Does anyone have a list of known not working apps? Specifically WhatsApp, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram etc. and also mobile banking apps and games and stuff.

Solid Explorer didn't work with the betas but they did an update and it works for me now. (Wouldn't access external SD drive properly)

I had the same issue with Solid Explorer but the beta itself had sd card issues which were sorted out in a subsequent release. All is good now for me. I still see a few weird things here and there but it's mostly Samsung apps that exhibit the weirdness.

We must be close to the end now. Thinking we'll get 5 on Tuesday, because of the Monday holiday.

Read that article this morning. Very cool. I, however, take seriously bad pictures no matter what kind of phone/app/settings I use. Probably wouldn't help me much. Have to say though... Anything would be an improvement on the "selective focus" mode on my S8. That's the closest we currently have to any kind of portrait mode right? I'm an admitted camera ignoramus.

Well if it works on the S8 or any supported phone for that matter then that's huge. The only place where the S8 is sorta lacking is DoF for portraits. This will solve it.

Have you tried it yet?

Haven't tried it yet. Off work Friday and will give it a shot then when I have time to play with it.

OK, decided to give it try. Downloaded and opened without problem. But... And forgive me if I'm being an *****... I don't know where to view the pics! They are not in the gallery.

For me its saved here:



And I was able to install it on my S8+ running stock Nougat. It's a little glitchy but works great. Portrait shots from both the front and rear cameras are a lot better then Selective Focus.

OK, I'm being dense but where is that "more details" screen?

It's on the picture in Google photos. Top right corner.

Thank you! Don't use Google photos normally. Will enable it now. Appreciate the response.

Were you able to view the portrait mode photos this way? It's only showing the "regular" photos for me in the Google Photos gallery.

 

[pankaj981]

Weird. I'm on stock G955U1 ROM and the pics are visible on both Google Photos and stock Gallery app.

No. Couldn't see portrait photos in Samsung Gallery. G950U1
