Samsung s8/s8+ wi-fi nougat fix !!! (aka s7)

[MirceaForce]

Got mine fixed by replacing the unit, bad 4g and wifi, acted like a missing antena although i think some terminals have bad modem.
My first one had worse signal than my s5, the new unit is a little better than my s5 but not working well through walls, will have to try it with an broadcom based router, I have an atheros right now...

what kind of troubles did you had ??? emergency call only or losing 4g ?? wi-fi ???

I would suggest aggressive handover setting in dev options over smart network switch. Less resource intensive and works better from my experience

What's this ?? it's help what ?? wi-fi ? lte??

Transfers data from weak WiFi to cell data, so you don't lose connection to live data

As said above.

A more basic smart connect, except instead of your WiFi being unusable and having to look to see a notification saying will reconnect to WiFi when signal becomes more stable, it just disconnects from WiFi, then connects back to it when the signal is more usable

1. Network flapping for no reason, sometimes it took me 30 min to establish a connection, but it was random 5hat is the strange thing
2. Poor wifi signal compared to other devices both on 5gh an 2.4ghz
3. Poor 4g signal although I realized that upon replacing it...

I have the uk BTU s8 unlocked, no operator no apps

only Wi-Fi 5 ghz affected on 2.4ghz it's perfect

on my s7 5ghz works perfect no droops

Also another weird problem if I will go to a zone where there is no signal/data and I have them on....and stay on that zone for a long time like 2-3 hours and come back to good signal full gsm & H+ The phone detect gsm and data signal but remains in emergency call only so this is very wired because I did change the nano sim ......only fix airplane mode on off

also with a fast car charger from Samsung the phone was charging perfect until it hits 90% and no charging but is says that is fast charging and no time until full charged.....very wired. fix unplug and plug again and the same thing.....but after that I did unplug again and it works ....maybe there was a car problem

with ac charger no problems

maybe because the phone it's new and still wait for fix from Samsung

did perform a wipe cache no full reset

I did send the unit back hope a second new unit will be ok

I have the uk BTU s8 unlocked, no operator no apps

I have a S8+ I got from Clove. I've had two actually, the first went back for a pink display. At home I use/used both exclusively on 5GHz and never had an issue. I connect to a lot of different Wi-Fi networks because I travel a lot and haven't experienced any abnormal behavior. I usually have a Samsung tablet with me and I haven't noticed any Wi-Fi difference between them and my S8. If what you folks are experiencing is h/w related it's certainly not affecting all phones. It can't be s/w because those of us on BTU all are using the same s/w.

the most problems are on 5GHZ when you make a wi-fi call (wahtsup,etc) on s7 everything it's ok

yes I know that maybe a bad unit

i will try with a second one maybe it will be ok

also the problem with the charging it's not ok

did you tested your unit at high temperatures ??
