T-Mo Update AQD9 from AQC9 ??? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I postponed it. It's 392.14mb... I worry only because on my Note7 I updated right out of the box and was unable to root. Anyone know anything about this AQD9 update?

All I know is it supposedly kills the ability to remap the bixby button.

well I just updated but don't have Bixby remap so not sure if it brakes it or not

I didn't have it remapped before the update but all in one gestures doesn't even show the Bixby button.

You have to add a custom keymap in the menu press the button and it fetches the hardware ID to map.
I'm on T-Mobile. I did the update and my remap no longer works.

I attempted adding the custom key and it didn't work.

Oh dang. I will skip the update then. Anyway to disable the annoying notification?
/edit: nvm, killed it with PDP.

I haven't even been prompted with the update.
Which packages did you disable?

[Q] Moto G LTE reboots 8pm nightly

My Moto G LTE reboots most nights at 8:00 sharp all by itself. Does anyone know what app might cause that? I'm trying to live with it as a feature, but it is annoying, especially if I am using the phone.
The phone is unrooted. I had hoped that the recent OTA update would fix this problem but it did not.

Can you please post some screenshots of your app drawer? Maybe I can tell you which app does this.
You can also try to:
1) clear cache from recovery
2) disable the geo location before the usual time of reboot
I appreciate the reply. How do I do screenshots uprooted? I agree that knowing the apps would help.
Is the Locale app compatible? I use it with the Google Voice plugin because I'd paid for I t with my Galaxy Nexus. I may try uninstalling it for now to see if that fixes it.

I'm trying to correct the typo and say "un-rooted" instead of uprooted and I just keep replying to myself. Sheesh.

Vol down button + power button to screenshot:good: press them for about 2 sec or it doesn't work.
I decided to return to factory state and start over. No reboots for the last two nights. I'll add apps back slowly.

How do I take a Screenshot?

I feel stupid asking this but the power and volume down combination is not working for me no matter how many times I try. Is there another simple method to take screenshots?

I took my case off and tried and it worked. The fault of the way the buttons are aligned I guess. Anyhow, I don't see the 3 finger option in the settings (moves). Is this unique to the Verizon version maybe?

Must have been part of one of the ROMs I was using sorry
You can long press on the home button and once the assistant shows up, slide to the bottom of the page. There's an option for screenshot

Exactly. Or just disable all Bixby processes with Package Disabler.
The Update is a 600mb package with a lot Bugfixes and optimizing.
Can confirm still working on Verizon with all updates. Mine is currently remapped to 1-click camera.

Well I did "it" and software update 10min ago broke it lol. Button does nothing since I disabled Bigs but it won't map to anything now. Bummer. Oh well.

Yeah just need to reenable bixby via package disabler and restart . Button only responds to Bixby. Or disable and have a shiny useless button.
I have the T-Mobile variant so update may be different. Not really sure.

On Verizon with latest update and used All In One Gestures application to re-map the key. You can change it to any app you want.
Dont Work.

Can confirm TMobile does not work after update
Confirm that AT&T still works. No updates are breaking it yet.
Works but no update on AT&T. Only tells me one or two updates and it will stop. Currently 1 press is google now (wish I could remap to asst) and press hold is flashlight.
Woke up this morning and my remap is gone. No new update or anything. It'll work if I have the gesture app open but right when I close it, it goes back to bixby. Oh well guess ill just have a shiny useless button

Bad Bixyby button

My Bixby button does not work. I press it and I get nothing. It's not a big deal because Bixby kinda sucks right now, but is there a possibility that I disabled it somehow? Anyone else having similar issues?
They messed it up with last update, hopefully it fixed soon so I can remap it

No menu key on S8 Plus

I have been habitual of it but seems like Samsung has completely removed it or am I not able to find it.
Long press on back button doesn't works.

They got rid of the dedicated menu key years ago. I want to say with the s6. Possibly even the s5. Recents/multi window just made more sense

No idea about after the 5, but long press recents on the S5 brought up the menu.

The keycode for the menu button is still active though and if you're rooted you can use it with the following code:
input keyevent 82
Then just use a pie/gesture/ISAS to launch...or remap another button, etc...
?

You all just solved my issue on the S6...
I used to have a ( : ) on apps that would simulate the menu button. Then I upgraded the custom rom to 6.x.. lost that and couldnt figure out the "Menu Button"
So to answer, just tested. Its Long Press the "Back" button will trigger the menu button.
@Mysticales ? @RuggedHunter I'm not rooted.
