I'm not one of the complainers as I'm getting 5am - 11pm time on my phone with usage...

but wanted to comment on that phone life... I just upgraded from a note 3 so yeah I'm keeping this for a while.

only gripe I have now is simple... thought I could live without it but I have to keep my note 3 handy for this... the IR Blaster!!!! yeah sounds weird but I used it at 3 neighbors garages, my living room, front living room and never had to yell at the kids asking where is the remote.

It's day2 with my Note8. I AM very happy with the phone. I had a s7 edge . The thing I really hate is that the phone is very heavy compared with s7 edge

I do too! Just scroll down. I have the verizon model pre-ordered from samsung....

How about those of us who just want to use our phones as a WiFi hotspot with the unlimited data that we are already paying for but companies like Verizon won't let us! Is that a reason to complain? I think it is & that's the main reason I root. Don't generalize.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vash_h:
i was on the samsung note 2.. i loved it.. and i was like the OP.. i hated non-removable batteries.

My next phone was the Sony Z3.. non-removable battery. works fine.

then it got me wondering. Why would i need a removable battery? i dont have a second battery.. and whn the battery life was weak, i replaced it (yeah one of the main advantage of having a removable battery) with an original samsung battery, and the battery life improved, slightly. Still bad. It was then i realize, battery life is not just dependant on the battery itself. Aging electronics contribute to the battery life.. by FAR.

Fast forward to the Sony Z3. used it for 2yrs plus.. no issue with battery. compared with the 3yrs i was on note 2 though..

i have no problems with non-removable battery anymore. the removable battery after using several years isnt really a factor anymore. it doesnt really improve battery life. IT DOES IMPROVE but just by a little bit. perhaps an hour more.

My main issue, which is the current trend sadly.. is the SIM CARD HYBRID TRAY. I want to use dual sim AND a MicroSD card. PLEASE... just add a slot for MicroSD... i tried those hybrid drive SIM card adapters, those with a SIM tray dangling outside.. breaks far too easily :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
That's simple. Change carriers. I'm with T-Mobile and have hotspot and unlimited data. Their coverage map may be different but in my purely anecdotal experience it isn't that different and they've got 600 mHz coming.

Using your example, your problem is with the carrier, not the failure to root your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bdlagain:
T-Mobile doesn't work where I am....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
Far be it for me to preach ethics, but if Verizon doesn't give free hotspot, isn't bypassing that stealing? It's technically not your data if you're planning to use it in ways contrary to your contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Warrior1975:
I've avoided the note series since the Note 4 due to the battery. LG V10, V20, and another phone or two. This is the first phone I've had without removable battery, and I definitely miss it. But, since this my first note in a few years, I'm definitely happy to be back. Note series is much better than the LG V series.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fragtion:
If the water resistance depends on the battery being non-removable, then it's probably better that it comes non-removable by default. But if you really must replace the battery, then all you're basically sacrificing (if the process is done correctly/carefully), is the water resistance anyway. There are a few teardown vids on youtube documenting the process of removing the back cover to get access to the battery. Considering how often you'd realistically need to do this (after 3+ years.. ?) it therefore makes sense to prefer the water resistance. Personally, my reasons for supporting the idea of a removable battery would be based more on the control aspect - ie being able to power-cycle the device at all costs, eg if the software becomes unresponsive. However, if there is an alternative way to do this ie with the combination of device's side buttons acting as internal hw reset switch, and such method proves to be equally RELIABLE, then what other motivation do we really have to keep removable batteries (aside for just being able to switch batteries around for the hell of it) and does this outweigh the benefit of water resistance? It's a complicated matter, but a no-brainer at the same time. I loved my note 4, but no doubt Samsung still got it right with the N8 in that regard
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IMHashir:
Ok so my Nexus 5X (16GB) (Oreo OP6) got stuck in a bootloop yesterday. I was just using the phone and it got hanged and then bootloop!!!

I can get into bootloader but not into recovery. I previously had a locked bootloader but then I managed to boot into phone my placing in freezer for half an hour. Phone booted for few minutes, I enabled OEM unlocking, unlocked bootloader and flashed stock image with flash-all.sh file.

Now phone still stucks into bootloop. It just works for a few minutes when put in freezer but then stucks in bootloop again.

Is there any way to fix this issue permanently?

Does the disabling cores method works permanently? If so, can anyone provide me with patched boot image for Oreo?

Is there any other possible way to fix this issue permanently???

[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Imotep95:
OnePlus has always been praised for having clean, near-stock software, and a big advantage of this is that updates are much easier to push out. Case in point: the OnePlus 3 has already received Android 8.0 Oreo via the closed beta group, with the newer 3T and 5 receiving it soon as well. Plus, OnePlus is hoping for an Oreo public beta by the end of September.

Hello
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SpartaKurd:
Do you really think that we will get an oreo update till the end of September? Well, my opinion is that the possibility is quite low.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
Depends how fast they can fix things but we are talking about OP here... OOS is still buggy after reports from pretty much everyone and all they add is crap like watermarks etc in camera app. Let's hope they can get it out before anyone else then I'll be impressed
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masteryates:
Last year, OP promised Nougat by the end of the year and true to there word, it arrived on New Years Eve. If they manage the same feat this year, I for one, will be impressed. :highfive:

I know this will be the last major update so lets hope its nice and stable will no major bugs or battery draining issues. :cool:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
I hope too but not much faith in OP on the software side. Lets hope they push the 8.x.x updates and not just give us 8.0 like with 7.0 is was a mess few devices I own suffer from the battery life issues and what not from that because OEM didn't push 7.1.x with the fixes
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masteryates:
I agree that battery life is worse in Nougat. However, this is also the case with my Galaxy Tab S2 so it may be a general Nougat issue as opposed to a One Plus issue. Apart from this, I've always found OOS to be excellent and without bugs with great functionality. Samsung could learn a lot from One Plus.

Apart from the split screen mode, I'd go back to MM in a second if there were monthly security updates on both devices.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SpartaKurd:
So you think that the next Open Beta for OOS or H2OS will come with Android 8 ?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
End of September according to the leak but going on OP timeline every 2 weeks we should get another N in next few days then probably Oreo
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SpartaKurd:
Actually, thought the same! :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cypher dude:
It's already October and no sign of OREO yet.we got the OOS 4.5.0 though :silly:

When I go into Odin and try to flash the factory binary I get the following in Odin. There has to be an easier way to get these features on this phone. I've spent hours on this and now I have to restore my phone again. Yes I have the latest Samsung drivers and latest Odin that is recommended per the guides.

Go to updato.com

Download the latest fw for the G950W

Delete .md5 off the end of every file after extraction

Use MODDED Odin and flash them all. (CSC, NOT HOME CSC)

Go back to update.com

Download latest VZW firmware for the G950U

Delete .md5 off the end of every file after extraction

Use MODDED Odin and flash them all. (CSC, NOT HOME CSC)

Post flash it will boot into recovery and install stuff. Watch for it to turn off, soon as it does hold Volume Up + Bixby button to get back into recovery. It'll say No Command for a minute, wait... When recovery pops up wipe data a couple times then reboot.

You should have a Verizon S8

it gives me that short vibration for a second then nothing.

I found OEM unlocking in the developer options and it requires a device pin. Anyone know what this is or how I can get it?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IM0001:
Is this a Sprint model? Or who's SIM did you stick into there?

It might be "locked" when you register it with a carrier which is why I always OEM unlock it before I do anything else with a new device. You might have to call the carrier to see if they can supply said Pin in this case.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tlxxxsracer:
Device pin would be the pin you setup on your lockscreen. Unlocking the bootloader adds a security risk, that's why it asks for it.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] skw5115:

Hello!

I'm new here, please bear with me... Also i'm norwegian, which i will use as an excuse.

Well, to the point...

I currently have vjgraces WM6 v3.7 on my Tornado (qtek8310).

In my SMS inbox the left softkey is "delete", but in WM5 the left softkey is "new". Is there any way to change this?

Also, in messaging "app", is there any way to add Hotmail as a option there, as I could in WM5?

Jarle

edit: these are not critical problems, I can learn to live with it. I just got MSN to work over wifi also, so the hotmail-issue is not so critical. But i would be nice to have the e-mails on the phone tho.

Also, anyone got a good notepad-app to recommend?

edit2: Got a lot on my mind today... :P

IP Phone. Does it ever work? In the Settingsmenu in Comm manager it doesn't work to select ip phone, and i cant find it in start->settings->connections.

Is this option disabled? Would be great to call for free in wifi-zones.

Sorry if a lot of my questions are noob and such, but as i said, im norwegian.

Also, (lots of alsos here today), before, with WM5, if I had the phone connected to my computer with USB, I could surf on the phone using the computers internett connection. Now I cant, why?
