You're on Sprint with a Samsung and you got an update??????

Ever since I "upgraded" (and I use that term loosely) to Oreo, I've had multiple issues w/my 8mo old S8+. Everything from poor signal reception (both wifi and OTA, phone and data) to Trusted Placed and Onbody Detection refusing to work (I now have to use either my fingerprint or PIN EVERY time I...

I have a Sprint S8+ purchased last year. Since the Oreo update, things have been getting a little wonky (some (not all) text msgs won't save, phone won't recognize SmartLock, everything seems to be slower, etc). I'm planning on doing a factory reset. I know how to do that but I want to know what...

I got the same 130+mb update last night. Either it's a precursor to the Oreo update or it's something to keep Samsung owners quiet and content while waiting (and waiting and waiting) for Oreo. Like I said in another thread, I knew when I bought a Samsung, I would get few to no updates.

Not nearly enough of an upgrade for me. I'll wait on the S10 although I'll see what the Note 9 has to offer.

Still nothing. Sprint. US. I bought the S8+ knowing that updates would be few and far between, if at all. I don't really care anymore although in this respect, I sort of miss my old Nexus.

Has anyone used a battery case from Alpatronix? Their 4k mAh case is cheaper than the ZeroLemon and it appears much smaller. Also, the Alpatronix case is compatible with Qi wireless charging where the ZeroLemon doesn't claim to be. HAGO!

First, I'd say there's about zero possibility of burn in after a few weeks. Second, burn in generally occurs when there's a static image on a screen for long periods of time. That was the original reason for a moving screen saver on a computer. The image continued to move, therefore the image...

Never had any text issues but I got the same earlier in the week. It's about time, even if it probably doesn't really do anything.

I wear glasses and the iris scanner can't see through them. It's a pain to have to remove my glasses every time I want to access my phone. I think the fingerprint scanner just plain sucks, regardless of the location. That only leaves facial recognition which seems to be a bit iffy. (Or...pin...

It's not router specific. My folks have 2 homes. When I leave one wifi area, wifi calling cuts out (as it should). When I enter another area where my phone is already configured for that particular wifi, it won't activate wifi calling even though it automatically connects to that wifi router...

I've tried turning on/off both wifi and wifi calling. Doesn't make a difference. What do you mean by "route configuration"?

I have a 2 week old Samsung Galaxy S8+ w/Sprint. I love the wifi calling (had it 2 phones ago on a Nexus 6P w/Project Fi) but whenever I move to a new wifi router location, I lose wifi calling until I reboot the phone. Is this something I can fix in the settings, is this normal (surely not) or...

Will the edge features work with Nova? I've used Nova on my last 2 or 3 phones and love it but I won't lose features by using it.
