US Unlocked S8+ on T Mobile
all the advanced messages features are gone! Can't send high quality MMS, theres no "typing" indicator. Nothing.
the "chat settings" menu option is also gone from the messaging app completely.
we also have an S8, same problem.
When/why did this happen? Is there a solution?
:good:

I noticed a lot of the apps have taken a hit, most recently I noticed the music app by samsung doesnt have the letters on the side scrolling area so you can leap to the first letter of the artist or track. The shuffle button is also missing.

I found a spelling error in Samsungs XML file from the August update that I think caused all this. I'm going to ask for a second opinion in the dev section.
Pretty sure the unlocked firmware doesn't have advanced messaging

Do have more info?
I'm also experiencing this issue on my s8. There is no chat settings option in the messages app settings. Is there any other way to change the image quality of picture messages i send? At the moment the quality is so poor you can't even see the picture properly.

[Q] Dialer App. How to disable "frequently dialed" contacts in Speed Dial section?
Hey guys, I love my Nexus 5. It's blazing fast and does everything I need but I have one small problem with it.
In the latest update (4.4.4) Google updated the Dialer App. The UI is amazing but there's a thing about the app that annoys me a lot.
I have set 5 of my closest friends which I call a lot on Speed Dial/Favourites.
However, every time I call anyone else in my contacts they automatically get added to the same Speed Dial menu
and I have to manually clear those by clicking "clear frequents" or removing them one by one.
Is there a way to disable this annoying feature? Thanks.

This is still a problem on Lollipop. It also automatically adds incoming calls to the speed dial. Has anyone figured out how to disable this?
This is not a problem, this is feature. Favourites will allways stay at the top of the list.
No.....

This isn't about his favourites staying at the top. Your favourites are the ones that you yourself put a star in. What's he talking about is the same issue myself and a lot of other people are having. You have your starred contacts, bit the nexus 5 automatically keeps adding frequently called numbers to our speed dial screen. I myself, do NOT want that happening. So I end up having to do what he does and manually deleting them which is REALLY annoying. I only want people I PUT in my speed dial/favourites list showing up there. I do NOT want me phone adding them itself.
any resolution for this? this is occurring on my n6 as well. agree that it is an annoying "feature." I mean there's even a "recents" tab in the dialer app so all these recent calls should just stay there and not add themselves onto our speed dial screens!
Any answer to Disable speed dissing as it is a problem
Even a blocked number is shown up in this tab frequently. Really annoying.
Just install another phone dialer app. Had the same problem, very annoying, poor design also. True Phone Dialer & Contacts is the winner for me, looks and works like a charm.
Hi
I wanted a thread where we all write down the bugs we have found and report them together to get them fixed a lot faster.
I will keep updating the thread as more bugs are found or posted by other members.
Bugs so far:
Android Wear/Nougat bug - If you enable "Ignore phone when using the watch" feature in Android Wear and then click "Find Phone" on the watch, the phone won't ring. This worked on Marshmallow. It disables "android device administrator" too if you set it to ring your phone. Also worked before Nougat.
Some users report problem with Google Play Services when downloading apps.
Some people report double application icons in settings.
smart view case not working properly when on AOD feature.
Missing colors in Peoples Edge feature.
Screen mirroring doesn't work with a ue50ku6000 samsung smart tv.
Some users report different kind of Facebook bugs.
After playing clash royale I go home switch to other app and lock phone. Then I get a notification (sound enabled) and after notification sound is played Clash Royale music starts to play even with phone locked on black screen.

Gallery app is not good.
For example gallery album preview optimization is really bad. Assume you have folders worth 2 scrolling pages. When you scroll back and forth, it always loads the album previews again and again and again idiotically.
Another example is that you are looking images in an album, you clicked and image, scrolled,scrolled and scrolled a lot of images. If you press back button you see last image is centered on album. But if you exit via zoom out gesture, you are doomed. Album is centered on first image.
Also scrolling between tabs on gallery is laggy. If you have a notification on gallery (the smart thing asking for if you want this collage etc) after going in the notifications exiting via back button freezes for a couple secs.

Sorry if its not clear. The reason being not good is because it is full of little bugs. I thought anyone used can understand that.

My notifications went silent, and when I tried to change the notification tone for sms, it said that I can't change the sound whilst I am on a call even though I hadn't been on a call in hours. Anyone else had this??
Camera filter doesn't show in camera interface (although i installed new ones).
Antutu score seems lower than MM version.
Sim Card manager text issues are still not resolved.
Inside apps I am not able to long press and copy text however this should be android native functionality not apps functionality. Used to work everywhere in MM.
after flashing BTU firmware I cant find all the themes in theme store. Majority of good themes are missing.

No i did not click re-partition as it says in sammobile web to not click it, ive done some updates in my other galaxy phone and not a problem with that, lets wait and see if anyone has a solution, or wait for another update
I don't know if is a bug, but AOD looks a step backwards from beta1, this one doesn't change its own brightness, and since yesterday I didn't see changing position neither, anyone noticed the same?

The keep screen off option under display dont work.
I posted this in the AT&T S8+ Forum, figured i'd post in here too, might get faster help. I did do a couple searches before posting, but if someone has already addressed this I apologize.
Hi all, I seem to be unable to get individual text notifications working on my S8+. That is, I go into the contact, I find where it says "Message Tone" and I set the tone I'd like to use. When I go in and look, everything seems to be correct.
Then when a text comes in, the default notification is still used. This is the case when both a tone that I added is used, or a built in tone. I had thought perhaps it was because I was using a 3rd party texting app (Textra, was not a fan of the default Samsung app), but even when I reset to the Samsung messages app, this was still the case (I even tried restarting the phone after setting messages as the default, just to make sure).
Anybody else having this issue? Anybody fix it? I've tried everything I can find, hopefully one of you can point out something obvious that I've missed.

I am. I've attached a screenshot for a contact I'm using as a test (my GVoice number). It LOOKS like it's set up correctly (at least to me) just not working correctly. Personalized Ring Tones seem to work, but not text notifications.
The phone is doing a couple other quirky things. I'm wondering if it might be time to just say "F it" and do a hard reset.

Yeah, I don't think I'm doing anything differently. Weird that ring tones work but not text messages. I had a couple different contact managers installed (don't really like the Samsung one) and thought maybe they were causing the issue, so uninstalled them and rebooted. Still no go.
I do like the look of the dark theme for the contacts app though, definitely gonna change it to that!
I also use Textra on my S8+, as I don't like the default one, and you set the personalized tones in Textra not contacts.
In Textra, go to one of the texts from someone that you want to customize and long press it, then go the three dot menu in the upper right corner and select customize. Then select Notifications, then notification sound and pick the one that you want.
Works perfectly...

:victory: The files are IN the computer!! It's so obvious!! Thanks so much, this has been driving me nuts.
Still a little weird it wouldn't work when I reset the phone to the Samsung app, but now I don't care because this works!! Thank you so much.
Sometimes it is just the little things...
Since the Oreo update I am not able to set a notification tone for messages... I have FDR'd 3 times now... It wasn't working right away... I have done resets with restoring data and NOT restoring any data..... Whether I change it in the messaging app or in the settings drawer it shows it changes but plays the default tone still.... Or sometimes plays nothing.... Any thoughts? I have cleared cache.... To be honest it seems to be doing kind of what it wants as far as tones for messaging.... I am trying to use factory installed tones and also downloaded MP3 tones... It plays the tone just fine as I am trying to select it but doesn't play when a message comes in............
I thought I had the same problem but finally figured it out.
Under the settings/notifications menu in the messaging app, change the tone in the New messages selection.
Edit: for the record, I hate the way notifications work in this new Oreo update. For example, if I have multiple messages that I haven't read, if I exit the app without having read some, the notification goes away entirely.
Plus, the badge notification isn't working on some apps unless I have it set for push notifications, which I don't want.
Oh well, nothing I can do about it now... at least that I know of.

Did you read my edit above? Any ideas?
In particular, two apps, Facebook and Words with Friends 2, I could set them (in Nougat) to not allow push notification but a badge would show up on the icon letting me know I had a new item in the app without it going to the top notification bar. I can't get it to do the same now.

I'll keep playing around with the notifications. Maybe I'll figure it out.
Honestly, I disabled game launcher. I don't even know what it's for. Maybe I'll play around with it to see. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I think this is correct for the most part. Here's what I'm running into now, though. On several apps, including one for work that I need notifications for, the badges aren't even working at all, even with all apps set for all push notifications. For me, the badges are more important on some of my apps than the notifications on the bar at the top.
I hate this. Why would they change something like this? This all worked fine in Nougat.
I purchased Nova launcher prime a while back. Looks like it's time to go try that one again.
I'm having the same trouble. I have Push notifications turned on, but Facebook, Words with Friends, and the native email app won't show badge notifications.
Email shows an old number in the badge when, right after rebooting, it shows the notifications.
I'm not enjoying this update.

First of all, thanks to all who can help me figure this out. It has been a while since I’ve been on this forum and I did manage to try and stay out of trouble with my devices. I am careful about what I put on the phone and I have several antivirus apps running but I can’t figure out this one. This started happening this week on my stock galaxy s8+ unlocked straight from Samsung unmodified by cell carriers. The notification screen now reads “One missed call from 19:00” and I posted a pic of it below this text. I thought a new version of Google Voice was doing this but I uninstalled it. Anyone knows how to figure out what app is taking over my missed call notifications?

When the pop up is opened like on the picture, have you tried hitting the recent button to see what the app is called? It'll usually say the app name on the top left corner in recents
I don’t press on the ads and do not want to take a chance.
It might be the hiya app
I don’t think it’s the hiya because there is a separate pop up from hiya that is purple and shows caller name and not 19:00.
Just hold down on the notification and check the app info
I found the scumbag app. It's called "App Backup & Restore - Easiest backup tool". Latest update displays ads after every call. This is like a virus because it runs when the app is not open.

remove the "phone" permission for the app and it wont be able to post ads after your call
