force touch to go home. Is this a legit gesture, or is there an app that can enable such a thing?

I would absolutely love if I could ditch the nav bar entirely and get DAT space.

This is an amazingly small yet useful feature, thanks! I use Notes very frequently, and this will absolutely be invaluable!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jcip17:
Np :D happy to help!

Also!!

"Nav bar Apps" in the play store let's you apply a static color to your nav bar in every app! There is a flash of white when it launches an app where it is supposed to be white but I dont mind that. It looks like the app can do other things but I just wanted to make it black at all times! Exactly what I wanted.

If you go into the settings you can change the color change animation to fade. That is the smoothest animation with barely any white flash.

Alsoo

My OP setup is obsolete!!! There is a setting in in the display>navigation bar settings. See picture

Another feature I noticed while checking something camera related is that I can take a pic using either one of the volume up or down buttons. Also able to take burst shots if I hold down either of the volume buttons.

I never noticed that before on my previous phones so maybe that feature was there before, but its cool since now I can really hold the phone more stable and take a shot(s).

I am getting an error when I try to install the overlay on the stock email client. It worked for Gmail though. I think substratum is going to work much better once Oreo drops because Oreo supports theming engines like substratum out the box, unless Samsung goes out of their way to block it...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dschachm:
So I thought this was a great idea that you could double tap the icons on the always on display and it go directly to the app. I thought it was very stupid however that if you double tap an icon it goes to the swipe lock screen which you then have to swipe to get into the app. If you disable the lock screen you loose the icon notifications on the aod.

I wanted to bypass this but still have the apps on the aod screen, so I set my lock screen to swipe and configured Tasker to swipe for me once the screen turns on and used a variable set so it only swiped once when the screen initially turned on. I had it set for half a second and I thought this was working great for the last week or so.

On my Note 5, I used to have Tasker disable the keyguard when I was in my car so I would not have to swipe to get into my phone.

Somehow today, I accidentally turned the keyguard off while I was in my car. I noticed that I no longer have the swipe to unlock screen but I do still have the icons on the aod screen. So now when I double tap from the aod screen icon, it goes directly to that app.

I know I got lucky by doing this, but I think it is the best of both worlds. I turned off Tasker so it will no longer touch the keyguard setting on my phone and hopefully my phone will stay like this.

I hope this helps someone else.

UPDATE - I woke up this morning and keyguard was on again. So I added jeygaurd to a task that runs every morning when I unplug my phone.

Samsung Push Service is the notification service for samsung apps.

if you disable it you will still receive notifications for updates via google store for samsung apps

however if you use all/most of samsung apps...you should keep it

i only use samsung music and samsung themes...and it doesnt impact them in any way.

regarding AASA service...i read that its related to touch wizz but when i disable it nothing happens. no FC, no issues

Exactly the same thing happened to me.

You need to flash the stock rom again.

Apparently, the only unofficial custom rom (Lineage) isn't working(Stuck in the middle of bootanimation).

To flash custom rom,

search " Stock Rom Moto e4 plus" in Google

[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] </poorly_coded>:
Did you by any chance flash a different bootlogo? I know if you flash a bootlogo that wasn't sized properly or one from a different device, like say the Moto G5 or something, it will screw up your bootloader screen like that. If you did, just flash the stock bootlogo.bin and see if it fixes your bootloader screen. I have never had a substratum theme screw up my bootloader like that or heard of it happening.

i guess you did flash the android sistem option from substratum, the phone doesn't like very much that much and enters in a conflict state
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] cahibo:
So, my wife picked up the Pixel phone today from Verizon and it's updated to Oreo already. I've got my HTC 10 running stock but I used Sunshine to Unlock the bootloader when I purchased the phone a while back. I was happy with stock and never rooted the phone. But, I'm jelly now and will root and install TWRP tonight. I've been out of the game for a while but my rooting/flashing days go back to Thunderbolt, DNA (my fav), HTC M7, M8, and now my 10. I wanted to ask a few quick questions. Please understand I'm not making requests, demands, or anything. I've donated to the devs in the past. One question, for the 10 on Verizon US, what is the closest to the Pixel ROM available? Also, I remember back in the day devs releasing ROMs pretty quickly after OTA updates to the flagships and was wondering if there's some technical reason around why we haven't seen them on the HTC 10 thread. Thanks in advance!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] drago10029:
Just gotta check the ROMs section of the forum. If you want the closest thing to Oreo/Pixel experience get a AOSP ROM. Lineage is good place to start but there are plenty of other ROMs to check out.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] gauravbhawsar:
Don't know much abt Verizon..cuz I'm using international version & for that the best closest, most stable Rom for HTC 10 is Pure Fusion Os rom in my opinion..the only thing you'll miss there is Sense Camera,Rest Rom is Purely amazing..✌?✌?

I am suggesting you to go ahead with Resurrection remix official for your HTC.. I am already running on my HTC 10 and there are so many tweaks and customisation available.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
+1 for Res Remix for LOS based ROM

for AOSP based ROM I suggest AOSP Extended

--Both of these ROMs I have found to be the most stable with the most tweaks

For Sense based ROM, LeeDrOiD or Viper ROM.

Or install MultiROM and have them all installed like I do. :cool:

HTC has announced that the 10 will be getting Oero officially so once that is released, the Sense based ROMs will most likely start jumping on that and re-basing their ROMs.

LOS/AOSP ROMs are already in the process (or at least some are) of updating to Oreo
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] thunder2132:
Throwing in another recommendation for PureFusion. It's the closest thing to the Pixel that you'll find and is updated often.

Hi,

I have a Sprint PPC 6800 that I loaded with DCD's 2.1.0 (WM 6.1) with radio 3.27.00. GPS function was working the first couple times I ran GPS software (I tried with Google & TomTom). Heck, I've even taken out my Titan with TomTom running in my car and worked perfectly with AstroGPSLauncher.

Ever since then, the GPS function has been running only 1/10 times. My Titan resets once in awhile when I'm trying to acquire the GPS signal.

Is my GPS function dead on my phone? Can anyone please give me a hand?

Thanks,

Don

I've always loved to root and install a custom ROM. If I ran into issues I could always run back to Sprint's default OS. Will there be stock samsung software if I run into issues with flashing?

Also, is there any benefit to getting the unlocked vs Sprint version other than being able to use it on other carriers?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xxx42069:
Umm... Bad idea, if you're getting it for rooting. To the best of my knowledge the unlocked version won't be anymore able to root than the sprint version because they are both the snapdragon variants made for North America. Unless by unlocked version you mean the international version? That's the only one that will be rooted for a long, long time, if not ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AprilAr:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jay5583:
FWIW...From what the Samsung rep told me at my local BestBuy.. the Unlocked Note 8 is fully compatible with Verizon and AT&T. You might have some 'features/functionality' that is exclusive to the Sprint version because of the software tweaks that will only work on a Sprint version Note 8.

As you stated to be someone who roots/installs custom ROMs, think of it as why you need to install certain custom kernels, csc files, etc etc to make certain features work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mike02z:
All "unlocked" means is that it's not locked into one carrier. It has nothing to do with a boot-loader unlock. I'm not saying it's not going to happen but I think the odds are slim. Someone may find a way to root the device which is all I really would like to see.

[Huawei Y6 Questions & Answers] WildKnocker:
If you manage to get the update.app file for your model , download the "Huawei update extractor" and extract system & boot images , then flash them through fastboot , when your device fully boots and you set it up , flash the stock recovery through fastboot

Beware that sometimes your the setup freezes and then you'd have to factory reset through twrp or stock recovery , but if the recovery is also not working properly , it would be hard to flash twrp to factory reset .

I advise you to leave twrp , as we probably will not get anymore updates via ota.
