I am in a huge dilemma. I have 600$ to spend and I am falling between the S8+ or the OnePlus 6. Can someone pls help me decide. Also, I would like to aask if the S8+ runs games like PUBG and Asphalt 8 as smoothly as the OP6

      46xy, 07 Jun 2018Thanks all. I shall try as u suggested. See u soon.Another test you could also conduct is to dial *#0*#

      As if you are making a call Dial *#0*# and then click on 'receiver' you will then hear a steady clean tone coming through the earpiece. Admittedly if you do not have another s8/s8 plus at your disposable (e.g a friend ) it is rather hard to determine if your earpiece sounds any different to a earpiece that is faulty. But if that tone is not clear then that would certainly be an indication that there is indeed an issue with the earpiece.

      To come out of that menu just press the back button several times until you come out of that menu.

        scorpio, 08 Jun 2018Good suggestion but how would you then return the phone to ... moreYeah I should of said. When your phone restarts and goes into safe mode, a notification will pop up and say 'tap here to turn off safe mode' so basically you just tap the message in your notification tray (top of the screen) to go come out of safe mode. The phone will once again restart in order to do this.

        Its more than likely it won't be an issue relating to an app in this case, but it will allow you to trouble shoot, and rule out whether or not a 3rd party app is causing any issue as the phone is a very stripped down state when the phone is in 'safe mode' E.g All 3rd party Apps will be disabled

        With a calling issue as I said it's unlikely to be a 3rd party app.. buy hey you never know, you get all weird apps these days and it could be something like a call recording app for example that is causing issue..... I dunno. Like I said worth trying as you can at least start eliminating things that maybe causing an issue before taking the phone to a service centre.

        Hope it helps :)

            46xy, 07 Jun 2018Thanks all. I shall try as u suggested. See u soon.Also another thing you could try and once again you may of tried this also, so I apologise if I'm coming across a bit patronising:)

            Try putting the phone into 'safe mode' and making and taking a call just to see if by any 3rd party app is causing any issues.

            To do this :

            Whilst the phone is on, just long press the power key as you would normally do to select 'power off' option but instead of tapping the 'power off' just keep pressing on that 'power off' option until you see safe mode then click on 'safe mode' and whilst safe make and take a call.

            It will just allow you to rule out any 3rd party app that may be causing an issue.

            Good luck

              Been using this for more than a month now and I say it`s a great buy, I know I should have gone to S9 Plus but since my budget fall in to the S8 plus category so I went through, a little bit of hit and miss on the finger print sensor you gonna have to get use to it when you decided to use it otherwise you still got other ways of unlocking your phone. Mine I registered all of it. This phone is really good but I might trade it in to S9 plus since my goal from the start is S9 plus because of the camera features which I use a lot from my S8 plus. And that bixby translation kind of thing when you take the camera to a different language and it will automatically translate it for you, not a big deal but kinda useful to what I do day to day. All in all the phone is great can`t say any other bad things about it except that bixby button when it supposed to be remapped in the first place. otherwise things are great but I pursue S9 plus no hard feelings to the s8 plus community.

                  AnonD-257122, 07 Jun 2018Exactly! I'm yet to find any flaws in this phone :-)Feel exactly the same. Have over 90 apps on the phone and it's ran like a dream. With other phones in the past I used to get obsessed with constantly cleaning the phone out, and I would have wee niggles here and there, I was never fully satisfied.

                  This phone, hand on heart has been a sheer joy to use.

I know that you have probably asked yourself whether it could possibly be the network itself but if not.... If it's an unlocked version possibly try another sim card on another network, borrow a friend's if possible to make and take a call, just to eliminate anything you can

                    If the problem persists then I would certainly consider popping into a service centre to see if there is an issue with the phone itself as I wouldn't put up with the call quality sound as you describe it.

                    Yeah, I'm not a lover of an oversaturated colours and prefer the 'basic' setting as I find that's the best setting to achieve a more natural look but it's all subjective and that may suit you.

                    Ta for your reply and hope you manage to get it sorted or that someone can assist you further. It's a great phone just a shame that you are having this issue :(

                        Call sound is loud but it feels me that its coming through a tunnel...may be my earpiece is defective.
                        Besides i like camera with natural color picture . ( Like i phone )
                        But my s8 plus captures oversaturated picture ... . Display is set in adaptive mode.

                                You could try adapting the sound to suit yourself to see if it helps in anyway if you have not done so already.

                                Go to 'settings' then 'sound and vibration' followed by 'sound quality and effects' now press 'adapt sound' then 'add personalized sound profile'

                                As it says, find a quite place and press start, you will hear a series of beeps etc it will also ask what ear you normally use to make or take calls.
