[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryanscobberwash:
So guys, was wondering if you use ambient display and if you do have you done tests for the difference in battery life?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I use it, the amount of battery that it uses is negligible.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deekayy:
Never works for me. Always turns on in the dark when laid on table idle. Never bothered to look into fixing because it's not a necessity for me.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Don't use or require for my usage...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
I have it switched on, but it really doesn't matter, once I pick the phone up, I switch it on.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handols:
It drains a lot
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
Does it? How much?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
No it really doesn't.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frezd91:
I use it. Battery drain is very low. Anyway I wish it was more accurate. The screen turn on every time I put it on the table and sometimes when I take it, it should be the opposed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toknitup420:
I feel with native notification light, ambient display is kinda redundant.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryanscobberwash:
Hmm interesting I've been going on a little bit of a wake lock crackdown lately and ambient display adds another wake lock....... Didn't know if it would destroy battery....... Haha
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
In my usage in a 12 hour period, my phone is only awake for less than half an hour when I'm not actually using it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
I don't. I find it annoying personally. I like setting the brightness manually via the drop down menu to exactly where I want it when I need to.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I think you're thinking of adaptive brightness, not ambient display, two different things.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisAC84:
Nope. I found it comes on way too often, whether I pick the phone up or not. I use double tap to wake, so I just double tap the screen when I need it on
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
I know. I had to call out the statement.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
LOL yes.....thank you H!

I do use ambient display. I find it a very simple yet extremely convenient feature.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
I would if it worked properly. It's just so inconsistent. Sometimes I pick it up and nothing. Other times it works. Just very inconsistent.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
100% agree. It would be a great feature, if it actually worked as intended. But since it's so inconsistent it's more of just an annoying gimmick. I turn Ambient Display off first thing whenever I flash a new ROM.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
It's a shame to see that Ambient Display isn't working for some people, it works perfectly for me, every time. I receive a notification, it triggers. I pick my phone up into an upright position, it triggers.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaftamle:
IMO, I don't see the point. If I pick up my phone its for a reason, to use it, fingerprint works for that. Double tap is great for a quick look. As far as for notifacations, I use it for that occasionally, but what confuses me is haven't androids always done this anyway? Get a text and the screen lights up??

Oh, OK, maybe it was a feature in a ROM or text app I used to use. Or possibly a touchwiz add on from my old gs4 days that I'm thinking of.

The nexus 5 is currently on stock and I haven't rooted it yet but I was wondering if I could partially or significantly increase battery life by rooting it. If I could what suggestions do you guys have? What works well for you?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chismay:
best way to increase battery on stock 6.0.1 is to switch off wifi/bluetooth scanning in location settings, or buy a new battery like i just have :D

I've very new to all this, in fact today is the first time I've ever tried to do any of this, but I am trying to figure out which CID and ROM is best fitted for my needs. I want to put the phone on MetroPCS and want the 4G LTE to work, as well as do away with all the useless AT&T bloatware on the device. I'm a little hesitant to just jump right in because I afraid I'll brick my device. So far I've figured everything out with a few glitches, but I'd love any help y'all could offer!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Your best option is probably to convert to Dev Edition. As you s-off it should be fairly simple.

Download this RUU https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934543225

Change your CiD to BS_US001

fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
fastboot reboot-bootloader

When the bootloader reboots make sure fastboot usb is connected and launch the RUU on your PC. It will start a windows type installer. Just follow the installer instructions. :good:

As a side note. After flashing the ruu the first boot will take longer than usual. It may seem to be stuck at the HTC boot screen. It may stay like this for 15 or 20 mins. ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoralLaurel:
Stuck?

So I followed the instructions Danny gave me and all went smoothly, until the install. It's been on the updating screen for 30 minutes at updating... ( 0/5) Sending......

Could it just be taking forever or is there an issue?

[Android General] 3GJockey:
I've had a stuck accelerometer problem with phones, but also with my DJI Phantom drone. This problem manifests itself as:

- can't switch or rotate from portrait mode to landscape correctly

- camera won't rotate to landscape

- terrible VR performance, drifting

- bad gaming performance

- sensor readings way off

You're not going to believe the solution that has worked for me in both cases: you gotta bash it!!

Yep, your silicon-based accelerometers have fingers that can deflect with G forces, but when they get a big impact, they can get stuck at the extreme bent side. You probably dropped your phone recently, right?? Well, you can probably fix it by dropping it again in exactly the right way. It's like Fred Flintstone's amnesia.

You'll need to determine which side to drop it onto, and then drop it onto that side HARD onto a hard surface. You don't need to let it go, you kind of slam it with your hand. Do it at your own risk, of course, because you might break some other component!

Here's which side to whack it. For god sakes, don't just whack it randomly.

First, you'll need an accelerometer app. Install it and run it in metric mode. Set your phone on the table. Have a look at your values for X, Y, and Z. Two should be at near 0 and Z should be around 10 m/ss. The 10 reading is the table holding your phone against the force of gravity at 10 m/ss!

One or more of your numbers will NOT be as I stated, and that's the stuck accelerometer. It will be pretty much stuck and hardly changing at all, and it will be weirdly high, much greater than 10. ex: My X was at 167. (If you do not have one of your axis stuck on a very high number, you have a different problem, don't continue.)

If your X value is stuck sky high, hit the phone with the X+ (right) side onto the table

If your X value is a high number, but negative, hit the phone with the X- (left) side onto the table

If your Y value is stuck sky high, hit the phone with the Y+ (top) side onto the table

If your Y value is a high number, but negative, hit the phone with the Y- (bottom) side onto the table

If your Z value is stuck sky high, hit the phone with the Z+ (screen face) side onto the table (good luck to you)

If your Z value is a high number, but negative, hit the phone with the Z- (back) side onto the table

If you hit it sharply enough, you'll notice that the sensor is no longer stuck on the super high reading, and you're all fixed :)

Look on the bright side, it's not a drone. Since propellers etc get in the way of a table slam, I had to hit my $1200 drone - HARD - with a rubber mallet when it had the same problem. But it worked!
[Android General] venompk:
I have a Redmi Note 8 pro and the accelerometer was not working. The Y and Z axis were stuck at high negitive values. I was very frustrated as the camera app took pictures up side down. After searching the internet for a gud hour , I found this solution. I tried it and it worked like a charm. I had to hit my phone on my hand for both -Y and -Z axis. After both directional hits, the accelerometer sprung into action and everything worked smoothly.

Thank you so much. This solved my problem like a charm. This really worked.
[Android General] MikeChannon:
Moved from Android Drones, because as the original poster tells me, this applies generally to devices with Accelorometers.

Mike
[Android General] Buley:
I still can't believe that it worked like it did. The Z axis on my Redmi Note 7's accelerometer was stuck, and it insta working again after throwing my phone on the floor. This is probably the least thing I would do (willingly) and worked like a charm. Thank you very much.
[Android General] ManinhoRedmiNote8Pro:
This post saved me. Almost wiped my Redmi Note 8 Pro. Worked fine just throwing it on the floor LMAO. Nothing like an armor case to protect hahahaha
[Android General] y8s:
MY HERO. the pockets in my sweats aren't deep enough so my phone kept falling out and must have konked itself into a hung accelerometer. A few drops on the bottom fixed a stuck negative Y axis. happy day!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] garyg199:
I currently have the latest version of Skydragon installed on my M8 (latest for lollipop) and I am having issues when I restart my phone. My homescreen becomes super zoomed and my icons are huge and I also get a repeated error stating that "HTC dot view has stopped unexpectedly". I have to restore my backup every time I restart my phone or if it dies. Real annoying. Now it's doing it at random times but the home screen pages look cut off like they cut half swiped and stuck. It's weird and again, annoying! Please help if anyone has encountered this and knows a fix. I do not use dot view so i could try uninstalling it with a reinstall of SD but I really don't want to do that. I hope it's not the rom because I love it and it's the only one I can use that is compatible with fast charge. Insertcoin being the only other rom I have successfully installed without issue. Not compatible with fast charge. Please help! I'm sick of running my restores! Thanks!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amelia2006:
I bought the fire TV when I can pre-order it, and I rooted it and block the firmware update. Recently youtube is not working, so I decide to update to latest OS as root is not that important to me. So I reset to to factory default then update to 5.0.5 (must be from 51.x). After installing new OS, there is no sound at all, not even from menu navigation. I tried each settings in audio and still no solution, reset, restart, change the HDMI cable etc.

What even worse is that I cannot stream video and audio at all. I have wired LAN to a router directly with 150Mb Comcast. Now I cannot even load the fireTV introduction video. I can install the youtube without any issue and it can load the play list, subscription list etc. I tried to stream Amazon video and MP3 and it stuck at the beginning and would never start.

I side loaded the latest kodi, it plays mkv from NAS but still no sound. The FireTV and TV have not been changed except OS update. Please help.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Do you have a little red muted audio sign in the top corner (right hand side) of youre screen? If thats the case using a keyboard press the + button to get the audio back on! If not search on Google i also had a problem simular to this a while back after a new install of Kodi & found the solution from there after looking through for around 5 minutes.

Hope this helps if so press that thanks button
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amelia2006:
It is not just kodi, but fire TV itself does not have sound.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
I looked on the net for you, try these -

Go to Settings > Display and Sounds > Audio > Dolby Digital Output > Select Dolby Digital Plus OFF (I used Dolby Digital Plus Automatic and that worked)

Or this -

If you hear regular TV sound that means that whatever that sound comes from is still running. Maybe you have a cable box or DVR connected to an amplifier? You need to turn it off when you are using the Fire.

You should hear the sound from the Fire TV directly from your TV, not your amplifier. You'll need to make sure the TV's sound is turned up.

Or -

Check the volume setting. Most TVs have separate volume controls for each input, so it may be you just have that input turned all the way down. Also check your TV's owner's manual and see if the input you are using supports sound. On my TV one HDMI input processes sound and one is video only for some reason.

Or this -

Do you have another HDMI cable you can try? & have you tried on another tv?

Hope this solves ur problem (I keep my fingers crossed for ya), if it does press that thanks button

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
With a 16:9 picture you lose quality toward the edges so the 4:3 retians the same quality and is already cropped. Think of the difference similar to a full frame DSLR and a crop sensor (APS-C) that cannon uses on their Rebel line. I personally enjoy the 4:3 ratio for pictures, but everyone is different. When you change to 16:9 all its doing is crop the 4:3 picture to thst ratio. Also the dialer picture screenshots are not consistent. The Note 4 is showing a contact and the S7E is dialing someone (in call UI) so please fix that so the comparison will be accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] EvanWasHere:
Yes, I figured out that reason why it lost megapixel when going to 16:9, is because it was cropping the image. I shoot full frame with my Sony a7RII. I've never shot with a crop sensor. LOL. It's just annoying that I can't fill the screen with my shots.

As for the call screen from my Note, I would have to reactive my old SIM to get my Note 4 active, which would be a pain in the butt. So I just Googled an example:

​
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
That works, it was just hard to compare two different things. I haven't owned a Samsung phone since my Note 3 which was a long time ago. I'm sure you end up cropping those photos a lot, but full frame sensors give you more 'picture' to choose from. Samsung probably use the 4:3 ratio based on what Sony offered for the sensor features they wanted. I haven't taken enough photos in Pro mode to notice whether or not it defaults back to auto a while, but I'll look out for that. I took a bunch of pictures with the S7E and compared then to my 6P for fun. The S7E does better in certain situations it just depends on what you're doing with it. I still have mixed feelings about the phone especially the battery life (dismal right now).

Hello and thanks for your impressions :)

maybe with the next FW update, samsung will solve camera settings :-/ a bad bug for this cool device.

Can you explain better about first point? 1.) Screen sensitivity on the edge

without case is not handy write with keyboard? I never had a border smartphone and I'd like be sure to buy this.

The time spent with note4 about writing with keyboard (like email, etc) can be the same using this device or the border are a problem?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
I've noticed the same issue even with a case. Sometimes whole I'm typing with 1 hand the keyboard will think I'm hitting letters that I'm not. It then starts to massively lag in my case forcing me to reboot the phone because nothing will make it stop once it's started even when typing with the phone flat on a table. It's a software bug that should be easily fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] polhallen:
exactly: (excluding this bug) is it handy and smart writing with this device like a flat mobile?

thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
What do you mean? I rarely if ever put my phone flat on a table to Type anything unless I'm using side sync via my laptop.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] polhallen:
I mean if writing with S7E is handy as a flat screen :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
Is harder to type on compared to a flat screen, and has a strong learning curve (no pun intended)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] evilvoice:
I believe since your note 4 is rooted, you have done some editing. If I'm not mistaken, you are using the full screen caller mod. Unless they changed it from the note 3 and s5, which uses a small picture, to a full size picture on the note 4, I'm sure it's a mod you've installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] EvanWasHere:
The speaker is maybe 2x the volume of the Note 4. It's VERY loud.

No.. I am impressed. The stuff I listed is just the annoying things that I would love fixed. The camera seems to take great pics. Fast to load up. Fast to take the pic. RAW option is awesome. Autofocus is fast. Front facing "wide" camera option is awesome. It's just annoying that it shoots in 4:3. All monitors, laptops, TVs (of the last decade), tablets, phones, etc are all wide (like 16:9). Nothing is 4:3 anymore. So now every picture I take, doesn't fill the screen.

​

If your fingers not to grip the edge of the screen, then you should have no issue. I was getting better at it, but then my case arrived and I stopped having to do it that way.

Not exactly a "bug". More like a new way to use the phone. But yes, after training, you will have no issue typing one handed. But I would advise getting a case anyways, as the phone is slippery as hell.

Yes, I was using the TEKXodus ROM on my Note 4 phone which def had that. But I saw images online of the S6 have this come as standard. I really don't want to root this phone, so I am hoping there is some kind of solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] marcgear:
That's cool mate cheers I was more than happy with the note so I should be over the moon with the s7 edge. So overall are u happy you switched?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] EvanWasHere:
90%. I just need to make sure the lack of swappable battery is not an issue. I actually have a charging station at my apartment for all my friends who came here with iphones and android phones who desperately need to charge their phones in the middle of the day. I never had this issue. I have literally never gone anywhere and asked if I can use a place to charge up. Bringing a few extra Note 4 batteries with me was always the solution. That's why it's a shame that there is no small jean pocket size solution for the S7, that can charge the phone fully within an hour.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
The 6000mah Aukey battery is small and likely your best bet. You have to remember that a 3-4k battery won't fully charge your phone. Some of that capacity is lost due to heat and inefficiencies while charging. I carry the Aukey 6000mAh battery in my backpack and its light/small enough that I forget it's there. A smaller battery would be nice but it would need to be at least 4-5K if you want any possibility of a 0-100% charge. I had a RavPower 20100mah battery that only charger at ~60-70% efficiency which is pretty good for an external battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] EvanWasHere:
As a backpack battery, the Aukey 6000 is great.. But I barely carry a bag when i go out. And now that summer is coming up, I wont have a large jacket to carry the bag. So I need something I can carry in my jeans front pocket that has Quickcharge 2.0 so I don't have to keep it cabled for more than an hour.
