Customers seeing red on Galaxy S8, Samsung promises software fix

While most new owners of the Galaxy S8 are satisfied with their purchase, a few have reported seeing red on their devices. Thankfully, Samsung is quick on its toes in addressing these concerns.

The Korea Herald reports that a few Galaxy S8 phones have been showing a distinctly red hue on their screens. Samsung then confirms that a software upgrade will be rolled soon to address the reports of “dissatisfied customers.”

“Because there are some complaints about the red-tinted screens, we decided to upgrade the software next week for all Galaxy S8 clients,” says a Samsung spokesperson to The Korea Herald.

Furthermore, another update will come out by the end of April for a more minute tweaking of the color revisions.

Considering what Samsung has been through, a little red on the screen should be easily remedied with an OTA update. Alfred Bayle/JB

Apple iOS 10 update causing problems for some iPhone users

Apple had been heavily marketing the new iOS update a couple of months back but when the time came for it to be released, trouble brewed as multiple complaints about the update streamed over social media.

For some users, the update process would fail and would be accompanied by a message asking them to plug the iOS device into a PC or Mac for complete system restoration, reports The Verge.

A spokesperson from Apple said in a statement to The Verge, “We experienced a brief issue with the software update process, affecting a small number of users during the first hour of availability. The problem was quickly resolved and we apologize to those customers.”

Although the initial installation bug proved to be a major headache for a number of affected users, Apple says this has been fixed and that their customers will now be able to safely update their iOS 10 devices. But just in case, it would be wise to keep a backup for an iOS device before proceeding with the update.  Alfred Bayle
