[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Torquemada288:
Nope. Scrolling in Gallery and Photos is silky smooth for me.

Try giving your screen a clean. I know that sounds stupidly simple but I've found that has worked on my Note 3 in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Huey85:
I'm wondering whether it's my screen protector causing the issue. I don't think it is though because it's only happening in Gallery.

Some others are facing the same issue and some others aren't. Weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Torquemada288:
Yeah, it's weird that it's only happening in the Gallery app. Maybe clear the cache for Gallery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Huey85:
thanks mate, i already tried that. I've narrowed it down further too. When scrolling through PICTURES tab, it works fine, but if I try scrolling through ALBUMS that's where it starts to have issues with scrolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] djlee0314:
I answered this in another thread. If you have Bixby Remapper installed that's your culprit. Hope that's the case as it's an easy fix
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Huey85:
LEGEND! that was it! Thanks for that. Back to working smooth as butter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] djlee0314:
No problem! Glad I could help
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Reekon:
Helped me too! It was driving me insane. Removing Bixby remapper fixed my gallery stutter issues. Thank you!! I registered just to post this. You fixed a major annoyance for me.

Samsung- Stop forcing crap down our throats. I don't want bixby, hell, I don't even need the physical key for it. You're pushing me into a pixel.

Now you can detect any fake SMS on any mobile device.

HOW IT WORKS

Lets suppose your friend or anonymous person showing you a SMS under your name or number in his / her device which you never sent, to prove that it is not yours, what is all you need to do is just install Fake SMS Detector Application on his / her device and rest of the thing Fake SMS Detector app will do. This app promptly shows you all the fake SMS lists in the device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] msteendahl:
Got my Verizon note 8 direct from Samsung. Immediately after setup, I told it to not do automatic updates. Next day it wanted to update. Now every time I pick up my phone I have to tell it I don't want to update.

Is there more than a 10% chance that this phone will get an unlocked? (Playing with roms would be awesome)

Or should I just take the Updates?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] FuriousFuFu:
The update if I remember correctly added some camera stability improvements and the ability to disable Bixby. I took the update and haven't looked back.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] datawrhsdoc:
I just got of the the phone with T-Mobile support a few minutes ago, and they informed me that they will be pushing the September security patch, including Blueborne fix, on or before Oct 7.

Until the patch is installed, they are recommending that you keep your Bluetooth disabled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] datawrhsdoc:
It appears that they lied.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tech15:
Sounds about right coming from t-mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tech15:
Are they serious?! Samsung phones aren't vulnerable?? Wow...

I like Samsung phones and their hardware but not their lack of seriousness when it comes to vulnerabilities. You were right to call out the rep for his textbook responses. For him to lie to you straight up like that makes me also not want to buy a Samsung phone either like you said--sad thing is they don't care. I'm still on the July patch by the way so I didn't even get August. I continually check for software updates and even just a few minutes ago it said I'm up to date.

If Samsung wants to keep competing with Apple they need to wisen up and support phones that people like us paid good money for. The phone is just two years old and its already getting neglected not just on Oreo but on serious security patches. I use Bluetooth a lot for my car and for now it makes me nervous. Samsung needs to fix this and continue to support the Note 5 with further patches. Ridiculous.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tech15:
Still no update. I say we keep calling T-mobile and Samsung to get them to push the update out faster
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] asislife20:
If you use the Final version of KHONGLOI-NOUGAT ROM, when you run the app to check to see if your vulnerable, it comes back as being safe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tech15:
I'm not rooted though. Sad part is that rooting your device and voiding your warranty actually keeps you safe as far as security patches go whereas "playing by the rules" and waiting on updates puts you at risk. Go figure.

I don't want to root and risk messing up my phone. I really shouldn't have to. Samsung and T-mobile should get their **** together and put out timely updates. They need to cut down on the amount of phones they make and focus on UPDATES instead.

I want to edit this to include something. I said above rooting actually keeps you safe and I know rooting your phone opens you up to vulnerabilities but I'm talking in the sense of flashing ROMs with the latest security patches. Just wanted to clarify
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tech15:
still no update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tech15:
I called T-mobile and now they said between this Friday and next Tuesday we should have a security update. So we'll find out soon if that's true
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tech15:
I will be checking for an update today. Today is supposed to be the last day within the time frame I was promised for an update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tech15:
No update from T-mobile for any security issues on the Note 5. Good thing I can still use my Dell laptop from 2010 that has the latest patches...

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IonuZ:
It will not update at all , far as i know , what's even weirder I'm on Sept update of Android O and it's updating my OS to Android O , WTF ???
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
If you are running a custom ROM and want to update or apply a security update, you have to wait for the dev to update his ROM. You can't just apply an OTA to a custom ROM. It won't work. You have to decide whether you want the custom ROM or monthly security updates. If you want to return to stock, taking an OTA is not the way to do it either.

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

Many threads on this. There are two versions of the September update. .017 and .019. You are (or were) on .017 so it is trying to update to the latest.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Professor Woland:
Ok so I've built twrp recovery for my device it all went fine. Now when I try to boot to it from fastboot it says ok at first and then phone when it should go to recovery just go back to the fastboot mode and states "waiting for RAM Dump" and just sits there also there is written something like xV4 and an arrow pointing down and up (I can't give you the picture because of ****ty cameras on my other phones) Phone is LG k350nds (k8 dual) running stock marshmallow. Does anyone know why that happens?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcbxda:
Maybe i am being too paranoid, but just now my phone (blackberry priv) on stock 6.0.1, build AAO484, crashed when i opened Google maps.

so far, normal :rolleyes:

it showed the boot animation. The regular square,circle,triangle morphing into one another. And then... my launcher!

it never asked for the pattern/pin unlock mid reboot to unlock the encrypted storage like it does on any boot.

Is there "optimizations" to reboot faster in case of a crash?! Is android so bad that now they waste time on this kind of "features"? or am is the phone compromised in some way?

It's a beautiful device. I have NO regrets whatsoever! :) I'm rooted and loving it!
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] vibraniumdroid:
Picked mine up a few days ago. The screen scratches very easily:crying: Does anyone know of a good screen protector on Amazon? Other then that it is an excellent phone:) The performance is great as well as the battery life especially considering the small battery.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Amd4life:
I picked up a few of these, for the family and I am working my way through the device. Battery life is great, BUT I think some CPU throttling is going, by Lenovo design--- as my device renders websites, forum threads (xda labs/Tapatalk) VERY slow. Tidal streaming take 20-30 seconds to buffer the first song in HiFi mode. This is very different than any of my other Samsung, LG,Sony phones on the same network, same plan, same city etc. The CPU and 4GB ram should not be this slow, especially when the phone transitions from app to app quickly and scrolling is very fast.

Screen is great at the $500 price, the DPI should be 480 out the box though. 640 is far to big. Also with the huge bezels, they should have made the navbar smaller, directly above the huge lower bezel. Or just capacitive buttons in the huge bottom bezel, like old Samsung devices. It should not be big ole navbar, mated to a big ole bezel [emoji38]

The music/podcast speaker output is awesome for such a thin device and only one speaker. The phone call speaker output is subpar, though.

The button placement is great, but I keep wanting to use the Motorola circle on the back as the finger print sensor [emoji38]. Its in the PERFECT rear position where my fingers sits when holding the phone rt handed.

The audio out dongle is ok, but the noise floor is pretty bad ( for those music based). It works, but this is NOT a multimedia device if that is your focus. Some background hissing, and electronic background noise, almost like a ground issue in the port. I am using some pretty sensitive iems though. If you are using $20 dollar headphones, doubt you would mind.

Bluetooth strength is good, but this output also suffers from the slight interruptions, here and there. Just small minute sound buckling, not full on stopping the songs. It's as if the phone falls out of range for a millisecond. Again I think this is a software background ram/cpu management design.

Also the notifications (silent or sound on mode), interrupt music pretty hard. That's another reason I think the software is throttling the cpu's pretty hard.

Great job TMobile for the unlocked bootloader with a US snapdragon. This may be the only option for rooting a USA 835 CPU based device.

Rooting Kills the warranty though, So I may not root my other devices. As I found out last night, even if you RELOCK the bootloader, the first screen still notifies you of a different OS. Basically no way to return to TMobile for a warranty fix, if something does fail. Early adopters might want to wait a bit to see if a Dev can mask the unlock/relock black screen back to full stock.

Signal strength is great, in my area. The size (slimness) and weight (super light) feel of the phone is amazing for all that's in this phone.

Camera loads fast, images are just OK, but the auto focus speed it good. Not great, just good.

This is basically a OnePlus 5, without the bubble scrolling issue [emoji38].

Back to enjoying a great, low priced, high spec option. Couple this with the projector mod/free offer, this is an AWESOME deal.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] DsturbD:
any screen protector is better than none. i was gonna get a glass one but saw this 8 pack so grab it, im pretty careful will my phones (knocks on wood)

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LQHCM5/

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

tl;dr

most of the things you are complaining or pointing out can and just might be updated or fixed in a custom rom (cpu, speaker output, audio, bluetooth, camera)

my dpi was set at 360 out of the box and can be changed in Developer options/Smallest width

when you get an unlock code from Motorola it states that by just getting the code you void the warranty so yeah, we know that going in

people put too much in the bezel thing, sure an edge to edge screen is cool, but not a game changer (for me anyways). i was gonna get an LG G6 or V30 simply for the fact that both phones are almost the exact same size as my G4 but with a bigger screen. it was basically the price drop and the free projector that pulled me over to the Z2 Force, plus when i tried the camera and saw how fast it was, that helped too :)

That protector has very bad ratings do you know of any other one?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] DsturbD:
really? it has 3 reviews, 2 of them are 5 stars and 1 is 1 star cause the guy didnt like the fact that it did not cover the entire screen. i wouldnt call that "very bad ratings"

search Amazon or google, im sure you can find one that suits you
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] CadillacMike:
The Verizon Flexible Glass Display Protector is the best.

I had last years version on my Moto Z Force Droid on Verizon and it never had an issue.

I have this year's version on my T-Mobile Moto Z2 Force and it works great.

I actually am on my 3rd Z2. First one was pre-ordered and would not connect to voice mail so Tmo replaced it.

2nd one was fine other than the texting issue on Tmo, but I fell for the hype and Jumped to the Note 8.

A week and a half later I jumped back to the Z2 Force and got it for $500
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] pgg285:
I could kick myself for not waiting to get this until T-Mobile dropped the price. :/

The one thing that's really impressed me with this phone is the battery life, given the smaller (compared with the last Z2) nonremovable battery.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] DsturbD:
how long ago did you get yours? 2 years ago when i got an LG G4, they dropped the price like this 2 months after i bought it, went back to the store and while they did not give me the full discount, they did give me $80 bucks off, reduced my number of payments by 4 months
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] pgg285:
I bought it back at the beginning of August online—should I go to my local store or contact someone in customer care?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] DsturbD:

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] LGtMgG2t:
Just ordered mine about an hour ago and paid for overnight shipping so I get it tomorrow. I've been looking for something to replace my Nexus 6 and so far the LG G5 and V20 were totally not up to par. So now I'm using my little G5 Plus on Verizon. Funny thing is, UPS just dropped off my Verizon Z2 Force and now I'm going to have to ship it back (locked bootloader made me switch to TMO).

I dont see any free mods offered on this deal now but I got the phone for $500 which seems like a good deal for now. Anxious to unlock it and get it rooted then see how the camera performs!
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] DsturbD:

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] 3's&7's:

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] sabrdawg:
Perhaps I should try that! Even at regular price, though, I can't complain. This phone is like the best thing that's ever happened to me :) The same thing just happened to me with the Samsung Icon X 2018 headphones...I JUST paid $200 for them, and days later they were $150. The consolation is that I was able to buy the only black pair available in-store in my area, so I can't complain there, either!
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Venter:
What a great price.

At this price people should not even consider anything else. I paid $500 and even though I am disappointed not getting it at this price I still feel satisfied with my purchase. Knowing what I do today, I think I would not have minded paying full price if I could afford it.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] StonedYoda:
I got the free projector mod promo and the phone was $500 with T-Mobile. Last week Verizon had moto mods 50% off so I snagged a few of those then AT&T had the Incipio offgrid battery/wireless charging mod for $10 (normally $80) so I'm more than happy I ended up getting this rather than a Note 8.
