Just got a Note S and very good it is too.
However i was surprised on first boot up to be taken directly to the homescreen.
You normally get taken to the Google start up screen for language area.
I tried a reset but same again taken directly into the phone without the usual logging into Google.
If i flash the Rom from here http://forum.cubot.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=25 will it reinstate the Google login screen at start up ?
This is the screen i get on start up even after a Reset.

I normally get this google screen at start up on other devices.
I just got one of these and can confirm the behaviour - straight to the home screen with no language prompt. It's the same with the beta version of Marshmallow for it.
Seems there is no way to have the google language screen then.
I have this phone as well, why does it matter?

Has anyone got Samsung dive to work for the new S3?
I have set up the account etc but when I use the website to track my phone or call it etc nothing happens.
I am on the O2 network in London. Any help would be much appreciated.
I set mine up yesterday and it setup fine and all, but when I went to track it...it did indeed track the phone, but it said my phone as at my home address when I was sitting in McDonald's. So...not sure why it did that but that is far from accurate!!
Calling and locating it worked from me with the original firmware. After installing Omega I tried again and it still works.
I cant get it working. I go through the motions as per below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...but remote controls stays "off".
Anyone who has managed to get this set up, at what point does that setting for on/off at the top become available please?

Probably silly question but have you slid the toggle to "ON" - I had that first time as well. Every time you slide the toggle over you have to re-enter your password again.
your 3G enable ?
I eventually got it to slide after various combinations of removing and re-adding the samsung account and ticking / unticking the location tick box

Sounds like you are using ok google through your phone and not through your watch.
what happens when you double tap the watch screen?
Do you get this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
if not, you don't have your watch set up properly.
I know how to use Google Now on smartwatch(like you said - double tap on screen),i am not a "man of the forest" .The problem appears to be due to the fact I selected in Google Now app from the phone my native language who couldn't be used with "Ok Google" either on the phone,either on the smartwatch.I selected "English(US)" and the problem seems to be solved.Thank you anyway.
p.s.: To explain more detailed : The problem was if I say someting on the Google app from the smartwatch with smartphone screen off it loads forever on the smartwatch(the problem seems to be only on languages who don't work native with "OK Google").
Glad you worked it out.
I am positively shocked this is not a larger issue. With the removal of the always listening options for Google Now this devices overall appeal has been greatly limited based kmy needs.
Does anyone in the community know why these features were removed or have any idea on if/when they will return?
with the newest version it's there if you put the widget on homescreen

I have everything up to date including google play services and have placed the widget on the home screen but am still only seeing 1 option. Which is to allow "OK Google" from the app.

That's not the same thing at all. For starters it takes a whole row of icons. Also it will only work when you are on that specific screen. It won't work if you have an app open and most importantly it doesn't work when the screen is off.
This certainly isn't a hardware limitation, but I think Samsung did this to get users to try the new (and greatly improved s voice). I bet their plan is to bring back Google always on detection in a later update after many people try out s voice.
Anyways in the meantime check out s voice, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I know..but all Samsung phones even nexus had have problems with that actual
Since 27/3/18 (2 days ago) I think some virus has infected my phone. My phone is not rooted.
Every time I lock the phone it comes up with, per exempleur, the attached:-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
. Also things like the (see the left-hand side) are popping up all the time. I am going out of my mind!!
I've tried all advice I can see online. I've installed Anti-Adware; Zemana Anti-Virus; MalwareBytes; CCleaner. I've deleted one or two questionable apps (not that they were added in the last two days or anything...). I've also followed the various guides about turning off ad-personalisations and opting out of ads etc through Google settings etc, though they keeps coming up.
What can I do save for factory resetting the entire device? How did this happen?
Interestingly, don't know if it's relevant, though a couple of nights ago (immediately before all this started) I was woken up at 2am by my phone making a horrendous noise. I couldn't turn the noise off I couldn't turn the phone on or off. I had to hold the three buttons and do a hard reboot. It felt like some kind of thing had taken over and I had no control of it. Now it's the same in a way... I think they might be linked.
HELP!!
Back up your data , do factory reset , unistall all app what you don't need if the problem is still there , then the problem is in your firmware .
I had problem with accidentally updating my Oreo 8.1 SGS9+ to Pie while being modded with Swift Installer. It failed. So I had to flash stock Oreo rom with Odin to get it working. I did a factory reset to get it running because it couldn't optimize apps.
On clean Oreo I tried to restore my old progress by logging to my main Gmail. As it always worked on all my devices in the past. But FML now everything refuses to work.
When I tried to log at the welcome screen and restore data from the old device (same model same system) NOT create new it shows something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which is not true, look at my drive -
I'm looking everywhere for a solution as I can't get past welcome screen and i won't create new (exactly same) device because I don't believe at all that Google won't overwrite the data I NEED.
Google support is also on top of **** - https://support.google.com/drive/answer/6305834?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&oco=1 by manage they understand DELETE.
What should I do. I even flashed lineageOS 15 as i thought its Samsung fault as its also based on oreo 8.1
Please help.
I have skipped the welcome screen to add account and see what will be restored. NOTHING no call logs, SMS, calendar, and of course no apps. Play store sees only 10 random apps when I can easily" count on my fingers" to 50
