my boyfriend had this problem on his j3 it turned out that settings had been changed for internet which 3g etc uses. once that was changed he was able to hear people again. also on his phone it was saying Hd calling. when I phoned him got sane thing, but when I called other people I didn't get it. I think his phone was trying to connect to 5g which his phone is incompatible with. ... View more

It's not down to Samsung, it's to do with Google removing the permission to record, its affecting ALL recording apps. It's affecting those on the pie system, oreo and nougat will still work. I don't know why Google think they're the police on this matter, as we don't all use our phones for illegal purposes. I use it as I don't always catch a phone number or address, and to protect myself as I have had a lot of scam calls one threatening me one time, which put the fear of God into me. I have cancelled my subscription to one as it's only recording me and not the other party due to this stupid change. I can't see why we can't record or calls when we get recorded via businesses. Hopefully someone can find a workaround, at the moment Google closed the previous workaround. They may put an update out but it seems will only come with the new release of Q, they may not reimplement it though. Don't forget Google has been fined due to privacy laws.  ... View more

I'm glad to meet you. I am really happy with my s8 with I only got around 5 months ago. I did try to hold out for the s9 though. I haze recently received the Oreo update and do like it. I have noticed that I didn't get all the features that I should have but I suppose that is down to the carrier putting their own spin on things. I also noticed that my font on the home screen isn't as clear as it used to be. It's slightly blurry. It's only affecting the home screen though. Everything else is nice and clear. I thought it was my eyes. It's looks like you have had a night on the tiles even though I haven't been any any where. Lol. I just wished Samsung would send out there updates quicker than they do. This one I admit has been quicker than previous updates. Some I have had to wait almost two years and then i was updating phone! Unfortunately we can't all always update to the newest model. I also wished that Samsung would being back removable batteries. I'm a heavy user and this would be a godsend to me. I do have problems with the sd card though. I have moved Photos to sd card. Then I caught view them. Hopefully with Oreo this would have been sorted out. I also have had problems with my bt app and goggle movie play apps saying that they cat play as screen is insecure. I dingy understand this as I have all the security updates and have screen locks on. Both referred me back to Samsung. Again hopefully this Oreo update may have rectified this. Kind regards Sue ...

Never had any problems with samsung ever, i started with a d500, then galaxy, galaxy s3, s5,s7 and now the s8 which i love! 😁 Hi squeaky I must admit I love the s8 too. I have previously been a big fan of Motorola's.  I loved their clamshell look. I had moist of their clamshell models ending with the maroon razar. When they stopped being in the business fur a while I went to Samsung and have not looked back. I like the way you can transfer your details from phone to phone with ease.  The font and the size of the screen makes my old eyes easier to focus. I like the way you can customise your phone to make it yours. I'm regularly changing themes and the new aods. I like the way you can change the icons well just wish that this customisation there were more free versions. Although I have spent  a lot of money on themes etc.  I do have problems with certain apps and the native keyboard. When I get fed up with the constant mistakes I change to the goggle keyboard. I update regularly and do have the previous version backed up just in case. I'm now looking into having the virtual reality set.  I think I'm addicted to my phones since being off work sick. Lol take  care. ☺ 🎄 ... View more

Hello everybody I'm starz12 I like technology and have been a loyal Samsung supporter since getting a Samsung galaxy S4. I still have my S4 and S6 non edge and have now got a S8. I find in the S8 that you actually lose a bit of field of vision. Quite noticeable on some themes and wallpapers that I have had on my flat screened S6. I'm loving the s8 and am waiting on getting introduced to the field of virtual reality. I change my themes quite regularly as I get bored with the same theme and like the fact that you can also change the icons and always on display. Love the customisation that android gives you. Having problems with the native Samsung keyboard though. I use the swipe for all my inputting but this keyboard doesn't recognize a lot of the words. It used to be fine until the updates. ...
