Don't understand the need to fuss about a device. The two are on differing hardware, and have 2 completely different manufacturers. The 'vibrance' that you are observing color wise on AMOLED screens, is over saturation.

In color accuracy tests, IPS panels generally do better.
[G3 General] SomeGuyDude:
The developer base thing is pretty funny, too, considering that this is a brand new device. No duh the dev base is small in comparison to the years-old Note 2. That's just obvious. It's like joining a gym that just opened up and being mad that it doesn't have more members.
[G3 General] radeonxt:
screen will looked washed out to those used to over saturated colors of samsung's.

poor developer base cos samsung leads and lg is just catching up and g3 has just arrived for most countries worldwide.

over-heating tried enabling both thermal daemon mitigation and high temperature on 10a and 10c, just to see how it performs on gaming mode and it does get very warm. now i'm disabling them both as they were on default, they are their to serve its purpose and the risks just outweighs the slight benefits.

very silent sound, this is where we disagree. since on the other thread i was only able to compare s3's stock sound to g3's stock sound, albeit using gsmarena to compare s3's sound and note 2 thus seeing they're almost similar ; just to be sure i went to my friend who still has his note 2 and compared it to my g3. loudspeaker mode - g3 is better and louder. can't speak for headset mode cos we didn't try.

very bad call on both caller (and receiver) side - mine has good sound quality both on caller and receiver as have many posters here on impression thread, along with reviews from reputable sites. i think there's a thread about bad quality call in q&a section, maybe there's a solution there like using the best type of network available in an area, or enabling lte, enabling voice enhancement or maybe he just had a bad unit.

very rigid firmware, i think you'll have to elaborate more on that one.
[G3 General] deejay6901:
same here.. i like my g3 being simple and dont have too much eye candy to it(over saturated color, hardware button that will be worn out in time etc.) :D
[G3 General] flaring afro:
I came from the Note 2 and this phone is much faster, much lighter, much easier one handed use, much better camera, and doesn't get that hot - it's not uncomfortable to hold and electronics can get surprisingly hot before malfunctioning so I don't think it's an issue. Stock vs stock, the speaker is better quality but the same loudness as the Note 2, but with root you can already turn it up. The screen is noticeable clearer with the higher resolution too, although I think 2k probably was overkill. But it's brighter and easier to see in sunlight. I also have better call quality and signal than my Note 2.

A lot of the things that seem to make the Note so good to you is stuff from mods, and expecting those kinds of tweaks from a phone at launch is just plain stupid.
[G3 General] oneandroidnut:
This is a joke of a review. not saying its the perfect phone in the world but its very nice. AMOLED looks so fake. i have been using note 3 since the day it came out on verizon. i am now comparing G3 to note 3 and OnePlus one but i know nothing. here is my current lineup.

I was disappointed when i had a little lag or stutter in the app drawer and loaded up homescreens. Installed nova and i feel like im on my old m8 with bigger screen. If this phone had sense i would be in love even more. Battery is decent and removable. Dont come bashing a phone coming from a note 2? Really!?!? Dont even get me started please
[G3 General] itch808:
I'm waiting for the arrival of my G3 and coming from a Note 2 as well (also had a S4 that I sold). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Note 2. The only reason I'm even upgrading is because I can. But the Hardware on the G3 is generations ahead. I'm expecting this thing to fly! I'm hoping the camera is improved too.
[G3 General] hello00:
this thread is a joke..how can u compare an old phone with a phone that just came out
[G3 General] han012:
I came from note 2 as well and can vouch for the washed out look if you're used to super amoled. This can be solved by changing the darkness from the accessibility menu.

Other than that, this phone feels faster, knock knock feature is killer, stock LG ui vs touchwiz is a major upgrade, and LG keyboard makes me think that I made a good choice in upgrading.
[G3 General] hack14u:
G3 vs Note 2, that's funny. I have a Note 2 here and it's going on E-Bay this week, and so is my M8. The G3 kills man, just kills.
[G3 General] oneandroidnut:
The colors on amoled are fake looking. I love my note and screen but colors on opo and g3 look a ton more realistic
[G3 General] PrimaryComplex:
In OP's defense I had the exact same reaction coming from the Note 2

.

.

.

.

Then i watched a video on this phone and the colors match LED TVs exactly.

OP is a horrible troll if he didn't even bother to notice how much sharper things are. Colors aren't everything you know.

And about the developer base, the G3 devs are growing and the Note 2 devs are basically, dead. I haven't seen a updated ROM since March 2014.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogermathew:
Hi guys,

I know this is an old topic and I have tried my best to find the answer on the forum. I just received the new 6.07.1540 OTA. I tried to run it but I get the red triangle soon after the install kicks off. First, here is my configuration. My phone is factory unlocked version. I was once on a custom ROM but since I have run RUU and gone stock. I am on Stock Recovery and my bootloader is Relocked. One thing I forgot was my Cid which I changed to superid previously. Since I could not remember my old cid I changed it to HTC_001. I am using the stock recovery corresponding to HTC_001 cid.

I am Rooted and S Off.

I have tried the manual install of OTA using the Vol + - and power button at the red triangle but with the same result. What am I missing? I don't want to wipe my phone again. Is there a way to install this OTA without RUU again?

Please advice...

thanks in advance...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Your stock recovery (5.19.1540.9) and cid (BS_US001) should match the variant/version you are trying to update. Check out this post for information on the OTA requirements and this one on how to find out what error is stopping the update.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
and you don't need to relock bootloader for ota updates.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogermathew:
Thanks for the reply. My recovery version is 5.11.1540.9 (Software Number in Settings). Since I forgot what my Cid was how can I find out the correct cid? I will check out these links as well. The error I am getting is

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
like majmoz said, cid for your OS version is BS_US001

if you have flashed recovery for HTC__001, then you have flashed the wrong one.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogermathew:
thank you guys. As I understand it then I need to

Change my cid to BS_US001 and find recovery corresponding to this cid.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Your stock recovery should be the same as your OS which is 5.11.1540.9. You can extract the recovery.img from the firmware here. Flash it with the instructions below:

In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogermathew:
Ok. Will erasing cache get rid of my data and apps?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
no, erasing cache will erase cache only
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogermathew:
same result...What am I doing wrong. I copied recovery.img into my adb folder and ran the comaands as described. Can "Relocked" Bootloader be causing this?

C:\Users\test\Documents\HTC MiniSDK\mini sdk>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Please advice..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogermathew:
Ok, I fixed it. I used Revone to remove Relocked flag and reran the recovery.img. It was successful. Now I wonder if my OTA will work or do I have to relock the bootloader for OTA to work?????

[Off-topic] SwiftLeeO:
I've been wanting an SSD for a while now, so I went ahead and got a Crucial MX100 512GB SSD. Since before considering the purchase and after the purchase (during the use of it these past three days), I've been researching about things to do and things not to do. Everything from should you defragment your SSD (never) and how can you optimize your SSD. The reason for my post is simple: Will putting my cache & temp files on a RAM disk increase the longevity of the SSD, or is it just wasteful? I've noticed since putting only my cache on RAM (using some configurations that are built into Firefox), the load time of pages seems to have decreased by almost 100 percent. As far as load times go, it seems worth doing. However, does it help the SSD in any significant way or not? I would believe so as it writes less to the SSD than normal cache writes on disk, but I want to know for sure :)
[Off-topic] bsimpson1:
From what I've read, it's definitely not wasteful, and there are definitely benefits such as those that you've already noticed. It absolutely helps the SSD because reading and writing to a RAM fs allows data to be accessed and modified without involving the SSD in any way. I am fairly sure that reading from an SSD does not impact the lifespan, only writing to it does. All of what I'm about to write is specific to linux. The trick you mentioned about firefox is complimented nicely by a script called "profile sync daemon" which syncs all the data of your firefox profile to your SSD before shutdown and copied back into your RAM after each boot so that the data can still be persistent. It's available as a package for many common linux distributions. It seems that since recent improvements in how file-systems are handled, it's possible, assuming the device is of decent quality, for SSDs to likely far outlast the rest of your hardware (outlast either because of the other hardware failure or because of hardware obsolescence) before seeing any noticeable slowdown and especially before complete wear of the SSD . To take advantage of those advancements, you should make sure that you use a filesystem that supports the trim function. Off the top of my head, I know that ext4, xfs, and btrfs support this. It is usually enabled by specifying the "discard" option in fstab. Another way to ensure that unnecessary disk writes don't occur is by disabling or reducing the level of journaling, which can be done in different ways depending on the file system, but in certain cases at the cost of data integrity.

The short answer is that doing what you're doing definitely helps improve the lifespan of the SSD, and I would recommend looking into the trim option that some filesystems offer as well as the journaling options.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hytl:
I just got my GPe and I'm very disappointed with it. It has a yellow tint screen and as I understand there isnt White balance setting on GPE. It also has a problem with the camera. When I'm taking picture, the on screen viewfinder shows a lot of noise. But when I review the pictures, the noise disappeared. Anyone has the same problem?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sadman Khan:
Post processing noise reduction reduces the noise. So it's a good thing
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hytl:
I understand that but during the process of taking picture. There are a lot of noise on the screen. I've never seen anything like this on any other phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sadman Khan:
Yes it's because we have a small lens. The actual image will be much better than that on the viewfinder. It's how Sony does things nowadays. Basically if you took a picture normally without any post processing, you would have gotten that image but since there is noise reduction, we get a better one. It's a small measure to tackle the fact that low light absolutely sucks on this camera

hello,

i am new to the forum and want to thank already for any help i will get.

i have been reading for a while but just got my self in to trouble.

i factory reset the galaxy tab 3 7.0 from my girlfriend and did not realise she had some pictures on she wanted to keep...now she is really upset and i had a read on the internet and found some software to recover lost data.

but for this to work i had to root the device.

any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
Ohk, so first off all, go to www.sammobile.com and search for firmware tab there, click on it, then type in your device's model number in the search box on middle of the page and select firmware of your country and download it (note: you would need to sign up there to download, it's free to sign up there) and extract it to some location (say c:/tab/)

Now when you have downloaded the firmware (now I will refer it as FW), search and download Odin flash tool(version 3.1,or any other will work too) in there just click on ap button and select the md5 file extracted from the zip you downloaded,

It will take a few seconds to verify the md5 and after it is done verifying, you are ready to flash!

You will need to go to download mode, if u dint know how to enter download mode then here's how to, press and hold volume down+home+power keys for some time (if the device is on then you will need holds them fit about 10 seconds, it will reboot to download mode) it will come up with a screen saying "WARNING! FLASHING CUSTOM ROM CAN HAM DEVICE and blah blah" , just press volume up to continue

As I just read, you are already in download mode (Odin mode and download mode are one and the same thing) you can skip the above step, you can not get out of it without pulling battery, and as we can't pull battery of tab, you will need to flash anything to get out of it (remember, flagging wrong thing might brick your device)

And keep in mind that as the process will take about 15 minutes, so you should have enough battery to run it for about 1 hour, I prefer having at least 40%battery

When you enter download mode, connect you device to computer using USB cable and Ogden should say added in the box present in it, and there are some boxes on the upper side of Odin, 2 lines of boxes , one have big boxes aligned and other have rectangular boxes aligned below the bigger ones, the first rectangular box should turn "light blue" in color and it confirms that your device is connected!

Now see if re-partition is not checked, if it is checked and you start the process then you will brick your device instantly! If, but any ways, it is checked, then uncheck it and click start, it will take some time to finish the process, may be around 10-15 minutes, and after that you will be booted to android os! You can now use your device as it was before all the mess you created!

Go ahead and try this, it should work and bring your device back to life ;) and just saying that, if by any means or any problem occurred and your device is not working anymore, don't point the figure at me, because I can only tell what to do, it's your choice to opt it or not

But there's only 0.001% chance that anything may go wrong, unless you unplug the cable in between the process of flashing

If the process don't help in once, just redo the process of flashing again and if it again don't work, just factory reset it and it should not to android

First boot will take some time, about 2-3 minutes, so don't panic, just keep calm

Hit thanks of I helped :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeSchu:
amazing mate...got it running again....so simple if you know what you are doing :)

now if i ask another question... is it possible to retrieve data (ie pictures) from before the factory reset?

thanks D
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sscsps:
In My opinion, yes or no, if you found anything that says it can retrieve things after format then you can always go ahead and try it out, the worst can happen is you get in a bootloop or someway you won't be able to boot to android, and as now you have what it takes to recover from that(my above post) , you are ready to take the risk!

I dint think there's an app (yet) that can recover data after format on Android, there's a software for Windows that can recover data after deleting them, but not after format

As formatting android don't actually format the drive, I think we can retrieve data, but I had not found any app for that yet

Just to tell you, the difference between permanent delete and format is that, permanent delete deletes the data but can not delete the signature of the files, and a file can be recovered by just it's signature, and formatting deletes all the signatures from the drive,

Some times, files can be recovered also after format, that can happen if you don't format all the drives, the files do create there signatures in other drives too!

So, good luck for finding a solution for recovering files after factory formatting, and I would like to request you that if you find a working solution then please share, it might help anyone! :)

I ran this on my MDK device before I hade to send it in and is currently working with my NC5 device as well. I've also ran this on the NC2 leak. I think it'd be safe to run on 4.2.2 up to 4.4.2. The apk in the stock zip I pulled from NC5.

Made a MusicPlayerWT widget requested by [MENTION=5912124]ahien147[/MENTION].

This is for the stock Samsung music player. I have a NC5 device and that is what I tested it on.

The zip file I put it in will delete your existing one so make a backup or using a file explorer go to system/app/MusicPlayerWT.apk and rename it by adding .bak after apk. Should look like this MusicPlayerWT.apk.bak

I change the black circle used to define the buttons to a circle of sparks. I wanted something to define the buttons and when editing the stock images the black circle always ended up looking messed up and it just never looked right to me.
