Hi, has anybody got Daydream already? Can you test if it works with another prohes, specially Samsung S7? I know that it ic compatible only with Pixel for now but I'm curious if it makes sense to buy it when I have S7. Work it at least partially or doesn't work at all?
Thanks.

I was wondering about z5....but so many people are compaling about that device. And I have had a z5 in my hand, and it took awfull photos (low light). I was breaking my s6's back panel, BUT I re purchased the s6 yesterday again. I have tried the 6.0 with it, and looks promising ( I love the manual camera shutter sped control).
come back. this is a cheap device already, ($300-350), and there is non better on the market what have this huge amount of features like s6 (with 6.0 )
Why would you go back to a device where your main issue is the OS? That's just wierd.
Get a Nexus if you want AOSP.
The CM13 you are referring to in your OP is a TEST build and should NOT be used as a daily driver. Bugs, things are broken / not working.
Sounds like you might wanna research some other phones / brands before jumping back to a device your not comfortable with IMO.

im asking what about new firmwares, have them fix major galaxy s6 issues like ram management?
Samsung will release the gs6' sourcecode after the marshmallow release. This will make the custom rom community much more effective. Looking forward
Edit @renolzSry: I meant kernel sourcecode

Google daydream

Hi everyone,
I am using the Gear VR with my phone but for sure it lacks some features. As I see the google daydream is much interesting and I would love to try it/have the headset when iz comes out. What worries me now is if our devices (Exynos) will be supported for the daydream.
What are your toughts on this, do you think we will be able to use it?
The Pixel/XL are the first Daydream ready phones. Going by that, I assume that means that no phones before them are compatible.

It's true but I'm also curious if it is able to work at least partially. E.g. play 3D video.

The google phones are the first which are officially daydream ready, but there are other earlier phones which are earlier produced and confirmed to be daydream ready like the ZTE Axon 7 and Asus Znefone 3 Deluxe. What about that fact?
Also I do not see anything better in the Pixel phones (hardware) (I have read somewhere that it has some additional sensors but I do not see them on GSMArena) which would limit our devices, so if it is just software it will be for sure accessable maybe via root if no official support is granted.

Does the S8/S8+ have MirrorLink?

This is important to me. I have a Mercedes Benz CLA45 AMG and am frustrated MirrorLink would never work with my HTC 10. I have read that MirrorLink is really picky on the version being ran on the phone vs what is on the vehicle but it is a PIA to even troubleshoot. Hoping the issue is with connectivity is my current device and am anxious to move to the S8+. That will be one of the first things I test. I'll report back to see if any one updates. I believe TMobile devices may land a day or so early.

I should be getting mine, in 6 days. If the delivery doesnt get ****ed up. I will test aswell. I just heard rumors, and some article mentioning that it should have MirrorLink.
But I havent seen anyone confirming this

NICE
Mostly google maps and spotify
And thanks for getting back with it
I wish my cars had it ('15 pathfinder, '15 corvette and '14 ML350) Wouldn't mind sending the image to my screen.
Had the Galaxy S8 for a few days now and to my surprise, I can confirm that it does have MirrorLink! I bought it thinking it didn't.
My car has a Sony XAV-602BT double-din headunit so I will try this out shortly and report back!
Yeah it does have, here's even screenshot of function
Bad news...
So I tried my Galaxy S8 on my Sony XAX-602BT and MirrorLink does not work
My head unit flickers for a split second as if it's about to work and then nothing. The headunit just says to connect a supported device. I've tried numerous ways of connecting it with different cables, switching the headunit of then connecting and vice versa but same result. The S8 registers as being connected via MirrorLink though.
It's not an issue with the headunit as this works with my two previous phones, my Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z albeit a buggy experience.
I've done some research and it seems to be because MirrorLink 1.1 only letting you use certain apps which have the right certificates.... Problem is, there are hardly any useful MirrorLink certified apps since it's such a niche thing to have!
On my two previous phones MirrorLink would work but it would just mirror whatever is on the screen which was useful when it actually worked... I've always found MirrorLink to be buggy at best: constant disconnects, overheating phone, audio drops, battery not charging, screen freezing etc.
My advice: If you want the S8 or the S8+ then go for it as they are amazing phones. Upgrade your headunit to one that supports Android Auto as that does work reliably and will have much more support than MirrorLink since Google are backing it.
Did anyone try the LG mirrorlink app with S8? I can't get it to work because it recognizes the samsung phone.
It was fine on S7 and it offers full screen mirroring even when driving.
Samsung Galaxy S8 + Suzuki Vitara with Mirrorlink, it does work. You need to have mirrorlink compatible apps installed.

Yes!
In galaxy app store you have Samsung car mode, check if your car is compatible.

Hi,
My matter between my Galaxy S8 and my car with Mirrolink is now ok

I don't know why. I know with Apple if you have a cable from another brand, you should have some matter. But with Samsung, I'm very surprise !
Thanks all

(DISCUSS) Note 8 ROM port to S8/S8+

Well I just wanted to see your opinions, whether is to possible or not, will it happen or not, to port Note 8 ROMs to our S8/S8+ Exynos.

Its the same touchwiz as s8 with extra features focused for the spen and dual camera which you wont need at all.... its not worth the shot....theme may apear soon which will be less hassle....
My 2c
Yes but as I heard, though it might be misinformation, Note 8 should have Samsung Experience 8.5 and maybe Android 7.1 very soon if not out of the box.
Not sure if this is true or I red it on some random portal.
It will be ported wether you like it or not.. it's always been the case. So move on.

Can The Note 8 Do call and message continuity?

I've tried everything. To my knowledge that seems to be available to get this INSTALLED on Note 8 via these mirror links for the actual app.
Firsr things first. No I AM NOT on [Verizon].
I use T-Mobile and I purchased the phone from T-Mobile.
My Note 8 is on Android 9 though. Now that can make a difference for sure I know.
I know its old and the newer phones all support the feature built in. So, I am asking.
Has any person gotten it installed onto a not work and managed to get it to work through something new like Galaxy S7 - S5.
I have the Galaxy S7+, thia feature would be essential for me when I'm using the tablet.
Also, my S7+ is Wifi only, no Cell 4G/5G.
I've seen a post where a guy said he "Installed"
Call & Message Continuity
Does this even work on Android 9?
Help?
Really. No one has any kind of answer?
