Did anyone see what this actually does? Does this unlock the bootloader? Just wondering.
Verizon probably forgot to remove it. I doubt it does anything

Yeah I saw that too, wondering if anyone could try anything with it??

no you can't do anything else. Also i know that your provider can tell if you have this option enabled because i was trying to get support for intermittent wifi and they asked me why i had it enabled.

Wow... sneaky bastards!
All phones on Marshmallow have this option by default even if it does nothing. It's a feature that Google is using for phones with unlockable bootloaders for increased security and it just happened to make its way here and on multiple other phones that don't allow unlocking.

It's like the dummy thermostat put on the wall behind the counter at banks.
Tellers are some of the fussiest folks when it comes to temperatures.
The HVAC management company never allows them to change settings.
So to stop complaints, they put a dummy thermostat up.
And it gets adjusted many times during the day.
And they feel better about it.

Oh god no wonder why cyanogenmod is dead and xda is dying with all the false knowledge on these forums. These guys are the type of people who call their check engine light a idiot light. Then wonder why they broke down in traffic. No
Seems Nobody knows what ONE Unlock is for.
Hey guys the unlock toggle what it does is when you enable it and you do a factory resett on your phone it makes it so there is no locking setup on your phone you do not have to verify through google or any pin that usrd to br established

1) Keeps on dropping wifi calling then it will work for a little bit a while later and then repeat
2) Galaxy app store keeps logging me off and I have no clue why
3) Auto brightness turns itself off sometimes
I can kinda deal with the random lag, stutter but the issues above are so annoying, running stock firmware QF8 with no package disablers.
No one?

Wi-Fi Calling I have this issue - I am on 3 in the UK. I have the 3 branded firmware, and Wi-Fi Calling rarely activates on my home network despite it being an extremely fast connection. It's odd because it doesn't seem to matter how strong the signal strength of the Wi-Fi is, I can be next to the box and it doesn't work, I can be at the top of our three storey house and it does.
Galaxy Apps signing out I have this also, but it only tends to happen if I open the App, close it then re-open it without force closing it in the background. You will probably need to wait for Samsung to update Galaxy Apps before this issue is resolved.
Glad I am not the only one then

Battery life is much better...
We were all waiting for the new update to come but Once more Samsung has manage to destroy some things
One of them is screen auto light adjustment... At least at Exynos AQG5 version
Before the update you could just adjust the bar wherever you like and then with one off - on to auto switch you have return to full auto light adjustment...
Now this is impossible
With auto on if you move the bar this setting is saved like the ideal auto lighting condition and stays that way...that means that auto lighting is working good but from the base of your previous adjustment and not full stock auto.. If you deactivate and activate again the auto switch nothing happens because of the previous "saved condition"

That thread is a nightmare to read through. Sometimes when a new update comes out especially when it's in a new region, it's useful to read a nice fresh thread from page one detailing issues.
Also that thread is for ODIN not OTA.

Hi mate, just wondering if your S8+ is on a carrier?
I've got the unlocked version and I don't have any updates, I've also checked SamMobile and Updato and can't find an unlocked one. However, I did see the update for Vodafone.
Also, does anyone know if I'll get any bloatware if I flash the Vodafone version?
Thanks!

My carrier's Sky Mobile, who 'piggyback ' off the O2 network, but I don't get any O2 bloat.
My version is XEU If that makes a difference, the wierd thing is that on Updato it showed a date for XEU of the 14th of July, but I only got it on the 24th. Would be interesting to know whether anyone from O2 has received this yet.
Not sure if flashing Vodafone will install their bloat like inserting their SIMS would.
The UK roll out never makes much sense. Some network firmwares are released before the generic ones, but its not consistent and can change at anytime. The only consistent thing is that EVR (EE) is always last, and usually skips releases entirely, often as many as 3 or 4 releases.

This is how stock Android works. Auto brightness still works, it's just based off where you set it, not where the OS decided it should be.
The service mode code *#2683662# which allows you to select specific Lte bands as well as enable 4 mimo no longer works after the update, just says not supported, anyone have any workarounds or reasons why?

Click to expand...

I googled this when I first got the phone and it seems in Korea they make the phones so you CAN'T disable the shutter sound. (It is illegal)
My work around was to download a silent camera app from the play store for moments when you do not want folks to know you are taking photos. :good:
I rooted mine and changed the shuttersound.ogg to .ogg.bak no more sound.
I think I should root my note..
But I have doubts regarding some "secure" apps could not work cause they chek if the phone is rooted.. I m taljing about bank app, pay tv app (Sky in italy)..
Anyone have a experience with these apps?
Another question, for root permission I understood I have to flash a twrp recovery as well, true?
If one day I want to return "stock", is it sufficient to flash the stock firmware by Odin?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kmshack.mute
I don't know if it works on the new S8 Software, but on my Galaxy S7 with Nougat it works perfectly :laugh:
In a few days i can test it on my Note FE
Try this!
No need to do any rooting to your Note FE
I live in Korea and there are a lot of application which disable the sound from stock camera.

Read the instructions in the OP here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-fe/development/root-note-fe-t3648736. As rooting involves disabling sm-verity, you will not be able to use any app that requires a fully secure device. Remember to backup your device with TWRP before you modify it.
You can flash stock via Odin when you want to return. Bear in mind that you will lose whatever modification(s) you made to disable the shutter sound.

Well see like the phone recording laws you have to go and look on a per state basis. Just because it can do something doesnt mean it is legal in all cases. Like many places require that you get peoples permission before taking phones at a public event. It all depends on your state.
Yes it is old. But that is on purpose. It was the basics for anyone that wants to know more to start off on.
Works perfect, nearly lost hope to get rid of that annoying shutter sound.

Not that I know. I know that good Lock adds functionality to edge lighting but not that function in particular. Maybe someone else could chime in. On a brighter note I saw in a Samsung forum that Samsung was working on giving the lights around the camera some of those led functions. It didn't come from Samsung officially so who knows. That being said RIP phisical LED!

Well that's normal behavior. The only progress bar you'll see is in the app store itself and if you happen to be using one of the apps being updated it might force close. I'm not sure sure what the question is. Maybe a bit more details in regards to what you're trying to accomplish might help. ?

Im experiencing a drop in data connectivity once in a while, be it with browser, fb, ig, youtube etc. BUT my 4G icon is still available and present at the navigation bar with full service reception.
I called my provider if there is any issues on their end but they said all is fine up and running.
Anybody having this issues or isit my baseband faulty or some kind? Snapdragon hardware btw. I have hard reset it by using the buttons but still no use.
Im an avid android geek having 3 4 phone changed in a year but this is by far the most frustrated device yet
Please help do i need to turn off some settings or what not?
Hopefully its just a software glitch or something it would be a hassle to send in for investigation.
Did you try a "Reset network settings"? That would probably be my first step in troubleshooting.

I can do that but I cannot find in gallery, or anywhere else, the AR emojis. It only seems to work in the stock Messages app as it puts a dedicated button for this purpose in the input box.
