[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] juu666:
I believe the phone is actually always on, even when powered off. I was an airliner passenger last night, had it in Airplane Mode, and then felt it vibrate in my pocket. The phone had rebooted on its own, so I shut it off completely since I wasn't sure what was going on. Later, while it was *shut off*, I felt it get warm, pulled it out and the blue indicator light was flashing, but the phone was off and unresponsive. I held the power button down briefly to reboot it, and it rebooted in airplane mode, just as would be expected had it been shut off while in airplane mode. When it came back on, it had reset the date to February 10, the battery had decreased from 52% to 25% in the two hours since I had shut if off, and the time was displayed in negative seconds (!), something like 7 million. All the weirdness ended when I rebooted it after landing and inactivated airplane mode. I'm not sure what was going on but I am definitely sure that after I turned the phone off, the notification light continued to blink, the device became warm, and it experienced significant battery drain. I therefore believe it is actually never off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] nique0201:
You may have thought you turned it off but didn't. You have to hit the power button twice on screen to complete the action. The first time just highlights it. I'm willing to bet you hit it once assumed it was off and pocketed it. Trust me it turns off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] 42freelancer:
Murphys law: craziness can and will happen. This thread is pointless and should be closed. All phones "turn off" completely. You don't have a 'sleeper cell' for a phone, laying dormant yet on while you believe it's off. You have to really be dense to believe otherwise.

Hi All,

I would like to use my HR working with ANT+ , without ANT+ dongle.

Did someone test/try to enable ANT+ (ant hal service) for our Gpro ? Seems Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 (APQ8064) is the same used by Galaxy S4, ANT+ capable.

Is there ant hal service running on Lollipop Rom ? (I'm running on stock kitkat rooted right now...)
[LG Optimus G Pro] jcdid:
Can someone help me and post ANT Checker result with Lollipop ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] robertc88:
I have been unable to play games that I have tried on my S7 Edge in an alternate screen mode as my preference to avoid saturated vivid colors. I tried changing the setting to anything but adaptive but as soon as the game starts running it changes almost immediately from the assigned mode and just runs it in adaptive.

For a simple quick test, just install Subway Surfers or Temple Run and change the screen mode to basic or whichever and see if that is what is happening on your end.

Thanks much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] nrfitchett4:
The setting stayed basic though I honestly didn't notice any change in color saturations between the right choices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] gatordon22:
From what I am seeing this is a wide spread issue that many others have noticed. I play Clash of Clans and Candy Crush and the colors are way to blown out and you can see the screen change when you enter and exit games. I have my screen set at basic.

When i was stuck in that screen the only way i found to get out of it was to remove the back cover and disconnect the battery
[HTC One Mini 2] Tiburcio U123:
I have the same problem

-I have rooted my htc mini2 and after a while decided to restore the original ROM but everytime i turn on the phone i have that red warning message.

One day i decided to delete de TWRP backup files bacause it takes a lot of space on my internal memory .

Yesterday my baterry died so when i was turning my phone it gets stuck on that message screen . So i can't get through because on my internal memory i don't have the TWRP files to backup or get into recovery mode.

Is there any solution? i was thinking about putting those files on my sd card and see if the phone will read them?
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Download Nandroid files for your phone and place it in SD Card via computer and then restore it via TWRP..
[HTC One Mini 2] Tiburcio U123:
Ok but how am i going to install TWRP on my phone? i've deleted . Is there a way of doing all this process completely on SD card?
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
No, not possible from SDCard alone, you have to flash TWRP by placing TWRP in PC ADB folder (ADB must be installed in PC and device should be able to enter bootloader and fastboot) and entering bootloader>fastboot on device, then connect device to PC, this only works on unlocked devices.

Command is :

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot erase cache
[HTC One Mini 2] schneefritz:
Hey, i had the same issue. After rooting my phone, when my phone died because of the low battery, the same thing happened to me.

The solution is pretty simple, actually - you have to restart the charging unit of your phone.

So what you gotta do is this:

leave it to charge a couple of minutes (so it will have enough power to boot again) and then just press all the buttons of your phone at the same time and hold it for up to 10 seconds, so power button + volume up + volume down.

This will restart your charging unit and it will get your phone to boot normally again. :fingers-crossed:

I don't know why this keeps happening, but I have to do it all the time, if my phone dies. So I try to make sure it has enough battary not to die, because it is just annoying.
[HTC One Mini 2] petie2106:
i have the same problem. if you hold the power button + volume up you can reboot your phone if it is frozen.
[HTC One Mini 2] Ty5982:
the trick is to keep hold of power vol up & vol down for 2 mins,it will boot,reboot,boot,reboot loads of times,keep hold for at least 2 mins,once you let go it resets itself:good:
[HTC One Mini 2] hanro50:
make sure you have a some means of installing Android back onto your phone placed on your SD card or internal storage

I recommend updating to the latest version of twrp before trying these (I used 3.0.2.0)

twrp>wipe>advanced wipe>select everything but: "/Micro SDCard" "/Internal Storage" "SD-EXT" and "USB-OTG

after that install Android by restoring from a recovery backup or instal a custom rom onto your device (whatever floats your boat)
[Other Tools & General Discussion] SaQada:
In order to check whether an app has a new version, we have to send HTTP request to some server where a .txt file is located, and compare its content with the current app version. So, we need a

static

URL for that purpose. I found that dropbox.com and box.com are very good places to store the file and modify its content without changing the URL.

1st question: Are there any other alternatives for dropbox and box?

2nd question: Does it comply with Google Play Policy if we send http requests periodically to these servers without a user's notice?

Look forward to your responses. Thanks.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] pbeckmann:
To your first question: There are a lot of services. You can go to a simple shared hosting. There are some providers who offers you a small amount of storage for zero costs. You can use Google's Appengine, too, or as you suggested use Dropbox.

But, what do you want to do, if you see, the app on the user's device isn't the newest. If you want to redirect to an update in the play store, don't use such a method. Just wait until the play store notify the user. If you want to provide a link to the new version outside of the play store, store the file at the same place.

As a short idea: Use JSON or XML to provide the data on server side instead of some custom plain text structure.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] SaQada:
Thanks for you reply, I appreciate it. Yes, I use JSON format to store data about an app version. The app will send periodically HTTP requests to that file and if there is an app version difference I will show a dialog to a user indicating that there is a newer version. The dialog will contain 2 buttons: UPDATE (which will redirect to Play Store) and CLOSE. I don't have issues with how to implement. The interesting moment is where to store that file. You mentioned that "There are some providers who offers you a small amount of storage for zero costs", can you please note how to find such providers? I have some fears about it, because I could have many HTTP requests and it can be suspicious for such free of charge providers.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] pbeckmann:
It shouldn't be to much calls in a short period of time, cause you shouldn't ask the server for the file too often. If you plan to make monthly updates, its possible enough to query the file, one time in a week. In such a case, the amount is not so big even with thousands of installations. The other point with providers, is afaik they're looking about traffic, not hits, so a small file, won't create really much traffic, even with thousands of calls. If you care, look for something like cloudflare, cause dropbox is limiting too. They are shutting down public links, if they think, you abuse their service, then your file wouldn't be downloadable anymore.

But the problem you always have with those ways is, that the user possible gets the notification and opens the playstore, but Google hasn't proceed your update, or the local cache is too old, so they just got the information, that they have the newest version of your App.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] SaQada:
Actually my current app has more than 100.000 active users and I plan to send HTTP requests at least once a day. It means 100.000 requests to a file in a day. That's why I worry about dropbox like sites, as you said they can simply restrict to access the file. I will take a look at cloudflare, maybe this is what I need.

Another solution would be for me to have several servers to store a file and distribute HTTP requests among them. I think this is more reliable way.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] gsainath4u:
In my opinion, it is better to leave it to Google to notify the users that there is a new update available.

As the previous user mentioned, how will you handle the situation where you notify the user that there is a new update, but Google did not process and push your update?

Hi,

ordered sgs7edge so i received my VR gear...

I was happy,

but VR Gear is bad...

in 1950 the Quality of picture was same or better... TERRIBLE

Terribile, un watchable.... discovery movie, ha ha ha, it was like bad bad old cinema, it is impossible to read...or see the face...

pictures are so bad, you can't see nature or colors, you see mega pixels and no resolution, NO DETAILS... so if you watch nature, you are not sure what are you watching..you can't see face of narrator, without details.. 240p is better,,

on phone display, pictures are good, but after you put vr on, is bad bad bad...

i think that screen of s7 is not good,,,too much big pixels... 8K or 4K display are better

even menu in VR is difficult to read...

and i was impressed that even Facebook Mark was on presentation...Did he try this '' new technology?''

if this is technology for 2016... please go home...oculus and samsung...

menu of vr gear is un watchable too.... and everything in their shop is for pay...pay for what?

it is o.k. for tree years children,for some stupid game but for me is not good, i want at least 720p quality when i watch something on VR.... but 120p quality is not for 2016

While I don't have the VR yet for S7E, but I used to have S6E, and paired it with 2nd gen Gear VR and i can say it's awesome, even though maybe it's not full 4K or whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AVriANCE:
I've got my S7 Edge with the VR headset as well and I do admit while fun, the resolution isn't all that fantastic. I wasn't expecting much from £80 worth of VR headset and while it is entertaining at first, it'll most likely end up in the box gathering dust.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Robalboa:
Setting settings settings. look in the settings. lol the resolution is superb if you set it up right

i have my friends here and all are disappointing by VR quality .... you can read or see object.. city is but you can't see it good... 240p on tv is better...

Tried to launch the netflix VR app, maybe I had to high expectations but the resolution was pretty bad.

and YES i adjusted everything the right way.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] dkl_uk:
I'm getting the impression here that the quality of your videos may be hampered by your connection speed. The first 10-15 seconds of the free videos via Vimeo come through looking awful initially, but once the buffer is set and the phone knows what speed it can utilise, the video cracks right into the best quality I've seen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ranova:
so my expectations to use this to watch movies on a plane is shot because the quality looks like crap? :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] hboos:
yeah it's not that great but what did you guys expect.. you are looking at a phone screen from about 5 cms away - and it's going to be magnified. of course you are going to see pixels and it's not going to be crystal clear and sharp etc.

but the gear vr was never intended to be a awesomely high quality experience.. not for £80 pounds. For that you can pay £600 for the oculus rift or the HTC vive. The gear VR is good for introducing people to VR and just general fun for the sake of fun.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] tropicocity:
I can attest that the Gear VR does really expose the pixels on your screen. Yes, it's a 2560x1440 screen and the screen itself is possibly the best screen ever put onto a phone, but you can SEE the pixels themselves when wearing the gear VR. The way the lenses magnify it to achieve the FOV, even watching a 4K-made VR porno (yes, a VR porn) you could see pixels noticably. I'd imagine the actual oculus doesnt have this issue as it does not rely on lenses magnifying a screen, but I won't know for sure until I try one. Overall, it takes a while to get used to the pixels but you can get used to it, especially with gaming content which shows it far less than filmed stuff does
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] hboos:
actually having compared it with the cardboard, movies actually look better in the cardboard app using the cardboard gear...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] blwc:
It's a $100 headset. If you want true VR...plunk down $500-1000 for a Vive or Oculus Rift. Get over it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] tefots:
You only need good and quality content.

Download and see any 360º / 180º xxx video from virtualrealporn (use a torrent searcher to get full videos), it's and amazing experience ,you will be change your opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] kikan:
ej, AVriANCE..... thank you for your reply ,

Do you have oculus rift ? Because it have even less resolution 2160 x 1200 so pixels are even bigger...i read reviews...

we need 8K dispay for 720p-1080p resolution in VR.

Hi,

Yes it is interesting, new, amazing and will be the future, but it is like us robotics modem that i bought and was 9600 bit/s.... it was slow, but was interesting...

same is this VR today.... i think that i will invest in VR companies...

with 8K display will be 1080p in VR world and this will be good...

I figure that I'll just wait for formulate an opinion of my own. Worse case scenario I can take it to Disc Replay and sell or trade it there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] FlyingColors:
A T-Mobile employee let me test it at the store with his Note 5, and while still pretty cool, the resolution was horrible. The scenes were blurry, no exaggeration.

I don't know if you can optimize it in the settings, but from what I saw it looked bad, but felt fun.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Intub8:
Just make sure you are on WiFi. If you are using late with binge on you need to turn off binge on because t-mobile throttles the bandwidth and lowers the quality. Also if you have a screen protector (the soft rubbery ones like zagg especially) it will lower the quality of the image. I have the s7 edge and the gear vr and it looked fantastic before I put the screen protector on it. Now it is a bit blurry. Once the pure tech roll on screen protector comes out I will be using that. Too bad we can't use tempered glass.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Sim-X:
While I think that is a harsh write up, I can't really dispute it and feel the same way. I read your post before I even tried mine and wanted to wait till I tried it but the screen looks like dog sh!t so you weren't kidding. Even if you focus it, the focus doesn't stay even and still some blurr off to the sides. I hate watching low quality anything be it an SD channel on TV, vertical videos or crappy youtube videos it's blah.

I will say it's still super impressive how it works and I can't wait till future versions are going to be pretty sick looking. Unlike 3D TV's which were not impressive at all, this is pretty cool but man up the quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] subcon959:
The only annoying thing for me is that I have an astigmatism so the focus is impossible to get right, and that I have to transcode the audio in my movie files to get oculus video to play it.

Other than that, I dunno, I think it's pretty awesome. Maybe it's a generation thing, maybe not.. but I was equally blown away when I got my first gaming console in the 70s. It just goes to show the level of expectation people have these days that being in a 3D virtual world in your own living room isn't somehow amazing enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Intub8:
You can also use the Google cardboard app with the gear vr. Just download package disabler and disable gear vr services and it frees you from being stuck with the oculus app. You can Google gear vr qr code for the Google cardboard setup to adjust the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Tw1sted247:
Some people have eyes that don't match up, its called their IPD some people's eyes pupils don't align with the focal points. Look it up. It's something they'll fix down the road. But in short your're the minority if you check reviews unfortunately the few not the many.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AVriANCE:
The VR quality has nothing to do with the sight (for me at least). The low resolution is simply the fact we're looking at our screen from an inch away with a magnifier... For those who don't have the VR it's a bit like looking at the food in the microwave through the metal grid...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] dazzer1975:
you sure it wasn't just that japanese stuff that pixelates out the good bits?

:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] meyerweb:
Right now, I consider the Gear VR + Quad HD screen to be more of a proof of concept. A technology demonstration of what VR will offer some day, but not today.

As the OP rather inelegantly stated, while QuadHD may be overkill for a phone, it's underwhelming once placed inches from your eyes with magnifying lenses. On anything white, I can see the individual pixels. On other light colors it's not as noticeable, but it's still there, reducing the sharpness of everything.

A bigger problem for me is that the damn thing is terribly uncomfortable, especially if (like me) you wear glasses. It just hurts to wear for more than a few minutes, even with my small frames. I can take the glasses off and adjust focus, but that leaves my astigmatism uncorrected. And even with my glasses off, it's still not very comfortable.

It's too heavy, and more importantly the weight is distributed badly. The heaviest part (the phone) is cantilevered out in front of your face, so it's constantly pulling the phone down and away from your face. Finally, I find the touch pad on the side poorly designed. Since it needs to be operated solely by feel, it should be more obviously differentiated from the rest of the side, and the selection button easier to press.

Even given those issues, the effects it provides, with the right content, is really cool. It tells me that a purpose built VR design, with the weight balanced (put the battery and other electronics behind the head, to balance the weight of the screen and lenses in front), a 4K (or maybe even 8K) screen, and easier to use controls will be truly awesome. And expensive.

For the price (especially free) it's a cool toy. But it's not something I would have bought, or something I'm likely to buy content for.

This thread is beyond silly. What exactly did you expect? 4k resolution running oculus games. This phone is not a vr headset. Even though the gear vr is the best one out there compared to all the Google cardboards. You want a proper vr experience go get the oculus rift or the HTC vive.
