Is anyone going to get the s8 active?? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

So the s8 active goes on sale this coming Friday. Anyone going with this. I know it's not as aesthetically pleasing but 4000mah battery and 600mhz band 71 support has me seriously thinking.

Just got it yesterday, it's awesome. Needs root but so far so good.

I agree. Just got mine as well. Sapped on a glass screen protector just to prevent scratches and installed substratium dark theme to black out all my apps. Happy

Just got mine last night from S7 Active. Everything is awesome but the position of FPS is hard to locate!

I'm super happy with mine aswell! Hopefully the install base can eclipse the regular s8 on T-Mobile and we get some great roms cause the signal where I work is amazing now.

also received mine few days ago and my friend got it sim-unlocked. What a great device!!!!

I purchased one for my wife who abuses phones (she previously broke 2 phones in a matter of 3 weeks) and so far so good. I would like to root it. I found this link in a different forum but I am not sure how reliable it is...
https://mobilestrongreset.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s8-active-how-fast-root-quick-root-root-android/
Has anyone rooted their phone?

I wonder how many people will get this phone and hopefully we will have some love from developers! ?

My cousin got it and I was able to check it out in person. I wouldn't mind switching my S8 for an Active. Seeing it and using it made me start thinking about it. Hope to hear about everyone's experiences with the phone!

I have one and love it
Got it first week of December. GREAT phone. Battery life is incredible (coming from S6 Edge) and screen is amazing. No root, and I always root my phones, but I haven't had many issues or circumstances where I miss root.

Finally got mine!

This is hands down the phone I've been waiting for! Perfect screen size with a great processor and stock android. This phone is fantastic. I've had soooo many phones in the past year it's insane. Galaxy note 2 and 3 galaxy s4 htc one Sony xperia z ultra HTC one again galaxy note 3 again and none have made me happy. Alot has to do with ask the bloat that those phones have. I don't know how to root devices and play with the software. All I've wanted was a nice die phone that's snappy and smooth with a nice size screen and stock android. I now have it and couldn't be happier. I'm a little scared as to how the battery life will be as I'm a heavy internet user but time will tell. Gonna order a wireless charger and case now.

If you're looking for a budget wireless charger that gets the job done and is a trusted name then purchase the Nokia DT-900 (it's about $25 from at&t) and if you're looking for one that tilts then get the DT-910.
I have the DT-910 and it's wonderful. Stay away from off brand chargers because it can damage you're phone or even cause a fire!
Welcome to this wonderful community and enjoy your Nexus 5!

Sorry for not recognizing the sheer magitude of your wisdom, the N5 though will be flagged when unlocking/rooting which the N4 didn`t have, you can reset it though but i`am sure you allready know that

Congrats! And Enjoy!

To OP: Congrats on getting a great phone. I really would suggest unlocking and rooting to get the most out of the phone tho. Xposed + GravityBox really make the phone even better. With those you don't even need to go the custom ROM route.
To the people being DICKS in this thread: Really? Get a life.
Coming from a s3 and now got the nexus 5 I can't be happier no more lag or waiting a minate for my contacts to open and now its instant
Coming from S3 att with AOKP. I love everything except lose buttons and smaller grill mic and speaker. reading reading reading now before unlock/install/root.
I am not familiar with Xposed. should I go with roms or Xposed. I want my phone to be fast and just work.

I actually wanted to thank you for this though. I didn't know about the flagging issue until you mentioned about it. :highfive:
No worries, no harm done! Its always a good time for beer(or whiskey) !
Welcome to the club! I've owned a ton of handsets in the past few years and this is the only one I haven't rooted in the first week because it just works so beautifully as is. Haven't had one issue (other then loose power button, can't win em all). I get the itch to root and fiddle now and then but then I can't bring myself to do it as its just perfect for me as is. I'm sure eventually the modder in me will win out and I'll tinker with it to all hell and back, but for now, just enjoying the ride.

I'd definitely play around with Xposed before flashing a ROM. At least for me it has completely eliminated the need to flash any custom ROMs. I am stock rooted + Xposed on all 3 of my Android devices and I wouldn't have it any other way. GravityBox is the first module you should try, as it has a TON of features. You get the benefits of staying stock (stability, bug free) but get to add whatever features you want to your stock ROM. I can't stress how awesome Xposed is, and it really was a game changer for me.

Still worth buying?

Hey guys, do you think buying a used note 3 is still a good by at $350?
How much do you think it will sell for in November after Note 4 hits the scene?
I think it's a decent deal. Not the best deal but not the worst deal.

Thanks. I just the pulled the trigger on a "mint" condition note 3 on swappa for $339 to hold me over until I get a Note 4 in November. Tired of my Nexus 5 poor battery life.
Enjoy. Battery on the note is a beast. ?

I got my note 3 back in January and I'm still very happy with it. This is the best battery life I've ever experienced on any device I've ever owned, But I also want to see what the future holds for the note line. If it's extremely nice I will get it. If not I will just keep my note 3 till I finally get tired of it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I finally got the device. The seller claims that they too purchased it back in January. There isn't a mark on the device. It is definitely in mint condition.
It's on, rooted, debloated and disabled carrier iq, and customized! Easier than I expected to use one handed (but I have large hands) and fits in my pocket better than anticipated as well. Not as smooth as my Nexus 5 or even 4 (even turning most features off and using Nova), but worth the extra screen and battery size.
Definitely going for a Note 4 in a few months, but looking forward to using this bad boy for the time being! I'm not in any rush with this device in hand. The 3 is a great device. My only regret is not having moved to the Note line of phones earlier.

That's weird. I have a similar setup on my Note and it is the butteriest phone I've ever owned. I need to update my sig but I'm running stock rooted kitkat, I used Titanium Backup to debloat the crap out of it, and I got rid of Carrier IQ. There isn't a hint of lag.

I did the same thing, but just to my eye, it's not as smooth as a nexus 5. It's not a huge difference (it's barely a difference at all), and certainly not one that I would go back to a nexus for. It's just something I noticed with both devices in my hand at the same time.
If you enjoy rooting and flashing, I hope it's not the AT&T Note 3.

I rooted this note 3, but I've never flashed it because I was spending way too much time messing with roms on previous nexus.
What's the issue with att? I haven't looked into it. Difficult bootloader?

They think they are protecting their phones when in reality it only drives customers away because most people that root their phones actually know what they are doing and it rarely causes problems. Let's see what happens to them with such an attitude towards customers

I assume most Att customer that wants a Note 4 will just buy a unlocked Tmo version.
I've never had/seen a better phone.
I have a GN4 on TMO. Have been experiencing download lags on the 4G network. Not sure if it's the phone or the network. Anyone else having similar issues ?
I bought 2 for myself. My gf has one, too.
My sister has one, as well.
I love mine. My main gripes are the 2.5D glass and how the design on the front covers up the capacitive buttons/LED notification light.
At this point, I think you're late to the game (expecting response, lol). Might as well pick up the Galaxy S6 in the meantime until the Note 5 produces tears in our eyes.
I wouldn't say, "late to the game." Seems like things are just getting good. We just got official cm nightlies, and have a ton of roms.

i considered waiting for S6 or even M9, but both will not be offering replaceable battery. They wont cost that much less than a note 4 either.

That's a smart speculation based on the recent pictures leaked.

Hands down the best phone I've ever owned! Runs flawless stock.

I've made my decision....

I have both the G4 and the S6, as you may or may not know the S6 is unlockable and has had root for a while now. Despite that, I have decided to keep my G4, the potential locked in this phone is way too much to give up on. Odd thing is, the G4
doesnt seem to have had its radios tweaked or optimized, the S6 is a touch faster both on WiFi and LTE. The downside is
the bloat ball called touchwiz. It's choppy and eats a TON of ram. UX 4.0 is far and away better. As far as the cameras go, the
camera on the G4 is faster at getting locked in on what i'm shooting, but when zoomed in, the picture almost looks like an
oil painting. Once we do eventually get the G4 unlocked, I hope we get a camera mod much like the one I had for the G3.
I'm also looking forward to viper4android, that's definitely a must have for Google music imo. Anyway, hopefully we'll get
our beasts unlocked soon.
I agree totally. I had the s6 for a while. It has some awesome features and the camera is great, but it always was buggy and the ram issue was horrible. The G4 may not be perfect but I am enjoying it a lot more than my s6.

I concur with both of you. I had the S6 Edge and sold it for the G4. I'm just surprised we not only don't have root yet, but that there hasn't really been any direct talk of if anyone is close. That is a big concern to me. From my experience, there are usually folks chatting about their progress (or lack thereof). Anyway, love the device so far....

i agree too on going with the G4, i sold my nexus 5 and got the G4 before i even checked in here to see if it was rootable/unlockable yet
and the reason no one is talking about it is that so many people come in here complaining about no root or not being able to unlock their phone yet, but it is being worked on and in fact the devs doing it have unlocked carrier phones (from what i have seen), they are just working on a way to make it easy for the general public to do it and to make sure there is a way back or at least a way to not brick your phone. plus LG is on here too so there isnt much chatter here so that LG doesnt patch what they are working on before they can even get it out to us
it will come i am sure of it
Me too, i find this to be this first device i could use without root, i would still rather have it than not, but i could own this phone long term without it. Glad to see a positive note and people having the same experience i am with the phone. I also was a former S6 owner, my wife has it now so i can really check them out side by side and its no contest, and thats with my wife on a custom rom.
I was thinking how far phones have come since I got my first Android phone back in 2012 (Mytouch 4G Slide) Some great ROMS on that old thing. I moved on up to a Nexus 4 from that. The so called professional review sites claim that the differences between the S6 and G4 cameras are so small that it's hard to pick a clear cut winner, but I tell you, the only flaw in the G4's camera is the over sharpening. The S6's camera software kinda sucks, the viewfinder looks grainy and the pictures aren't any better. The ram issue sealed it for me, the darn thing has 3gb of ram available, how does T/W use that much?
Wow, so sad to see no progress on root and twrp. I bought this device thinking I was getting the "full" flagship experience.

Hi all, jumped the Sammy ship after some 3.5 years using Galaxy devices (latest was a S4). It's actually the first time I get a flagship almost when it's been released, and so far this phone seems like a great device. I'm not looking for custom ROMs yet, root would be nice, but as it stands it's an awesome Android flagship.

Same here. My One Plus is smoother and faster . Rooted Zmax is faster . Love the form factor of the G4 ,but text and mms issues are starting to annoy me to no end....
Because the N5 use stock android, the biggest advantage of the G4 is much longer battery life. For me it's matter because the battery on Nexus is non-swapable and battery life is not good.

Left the note 4 because of the crap camera taking forever to focus and the gps that never could find a signal. At first i thought i made a mistake because of the lag i was getting before updating to the new N update and i am not looking back. The g4, at its 479 price point is a monster

Canadian OnePlus 3 discussion thread

Hey guys just thought I'd start a thread for us Canadians to share information and also our experiences with the OnePlus 3. I just got mine this Monday and so far I'm very happy with it. What about you?
Got mine two weeks ago and loving it. Just like when I got my OPO years ago, I had to adjust my APN settings for my 4g to work properly.

Have you had a oneplus device before?

I had the one plus one which I had traded for an LG G3 and back then I felt like I was the one who came out on top. I 0assed on the op2 and opx due to the lack of NFC. It was a deal breaker for me. This one plus 3 rooted with xposed is sweet. I really don't miss my s7 edge, yet...
Seeing as you're with Rogers you don't miss VoLTE? I'm trying to find a way to get it to work.
Just got my OP3 today and absolutely loving it so far.
My signal was dropping constantly from 3g to h+. Switched the APN to Rogers LTE and it's so much better. Make sure you change these settings.
I'm on Bell in New Brunswick and didn't need to change the APN or anything.

I had the one plus one which I had traded for an LG G3 and back then I felt like I was the one who came out on top. I 0assed on the op2 and opx due to the lack of NFC. It was a deal breaker for me. This one plus 3 rooted with xposed is sweet. I really don't miss my s7 edge, yet...
Seeing as you're with Rogers you don't miss VoLTE? I'm trying to find a way to get it to work.

I literally had to Google that because I was not aware of what that was lol. So I guess I won't miss it lol!
Running Android since 1.5..... Boosted OP3
There probably won't be any way to get VoLTE working unless Rogers decides to sell this device and add it to the list of VoLTE capable handsets. I went through all the hoops with my Nexus 5x trying to get it to work. Even the 6p (which they sell) isn't added to the list of capable handsets and therefore does not get VoLTE.

Yeah... man I tried EVERYTHING, everything with my 5x and 6p. There's more in the op3 build.prop tho, so maybe there's a chance. Maybe. Rogers needs to pull their heads out of their a** and just open up network, let the phone decide if it's able to support VoLTE.

Can't have that. They want everyone buying handsets from them on contract. Not unlocked.
P.S. Really happy with my 1+3 so far...

I bought the s6 edge, note 5, s7 edge and I'm going to buy the note 7 when it comes out. That's 3 contracts I'll have payed off in 2 years. The least the can do is open up their network to my other devices.
Hey guys anyone having issues with some widgets not populating after reboot? For me it's news and weather and the android authority widgets. I have to remove and re add both or either after each reboot.

Just got mine a couple days ago. It's so fast! Pretty light, and much easier to hold than my Note 2 which has served for more than 3 years and died 2 days before OP3 arrived. Finger print log is instant but sometimes it shows errors like: not recognized or finger move too fast. Another issue palm rejection is not working very well. Also enabling adaptive brightness sometimes make the phone very dark. Hopefully, these issues can resolved quickly.
Fido. Came from OPO. Anyone notice that mobile signal strength notification in the status bar icon is less than the OPO on LTE? I still get about -110dBm so not sure about the difference in the status bar icon.
Loving my 1+3 , been on it for a week now, can't imagine going back to my old phone. Anyone having weak signals on the Telus network?
Has anyone received the new update 3.2.1 without doing the VPN trick??
Juat checked now and still haven't received it.
