[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] hi_mam:

i want battery as Text
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] vdhero:
go to setting and set battery icon to text and you can get a battery bar with precentage
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] hi_mam:
np i know that .. how can remove battery icon ..i want Text only
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] vdhero:
You can't. Why would some one use battery text only? It's kinda weird.

I recently upgraded to the new 1.33 HTC ROM on my Excalibur. I have to say I'm greatly pleased with the upgrade except when I'm trying to look up a contact name that has a "Z" in it, it won't recognize it.

I read a few posts regarding this matter on the new ROM thread but apparently nobody has posted a solution.

I would appreciate if someone shed some light on the subject.

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:
Bump

Yeah, I'm looking for a fix for this as well. Not sure why this Rom would fail to have this. No complaints by any means but that and the a/# toggle to switch between profiles.

Any advice or direction much appreciated. :)

I have no idea why Motorola doesn't give us any updates my device is a month old and still stuck on January security update absolutely stunned! Anyone have anything to say please get your frustration out here.

Welcome to Lenovo's Motorola!

Like it or not, Lenovo is horrible with updates, probably one of the worst of the "big" name brands in the last 18-24 months.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] MrBelter:
Thats nowt, my daughters Moto G4 has just had a repair while still in its first year of warranty and they aren't even updating that to Oreo and there is no reason they cant other than to try to get you to buy a new phone from there overly bloated product line up. Google should force makers to provide updates for 18 months after a product goes EOL.

Worst thing Google did was to sell the Motorola brand to Lenovo, great handsets but shocking support these days.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] divvykev:
This is exactly why mine is up for sale now. Needed an ugent replacement after my NExus 5x did it's stuff. As a phone it does what it should (apart from compass!!!!! I mean...why????) anyway, I now have a Wileyfox which doesnt feel as solid but is up to date and a damn sight more hackable. Shows a desperate lack of understanding of Android users from Lenovo / Motorola. We tend to be fickle and need either updating or letting us hack the bugger.

Sad really. Still wont go over to the dark side though ;)

FYI, I used the Toolkit you can find on XDA to update to the latest version for potter found on androidfilehost.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] skooter32:
What is the build number tho am not familiar with any updates for retail gb?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Nice. So first impressions anyone? So far the rejection rate on the fingerprint scanner is a lot lower than it was on the s8+, my iris scanner also seems faster. Standby time seems good but it's still too early to say. I'm really loving this phone so far.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] imatts:
I ordered mine on Sep 8, waited anxiously refreshing the "My Orders" page obsessively, waiting for "Starts Shipping September 15" to change. Well, the 15th came up and it changed to "Shipped" at around 5AM, and got to my door at 1PM via Purolator. Insanely quick, although it only came from Toronto and I live just a few cities away.

Phone has been pretty awesome so far. There is some slight bezel bleed in certain angles, but nothing compared to how bad it was on my Note 7.

Battery life is a little above average for all other phones I've ever had, I used to obsess over max usage but really don't care anymore. I am however, missing a rooted phone, and am considering selling this phone once I receive the promo stuff, and then ordering the F model.

One thing I did notice in comparison with the Note 5, is the S-Pen is much better to write/draw with because it has considerably more grip. When you first start using it, you won't feel it, but it will happen once the tip softens up a little bit. Also, with the S-Pen button having a hold-to-erase function, I found it pretty annoying that there isn't a clear indication as to which side the button is on. I can't really complain in that regard though lol.

I work in mobile and didn't have much time on my phone today, but throughout the 12hrs so far, I've gotten adequate usage. Most of it was light browsing, drawing, games, and then a couple hours of video watching. All while brightness was 70%, GPS, BT, LTE on, FHD resolution with a density of 530 (thats why everything is tiny). So this usage is definitely considered light.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] balpreetsaini:
Sorry, I meant to say Mobile Care. $170/yr, $130 deductible, covers accidental damage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WorldIRC:
Looks like all Canadian units may be "Network Unlocked" out of the box. I bought mine from the Samsung Store and the employee noted that while my phone would still brand to the first SIM inserted, I would no longer need to input an Unlock Code to allow other SIM cards to be used. I tested this and he was right. The box also shows "NU" on the side of the box. I brought this up on RFD, and another member, who purchased their phone carrier locked from a Rogers store, advised they too had an "NU" model.

Looks like Samsung may have started selling their phones Network Unlocked in anticipation of the upcoming changes requiring all phones to be sold unlocked, with the Note 8 as the first model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Thats good. Makes sense since as of December they have to be unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] greatg:
Did anyone receive any of the Bonus gifts with their Note 8? Is Samsung going to ship these separately?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
My offer still says "pending" on the Samsung site unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WorldIRC:
You needed to register on Samsung during the pre-order period, and then register your device with Samsung after purchase. This will trigger Samsung to ship the gifts to you. Make sure your address is complete on your Samsung Account as well.

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

I suspect it'll take a number of days to review.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

Agreed. I wonder how they'll deal with the upcoming iPhone launch since those locks are controlled remotely.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nighthawk29:
Mine still shows pending as well. I pre-registered after placing my preorder and logged in on my phone but still shows pending. Clicking the little "?" says it's pending review or something like that. I guess they verify the preorder with the retailer first?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vm007:
First, impression for me is- this was an upgrade worthy device for me coming from N5 after N7 fiasco. However, had I bought N7 then I might have skipped this gen but coming from 2 year old tech I'm glad-I didn't buy S7Edge and got this instead.

For my personal usage. The battery is outstanding and 2.5 hours or so more SOT than N5.

I'm also using adhell-however , just to block facebook and what not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Anyone buying he Exynos model in Canada?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] greatg:
Yes, its great that the phones are unlocked. I just found out (after spending an hour on the phone with Rogers) that if you purchase a phone directly from Samsung, Rogers will not activate WIFI calling. They told me some BS that the phone needs to be purchased from Rogers and is specially configured for VOLTE. Anyone have a code or know of a way to get this working. I'm not about to give Rogers more $$$.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
Was wondering about this too -- did you end up purchasing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] balpreetsaini:
Just using the carrier protection plan.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

I had a Bell S7 that I unlocked and changed to a Rogers CSC and got wifi calling and VOLTE working. Call Rogers, don't tell them where you bought a phone, just that you want to register the IMEI for your phone on account.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] millicent:
FYI, Samsung Canada support, as of today, still claims they're working out the previous note 7 owners offer. Or so they've just told me.

Since it's been a month now since 'it's coming soon' answers, do you think it's just a plain lie?

On the other hand, I don't really understand why they'd keep lying, couldn't really serve any purpose here, could it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
This whole thing is really strange.

I wonder how many of us who were Note7 users in Canada placed preorders for the Note8?

Probably not an insignificant amount..

IF Samsung Canada does something here, a month later, there had better be some kind of rebate/accessories/free extended warranty options for people who've already purchased.. Well I hope so anyway
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Seeing as the pre-orders for the note 8 were actually higher than the ones for the note 7 how would Samsung justify throwing more money at us?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] millicent:
Maybe it's just me, but would appreciate an honest answer so I know what my options are.

It wouldn't bother me that much the absence of any offer really. However, if it were that Samsung lied for a month or so, that's something I would remember when having to choose between a Samsung product and other brands.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I totally agree with you. However, I've long made peace with the fact that Samsung does not give a **** about us Canadians. My loyalty for them is purely functional at this point. I got the note8 because in my opinion it's the best phone available period. If xiaomi made a knock off that did exactly the same thing for 300$ less I'd buy it. As far as them lying... Which company does not stretch or spin the truth for capital gains.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
I got the unlocked model at bestbuy.

Do the updates came from Samsung or it's based on the carrier SIM that I have in the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] x111:
why the f... we have In Canada those shi...y phones with locked bootloader ??!!

I cannot use them !!

Now I have to overpay and bring my phone from UK !!

I hate so much those criminal mobile carriers that we have in Canada !!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I think it has more to do with Snapdragon having the license for America rather than the providers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Problem with getting Exynos version in Canada is no proper warranty and the antenna is not properly tuned for our region/bands.

So we pretty much have to stick with Snapdragon variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] x111:
uk version n950f looks like had all north America bands.

Snapdragon variant is dead, it's equal to not to have it at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Yes but its optimized for their bands so it won't prefrom as well in Canada. It will work though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
I have the FD version of the S8+ and it works flawlessly and none of "he antenna is not properly tuned for our region/bands." I just ordered the F version as well.

If you want to educate yourself on the topic, head on over to https://willmyphonework.net/ and you'll find out what is going on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
I'm an antenna designer that worked for a phone company for 10 years.

When a phone is region specific you tune the antenna for the region and bands it's uses. This is the main reason you have so many different variants. That's why Canada gets its own version.

You tune it for bands 2,4,7,17 mainly for Canada and other bands are there and they work ok but they are meant for roaming. So it's a bonus. If you didn't do the specific tuning the devices would not pass CTIA, GCF, and carrier requirements.

I'm just trying to let you know that European device will work but the performance could be a little worse. Meaning if you have weak signal somewhere the Canadian tuned device will do better.

I've designed and tested this and it's just how it is. If it was simple we would have one variant for the whole world, with so many bands it's besically impossible to do it and pass all requirements.

If the EU version works fine for you go for it. It will likely be fine. Knowing what I know it's hard for me to do it because I spend a lot of time in low coverage area.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
My apologies, All I can say is that I haven't had an issues with Bell and foreign Samsung devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
I agree I have very highly considering getting the international version too for rooting purposes.

No need to apologize.

If you do get it let us know. How much are they?

If Samsung designers are very good the difference might be very very small that it's not noticable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
There's an ongoing problem with oem unlock to root the device. I have tried to 230pm different sellers. Average $1200. Had to return both. I have one coming from UK clove tech, apparently they are good to go. I also buy international for rooting purposes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
So even the Exynos model is not fully rooted yet or without issues? All I've seen is that they have TWRP.

I started using Android Pay so root has been an issue for that too unless you mess with magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
*2 different devices. I currently use S8+ from Singapore and it works great. Magisk rooted and android pay works fantastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
I still have a problem with kind of giving up seufirty with root. My device has all my banking info. Any app you have root access means it can do whatever you wants. You really need to trust the devlopers. Most are legit but it's still very sensitive information.

I came from a Pixel where I was rooted for 6 months but now reconsidering after reading a lot about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Meh, I don't worry whatsoever. I only install a few selected apps that require root and they can see I have no money lol. I mainly root for ROMS and the customization they bring to the table. Also viper4android and font changes.

Yeah Viper is amazing for anyone who has the ear for audio.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Too bad there is no blue. Looks the best in my opinion. Anyway that's a small issue. I really wish I could compare the 2 models as this is better deal even. I'm guessing 0 warranty?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nighthawk29:
Are you with Wind aka Freedom Mobile? Haven't had this issue with my Note 8 with Koodo. I remember though with my short-lived Note 7 and the Note 4 when I was with Wind before they changed to Freedom I had that same issue all the time when leaving a wifi network.

If you're not with Freedom the disregard the above and I have not experienced that so far (fingers crossed).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Nah on Rogers. I've had my experience with Wind. No thanks. LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] canadoc01:
Got my charger at card today even though still says pending in the website. Weird.

Am also disappointed in that my screen has a more yellow brown tint than any of the display models in many stores I have gone too. Am with videotron and they said nothing they could do as is not a defect but variance.

Anyone think going to a Samsung center would do anything about the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tobalman:
Yes, but I wish to use MobileData toggle to enable data. When there is no wi-fi.

Anyone found the way to root the North American (snapdragon) version yet?

Note8 is a great phone, but without root, it's useless to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I'd say it's worth the try tbh. If anyone can do something it's them. They are usually pretty quick too. Make sure that your phone is backed up before bringing it in case they wipe it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] canadoc01:
I hear you but Bixby is pretty fast and easy. Am using it for changing various settings and macros
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] canadoc01:

Hi Guys,

is samsung pay installed by default on your Note 8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rocky272727:
no
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LimitsX:
Agree with this one. I used international, it has all bands, but i had severe signal issues with telus. Basically, i had no LTE-A, when it is capable of it. Plus weak signal.

If people want to customize, get pixel, or oneplus 5. Their modems and stuff work well and you can customize.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Curious why is the phone useless to you without root. Since root is becoming more of a pain and almost not needed for any mods anymore.

It's tough when google and playstore even is blocking some apps if safety net fails. It's only the beginning.

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

I agree with that. You are likely better of getting a Pixel to play around anyway. Crap load of ROMs and first devices to get root.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitr0burn:
Seems to be a rare few that treat their phone as an atm or debit card and those that do are smart enough to use a 2nd form of authentication like a USB fob.

Just because you dont root doesn't mean you have a special layer of security that can't be breached. Well maybe a tiny tiny bit extra if you don't install any apps, but then go get a bank card.
