[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kanzar:
What is the source of this? I have seen this posted elsewhere (in Russian), but I can't find any other references.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ce_Ann:
So can you tell where your recordings are listed after you enabled this function? It would be great if so... where does it list the calls for you? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sergyu91ma:
I'm in Romania. I have ROM and no native call recording or Samsung pay.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vinokirk:
Yeah, in on BTU, how do I activate native call recording?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Acrivec:
My CSC is on this list and I have no automatic recording listed in settings.

I've been able to access it in with the shortcut app, it's even properly translated, but still not oficially there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kanzar:
On that list, you will see notes beside some countries with SPay and Call - it's countries with Call that have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] hugoleosp:
One question. I do want the Call Recording, I'm from Brazil and ZTO is not in the list.

Our legal system allows us to record our own communication, it's our right to use it for legal causes or not.

But my question is about Samsung Rewards, I remember my last phone I bought in Singapore, the SPay was from there, I could register my brazilian cards just fine and use them. But I could not get the points from the Rewards, and that`s matter because today I have a Galaxy Smartwatch, Bluetooth ear buds, cases, screen protectors and some discounts in air tickets, stores, restaurants... so, it's pretty useful.

But I also won two law suits last year because I called a toll free number that by law are required to record and make it available to me at my request within 90 days. But they lied telling they had a system malfunctioning and they couldn't provide me with the call recording. So I used mine, and by our law because I'm the weak side of the relation, the company is the one to prove I'm not wrong on my demands.

So I got enough money that paid a one month trip to Asia on my vacations because of the law suit.

So I need both, SPay for Brazil and the Call Recording, but I did the stupid thing to upgrade to Pie and I can't find the "native call recording" option =/

So my question, if I change my CSC to one in the list that works, is there a way I can keep the SPay with the Brazilian version? From my understanding, I think it'll use the CSC to install the country related options.

Another question, my Galaxy Store is in PT even my entire phone is in EN, if I change the CSC, I think it'll go to the country of the CSC too, right?

Can anyone confirm these for me please?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ce_Ann:
Where did you find the calls after recording?

I did this, turned it on, and can't see the recordings log or files; have scoured the system files.

Where are your record files located?

Since we have the same model is there another setting to turn on?

Thanks for any assistance! Peace
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Bcl2:
I use an app that blocks the touchscreen when the screen is on. When this app is launched, I would like to automatically block the fingerprint sensor too. I would do it with Tasker, but I need a shell command (or any other working way) to disable the fingerprint sensor or the ''one button nav'' in moto actions.

Elephone S8 [2K 6" screen Budget Phone] Review, Benchmarks & Development Information

I was hoping to find Elephone S8 forum or some threads on this site, but apparently, there is none yet. So, I will give a mini-review from my few days of usage to perhaps start some development discussion on the site. Oh and, I'm not with Elephone or any other marketing firm. :)

First of all, why I bought it.

2017 is full of big screen and bezel-less smartphones, most of which have a fingerprint scanner on the back. I don't really like the design of this year smartphones, not even Samsung Note 8 or iPhone X, not to mention their steep prices. :) Looking for my Oneplus 1 replacement, I wanted a mid-range phone with a big rectangular screen, with no notch or curved sides, and a fingerprint scanner on the front. Elephone S8 seems to have decent specs and budget-friendly. To me, it is not a clone of Samsung Galaxy S8 at all.

Official specs -> https://www.elephone.hk/elephone-s8#/parameters

What is included in the box

​

It looks quite good.

​

It comes with Noagat 7.1.1 out of the box.

​

After I turned it on, there was already a firmware update.

​

After updating, the latest ROM build number is Elephone_S8_20170927.

​

The ROM is almost AOSP, with additional settings and apps. Here are interesting settings.

​

A few extra apps come pre-installed. To my surprise, Elephone S8 has an FM radio receiver which is not even listed on their official specs page.

​

Malware-Bytes Anti-Malware 3.0.0.26 doesn't find any malware.

​

Here are hardware details from CPU-Z 1.23.

​

GPS is quite OK, testing outside on a cloudy day.

​

Benchmarks are good for a mid-range phone.

Antutu 6.3.5

​

Geekbench 4.1.3

​

PCMark 2.0.3716

​

The fingerprint scanner is quite accurate and fast enough for me. As I miss my Oneplus' Double Tap to Wake function, I use the fingerprints scan just to wake up the phone. :)

On camera, I'm not really into mobile photography. I took a few photos. They look OK, but the focusing is slow. I may upload a few photo samples later.

Battery life is so-so for me. I have around 14 hours with 4 hours of screen-on time per charge, but that is my usage.

Elephone S8 Development Stuff

Some development stuff - Unlock bootloader, Root and other things

Official Stock ROM

https://www.elephone.hk/downloads

Custom ROM

Eragon:

https://xdaforums.com/android/general/rom-elephone-s8-15-10-eragon-1-0-t3689359

Unlock Bootloader

I have tried many things with no success.

Trying "fastboot oem unlock", and I find that when prompted on the fastboot mode screen to select Yes/No to unlock, there is no way to select Yes. Volume-up and Home keys don't do anything. Only Volume-down key works to select No. By the way, on fastboot/recovery mode screen, the text is too small, I actually need a magnifying glass to read it. ;) Looks like the bootloader and recovery modes don't display properly on the 2K resolution.

Another problem I encounter is that I cannot boot directly into Recovery or Bootloader mode by pressing the hardware keys. Normally, Power and Vol-up keys get me Recovery and Power and Vol-down keys get me Bootloader. No matter what key combinations I try, I just cannot boot into Recovery or Bootloader. Those hardware keys work fine on others. I'm not sure if it's just my unit.

Custom Recovery

TWRP:

https://xdaforums.com/android/general/twrp-recovery-twrp-recovery-elephone-s8-t3705742/post74531413

Root

I successfully rooted my device using the method here. https://xdaforums.com/general/rooting-roms/tutorial-elephone-s8-root-tutorial-t3688171

Change screen resolution

If 2K resolution is not for you, you can change it via ADB commands like this:

wm size 1080x1920 (for example)

The density can also be changed to make items on screen bigger or smaller like:

wm density 480 (for example)

Default values are 1440x2560 for size and 560 for density.

Discussion

Please share your development stuff here (until Elephone S8 gets its own forums).

hi,. thanks for the thread. I have mine since 3 days and its great.

I am building my eragon rom for it very soon. atm I have made a tuto for root

if you want full root. check my german guide for it.. I patched the boot.img etc..

(if I find time tomorrow I will made a guide also here)

[Device Reviews and Information] anox:
Thank you [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION]

I am very happy to see your reply. This is what I was hoping for.

I went to the site, registered and downloaded your ZIP file. I then flashed the preloader and boot files using SP flash tools. It went fine and I got the "Download OK" message.

After rebooting, I do not see Magisk or Supersu, and the build number is unchanged.

Did I miss something?

By the way, my bootloader is locked. I cannot unlock it as mentioned on my post#2.

Please let me know what I am supposed to do. I can't use my phone without root. ;)

Thank you.

PS: Good luck on the eragon rom, and let us know when it is done.
[Device Reviews and Information] skeleton1911:
Flash boot IMG via flashtools.

Reboot. Then Google and go to apkmirror or magisk XDA side and search for magisk manager. Install the APK . Done.

So all you need to do is flash my boot.img and download and install magisk manager APK.

. The build number don't change. This is only for root..

Hey skeleton, great to see you here, I guess you skipped the S7 ! My S8 is "in the mail" . It is going to be great to have Eragon on my boot screen again. Have missed it since my P8000 became my alarm clock but I think this S7 is a damn nice phone even with rooted stock ROM and the bigger screen with same guts was the deal clincher for me to order the S8. Look forward to your excellent work.
[Device Reviews and Information] wolfgart:
here i am with my S8 too.

Waiting that a complete S8 section can be created here on XDA.

Do you have guys frequent Crash using Google Play Services ? I have a bit of crashes and i have just tried to reinstall stock FW using SP Flashtool but no luck to solve. Hope in Urgent updates from Elephone .

TWRP just tried on yours ?

[Device Reviews and Information] map002:
No, I'm still on stock. I'm waiting for an Oreo build.

The things I would most like to be changed or fixed are still an issue on all existing ROMs, so I'm hoping for an updated camera library implementation from Elephone on Oreo. That might make its way into any future custom ROMS, should that happen again at this late date.

It's a long shot, but I'm still crossing my fingers, even if I'm not holding my breath. ?
[Device Reviews and Information] StressD1:
Thats what I was going to do but I was just speaking with the Eragon developer and he recommend I upgrade and just keep an eye out for Oreo if it gets released.
[Device Reviews and Information] map002:
Yeah, not a bad plan. Updating to stock again would certainly work.

And even though I've not had the pleasure of running it, the Eragon ROM seems like a really well done custom ROM with some nice tweaks. I know skeleton1911's got important family stuff to take care of right now, but I do hope that, if Elephone pushes out an Oreo release, that he might be persuaded to crank out an updated Eragon 8.0 for the S8.

If that ever does happen, I will have to unroot it though, as I use this phone to do some banking on the road. First world problems. :D

Yeah, that's a weird voodoo problem. I'd consider nuking it from orbit and just doing a factory reset to see it that helps. Good luck!

Someone drop the link where I can buy pump Express.

I saw one plus got the update of Android Octopus. Nothing new about it. No new features, it's plain.

When This Chinese phone Elephone S8 get any update? To much bugs, I have been complaining but the retards seems to understand Chinese only or whichever native language they speak.
[Device Reviews and Information] map002:
If you look back through the thread, Rock and Sony chargers have been mentioned. You can get the Rock charger at Ali Express.

And the Elephone Devs say they're working on bug fixes for the Oreo release.
[Device Reviews and Information] StressD1:
That's good, I'm kind of shocked that they sold a phone without an actual fast charger, it's quite unacceptable to be frank. I was actually kind of regretting buying the phone to be honest due to poor optimisation of the software. I really do hope they rectify the issues.
[Device Reviews and Information] map002:
Yup, cutting corners to meet the price-point and prioritising shipment over firmware bug-stomping. Welcome to the world of cheap Chinese smartphones. :)

[Device Reviews and Information] Charles Ed:
Who is getting the Elephone U pro? The launch is on 8thFeb.

I'm sure those thugs will hike the pricing which will fail to attract new buyers and experience poor sales.

Elephone S8 isn't getting the oreo update. Even the Elephone U will have android 7.1(but they're promising to upgrade it at a late date) so in short any brand they had before Elephone U pro is dead to them.

No more updates for Elephone s8 and its predecessors. RIP elephone s8.
[Device Reviews and Information] StressD1:
Is it have they confirmed this? I won't be buying another one anytime soon due to the lack of support they have gone about it all wrong, this is why oneplus was able to become one of the best smartphone makers because they handle Thier business. I should be incharge of Elephone because they don't know the art of good business practices.
[Device Reviews and Information] map002:
No, they are still promising an Oreo update for the S8 and insist that it's only delayed by bug fixes and troubleshooting. And the new phone, which is not positioned as a replacement for the S8, btw, was announced months ago, so it's not some kind of shocker that it finally will ship. ?

That being said, *never* buy on promises. If Oreo (or any other feature) is crucial to you, buy a phone that has it today. That's my advice. ?
[Device Reviews and Information] StressD1:
I know, I'd hate to think they'll provide little to no support with the U. I hear that mate, it's a bit late for that because I had just brought it last month lol. Only cost £200, I'd be annoyed if I had brought this for anything more to be honest.
[Device Reviews and Information] map002:
I still think it's a bargain even at $250, given the screen and the snappy performance. I'm not expecting a flagship phone at this price, and the screen is exceptional.

Still, you've got to buy this with your eyes open.

I'm still hoping for an Oreo update and a code release shortly after that. I'm just hoping there will still be a developer interested in the device by then so we can get some custom ROM development with full source access.

Fingers crossed. ☺️
[Device Reviews and Information] Charles Ed:
I suspect the Elephone U/U Pro launch on 8th February, they will announce major development on Elephone moving forward. Regular updates and less Chinese support team(no offense, just saying)
[Device Reviews and Information] steveye:
Well for 2 months or so I experience some annoying problems with the phone.

1. The touch screen became very sensitive, like when I want to make scroll on a browser or menu, it's taking very often the tapping command.

2. There is a problem with keyboard when I want to write something is repeatedly taking the o letter instead of designated letter, basically only the corrector saves me.

3. Sometimes on cold weather the phone starts behaving erratic, like tremouring apps, and menu it takes delayed actions or no action at all, crazy stuff like iPhone X.

I don't know why this problems started, maybe from the android or maybe because I use a different quick charger from a huawei P10...I don't know but is very annoying. Does anyone has/had this problems and how did you solve them?
[Device Reviews and Information] the steve:
On my S8 I didn't have any of the problems you describe. Have you made a full wipe to reset the phone to factory settings?
[Device Reviews and Information] steveye:
No, I didn't make a full reset. I have a lot of stuff on the phone and the problem can recur. I prefer to do full reset only when I'm out of options...if there's one...
[Device Reviews and Information] Charles Ed:
Does the Huawei P10 charger quick charge the Elephone S8? If it does, how long does it take to charge the phone?
[Device Reviews and Information] map002:
Sounds like it might be a faulty screen digitiser. If it's a hardware problem, it's unlikely to be fixed by resetting the software.
[Device Reviews and Information] steveye:
I have force stopped the Google keyboard and delete the cache and updates from settings/app and the problem solved for the moment( found some similar problem on searching Google). I have updated the keyboard again and also was ok. That was yesterday, today the problem returned. That was the first test, the second I have changed back to the original charger and problem solved...for the moment. I will test more to see if the problem return. I have also force stop, delete cache/updates for the launcher, browser, and Google and the sensitivity problem also solved. I will test the phone on cold weather to see if it has problems. It does not seem to be a hardware problem if it was fixed with a refresh of the app , ,more a conflict between Android and apps.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

Can't say I saw any difference between chargers...if it was it's minimal. I used Huawei's because it was my girlfriend charger and it was always in the soket.
[Device Reviews and Information] PRGS3:
Opinion and frustrations

I bought my S8 on Amazon last month because I smartly left my phone on an Emirates flight to Barcelona. I didn't want to spend too much and this looked like a fair option for the price.

To be fair, the device is largely okay for the price.

Pros:

Really nice screen

No speed problems

Surprisingly easy to manage even with my small hands

Cons:

Auto brightness doesn't always work well

Wifi and bluetooth range don't seem to be too good

GPS feels spotty

Battery life on the 4000mAh battery should be way better (and if I hit 9% it just dies)

Can't interact with lock-screen notifications - I can see content but can't expand to interact (the most frustrating part)

Camera - takes ok photos but software not great

Overall I would say I'm not thrilled, but for the price I guess I can't complain.
