I am pleased to say that I was able to get my phone and TV out at a 1:1 while using a Bluetooth controller (PS3 Six Axis). I changed my Rom with Candy5 and had the phone set to performance on the CPU and GPU. With this change I was able to get a better input rate and the TV out rate with little to no lag. This lag is most noticeable in Minecraft at max graphics, but on low graphics, the game has minimal lag. Playing online games such as RR3, Nova 3, Modern Combat 5, etc. are playable but are not recommended due to small display lag. Single player games such as BOZ, Dead Trigger, Minecraft, Shovel Knight, etc. are very playable but have slight display lag.

To put in short:

Less graphically intense = better Display output/ FPS

Also check your TV for gaming modes/ options

Thanks to Saf98 for the tip :good:

I bought a MHL cable for my phone to game on my tv but there is a noticeable amount of display lag (lag from when I push a button and it takes a while to mirror the input to the tv display but not the phone display).

I've been wondering if anyone else has had this problem before with a MHL cable of any sort and if you did, were you able to fix it and how?

This is the MHL cable I have but I didn't buy it online, this is just for reference:

http://www.cellularoutfitter.com/ht...CA&utm_medium=CSE&CA_6C15C=120153940001509368

People might ask me this so I'll answer myself:

Q: Did you see if the cable was compatible with your phone model?

A: Yeah I did, it outputs video and audio fine with no lag on the tv display. I also looked into this cable prior to buying it to see if it fully worked.

Q: What resolution is your tv and what resolution does your tv recognize from your phone?

A: 1080p both ways.

Q: Are you on a stock rom?

A: No, I'm on PAC-Rom 5.1.1. Stock also had the same issue.

Q: Have you tried changing your device's resolution to see if that eliminated the lag?

A: Funny you ask, I have but it instantly reboots and loops when I do, both on stock and custom roms. Don't know why, does this happen to you?

Q: Does the charger connected to the MHL cable supply enough juice to it?

A: Yesh it does, it's a standard 5V samsung charger (Not a quick charge one nor a usb-to-powerbrick one).

Q: Do you have a lot of apps installed on your phone?

A: No, I debloat a rom to a safe max (Removing/Disabling unnecessary apps like Live wallpapers, FM radio, stock browser, calendars, stock email, all G-Bloatware).

Q: What is you phone's average free ram amount?

A: About 1.3 Gigabytes.

Q: What are your kernel settings?

A: CPU: Smartmax with stock cpu clock

CPU Voltage: Global off-set of -50

GPU: Stock 400 mhz with Simple Gov

Wake Gestures: Full screen DTW and STW/S

Z-Ram: 1000MB

I/O Schedulers: Fiops Read-ahead at 4096kb ~4mb

Any help would be appreciated :silly:
[One (M7) Accessories] Saf98:
Never used these before but have you got a PC monitor with Hdmi?
[One (M7) Accessories] thowersome:
Unfortunately I do not, it's a standard RGB/ VGA monitor. To my understanding, you can change the refresh rate on HDMI monitors to eliminate display lag right?

I've also tried to see if I could try to change the refresh rate on my tv but it doesn't seem that I can.
[One (M7) Accessories] Saf98:
I'm not sure then.

Edit : it doesn't show HTC one so it may not be supported, I've seen some on yt and it works but it might just depend on the quality of the product. Isn't there any mode on the tv that you can change.
[One (M7) Accessories] thowersome:
It does support it, I've had no problems with it. Video playback is 1:1 with no audio lag at all. Music playback is also 1:1 with the rare audio warble from the ROM itself but other than that it's perfect. There is a slight UI lag though but that's because the phone is outputting 1080p on two displays.

No there isn't unfortunately, I've been allover the tv menu from picture and display yet nothing was found on refresh rate or other things on quality. It's ~2-3 years old, pre-smart tv era; basic 32" Vizio led tv.
[One (M7) Accessories] Saf98:
https://youtu.be/3wUvT6tkbv8 does this help?
[One (M7) Accessories] thowersome:
A bit but it's more of a tutorial of how and what settings do. Also this is for a 4k Ultra HD Vizio with a different/ newer firmware than my tv and higher resolution, thanks for the suggestion though. :good:
[One (M7) Accessories] Saf98:
Yh it shows there's a latency option and game mode so idk if you have that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cyber_nicco:
I (very) recently got a Verizon Galaxy S6 and (stupidly) allowed the updates to run :silly:. I should have known better, as I went through the unlocking/rooting process with Verizon's S3. I could live with it for a bit if people think it will be unlocked in the near future (I'm on VRU4BOG9), but if there's a reason that it's unlikely that it will ever be unlocked, I can still return it and cancel my plan. I could just change carriers, but it's a little tricky because it involves my wife's phone/line, as well.

Does anyone have any information or opinions regarding this?

Thanks!

:eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] awskier08:
I'm with you in the same boat.

It was past the baseband even before i let the updates run. :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dobbs3x:
I doubt there will be anything. This forum is pretty dead. No developers etc. I am going to look into getting a tmobile s6 and see if I can unlock, root and get it working on verizon. I think it can be done I've just not looked into it yet so not for sure.

t-mo has CDMA radio?

or you plan to run LTE only?

i would be interested to find out as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] sulpher:
It's unlikely.. as some of the recent dev posts have made clear samsung is the ultimate anti-developer company... as such most of the dev's that would normally work on this have moved on to other brands. It's also gotten to the point that it's almost impossible to actually unlock.. they almost always work around it rather than unlock it, and there are only so many of these workarounds out there.

It may get rooted again, but it will be very unlikely that the bootloader gets unlocked.. basically our only hope would be a leaked test bootloader thats already unlocked.. But I've only ever heard of this happening once.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] templton:
Take it back while you can. Had my s6 rooted on 5.0.2 but there was no xposed support or xposed for it. If you enjoy rooting your phone the outlook is not good. Not much going on with this scene. After owning mine for just 2 months I sold mine on eBay and am headed towards a nexus. Not a bad phone but not good for flashing...I will do my research next time before getting a Samsung !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rbeavers:

Becoming less and less happy that I bought this phone. Especially on the payment plan. I may have to bite the bullet, pay it off and just sell it for whatever I can get. Sucks. I loved my fascinate, my S3, and my S4. Been using my Moto Maxx 2 more and more lately. THAT'S SAD.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RunNgun42:
Besides the Nexus what model phones are now dev friendly? I was looking at a G4 but apparently LG is just like Samsung with the nearly uncrackable locked bootloaders now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] redrol:
s5 just got full bootloader unlock..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] el6006:
Is it Verizon or the Exynos chip that's holding back development on this device? ELI5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] wolferno:
It's the customized software that samsung builds for Verizon that limits access to root and bootloader. Without having root privileges, you can not make any system changes let alone access it. The chip has nothing to do with this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] redrol:
s5 just got bootloader unlock BUT the dev has not said he will release anything. It may never happen on this device. having said that the debloater is the key to a smooth device with good battery. If debloating is all you need, that can be done without root.

After debloating about 150 apps on my s6, I can get days and days on battery with minimal use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Daiggun:
This who ordeal with Samsung screwing us on the S6 is making me want to switch to a Nexus...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quitepossibly:
I just got my Nexus 6P a few days ago and I just noticed that I had a problem with the oleophobic coating on the screen.

There are a few areas of the screen that do not appear to be coated properly, since those areas accumulate smudges a lot more quickly than the rest of the phone.

Does anyone else have the same problem? Or is this just an one off incident?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gakio12:
I had this issue with my Nexus 4. I was going to use a screen protector anyway, so I just solved the problem by installing a tempered glass screen protector. If it is a problem for you, I would try to get it replaced under warranty, otherwise a tempered glass screen protector is a great work around for it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quitepossibly:
I actually noticed the problem when I tried to apply a tempered glass screen protector because I was having a really difficult time trying to clean the screen. The standard wipe down with the alcohol pad and microfiber cloth wasn't enough to clean the screen.

Based on the shape of the splotchy area, I think someone on the assembly line tried to move the glass before (or during) the coating process. The area that smudges is right where my palms rest when I grip the phone. Also, the right edge and the earpiece area don't appear to be coated entirely either.

I think I'm going to exchange it. Also, the screen protector I got (Supershieldz) doesn't have the cutout for the proximity sensor, so it isn't going to work anyways.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domenator:
I noted that there were a couple spots towards the edges of the screen that had prominent smudges on them yesterday. I dismissed it as just the location my hands rest but since reading this thread I cleaned the glass thoroughly and ran my finger over the whole (clean) screen and the spots with poor coating come out immediately. That's unfortunate. I'm always afraid to exchange devices for fear of getting a device with a worse problem.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Oleo...e-what-to-do-if-the-coating-wears-off_id65974

Alcohol will damage the layer, so will other screen wipes as stated above, I use IPA to clean my screens and the layer on my N5 and N6 was removed pretty quickly.

It's highly unlikely that a poorly coated screen would make it past QS anyway as it will be applied in the corning factory before it hit any assembly line.

I doubt they will replace it if you admit to using IPA or other alcohol based substances.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quitepossibly:
The smudging was a problem even before I used the alcohol wipe. Originally, I thought it was just an ordinary smudge. Except, when I tried to clean it with a lens cloth, the smudge would not come off. My Nexus 6 and iPhone 6 still have their oleophobic coatings intact; I know how take care of them. And from experience, one wipe is unlikely to degrade the oleophobic coating this much.

When the screen is clean, you cannot tell that there is anything wrong with oleophobic coating. There are no tell-tale signs that there is anything wrong with the coating. That is why I probably got through QC.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quitepossibly:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddslee:
One more pic of the same defect.

If I wipe off the oily residue with microfiber cloth, the screen looks perfect. When I rub the screen with oily finger, the oleophobic coating defect shows up as shown in the pictures.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Won't be druv:
Would this problem actually impact the performance of the phone in any way or is it a question of aesthetics?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
It means the screen will get more oily in that area from your fingers and your finger won't drag as well over that area.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Won't be druv:
Thanks. Would there be a degradation of the coated areas due to this defect?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quitepossibly:
The properly coated areas appear to repel oils as originally intended. The problem is that the defective areas will appear perpetually dirty.

It is pretty hard to clean the areas that aren't coated properly. In fact, I think it might be harder to clean than just regular glass.

Are you going to have to send your phone in first? I want to RMA mine but can't go without a device for a week.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bysleeper:
If you had bought the device direct from Google store then you are never without a phone. The general process is Google sends the replacement phone out to you and then you send your current phone back after receiving the replacement phone. So yeah, you are never without a phone.

EDIT: Just a note: Google supplies all postage. It doesn't cost you anything. They only pre-charge you for the full cost replacement phone but never really take the money. The charge is dismissed and money is returned back into your account after Google receives your old (RMA) phone. Google will explain everything to you anyway once you contact them and request RMA.

At this time, we don't really have any troubleshooting steps for this issue. However, if you are still within your 15 day return period, you can always return this phone and place a new order if you wish.

There is no way to get an exchange so I do not have to wait a long time to get a new phone?

Conor D.	11:24 AM

At this time, there is no replacement process for finger print issue. If you do not wish to return your phone, I would recommend looking into a screen protector for this phone.

How did you guys get Google to exchange it? Maybe I should try calling.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fhris:
How do I clean my smartphone's screen and should I mind its oleophobic layer?

Yes, you should. It is not recommended to use any alcohol-based solutions when cleaning a capacitive touchscreen, neither is it a good idea to apply common household detergents, even if it's stated that they can be used for computer and / or TV screens. The aggressive compounds in such cleaners can easily wipe off the oleophobic coat and leave your glass “naked”.

Cleaning your mobile device's glass should generally be done with just a soft, cotton rag. In extreme cases, water-based solvents should do the trick – cleaners that are specifically designed for touchscreens can be bought at various outlets, just make sure to check the ingredients, as many manufacturers will feel no remorse in stamping an alcohol-based detergent as mobile-friendly. Also, applying the detergent to the rag, rather than spraying it directly on the screen, is a good idea.

Source : Phonearena

Clearly the spray you use is alcohol based, which i personally would never use.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flimsyspork:
I just called because of this issue, plus I told them about the top speaker being louder, my backplate being uneven, and the scratches it shipped with. My coating is so bad, it makes the person's phone who supplied those pictures not look so bad. They won't issue me an RMA, only an exchange. So the phone has to be returned within 7 days of them sending the e-mail for the exchange., and I don't even know when the replacement would get here. Says leaves warehouse in 2-3 weeks. Not happy with Google right now.

I can't figure out how to access their chat support. It just keeps looping to help articles when I click it. Mind telling me how?

I later flashed the phone to an Austrian firmware, and everything is still American English. Also, I'm a little confused how the OP is seeing UK websites. How would that have anything to do with the type of firmware he has on his phone? Shouldn't browsers recognize his location by his IP?

I don't think that did anything for me with the native weather app (did't change it from Celsius to Fahrenheit). All it did was insure that my date and time was accurate. Is the native weather app on your device in Fahrenheit?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkninja157:
I did get my Z5 Compact and the very first thing I did was to install the Customized Central Europe 1 firmware using FlashTool and XperiFirm. I also checked off on all the wipe options when I flashed the firmware. Upon boot I picked English (United States) and everything I use has been native to the US. The stock Weather app is garbage and I see no way to adjust any settings with it either. Hopefully they can fix that in a future update. My calendar however still displays the temp in F which is really nice. I use the Weather Channel app for weather anyway so its no big deal.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkninja157:
If you don't mind me asking where did you hear that UK is getting Marshmallow first? The UK firmware did not even get the 32.0.A.5.32 update while the others did.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notchr302:
It is not set in stone but suggested through several articles that I've read. This is the first I heard although of an exclusion of the firmware update. Is this true that the UK model was the only one excluded? This makes no sense
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkninja157:
It wasn't the only one excluded but it did not receive that update. Granted it did the latest 32.0.A.6.152 update at the same time as everyone else, so who really knows. But if you take a look at the Z5 Premium right now on XperiFirm, the Customized UK version is 32.0.A.6.115 while the Customized CE1 version is 32.0.A.6.170.

So in my very limited sample size and recent experience with these Sony firmwares, it seems like the UK gets the big updates along with everyone else (not first), while other regions such as CE1 gets the incremental updates.

If anyone with more experience wants to chime in, I am more than happy to be corrected.
