[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
I'm guessing your eyes are less reliable than their scientific tests. So the former, most likely. It's an independent study, not marketing from Samsung.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hello00:
i have both the s7 and the note 7 and there is no way to tell the difference in real world usage..you think they are gonna put the phones side by side and use their eyes to check which display is better? no human eye can spot the difference..im sure they use graphs, charts etc
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
That's interesting. The HDR thing alone would make a difference, I would think. And the brightness they made seem like a huge difference. Crazy.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] boufa:
Its actually an interesting read... I recommend it..at least skim it. A few take aways from it.

There are dual ambient sensors, front and back, to better approximate the needed screen brightness, and the formula that those 2 sensors goes with creates a more gentle pleasing transition. (personally I don't use auto, because if you move the phone over a little the screen changes brightness, even if the overall room hasn't change brightness, you are just casting a small shadow.

There is a learning auto setting for brightness, that's kinda cool. walk into a dark room and turn you brightness up instead of down... (ok, why?) it will learn over time and adjust up rather than down. It will make other auto adjustments as it learns how you like your screen. Awesome.

Brightness over 1000 nits... whatever, spec wise, but the comment that coupled with the lowest reflectivity, and the highest contrast levels, this is the best sunlight viewing screen ever made.... awesome.

As for the screen quality... if every device's screen is slightly better than the previous version, then over time you get huge increases in screen quality, and efficiency. This is definitely not the same screen as the s7, or the Note 5. Specs on the surface may line up, but they did more engineering on it than just plop an old screen into a new device.

HDR only plays a role when watching HDR video
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gtg465x:
Same. I compared them side by side in Best Buy and the screens looked freaking identical in terms of brightness, white balance, color, everything. Maybe there are improvements, but if there are, they are too small to be noticeable without special testing equipment. With every new Samsung phone, DisplayMate says the screen is way better than the previous version, but honestly, Samsung's screens have hardly improved at all since the Note 4. I'm sure if you held a Note 4 and Note 7 side by side you could see some very minor differences, but if you disguised the phones and just looked at each screen seperately I don't think you could tell which is which.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gtg465x:
I wouldn't say it's an independent study. That would imply that Samsung and DisplayMate are not working together. DisplayMate makes money by helping companies calibrate their displays. Many people have suspected that DisplayMate actually has a role in the calibration of Samsung's displays. So if Samsung is one of DisplayMate's clients and Samsung is paying them, AND DisplayMate is actually testing the calibration that they themselves were responsible for, then they aren't exactly going to be unbiased and give themselves and their client a bad review.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gtg465x:
Guys, if you actually look at the numbers DisplayMate posted and compare them to the Note 5 and S7, it becomes obvious that the Note 7 does NOT have a better screen. It is most likely the same screen with a slightly tweaked firmware that allows it to ramp up brightness a little bit more when only 1% of the screen is turned on. It's pure marketing trickery. Just look at these numbers I pulled from DisplayMate and then tell me how much better the Note 7 screen actually is (hint: it's not better):

Average Screen Reflectance

Note 5: 4.7%

Galaxy S7: 4.6%

Note 7: 4.6%

All three are basically the same and within the margin of error.

Measured Full Brightness - 100% Full Screen White

Note 5: 412 nits

Galaxy S7: 414 nits

Note 7: 418 nits

All three are basically the same and within the margin of error.

Measured Full Brightness - 50% Full Screen White

Note 5: 456 nits

Galaxy S7: 458 nits

Note 7: 495 nits

The Note 7 is ever so slightly brighter, but it probably isn’t noticeable.

Measured Auto Brightness - 100% Full Screen White, High Ambient Light

Note 5: 556 nits

Galaxy S7: 549 nits

Note 7: 569 nits

All three are basically the same and within the margin of error.

*Note: The 1048 nit brightness that is being quoted by various news outlets is with only 1% of the screen lit up. I didn’t show the 1% full white screen benchmarks because they are useless. How often is only 1% of your screen lit up? If you absolutely must do the comparison, the Note 5 and S7 reach 861 and 855 nits in the same useless scenario.

Color temperature in Basic / sRGB mode (closest to 6500K is best)

Note 5: 6588K

Galaxy S7: 6480K

Note 7: 6400K

All three are basically the same and within the margin of error, but the Note 7 is actually the worst here.

Wide Color gamut - Adaptive Display mode (larger % means it can display more colors)

Note 5: 134% sRGB

Galaxy S7: 131% sRGB

Note 7: 132% sRGB

All three are basically the same and within the margin of error, but the Note 5 is actually the best here.

Color Accuracy in Basic / sRGB mode (lower JNDC is more accurate)

Note 5: 1.4 JNDC

Galaxy S7: 1.5 JNDC

Note 7: 2.9 JNDC

The Note 5 and S7 are basically the same and within the margin of error, but the Note 7 is actually quite a bit LESS accurate, although you would be hard pressed to notice with the naked eye.

Relative Power Efficiency (50% Average Picture Level at 456 nits)

Note 5: 0.95 watts

S7: 0.80 watts

Note 7: 0.97 watts

The Note 5 and Note 7 are basically the same and within the margin of error, but the Note 7 nevertheless uses slightly MORE power and is a little less efficient. The S7 screen uses less power just because it’s smaller, not because it’s more efficient.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedicemaster:
the note 5 was never released here so I can't compare, but comparing my note 4 with a display model note 7 (SM-N930X) at max "normal" brightness(so no Sun mode) the difference is quite noticeable.

Not that again [emoji57]
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saywhat4118:
Yes the stats show the displays between note 5 and note 7 (S7 family) are the same but there is a big difference that stats will not show. The entire S6 family and the note 5 included had a problem with uneven gray-scale. It would be pink ish on the sides or top. Some would be very bad ( I had to exchange 3 S6 and 2 note 5, using a simple pixel testing App shows the imperfections) some displays on the 2015 series were okay and some was good like my current note 5 that I use for work. That's the thing, 2015 super AMOLED panel was inconsistent. I have some and used many of the S7 of all kind and the Note 7 and not one has those issues. All perfect whites and grays no pink on the side. I'll take consistent perfect balanced screen over those slight stat difference any day.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raijin:
So the discoloration issues ended with the S7? I exchanged three Nexus 6P (Note 5 screen) and the one which I ended with have the left part of the screen with pink tint, because the temperature is 200-300 Kelvin more than in the center and right side (I don't remember the exact number that my colorimeter said). The funny fact is that that Nexus 6P was the best of all.

All S7 you tried had perfect uniformity in white and gray-scale?

Do you notice in the Note 7 that persistent green tint that characterized the AMOLED displays all time?

Thank you!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] saywhat4118:
Thank you for reminding me. I went through SEVERAL Nexus 6P because of the terrible uniformity. The Nexus 6P had lower quality panels than even the Note 5 (same generation but lower binned version). I have really bad ocd so once I saw the issue I couldn't look else where. To me the display is the most important thing and that made me return my Nexus 6P. Also I love on screen buttons but if you place cheap AMOLED panels then the navigation buttons become burned in pretty easily. It did in my N6P and I only had it for couple weeks and then returned it. None of the S7 have or Note 7 that I have messed with has had a single issue (I am a manager at one of the 4 big carriers). The green tint on note 7 edges is not there.

Tip for all AMOLED users. We don't have to worry about navigation bar burn in for obvious reasons but we do have to be careful about the status bar. I highly recommend you change some of your favourite apps to go full screen and hide the status bar once in a while. It refreshes those pixels and makes them display something other than standard wifi, signal and time. For example I have status bar turned off in the internet app that I use (default Samsung browser - no ads is awesome) and my Nova home screen hides the status bar. I never have to worry about any burn ins ever. Just being cautious. You might be thinking, this guy is crazy. I'm not. I work at a cell phone store and I can tell you everyone one of our AMOLED phones have burn ins and have seen many customers with some. I love AMOLED but know you have to take proper steps to take care of it. Anyway, Note 7 = Best display... End of Story.

Hi, I need help in upgrading my android version or installing a custom mod in my HCL Me Tablet. I have looked everywhere but couldn't not find supported upgrade for my tablet. I think installing custom mod also upgrades your android so please reply if you have any information.

Tablet information:

Name: HCL Me Tablet

Version: Connect-V3/Connect V3

Manufactor: HCL

Android Version: 4.1.2

Supports auto-update? Yes, but never updates

Note: There is also a manual update option where the update files should be named as "update.zip" and placed in Internal Memory (SDCard0). I guess this is for updating android version.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cinosa:
So I decided I would switch back to a custom rom on my phone. I reverted to stock several months ago to get the official Telus 6.0.1 update. Now that I have that, I'm trying to get TWRP installed so I can throw a ROM on, but when I get TWRP loaded, none of the other file systems are mountable and I don't see anything in the /sdcard directory or anywhere else. There are errors when trying to mount them as well.

I did flash the 6.0.1 bootloader and modem the rom dev suggested before doing the TWRP recovery, but I'm still stuck with not being able to access anything while in the recovery, and I get thrown in to a bootloop if I try to boot the OS. I can flash the Telus 6.0.1 rom back to my phone and resolve this, but I'm wondering why TWRP is "corrupting" my phone like it is. Here are the errors i'm seeing in recovery:

Could not mount /data and unable to find cryptofooter

Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)

Unable to recreate /data/media folder

Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)

.......done

Unable to mount storage

Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)

Full SELinux support is present

Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps

Anyone know what's going on here? I tried this same process a few weeks ago, but just resigned myself to staying on the stock Telus rom because this same issue came up.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hga89:
Does a hardware diagnostic tool for the Tab S2, specifically the T810, exist? A command-line tool, perhaps?

I'd like to find out if I can diagnose the problem where the WiFi suddenly stopped working and cannot be turned on again. Force-stopping the WiFi applications, wiping the cache and starting the tablet in safe mode, none of the above worked.

Trying to turn the WiFi on only results in being stuck at "Turning WiFi on...". Bluetooth seems to work, as does the rest of the tablet.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You don't need a diagnostic tool. Android has its own diagnostic logs.

Download the app syslog and it will pull every log the device has.

Logcat probably being the one you need to examine.

purchased a insurance replacement from flebay it came with a samsung quick charge plug ,is this the same as a htc quick charge or shall i buy a htc type ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] NickWord:
The Samsung Quick Charger I believe only supports QuickCharge 2.0 while the HTC 10 is QuickCharge 3.0, so it will get the job done just not as fast as a 3.0 Charger. It pulls 5v while the HTC charger can pull 5v, 9v, or 12v.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ErickF:
It should be ok but the only difference is the 2.0 will charge a little bit warmer. Should be relatively the same speed as 3.0 but just get a bit hotter. So there shouldn't be any issues
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Charwinger21:
Quick Charge 2.0 and 3.0 both charge at the same maximum speeds.

The difference between the two of them is that Quick Charge 3.0 allows for smaller drops in voltage as the battery get more full, allowing the charger to remain closer to its maximum charging speed for longer.

Instead of dropping right from 12V to 9V as the battery fills up, it drops from 12V to 11.8V to 11.6V etc.

Hi,

I had updated my oneplus two with cyanogenmod 13 successfully. I had been running this for more than 5 months.

Yesterday i had downloaded an update of CM13 and was trying to install the update, the phone just went blank with a black screen so i restarted the phone. Since then the phone is not loading into the OS, when i try restarting the phone the oneplus logo screen just flashes and then the phone just displays black screen or switches off.

I am not able to enter into recovery mode which is the biggest problem i am facing due to which i am not able to even perform other recovery options.

I connect the phone to computer using usb and when i use any command such as adb devices, i dont see any device in the list. i get error: no devices when i use other adb commands.

After I unlocked the bootloader, I tried to port TWRP from Oukitel k6000 plus since both have same chipset MT6750T and same resolution. I tried to follow this guide on youtube video using Carliv Image Kitchen. But I failed. Heck, I tried to flash the k6000 plus recovery and nothing. Not even boot loops :p, the stock recovery still shows up.

Edit: I was partially successful. I was able to get to TWRP but touch screen not working. I connected a mouse and was able to change the Russian language of the original k6000+ TWRP port. But what is not working is the mounts of partitions. I tried to copy the mount points from fstab.mt6755 which is in stock recovery to the new port. But the new port doesn't have such file, instead it has goldfish fstab files, I tried editing them manually to match them, but it didn't work.

This is just a stab in the dark. If anyone know how to fix partition mounts and why touch screen not working, I would be grateful.

I replaced recovery.fstab from stock to the ported one also replaced default.prop.

fstab.mt6755 <- That comes with stock recovery

fstab.ranchu <- That comes with Oukitel k6000+ TWRP recovery

Also fstab.goldfish <- That comes with Oukitel k6000+ TWRP recovery

I have a cf-autoroot rooted stock rom using 6.0.1 n910c. And twrp installed.

My first question is if i want to install stock rom would that be safe or would i need to clear data(full wipe) first?

I think it can be flashed through odin and it will unroot my phone? Would twrp be a problem or when i flash stock rom my recovery will be stock recovery?

And my last question is would flashing a stock rom bring back my deleted bloatware.
