Pls is there anybody here who is having similar experience as me, I want to know what to do about it.
I observed that after one of the previous updates, my S8 lost the ability of the proximity sensor. I mean, I'm using one of these clear view pouches on my phone. It lightens up the screen once you open the pouch cover. Also, when you close the pouch cover, the screen goes off immediately. It keeps the phone safe from accidental operation in the pocket. Also if you wave your hand some inches above the screen, it lightens up the screen in locked mode.
But after one of the previous updates, this sensor stopped working, I don't know exactly which of the updates triggered this issue.
Pls is any user having similar issue, and hw can I go about it because I'm a lover user of clear view Samsung phone pouch.

Rishi., 08 Nov 2019Sony Xperia xz1 ? Or Samsung S8? Suggest me. I owned an XZ1 since January, and I've just swapped it for an S8. No doubt the XZ1 is a fine phone, but the S8 has more features and options, a nicer screen (AMOLED with better res) and a much, much better ecosystem (i.e., it's easier to find someone who knows how to repair a Samsung, not so much a Sony, there are more aftermarket cases and accessories for Samsung, etc.).
I found the Sony's camera and battery to be just fine, no problem with them whatsoever, my only gripe in with the 960fps which is pretty gimmicky at best, I preferred the XPeria X Compact's 120 fps as it was more versatile.
I don't know how reliable the S8 is yet, but Sony's build quality has been getting worse and worse, and I should know, I've been using Sony Ericsson/Sony since 2005 and have owned a lot of their best phones. The XZ1 developed screen problems and earpiece sensor issues, and its wifi reception was pretty bad.

Though still m looking for another s8 dual to which I ll downgrade from pie to android 8 then use both sims plus sd. Any1 who can tell me that is it possible to downgrade from 9 to 8, I talked to software changer he said it's not possible to downgrade from 9 to 8 as samsung has made it difficult now.

Rishi., 08 Nov 2019Sony Xperia xz1 ? Or Samsung S8? Suggest me. Don't buy the XZ1!!! I had used it in the past & it has horrible camera, screen ain't great, mediocre battery life, very slow charging & underwhelming design. If you look at both the phones side by side then you'll surely pick the S8. I'm using the S8+ and it's one of the best phone I've used so far.

MS, 30 Oct 2019Then for how any years more S8 will receive security updates?There has been no end date announced but it should be some time yet based on previous evidence e.g Galaxy S7 still receives updates and even S6 has received at least one update this year (4 years after Launch)
Sorry I cannot be more specific but that's just the way it is.....nothing is set in stone but Samsung do tend to go beyond what is required of them. Now, whether that is good enough or long enough. Well that's a whole different thing.
In short - dont know, it's a bit of a mystery :)

jamal, 28 Oct 2019pls i dnt no hw to insert de 2nd sim at de sd card placeOn a dual SIM S8 you are unable to install two SIM cards AND a MicroSD card at the same time. You can either install two SIM cards or One SIM card and One microSD card.
There were ways that you could get around this ( glue part of SIM to microSD card or buy an adapter) BUT please note and see the posts below from 'Khavi001' because apparently you are not able to do this anymore since the PIE update. I stand to be corrected on this if anyone has successfully been able to do so.

MS, 26 Oct 2019Android 10?No. That's it! PIE was the last. S8 launched with nougat and received Oreo and PIE.
Only security updates from now on which will move from monthly to quarterly eventually.
