Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+/S8 Active Updates/News

20w

Got an update yesterday, thought I was getting Oreo (silly me to think samsung would move so quickly)
Its and update to August security update, and the only other change I can see is you can double tap a little dot on the nav bar on the bottom to make it say.
I will roam around and see what else looks new to me

JetLife: I wouldn't expect oreo till late q1 or mid q2 of next year. For the s8/+ and q3 for the note 8........unless Samsung keeps their promise of faster updates.😞

Jairo Reyes: +JetLife how about not seeing it until after the s9 comes out. I see that happening.

JetLife: +Jairo Reyes yea me too. That's typically how sammy works....but they DID promise speeder updates this year but I'm not gonna hold my breath for that. I agree, it'll probably be a few months after the s9 drops.

Hello, got a problem, I was playing around with the different language in the settings and change it to U.S Virgin Islands and now the Google Assistant does not work, and it is grayed out and I can't change it back to the default language. I am in the United States on a Nexbit Robin with 7.1.1 Nugat.
Please help. Thank you.

I read somewhere that tcp connected products no longer work with Wink, is this true?

I have 4 tcp bulbs sitting in the closet that I have not gotten around to setting up that I got from home Depot on sale. Did I waste my money?

Alexis Cocly: So I basically flushed my money down the drain. This is why I hesitate to expand my wink system.

Jason Reuter: I would think they could still be added to the wink hub. I don't own any of them. Most of my place has lutron switch's and Philips / Osram lights. Cree dumb bulbs work best for me on switches.

Ashok Aiyar: +Alexis Cocly That was a decision taken by TCP so it has affected ALL their customers, not just those who use Wink. Further, TCP used a proprietary version of 6lowpan, as opposed to an interoperable standard like ZigBee or z-wave. For this reason, the vast majority of my Wink-connected products are z-wave. Should Wink ever go down, I'll just replace the Wink hub with another z-wave hub.

Heard about this on ' Daily Tech News Show' http://www.dashrunnerapp.com has any of you tried it?

DashRunner - Free Automation with Amazon Dash Buttons, Echo and Google Home - Home

dashrunnerapp.com

Patrick Gutbrod: No but I hope to soon 😀

Zarthan South: I have used Dash buttons to trigger HA events and for the things I used them for, they worked well. The biggest problem is is time lag. It will take a few seconds for the dash button to be recognized on the network. For the button I used to trigger going to sleep, a few seconds were actually useful.
The second problem is battery life. Any button you use regularly will die in a few months. Current versions of the Dash button use a battery clip for a AAA battery so you can replace them. Bad news is you need to slice open the button case since they are sonicly welded shut and you need to go through the setup process again.

Honor X Series & Huawei Mate Series Smartphones Honor X Series Discussion

Jan 20, 2016

I'm looking to upgrade from my LG G2, to this phone, or a used Galaxy S5. I'm am on Straight Talk in a Verizon market. Will this phone work on Verizon, would you guys pick this over an S5? The only thing I am disapointed with on the Honor 5x is that there is no NFC, and I wanted to give Android pay some love.

Alexis Cocly: The bands thing is such a mind melt. The H5x has LTE on band 4 which I as I understand is what Verizon operates on. My area...rural Georgia Verizon coverage....Maybe I should check coverage maps again it has been at least 5 to 6 years since I checked.

The reason I am reconsidering the S5 is because it is rumoured to get the marshmallow update. Keep in mind it is only last year's model which was top of the line. When I got my G2 the G3 hand just hit the market.

E. Gerry Murray: +Alexis Cocly lol I know. I can help a little by explaining the difference between the four carriers of the US.
LTE is Data Only, unless using VoLTE.

Verizon - CDMA Voice/GSM Data/LTE

Sprint - Same as Verizon

AT&T - GSM Voice and Data & LTE

T-Mobile - Same as AT&T

So as far as what devices work on what network, this is where things get hairy. If you put a Verizon (Straight Talk Verizon) SIM into the Hx5, you will not be able to make a phone call unless it is over LTE (Know as VoLTE) which means you will need an incredibly strong LTE signal and VoLTE working wherever you go, which we both know won't happen all the time.
The S5 you spoke of... If you know what carrier it was on previously, then you will know what carrier it can work with.
You can't just match up LTE DATA bands, in other words. Each phone you see (unless its one of the devices I listed below) is made for either a GSM or CDMA network. In some cases they will operate on the other networks, but there will always be missing functionality. No LTE, or no Voice, etc.

Phones that can work on ANY carrier because they have both radio technologies CDMA & GSM:
Nexus 5, 5x, 6, 6p
Moto X Pure (2014)
MotoX Pure/Style (2015)
MotoG (2015)
MotoX Play (2015)

I hope this helps clear up the fuzz a little.

Alexis Cocly: Yes, thanks a lot. that help. The S5 I got my eyes on is a Verizon version. I'm on a budget, I will check out all of those above see which fits my budget of under $200
