[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] tacobender92069:
thermal-engine.conf location?

i haven't had any suggestions here.. so maybe I should try a direct question...

Is there any chance that CPU throttling is broken? Where would I go to find the thermal-engine.conf file to check if i can make some modifications to control (or ignore?) the overheating?

Kinda pisses me off that the CPU isn't even warm to the touch and I'm still getting these overheating reboots within seconds of turning it on. Seems' like they're bogus messages. I've got an RMA to send it back to have Samsung replace the motherboard which is going to cost $250.. i figure i don't have much to lose at this point with experimenting on this thing.

To address your point after transferring files in #1 I took pictures on the S7/S7E to compare with my Nexus 6P. I transferred the pictures to my phone via android beam, and or bluetooth which is likely what they were doing to transfer pictures or other things over.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TJCacher:
Ah - Yes that makes perfect sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
Sometimes the files were too big for Android beam so BT had to be used. You can't pull apps off the S7 without first sending an extractor to those phones which I don't think could be installed due to the demo mode. It won't even let you uninstall apps in demo mode so they were likely just sending pictures over.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Shoulon:
I absolutely love the Samsung browser, main reason is fingerprint login. I've always been a "use a 3rd party browser as stock usually sucks person." (even on pc) but its got performance down and again, fingerprint to login feature is just awesome. Sorry about Verizons choices on your end if u thought you would stick to the browser. But I'm sure u could always install it manually.

[MENTION=4449448]Tj[/MENTION] Did you notice any weird screen sensitivity when playing around with it in the store? The S6 seemed like the screen sensitivity was cranked up way to high and made scrolling a little odd and not as smooth/loose as it is on other phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] berfles:
The demo unit I used had 20.3GB free on it, just fyi. Loved the way the phone felt. Camera is insanely fast if not instant.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] physicsguymatt:
A Verizon employee on another site posted a screen shot of a demo S7E they just received with 22.49GB free out of the box. (22.58GB free for the S7). He indicated Verizon bloat totals less than 1GB.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TJCacher:
I extensively used the Silver model for my demo and the response was smooth as butter the whole time. I briefly used two of the other Edge models and one of the non-edge models and, during those brief moments, screen sensitivity and scrolling seemed flawless as well.

My only concern after my demo is that I use my devices by holding with my off hand (left) and use my left thumb for navigation, and when typing is necessary I do that one-fingered with my right hand. (I love swiping on Google's keyboard on my current device).

On the Edge models, I had some issues with activating Edge features with my left thumb while attempting standard navigation, and the Sammy keyboard did not seem to respond to swiping (maybe it's an optional feature? I didn't check because, hey, downloadable keyboards). I'm sure I can overcome this with a bit of practice, and it's most likely due to my slightly unconventional usage pattern, so I didn't mention it in my post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TJCacher:
Are you saying 20.3 with a store demo loaded? If so, that's good to hear.

I went through the storage breakdown on the demo device fairly thoroughly (I thought) and found nothing taking up multiple gigs except the store demo software. And maybe a couple of gigs (at most) of potentially removable stuff. There was very little storage being used by media on the device except what was there because of the demo software. Subtracting that out and allowing for about two gigs of additional bloat or use-as-a-demo cruft (customer pics, etc.) that could potentially be gained back is how I arrived at my 20-22 gigs estimate.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] berfles:
Yep, demo was definitely on there because the friggin thing wouldn't stay turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TJCacher:
Thanks for this info. That would be at the extreme high end of my estimate, whereas I actually felt the low side was more likely. I actually like and use Verizon's Message Plus app for texting, so their bloat isn't a total waste for me. I also login to my account using the My Verizon app fairly frequently. I think their Command Center widget is the best and most attractive clock/weather/battery home-screen widget I've ever used.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
[MENTION=320064]TJCacher[/MENTION] Thank you for this post. This will be my first Samsung phone ever and I am nervous about the switch. Honestly, I would have just gotten the LG G5 but they got rid of the native app drawer and I don't feel I should have to use a work around. I originally ordered the S7 but cancelled and went to the Edge in Black Onyx. I feel better about my purchase right now, and I'm looking forward to the news feeds and other interesting customizations on the Edge. I know I'll definitely miss the IR blaster, but oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
The worst part is you can't uninstall any of it. I wonder how many apps will allow you to uninstall them once we all get the phone. (See attached screenshot)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
Sorry wrong screenshot :/ here's the correct one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
I saw a pic that showed storage on a non-demo unit. 7.9GB of the 32 was being used.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
Well that's a little better than I expected, but ~8GB is still a lot of storage wasted. I havea138GB Nexus 6P right now so I'm used to having space and I don't know if any of that will be freed up by apps that can uninstalled.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
I also don't know if there were pictures or video taken on the phone, thus taking up more space than normal. I have a 200GB microsd so I'll be okay. I have 64 internal on my V10 and I have 48 GB free so I'm not too worried about my apps taking up too much space.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
The one I looked at had 0 images when that screenshot was taken. I deleted the ones I took as I transfered them to my 6P. I think most of it is just random stuff they have for the demo units (so I hope)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
Sorry, to clarify I meant the one I saw. I wasn't sure if they took pictures or video with it resulting in 7.9GB being used.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
That's possible, but in my case the phone just had a ton of apps and unknown space taken up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
Yeah, I'm sure that was loaded with the demo software. I'm sure Best Buy doesn't have any retail handsets yet, just demo models.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
I wonder if they could be factory reset to remove all of that stuff in store. No one pays attention to what people do on the demo units anyway. I'm not saying I haven't set a iPhone to a certain date on 1970 just to see what would happen, but I wonder if it would make a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Kilroy672:
I also noticed that these phones comes with a game pack, not sure what they are. But it gives you the ability to mute the notifications, sounds phone calls..ect whole playing games. I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about. Anyway can that app be disabled or deleted? I'm sure that might be taking some room on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
From what I've read it organizes the games into a management type folder and you can choose to turn settings on or off to optimize battery and turn off notifications. I think it would be an insignificant amount of space used on the phone.

Your totally right bout the color mate! Yesterday ibwent to the shop tobtest it.they had the black one.it really looks sexy as hell!! Today i went to another shop with my gf and there they had the silver one. Imo the silver one is ugly and indeed almist a mirror. My gf said its ugly lol and imthat im wrong from uograding from a n4 to a s7e thats ugly lol. Than i said to her that the black looks a lot better haha

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
I bought the silver. I've only seen the gold/black in person, so I guess I'll learn to like it. I bought a few skins for this reason, and because I don't like the feeling of glass backs.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TJCacher:
I still haven't cancelled my pre-order for the Silver. I'm wondering if I take delivery of it if I could take the unopened box into a local Verizon store and swap it for a black one.

Does anyone who's been with Verizon for awhile know if they're open to that kind of thing? I was with AT&T for years until last December, so don't know if this idea would fly with Verizon or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BennyJr:
Pretty sure this is possible but you may have to wait until they are in store

I ordered the silver one as well. Now I feel like I should switch to the black one. Hopefully tmobile will let me do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
The phone is ugly a rep from Samsung called me yesterday to say they have them , so i went to check. First of the phone looks plasticy unlike the s6e i own. Secondly, its a finger magnet in all colors (i think the black looks better). Appart from that, very snappy phone and camera. Ill keep my s6e for the first time im not upgrading ( i owned every s from s3 and every note from the original note up til 4).

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
played with the phone @ MWC have to say this is what the HTC M9 should have been, an evolution with the upgrades where they count! Samsung has basically improved on a already 'sophisticated' phone. TW has made a remarkable transformation since the s6 and is super fast.

I also had a play with the G5 and I found the design too rounded for want of a better phrase.

I was really impressed with the Xiamo Mi5 with its ceramic ,killer specs (despite a regular FHD panel) and ridiculously low price !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mujj:
I seriously cannot make up mind between the S7 or Edge. Don't really want to preorder as I am waiting for initial reviews first. The edge does look cool, but the main thing that's attracting me to it is the big battery.

I have a Xperia Z2 and have wanted to move to something a little smaller for a while. But after having a 3200mah battery on my Z2, I don't know if I can downgrade on battery life.

Anyone had a feel of both? Is there a big difference between the two? Hows one handed usability?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Beefheart:
Does not compute.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
It does. The s7e looks plasticy compared to tye s6e, the renders don't tell tte truth you have to see it live.

Sent from my SM-G925F
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Beefheart:
You actually believe that? I suspect not.

And I have seen it "live", and even held both the S6 Edge Plus and S7 Edge at the same time. No one in their right mind could call the S7 Edge ugly and not believe the same about the S6 Edge. The S7 Edge is just a slight evolution of the design. Someone who likes the look of the S6 Edge might think the S7 edge is too big for them, but in terms of looks think it's ugly? No, It sounds to me like you're simply trying to justify not upgrading without realising you don't have to.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Nope i went there to preoder so i was definitely gonna upgrade then i thought yuck the black is plasticy the gold and silver are just too mirrorish.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
I looked at them in person, and I think you are likely seeing that the colors are more bland now than last year, which make them not appear as premium. I don't feel this way, I think they look amazing and still looks and feels premium, it feels a lot better than the S6 too. The silver was simply stunning - I was worried from people saying it was like a mirror, and while it's reflective, you can't actually see yourself or object on the backside. It's really unique and I love it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
Well, each to their own I guess. I saw the black yesterday, and it looks... Black. And the glass is... glass.

Not sure where your 'plastic' looking comment comes from. But no one is making you buy the phone, so whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] meyerweb:
A couple of people have posted storage information on new T-Mobile units. It looks like the pre-installed system and software take up about 9 gig, leaving 23 free. I think that will work for me, with an SD card to store non-app data, backups and the like.

Any way of Knowing if the EDGE screen will work independently of the main screen, like if you were watching tv on a app, and u got a Text message, would the EDGE SCREEN show it and not DISRUPT the main screen? This is something the NOTE EDGE did and im trying to decide on this or getting a used NOTE EDGE, Thanks
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
I usually wear medium large gloves so my hands aren't small, but my thumb can only reach about half the 6p screen when gripping it.

Thought this finger ring thing was silly and clunky. Turns out not that bad and pretty useful. Bought it on ebay for like 1-2 dollars. The sticky pad is strong and I have confidence it won't fall off. They claim it is removable, reusable and washable.

The ring part is stiff and holds it's position/angle well. I use my finger tips to support the phone and the ring for grip. Don't need to hold the sides of the phone as I normally do. This allows my thumb extra range and motion. Actually feels more secure than holding it normally. Ring can be folded down out of the way; I don't noticed it much.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] toknitup420:
Fly grip is pretty similar and a lil more streamline. You may want to check that out to
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
$29.99 seems pricey to me. Doesn't rotate to hold in other position beside portrait?

If I may....is there a way to have options to add connections to the various cloud drives i.e Mega, Onedrive, Google Drive, Yandex, Box, etc....oh and youtube too ^_^... so we can play/stream music or video that way directly vs having the extra apps on just too? I could open my cloud storage and just play that way but, for me, i really only use cloud storage for my tons of music and videos...adding them to MX player would def be nice to have and it'd be, pretty much "a one stop" video player.

[XDA Assist] Andrew1211:
Hi guys,

Im andrew fro the philippines. So i got this samsung grand prime sm g531f from saudi arabia and it was region locked and i cant fix it on my own. And so i had it rooted and the region lock removed. That was more than a month ago. I actually dont have any idea how the repairman fix my phone. I just know that he installed an app called SuperSU.

The problem came yesterday when i turned my phone on. To my surprise the net work is locked again. It is again asking for PIN/PUK and saying that the sim is not valid. I tried to fix it, looking for tips from the internet like

- removing the sim card and putting it back

- checking if my phone is still rooted and according to root checker it still is

- using the root explorer and hex editor

- using the region lock away but it didnt work coz it is asking for a csc data

- accessing the recovery mode (i dont actually know what to do while in recovery mode)

I dont know what to do next bec. According to some internet posts region unlocking is permanent then how come my phone got locked again. I suspected thati may have done some things that led to this. These are:

- my phone memory is getting consumed and so i was forced to transfer a lot files from the phone to the sd card memory the night before.

- i charged my phone thru the usb port of my computer for about an hour or two.

Please help me remove the region lock again. The repair shop where i had it fixed is 7 hour drive from where i live. If possible i wanted to fix this by myself. Thank you guys. I hope you could help me.

so I'm looking to get a smartwatch and am trying to decide between the zenwatch 2 and moto 360 gen1. I've read a lot of threads on the moto 360 about firmware issues after the latest update. so if you had to decide, would you go with the zenwatch 2 or moto 360 knowing that you may have issues with the moto 360?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] hamagc:
Zw2. The first gen moto has an older TI processor, much slower overall. There is another forum were this has been asked and that was one if the big things. A lot comes to personal preference as well, do prefer round or square?

this kinda says it all as well:

I prefer a round face, but that can be overcome with a custom round watchface. What draws me to the zenwatch 2 is more the price point and it is a bit faster than the moto 360. I was just curious if ZW2 users have experienced more issues with it than it's worth.

[K3 Note General] Dai-San:
Hi Guy's,

I had my Galaxy Note 3 stolen by some dirtbag and looking around for a replacement I decided on the K3. I'm loving it and thanks to Hackerpower's thread have rooted, and flashed it to get rid of all the bloatware etc.

What I am finding though is that when I connect it to my PC it is only showing as a CD with the beijing version of the lenovo manager software showing. I want to be able to transfer files from my PC and vis-versa but no matter what I select I cant access the phone as a storage device like I could with my Galaxy Note 3.

If I select Media Device on the phone I see it as a CD with the above software showing.

If I select USB Storage I get the same.

If I select Camera I get the Phone Storage directory with 2 subfolders DCIM and Camera

I have downloaded the USB drivers from Hackerpower's thread and also tried various other download sites, all act the same. And yes I have selected debug mode but have also tried it with this disabled and same result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the ONLY thing marring this great phone for me.

BTW I'm using Limonchello as the ROM.

Cheers
