[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] amgfff84:
Hello all, I have been rocking the stock S8 ON AT&T for a few months, and I love it. The contours remind me of the old S3 and Note2, which I still own and hid them away. The one thing I hate about this phone is that I can not disable the audio EQ, so my bluetooth connection to my car has "dual eq's" because of this. I can't make it sound good to save my life. I tried other phones, like my old Moto g4 and it sounds great, even other phones. Is there a way to disable this? I am not sure if I want to root this device just yet, and I may just switch phones with my daughter and get my rooted Moto G4 back. Yes, it drives me soooo insane that I'm willing to trade my $800 dollar device for a less than $200 dollar device. Any help, or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

Hello,

Unfortunatel my device seems to have some kind of malfunction.

The Issue is that the devices suddenly locks andd just shows the clock.

I can`t unlock it. After a while it might show the normal screen and I can unlock it.

Then the clock comes back and I can`t do anything.

I reinstalled with wipe all everthing however after a while it will come back.

Check for smart cover option in smart assistance

Turn it off. The pic you posted comes when you use flip cover (when closed )

Have u applied any sceen protector covering upper right (nr front cam) side of screen it may cause this

There a proximity sensor and one other idnt know name but it should be uncovered when using phone.

Or the sensor is misbehaving.

My phone is ZX551ml with twrp and rooted.

When I try to sideload the ROM I am getting:

This packege supports Ifwi Versions:%s; 0094.0183;

This device has Ifwi version 0096.0117.

Updater progress ended with ERROR: 7

The same message comes up when I try to install the ROM from TWRP.

Is there a way to downgrade my Ifwi?

I am not happy about the noise level coming out of the main camera sensor on the note 8.

Comparing it to the telephoto sensor on the note 8, which gives crisp and low noise images, the main sensor have lots of visible noise even in good sunny light conditions.

Comparing it to my old s7 edge the raw images output from the note 8 is a noisy mess. This is especially prominent in low light conditions where my old s7 took much better pictures.

Could my sensor be faulty? Is anyone experiencing something similar?

(All images are in focus, the noise I am talking about is from the sensor itself)

I feel the same way about the noise issue and with the raw images I feel are very light and washed out looking.

[About XDA developers] ryaske:
i sent this to the feedback form on the site many moons ago, but apparently nobody has taken notice.

Has anyone else noticed this?? :confused:

If you are not logged in,

The quick search (click search so the box comes up with "show threads", "show posts", and advanced search options) is pointless.

If you try top search with it, you will alwasy receive an error. Because you have to answer the no spam question via the advanced search page. Whats the point of having the quick search in this case?

I propose the admin either gets rid of quick search (have it go right to advanced search), OR add a box in the quick search for the spam question .. for guests that aren't logged in.

I know it has frustrated me more than once!!

thanks for listening

Hi Guys,

We switched the search function on 12-02 as posted in news.

Could you give me some feedback on if this improved the search or not?

Concerning the nospam issue it should only be an issue for unregistered or not logged in users, if you have problems as a logged in user please let me know asap.

[About XDA developers] JwY:
Thanks for switching it back. It's much easier to find things again.
[About XDA developers] ryaske:
Ditto to the two opinions above me.

My opinion on other search options:

I frequently also use google site search to find posts on XDA.... I find it works very well for me (so well I have set up a keyword shortcut in firefox. All I hvae to do is type "xda " and the terms i am looking for in the address bar, and hit enter.)

this is what i used to type into the google box when I did it manually:

site:xdaforums.com the keywords your looking for

This is especially true when I am looking for terms less than 3 characters, the normal search won't work.

Maybe you guys should consider offering direct access to a google site search in addition to the boolean?

(( An example is how Webmasterworld does it. They go two steps further with a yahoo and MSN. In fact, 3rd party is their only search system:

http://www.webmasterworld.com/searchform.cgi

))
[About XDA developers] chulo_allen:

[About XDA developers] ryaske:
ha! I thought they would use my suggestion in addition to, and not in place of, the normal search.

But just to confirm w/ the poster above me .. yes it seems that is the only search option now, your not doing anything wrong.
[About XDA developers] Goanna:
I dont mind using google search, in general it can find topics on here pretty good, but it has limitations.

For example, if the site search is turned off, you cant search individual threads. Some threads on here get VERY big, and without the "search this thread" function there are going to be plenty of questions asked and answered multiple times in each thread, which leads to annoyed people saying the question has already been answered, etc.

With that said, I really do hope the site search does come back for this reason.
[About XDA developers] ryaske:
i concur for the same reasons. +1 vote for that
[About XDA developers] indagroove:

[About XDA developers] Liquidfire:
+4 on the need "search this thread"

Duttys threads get to well over 125 pages....usually in a few days. People start to yell very quick about using search, and if theres no way to search a thread like that a search that points just points you to it will do very little good.

Reading through it's privacy policy, it states that it sends images to a server or whatnot so it can scan and decipher what the image is to deliver us search results, etc.

Does it do this with every photo you take and every photo on your device?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] icugotit2:
Having my two phones on pre-order and back ordered has given me time to reflect on dropping 2k on two phones.

But the more I thought about the more it makes sense. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

Still rocking my s7 edge on u firmware. Tbh my phone is still plenty fast with 0 bloat. Even with u firmware battery has taken a hit. Below are my reason for skipping:

1. Battery life - I understand trying to rebrand image not having a flaming brick. But to have $1000 flagship phone have less capacity than the s8+(3500) and s7 edge (3600) is inexcusable. Although they say battery is more efficient, I am sure a year from now or sooner, people will start complaining once the device has been burned in.

2.. Finger print reader location. If not in display, then I rather theyimplement into screen or power button in side.

3. Audio. For a 1k music should pristine with a quality dac and dual speakers.

4. Not compatible with 600mhz spectrum. Again for this price it should be future proof with new spectrum. Big miss imo.

5. Price.1k for a phone? Really ? I can buy a one plus or v30 with a decent tablet for that price

These are my gripes what about everyone else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Slicktune22:
Lol what do you want a rocketship? Jesus! Future proof? Do you want the economy to drop?? Its because of ppl that hold on to old things that make economy go down... imagine if this was future proof, ppl don't upgrade already with crappy phones (looking at the note 3 and note 4 users that held on for that long)...JUST IMAGINE IF IT WAS FUTURE PROOF! Holy ishhhhh!! Samsung sales would go down... that's why i don't blame when companies makes phones go bad when new ones come out because ppl wanna hold on and stall sales.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] icugotit2:
What I said was very conservative and resonable.

I did not mention sketchy irsis scanning,non removable battery, no IR.

Asking for bigger batteries when phones from a year ago had them is not a rocketship demands . It's the equivalent to Tropicana changing from 64oz to 59oz serving while charging the same or higher price.

Not rocketship when s7edge was one of first phones that supported 700mhz radio which prolongs the life of device.

I guess I like a good value and have received that in times past from samsung devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Bern612:
Same.. I didn't order yet but was thinking do I really need it right now... Yes a miss having a note. But this phone really is close to what I paid for my laptop. I really hate this s7 but still paying it off.. Maybe I'll wait also for the note 9 to come out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] RaymondPJR:
I wouldn't have bought this device if the reports on battery life had not been so good. A bigger battery would have been nice, but as it is it keeps up with the S8. I don't think TMO will have that 600 mhz deployed in Portland (boy we could use it), so I'm not worried about that. I kept my Note 7 so I was just going to get a full refund then pay the hundred dollars extra to get this. Then the offer came along and I'm making out like a bandit! Half price, hell yeah!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] squiglybob13:
Well to each their own! I'm absolutely loving the phone so far but I can see how these reasons can deter people from purchasing. Also I'm coming from a note 4 so this is a pretty major upgrade for me!

Battery is a huge improvement. Even though only about 200mah bigger, it last almost twice the amount of time. The 600mhz also isn't a big deal for me since I get great service and it's not estimated to roll out withinthe next 1-2 years anyways. I don't really understand people's issue with the fingerprint scanner. I don't see how you could smudge the camera unless you're dragging your finger across the back since it's not even directly next to the lens.

Also for 30 bucks a month it made it much more attainable for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] JaguarXT:
If I didn't get the help with T-Mobile while in between Note 7 and Note 8 then I would of purchased the LG V30 this year. This year is a good year for good high end devices. You don't need to go for Samsung devices or $900 + devices.

I am happy with the Note 8. Though next year I will be looking at what all Android device manufactures are making before making the next purchase.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] majmuni:
Good for you man I was considering it but are we for real its a a fricking phone and its $1000 ? Can it fly or make you teleport in the end its a phone and I dont like that phones ate getting so expensive . Thank you for opening my eyes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Notasaurus:
All understandable concerns. But in practice I haven't found any of them to be that bad.

The battery is considerably better than any phone I've had previously. And I've had quite a few. iPhones , notes, nexi, the pixel, and both the V10 and v20. The lgs had by far the worst battery life, the iPhones, would get me through most of a day even the 6s plus would be under 10% if not dead when I would plug in at the end of the day. My Pixel and S7 don't make it. They all have to be plugged in as I wind down the day. The note 8 is incredible. I brought it down below 10% once on the first charge just to let it do one full cycle. But even with 6-7hrs SOT I'm still in the 20 or 30% range at the end of my day.

I bought a 5500mah battery case just for shiggles, I won't have to charge my phone for 3 days with the case on. But really I wouldn't let the battery hold you back.

I do agree with the fingerprint reader, both the LGs and the Pixel had the finger print reader in the middle of the back, which is a lot more convenient for the way I hold my phone but I've adjusted to the off center higher up placement. But it's still awkward.

The dual speaker miss is I guess a personal concern. I almost never use the speakers on my phone, I'm either connected to a Bluetooth headset or Bluetooth speaker and those have their own DAC. Which is also I guess why the phone DAC doesn't bother me either. If you listen a lot to headphones and want premium sound you'd probably use an amp anyway.

Also this phone isn't really all that much more expensive than previous notes. The note 4 and 7 were about $850. The note 8 is not cheap but I feel it is in line with current pricing. There are definitely nice phones for less, but they all lack the Wacom digitizer and stylus. Which definitely adds to the cost of development and materials and more importantly takes up space, leaving less room inside the phone, hence the smaller battery. And let's not forget, a very very large majority of people who had the note 7, are getting their phone for 525ish. So it's not really even a $600 phone. T-Mobile did BOGO so for about 1200 after all is said and done you end up with 2 phones. That's after taxes and adding a line. So again about $600.

600mhz would have been nice, but around me, it won't be available till late 2019. I'll have a different phone by then and band 12 is still being rolled out, which is supported. So while it's a nice to have, it's not a killer for me.

I was in a similar boat, my unlocked was backordered out into October and during that time I started convincing myself I didn't need the phone, but on release day I walked into tmobile and walked out with 2 note 8s and boy am I glad I did. I'll sell the second and I've already sold the S7 I was going to trade in. I still have the pixel and an iPhone 6s to play around with for when I want to run Oreo or whatever comes next since my one gripe with Samsung is how long it takes to get updates. But this easily became my daily driver. And I haven't looked back yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] icugotit2:
Thanks!

Thanks man needed to hear that. Very similar experiences. Audio was trash with the s7 and purchased a dragon fly black DAC a while back. I just went ahead with BOGO and am getting an additional 100GF.

(https://slickdeals.net/f/10560148-t...note-8-bogo?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1)

Curious as to how much you got for your s7 ? Putting mine up for sale and will sell the 2nd note 8. Thinking outof pocket cost should be around $200.

Thanks everyone .. made me a believer :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Notasaurus:
I sold it for 250. I still had the box, charger and headphones in original wrapping though. Not sure if that made a difference or was just a nice to have for the buyer. I have chargers coming out my ears and never use the in box headphones, so they just sit there. My S7 as also mint because it didn't get much use with all the other phones I was swapping between and always kept it in a case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] harveydent:
Having used the Note 8 for about a week now, here are my experiences:

1. According to reports, the Note 8's battery life is as good as or even better that the s8+. And compared to my Note 7 (3500 mAh), the Note 8 (3300 mAh) lasts WAY longer and has a longer Screen on Time. I usually had to charge the Note 7 at around 7-8 pm (20% battery), but with the Note 8 I hit 20% at around 11 pm. And compared to my last daily driver, the Note 3, the Note 8 is 10000000x better. I lose 20% every 30 minutes on the Note 3 while in use, on the Note 8 it's more like 3-4% every 30 mins.

2. I actually prefer the rear placement for some reason. This was one of my biggest worries when the phone was announced, but I'm having no problems with it so far. Ironically, I used the iris scanner as my main unlocking method for the Note 7, but I seem to be using the fingerprint scanner more on the Note 8. Maybe it's because the 8's scanner is vertical while the 7 was horizontal and you get more finger real estate with the 8. I remember having to tap the Note 7's scanner 2 or 3 times before it would register, while on the Note 8 it's been once (very rarely twice) to unlock.

3. Yeah, Samsung speakers suck. It's been that way for all the Notes and all the Galaxy S phones. Even my Nexus S had crappy speakers. So yes, I agree that the Note 8 has crappy speakers as usual.

4. Not really a concern for me. According to the T-Mobile rollout map, my area won't have the 600 spectrum until 2020, so I'll probably have the Note 10 or 11 by then. Plus, what a lot of people who complain about the 600 mHz miss is that TMo also has the 700 mHz spectrum and the Note 8 has the antenna for it. Both share the same advantages of lower-frequency radio waves. Compared to my Note 3, which barely gets 2 bars, the Note 8 is constantly 4-5 bars.

5. Yeah, agree with you on this one as well, $1K is a bit much. The only reason I got the Note 8 is because Samsung only wanted $580 for it. ($425 discount and $70 iphone 5s trade in) That's cheaper than any flagship phone coming in the next year even with Black Friday discounts.
