Hello, I currently have on my XT925 with Stock KitKat TWRP 2.8.5.0. installed. Is there something more current or that has been the last version? Namely, since no working USB-OtG. :confused:
[K3 Note General] Kopytk0:
As in topic, what ROM is cleanest a.k.a. pure android? Is there something like Cyanogen for k3 note?

And which one in your opinion is most useful? (Like gestures, in-built applications, battery lifetime, performance etc.)

Is new VibeUI still loaded with tons of bloatware?

Cyanogenmod 12.1 ST5 by Cheschkin the best for cm based rom . others you can search at needrom . almost 200 rom are there
[K3 Note General] Phat Phreddy:
I am currently happy with the Shenge s424 rom (twrp backup). Has both android stock and vibe UI launchers.

The latest one (was a thread here but its vanished) seems to not have the data connection issues of the earlier s424 update I had.. And all around its fast enough, light enough, feels like near stock android and battery seems ok in the last 2 or 3 days of testing..

The only 'odd thing' happen is I have had an issue where the battery reporting was wrong, eg either said it wasnt charging, or said (rapidly just a few minutes after a reported full charge) said it was near empty, but with a reboot then was full batt again.. This may be down to me using a biltzwolf high amp multi socket charger on my desk confusing the phone. I have used the stock lenovo charger since then and not had an issue so dont know if it was charger, rom, combination of factors or what yet.

All in all this ROM is fine for my daily driver.. Unless I find something serious with it, I will stay on this long term, its the first MM rom which has been 100% for me as I dont like the vibeUI ones.
[K3 Note General] Kopytk0:
I gave a try to vibeUI, even latest stable one, but it's a disaster. Bloatware everywhere, bad translations problems with connectivity while traveling (losing signal).

All I am looking for is simple ROM with very few but high quality applications, no bugs and decent battery use. Kinda like stock android. Is that Android 5 or 6, I don't care.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daLareid:
Didn't find a main thread for silly questions such as this so hope it wasn't wrong for me to post this here, but I currently find myself in my phone going as low as 50% on a daily basis and I charge it next day at not lower then 40%, will this wear out the battery? am I really supposed to charge it when it's really low? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] siddhesh.raikar:
The latest in Li-ion batteries, as the one in our phones, one duty cycle is when you use 100% of the charge.

That is ifyou go from 100 to 0 that's one cycle.

If you go from 100 to 50, recharge and again 100 to 50, that's one cycle.

Batteries wear out depending on the number of duty cycles. More duty cycles, more wear.

So what you are doing will not wear out the battery.

Also I'm not sure about this, but it is recommended that newer batteries should not be completely discharged.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone else who can confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] J.Biden:
Modern batteries are not like older (10 years+) batteries. I'm not about to write a wall of facts here etc. etc, but I only have one thing to tell you:

Use your device, and don't worry about the battery. It'll do just fine until the day you decide to buy a new device. Now stop worrying and just use it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] origitat:
Same here, these batteries are tough. I am anal about my phone battery being charged. Haven't had an issue for years and I expect the same performance out of my S7E
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] neezy13:
Topping up your battery before it is fully discharged is the best way to extend your battery life. Modern batteries run best between 40%-80% charge. Minimize the number of times you fully discharge the battery as that is more likely to wear out the battery, although it is ok to use it until the phone shuts off once in a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ssgunner20:
Very impressed with the battery of the S7E. I charged to 100% last night and didn't charge until just an hr ago and was at 47%. Normal use in the morning til now. In n out of meeting, so its doing its job.

Now back to the topic of this thread, i've read some say these newer batteries should be power cycled at least once a month. Any one recommend that or against it? Haven't done it myself but did it a few times on my iPhone 6 Plus and that thing had an awesome battery even though its actually smaller than the S7E. Thoughts???
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] neezy13:
I've seen it recommended as often as once per month or as infrequently as once every 3 months. The general consensus is that it can be beneficial in that it can correct any issues that the phone software has in determining the battery's capacity, not that it is actually helping the battery itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] J.Biden:
Yup, I did that once in a while with my previous device (a Sony), and the battery on that one is still very good after nearly three years. I wouldn't do it that often though, but it's useful to do it when you notice the battery meter hangs on the lower numbers (like if 10% hangs for an unusually long time) or you've just flashed a ROM. The OS tends to get a little confused after some time, so it's okay to do it to "calibrate" the system again.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehnder:
After my usual cyanogenmod update through the CM Downloader app something different happened. Usually it just goes through the recovery to flash the update, reset automatically and it's all done, however this time it stopped at the recovery showing a lock picture, I unlocked it and it just stayed in the recovery main menu so I went into the menu to reset it manually.

Since then I've had no signal in my phone. I've tried resetting, with and without the sim card and still no go. What else can I try, flashing the modem?

Cyanogenmod: 13.0-20160413-NIGHTLY-hammerhead

Android Central Initial HTC 10 Photo & Video Samples from this article

Android Authority First Impression album from this article

Engadget 25 sample photos

I would take these reviews with a grain of salt. For example, the ars technica impression of the photos is a bit misleading IMO. The best photo of a dark scene isn't necessarily the brightest and most colorful (the most faithful capture, not adding light or color that wasn't there, yet retaining details in the shadow, is the best for me -- in addition to noise control).

I asked HTC about the camera issues mentioned on the tech insider review such as this glare and this sharpness issues. The exposure control issues can be addressed with software later, but the glare issue may indicate that the physical lens is more glare prone (compared to the S7 in that photo). This Android Central's photo of an easy outdoor scene shows a lack of sharpness and micro contrast, which may be a combined result of the glare-prone lens and the sharpness issue identified by the tech insider review. That glare issue, however, is NOT a problem on this photo from SlashGear.

Anyway, those are a very small sampling of photos. Post your HTC 10 pics here when you have them so we can all see them!

we were begging HTC to reduce sharpness and processing for years so now when they finally did it we bash them?

if i am not mistake sharpness and contrast can be controlled in settings > cam options

i would take the image on top any day, it's more natural and real

but it clearly needs a slight +0.5 sharpness +0.5 contrast

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lost_:
I don't see anyone on this thread bashing them (the "we" in your question). Reviewers can say what they want, many warranted, many are off-target. But it's a discussion forum, so it's fine to have a discussion about image qualities without being accused of complaining or whining or bashing. The NYC wall lacks sharpness - it is what it is. It could be that reviewer got a bad unit, or it could be other things.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lost_:
Thanks. Those pics help put the scores in perspective. For example, the cons include "Visible loss of sharpness in the corners compared to the center" BUT they compared the center sharpness of an object that is far out vs the corner sharpness of an object that is near the photographer - NOT on the same plane and, based on the scene distance, most likely not even within the circle of confusion. Why they did that really baffles me!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 3005899:
I feel it's warranted to do that, the hyperfocal distance on phone cameras is usually tiny, everything past couple of meters ends up being in infinity zone anyway.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hamdir:
Things to keep in mind auto HDR is on by default which could cause all sorts of issues if you are unaware it's happening (like blurs)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lost_:
I know what you mean, except that corner tree that they chose looks much closer to the photographer. Again, if they 're going to do that kind of analysis, then they'd better choose a more suitable scene or do it in a controlled manner. I just don't think that scene is valid choice for a lens center to corner sharpness comparison. Anyway, DxOMark is just one source of sample images and I can now interpret their scoring better for my purpose.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 3005899:
I concur, honestly now that most phones can do RAW, they shouldbe comparing that instead of the proccesed jpg, they don't compare the jpg's for their camera tests
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamiee6610:
I wouldnt take it too seriously about the glare, 2 things when doing stuff like this you have to do a like for like in comparison. Getting too close so the fruit was at a different focal range yes it will have different lighting and not focus the same and the sun behind the tree in one shot and passed in the other? Like WTF? Or course the lighting would show a glare funny thing is go on the S7/edge and its been mentioned numerous times they are suffering too with the same damn problem!

The comparison wasnt credible in my opinion?

HTC dropped the ball with the camera setup they should have put this lense on a duo lense setup like the M8 it would be a beast! I loved my M8 contributed quite a lot on the forums here with photos from it but my biggest gripe was why 4MP? It was commonly accepted that what the M8 needed to be on top was a larger lense to actually harvest more details in the light being captured.

Frustrating as hell! I just wish they had brought back that Duo lense we would see something that would have sunk the competition hard and fast in performance.

I am using the 10 camera app on my A9 thanks to Leedroid, in Auto you can disable HDR, control exposure but not sharpness unless there is a hidden menu
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] domineus:
I don't think there's a sharpness menu option. The A9 began the trend of removing the sharpness with the results being images being a bit too flat (nothing wrong with that especially compared to the oversharp gs7/gs6)

However, I think HTC struck a decent balance with the 10. The issues of camera is something I've even seen on my rx1rii so it's not something that can be easily solved

Yeah, this could explain the eye brow raising shots i found on the verge. Now if there was a simple way to identify when hdr is on or not in the exifs, it will become easier. Will spare from the 'not impressed' posts.

Not how a camera, according to dxo, that is as sharp as the nexus and has as good artifacts handling as the 808 should behave.

In the meantime i went digging for better samples and engadget taiwan has done a much better job than engadget headoffice.

here is something more subtle. First is s7, second is the 10

s7e2 by bittie kwan, on Flickr

m10b by bittie kwan, on Flickr

htc10vs7e by bittie kwan, on Flickr

It surprises me how high the ISO's have to be on the 10 for the bottle top. The F stop difference is 1/6.Shutter speed difference is negligible. But ISO wise its almost 2.5stops (!)

Clearly these companies are doing iso curves quite differently.The 10 isn't using any image averaging like HDR+.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] duowing:
I would really like to see some people pull some comparison photos from the S7 in auto, then take to raw/pro mode with the HTC 10 and set it up to match the auto settings that the S7 is doing and see if the pictures then are comparable. It would be the best way to see sensor vs. processing, I would think? Also I know very little about imaging, so I also could be completely wrong. Also I would like to just see shots set up in conditions to the same ISO, shutter speed, etc and see then what kind of differences we're looking at.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lost_:
Thanks for the links - they've been added to the first post.

The curtain scene is another telltale about the metering algorithm and exposure. All else equal, the S7 was ISO 200 and the 10 was ISO 500, 1.3 more stop, which ends up lighting up the dark side of the curtain but also clipping the highlights sooner without revealing additional details in the shadow. The same goes with the horse statue scene (ISO 200 vs ISO 320). It seems in dark scenes with strong highlights, the 10 exposure shifts toward higher ISO to light up the shadows, while the S7 is happy in keeping the shadows dark; some of us grow up doing minus exposure compensation in that kind of scene to keep the shadow black instead of gray, and that seems to be what S7 is doing while the 10 wants to make it gray.

The outdoor samples from the 10 are pretty good IMO. They're not overexposed and soft like the NYC samples.
