Just got an OTA update - Fingers crossed for Cell Standby Fix

Just received an OTA update to Android. Still shows version 4.0.4 but it looks like it has updated the kernel. Hopefully this is a fix for the cell standby issue. It was only 8.54Mb so it looks promising.

The transition from apps to the home screen when pressing the home key seems loads smoother and faster so that looks like it is one fix

Just updated mine via Kies - Home button much more responsive

Is the predictive text fixed? Meaning does it still erase everything in "My word list" when you reboot.

is it region specific or global?

I believe its UK (BTU CSC) carrier unbranded, though havent flashed yet.

I haven't noticed anything other than the home button seems more responsive yet. My battery is at 81% which is good going for mid-day but i'll give it a charge and see how the cell standby looks.

Will this break root?

Hi guys, have you noticed that the home button gets more responsive/faster when you disable s-voice. After "double tapping home button to start s-voice" is disabled, it no longer waits for the "second press", and gets to home much faster.
To disable it, start s-voice /menu/settings/

I think it's pretty well know that at least part of the delay is there by design to allow for double press to activate S-Voice.

I've got a UK non branded S3 and rooted last night. No sign of OTA here when check on the phone. Any idea whats going on?

Try Kies

It looks like it fixes memory issues with TouchWiz having to reload after exiting multiple programs

Thanks. I'll have a look for the download version when I get home.

Question remains
Those who have tried it, does it break root or do you still have root?

Yes it did break root for me, only on titanium though. Reinstalled it and busybox and all ok now

Did you get yours OTA or download then flash?

I am on Omega 4.1. No update via phone and Kies tell me that my phone is not supported for OTAs. Is it because of the custom ROM? Anyone having a link for this update.

Meizu MX5 and push notification issues

I bought them for almost two months and overall satisfied with everything except one thing - push notification issue. This is apply to all apps that owner need to be notified such as LINE, WhatsApp or even Gmail. It would happen around 1-3 minutes after your phone standby. Delay could be from 5 minutes to 15 minutes and more. No "Power saving" and "Wifi sleep" enabled. This was happen a much less when I was with 4..5.2.5A rom and much more when I upgraded to 4.5.2.7A. You could see messages only if you open those app manually most of the times. It was ridiculous
Here are solutions I tried and non of them work so far.
1. Went to Security --> Permissions --> Set "LINE" / "Google Services Framework" / "Google Account Manage" as auto restart.
2. above + Went to Security --> Power Saving --> Set "LINE" available to run while idle. Two setting simultaneously and still not work.
3. above two + lock "LINE" application to work on background. Three combination still doesn't ring a bell.
4. Roll back to 4.5.2.4A / 4.5.2.2A / 4.5.2.1A and still the same. (4.5.2.5A has been merged by Meizu developer so non available for download at the time.)
5. Try install almost every Launcher, every notification apps and even "push notification fixer" (for non-root) and still the same.
Do you have any idea or recommendation for a custom rom or a custom fix for this issue?

Hi.
I have just the same issue with recently bought Meizu M2 mini: Hangouts, Skype, Gmail - no notifications.... It's really frustrating

I have never had notification problems with M2 and MX5, this is what I do:
Security App, permission, Launch. Here every app to notify. Google stuff also.
Security app, powersaving. The same
Also this apps blocked in the multitask
Settings, wifi, advanced, wifi sleep disabled

Lock the app in ram via multitasking bar, this will not let the app to turn off.

anyone find a solution to this?

Hi
I found the solution 100% working for me. Just enter in security app/power/settings and disable the option " disable Linked Launch" thats all. Enjoy!

I had the same problem and solved it by
1. un checking 'disable linked launched'
2. Allowing all apps in security/power/app management

New Verizon update - G950USQU1AQD9

Woke up this morning and it was ready to be installed.
Link to update details - https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s8-update/
The answering calls with volume up button seems weird - who was asking for that??
Also I must not have noticed but in the app switcher/multitasking there's a little button that let's you expand an app to full screen right there - was that there before? After this update a little prompt came up too tell me about it so could have been there before and not noticed it.

Verizon Galaxy S8 software update pushing through 4/21
Verizon S8 software update from NRD90M.G950USQU1AQC8 to NRD90M.G950USQU1AQD9
Changes:
- Apps optimized for infinity display
- Answer calls without touching screen - use volume up key
- Camera App Icon has new look
- Notification badges are same color across the device
- Latest Security Updates for 7.0
I'm postponing my update until further notice

Anyone take this yet?

It disables Bixby remapping.

I took it, everything seems the same to me.

Im waiting just in case, I know from past experiences I dont want any early updates just in case of a bootloader unlock that gets patched.

Not taking any chances on updates for a long time.

Any chance this update screws over the 1% chance this phone gets root?

It does not. I use the latest update and keep getting DQA keeps closing. I have my bibxy button remapped on this update.

Lucky you. Since I've taken the update, I have no DQA problems, but I now have to use one of those special bixby remapping apps because the update has removed my ability to intercept the bixby button signal.

I think there must be some sort of app conflict on the devices getting the DQA force closing issues. I have never seen it a single time on my device.

I've updated the DQA app and haven't had any issue yet. It only popped up for me once and I just disabled it but re enabled it to get the update.

does anyone know if there is a U firmware without bloatware,same like with the s7 ans s7E... i have the verizon one and i like the U firmware for the s7 that i also have and now is just an unlocked s7 no bloatware no garbage lol thanks in advance,,,

If it is an app conflict I am pretty sure it is with a stock app. I applied the update right out of the box (before installing anything else) and was rewarded with the DQA issue. I didn't do much research on the problem as I took it back/exchanged it because it had the red/pink screen issue referenced here. It seems that the update was hastily thrown out to address the tint issue and they may have overlooked some things during testing considering the wide number reporting the DQA issue.

Yup. I had the Bixby button remapped to work as the back key.
After the update, all in one gestures doesn't work for me anymore. Now when I press the Bixby button nothing happens (which is still better than launching the useless Bixby app).
~John

Not only that, but none of the Bixby button remap apps work for me either.
I have tried 2 different apps & the button still does absolutely nothing (which is STILL better than accidentally opening the useless Bixby every time I meant to lower the volume LOL)

i need to flash this from my G950U1 firmware. I have Bixby voice, I wonder if this has more?

thank you for the update

FYI - I'm running T-mobile on the unlocked S8+. Didn't think that I would get tmo updates, but it actually worked (had to manual check for the update). Mine just finished installing the OTA.

Downloaded this last night. Was trying to use the camera and kept getting a "system UI" crash notice. Phone started overheating really bad, to the point it was hot to the touch. I immediately shut it off, and left it on the ground for awhile, in case it decided to pull a Note 7. Turned it back on after 30 min, and camera works, but the phone started heating up again. Turned it back off for awhile. Started it up again, closed all apps, and so far it's okay. If you download, please keep an eye on it.

try taking out the sd-card and try the camera again using the internal sd... then try putting the sd-card in again to see what happens..
I would hate to say, maybe u have to do a factory reset, and see if that helps.. last resort...

I took the update last night,no overheating or issues,think root for our device is a long ways away as well....so who is getting the note 8?hopefully that comes with the ability to root

Heads up. Bixby button mappers are blocked from working with this update.

The update broke the built in Digits app. Support had me download and install the Digits app from the Play Store and said that it is now required. Anyone else?
Edit: It was not the OTA that broke built in Digits support. Wiping cache and loging out and then back in to my account fixed the issue. It appears that timing of the OTA and me noticing that Digits was not working was coincidence..

That's not cool, I don't like the digit app. You will end up having 2 notifications for each text or call you get.

I edited my post above. Turns out that it was not the OTA that broke Digits.

This update has wrecked my battery life. Android System is consistently beating out screen by a factor of 2x for the amount of battery utilization , even after several reboots. Disappointing that an official OTA has made me go from singing this phone's praises to hating it within a couple of days. And no, I don't want to do a factory reset and then spend hours setting everything back up, those days were supposed to be gone the moment they prevented us from rooting and installing custom roms.

Update: The issue I had was happening in any app, whenever I'd turn the phone to landscape mode. I did some research, and found someone in the Sprint S8 forum had the issue as well, and was able to fix it by simply changing the navigation button order, then switching it right back. Haven't had any issues with overheating since Saturday, but battery has been meh since the update.

Edge lighting

Ok so dont know if anybody has noticed this.
When the device was upside down...when you would recieve a call...the edge would light up to alert you of a call. Mine was always bright green.
Since the oreo update it seems that this feature does not work.
It seems to work for all other notifications apart from calls.
Is there a work-around?

Me too facing the same issue idge lighting doesn't show (faceup)

I liked this feature...hate the way samsung gives you something then takes it away with an update.

Everybody please use Edge lighting +

Is edge lighting+ a seperate app?

Hi...give yourself a little effort and try searching on Google or XDA....... It's easy to find...

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Well this does not work either. There is no difference between edge lighting+ and what is already installed on the device.
The issue is when the device recieves a call, the messages and other notifications work fine. This used to work fine until the oreo update

Anybody found a solution?

I have searched high and low for edge lighting + and haven't found anything. The badlock launder looks awesome, but it appears if we're on nougat, it isn't possible to install?
So, can anyone tell me if there is any way to enable face up lighting/s8 lighting features on our S7 edge on nougat, even if rooted?!
Thank you for any help!

I have the edge lighting + app
It does not do anythin different than what you device doea anyway.
It lights up when you get a text.
I wanted it to light up when i got a call when devicr was face down, seems like they have removed this feature.

Ok, I downloaded the edgelighting+ app from the apk site and when I open it, it directly opens the Galaxy apps store and gives me a message saying this app is no longer available or is not supported in this country or on this device. Any fix or ideas? I'm on the Chinese variant and have tried with and without VPN connected. And, for those who have this app, does it allow face up edge lighting?
Thank you
