[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ticalo:
Call me crazy, but after the latest updates I got heavy idle battery drain. Same apps and use, I only could get a maximum of 2-3h SoT.

So I thought I would install GSam Battery Monitor to monitor the battery drain, and guess what? I suddenly got 6h SoT again... Wierd...

I uninstalled the app and tried a new full charge with the same amount of use and got no more than 2-3h SoT again.

Today I decided to install it again and now I have 46% left with 3h 10m SoT.

Am I crazy or what?

Hey guys. I need ur help plz. My edge lighting is working but it doesn't go around the screen anymore if that makes sense. Like when u play music the light goes around the screen infinitely. Any ideas? Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] contentryder:
Hey, I just ran into this issue too with my phone. After factory resetting my phone, my edge lighting works but it doesn't run around the edge of the screen. All it does is turn on. I tried clearing cache and deleting data on the edge panel app settings but still nothing.

Tried uninstalling the Edge Screen update version 3.1.00.1 but still the same thing..

Did you find a fix or anyone? TIA

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

NVM. Figured it out. End up, you have to set "animator duration scale" in Developer Options to a scale instead of turning it off. Might have turned it off by accident..

Hi,

Its my first time when i want to use android pay in UK. Everything is configured but for example today morning i was trying to pay in bus, but the machine did not read that. Everything was turned ON so its not issue on phone. I have one message on app but I dont know what they want. I found somewhere that someone had the same issue and they fixed that but explanation was chaotic.

ps. I've checked this at work buying something in machine and it's working. So the question is why it's not working for me in bus ?

It's bring reported in news that Samsung is working on Oreo for Galaxy S8 and S8+, and that the software version is BQI1.

Well, that is nice. But hey? Did you know OnePlus is already testing the OnePlus 3 Oreo under beta, closed beta actually that is not available to the public.

OnePlus is also targeting a September-end release of public beta of its Oreo for OP5, OP3/3T.

Hell, THAT IS FAST. No?

And what we have on Samsung?

The build nos. of Oreo update under the works.

Well, every OEM has Oreo update under the works. HTC, Motorola, Sony, LG, all of them. Even though they do not put out their Oreo build nos. out, chances are that they will still beat Samsung in the race to Oreo rollout.

So, Samsung, making a news via your unofficial source about Oreo update's supposed build nos that won't make to rollout is really not gonna make Galaxy S fans happy. Availability of a beta build of S8, before or just after OnePlus releases one of its own, would be something that would cheer Samsung's fans.

What do you guys think?

donno what battery drain you're talking about. I have none.

Had LG G2 before. Lollipop update was really BAD (performance and battery) and BUGGY, and never fully fixed with official updates from LG. Kitkat update was much better, although still worse than the original 4.2.2

Apparently you have a defective device. I've had my S8 since the middle of April and I have great battery life and it never once overheated. Would it be fair for you to pass your problem off on someone else? If do, at least inform them of your phones issues so they would be making an informed decision purchasing it.

**Mod edit**

Gaps between the housing and the glass of the screen were huge (compared to now) and the screen itself had problems

with red tint all across it and issues with burn in after less than a week of use . Since then I dropped it and cracked the screen.

They replaced the whole metal housing of the phone and the screen.

I had overheating issues also if the ambient temperature was more than 35 degrees Celsius and I haven't used more than

one app at a time, even in the background...

Also regarding battery drain. Had this issue with the July update plus my home button started trippin' and auto-brightness stopped working completely.

On the other hand my brother who also has an S8 didn't have any of this issues so I'm willing to bet that it's all up to the batch of device you got. Few of

my friends that got the phone just after the release reported problems from screen to bricked devices!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tuk1maar:
Exactly. I live in The Netherlands and have never heard of bad battery life with an Samsung. The thing is, a Samsung lasts the longest with high brightness. An LCD-device (iPhone for instance) lasts longer with low brightness (0-30%). In general, with the brightness maxed out and mixed usage on pure 4G+ I get about 4-5.5 hours of display on time on a single charge. If you'd do the same on an LCD-device (iPhone 7 Plus) you can expect about 2-2.5 hours of display on time. The story does change completely when using 0-30% brightness, then the iPhone 7 Plus outruns the S8 by quite a few hours (no video watching). I'm on fully stock and liking the device a lot. No lag, fast and reliable just like the S7 Edge which I had before this.

Absolute standby drain is the best on Galaxy A-series phones from my experience. 5-7H of SOT with 100% brightness over 4-5 days is a normal occurance for the A5 2016 which my mom owns (with lots of streaming included, phone calls & skype). Can't do that on my S8 and the iPhone 7 would die within the first 3 hours under the same use-case...

Android Oreo isn't necessary imho. It's nice that we do get the update but nearly all introduced features are features we already have had for many years on the Galaxy S-series. While other manufacturers benefit massively with Android Oreo...Samsung simply doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] robhug:
I personally expect Oreo to come for most people around early Q1 2018 , not before 2018, because last year we although though that nougat would come early as usual but it comes so late , and Samsung major os update is always a gigantic and complete overhaul in design, functionality and everything like a new phone so it takes time. a beta or something might come in Q4 2017 but it would be for sure either a beta or only for a specific country etc, so before most of s8 around the world get the update its not for tomorrow (its my personal opinion only)

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] charackthe:
So, basically you are saying that neither of your mic nor earpice works but when you use the headphone jack and restart few times it works for a while. I'm no expert but I'd say that there might be something stuck or something wrong with the headphone jack. Because neither the mic nor the earpiece works. Does your speaker work while playing music?

Issue with Stock Email app; Sub-folders of "Inbox" don't show up and wont sync

I am having an issue with the stock email app on my TMobile Note 8. I am using an active exchange account for work in which I have many sub-folders under "Inbox."

On all previous versions of the email app on previous galaxies, I had to set the sync behavior of those sub-folder manually or they would not sync and I would not get emails sent to those folders.

On the Note 8 email app, I am not able to access the sub-folder's sync settings as the interface has changed and only the base "Inbox" folder is shown. And of course, the old default behavior of sub-folders being set to never sync is still there, so I don't get emails sent to those folder and there is no way to adjust their sync setting.

Anyone else run into this or am I missing something?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jeux_1:
I am sorry I can't help you with Samsung email app but have you tried Nine?

I'm having the same issue with my work Galaxy s8.

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

I found a way to get them to at least show up - tap on the three lines at the top (hamburger menu), and long tap on Inbox, create subfolder. Call it whatever you want and hit ok. All my subfolders showed up from there. From there, you can select which folders to sync in the normal folder sync menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] spidey44:
I am able to get to the subfolders ; you need to go to setting in the email app; then pick the account; then click on folder sync and pick the folders. After you need to look at all folders and you should see them sync'd
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Znorfi:
Sorry for the necro-bump but did you ever get this working because I'm having the exact same issue on my Galaxy A8.

Do you still have the same phone? Is it still working like this because that option isn't even in my version of the app (v.5.0.05.9).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Futant:
Yes, it was a case of the user interface not being intuitive for me. When in the left pane of the email app, at the bottom there is a section that says "All Folders". There is a carrot that you can click on to expand it. This is where I got tripped up. Under "All Folders" you have to click the "Inbox" folder, it will then expand and show your sub-folders of your inbox.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Znorfi:
Oh, yeah I already knew how I can access the sub-folders :) The issue for me is I cannot get them to sync and show notifications as email arrives, as it does with mail that goes to the main Inbox. Sync schedule is set to "Auto (when received)" but it only seems to register to the Inbox and I cannot find any settings specific for folders as u/spidey44 suggested.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Futant:
Are you able to access the "Folder Sync" setting under "Exchange ActiveSync Settings"? In that setting you can expand "Inbox" by clicking on it and your sub-folders should be displayed. Next to each is a toggle switch that enables sync for that particular sub-folder. They default to off. The sync behavior is set in the menu above "Folder Sync".

You can access this menu by opening the left panel and tapping the settings gear, then tap on the email address you are targeting and scroll near the bottom.

I think that is what you are looking for?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Znorfi:
Sorry, I totally missed that you used Exchange. I'm using regular IMAP and it does not give a separate sync-option for folders/sub-folders :( Thx, for the help though. I have mailed Samsung-support about it but not putting faith in them being able to help much. Probably a bug in the app not giving proper sync-options.

Hey everyone. Has anybody found a wallet case that also allows wireless charging?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] gooberdude:
No wallet cases to fit, and wireless charging don't work on 3 year old devices, including the Note 8.0.

Not with our devices it will. Don't post if it does not pertain to our devices, else somebody will expect it to work or break something.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] emike09:
Yes, it does work with our devices. I've got my Note 8 sitting in the official LED Wallet case on the wireless charger, with a drivers license and a $20 between the phone and the wireless charger, and it's fast charging. No need to be such a naysayer. Do you have the same case and wireless charger, and are not able to wirelessly charge?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] emike09:
Ah, I see why you said what you did, this XDA forum is for the Note 8 tablet. So confusing on Samsung's part. I gotta switch to the correct Note 8 forum. Looks like everyone else is flooding the tablet forum with posts for the phone too.

It works fine with the wireless charger.

I bought a Moto x 2014 off eBay, it is such an amazing device. I noticed that kingroot no longer works. Is there anyway to downgrade? Sunshine also says the firmware is incompatible. I didn't know it had the latest otas when I got it. It's in mint condition

EDIT: It is the AT&T Variant with Security patch 2016-08-01

EDIT: Said screw it and got the Verizon Variant. Yay bootloader unlock
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
I think the best current root method is Magisk. But, before you start doing anything with your phone, you should unlock the bootloader, so that you have more flashing options. First thing to do is enable Developer Options, in Settings, About phone, tap Build number 7 times, go back to Developer Options and enable USB Debugging, and Allow bootloader unlock, if you have that option.

The latest ADB and Fastboot: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

In Bootloader mode:

fastboot getvar all

Copy and save all that info into Notepad and keep it, then:

fastboot oem get_unlock_data

Copy what you get into Notepad, and save it.

Then go to Motorola's website to get the unlock code (you need to sign in):

It's the AT&T Variant it says it does not qualify for bootloader unlocking. Sunshine is unable to work with the firmware and Kingroot doesn't work. Security patch 2016-08-01
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
I'm not familiar with carrier variants, but you might be able to downgrade because you can supposedly flash stock factory images with a locked bootloader. Since you already have the latest update, NEVER EVER flash "gpt.bin" and "motoboot.img" or you may brick the phone; those 2 files cannot be downgraded (partition table and bootloader).

I'm not sure if Magisk works with a locked bootloader, usually most things require a custom recovery, which you can't flash with a locked bootloader.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konner920:
I will try that soon, I hope I can downgrade it. This phone rocks even with 5.1
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konner920:
Sorry for double post. Since the bootloader is locked

"mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

target max-sparse-size: 256MB

sending 'boot' (10200 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.363s]

writing 'boot'...

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 0.592s

"

I can still get into android but it will not downgrade.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BootloopedMillennials:
Magisk won't work on locked bootloader.

I also don't think it's possible to downgrade stock factory images with stock recovery. At least I've heard it can brick devices.

Don't quote me on this but OP might be out of luck. That's the latest ATT security update, which doesn't have a way to temp root so he can unlock the bootloader.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konner920:
Luckily fastboot oem fb_mode_reset fixes the boot up. No brick since I didn't touch gpt.bin/motoboot.img but yeah I'm pretty SOL. I love the phone, it works great as it is. I'll just wait and see if someone cracks it.

YOUR

needs best. No one here has any idea your level of proficiency or to what end you use your device.

If you are not familiar with the WM6.1 ROMS or flashing or fixing the F'ups flashing can cause just using one of the 6.0 RTM ROMs, then I would urge you to just wait. All of the available ROMS that are 6.1 take some degree of tweaking & hacking to get them running correctly. At least for me, but I am dependent on several apps that I must run & don't work well with 6.1. It took me 4 hours to get them all running again & involved hacking the registry.

Unless have some experience with these things or just don't care what runs & what doesn't & are prepared to hack your way through the issues, I'd wait.

If you can't wait then you can think about Sleuth maybe. Understand though, most of the 6.1 ROMS available are WWE or Chinesse. I don't know your primary language or provider because your profile is completely lacking.
