    Thread How to fix phone radio battery problem + Is it a planned obsolescence tactic?

    So given that in the exact same context and with the same usage, and that it happens for other users as well in other context, but most importantly that it started happening EXACTLY the day I got the S8 a year ago... I'm having phone radio problems again out of nowhere and like crazy, but I'm...

    Post Heavy (GSAM) Phone Radio battery drain even with no sim card

    Why isn't there any update to that? I suspect this is a planned obsolescence scheme to push you to buy a new smartphone since there's no reason for that...

    Post [Error] - Downgrade Oreo for Nougat

    Would this cause problem with a non-flashed (but ADB enabled) S8? I want to try Oreo but in case it ****s my battery I want to be able to downgrade.

    Post [HELP THREAD] Ask any Questions [NOOB FRIENDLY]

    2 questions: 1. is there not a single thread of XDA with large sample poll on battery performance for Oreo...? I've been searching for a clear cut answer for 3 months it's getting tiring to get either people lying or nothing concise which prevents me from either updating or not. 2. Do ROMs...

    FFS is there not a single thread of XDA with large sample poll on battery performance for Oreo...? I've been searching for a clear cut answer for 3 months it's getting tiring to get either people lying or nothing concise which prevents me from either updating or not. My guess is even though...

    Post [Battery] Samsung Galaxy S8 behavior: how does it work?

    I gather XDA is not to best place to get answers. Why the heck isn't there any clear-cut list with description for popular smartphones and versions somewhere?

    Thread [Battery] Samsung Galaxy S8 behavior: how does it work?

    I've mostly used iPhone until now, and as a big fan of Steve Jobs (not Apple) for years I was both satisfied but also incredibly getting bored and dissatisfied with the latest non-upgraded iPhones so I decided to switch. Boy was I wrong... The reason why I mention the iPhone is that, since this...

    I don't give in private information extortion on the Play Store, **** any app that asks informations or access it doesn't need.

    Post Oreo battery life

    FFS why can't anyone on android "developper" forum figure out clear explanation (not even solution) but explanation for that. I can tell you exactly why or what are the process that make an iPhone battery life go down, and you can find plenty of description and (jailbroken or not) solutions...

    Post [APP][4/5/6/7+] GMD GestureControl ★ root

    Thanks. I read All in one Gestures is one of those intrusive privacy extortion app with permissions so I won't install it, but I'll try to find another solution. Also I guess a rooted solution is better for privacy, cpu and battery?

    Thread Sudden battery drain...even without Oreo update. How to completely disable updates?

    While I harshly regret having even made the mistake to switch to an Android or at least Samsung device, at first my new S8 provide pretty good and consistent battery for about 3 months. And suddenly, with no additional app or update (at least that I'm aware off since I of course didn't make...

    Post [APP][4/5/6/7+] GMD GestureControl ★ root

    Hi, I'm new to this tool so I'll be quick: 1. Is there a non-root version or similar app? 2. Does this or any other app have iPhone X-like multitasking gestures? (Swipe-up from botton for home, Swipe-up and maintain for multitask) Thanks.

    Thread S8 Oreo Battery: Documented and straight-forward results?

    Tired of the BS "mixed reviews" that shouldn't happen on the same hardwares (S8) with the same version (S8). So instead of wasting time not finding a real answer I want to ask this in a straight-forward way: 1. Are there consistent documented tests and reviews about battery life on Oreo vs...

    Thread [UX] How to get automatically rearranging home icons?

    On iPhone, the home UX is pretty logical: when you delete or move an app, all the row of app moves to fill the empty space which is practical and clean. On Android everytime you move or uninstall an app, it just becomes full of incoherent empty spot which means you have to manually rearrange...
