If you feel that the notification LED on your Samsung Galaxy S8 is broken and no longer emits light notifications, then you can perform a functional test of the LED. We explain to you here how exactly this works or can be found.

To do this, first of all open the service menu on the Samsung Galaxy S8:

1. Open the phone app and then the keypad

2. Now enter the following code: *#0*#

3. The service menu will now appear. In this case, please select the tile with "LED"

4. On the display first "RED" appears, then "GREEN" and lastly "BLUE"

The notification LED of your Samsung Galaxy S8 should always be lit in the appropriate color. If the LED does that, then everything is okay, or you have to check if there is a software error. (Tip Wipe Cache Partition)

If a color or none of the colors light up, then most likely there is a defect in the LED. You should then make use of the warranty of the Samsung Galaxy S8.

You have now learned a way to test the Samsung Galaxy S8 notification LED for a defect.

If you want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S8 and do not know if the device is Simlock and Netlock free, then you should absolutely test this before the final purchase. The situation usually occurs when buying via eBay etc.

You are on site with the seller, but he does not know himself. So that you do not buy a Samsung Galaxy S8, which is blocked with such a lock, we show you now how to test this easily:

Insert your own Sim card

Take your own Sim card and put it in the Samsung Galaxy S8. Now test whether you can use the phone and Internet function. If this is possible, then there is no Sim or Netlock set.

If the phone does not work, then the smartphone is busy with a sim or netlock.

To remove this lock it usually costs around 100 $, so we recommend you to buy the smartphone only if the seller decreases the price fot this amount.

We hope that you have good luck with your preused Samsung Galaxy S8 and you will enjoy using your smartphone.

There may be problems with your iPhone after the update to iOS 11 with the Bluetooth connection to your Audi hands-free kit or the MMI. These are as follows: After starting the engine (or the ignition), the iPhone connects to the car, but the connection is then automatically disconnected after a certain time.

If this type of Bluetooth connection breakup also applies to your iPhone after updating to iOS 11, then you have the following options to connect you to the Audi handsfree again sensibly:

1. Cancel the pairing in the Bluetooth settings of the iPhone - Reestablishes the connection between iPhone and Audi
2. Check if the latest software is installed on the MMI of the Audi vehicle
3. Reset the MMI of the Audi to factory settings
4. Reset iPhone to factory defaults and try again

We hope that one of the mentioned tips has helped you to connect your iPhone even after the update to iOS 11 with an Audi vehicle via Bluetooth, without constantly disconnections to be expected.

Sometimes it happens that in the status bar of the Samsung Galaxy S8 next to the W-Lan symbol a small exclamation mark appears. This is not always the case, but only at certain times? Then the cause is most likely the following.

The exclamation mark next to the W-Lan symbol appears whenever the connectivity with the Internet is very bad and the device is about to lose the connection, so to communicate with the Internet.

This usually happens when your Samsung Galaxy S8 is far away from your W-Lan router or is generally a problem with your internet provider.

What can you do now to eliminate this problem or the exclamation point in the status bar of the Samsung Galaxy S8? 

1. Restart the Samsung Galaxy S8

2. Restart the router

3. Shorten the distance to the router or set up the router at a new location

4. Check the current interference of your own DSL or cable connection

You can do little else on the other hand. Depending on how often this happens, it might make sense to access a new W-Lan router. You now know why your Samsung Galaxy S8 shows an exclamation mark next to the WiFi symbol.

It may happen that on the Samsung Galaxy S8 you make settings within the Android operating system, which then lead to certain functions no longer working properly. This is the case until you have changed the setting again.

1. From the Home screen, open the app menu, and then click the settings.

2. Tap "General Management" and then click Reset

3. Here you will find "Reset Settings". Select the option and then the "Reset settings" button.

This will reset all customizations such as ringtone, non-interference mode etc. to the basic settings. You should now have no problems with your settings on the Samsung Galaxy S8.
