[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr Afro:
As some daid, I love Samsung and what they do with Android software. Unique and takes time. But is beauty. Not just the hardware as I noticed but the OS too. They develop much with Nougat and I believe they're not running to JUST update. They must improve. Look at other phones with Oreo their so simple and can be compared yet with Samsung OS and hardware.

Please be patience. Samsung may be slow but we as Samsung lover are here often and often. Dont be rush!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkyS1gn:
You think this horrible samsung bloatware is beautiful? At least we should have an option to use full STOCK on it... than it would be minimal and beatiful.

Samsung UI maybe looks good for kids, even if you theme it.

They could also implement all of their bull**** features with stock style... like OnePlus and others do it under a seperate menu for example.

Sadly i have to keep my S8+ because the Pixel 2 XL has so many issues eypecially with the screen... I love my S8+ but i miss Google, stock droid, fast updates, better camera... (Nexus 6P was better)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr Afro:
It's your opinion. But as I see you still has it. The horrible one!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxyYtester:
Majority rules and customers vote with their wallets, this has led all of the top 5 phone manufacturers in the world to avoid using pure stock android in their phones. It took almost a year for the Google Pixel and Pixel XL to sell a combined 1 million units worldwide, while the Galaxy S8 sold over a million units in its first week in South Korea alone.

Custom Android skins with added features (that often imitate iOS) sell like hotcakes, minimalist stock operating systems for the 0,01% of people that are Android tech enthusiasts are a dying breed.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fonix232:
Yes, I think Samsung's UI is good - and look, which way did Oreo go? Exactly the same way Samsung decided to go with 5.0. - a lot less huge fields of color and bold text, instead a lighter, more eye-friendly approach, lots of white with an overtone color added (which in Samsung's case, changes per-app, e.g. Samsung Health and Notes has orange, Settings, Samsung Pass is blue, Samsung Internet is purple, et cetera), and the whole UI is a lot more consistent than Google ever gotten.

The features, which you call bull**** (no feature is bull**** that is used by people, just sayin'), are all the additional stuff Samsung is selling. TouchWiz and a Samsung phone are a LOT more than a regular Android device, just made by Samsung. They add a lot of value through software, value that other devices miss out completely. And I'd rather have slightly slower updates than rushed ones (see 8.1 update fiasco, tons of Pixels are unable to update to it due to Google fraking up big time).

If you don't like Samsung's additions, well, that's your opinion man, but don't expect "me too" comments in a community where people choose a Samsung device knowing VERY well what they are getting into. If you don't want it, simple, do not buy it. Not that hard of a decision to make. I don't like iOS, yet I won't go and buy an iPhone and go yelling at Apple to provide an option to switch to Android...

Also, Nexus 6P was nowhere close the quality of the S8 or Note 8 camera.

Plz sign the petition if you guys want that the kernel sources must be released.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
If kernel sources aren't released yet, how is it possible that there are some custom ROMs already out there?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] raza_maestro:
Dude without kernel sources the devs cannot build or modify custom kernels. Else it has nothing to do with roms as the rom sources are ported from lineage or aosp sources and modified accordingly. without kernel sources there isn't much room for kernel optimisation and modification for better performance or battery as the devs have to use the stock kernel of the device.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
So those custom ROMs are using the stock kernel, copied from the original MIUI ROMs?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] raza_maestro:
Yeah with few optimizations and changes.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] SeviStein:
Xiaomi / every android manufacturer has to release the kernel sources anyway, right? Is there an ETA, or how long does it usually take for a xiaomi device for the sources being released? I am considering buying this phone.

2nd question: rooting or unlocking bootloader goes with the manufacturer's page right? I checked it out and it was in chinese, me as an english user, will i manage to get the phone unlocked?

Petition is signed anyway. I also contacted the global service through mail asking about the REDMI4X32_GLB_BLK kernel source release. Will keep you updated if I get a response

Edit: I just ordered a moto g5 but will keep u updated if I should get any info from xiaomi support.

I usually use HTC Sync Manager / Verizon Repair, but for this one it tells me there is no 2.41.605.23 to repair to.

I don't the OTA zip is found now, it does not seem to be in /cache anymore, so I'd hoped flashfire knew where

to look for it, for HTC/VZW?
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
When one of the xda developers posts it, you will be able to flash. Until then, to get 2.41.605.23 it will be necessary to RUU it to an earlier version,

put VZN sim in it and update thru Verizon OTA. If you put in an old RUU, it will do it in steps.

edit: Nevermind, santod040 has posted a boatload of 2.41.605.23 goodies with more to come. THANKS

I bought Galaxy Note 8 64GB model yesterday from Samsung India online shop, inserted Jio SIM but VoLTE doesn't work, mobile data connected only with LTE, In order to make calls I had to install Jio4gvoice app. Note 8 doesn't have option to enable VoLTE.

When I contacted customer service they said bar code mismatch issue between the jio sim and mobile phone, new software update will be issued to resolve this problem.

Has anyone facing JioSIM VoLTE issue with Samsung Galaxy Note 8?

Download Indian firmware

extract a file that start with name HOME_CSC_OXM***

flash that with Odin CSC tab.

Before this make backup of data including Int storage as it may wipe everything.

OR

Simply use a custom ROM that support Jio VolTE

Hello Guys,

As the vodafone VoLTE is launched in Delhi NCR circle i was casually trying to activate the same in my connection! I wasnt able to find the right setting, but then on the vodafone website they said to send a msg "4G Check" to 199 for checking compatibility of VoLTE on my handset (That is Note 8), to my horror the message i received was,

"Your Mobile Handset supports 4G, but will not support VoLTE. Kindly upgrade your handset to experience Vodafone VoLTE.

Are you kidding me, Note 8 doesnt support VoLTE?? Any inputs?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dr.ketan:
Note 8 supports VoLte but firmware needs required changes. Samsung have applied changes to to only three devices S9 pro, J7 next and J7 Pro to support Vodafone VoLte. Jio users already using VoLte on N8 so sooner or later it will be available for Vodafone too

Hello, I have been wanting to enable VoLTE functionality on my Galaxy Note 8 N9500 bought from UAE. Though its from UAE I was given a N9500 Version which is a Honkong / Chinese version of the phone. I am in India and want to use Samsung pay and also VoLTE.

Samsung pay would only take me to Install Honkong version of samsung pay.

Is it possible to flash a INS (Indian) firmware on this phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BluePhnx:
No!

N9500 is Snapdragon soc.

Indian market gets the ones with Exynos soc.

So not compatible!

Only way is to root your phone and flash the modded csc zip file. BUT you Will LOSE Samsung pay! (For good)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] noob_power:
Thanks for the quick reply Buddy. If not Indian firmware can we flash firmware of a country supporting VoLte . Coz Currently when I want to toggle greyed out VoLte button it says "Volte is not supported by your current software version. Contact customer service for more details" . I can live without samsung pay.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DummyPLUG:
To make VoLTE work you need the IMS APN, basically when using VoLTE all the voice is send as "data" instead of "voice" when compare to 3G but these "data" are send to the IMS APN. Some phone allow you to manually add the IMS APN and turn on VoLTE, I don't know if note8 can do this or not as I never try to do it manually.

You can copy the IMS APN setting from other phone or ask your operator for it.

As I know Samsung will only include the IMS APN of the firmware's region in the firmware only.

Hi,

i am able to enable VOLTE. but calls not working, in IMS settings i enabled all but in IMS information VOLTE is false. i asked one guy he told that he dont know indian JIO CSC codes, so you have to contact someone who can do indian JIO CSC code for SM N 9500. pls help to get VOLTE

That update is for the BC636 not the C636.

As displeased as I am with Huawei's slow progress addressing Blueborne, I would not trade my Mate 9 for anything else currently in the market. My next smartphone will surely be a next gen Mate series.

Update - B189 now appears in FF but it is not authorised for me.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
I about to redo my phone completely and I still own Titanium Backup Pro, is that still the best way to backup everything or can I simply backups my files (photos, videos, PDF's etc...) and use Google's basic restore apps when I reboot my phone from stock?

I know TB is great but last time I used it, I felt there were some bugs and it couldnt restore some apps which was disturbing. Then in the end, I have no idea what is actually did and did not restore, a real PITA.

It also took forever and felt like it got stuck in some parts.

Are there any downsides to using Google apps restore feature? Not sure if that will also maintain all my game/app data.

I also read some good things about TunesGo Android Backup.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
The Google apps restore has improved significantly since MM. I do keep TWRP Nandroid backups offline, but have not used them in ages. I use Google apps restore for all of my Play Store and System apps, and TiBu for the "non market" stuff... maybe ~30 apps? I zip the TiBu folder into a single file (Solid Explorer) and move it offline. When upgrading from 6-7 or 7-8, I just completely wipe the phone, flash a full image, let Google Play restore from the cloud. Then extract and use TiBu zip to restore the remaining apps. Icing is a Nova launcher backup to restore all the shortcuts and widgets, and my setup is 99% there in under one hour from a complete blank slate. I've also been experimenting with FlashFire to make ADB backups offline. Very slick backup tool, in addition to it's primary use of flashing monthly security updates. I have not yet restored a FF backup via ADB yet... I just keep one recent backup as a precaution. As for your other thread on rooting- I only see the upside. I don't see any downside. Android Pay not working irritates many, but I will never use that so not a concern. Why buy a Nexus if you're not going to unlock and root?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dathaeus:
Awesome reply, exactly what I was looking for thanks!

So u gave a lot of info and I just want to summarize what I should do to redo my phone as cleanly and quickly as possible, but first can you tell me how you personally differentiate the non-market stuff for TiB? Meaning I have like 200 total apps, so just trying to plan a process here.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Lots of tutorials out there on how to properly wipe and install a fresh stock image onto a blank phone. Probably the best example can be found on the Google webpage where you download the full image. I use Google restore for all system apps plus the apps I have paid for at the Google Play Store. I use TiBu only for those apps from elsewhere that are not backed up or restored by Google restore. It's made easy by TiBu because after Google restore is 100% complete restoring everything it possibly can, I fire up TiBu and use the "Restore Missing Apps" option.
