Anyone else got this July update? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Got alerted via my phone that an update was available, so downloaded and installed it.
750mb in size

Yep got it last week, didn't notice any difference.

I was only offered this update OTA this morning.
But one thing I noticed right away - the Trusted Places unlock is now working as it should. Previously it was very hit and miss.
Thumbs up :highfive:

I noticed the "F*** You" emoji is now gone after the latest update?

There's even newer update available already...

Odd, mine also says it has the latest version installed, but it's a different version than yours.
It may be because I disabled it the other day, and reenabled it to reconnect because it stopped staying connected to my GS3 Classic. That may have prompted some sort of update from Samsung but don't know.
I am beginning to believe this is another case of Tizen tweeting Fake News!!!

So I saw this article from TizenExperts that included the links for the APKs.
http://www.tizenexperts.com/2017/01...ation-gear-smartwatches-updated-2-2-16121661/
But it looks like its only for Samsung phones. I have a non-Samsung phone and I didn't want try it because it may cause something stupid that I will have to reset my phone again.
EDIT: I just did it anyway and I was only able to update my Gear Plugin and this is the screenshot before I installed it. I didn't notice any difference.
Any expectation dates for a new release of Gear Manager for IOS?
tried to installed provided apk from tizen on a non-samsung phone (Nexus 6P) and it just does nothing the version numbers didn't even changed x)

I installed it on my Moto G4 but I see no difference, the old app worked fine and so does that new one.
Also installed the APK nothing at all noticeable

I'm hoping for one too. I got the Gear S3 because I don't like how small the Watch 2 fits on my wrist. It's just too dainty and I love chunky watches. So far, I'm really loving it.
Anyone figure out what changed in the newer version? I couldn't see any difference...

To be honest, both options (blinking or solid) without any option for customization are plain stupid. On my previous phones I always had multicolor LED and different speeds of blinking for each type of notification. With single color and unconfigurable speed..I don't really care if LED blinks or just stays on, it isn't very useful anyway.
big issue here. After having updated to July patch from second may one, I'm not able to hear sound from the speaker. It starts for a couple of seconds than nothing is hearable anymore. Normal behaviour on Bluetooth. Tested on WhatsApp and on the music player. Does Anyone have the same issue? (phone already restarted)

I downloaded it and flashed it myself, and I like it so far also! And oh man, I had the Epic 4G on Sprint too... Those were some pretty wild days lol.
Ok, I have it now too. Had to manually check for an update. However, I am not liking it for one HUGE reason. All sound, notifications, calls etc are so quiet I can not hear them anymore from across the room. I basically have to have my phone in my hand to hear it and even then, if I am watching TV or anything, it is drowned out. Currently searching for solutions.

I actually didn't wipe before using Odin, but I used the regular CSC so the phone did wipe after the flash. One way or the other I wanted to wipe for a fresh start but I didn't realize that maybe I should wipe before flashing.

I recall this being a complaint awhile back with Oreo. I might hold off on the update until all these little annoyances are resolved.
I'm gonna give this a shot since I'm on Pie Beta already and T-Mobile hasn't roll it out to me yet.....WOW, 4.2GB

I was wondering if we could pinpoint exactly the advantages of the T-Mobile carrier Pie firmware for a T-Mobile user, as opposed to the U1 firmware? I know video calling, but I think I read somebody say something about RCS 1.0 and band 28 support? I guess I am trying to weigh those things against that wonderful built-in caller ID on U1 ?

Oh cool thanks. I don't use video calling and I'm not sure RCS even comes into play much yet?
I got my OTA update Saturday February 16th and so far it's great; dark mode, auto restart, gestures, and UI improvements are just a few things to mention. The only two things that are a annoying is the removal of recent apps being sorted as a list I personally don't understand why they took this out and really hope they add it back. Second is the icons, Is it just me or the icons seem bigger? I've tried resizing through display settings and changing the dpi in developer settings, but nothing. Other than that Samsung did a fantastic job on this update

This is a fresh firmware you have to flash using the modded Odin. There's no need to update to any other versions so as long as you're on a snap variant - you're good to go!

I only have version .109 and no updates show up (Germany).
Edit: I just connected my P30 to my PC after I installed Hi Suite and the update to version .124 showed up in Hi Suite. I am now downloading it.
The 124 is available OTA on my side since this morning.

I purchased this phone today on contract with three in the UK. Had a software update to 124 when I set it up
---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------
Although it seems I have the update I'm not getting 3rd party notifications on always on display and don't see any settings to enable it.
Any ideas?
I'm also on .124
Luxembourg
I'm Vodafone Ireland and I have .109 ?
Current version: ELE-L09 9.1.0.109(C431E4R3P2)
Yes
I am also on 124 . Bulgaria .
So does AOD on .124 on the regular have 3rd party notifications? Cannot see why it would be any different to the pro in this regards

It does but I have found that they don't always show up and sometimes seem to disappear from the AOD even if they have not been read.
It still needs some work I think. Need to be able to customise it more
People who have the .124, could you please try to do a stress test with Antutu and tell if the phone correctly complete it at 100% or if it crash and reboot before?
Thanks

Certainly, if the backup with Xperia companion would work maybe. many people have problems with the fingerprint so it's software problem in my opinion.
Nah Xperia 1 has a very bad FP sensor, I checked with my old XZ Premium which works very well.
use the little finger does not fail

I got mine working relatively well, when I registered fingerprint the second time (after deleting it) I used to fingers during one registration (index and thumb). I just wanted to see what would happen, now it takes both fingers say... 2/3 times.
