I need to be able to disable fast dormancy on the S5. The Bahamian phone system, AFAIK, doesn't support FD. At least not during 2012/13. I asked a friend living, in Abaco, who's very knowledgeable on the subject. He's unaware of any changes on this front.
I found a reference to a hack for the S3, but I don't know if it works with the S5. Or if rooting is needed to (e.g., to hack build.prop).
Anybody got information on this issue?

The GT-9300 app should work, if it's still possible to disable it.
I use fast dormancy of gohanmoral and does fine

Thanks! As far as I can tell, the app is working. Until I connect with a carrier that doesn't support FD, I won't know for sure. Unless there's a way to verify it's working on my S5 while I'm still in the States. I can, of course, inspect the file and see the changes applied. The question is whether or not it's valid for this phone and OS rev. Ideas?

Thank you, just used this on my Galaxy S5, hope it helps.
We still haven't gotten to the Bahamas, where the fast dormancy hack is needed. If you can test the installation, and can report on the results, I want to hear how it goes.
just put next radio app on my US TMo S8+ and works great with the included headphones as Antenna
I saw Samsung has a fm radio icon i love to use
FYI I just jumped to Tmo S8 active.. and fm radio also works on the active
Really?? that's the one thing I missed about the note 7. Thank you for this.

I didn't send it anywhere... works just out of the box
It's listed on the website as being supported ...just download the app ..plug in the headset for an antenna ...it works
http://nextradioapp.com/supported-devices/
Yep, confirmed working on Verizon S8+. Good find. I just read the specs somewhere that it didn't have FM and forgot about it. NICE.
Can someone share the apk? thanks
There is no APK for it you just download an app that can access the radio. Next Radio is one, and I believe there's a few others, but Next is the more "known" one.
No fm radio is canada
FM on Sprint S8 already installed
Cool, saw the thread and checked phone to install app. Already installed !! Plugged in my headphones and listening to PBS in minutes.
Thanks for the FYI! I don't know why it would be deactivated in certain regions. Is it consumer demand or studies like the weird G6 feature fragmentation?
thanks for the info mate
i dont understand that the international S8+ Exynos cant do this, what is the difference in this case
the fm radio is built in to the chip... so snapdragon vs exynos

For what it's worth, doesn't work on a UK S8+ Exynos.
not working on my exynos g955f PET from Peru, if i flash another firmware u would be able to unlock the radio?

You do realize that this is a US S8 thread? This is not the place to ask your question.

Hi there.
I just wonder how NFC is working for you. I have no problems reading a bankcard for example. On various other NFC Tag I have issues. They don´t get recognized.
I also own a couple of NFC enabled Sony Cameras and a Headphone which is NFC enabled. Non of them get recognized. I guess I am missing something but at the moment I have the feeling NFC is working very bad.
In addition. Does someone knows where the NFC antenna EXACTLY is located?
Cheers
I will try to make several NFC badges tests with OP5 at work very soon (I have many types on my desk) and report here :good:
Cheers'
Will do some tests as well when I get mine on Monday and let you know

Smart Call is a feature I love on Samsung phones.
I just picked up a dual sim S8+ last week, and I can't find where to enable it. Samsung's website says to do it through 'Caller ID and spam protection' in the Call settings, but this is not an option I have.
Is this not a feature available on the international model or did Samsung remove it from Oreo?
Smart Call is available for phones meant to be shipped to US. I don't think it would work on your phone as it's not meant to be sold in US. Samsung uses HIYA to provide the smart call service. Installing HIYA yourself should also give you pretty similar results. Personally I like TrueCaller better as it works for Individual callers also and not just Businesses as in HIYA. TrueCallers database is much more robust.

It csc related. What provider you planning to use it on?
Or if you root you can definitely activate it...

I'm using it on Rogers in Canada.
Is there an easy root for Oreo? I already have no warranty, so I don't care if I void it.

How did it go? I'm in the exact same boat but on the Telus network in Canada. I love the smart call feature and how well integrated it was, but switched to dual sim for work purposes and miss the feature so much... Please let me know if it worked out for you ... I am very new to this and have never rooted or installed a new rom but would really appreciate any help.

There was a noticeable lag from running it on stock touchwiz. It would take at lest 3 rings before it pulled in the ID
But it worked

I use rom stock, but with root, installed via odin, can I just get a custom csc with the function?
Hey guys, i'm very new to this as well and i purchased T-mobile Galaxy S8 Active thats unlocked which I use on Koodo in Canada. I would also like to have smart call back like i did on my old S8. Whats the best way for me to to this, i also wouldnt mind getting rid of the t-mobile apps. Ive read about flashing the phone and putting on an unlocked firmware which would remove tmobile and put on a stock samsung firmware. is this true, what is the best way for me to do this?

Just got the phone and updated right to Pie and I can't connect my S3 frontier. Same issue that was going on in the beta's. As soon as I attempt the pairing it forces close. Anyone get theirs to work?!
