[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hotleadsingerguy:
CinemaQuest, a random home cinema company, recommends 6500K ambient lighting in their cinema builds because it's a natural light (equivalent to the mid-day sun, as they say). Again...that doesn't make it pure white. This part of the conversation really isn't going anywhere. I never said 6500K is subjective...I said pure white is subjective. Do some more research before you make comments on color temperature again, please. Not articles by reviewers or home theater companies. Subjectivity kind of ruins the 'what is pure white' discussion, but it's the reason reviewers can greatly disagree on which phones can reproduce the most pure white.

And you may be younger than me...I have no idea. I'm 28 and was special operations in the military with 40/20 vision when I was around 23 (when I enlisted), but maybe your vision is better than mine. Either way, even if I'd be considered average that means most people would have trouble with the screen in bright sunlight. I just asked a few coworkers to look at the screen when we were outside for a walk and, without prompting, said it was hard to see anything on the screen. I'm using powersaving mode and Auto brightness, so if there's something I'm missing, please let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
lol actually I'm older than you (30). I'm also in the military so right on for your service; I'm going on 11 years now. Now I feel bad for bustin the chops of a fellow serviceman...Anyway, I see what you're saying. 6500k white point is standard but "pure white" is subjective because every human eye sees things differently. Especially when you're used to seeing something over time, some screens look on the "warmer" side of the spectrum and some look on the "cooler" side (like my Charge)

To your last statement, yes! Powersaving mode does dim the screen a little more in all aspects of auto brightness. I says it in the description in the phone, but I just tested outside just now to verify. It is noticeable, though slight. Also, the "Auto adjust screen tone" setting under the Display options can effect white screen brightness I've heard too, so disable that if it isn't already and see if those things do anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hotleadsingerguy:
That could be why it's so hard to see outside. I'm not sure what the difference really is when using Power Savings mode, but if it lets me see it outside it's worth turning off. Auto Adjust Screen Tone is on, as well, but I didn't think it affected brightness. I know it changes color tones, but thought it kept brightness where it should be.

BTW, I'm not saying 6500K is dark blue or something...I just mean that when put next to the iPhone 5 it's noticeably warm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
That makes sense that the 7250K temp of the iPhone 5 would appear cool compared with the 6500K+ S4. Compared to my girlfriend's iPhone 4S, they're pretty similar. Another thing I like about AMOLED's compared to the Rezound at least was at night, the Rezound was never quite dim enough and always seems to emit light (which makes sense). The S4 feels more comfortable on the eyes in dimmer light for sure.

In regards to Power savings mode, of the three options available to disable/enable, Screen power saving states "Use low power level for screen." From the manual: Screen power saving: When enabled, the screen uses

reduced frame refresh rate and lower brightness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hotleadsingerguy:
Alright, I set it manually to Photographer Pro mode, disabled the Auto Display mode (whatever it's called...I forgot already), and turned off Power Savings.

Now I just want to know how much Power Savings actually saves per day...I'd need to get a baseline though. I plug my phone in too much at work to really know how well it would last throughout the day. Maybe this weekend I'll test it Saturday and Sunday, with one day being on and the other off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
I just need to ask this.

The CASE market can't be for real. It has to be a made up scare tactic. Sure a few people drop their phones, but that's what the insurances are for. This same fear spread in the 80's with cars and people practically bubblewrapped their cars with nose guards, door bumper guards, light covers, etc... Eventually people realized that the beautiful cars they bought were covered up with hideous protections.

With cell phone companies battling it out over little things like chrome on the sides, or colors, i can't understand the urge to buy a phone that is also a piece of art and then quickly put screen protectors and case covers over it. When someone hands me their iphone 5 or 4 (i can't tell them apart) and it's in a case that makes their phone bigger than the Note II and with screen protectors that make their DPI's look terrible, i just look and laugh. I've had cell phones for 15 years and never put a case/screen protector nor scratched the screen and/or device. I don't drop my phone. Treat your phone like it's expensive, because it is, and you won't drop it. If you do drop it often, then just buy the insurance. It will be cheaper than some of these cases and will allow you hold and look at your art piece the way it was intended.

Maybe it's just me, but i don't drop expensive computers. People who work with computers/laptops, learn to not drop a laptop. Are people forgetting that these devices are expensive little computers that cost more than most laptops? I personally think cases are a scare tactic, is it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
Just curious, what mode did you have it before Photographer Pro? Testing power savings would be tough. Everyday is different with different amounts of screen on/off, texts, phone calls, etc. Probably the best route is to take an average of Power Savings on during a week, then the same with it off another week and take note of the % at the end of the day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hotleadsingerguy:
I also don't carry my laptop around with me pretty much 24/7. I don't take it into situations where it could be damaged. I don't take it into situations where it could rain and get wet. I don't take it into situations where...

I've dropped my phone a few times. Whether it's because I stupidly had the phone sitting on my lap in the car and got out without thinking, it fell off a table when someone hit it (the table), or it fell out of my pocket because of the way I was sitting or the way the pockets in my pants were hemmed. It's fairly common.

And you can't tell the difference between an iPhone 4 and iPhone 5?

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

I had it on Auto. I left it there because of the power savings. I thought it just changed the color saturation because I hadn't read the manual.

We'll see how it goes. I have it off now and it's pretty close to what it normally is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
I completely agree with you. I think the phone should be displayed for what it is. The S4 is the first phone I got a case for. I wouldn't have even gotten one, but I saw too many threads on here about screens cracking while in a pocket (not sure I believe that tho). Honestly though, I think a phone as thin as the S4 should have a case or SOMETHING to give it some more "gripability." To me, having this case gives it a better hand feel and I feel like I can baby it a lot less. I wrote more about this in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42732529&postcount=201
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
Like i said, i don't drop phones, but my son has, and i do buy him cases since he uses it like a fool. One time he didn't have a case and dropped it because he felt the need to take his cell with him and texted while on a skateboard. Yes it broke. As long as the phone is under a year old, any major damage to it should be covered by the manufacturer warranty. He's broken 3 phones even with cases (i'm not sold that cases prevent damages btw), and in each 'case', the cell phone company, Verizon / Tmobile/ATT, each sent me a replacement in the mail. When he dropped his verizon fascinate, they even upgraded him to a 4G droid charge for free. So it appears that cases add heft, don't really protect, and the phone is warrantied against damage anyhow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tomaslxix:
I don't really feel like getting involved in this whole argument but this whole statement seems pretty off to me...

A. It seems pretty logical to me to bring your cell phone with you when you do something like go skateboarding. If somebody got hurt, it'd be a lot easier to contact help. But that's beside the point. B. In my experience phone manufacturers are not very sympathetic when damage done to a phone is from drops, falls, etc. I've watched many a person argue for long periods of time with AT&T and Verizon reps that they 'barely' dropped it and it's not their fault. Maybe you are really charming or super-attractive, but that seems pretty unlikely to me. 3. I completely understand the pros and cons of using the using-a-phone-case debate. I have an S3 and its not nearly as pleasant/pretty in my case. Some are not willing to make that sacrifice, I am. But how can you argue that cases prevent damage? If you wrap something in rubber/silicone/plastic/etc and drop it, it will irrefutably come out less damaged than if it were not wrapped... I dropped my phone once without a case and it cost me $180 to get the screen replaced. I've dropped it about 5 times in my case and its doing fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
Plus as I said, having this case makes the phone feel better in the hand and is easier to hold, thus decreasing chancing of me dropping it. If that's all it does, it's worth it to me. This phone is just so skinny.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hotleadsingerguy:
If your cases haven't protected the phone then you need to get different cases. I use the Otterbox Commuter on pretty much every phone I've owned in the past year or 2 and it's been *phenomenal*. I got the iPhone 5 on launch day and on day 3 shattered the screen because it slid out of my car (the glass and aluminum are very slippery) and hit the pavement. It fell maybe a foot and the screen looked like it got run over by a Mack truck.

With a commuter, I can drop my phone from 6ft up onto concrete without a scratch. Even the case is hard to scratch, but the phone itself is almost completely insulated from drop damage. Unless it's a tough phone that's made to absorb drops, I would never own another phone that's not in a case again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chamberc:
Never use cases... keep insurance, but haven't had to use it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Broken:
If the LCD screen is close to that of the HTC one I'd lose a couple megapixels just for that. Miss my One's screen. GS4 sucks in sunlight and I'll trade black level for non bluish whites anyday...

:rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
You've got that one right! I think though it's my ability to drive a point, such as this. I start out a conversation when i have a broken phone like this.

#611

"Please get me over to customer retention"

...

"I'd like to terminate this line".... ''"why""

"dropped my phone, not going to keep paying for a line".... "ETF"

"that's fine, still cheaper than paying out a line for 2 years" "hold on, what if i get you a replacement tomorrow"...

I have exactly the opposite problem: my GS4 is insanely yellow-tinted--even on the coldest preset. Next to my calibrated monitor, it looks about pee-colored.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cromo8:
I just got throttled for the first time in almost 4 years with T-Mobile I have to say it is the worst experience ever and I can feel your pain if you have been here before. I am on an old unlimited myfaves plan still with unlimited data(5GB) but has never ever been enforced I usually do about 8-10GB and most was 19GB. For the first time ever since using this new phone with the new APN it slowed me down without even using 5GB according to my phone from cycle to today I'm at 3.7GB. I'm not sure if anyone has experienced anything similar?

I was able to go back to old APN as I do not have LTE here and my speed was fully restored. But the new one still slowed down.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] No_Nickname90:
What is saying you used 3.7GB? The phone? Like through Data Usage within settings? Did you make sure the time frame was adjusted correctly? I know you can slide the silders to make sure it's from the start of your cycle to the end. I don't think it defaults to that making it seem like you've used less data.

Also, I recommend downloading Tmobile My Account out of the PlayStore. That will tell you exactly how much data Tmobile is saying you're using. Although I've never heard of cases, Data Usage in settings does say the data there may be different than what your carrier says.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] paniro187:
Anyone else having this issue? A lot of times it doesnt see my back ups either.......

Did you flash a cm10 ROM before this happened?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] paniro187:
I have flashed a cm10 Rom didn't like it and tried some others.....
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] unremarked:
Android 4.2.2 added the ability for multiple users. All of your downloads/backups/files are now under a folder called 0(for the first user). Or at least, they should be. You may need to manually relocate them there in order for TWRP to see it. If you're wanting to go back to a 4.1.2 ROM, you need to delete the folder 0.

If Android has already moved all of your files to folder 0, you need to pull off what you want to back up onto your computer then delete the folder. Don't just move them out of the folder. When I ran into this issue, I did that--simply moved everything out of file 0 and back into normal internal storage. Apparently, when you delete file 0 it gives the command to wipe all internal storage. At least, it did for me. So move everything to your computer first, delete, then move back.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] paniro187:
Yep thanks. As soon as the other guy replied I knew what happened lol. Close threead thanks fellers

Why you want to relock with custom ROM. it's not regain your warranty.

I think it will happen brick if you relock the bootloader. Not sure. You will receive a best answer from a developer.

i just wanted to check what would happen:p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SRChiP:
Then phone won't boot

This reply might be too late, but it might help someone else;

If you relock the bootloader after custom kernel, the phone won't boot. You'll have to flash the stock kernel after that to make the phone work.

This happened to me when recovering the TA partition which also locks the bootloader. It was an Xperia Acro S, but I think the same applies to all Sony ones.

Hi All

I'm looking to install this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2234221 on to my galaxy ace and have a question about formatting the SD card for it.

It talks about ext-4 partition and I was wondering what size to format the partition if using an 8gb card?

I was thinking - 1gb for the ext-4 and the rest for fat32?

halp please

What class is your sdcard? Are you planning to use int2sd?

[General Questions and Answers] Sib64:
You must used the Fire Kernel because you don't have a 4Ext partition

and with Swap kernel and a Sdcard Class 6, you need a 4Ext partition.

So finally, it will depend of the choice of your kernel, and the better choice if you use the Swap kernel, it's to format all in 4Ext

And if you want an another answer, go to post here, you can do without problem ;)

I am going to get a class 10 8gb card this weekend. the swap kernel is what I was going to use.

Why should I format the whole card in 4ext? If I do that, I won't be able to add files from my windows 7 PC will I??? I just don't know much about ext4. I do store some music and stuff on it.

Thanks so much for your help
[General Questions and Answers] Sib64:
Which recovery do you use ?

I wrote a mistake about to format whole sdard to 4Ext :(

1 - You must have 1 Fat32 partition and 1 EXT4 partition on your sdcard

2 - If you rather use a computer for creating and formatting partitions keep in mind that both partitions must be primary partitions (not logical)

3 - The recommended size of your EXT4 partition is depending on how many roms and apps you are going to install.. 512M is the minimal size

Go to one of the links that I've wrote above and sent your question.
[General Questions and Answers] pamtayls:
Thanks, I didn't see your links in the first post. Will go check them out. at the moment I have the base CM7 ROM on the phone if that helps with which recovery I use.

again thanks heaps!!! and I will go to those links now

I'm receiving 2 phones that I will not be using or responsible for being initially setting them up. If like to remove ask the bloat apps before handing them over, but am concerned that I woo will screw them over if anything happens to their phone.

I'm essentially looking for opinions of you think it'd be beneficial to the new users enough to be worth the time and effort.

Also, would rooting it, then unrooting it be considered voiding the warranty if anything were to happen it? Should I use triangle as well?

Looking for any suggestions on the matter!

As some of you may or may not know Hechoen has received a ban from the forums. The ban is his first and is for ten days. The reason for the action was "Disrespectful attitude towards moderator." Some background follows. He was PM'd by a mod to remove his avatar within 48 hours. The mod seemed to think that it could be offensive to some members. His avatar has been around for a long time and was a cartoon of a guy giving the middle finger with the words "Censor this!". As we all know an avatar is an extension of your online personality. To get an idea of whether or not the community found it offensive he posted a question about it in the off-topic thread(that he created). He never named the mod or said anything "disrespectful" towards the mod. Within minutes the post was deleted and he was banned. So I ask any of you that think this action unfair to please respond here. Also feel free to PM a mod(or five) with a link to this thread. If others believe this to be unfair and we unite as a community maybe, just maybe, we'll make a difference.
