[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] tlogank:
I REALLY like this phone size, speed, screen, camera, etc. Almost everything is great, which is saying a lot because this is my first non-rooted phone and I was nervous about it. I've disabled the Verizon and Samsung apps I don't care for, so I am good there. The problem is, battery life is pretty bad considering how much it was raved. My LG G3 could easily get the same battery life/SOT. I'm on wifi 85% of the day, good signal strength, yet I barely can get 2.5-3hrs screen time and ALWAYS have to charge during the day. Like others, the Android OS is what's killing my battery. I am within my 14 day return window, and I am starting to think the issues won't be fixed, so it might be time to consider a different phone. Hoping for some help or suggestions here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] cell128:
Just got this phone yesterday this is my first cycle. I'm not sure why you're getting 2.5-3 I almost got 6hrs and all LTE too... Mostly gaming and browsing some streaming YouTube to my car with blutotooth. I'm very impressed so far even though Android system still showed up on mine as a top consumer. I'll try to get 6hrs screen time if I turn on power saving maybe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] drynyks:
+1 my battery usage looks a lot like this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] jayb222:
Looks about right. That's what I get. It's great battery life for usage. People just get paranoid about Android system using power in standby. Hopefully the next update Congress to Verizon soon and helps the battery get even better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Rlin5741:
Did you guys do any disabling? Do you have push email or push exchange, location, etc? I have moderate battery life - about 2.5 hrs SOT on a 17-18 hr charge cycle. I would expect to get better SOT if I used it more often, but obviously at the expense of overall battery life.

I think Android System hides a long t of battery hogs - I think lots of apps will wake the phone to sync or perform background activity or notfy, which gets caught as Android system.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Bruce Lee:
Disabling apps that aren't really needed really help in my opinion with battery life. Disabling location history helps. Turning off some of those unneeded wifi search settings helps too. I turned off the always on display. I think my record was something around 4 hours of screen on time. Using the gear s2 smartwatch I got in the mail from Verizon really decreased my battery life. I am exploring ways to fix that since i really like the watch.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamiee6610:
After much messing about from EE i finally got the phone delivered!

Th G5 isnt much different from the handset i had a chance to use the other week. I have started to sit down look at it and work my way through the phone and see how its different from the G4.

First thing most people have commented on is the lack of app draw theres launchers you can install true but if you look under home settings your see you can also use Google Now Launcher that will give you an app draw.

Battery life i will comment more on in a few days but its fast charging works well what i was pleased about unlike my other halfs 5X the USB cable with this is only USB C one side!

The screen is a nice clear screen seemed ok in bright light im not 100% sure its better than the G4 (which im not a fan of in bright light) but it seemed ok? Nice sensitive and responsive.

Camera...... to be fair and honest the primary camera isnt any different to what im using on the G4 i will gladly post some comparisons in the the photography thread in the next few days after a bit more scrutiny but for what i am seeing they are like for like?

The 8mp wide angle seemed better than the one i used in the shop theres less artifacting on the photos in darker aeras but its still not blowing me away. Panorama with the wide angle lense is subject to a lot of distortion and skewing of areas from what i am experiencing. The main camera with wide angle performs well though i seem to have more positive results going right to left than left to right. Is this a software issue in stitching that can be tweeked? I guess so?

My handset can shoot photos with some basic filters built in, the black and white photography was very nice and clean with good ratios of light and dark.

Still im not over impressed with the gimmick options for the photography, i would have been good to see LG use both cameras effectively together as well and individually. If they had took a leaf out of HTC's book and they could have gave us some very cool smart blur, bokeh effects and improved low light photography utilising both sensors for a composite on details at low light as well as faster shutter speeds.

I genuinely do feel LG have missed the boat or better start working hard to bring us more in future updates giving LG G5 users a much more bigger and impressive functionality of the camera/s. 2 cameras independently and no synchronised use seems a waste?

Sound seems nice and fairly loud, phone calls are audible enough though my complaint with that im not sure if theres some kind of issue with earphones but i tried my earphones on both the G4 and G5 and the sound by default was preferable with the G4, again im sure its something that can be tweaked in an update?

Please ask any questions you may have?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tallblazer124:
Overal is it worth signing a 2 year contract to get this phone coming from a LG g4?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamiee6610:
Only if you like myself was at the end of your contract and getting the phone for free like me or interested in the modular system? Its a great phone but the G4 is just as good without any of the extra bells and whistles in my opinion?

I loving the look of the phone but that dont make it work any better.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mic141414:
how is the gap with the modular part? I saw some unboxing and some have a big gap and they are very unhappy with that.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamiee6610:
Mine is fine thanks

LG G5 LED Notification

Please let me know, does it have LED Notification or not.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] magnus0322:
It has LED notifications yes

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

My gap is practically unnoticeable unless I look hard for it. I do notice it doesn't quite line up 100%, as in some of the lines resulting from where the bottom of the phone and the screen meet aren't exactly straight. However, it is so miniscule most users wouldn't notice. I'm extremely picky and I'm satisfied
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] swazey:
Ditto. It's not enough for me to return the device or even complain about.

As I've been using the phone more each day, I've come to really enjoy and appreciate the experience.

I am also about to pull the trigger on this. I currently have an LG G3 and use it for heavy gaming but its gettiing laggy with newer titles (even with root and optimizations) Do you guys think G5 and SD820 will last 24 months in terms of performance specially in gaming ? How do u find the screen compared to S7 and or G3 ? and finally can you post your opinions about battery life ?

Thanks
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] turbodroid:
I am not a gamer so I cannot comment on game performance, but the overall general performance of the phone compared to the G3 is significant. I also came from a G3 that was rooted and optimized a bit and bone stock, this G5 blows it away. The battery life is very similar to the G3 with the difference being for me as I am a battery swapper and always plugged a 100% charged battery in and the phone would stay on 100% for a considerable time before dropping battery. Unfortunately I don't have my spare battery and charger yet so the battery isn't staying fully charged nearly as long. At the same brightness levels, the G5 screen seems sharper and just looks better overall when I compare them side by side. Hope this is helpful.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] _ray_:
Cheers m8. Those S7 vs G5 comparisons are really starting to make me think that G5 display is too dull. I will have to see it myself in person to decide now.

[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] mustasusi:
Hello everyone,

I just bought a Note edge from Sprint and it came with Lollipop 5.1.1 pre-installed out of the box. Based on my Note 4 experience I know it's impossible to downgrade back from 5.1 to 4.4 - other than replacing the entire logic board. I need to take this downgrade so I can execute SSU to GSM unlock internationally (already donated to dev, trust me) and have [MENTION=3575078]mikereidis[/MENTION] Spirit running+recording properly. I did it on my Note 4 and it seems to work OK so I know it would work for Edge as well. I thought perhaps someone could provide a good 4.4 NANDroid file to restore from TWRP (without personal app data as I'm not looking into read your whatsapp chats or whatsoever) or link me to somewhere storing a selection of various NAND versions, I'm sure someone ever bothered to NAND KitKat, dump it and upload to web. And please spare me all your speculations about Lollipop vs Kitkat - as long as Spirit doesn't work it's kinda deal-breaker to me. I could live with NextRadio if it wasn't tied up to Americas regulations, skipping the even freqs and have too limited Stereo threshold. Don't want online streaming solutions either - I use Tunein too but it's not enough. I'd appreciate any response in advance.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] freeza:
I have an edge with kitkat on it. I suppose I can give you the system backup

[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] mustasusi:
All right! I'm gonna try it in a few hours, soon as I get home and will report back how's it going. Can't wait to try it out.

========================================================================================================================

So far no luck. It gets stuck on "Note Edge" splash screen. I guess there should be more than just System partition to flash the eMMC with to boot up correctly. On my Note 4 I tick everything there is to tick and it works a treat.View attachment 3724605

Maybe not all rubrics are necessary such as EFS and Modem (it stays the latest version flashed by Odin and the same for baseband) but a complete backup template would save me a lot of frustration, unless it is too much for you to upload... *Maybe I should buy your phone, I remember I saw you mentioning it's up for sale...
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] freeza:
i can post up the kernel. that will have it booting more than likely. what kernel were you using when trying to boot this one?

EDIT: here's the kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636004610

rename to boot.emmc.win
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] mustasusi:
Still no go. Before trying yours I was using Emotion or Beastmode probably, the one came with the last custom LP ROM I flashed, since I had nothing other. Maybe I'm not doing right. The TWRP backups are recognized by a certain folder structure. Under TWRP folder which is located in either int or ext memory, there is a folder named "4fd5c215" or something alike, then you have folders named after a version build number and date of creations, where the actual backup files are. For instance the lollipop backup goes like "2016-04-03--06-53-33_LMY47X.N915PVPU4COG1". Do I need to place the Kitkat files in a similar path pattern intended for 4.4 versions?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] freeza:
I think it's your updated bootloader that's causing it to not boot
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] mustasusi:
I used to think the same, but then I took that very non-risky gambling, downgraded my Note 4 all the way from newest Marshmellow back to 4.4!

Maybe these backups are unique to the very same device they were created on. I never tried my NANDs on another Note IVs ;)
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] freeza:
I've restored nandroids on replacement phones before without a problem :)
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] mustasusi:
I know I'm the one doing wrong here. Do the folder structure and labeling syntax have to be accurate?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] cRiMiNaL_Genius:
Freeza are youable to give him the full nandriod, i have restored nandriods to other phones as well however on the edge I've found that the phone starts up weird when you have remnants of the previous firmware full nandriod flash seems to work better, unfortunately i dont have any kitkat versions
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] mustasusi:
I'm still looking into buy [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] 's device since I know for sure it has Kitkat pre-installed. Ebay is a blind bet and there's no guarantee there.

I am sure there are alot of X50 (not V) users who would like to have such an update.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but still...

As far as I know the main difference between the X50 and the X50v is the VGA screen (and speed of CPU - 624MHz). If this is true, how difficult can it be to convert the already working WM6 for X50v to X50?

Maybe some of the developers can share this issue with us???

Thanks in advance. :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Someone with an X50 would have to develop the ROM because the bootloader and ROM images have differences between the X50 and X50v. I *think* (unless I'm forgetting about any prior discussion over this question) the only thing holding X50 back from WM6 is the lack of a ROM developer who actually owns an X50 as opposed to an X50v. As far as I know, MagLite only has X50v(s), so he could not develop an X50 ROM. You might ask him if he'd be kind enough to develop an X50 ROM, assuming that someone would be willing to donate an X50 to him. Just a thought. Sorry I don't have any better news for you all. :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gellish:
Thanks cavyman for your note.

Still I do not understand:

Since the HW is more or less the same (except CPU clock and maybe a graphical processor), the

bootloader

should be the same (I do not think the HW is to be changed for the bootloader).

As for the

ROM

itself, I guess you are using an emulator for the X50v and recompiling the WM6 sources to this platform (you need the real HW just for checking if this is working in the REAL world...), so if this is the situation, can someone share the sources and the emulator and maybe someone from the communitiy will be able to recompile it and test it...

I am not sure I have enough knowledge for this, but I may try... :D

Am I correct???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
no i dont believe they use emulators as emulators dont emulate the hardware

and it all comes down to drivers

just 1 diff in a driver and it dont boot

just 1 diff in the memery map in the bootloader and it dont boot (may even turn into a brick)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Exactly! One given difference is the video driver. I suppose if you could extract the driver from an X50 ROM and port it into the X50v ROM, there could be a chance of getting it to work. However, the fact still remains that memory mapping is probably different. I am not sure why someone else hasn't ported WM6 to X50, but I also don't know of a WM5 ROM for X50. I'm guessing there has to be a very good reason why someone hasn't been able to do it yet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
yes believe much of the driver foundation was changed with wm5 over wm2003 so few wm2003 driver can be used at all

many wm5 drivers seem to be usefull for tayloring wm6's though
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
Anyone with a x50 can customize it's rom to a WM6 one. You need to updrade to WM5 last level of rom, than dump the rom to gets it's WM5 nb0. Once you have the nb0, you can customize it using the tools available in stickies from Bepe and Mamaich. For an x51, it's even easier because you can get your nb0 with the img2nb0 tool.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gellish:
Dear makuu,

Can you please elaborate on this suggestion?

I have X50 with WM5 A02 (which is the last one I know was officially out...).

Suppose I can extract the ROM out of it (nb0 file), this is still WM5 not WM6... So how can I convert it to WM6?

Don't I need the sources of WM6 or something???

:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] makuu:
You get the nb0 like mentioned here:

http://www.aximsite.com/boards/x50-...w-create-your-own-flash-images-your-axim.html

Than you use the rom editing tool from stickies here:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260 (those from Mamaich and Bepe).

You can first try to edit the existing WM6 ROM from Maglite, to have an idea but I guess that you can just take the appropriate files from his rom. You also need to work on xip like explained here:

Hi,

As it is not here, I would use caution when buying on Ebay.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gellish:

Ebay has X50V rather than X50

Guys,

currently, it seems that those sellers have the X50V verison and not the X50 (midrange).

I asked the file list of their delivery and found out that (according to the file name) it is for X50V...

If I'll have new news - I will post them...
