[Galaxy S6 General] Cuzeg Spiked:
I used resolution changer pro and managed to pull off 720p mode and 900p mode stable. 720p mode with a DPI of 288 and 900p mode with a DPI of 360 on the S6. Honestly it saved a bit of battery more than 1080p and 1440p mode as well as reduced heat and GPU load. Slightly better battery.

1080p mode with a DPI of 433 and 1440p with default DPI of 577 or so.

I also messed around by trying 4K , 8K and 16K resolution mode which seemed to work on my S6 but if I rebooted, the phone would be un-useable to the point where I had to restore a backup ,but was a fun experience testing them out in resolution changer pro and it didn't run so stable.

This app super useful even in 2017 when Nougat S6 update exists but the nougat doesn't have the resolution changing feature to reduce resolution to HD (720p) , FHD (1080p) and the default 1440p mode and useful on marshmallow ROM.

Sorry for using outdated thread but it still really helped me when I wanted to increase battery life and make gaming experience the best without an app like Game Tuner.

I dont really notice a huge difference in quality from losing 1440p screen to 1080p but the heat and battery consumption is slightly lower but for me , even slight is huge. Although I tried 720p and I do see a difference in quality which can be bad but for average use , not so bad.

For video recording and pictures , 1080p and 1440p all the way.

In gaming, a definite performance boost for sure.

I also undervolted by -37.5mv on GPU whilst doing -50mv on big cores CPU A57 cluster and -75mv on the A53 little cluster of cores. Memory undervolt was just -12.5mv since i didnt need much more. I undervolted on Synapse app and used Hacker Kernel.

I also underclocked GPU minimum frequency to 100mhz which works fine at 720p and sometimes 1080p and the CPU maximum frequency from 2.1ghz to 1.6ghz and from 1.5ghz little cluster of cores to 1ghz since it feels fast but cooler. The minimum frequency on the big cores to 500mhz at least.

I do have fast I/O speeds though due to Trimming Xtrestolite Custom ROM however and I do still android marshmallow as I see no good reason to go for android nougat, unless Xposed comes to it. Also I/O scheduler such as row for fast read speeds.
[Galaxy S6 General] Cuzeg Spiked:
One thing I have noticed though is that CPU usage gets higher as you bump up the phone resolution and as the pixel density increased and at 4K, my phone was going to the 100% range and lots of stuttering. 8K and 16k as well but it was not a good idea. 1440p cpu usage would be as youd expect .

1080p and 720p, cpu usage is heavily lowered down from what ive witness. I think less heat comes from less power used from screen as well as cpu and gpu . Especially with undervolt , I feel a better difference in battery savings from reduced resolution .

Android nougat I know has the ability to change resolution but S6 nougat versions doesnt have it, unless you have a coded custom rom or something that uses it. Also Game Tuner does actually reduce any application resolution by % without any root whatsoever but it can be annoying . I can however use it on any application apart from games. If I did though, multi window becomes harder and Xtrestolite is why when it comes to game tuner reducing resolution on any application. It may be different on different custom roms though.

If you dont have a root you can still change density and resolution via adb and it will works without problem i have already do this with one of many articles on the internet just pusj 2 commands in adb and done:)

Just a little info,

I changed density and resolution via adb (don't have root), from that point my phone start missing calls.. When someone called me my phone did nothing.

The caller got the message that my number is not available at the time.

I had full bar, and I could start a call.

After I set the default values back, I never had missed calls again..

If you face the same issue, thats maybe because the resolution/density.

sry for my bad english..
[Galaxy S6 General] tazaga:
Don't do this it's bad idea
[Galaxy S6 General] donco22:
This will save a good deal of battery power and as the other member mentioned there is very less content tailored to qhd anyway. also less load on UI performance.
[Galaxy S6 General] vibecatalin:
I've made the change only with resolution changer, and some info apps report the display at 480dpi. No build.prop editing here. It is ok?
[Galaxy S6 General] Cuzeg Spiked:
I don't change the density of the screen so I keep it at default 480 LCD density at 720p since lower or higher density doesn't affect battery usage as far as I can tell, just looks. I did however put 288dpi for 720p but DPI is different from LCD Density (also known as PPI for DPI).

Feels good to have 5-6 hours battery life on 720p. Maybe more if I got the phone on the first day but I did mess up battery life by using when charging and playing games. It still looks decent and hardly any loss in quality. 2500mah battery is best for 720p on the S6 imo.

I have tried 480p for the lols but then there were black borders so any lower than 720p is not ideal and it's not like anyone would want to.
[Galaxy S6 General] mosespl:
Hmm the one thing which is missing here is fact that resolution and density can be changed via adb without root checked on my phone and everyrhing works perfectly 1 min work one unconvinience is that you need to have installed mini adb and drivers for phone.

[Galaxy S6 General] Cuzeg Spiked:
Fair enough. Personally I was never into using ADB for anything but ADB is also very good. I prefer root method since it's easier but everybody is different and have different circumstances , especially if root isn't possible for their phones which is true.

Thanks for making that point though.

Man it feels good to have 6 hours of battery life at 720p or more, speedy performance, a very cold phone , etc on the S6. On bigger and better phones, way more battery life. S7 Edge for eg and many other candidates.

Another Non Root way to reduce resolution is Game Tuner for Samsung Users and use it on any application, even Non Games but the ADB Method is probably better since it guarantees the resolution change and root too.

Reducing resolution is just very good at reducing RAM usage (by more than 1GB or so), reducing CPU and GPU load and just overall pixels. Less to render, less power used and less battery used.

One reason why higher resolution uses more RAM in phones is because Phones don't even have a VRAM Buffer so graphics take up just as much RAM as other important parts to application and OS . Lower resolution, lower demand on hardware but a sacrifice in quality.

Yes there is difference between 1440p and 1080p but I barely noticed a dip in quality . 1440p is a bit overkill for a phone imo but that's just me. 1080p was my best resolution of choice. I did try 720p and the dip in quality was there for my S6 but it wasn't so terrible .

Overall lower brightness too but I prefer lower brightness since I'm into CF.Lumen, low brightness and an extreme battery saver.

In gaming, no issues and in general usage. 1440p was alright but for longevity purposes, 720p is better imo.

Do note, you can still take FHD and UHD video and even QHD videos of camera. Same with camera photos but just not screenshots . You can even screen record in higher resolution than your screen too and still be fine.

Downscaling also seems to work it's magic rather well. Having higher quality images but viewing it in lower resolution looks really nice whilst saving battery.

Hello everyone, I am trying to create a link on my today screen to the screen alignment program. But I was wondering what the name of the program is called. Was looking through /windows and cannot find it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marisa4755:
I know it's not exactly what you are looking for, but when I had this problem, I would use the button shortcut, which is to press D pad and messages button simultaneously, and that brings you straight to the screen alignment function and then goes back to where you were.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vijay555:
I don't think you make a shortcut to it, it's an API call. If you're desperate for an app I could probably write one to launch it for you.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] desperation52:
I am not that desperate for an app. :) I just wanted something similar to what is present in Ilauncher. But removed Ilauncher because my today screen is way too cluttered. Nevermind, I will find something else. Thanks anyway.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vijay555:
FYI I wrote VJCalibrula to disable the hardware key shortcut to the calibration app. You probably don't need a dedicated shortcut when we've already got a dedicated hardware shortcut.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] samsgun357:
Let me first say sorry for an apparently dumb question. I don't have a Verizon gs4 or a gs4 at all for that matter. I'm trying to help out a few family members that have vzw gs4. They recently got an update and aren't happy with it. Some weird volume issues and the battery getting very hot. I'm trying to find out what the latest update was? Are there many people having issues with it and is it known issues by Verizon......can they expect another update soon to fix the issues etc?

I figured where better to ask than the xda gs4 community.

I'm very familiar with Samsung phones and Android in general. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

[Sony Xperia M2] resutatto:
I need help guys.

So basically I need to install V4A as system app to /system/app or /system/priv-app, because as user app it goes on and off randomly, especially when i leave V4A control panel. It's annoying as hell.

Now, when it is installed as a system app convolver does not work. I can choose any impulse, but there's no difference, it just behaves as convolver was disabled. Other effects are mostly fine. Setting it to compatible or/and forcing does not help, either as user or system app.

Could it be kernel issue? My device is Xperia M2 D2303, KitKat 4.4.4, kernel is Fkernel (from XDA). Also SELinux is set to permissive.

Thank you in advance for any tips/solutions.

Read the viper audio thread there is something about that very thing was having a flick through the thread earlier on. That's what it does as it's not supposed to be installed as system app apparently. Does something to the settings.

Hi Everyone

Had my SN9005 since launch. Feel it's now time for a new phone.

Been waiting for the LG G4 battery reviews and they are not very promising. Though it still seems the best of the bunch at the moment. Would love a Droid Maxx but no signs of anything similar being released in the UK.

Wanting to move away from Samsung because of KNOX.

So what's the options pls.

TIA
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodfatherX64:
Wait for the new Nexus or the new OnePlus
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I still don't see why everyone is so obsessed with KNOX... The EU laws render the KNOX flag irrelevant. (So unless you lot all vote 'leave' in 2017, those apply to you as well.)

At any rate, maybe the Nexus 6? Or the newly expected Nexus 5 2015?

Personally I'm waiting to see what the Note 5 will be.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] q8peace:
probably the note 5 it will be a huge upgrade over note 3 and even note 4 i will tell you why:

1- cpu = it will have a 64 bit fully unlocked out of the box

2- ram = it maybe 4 giga as its first note and 64 bit samsung may not remanufactures note 4 so it will be 4 giga ram to feed real 64 bit cpu

3- software = newer touchwiz with lollipop 64 bit fully support out of the box

4-display = 2k or even 4k i think it will be 4k and it maybe 5.9

about the edge it may not came with edge it may come with fully foldable display very limted like note edge did in 2014
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatisfreakinggreat:
If this is indeed the Note 5, then I would be first in queue for it. My only problem is that Samsung seems to be heading towards closed off devices and I'm not a fan of them.

If this is the case, I'll be going to the G4. I've loved my Note 3 since I've had it. I don't think I can go for a smaller sized phone anymore. 5.1 just seems too small now.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
Atm it's not worth changing it with another phone, even the s6 wouldn't be a decent upgrade.

I'm keeping this for another year (bought it last summer) and will most likely get the note 5 after it gets a bit cheaper.

Nexus 6 is garbage (just like all the nexus devices), note 4 is not worth it, s6 is not worth it, g4 is not worth it, basically all current Gen phones are simply not worth it, as they aren't a huge upgrade.

And Sony is absolute trash, stay away from it! I've had their z3 tablet and it was the worst flagship device I ever owned, in my life.

Hey there folks

I have a SM-g900t that i got off Ebay (unlocked, KNOX counter Tripped). i got it because i hated my SM-G386W.

so i get this S% and start playing with Custom Roms and Loaded a rom from the SM-G900F ("ViSiON-X" or some crap) and while it works good, i cant connect to 4G anymore. phone cycles between HSPA, HSPA+ and 3G.

since im on Wind Mobile (inb4 Wind doesnt have 4G, they do, in specific areas, such as mine) i thought i'd flash the phone with the SM-g900w8 firmware from Wind mobile.

when i tried i got a Secure Check Fail: aboot message on the phone, and odin just immediatly fails.

im obviously doing something wrong here, and im guessing its going to be simple as hell to someone whos more experienced than i, so i thought i'd come ask here:

(TLDR here) How do i get my SM-G900t (that thinks its a SM-G900F at the moment) to think its a SM-G900W8 without getting "Secure check fail" messages?
