Thought it might be a good idea for all the know early faults to be in one place like the camera zoom fault in video mode etc.
Few guys including me are having issues when using bluetooth. I.e. paired to in car bluetooth. It seems caller cant hear me even thou i can hear them clearly.
Another thing when bluetooth is connected even though you have the loudspeaker option on the phone when pressed it doesnt work. Surely this should be disabled option when connected to bluetooth if it doesnt work anyways?

Could it be related to bt4.0 ?
It could be to do with that. We will have to wait and see when more people connect theres up to there car. Baring in mind the vehicle is fairly new as its a 61 plate merc sprinter 313
Taken from my post at Reddit. Not just faults but also some annoyances.
After 3 days of testing I have a few things that bother me:
When adding any app as a accessibility service (e.g. Lightflow), the Touchwiz Launcher will start telling you where you are right now, e.g. "Homescreen 3 of 5", "Opening folder". Can be fixed by using Apex or removing the app as an accessibility service.
Waking up the phone isn't always instant.
No USB storage mode, only MTP or PTP. You can't use the phone while transferring files.
Boot animations use Samsung's proprietary QMG format --> no custom boot animations for now
While you're in a call, sometimes you can't use your mobile data connection. Wifi works though.
Attaching headset/earphones shows various audio applications that can be launched in the notification area. These apps cannot be customized.
The accuweather widget has a maximum refresh time of one hour. Setting it to anything less than that is not possible. Also, it doesn't always update the current location.

Nothing serious as it seems.
.... and that Accessibility bug has been around a lot longer than the SGS3 - so a fix maybe has to come from Google?

I'd say the non instantaneous lockscreen would be annoying, and MTP would be a real disadvantage. The S3 doesn't allow you to use your phone while in MTP.
I have a Purple tint in the middle the screen . Do you think it Can disappear with an update

That's a known problem with ICS, had it on my Galaxy Nexus too!
Can anyone tell me what the speaker volume is like on the S3?
Also having bluetooth issues. Paired my s3 to a 2 year old toyota RAV4 and the pairing work ok, however poeple can't hear me at all. Got to work this morning and paired with a new Hyundai ix35 and all work ok. Have got my RAV 4 booked in a toyota next week to see if theres a software upgrade for the stereo. I hope this can be rectified...

The phone goes off as you bring it close to your ear to stop your ear pushing anything whilst you are on a call then when you pull away the screen will come back on is that what you mean

Lol, no, that's not what I meant.
Supposing I make a phone call, the screen is lit as normal, I then place the phone to my ear to speak, the screen goes off, after 2-3 seconds it will come back on and stay on!
Even if I took the phone away from my ear while talking, and then put it back on my ear, the screen will once again go aff, and after a few seconds it will come back on and stay on until I finish the phone conversation.
Sounds strange but that's exactly what it's doing.
sounds like you got an app controlling screen timeout while on call. check through your apps see if any of them have permission to control screen time out

best is to go to menu>settings>applications>manage applications and check through manually. i had a similar issue with my x10 and found it was a app causing the screen to stay on while on a call

It's build 3883. Yesterday I downloaded the update to 4399, tried to run it several times, it does nothing and just reboots and turns back on...
However, could the proximity problem be a fault as I've never had this problem before and I've had dozens of touch screens in the past...
I will now backup my data and do a factory reset to see if it solves the problem.

Flumps, thanks a billion for your help, seems you was right!
I just did a factory reset to remove all installed apps & settings, when the booted back on, I made a phone call, put it to my ear for about 10 seconds, the display shut off AND STAYED OFF UNTIL I TOOK THE PHONE OFF MY EAR!!!
Strange though, what app could it be?
What I will do now is install the apps again ONE BY ONE to see the culprit, and if I find out I will let you know.
Ok, I just installed all the previous apps I had one by one and testing the phone.
Have a guess WHICH app was the culprit????
The dam Advanced Task Killer!!!
I am not at all surprised though because other people said that task killers are NOT recommended on the Dell Streak.
The only weird thing is that I've used the Advanced task killer on 3 other Android based phones including HTC Hero, HTC HD2 & HTC Desire and I never had this problem...
I take it the Dell Streak does not like task/app killers...
haha, glad you sorted it bro! ya, task managers are abit meh on the streak, best to stay clear for now.

i am usin a bluetooth stereo headset, the sony ericsoon mw600, and i don't have any issues with it. Always listening to music and sound comes from both earbuds.
The problem lies in when you try and make a phonecall. For music I'm golden, It's only when I try and make a call that the fail begins...
This has been reported and is in the list of fixes for the next update.
Same problem...
Exactly the same...discovered such a consistent problem with the earphones with the calls myself. This relates to a software problem or device difference I think. Since this is a beta problems surely will exist. In addition the other party has difficulty hearing my voice from the earphones microfone. Only left earphone is working. However I recall in the first days of the usage; having spoken without problems with the earphones (both working). Do you have sound enhancer installed? Have you changed any settings. I will try default settings and an uninstallation tomorrow since it has no functionality (not working at all). Will report later...see ya all
I know it's been reported, I was one of the first to report it. Just seeing if there is a fix I missed.
Well, I've flashed WinMo7 a few times now and noticed that the headset workes fine and dandy up untill I activate XBOX live. Immediantly afterwords the headset problem begins. Im sure this will all be fixed with an update. Just curious if anyone knows of a quickfix I might have missed.
By the way, I think I kinda love WinMo7.
Thanks guys

Mine are not lighting up and not working. I have done various resets and things would be back to normal, but that has stopped now.

Factory resets were advised in other threads but did not work. I'm getting so many bugs on this phone that it's starting to piss me off

I''ll give that a try as that seems to be the only option left apart from returning it.
Gave it a try x 2 and it initially appears to work. Then installed some apps and it reverted back. Tried again, and tried setting up as a new phone, same thing. This phone has to be the most disappointing smartphone I have ever had. Permanent bugs, poor sound. Should have waited for the HTC 10.

Don't have one touch mode anywhere . This phone is really beginning to piss me off. Surely a replacement can't have as many bugs as the one I have. Samsung Internet hardly ever works, the settings I save never save and now this. i'm thinking Samsung rushed this out.
Maybe it's called "Single touch mode" or something similar, I'm translating from Italian...

I think your only option is to get a replacement then. Hope you get a working one becuase this really is a great phone.
So people say but I have had nothing but problems with it. The sound quality is poor, it never saves my settings and I had to pay £200 to replace the screen whilst out jogging. I didn't drop it, it was in my arm strap for the entire 2 mile jog back from the gym. I'd love to swap it for a HTC 10 as I had the M7 and M8 and they were great phones and I didn't have any issues with them.

You must have just got a faulty one. I have had mine since it was released here in the uk and have not had a single problem with it other than the occasional reboot but thats acceptable and is just in the nature of Android. I would try a replacement but if you prefer you could sell it and put what ever you get towards a htc 10.

Is powersave mode on?
I've taken it to Samsung on Oxford St, London. After waiting 90 mins a member of staff tried the buttons and then said they will have to send it away for repair and it will take 7-8 days. Then instead of posting it back to me I have to go back to Oxford St and presumably have to wait the same time to get it back. Shambolic customer service.

Type of pause?
How long is pause?
Is it clipping?
Is it at a high volume?
Do you have any type of mono or Bluetooth apps installed?
Are you using WIFI or mobile connection for streaning?
Does it occur at certain locations or everywhere?
*Do you use OK GOOGLE or any similar Voice activated apps?
*Check your NOTIFICATIONS! Try changing SOUND NOTIFICATIONS to VIBRATE for all apps by going into sounds & notif in settings.. Change MODE to vibrate.
*Also try playing in AIRPLANE mode & do not disturb
*Does it occur when streaming to a tv or media device?
With these questions we can rule out various "connectivity" issues or interference as WELL as apps fighting for control over speaker or microphone, for notifications etc. As there are many
You should find the cause as with almost all media streaming apps most have options to go into a do not disturb mode as other apps utilize the same reaources resulting in conflicts like you described! After changing to VIBRATE notification mode and/or AIRPLANE mode, it becomes just a matter of narrowing down offending app.. Until then it will work at least!
HOPE THIS HELPS! There r days I need help! too
I had same problem and ı thought this problem can be related to an app ı installed. And it was. When i uninstalled Sputnik news. My problem had gone. If u have it, uninstal. If u dont have, may be one of other app causes. Try uninstalling each app, and find the app causes this problem
I updated my S8 to Oreo a few weeks back (Samsung Experience 9.0) and ever since I have a plethora of problems.
The main one being that charging the device is now a battle...
I seem to have narrowed it down to using a fast charge power brick (2.0A)
I have tried the official Samsung unit and cable supplied with the phone, and good quality 3rd party cables and plugs....nothing works.
The device does not even register the cables existence.
BUT,
If I use a standard plug (< 2.0A), and a none Samsung cable it will charge
If I use a Samsung cable, it does not. Seemingly regardless of plug.
I've also noticed that the battery life has significantly reduced, come noon time, the deice is ready to be charged, showing less than 50% having been sat on my desk, with little to no use. (I only charge it at this point as I know it wont make it the rest of the day)
Some other issues I've noticed since the Oreo update...Wi-Fi seems choppy, slow and laggy, and I quite often get the " ! " next to the signal status bar icon.
And almost 100% of the time if I try to cast to one of my Chromecast or Google Home devices, the S8 does not see them (connected to same Wi-Fi SSID), meaning if I open Google Home app, and click top right to see my devices, they are....sometimes disabling and re-enabling Wi-Fi will fix this.
I spoke to what Samsung call their 'Tech Support' and it was beyond a joke...their solution...."Turn the phone off and on"...that was it, they could / would not offer any more support than this, and also claimed that I was the only 1 reporting this / these "potential issues"
I had another update pushed to my S8 yesterday (14.05.2018) which according to the docs was released 10.05.18 - G950FXXU1CRD7
This has not helped with anything....
Has anyone else had any of these or similar problems following Oreo update?
Does anyone know of any 'fix' if so?
TIA
