[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] stormlv:
I see.

Did you happen to note exactly which were the areas that were impacted?

Was it an overall improvement, or did some tests improve dramatically?

I know that the 3D tests for instance are vastly behind the Snapdragon 820 for example.

Marooned gives ~20k score on the Exinos, while on the Snapdragon 820 it puts out ~30k, which is why the S7 Edge is a bit in front in the Antutu scores

Thanks

I'm a bit torn between waiting for a fix from Samsung or tripping KNOX and getting root :|
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] el7145:
Just did a test without the governor set to Performance, on default its set at interactive.

On Interactive i got 132873. with the governor set to Performance i get 133943. So, my mistake, there is no difference in changing the governors, at least how it relates to Antutu.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] stormlv:
Thanks a lot for redoing the tests man!

Shameless plug but CCSWE App Manager (SAMSUNG) can be used to disable these applications as well. This specific problem was what motivated me to create the (SAMSUNG) variant of CCSWE App Manager.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] stormlv:
I disabled all game related services (GameLauncher, Game Tools, Gamepad Service and GamerService) and my problems are gone!

Thanks a lot dude!

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

The only thing I don't really feel comfortable with is the fact that I have to leave the app (Package Disabler Pro) running with admin rights :(

Once I disable the admin, all services get restarted which kinda sucks.

What was Samsung thinking when they put those services in place?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] machx0r:
This was my concern as well and why I developed my own solution. For what it's worth I looked at their code and there is nothing nefarious going on in there. That doesn't mean a future update won't change that and also doesn't give anyone confidence in my solution...

Unfortunately it is what it is and just the way the Samsung Enterprise Device Manager, which both application use, works as far as I've been able to determine. I am still researching if there is an option to change this behavior, and retain the disables packages/components after device admin is revoked, but so far it's not looking like there is a way to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] stormlv:
Thanks for the explanation!

To be honest, I checked your app as well and you only had 9 downloads and two reviews which is why I chose the former app :(

I guess it's a bit like the current job market: need experience to get hired -> need to get hired to get experience.

At least once I root my phone, I know which apps are going to go first.

For now, I disabled admin rights for the app, so my problems are back - but hey at least I know a temporary solution :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] machx0r:
Completely understand and probably would have made the same choice myself.

For others considering CCSWE App Manager (SAMSUNG) it is a spin off from CCSWE App Manager (ROOT) which has existed since 2012, has ~18K downloads and a 4.0 rating with 221 reviews. No where near what Package Disabler Pro has but I also offer features they don't (ie: the ability to hide icons by disabling activities and disabling specific services rather than just the entire application).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] el7145:
I'm not sure if people have heard of this, but I hear titanium backup up is pretty good, lol

10million downloads, 4.6 rating

Although I'm sure your app is simply amazing
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] machx0r:
Agree 100%. Titanium Backup is amazing. With that said I wrote CCSWE App Manager because I needed something lighter weight that could also disable specific activities not just entire packages. Titanium Backup also requires root which Package Disabler Pro and my application do not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] stormlv:
+1

I have paid for Titanium Backup and used it since forever, but since I don't have root I need apps like yours!

Similar game issues

I posted a thread in gs7 help about severe flickering and glitchy behavior in gear vr when using fast head rotation or even in gunjack standard playing that doesnt exist on my note5. So just now i did a test with quadrant (have used all others previously and the gs7 blew my note5 apart) interestingly quadrant showed the s7 winning in all except i/o. The gs7 came in on two test at around 10k and the note5 two test came in at near 24k. So maybe the s7 has I/O bottleneck?
[Elephone P8000] Cooperuk:
Hi all,

having had the malware come through in the recent OTA update, I decided to do a factory reset to get all my data off quickly before any of it went to someone it shouldn't. Before the OTA the phone was working perfectly!

Unfortunately, after that, I have not been able to get connected to 3 Mobile (UK) although it worked before. I get the "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later." message.

I've flashed a variety of ROMS, from old stock, to new stock, to Eragon.....none of which allow me to get on my network.

Wifi works fine.

The IMEI did disappear, but I was able to follow instructions online and manually reinsert them successfully.

I wonder if I have somehow knocked out the RF frequencies as I did not know I needed to make a backup of these.

ANY help you can give me to rescue what is a pretty decent phone (let down by Elephone's software!) would be great.

Thanks!

[Elephone P8000] Cooperuk:
Some progress - oddly enough I tried restoring the IMEI numbers to the opposite SIM sockets and now the RADIO setting declares that it is on.

I think this is because it is a very early version of the phone and perhaps the SIM labelling was the wrong way round. Who knows.

I've attached some screenshots of what seems to be going on right now. Any ideas? Anyone?
[Elephone P8000] stonedpsycho:
Glad you have managed to sort of sort it. For 3g have you selected that in mobile data settings?

I live in Ireland and have an unbranded 928f. I upgraded to android 6.0.1 via OTA this morning. Everything seems fine (except Samsung removed the option of having weather on the lockscreen)

One issue I am having is I don't have google now on tap. When I long press the home button I get google now but not now on tap. I updated my play services via the playstore when I upgraded to Android 6.0. I checked the setting on google now and now on tap is not mentioned anywhere.

Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegios:
If you use touch wiz I guess you cannot have not now and now on tap, as the command is the same.

Install Google Launcher.

For all the <5 inch phone lovers (or just those with small hands), I'd like to start/find a thread where we can discuss any kind of "smaller" phone we'd buy, that isn't necessarily the budget phone you'd buy your kid.

To start off:

Jiayu G5S

So called iPhone 5 clone

4.5 inch

Stainless steel

Sadly very difficult to find in stock for a reasonable price

http://www.gizchina.com/2014/06/28/octacore-jiayu-g5s-review/

Jiayu G4

4.7 inch

Plastic cover

Again, very difficult to still find in stock

http://www.gizchina.com/2013/08/01/jiayu-g4-advanced-review-one-week-of-normal-usage/

These are phones that'd win over my heart (Jiayu G4 did, though it's awaiting power-button repairs now), but I'd love it if we can have this thread to share more phones that fall into the non-gigantic category.

If there is a thread like this, I'd love to hear about it.

Hi all,

On my new, but still rooted, Galaxy S7, I am trying to make a symlnk for my SD card in the root FS, but up to now, nothing works. I did that on my HTC M8 (android V5), but I had to include "init D", if I remember well (more than 2 years ago) and it worked very well on my Galaxy S3 (Android V4, but here I don't remember how I did that).

Can someone help me to do that ?

Many thanks.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imrock0:
My friend wanted to root his Moto X XT1092. We unlocked the bootloader(this means "Allow OEM Unlock" was enabled) and the device was erased. When prompted for Google Account, we couldn't proceed as my friend had forgotten his password. Luckily, we were able to reset the password and Yes, we did gain access to the phone when we signed in with the new password. Then when i flashed TWRP Recovery and then flashed SuperSU, and i forgot about flashing custom kernel. The device was stuck on the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" Logo and then i came to know i had to flash a custom kernel as well. When i flashed custom kernel, the device booted successfully, but the FRP kicked in and it has got us locked out, as the password had been reset.

So what options do i have other than to wait for 3 days? The device has an unlocked bootloader and TWRP Recovery installed, is there any way to bypass FRP or is the phone now a paper-weight for 3 days?

Thank you for your Info. never thought that it would be so quick here. So yesterday I downloaded android 6, did the flashing again. and it works fine now.

So for all the other Motorola Moto G 3rd generations users.

When you root the phone in Android 5, and you update it with official OTA Android 6, don't root the phone again with some App like KingRoot, as the phone OS might be bricked. Also to flash the Motorola, in that status which I got. You don't need the boot loader unlocking code from Motorola, eather you don't need to activate developer mode. Just download Android 6, and flash it. FASTBOOT DEVICES - code to be sure your phone is recognize it by your PC.

Thanks again to the XDA people and (therealduff1) which help me very quick
[Huawei Watch] tu3218:
I've only had this watch for a couple days and I already have a couple nicks on the watch itself. Not the screen but the watch. Ridiculous. I'm very careful with electronics. I don't get this. Kinda disappointing and makes me want to return it. How's everyone else's all black holding up?
[Huawei Watch] bouchigo:
Mine's fine, had it for over 2 months now. Maybe you don't take care of it as well as you think you do :confused:

Not a chance. My Sony sw3 is in perfect conditions. Have had it over a year today. I've had the Huawei watch 2 days and haven't done anything with it. Pretty sad. Awesome watch otherwise.
[Huawei Watch] bouchigo:
Don't now what to tell you then, my watch is fine...2 choices I suppose:

1. Return the watch if you aren't happy with it.

2. Keep it and deal with it.
[Huawei Watch] homesik_alien:
That's the problem with black. If you bought silver, you could remove/buff off the scratches. using cape cod on the mirror parts or a brillo pad on the brushed metal parts.

But I admit, black is more cool!
[Huawei Watch] TheSeanTeam:
Where are the scratches? How many do you have?

I've had mine since day one and I'm definitely not treating it with kid gloves and I don't see any scratches or blemishes. I know I've bumped it a few times...

Perhaps you have a defective unit?
[Huawei Watch] crawrj:
I've had mine 3 months. I try to be careful and conscious of doing things with it on. I'll take it off if I'm working in tight quarters around metal or sharp objects. But I've still hit it against something on several occasions. A couple of times it was hard enough to scare me. But I have no marks anywhere on the watch.
[Huawei Watch] chachin:
just like [MENTION=673989]crawrj[/MENTION] mine hasn't been scratch.. but the bracelet is scratched like hell you can see it too but you have to take my watch away from me to see it :P other than that the watch itself is still scratch-less
[Huawei Watch] pmathis:
I have 1 bezel scratch...gonna try black enamel paint to patch it.
[Huawei Watch] jlczl:
No worries OP. You're watch isn't defective. It's just the nature of the beast. My black Huawei has a couple of nicks in it and the band itself has wear marks but it looks way cooler than the ss IMO. A little black paint in the nicks and they disappear anyway.
[Huawei Watch] iazybandit:
Just found out that there is a full body skin protector that will protect the watch - http://amzn.to/1UJjJ3K
[Huawei Watch] pmathis:
Please be aware that the skin above doesn't protect the bezel. I used some black enamel gloss model paint on a scratch I had just above the power/hardware button - it's done a great job and you wouldn't see the scratch without looking for it.

[Huawei Watch] Covart:
Just so you know, Huawei used DLC coating over the stainless steel body, which is what high end watch makers use. This isn't cheap black powder coating or paint like you find on the LG G watch R. So, if you have scratched it hard enough to see the silver underneath, then you have hit the watch pretty hard.

I have had my Huawei since before release day and I don't treat it any different than I would a Casio. It has scratches, took a big hit to the bezel and so on. It has signs of wear and I don't mind that. It is a watch for Christ's sake!

Through monitoring many battery cycles. I've had Greenify since the beginning and is still running it on my Droid MAXX. The best way to increase battery life on Nougat is to disable your notifications manually on apps. FB for example is a battery hog but you can mitigate a lot of that by turning off functions from within the app. If not, it will keep draining even with Greenify enabled. My idle drain is improved without Greenify, it goes into doze much better. Aggressive doze never worked properly for me.
