you can set the time out under display settings .. but i'd also recommend using the smart stay feature, works great .. phone will check periodically to see if you're looking at the phone and if you are will disregard any time out setting and leave the screen on untill you look away

Yeah mine had been the same up until today, bit odd. Anyone got any ideas?
I've changed up to something darker for less of a battery drain. https://gifyu.com/images/SmartSelectGIF_2017-05-01-01-37-52.gif
Is it only on the Plus? I searched "immersive mode" on settings and didn't see anything.
whats an app that works reliably for this on nougat?

i asusme samsung haven't enabled the toggle because of the up/down swipe guesture already being taken by the app draw ..but .. eh .. is it useful or not? imo the nav coltols should be persistant ..and it's up to the app it's self to switch into such a mode. ie thats on instagram to implement , as i assume youtube does
so much faster than i expected it to be. although it def struggles in bright daylight.
on that point, as a righty, i have no problem with the finger print scanner position on the s8, i dare say it's perfect. if you wanted to argue what should move then maybe the camera. but eh .. mussel memory is gonna kick in eventually
Do you have transition lenses? It's pretty iffy for me too and I suspect that's the cause of it.
So I've been using the Samsung LED Flip Cover for about a week now, took it of today just to feel the difference. It really feels so much better without the cover, it feels like I'm doing the phone such a disservice while using a cover, it's so much lighter without the cover and looks so much better.
So I might just skip the cover, the phone is insured from my home insurance so I think I'll go nude from now on haha.

I'm so bummed about the DQA thing. I just want to be able to enjoy the phone with wifi. So frustrating.
There is an DQA Update in the ha liebe Galaxy App Store that fixes it afaik

Go into the battery settings and you can remove the % indicator.
Thanks!

to be more specific follow these steps;
Settings -> Device maintenance -> Battery Icon -> three dots on top right and choose advanced settings -> on the bottom it will say Percentage on status bar. Toggle that to Off.

I've still received nothing outside of my confirmation email.

Oh thanks but it just popped up as soon as I got home.
Super happy. Problem seems gone now.I've never used an Android Phone before, but I have decided its time to switch from windows because even microsoft no longer develops apps for it (and I feel like I have joined remedial school every time I pick up an Iphone).
Is the android ecosystem overly complicated to learn? I used to be very tech savvy but since I got into law and policy as a work field I really haven't had to keep up to date with tech.
I am thinking either picking up the S8 or waiting for the LG v30

I had no problems picking up Android as a newbie, I know a few middle-aged people who picked it up and had no problems. You should be fine.

Anyone having issues with aux in on their car? Mate of mine plugs hers in. Will get a thumping sound like a heartbeat. Then after some random plugging and unplugging the cables it will work. Known issue? Car is a vauxhall astra.
Its not the cable. Her s7 still works fine and my s6 works fine. She turned on that uhq uoscaler or whatever its called but doesnt seem to make a difference. She doesnt have BT unfortunately in car for media audio....just calls. Any ideas?

I wish there was a way to adjust the Font color without relying on themes.
i like this current theme i have but the color of the font is a dark brown.

US variant works with quickcharge so any battery pack that supports that should work.Anyone found any battery packs/power banks that support quick charge with this phone?
Get my phone tomorrow, can't wait
I have this that works nicely
Type-C/USB-C Input & Output RAVPower 20100mAh Portable Charger QC 3.0 Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 Power Bank External Battery Pack + QC3.0 USB Charger for Macbook, Nexus 6, iPhone and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IVMXW7G/?tag=neogaf0e-20
It also can quickcharge itself which is a major feature.
Battery life is maybe a few % difference. Feel like 1080p is a bit more smoother though
Lol I also came from a Moto X (the Pure, though, not the original), and had been using a custom ROM for so long that I had completely forgotten about the hand wave feature (since it didn't work with custom ROM's).
I'm using the AOD for now, but I suspect in 2-3 months when I want better battery life I'll end up turning it off and forgetting it ever existed.
Yeah, I had a pure as well.
Ended up disabling it on my S8+ after some thought. Just odd to me to have more than just a clock and notifications showing (infinity wallpaper) as well as it just being constantly on.

Cautionary tale: *BUY A CASE FOR THIS PHONE.*
I had my Note 3 for 4 years. Had it caseless and till today, it's scratch free. Skipped a case for S8+ as well, and lo and behold, dropped on concrete. Now that gorgeous screen is cracked. I have insurance, but the deductible is 250 dollars.
Lesson learned the hard way.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.

If you buy from AT&T (Or Verizon/Sprint/T-Mobile) it will come with their regular share of crapware apps. You could buy it factory unlocked to subvert that, but then you run the risk of getting software updates at a slower rate because Samsung is taking their sweet time updating the unlocked models over carrier phones. The unlocked S7 still doesn't have Nougat and the S7 Edge just got it whereas the AT&T versions got it back in February.
Did you buy it with a credit card?

Nah, leased with my carrier account. Why would it matter? I can't imagine I could fairly contest its charge given that I own it. (Unless you were thinking about how some CC's offer protection plans?)
Yeah, Chase has a $500 insurance for 120 days on stuff you buy from them, dunno if others offer more.
