New Verizon update - G950USQU1AQD9

[mobilehavoc]

Woke up this morning and it was ready to be installed.

Link to update details - https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s8-update/

The answering calls with volume up button seems weird - who was asking for that??

Also I must not have noticed but in the app switcher/multitasking there's a little button that let's you expand an app to full screen right there - was that there before? After this update a little prompt came up too tell me about it so could have been there before and not noticed it.

It disables Bixby remapping.

I took it, everything seems the same to me.

Im waiting just in case, I know from past experiences I dont want any early updates just in case of a bootloader unlock that gets patched.

 

[d33dvb]

Not taking any chances on updates for a long time.

Any chance this update screws over the 1% chance this phone gets root?

It does not. I use the latest update and keep getting DQA keeps closing. I have my bibxy button remapped on this update.

Lucky you. Since I've taken the update, I have no DQA problems, but I now have to use one of those special bixby remapping apps because the update has removed my ability to intercept the bixby button signal.

I think there must be some sort of app conflict on the devices getting the DQA force closing issues. I have never seen it a single time on my device.

I've updated the DQA app and haven't had any issue yet. It only popped up for me once and I just disabled it but re enabled it to get the update.

If it is an app conflict I am pretty sure it is with a stock app. I applied the update right out of the box (before installing anything else) and was rewarded with the DQA issue. I didn't do much research on the problem as I took it back/exchanged it because it had the red/pink screen issue referenced here. It seems that the update was hastily thrown out to address the tint issue and they may have overlooked some things during testing considering the wide number reporting the DQA issue.

[Guessphx]

Is there anyway to downl9ad the update and flash in odin? I have a Verizon s8+ but I'm using TMobile any help is highly appreciated​!

Yup. I had the Bixby button remapped to work as the back key.

After the update, all in one gestures doesn't work for me anymore. Now when I press the Bixby button nothing happens (which is still better than launching the useless Bixby app).

Not only that, but none of the Bixby button remap apps work for me either.

I have tried 2 different apps & the button still does absolutely nothing (which is STILL better than accidentally opening the useless Bixby every time I meant to lower the volume LOL)
