    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...

    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...

    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...

    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 [Bixby] I disabled/remaped Bixby. How to get rid of sound and camera icon?

    I don't know what Bixby is worth, if the S8 wasn't violating my private and corporate information I might have tried, since they forcing-feeding it on me, I will never. So 1. I used BKD to disable all packages and related services except for WinkService (in BixbyVoice) and SpageService (in...

    Thread [Guide (Making One)] Please help do a thorough guide to optimising an Android.

    Backstory: I've always used iPhones, was tired of the bullshit, and wished for Android especially the S8. Was shocked, and I'm rarely shocked, but the agressive violation of privacy, the crazy amount of bloatware, and the unoptimised UX and system services overall. Now, I'm in charge of a wide...

    Thread [Fixed]Package Disabler: Re-enabling not working?

    So I started fiddling with Bk Package Disabler on mostly bloatware and following advices. So long I've only disabled Sound Detection, AASAservices and just tried Smart Capture. The problem, is I had the idea to be sure that package disabler (not uninstaller as far as I'm concerned) worked as...
