I've decided to take the plunge and finally change my HTC 10. This I've had since launch day direct from HTC, before that I had the M8. I've rooted both and was constantly running Viper Roms with no real issues whatsoever.
How does the S8+ compare and what tips, trick and general advice would you give a new owner to follow 1st? Are there any things that I need to do to the phone as soon as it comes out the box. I love to fiddle with my phones but I don't think I'll be rooting this one as I want to be using Samsung Pay.
Any advice and tips will be gratefully received.
Thanks
Hello, never Root an Android phone but a good app for your S8+ ( check out the screenshot).

If you don't like Bixby download a package disabler and turn anything related to it off. I hate that button and am glad that it no longer works. Also do yourself a favor and get AdHell. Great adblocking program that actually has a package disabler within it.

Thanks for that info about package disabler. I have read a good few threads on the s8+ in general and this app rings a bell. Are there any tutorials on it and exactly what is safe and what is not to disable?
Cheers

Thanks, I'll get that app as soon as my phone arrives in the next few days.
Any advice on the best way to use it and what not to disable?

My advice is for buying it, so you got the full features. Simple to use.

I'm actually going to the S8+ NOT the S8.
I've had the HTC 10 since release date and just want a change, there's been over a years difference in tech etc, it's just personal choice.

Hahaha wow, this is interesting.. There must be something in the app that detects either the superuser app, or the bin file..
Either way, thats weird to see that google would implement something like that. I thought that with the nexus series they were all for rooting, although i'm sure this will happen on every rooted device.
Hopefully Google doesn't become apple

we have known about this since day one, its nothing new. its to protect the companies that are putting out the movies from piracy. you can still rent them and watch them via your browser on the full youtube website, just not in the app. there are hacks/edits that temporarily hide the fact that you have root so that you can watch these movies with the app.
Ohhhh I see haha. Its alright i never rent movies anyways
Sent from my Nexus S
Crazy. How would having root access, contribute to piracy?
Google made this message so, they must be against it. Must be why we must use Superuser from a developer not associated with Google themselves

with root access you can steal the movie(copy/cut). its very easy, any troll can do it, even the big ugly scary bridge guarding trolls
Same here but
Maybe ota rootkeeper from supercurio allow to root and unroot at will could help renting movies unrooted and root it again after

It's the icon just below your battery icon and clock. Looks like a rectangle with a check mark. At the right side of the search icon.

Should be in the top 3 of any "must have apps" list out there (imo). Constantly updated & supported and has saved my ar*e more times than I care to remember.. if your still feeling cheap and know where to look the pro version's plastered all over the place for free but to be honest this is one of those apps where the developer deserves the support (again imo).

Short answer yes, totally worth it.
Because the pro version will let you go back to your homescreen (do not hit the back button!!) and tb can run in the background doing a restore or backup. That alone is a great feature. Another is scheduled backups, not sure if that's a pro feature or not though lol...
totally worth, you should buy it.
5 minutes? apparently i'm more stupid than you. spent few days and gave up and have to search the forum.

Well, in all honesty, I actually think the S4 is cleaner, crisper and more sharp. It is very very good.

My girlfriend has the same phone but the white version. And here led on the phone isn't giving any light! So I think it isn't the default state of the phone!

Tbh, I really don't think it's affecting battery life much, if any. I'm reconsidering getting a replacement after using it for a while and seeing what the battery life is like, but that may change.

Yep, there is no other way than replacing it.

Yeah it stinks.. hopefully it's no t hardware
I also have that ....
Heard from others that it's a hardware problem and the only fix is exchange. Other carriers seem to send a new device. How is the verizon?
It seems that we are getting refurbished one after 14days of purchase according to
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/device-replacement-program/#defect
Anyone tried to talk or chat with Verizon Customer service?
