S8 active G892A AT&T more language install? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello guys,long story short.I had S6 active AT&T for long time,since its only for USA,there was no Lithuanian language,i was ok with that,but sometimes i missed my language because of some notifications with specific english words,that i dont know and etc.Now i bought S8 active and wonder if its possible to add more languages,especialy Lithuanian by custom rom or something like that,i am not so good in it,just know how to root,to use some more options and customize my phone.Is there some way to do it?thanks in advance

Don't know if you saw it but in language and input there is a option for all languages i don't know if you're is in it.

I am not stupid man,i see what is available,only like 12 languages,just interesting are they hidden or removed totaly by AT&T

Well **** I'm just trying to help no need to be an ass...
When i click the 3 Dot menu and all languages i got like 30 so i guess I'm cool. Good luck

Well,after more searching,i found MoreLocale2 app,its ment for Samsung Galaxy models,so tried on my rooted S5 active and it worked,so could try same on S8 active,but cant find root for my G892A AT&T model,anybody have some link to root topic exactly for my phone?cause i tried google for it,but lots of topics and download links are dead

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/root-partcyborgrom-galaxy-s8-active-t3747788
A lot of people had issues with these models. Either start around post 450 or 550 some one then posts a better working method that seems to work for more people

as more i read,as more i see it very messy

MoreLocale2 works as charm,just made Add my language,at my case Lithuanian,just typed Lt,and it understood what i mean,cause Lt is my country international shortcut,the only thing is that if you shut down phone,it comes back to English,but its not a problem,my language is in app,so just one push and its back,also i dont switch phone at all,only if battery dies.I made it without Root,followed this link https://en.miui.com/thread-4229083-1-1.html and gave permision for App to add language.
Also,some feedback about language-it didnt make my language 100%,lets say 95%,some folders in settings and developer options are still in English,but its not a problem,cause all other stuff that are used daily are ok,most important that all notifications come in my Language,thats only what i needed.I also used similar Permision thing,to add Mobile Data widget into top menu,cause it was annoying to go everytime to settings to turn it on.I hope it will be useful for someone else.
But one thing is annoying with this AT&T phone,that everytime i switch of Mobile Data,it shows notification on top screen,that its turned of,i cant clear it,no choise is working when i set Do not show notification,the only thing what i can do,is to set for delay of notification max for 2 hours,anybody has some thing to advice about it?

Vibrate Icon Won't Dissappear

So this is the second time it happened it is really strange i just dropped my phone , it wasnt a hard drop nothing happened to the phone and the vibrate icon will always be on the TOP even if the volume is on full. The only way to get rid of the icon is go to sound and disable vibrations when calling basically set it to " NEVER"

This is something that was implemented in the 2.3.5 firmwares, there are many ways to remove, the method you choose would depend on exactly which firmware you are using.
Either way, you should be able to find a fix over in the themes section
Can you point me in the right direction? I am not sure for which fix to look for. Thanks once again much apperciated.

What firmware are you running: Menu>About Phone>Build Number and while you are at it, what's your phone model, I see U.S.A AT&T under your name

[Q] Strange issue - receiving phone calls

I have never seen this before, and I am hoping someone knows what to do.
After installing Hyperdrive 17.1 when i receive a phone call it will display +1(and the number) even if I have the person as a contact, then if i want to call back i have to remove the + sign before trying otherwise it simply won't do anything. I am not saying this is an issue with the rom (and I really doubt it) maybe something i am missing.. Any idea?
After doing some more research this seems to be related to the Global ready settings, but I can't find how to disable this.

I get a 1 before it too but no +1 and the call back function works fine ... Im on RLS17.1 also ... My phone is unlocked and I am using tmobile but I was using att just a few days ago and it wasn't a problem .. must be something you need to change in your network setting (Possibly)

That sucks ... I would put a post in the Hd thread with this issue .. sbreen is good about answering and fixing .. Im a safestrap user and there is really no other rom that I want to use ... Although they are all good HD has more functions without the need to install xposed framework .. Also the 4way multiwindow is the sh!t... Hats off to all the developers
Several of us with hyperdrive are seeing this. See recent posts in the hyperdrive att rom thread. I started a general q&a thread about it in hopes of finding solution, figuring it is a setting not just specific to that ROM. I hope a solution is found because I like that ROM.

Notification when I press Power Button

Hello ...
I have the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) with Android 6.0.1 from Saturday (NOT rooted ... yet). After a lot of hours searching and setup I have this "problem":
When I press the PowerButton for 2-3 seconds to show the options: Reboot/ShutDown/SafeMode it sounds the Messages notification !! How can I disable this?
Thanks in advance.
I still cannot disable it (without reset the phone)
I wonder if this notification is by default ....???
Thanks

Dunno if you can remove it without root, but you can do it with root. You find system sounds at /system/media/audio/ui. There you should find the sound file regarding power menu, then delete it and reboot and that's it.
@zavag
I try to turn it on to reproduce your problem but In my case, I can not even find out how I can turn it on.
Can you tell me...
How you activated it?
On which build are you?
@Henkate
I think it would be rather embarrassing for Samsung if you can not even personalize a notification tone without major changes to the system.
By the way, even if I do not actually think of TouchWiz. For me it's just ugly and overbloat!
I really don't know how it activated. The phone is new and ... you know ... I was searching a lot of settings in order to setup as I like. I googled it ... I found some infos but it didn't work.
On the other hand I don't want to reset (and most I don't want to root it from now) because I spent a lot of hours to set it up.

Know what you mean! I think if there is really no other way you are at minimum able to backup your settings in almost any app.
Maybe you like to inform about adb based backup solutions like declared here:
https://www.droidwiki.de/wiki/Backup/Ohne_Root
I also found a tool called Ultimate Backup on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844032
If you don't have access to a Linux or at least Windoof computer you can maybe search for how to use adb through androids buit in Linux command shell. Don't know if there is a workaround.
But in my opinion it is already poor from Samsung if one must operate such an effort in order to turn off a notification!

It's related to some accesibility services. Try to disable them in settings!

Problem with notification OnePlus 5 (Oreo beta 2)

Hello,
I have search, but I don't found a thread about my problem.
I have a problem with two notifications on my OnePlus 5.
The first one it's about an update, but I want to stay on beta 2 (for face unlock).
The second one, I don't know what is it exactly but I don't found how I can remove it, I have this from this evening. I have set my phone in English but the notifications still in french, sorry for that. It's about "Parallel Android system, fonctionnality can be limited, touch for unlock professional profils" ; when I go on it, my passcode is asked but nothing after.
I can mute the two notifications for a limited time, but I want to remove it, definitely.

Sorry for my English, I hope you can understand.
Thanks in advance ?

Please help - Alternative Phone App needed - do you know one?

Hi, My friend has the Note 7 Global Lavender version, like me, he is 82 years old and is having some trouble with answering calls because of the not-so-easy to use green phone slider. Even I sometimes have problem with this one.
So can someone help me with an alternative and a small guide on how to install it(if not like other Apps) and set it as default, so when call comes in that is the one he see? There is no need to change anything else.
Please don't refer me to google, the problem is not that there aren't any Apps but that there are too many of them, and I can't try them all until i find one without a slider but where you just push the green button to answer call - He is starting to regret he bought this phone, as it is not so friendly for old people.
I hope someone here can help.

Thank you, and yes it looks like what I wanted though it is a very sophisticated app with a lot more functions than I wanted, maybe too much - it is still for an elderly man. Also looks like there have been some complaints that you get more spam calls after you use Truecaller and that they upload your data to their servers for everyone to see - not for me!
I like to hear other options if there are some Preferebly close to the stock dialer, but without slide and only push or an option to set it yourself. And not one that takes advantage of people.
Thank you

You could try google dialer apk from apkmirror.com, it has a simple slide gesture to answer and end calls and isn't too bloated with useless features

Thank you for your answer, I will look at it but would prefer to avoid slide since that is the problem. The Note 7 has slide, but its not easy to use not even for me and I have had many phones with "slide dialer".
Finding "push button" dialer has proven to be some of a challenge, also when you take in mind it should be one not stealing your data
Hope someone can come up with a solution for this
Guess not, but i found this one and it might do the trick, testing next week when my friend available: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luckyme.dadapp2
Update: forget the app above - it works just after install but doesn't do anything when pushing the Answer button. After that it never pop up anymore . Uninstalled it!
If you can root the device and install google dialer framework , you can set the google phone app which has better slider : you just need to slide up, holding the phone icon isn't necessary. And custom roms can also be easier for him as compared to miui.
anyways, i wonder if you could find a feature in miui that makes the incoming calls screen always in 'heads up' mode. That way he just needs to touch the accept or reject. I m not sure if miui provides that

I'm sorry and tank you for your input, but I'm not rooting his phone to solve this - too many things can go wrong because you have to unlock bootloader and then install TWRP first before you can root - or so the guide here on XDA states.
I hope for a different solution
