Pushing power button accidentally 3 times instead of 2 - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

So unfortunately I like the feature of pushing the power button twice for the camera but it seems that if you're not careful and you accidentally push it 3 times you trigger the SOS message

In options/advanced settings you can disable sos messages. This will also disable the 3 push activator.

The SOS feature was disabled by default here. I suppose it's a small service for those that could need it, while there are plenty of better apps to do the same and more.

I turned off SOS because I would trigger by mistake but I like the idea so I have it set on my Gear S2. The SOS sends a sound clip, map and pictures from your front and back cameras to more than one contact. The apps I saw just sent a text. I saw apps that come with services but no stand along. Can you give an example of a better app?

I had to turn my SOS off as I'm a heavy camera user and it was causing serious issues sending out alerts to people.
Stupid it's on the camera button. Why not Bixby?

I don't use SOS apps, but a quick search showed me iHELP , seems a good one. See if it's available in your country cos not every app is worldwide, and I'm from Europe. It lists us and uk emergency dials though and all sorts of usefull extras.

So I know this thread is about 3 press power but just wondering how your guys buttons have been holding up... Mine seem to click good but loud and the power button wiggles and rattles bad... So annoying.... Want to return but don't want to get something worse... (Pink screen etc)... Anyway phone is a week old only... Looser than S6/7edge buttons

power button lag note 3

Hey everyone. Just wanted to know if you all are experiencing a lag when using the power button to turn OFF the screen. At times it will be instant and at others it will do a 2 phase dimming before powering off. Also at other times it will take a couple seconds before responding to the push of the button. Let me know if you all are having the same issue. I had the note 2 and I don't remember if it had the same problem.
Also I can post a video when I can if ya all need a visual.
Thanks in advance.

Turning off the option for using the power button for s-voice (s-voice options) reduces the lag

I got annoyed by the Home button so I installed Button Savior on my Note 2. I'll do that on my Note 3 for sure. I just hate mechanical Home button. I wish Button Savior lets me configure long pressing Home to be launching Google Now
How? Can you guide me to make it off.

Screens only on german, hope it helps.
Start s-voice, after that, enter settings (menu button). Disable option (should be "open with home button" or sth. like this (I'm using a german device)
Hope, this helps
cheers

I have the same issue, considering going to the store to swap it.. but store is 3hrs away T_T
Do you guys think this is just the effect of too harsh a transition to screen off max frequencies?

note 3 lag
I messed around with the settings and it's not like a huge difference but try turning off the water ink effect for the lock screen to open the device and put none and I notice a .5 or sec difference, it's sad if it turns out because of that:crying:
Omg I found out why there is lag on the power button when putting the phone to sleep and waking it up. Turns out that a lot of apps or system processes, well it uses a lot of ram I used a app called clean master it's free and it frees up ram. When I free the ram the power button seem more responsive. So try it out. Kind of disappointing for an amazing phone even with 3gb ram can still be effected like this

I got the same problem. Bought mine from a Fortress in Hong Kong unlocked. 4G LTE model.
Also noticed that not only is there a lag before the power off button kicks in but a lag for the thing yo actually shut down. Takes a while to shut down.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with power saving frequencies set in the kernel. I have experience this with previous devices when tweaking kernel for power saving. If the low side for idle is really low you'll get the lag. Don't quote me on this but I'm almost certain.

It completely removes it for me. Its pretty much instant.
I agree. I went into svoice and unchecked open via the home key and also wake up command and the lag waking up mostly gone. I still get some with multiple apps running in the background though, not too concerned either way.

If you uncheck open via the home button you will no longer be able to open it back up by double clicking on the home button. Say you unchecked it and then you wish to go back and check it again you will no longer be able to go back as double clicking on home button no longerbrings back this option to check or uncheck again
Anyone know how to bring this option back?
But see this thread is about the power but to make it sleep and wake up, not the home button to go back to the main page.

Vibration Settings Not Sticking

Hello again.
Not sure if this has already been discussed. Apologies if it was - I tried searching with Tapatalk but couldn't find anything.
I set my vibration settings to heartbeat but it doesn't seem to do anything. When notifications come through, I'm still getting the default long buzz. Anyone else run into this?

Hahaha yes I definitely am. It's sticking in terms of the option being persistent in the settings, but when it comes to it actually being used, I'm still getting the default long buzz. Will try a few of the other options and see what happens.

make your own one see if that sticks
Maybe this is a stupid question. Does the vibration pattern affect notifications or just the ringtone? I hate having such a long pulse for a short notification tone.
Apologies if it only affects the ringer. I'm just getting used to the Note 3. Can't wait for some good roms to come out for the Verizon version!

But you should really be ashamed for not knowing even the inbuilt settings of the phone.
And do press the "Thanks" button for him.

Edge Notification Bug

Hello everyone, I noticed that many of us have a problem with new edge notifications, that is, that when they are off, they will not work, but only when the screen is turned on, even if either Both or Off-screen is active
Speaking with the samsung I was confirmed that I DO NOT NEED TO HAND THE TELEPHONE WITH THE SCREEN RETURNED TO THE LOW
For who had this problem and managed to solve what he did exactly?
Do not get me to say that apps must be supported because even normal phone does not work with the new notification
Apparently it seems to work randomly, or at least it's so in my case
i have S8 950F last firmware / update AQH3

I had to reinstall all the rom because bugs were notifications, in any case and most likely it's a bug, because it works on me but it just does not turn off

Hey! I had the same issue and it was because i had "AZ Screen Recorder" in the status bar always active so it blocks it. Just close it and it's all good at least for me.
Hope i helped.

Glad to hear that !
I think it's some app who put an overlay on the screen who blocks somehow.
