2 Ways How To Make Your Samsung Galaxy S8 Faster [VIDEO]

It’s almost common knowledge that Samsung smartphones become slow over time. Even though the Galaxy S8 is much faster than its predecessors, many users are starting to experience lag which is likely a symptom of Samsung’s TouchWiz Skin. In this article, we are going to provide a couple of solutions that you can try in order to fix the TouchWiz lag on your Samsung Galaxy S8.

Step 1: Update Official Touchwiz Home

Fortunately, it seems Samsung has been aware of the user interface fluidity problems and has provided an update to fix some of the issues. Users will need to go into the Galaxy apps and locate Official Samsung TouchWiz Home to update. Afterwards, you may notice that animations have improved with the lag being not as noticeable as before.

If you feel as if this had little impact on your Galaxy S8, there is a second option available to you.

Step 2: Turn Off Animation Scale

A some-what more permanent solution to the problem could be to check and change the animations of your Galaxy S8. Samsung adds a lot of animation effects to their devices when opening apps or windows, they may be neat but they can affect the performance. Decreasing the settings can do wonders. To adjust these settings, you will need to locate Developer Options within your Galaxy S8.

• Go into Settings
• Scroll down to About Phone
• Tap on Build Number seven times
• Within Developer Options, Scroll down to Animation Scale
• Turn off Window Animation Scale, Animator Duration Scale, and Transition Animation Scale.
• You may need to restart your S8 to feel the changes.

Your phone should immediately feel faster because everything is opening with less animations.

Sources Claim Samsung Will Announce Galaxy Note 8 in August

Samsung’s Galaxy Note phones have traditionally been unveiled in September, until last year’s Note 7 disrupted that trend with an August 19 announcement date.

And now according to sources, the Galaxy Note 8 could see an announcement similar to it’s predecessor. The sources claim that Samsung has decided to “accelerate the launch of the Galaxy Note 8,” to get a head start on the upcoming Apple iPhone 8.

It was expected that Samsung would take more time in releasing the Note 8 to ensure the launch went off without a hitch. However, it seems that the company is looking to steal the thunder from the release of Apple’s next iPhone.

The Note 8 is expected to have an impressive screen-to-body ratio, like the S8+ and a dual camera lens setup. August is only two months from now, so we’ll have to wait and see what Samsung does with their phablet.

Samsung Reportedly Skipping Display-Integrated Fingerprint Sensor On Galaxy Note 8

A render has just surfaced online which may have given us our first glimpse of the Galaxy Note 8.

If you’re​ thinking that it looks similar to a Galaxy S8, you wouldn’t be wrong. Recent leaks and rumors have been pointing to a similar design featuring the Infinity Display. Its also expected to have a dual-camera on the back and of course, a detachable S Pen.

However according to a new report, Samsung has decided against installing a display-integrated bio metric sensor on the Note 8 because the technology isn’t as secure.

A Samsung official said, “We made every effort to install a display-integrated fingerprint sensor on Galaxy Note 8, but we decided not to install it on this strategic phone due to various technical limitations such as security.”

Additionally, rumors are circulating claiming that Samsung is planning to unveil its next Galaxy Note in late August ahead of the iPhone 8 announcement. Its certainly plausible but only time will tell whether the new rumor is true or not.

How To Completely Disable, Deactivate, Remove or Turn Off Samsung Bixby Without Root [VIDEO]

Is it just us or does it seem like with each new phone comes some sort of new virtual assistant? Some of these phones are even starting to come with two assistants.

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy S8/S8+ with their very own virtual assistant called Bixby in addition to the Google Assistant. Although, most of Bixby's common functions such as weather insights, search results and making calls are all doable through Google. Because of this unnecessary redundancy, we have put together a quick guide to help you remove Samsung's Bixby.

How to Disable Bixby on Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus

1. Download BK Package Disabler (Samsung) from the Play Store. Yes, it costs $1.49.
2. Launch app and slide over to the right for SYSTEM
3. Apply check marks to all Bixby functions to disable. Full list below.

And that's all there is to it. From this moment on, Samsung's Bixby will be deactivated from your phone.

*Disclaimer* disabling system applications may cause some functions to not work properly. Disable at your own risk.

Random Restarts Added To The List Of Issues Plaguing The Galaxy S8

Several Galaxy S8 users have taken to forums to gain more information about their brand new handsets restarting for no apparent reason.

The issue is compounded by an overall system slowdown with excessive CPU load. The restarts even continue when using the phone in safe mode and after a complete restore. One user reported their new smartphone locking up to a black screen, with a hard reset being the only solution.

The problem seems to be affecting units on most US carriers and possibly other global carriers. Samsung has yet to provide a response on the matter, although it is hard to say if they are aware or not.
