[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amb669:
This would all depend on the way you use your phone.

A. If you're a heavy user, (games & movies n stuff) then lower resolutions would benifit tons.

B. If you're a light user, (texts & emails n stuff) then the higher resolutions are very efficent.

There is a common misconception going around about this screen requiring alot of power.

The screen isn't what is draining the device so bad, it's the gpu powering the immense amount of pixels that is causing the power drain.

Now taking that into consideration, there is 3 things to keep in mind.

1. You're still lighting up 3,686,400 mini lightbulbs (aka pixels) no matter what resolution you run at.

2. Lower resolutions = less power draw from the gpu, mostly when the gpu is under higher loads.

3. The gpu doesn't require much power while under lighter loads

So to sum it up

Higher resolution + Very graphic intensive = Heavy power draw from the gpu

Lower resolution + Very graphic intensive = Medium power draw from the gpu

Higher resolution + Not graphic intensive = Low power draw from the gpu

Lower resolution + Not graphic intensive = Low power draw from the gpu

As you can see, under lighter loads 2560x1440 is extremly efficent and preferable by myself, but under heavier loads (games and stuff) 1920x1080 is far more power efficent on the gpu (if your games will even run), once we get a custom kernel for our phones a slight gpu underclock would be MUCH more effective than lowering your resolution.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisM75:
All this talk of lowering the resolution to save power is rubbish, it doesn't work. Its just a placebo.

By far the biggest cause of drain on the battery from the screen is the backlight, not the resolution. Changing it to a lower resolution doesnt actually change anything, the GPU isnt even trying even at 1440P, it never scales past the second step (330MHz) in 2D. The only thing stopping the GPU from being able to display 4K or even 8K is the bandwidth, not the GPUs power. 2D is effortless for the GPU.

If you reduce the resolution to 1080P the GPU has to rescale that image to 1440P in order to fill the screen (the actual screen resolution is fixed and cannot be changed). All this does is add an extra layer of processing and costs you processor cycles.

In games this changes somewhat, but the effect isnt as big as some like to think. The GPU is still memory bandwidth limited in 3D even at 1440P, not power limited. To prove the point in Basemark X the G3 scores higher than the N5 and almost as high as the M8 and S5, despite having double the pixels.

I bought it for the resolution.. I'm not turning it down.. Otherwise I would have just bought an S5 Or a freeking iphone lmfao

Greetings everyone;

I am a frustrated Samsung User (i9003) and as many people here i am without imei on my device.

I understand a bit of programming (c# actually) and want to make or help making an app to re-write the imei.

Idea is to access the efs partition; re write imei and update device.

Theorically it is do-able.

Any ideas on how to do this or anyone more skilled that can make the app?

I hope this isnt found as a way to do illegal stuff as my intent is to repair my phone with my imei.

Thanks in Advance

Remove branding

just saw an article in Pop Sci about using a (dry) sugar cube to remove the branding without scratching. DRY. Apparently, if it's wet, it scratches. The original instructs are here:

http://www.instructables.com/id/EFHU5V6TKYERIE2SMP/

Caveat: I have NOT tried this, but it looks good as long as you're a little patient.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I take it you mean this one:p :p

By the way I see the newest release of sugarcubes logo removal v1.4 is out of beta and now has a surprising list of freebies

1. A lifetiime subscription to the East India Tea Company

2. a 100 pack of those dinky little Milk cartons

3. A maid called Fifi who gives a hand polish to your Tytn

4 A "design your own logo" stencil

There are still a few complaints though, that research is showing screen deterioration due to sugar acid build up. This can lead to cavities developing. XDA-Developers official Wiki guidance is to take your Hermes for a 6 monthly check up and have any cavities seen to immediately before serious decay occurs.

Any resolution suggested for Svoice?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] js349:
Svoice isn't working for me after the update either. I would also like a resolution. When I try to open it I get "connection failed".

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] speedme:
I didn't update yet to the new Gear Manager, although I received the notification that an update is available.

I've read the reviews and saw that some guys had problems, so I decided to wait.

My Gear 1 works perfectly now with Null_23 and I only want to update if the new Gear Manager brings additional features which are worthwhile.

Can someone tell if the new Gear Manager brings new things ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Moneyhead:
Another update for Gear Manager is out!!!

I but I cannot check it, because I left my (non working) Gear at home
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
My Svoice had started working again for no apparent reason since my OP.

Unfortunately now saproviders is going nuts again with a force close every 2 seconds while connected ON phone Galaxy S4. And my clearing data with TIBU trick no longer is working as a solutions.

Tired of these constant Gear Manager updates and messing stuff up. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
I got another update today, and it did not fix anything. I'm really pissed!

Notifications are off...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] speedme:
I still didn't update my Gear to the newest version (still on version before the 18th of September).

Can someone tell me what's new in the latest version ?

Is it worth upgrading ?

And I really hate that after each upgrade of Gear Manager, the watch is resetted and I have to install everything (I'm on Null 23).

Does someone know a way to backup all data and restore it ?

Can I use Titanium Backup ?

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
How do you turn off updates? There is no such option.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Pugmilamber:
Do you never install new apps on ur phone? Don't ever need to set up notifications? No? "just setup and leave it" isn't really a solution to the problem but thanks for ur effort.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 440bro:
I'm sorry I mislead you. Updates in gear manager are for the gear. You need to turn off automatic updating in Samsung's apps settings.

Ahhh! Nice one, that seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the help :) you're a star!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] djskipellis:
turn off updates

"Turn off updates" would you please elaborate on that? I tried turning off every update I could find related to the gear(1 null 23) and it still tries to update. When it does say update needed I can't stop it. It will shut Down the gear manager....Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RBarr:
Purchased a Galaxy Gear S yesterday and I'm having these problems. No sync of contacts. Inability to transfer files from the phone to the watch. Inability to install apps. (Tries and fails). I can receive phone calls and some notifications on the watch. Everything else is dead.

From an OOBE perspective, this is a major failure, and if everyone now purchasing a gear is having this issue because they don't have previous versions of the Gear Manager, then it's going to cause rampant dissatisfaction with the device. This is the worst possible scenario. If Samsung doesn't fix this asap, they're going to alienate a lot of people.

I'll toy around with Kies tomorrow and see if I can't side-load an old version of the Gear manager (assuming I can find one).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] AntwonJenkins:
Another one.

I too had everything working fine until Gear Manager updated about a week or two ago. 'saproviders has stopped' is the message I'm sure everyone has seen. Would be awesome if I could actually use the 'smart' watch my wife bought me for something other than telling what time it is. Pretty nice FAIL on Samsungs part so far. .....at least PSN is back up finally. :eek:

First of all I've to say thanks to XDA member alexndr, because he found an alternative method to use Towelroot to get root and still have

knox counter to 0x0.

The keypoint of this new method is to flash the kernel package of an old firmware Towelroot compatible.
