[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] prfraczek:
Whatever you say you always find people WITHOUT lags.

S8 lags and drops frames- if someone objects put 5 minutes video on YouTube.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] SrKag:
I find the s7 and s8 not laggy with exynos

I have have had the s3 s4 s5-x2 s7 and s8. Of all the s3 and s4 i can say had lag but that was then. My s8 (also my s7) has no lag, animation at 0. I use BK disabler and kill all the bloatware and few other apps and i have use many launchers and have no lag. WEB apps are not the phones problem its your Provider with bad service is the causing the lag. Facebook and twitter and mail services all add to the WEB apps and that is what causes lag, too much back ground services running on the net and lag gets created. Bad services with too much back ground data draw on that bad service are directly related to the lag on the phone. Every phone will have lag at some time but reducing bad service and data hogging apps, will give you the desired phone operation your looking for. Hey good examples of lag is like new years time most all networks bog with congestion of all the texts to each other and your friends and family your wishes like millions do. You overload the phone it lags, you overload the service you get lag. :rolleyes:

In Oreo beta 5 no lag anymore and give me a fast phone I ever use . I hope the final version stay same . And stop use ton of app, and crappy coded app and after that your phone work well ! Same as a computer if install 3 anti virus and office suite + open office suite And 2 browser with 10 tab open ... you need 16gb ram and I7 last generation !

So with phone with 4gb ram (or 6...) use your phone with consideration of this !

Ps sorry for my bad English.... I hope you still understand me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Sh0rty007:
I know exactly what you mean.

I come from an iPhone 7 and yes damn lags on s8. It's just that iOS works better than android if you look at performance, or the apps are better in lerformanxe/design and if you come from iOS yes android kinda needs to grow on you again.

Mostly the lags are certain apps by the way in my case at least and not the phone itself. Using nova launcher and set off animations.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] malimukk:
I really dont understand what you guys are talking about. I have zero lag with all possible google and microsoft apps installed. Including social media (fb, insta, snap, viber etc.)

Exynos variant with all settings to default and no disabled apps. There might be some other reason for your problems?

Yesterday i had sell my samsung s8 because off the lag and iris scaner. I have buy oneplus 5T,never made a better choice. It works like a charm.

No lag for me on my s8+ G955FD Overall love my device ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
Had this device since September last year, and can honestly say I've never experienced significant lag, it's been pretty good and only a few stutters here and there, I'm in oreo beta 5 and the phone is smooth as hell
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Hejok:
I have galaxy s8 with exynos. Mine lags too, i have been using it with animations off for months with nova launcher. Now i opened animations at 0,5x speed, it is kind of resolved. I will post after a few weeks usage. If it continues i believe it is because exynos processor. I hear snap dragon models of samsung are far better than exynos models of the same phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ikerarroyo:
When you update to Oreo, you'll see it suddenly becomes smooth. It is not as smooth as it is expected for a flagship, but still, it's better than fluency in Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Maspon:
I can't ****ing stand the lags on my S8+, which cost me 800 bucks and is more laggy than my 200 buck Redmi. Ridiculous that Samsung, a tech giant, makes phone that with superb design but worst software experience. Whoever doesn't lag put a video out on YouTube.

I planned to sell it when the Note 9 or S10 come out, but of course, if they don't lag. Otherwise I would back to iPhone or give a try to One plus, which my friends recommended a couple of times.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tiongkia:
Mine is ok. No laggy.

No root. All stock. Using bk manager to disable 70% of stock apps and greenify. Use nova and animation set at 0.5x.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] serpent2005:
Hello guys. I think it will be very difficult for the latest version of Android to be as smooth as the latest version of iOS. Apple controls both the hardware and the software including the SOC. Apple does not have to worry about making sure iOS works on a lot of different hardware configurations because there is really only a very small number of hardware configurations (usually two variants of iPhone) that Apple can target for their hardware and software. This gives them a tremendous advantage for optimizations (both hardware and software). Android cannot compete with this because it has a completely different business model. Android is developed by Google, the handset is developed by Samsung, and the SOC is developed by Qualcomm. Even though the Galaxy S8 is pushing the limits in terms of perceived performance Apple should always have an edge simply due to the fact that they control the ENTIRE hardware and software stack.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Chad_Petree:
So pixel or nothing ? :( Their software is great but their hardware is always lacking in something , also apple has like 15 iPhones/ipads to take care of now , remember pretty much all their devices up until the iPhone 5s got their latest update ! But yeah 15-20 devices is a lot better than 2000 ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lovetv:
Just get a pixel phone guys, I had the S7 edge. Switched to pixel 2 this year, voila. I love Android again! I've used Sony, tested Xiaomi and Huawei, they are still better in performance according to the specs. I just don't get why Samsung phones lags or stutter even on the high end specs...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Sohip:
it's not all green on the other side.

S9 Snapdragon user here, fluid device out of the box, but after a few months of use the software started lagging really bad. I had to backup everything and hard reset the device to get rid of the lagg. My device is not rooted, and I was using Nova Launcher with 0.5 animation speed the whole time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Nouman Warraich:
I am using an S8 international variant (with Exynos) and it is buttery smooth. I am using it more than 13 months. I switched from iPhone 7 to S8. and believe me i is much better than iPhone 7 I never regretted my decision.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] James160103:
I'm using the S8 Exynos with the latest Oreo build, still lags when you boot it up and while typing in your pin. Have had this since owing a Galaxy S3, still had it on my S5 until I installed AOSP 8.1 Oreo on it. Worked like a charm, no lag whatsoever - until the screen broke. So now that I own the S8 I know what the reason for the lag is: Sammy's heavy UI.

It just sucks.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
The factory reset doesnt put it back to 5.4.0.0 anymore, it keeps it at 5.4.0.1. The device was 5.4.0.0 when I purchased it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
If you are on 5.4.0.1, you cannot uninstall/disable system apps anymore. You can try to downgrade back to 54.0.0 using the firmware here. A few new users reported a hard brick when they tried. I don't know whether that holds any truth or not. No regular users, that I have seen (may have missed them), have tried.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
Hi DragonFire, thank you for the response. Do you know how to install that version of the OS, I tried to use the system update tool in device settings but it wont allow me due to "older version."
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Put the file into the internal storage of your tablet. Power off. Reboot to recovery by pressing and holding volume down first, then power button until Amazon logo appears. When recovery screen comes up, select update from ADB. Open an ADB window and type:

adb sideload your.file.name

Warning: A few users say this will hard brick your device. Though no regular users have tried that I know of. So the decision is yours. I am not responsible for a broken tablet.

---------- Post added at 03:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

Also see this thread. Apparently you CAN downgrade. If you try, and are successful, please let us know.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
Hello DragonFire,

For the Fire HD 8 7th Generation on 5.4.0.1, the attempt to downgrade to 5.4.0.0 using "adb sideload <filename>" in recovery failed, but the device was not bricked, everything was fine. The recovery simply showed that signature verification of the package failed.

Both good news and bad news I guess. I did a factory reset before installing the 5.4.0.0 file.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I forget...is there an option to update from SD card? If so you can try that.

EDIT: That having been said, I don't know the other methods (if there are any) to downgrade, as I have never done it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
Hello DragonFire,

Don't see the option for SD card.

The link you gave me on this thread is for Fire (7th Generation). I saw there is another link on amazon for Fire HD 8 (7th Generation). I used the one for Fire HD 8 (7th Generation) and the downgrade failed, bricking the device. Can not power it on or do anything.

No way to downgrade Fire HD 8 7th Generation for now unless you want to hard brick it.

This doesn't void the warranty does it? I didnt really break or hack anything, just try to restore it back to the good old 5.4.0.0
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
No. If you want to return it to Amazon for a courtesy replacement, you have 30 days from the day of purchase.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
The warranty is 90 days though, I asked the support and they told me to mail the device to them and they will either fix it or send me a replacement :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
90 days is new unless you purchased a better warranty. If not, 90 is great news!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Amazon has a best customer support in a whole world (especially for the Prime members. BTW, do you know, any of your friends with the Amazon Prime can add you (i.e. your Amazon account) to his Prime account without any trouble? Actually, no proof of the family membership required), telling you like a very long-long time Amazon customer (practically since launch in the year 1997 or 98?).

P.S. Last couple of years Amazon's customer support has become a little worse (because of the massive outsourcing) but IMHO still the best on the world.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:

5.4.0.1 downgrade

Recently bought Fire HD 8 (7th gen). It came with 5.4.0.1. Tried booting into stock recovery and side loading update-kindle-50.5.7.9_user_579225620.bin in order to downgrade back to 5.4.0.0.

It went though following steps:

Finding update package

Opening update package

Verifying update package

Installing update

Patching system image unconditionally

script succeeded: result was []

Install from ADB complete

I rebooted, and baam dead tablet. Nothing on screen at all. Even tried vol down plus power.

Lesson is.. if youre on 5.4.0.1 - dont try this at home kids!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
If you have an HD 8, regardless of the generation, you CANNOT downgrade back to 5.4.0.0. However, if you have a 7th generation Fire 7, you CAN downgrade. Weird eh?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrummerDanTX:
Totally weird. But this is the game we play with any hardware vendor to achieve freedom on our devices. It's fun

Here's some more info:

I still have no activity on the tablet screen, but when I connect USB cable to PC and hit power button, PC will ding the new hardware connected sound. About a second later the disconnected hardware ding sounds.

I was able to verify the new hardware found is labeled by Windows as "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android)" It disappears in sync with the disconnect sound.

I don't think it's completely bricked - I'll keep posting results of what I can get it to do from here.

Update: Couldn't get it to do anything else - Asking AMZ for a do over (replacement)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreewareLovers:
Fire HD 8 v5.4.0.1 is NOT DOWNGRADABLE - confirmed!

Hey there,

just tried to downgrade my Fire HD 8 (7th gen) v5.4.0.1 to the version 5.4.0.0 using the file "update-kindle-50.5.7.9_user_579225620.bin" and, as unfortunately expected, hard bricked the poor thing. Fire doesn't react on power button or any other buttons - just black screen. Using the same method I downgraded today my Fire 7 (7th gen) and everything went really good.

So guys, yet another (sad) confirmation here that the Fire HD 8 (7th gen) is not downgradable.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
So far as I know, none of the HD 8s can be downgraded, regardless of the generation.
[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joedeuce:
I inadvertently zeroed out my LAF and BOOT partitions at the same time, as some of you know, which left my G6 only able to boot to fastboot (crippled) and stock recovery (useless). I felt I had nothing to lose so I sent it in for warranty repair.

LG repaired the phone free of charge, and deemed the problem "software failure", which is pretty cool considering the warranty was technically void, as I had unlocked the bootloader.

I find it interesting that they simply performed a software download onto the device, as download mode (resides in LAF) was toasted.

It shipped back to me today; I should receive it Monday or Tuesday. I'm anxious to see if the bootloader still shows that it has been unlocked (pretty sure it will, as I assume some type of qfuse is used for the counter).

I have read many negative reviews of LG's warranty service... I'm happy with them, but it could be that I was lucky enough to get a good technician.

More to come...
[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hex-US:
Wow, pretty cool of them!
[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] brossovitch:
They did that same process to me a few times when i bricked my G4. They are definitely trying to provide great customer service and gain a better reputation.

Glad they didn't tell you your warranty was void.

Now all we need is the software and the process they used! Hahaha
[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] HKSpeed:
My friend got his G4 and V20 fixed under warranty without a problem. The G4 bootlooped. He told LG he bought the phone used from Swappa. They fixed it anyway. They also fixed his V20 after he dropped the phone and the volume down button stopped working. I hope to have a similarly positive experience if I ever need to make a warranty claim.
[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joedeuce:
I received the phone today. I'm pretty sure they had to disassemble it to repair it, but it may be standard for them to take a look inside of every phone they repair.
[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] treezy26:
So I take it you received the same phone you sent in?
[T-Mobile LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] brossovitch:
When my G4 was labeled as a software failure they replaced the board completely. Which I found odd.

But new ports! I was happy with it though. Still am.

I'm pretty sure it is standard. They probably check foe damage and heating issues. Maybe do some cleaning.

You'd know if your board was different of we had a working version of TWRP...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] desmondk:
Hi, there might be some problem with my note 8.

I activate the instant unlock without swiping the lock screen for the iris recognition unlock.

the problem is something the iris camera will not shows up on the screen after i swipe up to check on the position of my eyes. it said 'if this keeps happening, please restart your phone'.

I wondering anything cause the iris camera not to appear on the screen.

The iris scanner still works well on capture my irises to unlock the phone, it is just that the iris camera do not appears on the screen (the one with the two circle to position your eyes).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] onkarsingh_pardeshi:
Try factory resetting the device and check if the issue is still there. If yes, take the device to the samsung store for replacement. Mine works flawlessly. Much better than S8+ actually.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] desmondk:
Tried factory reset it... still the same.

The iris scanner have no problem unlocking my phone, it is just that the iris camera with the two circles does not appear on the screen when iris scanner activated.

Do both speakers have the same volume level or the buttom speaker is significantly louder than the speaker on the earpiece? i made a conversation with their chat support and she said, the volumes should be the same volume, but i read on gsmarena that the buttom speaker is really louder than the earpiece speaker, i just want a clear answer regarding this.. thanks!!

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] KÃ¡sHiF:
Same :(
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] viktorslama:
I think that has to do with Dolby Atmos - the bottom speaker makes better bass maybe and it's tuned louder so that the highs / treble (which gives more stereo separation) is almost equal in volume between the the unequal speakers when you hold the phone in landscape.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Smaug_the_Great:
I had noticed that too, but it doesn't really bother me.

Because new nokia 6 has ozo sound integration unfortunately not the Dolby Atmos and the latest stable version of android is 8.1.0 oreo till now
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] marcin.miodek:
Nokia 6 (2017) here. When I play any sound (be it video, mp3, ringtone, call using loudspeaker), then mostly the bottom speaker is audible. If I cover the top speaker with my finger, there is almost no difference in sound quality or intensity. If I cover the bottom one with my finger, almost nothing is audible - you can only hear the top speaker making quite noises as if it was supposed to be in "by ear" mode. Is this normal? Is this the Oreo bug? Should I contact the service?

btw, disabling Dolby does not change a thing.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] crystal_ball:
Don't worry, that's normal. On my phone, the top speaker is quieter than the bottom speaker, and that has been the case ever since I bought it.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] marcin.miodek:
Thanks, I hope everything is fine. But isn't this exactly what so many people are describing as the Oreo bug?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] pirrat25:
It's abnormal. If you close The lower speaker, the upper one is almost inaudible. And this on all phones
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] crystal_ball:
Which means it's normal and the manufacturer wanted it to be that way. In other words, HMD wanted stereo speakers but didn't want to increase manufacturing cost, so they just made audio play from both the speaker and the earpiece and called it a day.

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

I believe the Oreo sound bug is related to the Dolby Atmos feature. After the Oreo upgrade, turning on Dolby would make the sound too loud and hissy. Some also reported volume fluctuation. It went away on my phone but I don't know since when as I rarely use the feature.
