Hi. I'm a newbie. Sorry for my stupid question.

I wanna ask, how to change the icon grid on home screen from 4x5 to 5x6. Because before i got the B512 update, it was 5x6 icon grid by default. Now its only 4x5.

Please help. Many thanks

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] rodnii:
Can you guys check your batteries with an app like AIDA64? I thought the Note7 is supposed to use Li-Po, but AIDA64 says mine is Li-Ion.

I'm wanting to see if Samsung is using both to meet supply and demand, or if it's actually Li-Po but software reports it as Li-Ion.

What do you guys think?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ZiprLips:
What does it matter? They are almost identical, and if the ratings are identical the you would never know the difference.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] rodnii:
True. It's just my own curiosity. This can be closed if no one else is interested.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Aeltar:
It's high voltage (3.85v rather than the standard 3.7v or the less common but not unheard of 3.6v) li-ion.

That isn't terrible, but a li-po battery will usually offer greater runtime for the same mAh, since the voltage stays higher until it suddenly drops. Li-ion, however, allows battery percentage calculations to be more accurate, because there's more voltage differential over the course of a discharge cycle. Li-po also offers the advantage of improved durability; in other words, more charge cycles before it loses capacity. You can also charge most li-po cells or batteries faster than most li-ion cells or batteries safely.

Does anyone know what voltage the components run at? If it's being bucked from the nominal 3.85v, that won't result in much efficiency loss compared to li-po, but if it's being boosted, the lower voltage at most points in the discharge cycle will result in greater efficiency loss at lower battery charge. I can only assume that most components are quite low-voltage, but I have no idea really.

I suspect they used li-ion because li-po swells more when being charged or discharged heavily, which would possibly result in a cracked case or broken ribbon cables more often.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ZiprLips:
I don't want to offend you, but literally none of your information is true.

First of all, a batteries chemical composition has absolutely no bearing on it's mah rating. Mah is a measurement of amperage over time (Milli amp hour). 3500mah = 3500mah regardless of the cells chemical composition.

Second, both lithium ion and lithium polymer cells operat at a range of voltages. Acctually, they operate at almost the exact same voltages. This 3.7v number you are referring to is the "nominal" voltage for both types Li-po and li-on. 3.7v is about that your cell phone battery reads at around 50% charge. At 100% charge both Lipo and li-on are reading 4.2v. When your phone hits 0% charge, the voltage is approximately 3.3v or 3.2v, depending on what android has set for the cutoff. If you drain either cell type below 3.0v the cells may recharge in opposite polarity, which is why no Lipo or li-on charger will attempt to recharge a cell below that 3.0v threshold.

As far as charging is concerned, each cell has what is called a 'c' rating. It actually has 2 c ratings if you want to thorough. C is just a generic term for capacity. These c ratings reefer to the rate at which a cell can be safely charged and discharged. If a 3500 mah cell has a 1 c discharge rating, it can safely be discharged at 3500 mah, or 3.5ah. If a 3500mah cell has a 10c rating, it can be discharged at 35,000mah, or 35 ah.

The same math applies to the charge rate c rating. If a 3500mah cell can be charged at 1c, it can be charged at 3500mah, or 3.5ah. Obviously, this means that a 3500 mah cell, with a 1c charge rate can be fully recharged in 1 hour. The c rating of a Lipo or li-on cell is directly related to the quality of the materials used to construct it, which is to say that the c rating is directly related to the cost lol.

Now as to your question about the operating voltages, I can only speculate. What I can say is that in my limited experience in the field of overclocking desktop cpu's, the voltages for the cpu and ram were always quite low. Around 4v for the cpu iirc , and less than 1.25v for the ram. And like I said, that was in a desktop. All the components in phones and tablets have 'LP' in their part numbers signifying low power, or low voltage. This is for 2 reasons. 1, cause if these components ran on the same voltage as desktop equipment, there would need to be cooling fans involved, and 2 cause they need to be powered by a battery.

All that to speculate that all cell phones use voltage regulators to step the voltage down a LOT.

Oh, and your comments on voltages for lithium ion batteries leads me to think you may have them confused with lithium ferrite (Li-Fe) batteries.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ZiprLips:
While I continue to disagree with most of your statements, I need to go to sleep, got to work tomorrow unfortunately.

I will only say that I concur with your definition of amp hours, I merely used a different cell capacity in my example. I should ha e some time at work tomorrow to continue the discussion.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] THS1989:
There are different marketing names.

This kind of LiPo is often called a Li-HV in the hobby world.

HV for high voltage.

Instead of usual 3.7v nominal and 4.2v full, these chemistries run at 3.85v nominal and 4.35-4.4v full

Overall it should be a fairly quality cell, even if it IS made in China.... Personally I wish they sourced em from Panasonic / Sony / Sanyo etc or built em in Korea or Japan but it probably doesn't matter.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] rodnii:
Wow, a very insightful read. Makes me want to go back and study for another degree haha..

Anyway, here is a picture of the battery from the Note7 iFixit teardown. It definitely says Li-Ion and lists nominal voltage @ 3.85V and charge voltage at 4.4V.

https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/pHmgEwFNoQTnKyOY.huge

Honestly, I'm just curious, or even annoyed, because of discrepancies between what I see and what is being advertised/reported regarding tech specs. And being human, I want to get the best of what is offered, even if it's marginal. I know I shouldn't think too much about it and move on, but after seeing that photo, I can't help but wonder if there really are models out there with Li-Po or not.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] NCguy:
I used to fly rc aircraft where these two technologies are a huge part of the sport. At least in that usage, Lipo had a much higher energy density and where far more volatile. Lipo can be very dangerous, can ignite at 2000 degrees F, and great care must be exercised in charging and handling. Li -ION were lower energy density but far safer. I assume much of this applies to usage in phones.

If Lipo was actually used in the phone I expect it was to get higher capacity in a smaller package. Makes me a bit nervous if this is actually the technology used.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Aeltar:
For RC usage (extremely high discharge) li-po is strictly superior, because it offers higher drain in a smaller package.

Our phones hardly use any power at all. Can you imagine any sort of RC device with a 1S 3.5Ah cell lasting all day?

Li-ion offers higher energy density for lower discharge applications, up to about 5-8C or so. Above that, li-po shines in terms of size compared to capacity and discharge rate.

As said previously I don't think the use of li-ion is really a letdown. It has drawbacks and benefits. I'd personally prefer li-po, but li-ion makes sense for this application as well.

I suspect the largest benefit the consumer would see from li-po in these uses, if similarly specced, would be greater overall durability (more charge cycles). Let's just hope they went with a high quality li-ion so it'll still be adequate a couple years down the road.

The fact that li-po swells slightly during normal usage is important, too. The teardowns I've seen show very packed internals; a slight amount of swelling, say, when fast charging a year down the road, could equal disaster for other components or the physical casing, or even perhaps the waterproofing.

Trueeeeee

bro all your researches is right and i have been working trying to find out the truth and actually you were scammed for years in every smartphone and iphone li ion batteries is a miss it cannot handle alot of voltage and almost gets 300 or 500 battery cycles and dies when it became 50 or 30 % i used two old smartphones in my house that is xiaomi note 4 li po and samsung s3 li ion those were my grandfather's and i asked him to help me in this research he used to work as a chemist in science university btw .. we left the both phones to charge with 5w charger for 3 nights and the li po phone didnot get hot and the other li ion phone was pregnant lol the back of it actually the battery were blown up i took it with a glove and got rid of it .. so that actually made me satisfied li po battery is safer to use and keeps its temp while li ion is much cheaper (i am not sure of the price) and we should maintain its temp between 25 - 55 c cause it gets damage by temp and have really bad life time i am not a scientist or hardware or software designer or any kind of these things i just noticed that .. and btw i tried this method with alot of smartphones that has li ion and li po batteries but i changed the chargers and tried higher voltage but not higher that what it does support like my note 8 only 15w charger and that surprised me li ion phones didnot survive they catch heat pretty fast they didnot blow up or anything but the battery life of them were decreased like **** but li po didnot get affected by any mean so i just have to change them that happened to my iphone 7 and samsung note 8 as well so dont try this test you well have to replace them in the store but fck money when i got to understand that companies like samsung and others were fooling us i know they have the best software and antennas and alot more good futures but what will i do with a phone that cannot charge quick like we see in others brands 40w chargers and 30w and having a bad battery life as well

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerryh420:
I have searched XDA thread's, I have combed through android central. Ever root method I follow including heisenbergs leads to boot loop. Let me just state I am not new to rooting and this is frustrating beyond words. I want to throw this damn thing against a wall but I know it's not the phones fault.

[Before anyone says it, I have searched XDA, Androicentral, several other forum boards high and low , believe me, it only ads to my frustration] So, regarding th title of the post: Should be as simple as flashing supersu in recovery right? Just after flashing the modified boot image? Can't get it to take. I've tried every step variant I can think of like flashing the vendor file which is new to me. Flashing a rom and allowing that supersu included do the rooting, in all different step orders too, so on and so forth - but all of these iterations I have tried leads to bootloop. I get stuck with no choice but to manually flash each partition back to stock just so that I have a phone to use.

After restoring my phone back to stock i am here: I have the most recent TWRP installed for a recovery (thus obviously my bootloader is unlocked too), I have not flashed the modified boot image yet but am aware I will need to before flashing supersu (and wiping cache) in recovery - last time I did it this way it did not work for me...

Can anyone point me to a simple tutorial of how to obtain root or maybe point out what I've done wrong above, please? I am at my wits end over something supposedly so simple. (Go ahead, laugh, call me names, whatever - I deserve it)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
What boot image are you flashing? It's probably not compatible with the security patch you are on. Really you don't need to flash a new boot image as the SuperSU zip now patches it. So just flash SuperSU and enjoy root.

For details on what the vendor partition is and which one to flash, look in the FAQ of the Pure Nexus ROM. I'm to lazy to to explain it myself or even link to it. Sorry, it's late here and locating it's kind of a pain on the mobile.

And for future reference it's an utter waste of time to root then flash a ROM. I'll explain tomorrow if you don't understand why.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
The drivers and firmware got extracted into a separate vendor partition. Google doesn't provide source for vendor.img, just binaries. You need to flash a vendor.img that matches the ROM. If they don't match it might still work with some complaints, but it is best to have them matched. Look at your ROM to see which vendor.img they require.
