Definitely bad update,, in 4G standby is bad, much worse than before, even after a reset. Its always the same, first 6 months 1 year its good, then start problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vagosd:
The bad thing is that we cannot submit a bug report directly to Samsung developers . We just post messages in forums with problems ...

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vagosd:
I already tried that but they forward the mail to the local support center. At first they told me to perform a factory reset (which I already did) and the second step to go for service .. I believe my message never arrived to Samsung developers .
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 3arthur6:
CRED is definitively the best battery life build on oreo.

Charge stopped at 95%.

With ton of deleted bloatwares and nox kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pockobg:
It's rather annoying but after some commenting with the support team do let them know that they have not resolved your problems after all of their "hard work" ...and only then they will pass the complaint to Samsung.

Ah finally CRED has dropped for the g955f unlocked xeu via ota

Dear all, after update to CRED my S8 stopped recognizing Xiaomi Noise Cancelling USB-C headphones. :( Is someone else experiencing the same issue? If yes, how to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pockobg:
Backup with SmartSwitch do a factory reset and test them out. Afterwards you can restore all of your data.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vagosd:
They answered me with a copy-paste answer . Generally that its affected by a lot of things . Factory reset if not solved go to service etc... No hope
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikzDHD:
Got it yesterday for BTU
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MGcko:
It hepled just for a while. First time when I plugged them it was working as before. But later when I tried it again it is again not recognizing the earphones. Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] emod0705:
Check developer option.. There is a setting for the USB audio.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pockobg:
Did they stop working after you restored or not? If yes, then some of the apps can be the cause. If not do chech in developers options for them.

Hey guys , i have just bought a new S8+ unlocked , G955F and it came with 7.0 . It's June , and i still haven't received the Oreo update . I've attached a screenshot of my system info . My question , can i manually update with odin G955FXXU1CRD7_G955FOXM1CRD5_ROM ? It's carrier free romanian version from sammobile.

Thanks !

no prob ! let me know if u notice battery life difference. bcs I do notice that nougat version is a lot better in battery section :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgoodall:
I've noticed a serious drop in battery life since installing CRED, OTA. I'm gone from 4-5 SOT to 3-3.5.

Anyone else experiencing a drop since the update?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] picaadi:
Yes ...i have ****ty battery to...i have it with all oreo updates...nougat was far better
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyberon:
Ok, i think it's enough, can we please STOP talking about battery life.

let's discuss useful stuff guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgoodall:
It was just a comment as I'd been led to believe there would be a great improvement with the latest update reading this thread. But instead just further disappointment.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyberon:
Not referring to your comment specifically, battery life depends on lots of factors besides the OS, so your mileage will vary. :svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hamid Chikh:
Yes, Very BAD
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marvinho+:
It's important to report stuff like this. Maybe an update breaks something. But I agree that if an update is out for several weeks and you are the first one to experience bad battery life, it's probably not the update. Especially if you are coming from nougat to oreo for the first time it takes up to 48 hours for the batterylife to adjust. Also keep in mind that your battery is now one year old and it is physically degrading. That's what batteries do. It doesn't have the same capacity it had one year ago. And the last advice: do a reboot once in a while, it never hurts.

With that said, I think that oreo is doing a pretty good job with the battery, at least since crc7
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vagosd:
The last 2 updates have acceptable battery life . But that doesn't mean it's good. and I say again SOT is good , standby sucks ....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Enisine:
Auto focus does not work properly.

Is there anyone with similar problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hamid Chikh:
I have that in a blank subjet like the sky, or in slow motion
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marvinho+:
Try shaking the phone a little bit. The OIS can get stuck sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 21xtreme:
When camera open and not focusing try a gentle tap on the top left hand side ... Quite common fault of the focus sticking
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zebandido:
I had the same issue. Always tapping on the câmera to get focus work... So i went to Samsung for repairing the phone.

They fixed and offered a case with an apology letter, kind of ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tnbx:
Every one complain about battery but I bet every single person that is feeling the battery drain either have Facebook app or Facebook messager open or running on background , or any other app draining battery and are blaming the Oreo versions , battery drain ? Turn off gps location turn off internet data turn off the sync and disable Facebook and Facebook messager plus other apps that apear to be consuming battery , Android users have the resources to manage app background process USE IT instead of complaining .

Smartphones aren't that smart to know what users want !
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vagosd:
If you turn everything off you probably don't need a smartphone . The point is to have them enabled and they optimize power usage so battery lasts enough

But in Oreo they have messed with antenna /modem consumption and standby times are worst than nougat
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tnbx:
But u think u have a battery on your phone or a nuclear power plant ? If u step on the gas on your car it will spend more fuel right ? The phones use more power according how u use it , it is that simple , if u want it to last longer u have to turn of some features like location and 4G data , plus any app that is draining battery specially specially damn face book
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vagosd:
The point is that on nougat I didn't exchange the nuclear power plant for a battery and I had more standby time . So the same phone decreased standby times since oreo . It means that the firmware have to be improved to match the battery life as the previous version
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] picaadi:
I'm so tired of this bull.**** battery life on oreo...i would have downgraded if it was possible because of the bootloader... offfff
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] t12icky0:
Battery life is great on Oreo for me. Of course I use Facebook and messenger and a few battery hungry apps but it's better then nougat for me. I get 15 hours on my battery on average and I'm a heavy user.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] speedbirdengineer:
Mine lasts 24 hrs with fb and messenger and WhatsApp. If u tweak your settings where apps u don't require to work in background( optimise them) the battery surely will last longer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] t12icky0:
Good to know There's better battery life, I must be doing something wrong..haha
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PetritH:
I don't usually use the phone that much during the working days, but the battery ain't that bad, I don't have facebook installed though, but I do use lite messenger, I always charge my phone every 2 days.

It was strange to experience some problems when charging the phone, with the battery at 34% the lock screen indicated that it was 6 hours before the full charge so I restarted and now it tells me that it needs 1 hour to get the full charge. I deactivated the fast charge and restored the cell phone after installing the June update. (S8 Exynos)

can i flash it in exynos? the "for SD" confuses me a lot

I am checking for new update since April (when i got CRC7) till now daily and i get no update.

Hello to all. I have Nougat on a nobrand ITV phone. my current software is G950FOXM1AQK7. I would like to specify if everything goes without losing future updates by installing the update d 481 mega file on xda. then an explanation from who has already done it:

1. I downloaded the ZRA5 firmware that I should flash, but with odin? a file only?

2. then I should flash the CRAP update.zip file, but how do I access the recovery stock?

you confirm that following this procedure does not alter anything for future updates and I refer to it ita no brand?
