[Nexus 6P General] msavic6:
The Note 4 and Note 5 panels are vastly different in efficency, brightness and color accuracy. The only similarity they have is size and resolution.

That's not to say the Note 4 panel is bad but under direct side by side comparison, the Note 5 panel is superior. The average person wouldn't notice a difference unless they had both devices side by side and inspected them closely.

With that said, either one of these panels is world's better than the previous panels Google sourced for the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6P General] H0tep:
Just a heads up... mkbhd is a camera geek like we are phone geeks... I'm pretty sure if anyone has an eye for display and resolution... it's probably someone who really cares about things like that
[Nexus 6P General] oneandroidnut:
i disagree. the panel is the same but the gpu is different and effiecency has been tweaked and how it is lite. believe its oled now? where as note wasn't. i have had both phones and the only thing i noticed with note 5 is it got brighter, everything else looked the same. i was debating on which one to keep and did a test with both of them one day and screen is no different except it is brighter and i did not like that. nexus 6p the same panel just with different gpu/cpu as well
[Nexus 6P General] F4M0U569:
what does the cpu has to do with anything?
[Nexus 6P General] oneandroidnut:
Gpu and cpu for power and efficiency
[Nexus 6P General] wirelezzz:
I tried note5 and n6p side by side and full brightness Note 5 brighter indoors and outdoors . maybe google protecting burn in.
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
That's what I've been thinking all along, is a software config that's limiting brightness. All the reviews have not been complaining about brightness. If you're in the market for a Nexus, something like this isn't going to sway you.

[Nexus 6P General] fkloznica:
Every amoled/oled that isn't implemented by samsung has max brightness of ~350nits.

Just look the display tests of moto x,nexus 6,nokia 930,nexus 6p,huawei mate s,meizu mx5,opo r7...

Maybe that is the buying condition that is required by samsung. U can buy the newest panels but you can not crank the brightness to the max,that is our(Samsung's) trademark..
[Nexus 6P General] liqn7:
It's not.

http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note5_ShootOut_1.htm
[Nexus 6P General] oneandroidnut:
it is lite differently and powered differently but the actually panel is the same. nowhere in that article does it not say it is a different panel. just that it is more efficient with more brightness which has to do with gpu/cpu combo
[Nexus 6P General] Funkym0nkey:
I admire the quality of MKBHD's videos, no question about it. But he gets many technical things wrong here and there in his videos as well as his G+ posts and comments from time to time. He makes quality videos but they are not at all technical. His videos are aimed at people looking for polished production and some stuff about the phones. Most people here on XDA will already know everything he talks about and more by the time his video comes out.

I would much rather see what Erica has to say about the display than MKBHD.

Coming to the topic, I dont have my 6P yet. Expected to ship today. I have a Note 5 in the family. And can do side by side comparison. I have owned Galaxy S6 which has same feature as Note 5 where brightness is boosted in direct sunlight. And yes, it does distort the colours making them shift significantly towards red/yellow. Anyone who denies that is either a fanboy or does not know what he is talking about.

At the same time, I wont be surprised if Samsung is providing inferior display to customers. They did the same last year. Note 4 display and Galaxy S5 display were significantly better than likes of Moto X and Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6P General] micmars:
Agreed, but here's the thing...last quarter, Samsung actually had an increase in sales worthy of the market's growth expectations, but not from the handset division...the growth came almost entirely from their chip (iPhone) and panel divisions (amongst these were other handset manufacturers).

In a word, Samsung's success is dependent upon the success of its rivals to the Note 5.

Go figure.

#WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
Not unusual at all for a company as big and varied as Samsung.

One of the nicest washing machines I ever had was a Samsung, same with the dryer. The fridge was a turd though.

Many many divisions, and they all need to make $$ one way or the other.
[Nexus 6P General] micmars:
Yes, it is not unusual at all for a company that has a vested interest in seeing their own devices actually grow at the same pace as its major rivals put together a strategy to attain it, and fail at executing on said strategy...they retooled their entire mobile division to go after the undisputed market leader in smartphones...Apple.

Leaders lead, they don't copy.

And the results of said strategy are pretty dismal...see below...

In sum, semiconductor sales and SoCs showed strong Q-to-Q growth (~10%), while the results of this year's bold move to shiny, premium devices with no external memory and sealed batteries has been an anemic 2%...oh, and Q3 is identical.

What's shocking to me in all of this is that Samsung actually thought they could take on Apple and succeed.

FWIW, I am happy that you're enjoying your washing machine.

It went the way of the fridge! Lasted just a few months longer - bummer.

They thought the could compete with the likes of Maytag!
[Nexus 6P General] micmars:
I think the Note 5 is an awesome device, and want to see Samsung succeed...I think they'll be around for a long, long time. I just don't think they did nearly as well as they'd hoped.

I for one can't wait to see the screen on my Nexus 6P.

[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
I I'm still waiting! But supposed to ship by the 5th.

Good thing I still got my trusty n5 - and still not sure if I can handle the big 6p. But at my age, bigger screen is better!
[Nexus 6P General] H0tep:
Erica said it could note 5 is better as far as display. She touched on it in detail on her initial review
[Nexus 6P General] lolwatpear:
i know.. it's a known fact that samsung supplies other companies with worse amoled screen tech than whatever flagship they currently have out.
[Nexus 6P General] Funkym0nkey:
Yeah saw it. Was expecting it. No way Samsung would share exact same panel or all the tech involved (to get that extra brightness) with other OEMs. That is their ace at the moment.

It will be similar but they wont allow the super brightness feature to be included for others is what I am guessing.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] core_dump:
Hi everyone

I have recently been working on an Android development tool whilst completing my CS Msc [1]. This tool allows developers to submit their apps and a usage case (by defining a Monkey Runner script) and in turn will provide feedback on the energy usage of the applications code (at the method level). I am looking for feedback from the community as I am now planning to release this, as a free and open source tool.

Currently the tool will give you an approximation of the total usage of the code, a breakdown of what this means in terms of other usage (eg how long you could have watched an HD video using the device for the same amount of energy), and a breakdown of each methods total and average energy usage. There is also some support for estimation of hardware energy usage. This is all done without requiring a physical device (it runs on emulators). By using monkey runner, I am hoping that developers can define different use cases to also allow stress testing of their application.

This will not give you the exact energy usage of the app. It measures areas of code that are known to have high energy costs, assigning values based on findings from previous research that catalogued these. This research claims that these areas relate to 80% of the total energy usage of the code. The feedback is designed to highlight which routines are using the most energy and thus allow you to focus on them.

Is this something that the community is interested in? Are there any features you specifically would want added?

[1]To confirm, I have finished my Msc. This piece of work has been handed in and graded. I am not asking for help with the report or ideas for this. I just want feedback on what I feel is a worthwhile tool
[Other Tools & General Discussion] frostymarvelous:
This is obviously interesting. It opens us up to a whole new area of optimisation. Due to the device being mobile, power optimisation is very important.

To be able to determine what kind of features are required would need actual use of the tool.

Congrats and good work. Are you planning to open source this tool?

[General Questions and Answers] kuzibri:
Hi all,

on the XDA forum there are several templates with the intention to organize XDA in a better way as well for the Developers as the users. Only disadvantage of these templates is that they are scattered all over the forum and not in one thread, therefore I created this thread to combine several of these templates in one place. Below you will find the description of each template and the way how to create such a template. Best of all, everyone is able to create such a thread whether it be an RC/RD or a member.

1. Q&A/T Template:

Original poster of this thread is [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION]

Q&A/T [Template Thread] for ROMS / Kernels / Projects

Credits: [MENTION=1303867]kuzibri[/MENTION] (Recognized Contributor) for driving this project and leading the initiative to go public with our thinking.

Much of the text here has been developed by a small team including:

Forum Moderators [MENTION=990284]TonyStark[/MENTION]; [MENTION=3053298]Stryke_the_Orc[/MENTION], [MENTION=4564111]KidCarter93[/MENTION] and

Recognized Contributors: [MENTION=3629322]Robbie P[/MENTION], [MENTION=648456]riro[/MENTION] Zizo​

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Recognized Contributor group has for some time now been involved in working with Developers to create specific Q&A-Template threads for their ROMs, Kernels or projects. The main idea behind a Q&A-Template thread is to clear Off-topic posts and questions from the development thread to the Q&A-Template thread, thus keeping the development thread "clean". This leaves such things as bug reports and dev.-related topics to be discussed without distractions in the development forum.

The Q&A/T thread will usually have discussions about battery life, general questions, such as, "will this app work with this ROM", "can I use this kernel with it", "+1" and any other non-development related questions and topics.

A template for the first post of the Q&A/T thread and some guidelines have been available for RCs and RDs to use which allow uniformity across the site. We thought, in the spirit of openness and sharing, these should be made available to all members. Since not all Contributors are RCs, and not all Developers are RDs.

We feel that the Developer (our most precious resource) should decide whether a Q&A/T thread is required for their project. If so (), they should decide whether they want to post/maintain it themselves or choose someone they think would be suitable to post/maintain it for them. This could be any Member or an RC.

Note that this initiative is fully compatible with the DevDB system which has a specific tab option to allow Developers to link to their Q&A/T thread.

While it may be impossible to keep discussion in the development forums strictly on development, this may be a huge step in the right direction toward getting XDA back to what it was originally intended to be (”A site by Developers, for Developers”), and have a forum that is more hospitable to those Developers that we would be lost without.

3. Ask Away help threads by kuzibri

Hi all,

this thread is started to give every device it's own Ask Away help thread. Although I cannot answer all questions about devices I do not own, I think this is a valuable addition to the XDA forum/services and hope that other members are willing to create these threads and thus answer questions about devices I do not own, that's what XDA stands for. I created a template for these threads, see the examples in post #2 and #3.. Really hope you are prepared to use this template, cause it combines the best of two worlds: A very basic Q&A template and, whenever present, the Index Project for that certain device. Whenever you are prepared to use this, you will have all the information about a certain device you want and can get in one thread only..

When you decide to create a Ask Away help thread for a specific device, please place a link in this Ask Away thread, for two reasons:

1. So we know that such a thread exists and is created.

2. It can be added to post #8 of this thread. Thanks for your cooperation!!

BTW, if you want to start such an device specific Ask Away thread, create the thread in the Q&A section of that specific device!!

BTW, the Portal team mentioned our Ask Away help threads in their News columns, see:

Hi,

we already have an "overheating" thread. i'm interested solely in battery temperatures that people are seeing here please.

seems far too hot for my liking! what are others seeing?

Nexus 5 keeps rebooting

Hi,

2 hours ago, my Nexus 5 suddenly started rebooting. I've read about the solution that can solve the problem (clear the cache).

Unfortunately I'm not able to do that, because every time I press the power and volume button, I see the screen with the android dude with his ''belly'' open, but at that point, it just reboots.

How can I solve this problem? I really need my phone tomorrow!

Thanks in advance!
[Pixel C General] wclark57:
I am in a state of utter indecision and hope this post can generate some food for thought.

I am in possession of my second Galaxy Note tablet--the 2014--and am very unhappy with multi'window and bezel buttons. Before I bought the 2014 I tried jumping off the Android ecosystem to Apple and was less than happy with it, so the 2014 was a bit of a knee jerk, thinking that I could work around the button problem--I can't. But even worse is how they made multi-window into a horrible "feature".

All that is to say that I'm not platform dependent, and that I am so done with Samsung--no matter how much I like the stylus. The stylus was a useful feature but felt awkward to hold so while I think all tablets should have a stylus, I know that it is easier to say than to do in a logical fashion.

Over the past couple years I've encountered a couple Surface users who use theirs in concert with work and speak very highly of their capability. I think one of those would be better than a laptop when I travel. But having tried an early model I don't think they hold-up all that well as tablets. Certainly they do the job okay but don't feel right to me. I don't think like some that the Pixel C is aimed at competing with the surface--perhaps more an attempt at moving the platform more in that direction. It doesn't at all compare well with the surface IMHO.

Another thing that I read is people complaining about keyboards on tablets. I've always wanted one to make answering emails easier. That on screen keyboard is still not as good as a keyboard to me--call it an old folk interface device (OFID) if you must. That said, I've never had one because Bluetooth keyboards always seemed so finicky and the extra charging cable seemed a bridge too far for me. So the Pixel C keyboard's charging method seems inventive and spot on, but I'm not sure I like the Bluetooth nor do I understand why (comparing the surface keyboard with it) some keys had to be dropped off and a trackpad wasn't possible--though those seem a smallish issue.

So I'm having trouble deciding whether to get away from Android tablets and move toward a Surface or go with a Pixel C or something else. I do little more than reading on my 2014--well that and sending all my pictures to it over Eyefi, and web browsing. So I see little real reason to spend Surface Pro 4 money, but the extra functionality would be useful. I've worked more with Google Drive and spreadsheets and docs and am happy to think I can do some office work that way if need be but sometimes you need absolute compatibility without fail so I'm going to be a bit skiddish there.

So I know that's a bit of a ramble, but it seems all that's been rolling around in my head I really want to like this tablet but I'd want more than 64GB of storage because of those pictures, I really would like it to be removable memory, and as weird as it seems this lovely tablet got me looking closer at the Surface and thinking a PRO 3 might be a better bet. Don't come at me swinging, just give me some food for thought.
