Samsung Galaxy S8

I am thankful that they have fixed the wireless charging. I have battled for months since getting the phone. I had to always move the phone around on the pad until it beeped, now I put it in the cradle and it charges straight away.

Ive never really had a problem, but two days before the update i did have an issue where i would put the phone on the charger, and then when I look over at it, the blue light will be blinking and the phone not charging.

Which charger fanie? The free bundled one, or the newer one?

A reset fixed the problem and the update is now downloading. I have just one question, what if the Wi-Fi signal is slow? Will we have calls like the crappy whatsapp calls?

Also, how come I do not see VoLTE icon at all. 4g shows up. I know for a fact that it is activated due to the hassle I had to go through to activate on a business contract.

The free bundled upright one. Not the new one.

Tested that last night on a slow wifi...absolutely terrible. Took long to connect and quality was as bad as whatsapp call on same wifi.

My father used wifi calling on his phone on CellC. He was complaining that everyone said they can't hear him. So I deactivated wifi calling on his phone and problem sorted.

It's not active for everyone yet, it's offline for the iPhone people too, but I'm special.

Just to throw my two cents in the pot. This speed meter works really well (separate upload and download). Been using it for quite a while: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andcreate.app.internetspeedmonitor
