Have you guys enabled the 'apply current theme' option in the navigation bar? I found that using a black theme helps the nav bar stay black in most stock apps but in 3rd party ones the nav bar will try to match the app's colour or will be white in colour.

hi guys, any recommended usb type-c quickcharge cable? no samsung ori please...

Hello, many of us from previous versions of the s8 duo thread have purchased blitzwolf type c cables from banggood.com. They were having a sale for those last month. Even without the sale I believe the cables were being sold for cheaper than what is available from local online retailers. It's a braided cable so it's very durable and supports fast charging without problems.

This appears to be in stock. Though I'm not sure about the difference, if any, between this and the AmpCore version of the cable which is currently​ out of stock, besides the design. Both support up to 3.0A

I think the terms of the voucher state that they can only be used for Samsung products under certain categories; phones and tablets, mobile accessories and wearables.

For those who want a quicker way to get to mySamsung app storage settings, just long press on the app icon, a small drop down menu will appear. Press app info and then go to storage. IMO a much quicker way than going through the main settings app.

Is that to get SOT min 6+ hours is to maximizing power saving mode or whatever, then no point to buy such high flagship 3k phone  :confused:  :confused:

I highly suggest you guys get the package disabler app from the play store. Allows you to disable any system processes you feel that you won't use, effectively prolonging battery life.

Disabling or putting some apps to sleep also works right? Any suggestiong which is better? Manually disabling/sleep some apps, or the package disabler app?
*
Yes that helps but with the package disabler app you can disable more background processes which are unnecessary to you. More than just the apps that you can find manually. For example, I don't use Samsung cloud so I disabled the service otherwise it'll be always running in the background.

Adhell will block the ads in all apps including games?

Not all. A good example is the YouTube app whereby Adhell is unable to stop the ads from playing. Certain games such as asphalt 8 also lets ads through for me. But for most apps, Adhell does do a commendable job blocking adverts including in popular ones like Shazam, ookla speed test and Polaris office.

OMG

Are you using original charger N cable ?
That is terribly bad. For me it takes about 2.5 hours from 5% to close full.
BTW what does 'convertible ' mean
Your charger could be defective??
I am still using the fast wireless charger with built in fan from Note7 days
The unit that came free is still inside the box

I too have recently purchased the wireless charger convertible. Can confirm that is charges quite quickly when paired with an original Samsung adapter ( I'm using the one from my S6e), to which I was pleasantly surprised. And I should point out that I hadn't turned on fast wireless charging. Went from 50% to 75% in about 35 mins.

I'd also like to point out that the wireless charger works with my iPad wall adapter (and possibly other non-samsung adapters as well) but the charging speed decreases rather significantly. Given the time it will successfully charge my phone to full (~4 hours from 50%) without any problems. However there is a lot less heat generated as compared to when using the original Samsung adapter and this one can easily tell the difference just by placing one's palm on the screen as it sits on the wireless charger.

The original Samsung adapter has the capability of supporting FC (9V, 1.67A) right?
*
Yeah. But since I don't turn on the fast wireless charging on my phone I assume the adapter has an output of 5V, 2.0A. The iPad adapter on the other hand is stated to have a similar output, however the charging speed is much slower. I guess original accessories definitely help lol.
