    Thread Are there still snapdragon GPS issues?

    This question is only directed to people who had issues from day 1, please don't reply if your GPS has always been working fine. Are folks who had GPS issues with snapdragon models still continuing to have those issues? Interested in this phone but it definitely isn't worth it to me if I can't...

    Thread Force touch works maybe 75% of the time..

    I've noticed even since Nougat, my force touch on the home button does nothing a lot of the time. It can't be a hardware issue because the phone does vibrate when I apply pressure to it.. does anyone else have this issue? It's kind of the main reason I never hit the lower left button to hide...

    Thread Oreo locks down Google assistant even MORE?

    Back when Oreo was in beta, I read reports of people finally being able to activate Google assistant while the screen is off. However, now that I have the official update, it still doesn't seem possible. And even more so, I can't even trigger GA to unlock my phone from the lock screen- Google's...

    Thread Oreo Navigation Buttons?

    So, I noticed that after my Oreo upgrade on the Verizon S8+, I have stock Android buttons instead of Samsung buttons. Did something weird happen with my update? I'm not complaining lol https://i.imgur.com/sgHpPnv.jpg

    Thread How hot is too hot? Battery questions.

    I'm curious how hot everyone's phones have been getting while using the fast charger, and how hot is "too hot", in regards to possibly degrading your long-term battery life. In my current process, I've been charging for about 15 minutes, watch the temp go to 99 degrees Fahrenheit, and unplug...

    Thread Wobbly/Recessed Power Button?

    I've owned my S8+ for a little over a week and my power button randomly started feeling kind of loose, and like the top portion of the button sinks in a little more than the bottom. It looks like it doesn't stick out as far as the left buttons anymore and doesn't feel nearly as sturdy as them...

    Thread Sudden Google App Standby Drain?

    I received my S8+ on Wednesday, and its standby drain has been pretty good, only going down a few percent in the night. Suddenly, my battery dropped down from 91 to 77 in 7 hours last night, and Google App was #1 on the drain list (It's usually near the bottom). I always set up Google Assistant...

    Thread Terrible aux audio?

    Man, I'm really enjoying my S8+, but the auxiliary output sounds terrible. Really muddled and overpowering bass. The adapt sound helps the ear buds for sure, but when I connect in my car, the adapt sounds worse than if it were off. Anyone have advice/similar experience? Id hate to buy a whole...

    Thread Google Assistant + Play Music Bug?

    Sooo, I got Assistant on my G5 and it's making me very angry. I can no longer use OK Google to play music from my Play Music library. It always just searches and plays the command as a song from the radio portion of the app. Even if I specify "Play the album ___", it looks up the album name as a...

    Thread Android OS Destroying Battery (and using data)?

    Hi guys, I don't know what's going on, but my phone's battery has just turned to crap recently. Today, I left for work at 7 with a fully charged battery, and hardly used it aside from a few texts. By noon it was dead in my pocket out of nowhere (my battery saver mode never came on any of the...

    Thread Battery cradle issues?

    I've noticed something odd with my G5 battery "coffin". It doesn't seem to charge my battery when using the additional USB on it to power something else... Has anybody noticed? Ive only used that functionality twice, but I decided to try and power my Chromecast through it while charging my...

    Thread Why do 3rd party apps hate our camera?

    I've noticed sooo many different apps where the camera is incredibly dark unless you're out during a bright day. Snapchat definitely had this issue big time awhile ago and seemed to have fixed it, MSQRD as well, and now Pokemon Go. It's crazy the difference between the stock camera and other...

    Thread Should I restore from backup after reset?

    Something that I've been curious about- if I decide to factory reset my device due to some issue/bug found in an update or something, would using the LG Backup tool to backup and then restore after the reset be safe? I just don't know if the backup tool touches system data and if a restore...

    Thread Unlock lag? Solution found.

    So today I finally traded my G5 for a replacement due to a strange issue with major lock screen lag. This was mainly if you tried to unlock right after locking. Well, I noticed my new G5 is doing the same. I was angry, but as I was setting back up, I somehow fixed it! I have confirmed that if I...

    Thread Delayed Wake?

    Hey guys! Just got my g5 last week and have so far been loving it- fastest Android phone I've used, and a huge improvement over its horribly buggy predecessor. That being said.... I've noticed a crazy unlock delay, but only when it's right after locking it (sometimes I shut off my screen and am...

    Thread Mobile Site Lag?

    Does anybody else have lag on mobile on this site? I swear I've had choppy scrolling and small freezes on XDA for a few years now, even changing from the S4 to the G4. Android Central's mobile site yields very similar results. Why is it that many websites load and scroll just fine, but it seems...

    Thread Data Randomly Doesn't Work 13B

    After installing the 13B OTA, pages and texts will randomly not load or send unless I reboot my phone. Nothing fixes it by toggling, only a reboot. Anybody else run into this? It looks like web pages do slowly load when the problem occurs (like 2-5 minutes to load a single page), but my MMS...
