Purely a guess, but could it be shutting off to prevent it being damaged. Heat maybe?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ohdev:
No, because im not using it, it was not open before i tried to use it.

Also if i open the camera, its flash works just fine.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Trooper27:
Curious if anyone else made the switch? I did, but not exactly by choice. I am curious if it is ok to use the Pixel XL wall charger to charge the S8 with?

Any deals on wireless chargers that anyone is aware of? I looked on Amazon but not a ton at the moment. Do I need the official one or will any one do?

Finally, thoughts on the UAG Monarch? Have read both good and bad reviews. Only have a Spigen Rugged Armor at the moment but am a bit concerned about protection.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] bigdave79:
Yeah, I made the switch from the Pixel XL to S8. Also not by choice (Pixel was stolen).

It's a decent phone but despite the older chipset, the pixel felt smoother overall. I also think the camera on the pixel was slightly better but this one has OIS which is a big plus. I also like having wireless charging again and the waterproofing is great, I've taken it into the pool a few times.

I think it's fine to use the Pixel charger (I have done so) but it probably won't fast charge, just regular speed.

Same with wireless chargers. You should probably get one that specifically states it will fast charge the S8 because I got one which advertised fast wireless charging but it doesn't fast charge my S8 (with the stock S8 wall charger) for whatever reason. Regular charging works fine which is ok for me since I just drop it on there at night or in the office.

Spigen should be sufficient for protection. I have a couple of Ringke cases and have dropped the phone 2-3 times without a scratch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] lalew25:
I just switched from Pixel XL to the S8 Plus. I like the brighter screen on the S8 Plus but the new ratio isn't so great. Most of my apps now have a large black space at the top and the bottom, any don't run correctly with the fit to screen option. I think the camera might be slightly better on the S8 Plus but I'll miss that unlimited storage. The waterproofing and the memory card support were the biggest factors for me to change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] davidisflash:
Also not by choice. I had the Pixel (not the XL) and now have the S8 (not the S8+).

With verizon I had a nagging (known issue for a rare number of users) where the microphone would not produce sound. This meant that recording videos would have no sound, system alarm wouldn't go out, and Android Auto in my car would often times not connect (it must have some API dependency on system sound).

There's a known soldering issue reported by Google where one of the Pixel microphones has an issue. I was sent a replacement with the Verizon warranty program. Two issues with the replacement:

1) I couldn't OEM unlock anymore so I couldn't root. I was NOT pleased. I thought about requesting a direct one from Google but thought that would raise suspicion on wanting to OEM unlock.

2) It too had this issue.

I could have gone through yet another replacement but threw in the towel. I loved that phone and wonder if this issue was actually a Verizon issue. I like that the S8 finally has root. I love it. It'd be nice to have an unlocked bootloader but root is definite progress (at least I can install Viper now).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] SquaredDev:
I currently use both. Have a Pixel XL and S8+ through Verizon. I use the Pixel XL mostly as my daily driver, but use the S8 plus as my truck GPS mostly and with my VR headset to watch movies while in the bunk. Pixel just feels more natural to me. Better camera, imo. Though the UI Samsung has created is pretty snappy. I think the main deal breaker for me is the location of the fingerprint scanner/gesture reader. The one dead center on the pixel feels more naturally placed. Also, the pixel's glass seems more stronger. I have dropped the pixel from my semi and it not shatter... dropped the s8 from my bed onto a wood floor and it has a shatter in the top right corner.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] The_Tech_Princess:
I have a Pixel (non XL) and just got the S8+. I think Ill be going to the S8 because the plus is a little too big for me. Aside from that I think I like the S8 family much more than the Pixel (I know it makes me a terrible person, saying that). Oh well, regardless, there are a LOT of things I love about my S8 over my Pixel. Yep, I use the same type C charger for both, the one that came with my Pixel.

I also was getting that, I too had to factory reset it, I miss Titanium backup [emoji20]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] aschaffer35:
Unfortunately it seems factory reset is the way to go. I tried clearing cache / data under the App, uninstall, reboot, re-install directly from Samsung's store and no dice. Factory Reset got it.

I miss Titanium as well! But I used the Samsung Cloud to backup my messages and settings so at least it was better than nothing. Better to do it now while it's still early :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fatboypup:
Ugh factory reset ... can you still run a backup and restore? I'll uninstall it back up, factory reset and restore

[General Questions and Answers] mauribubble:
Hello, I hope this is the right forum for my question. I searched already but apparently there is not an answer.

I listen digital music using j River Media Center and I installed Gizmo android app on a tablet as a remote controller and also to listen locally on a headphones. Gizmo is limited to compress music (up to 320Kbps) so I searched for a player supporting the lossless and HD music I archived on my library. Apparently Bubbleupnp is a solution, because Gizmo can select this player instead off the internal one. I bought therefore Bubbleupnp and after the configuration everything work well. The only (great) problem is that when the app plays HD music by-passed by Gizmo on the screen is shown as MP3/48KHz or MP3/96KHz. Of course I disable the transcoding with lossless file. Playing instead with Bubblupnp the same song is displayed simply as "Flac" without any other info.

So the questions are: Am I really listening to transcoded music and, if yes, I how I must configure the app to listen lossless? Or: Is it a misleading message? or, again: in this configuration is impossible to listen in lossless and/or HD mode?

Many thanks in advance.

Maurizio

Yea you're phone is not recoverable via flashing normal firmware. You flashed the wrong firmware. You will need to bring it to someone who has the ability to do an edl (emergency download mode) repair which is very difficult to do so it's likely better to try and get it replaced.

In this mode you cannot even put your phone into download mode or even recovery. It's because the bootloader is messed up, you must have a service rom to fix it, or there are ways to put your phone into download mode using a sdc. It's a hard brick.

There is a way to make a debrick sd card, someone needs a rooted s8 and make a back up of the system and then using partition software make a sd card and your phone can at this point boot and go into download off the sd card which will allow you to flash thru odin.. just google how to debrick using sd card and all the instruction in making one will be there.

can also search XDA for a debrick.img file as well... also found a video titled "How to make an Unbrick Image for ANY Samsung phone with ONE-CLICK!!" there is lots of ways to fix a phone, only time I have ever seen a real brick is when it has a hardware failure which will render it completely dead. Any failed attempts from flashing wrong firmware have been resolvable in one way or another...

When I run G950U2_recovery.bat the process hangs mid way, attached is a screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Nathan.7118391:
Well the first problem I see is that your last firmware was G950U1 and this recovery file is for the G950U2. The second problem is you are going to have to find the G950U1 recovery file (if they made one). If you get into the bootloop again that's a good thing. Just get into download mode and flash the G950U1 firmware and then back to stock for a full recovery. But now it's a bit difficult if you are hard bricked. I'm sure someone else has had the problem too while using the G950U1 firmware so check the forums including the TMO S8 XDA forum which may hold some answers. Good luck!

Jtag dead phone to life and rewrite IMEI

First of all my phone is the s8+ G955fd, but I am sure that the people that helped me can help most Samsung owners with bricked phones.

My phone ended up being stuck on the first boot screen, I couldn't get into recovery or download mode. I installed TWRP and after that I lost my IMEI numbers( dual sim), so I tried to reflash stock and thats when i became bricked. I searched someone to help and found reference to the Fonefunshop in England. I sent it there and they said that the eMMC chip was bad. I searched for someone who could write to it or put a new one on the motherboard . I found A2Z cellular in Ottawa Canada. They used jtag to restore it to stock and they told me that the Fonefunshop had not opened the phone which is necessary to use jtag as they claimed, so avoid them.

The phone was now back doing everything it should except the IMEI's were null like before. I gave them the original IMEI's and the phone is working like new.

If your Samsung is bricked these guys can probably fix it and it won't cost much to find out.
