Mine has been like that too. Sometimes the cable just falls out when I'm using the phone or it shows slow charging until I remove and plug in the cable again.

I see the Oreo is rolling again, Germany at least according to over at xda. Snagged the update.zip so may give it a go. Not that I've had any issues with the CRAP update.

I had this, had some fluff stuck right at the back of the socket. A pair of needle nose tweezers sorted it out.
Did the latest last night and so far all fine.
Something like the pointy bit of a plastic tooth pick was my tool of choice. Sometimes gets bits of debris, fluff or chaff stuck up inside the usb port, stopping the charge cable going in fully.
For anyone who wants to change the colour of the bottom bar, I followed this guide and it was quick and simple:

Yeah absolutely, anything sufficiently pointy will do. I'm a bit of a DIY electronics guy so i have upteen pairs of tweezers in my toolbox lol

Oh that's really not recommended. Samsung limited the colour choices because of screen burn, and the s8 is definitely susceptible to it. It's really not a good idea!
that was first thing Ive done - happens a lot with micro usb ports - but that isn't the case this time
Crap, thanks for the heads up!
Download the update.zip from link below (from XDA) and install via recovery. Might sort it for you. I've done just that. No issues.

Is that the latest (fixed) version update, or the crap version. And is that Russian link safe?
I was a little cautious of the Russian link but others reported it OK and downloaded it myself. Yes it's the fixed version that is larger than the previous CRAP version. Baseband is still CRAP after the update. Don't what changed if anything but been on the beta then the CRAP final and now the fixed version and not had any problems. XDA thread...

I should add my phone is an S8 (G950F)
This only works if you're already on the CRAP version though, yeah?
Still waiting for the OTA update from the last beta and it's driving me mad.

How can I turn off vibration in the Amazon app? I don't mind when it alert me PersonX has commented on the same thing as me but i would quite like it if it didn't vibrate.
Weirdly can't find an option in the app.

My wife has cracked the screen on her S8, whilst also deciding she'd prefer to go back to Apple. I've sorted her out with a refurbished iPhone 6s, which leaves me with a broken-screened Galaxy S8 that I don't need.
Music Mapgie are offering £95 for them with a broken screen. Are there any more efficient ways to get something back for it? It's hard to nail down a repair price online and I doubt fixing the phone first will be worth the investment. I won't be sticking it on Ebay since I don't want the potential hassle.

I'm not sure. I was on crap update from the final beta. You can probably find the original crap update. Expect I still have it. Might be able to install the last update via recovery without installing the crap update if you're on the last beta release. Don't do it on my say so! There isn't a lot between the last beta and the latest full release so I'd not bother yourself waiting for Samsung to push it as don't think you'd notice the difference. May be a little faster..
