All my research on the web shows that galaxy s8 in north american has a snapdragon processor which allows fm radio use through the nextradio app. but when I tried to install the app I received message that the device does not have access to fm radio. Has anyone else had this problem?

Retired it fo... moreI have the samsung galaxy s8 active and my experience with it has been mostly positive. I find it to be a very rugged phone. I do not have a case on it and have dropped it pretty bad a few times and its still in good shape. I do have a tempered glass screen protector on it to protect the screen because they are designed to shatter before the screen and so far that as proven to be the case. However i did have a major issue for about a month where my phone decided to say my charging port was wet and would not charge my phone. What a pain in the ass that was. I figured out how to get it to charge somehow and now have not seen that again since. Not sure if it was a system bug or not because my phone has never been wet, plus this phone is supposed to be water resistant. Apparently up to 3 meters for up to 30 mins but i call bullshit based on that little problem i had. Phone runs good but i recommend being careful with what you download and do regular maintenance to it. Good quality video and pretty fast processor. I give it a 7 out of 10 overall. Afterall it is technology and technology is not full proof. Hope this helps. I do recommend getting a wireless charger and have it on hand if and when you get that pesky moisture detected in charging port fault. It will be a lifesavor if it happens to you.

This phone is NOT shockproof and NOT waterproof. Phone dropped flat on hardwood floor and screen cracked. This is just the same screen as their other phones. They did not use the shatterproof screen like the S7 Active. A rainy day can make the screen fog up and the charge port fail. What a total waste of money. I should have gotten a Pixel and added a good waterproof case.

I am torn between choosing the OnePlus 6T or the Samsung S8 Active. I currently have a S6 active and it still looks and works like it did on day 1. I like the durability of the active models, but the 6T just looks like a superior phone tech-wise. So I'd like to hear opinions for and against to help me choose. Active has an SD Card slot capable of 512GB but 2GB less ram, Active has larger battery but what looks to be slower and older OS/chipset/CPU/GPU. Price is not a deciding factor.
In a nutshell, I am a family man who mainly uses his phone as, well, a phone. Never watched any movies on it, have watched a handful of youtube videos when really bored, have a handful of small simple games (like puzzles) to pass time periodically (nothing too complex) take pictures of my family and pets periodically as well, never really take any videos, I don't have social media so selfies and such never take place.
Looking forward to your thoughts!!

phone design to last for a year
I got this phone for it advertising on being extra resistant and to have extended life battery, well after a year of using it the battery life reduce to 2 - 3 hours, in regular use, i still have active warranty so i sent it back for repair, after a couple of days they came back to me to tell me i have to pay 500 for the repair because it has scratches in the back cover. they refused to service my phone under warranty.
worst part of the story, i had the Samsung galaxy active 7, same issue, but this one last around 14 months, so when i try to go for warranty, it was already out, that's why i really think they are design to last for a year.
For me samsung is over, i will go to OnePlus now.

Let me start off by saying I've been a long-time active fan I've had the Samsung 5 Active 6 active which five was the best platformer ever 6 they dropped the ball on not being able to add external memory the seven did not get a chance to try it but the 8 active it depends on what you use it for I think the Bigsby system should have been able to deactivated completely it should have been optional I voice text and it does not work well with Bigsby I've had the problem since day one and I hate to hear that there's no longer going to be an active line they're very tough phones long battery excellent pictures then waterproof and sometimes the health side of the phone help but overall if anyone is looking at this post I think they seriously drop the ball on the 8 active it had so much more potential JustFab making Bixby system the Mainstay of the phone really ruined the phone especially you look weird talking to your phone in public but it was a good concept it should have been able to deactivate or disabled

Gave me many years of service. Retired it for an iPhone 8, but always been curious about the Active S8! Looks awesome but read it wasn't as tough and hard to repair on top of the buggy updates. Also the cancer stuff I had seen online was a weird series of complaints from people. But really want this phone bad
