[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] bftiedt:
So I flashed to the g935u firmware and love it but one thing that is bugging me is the read receipts In the stock sms app aren't working . I'm sure it has to do with the change in firmware . My question is , does anyone know if there is a way to get it working again? Maybe by flashing tmobile modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Binary100100:
Pretty sure that would be the CSC. Not sure about the modem but I doubt it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] bftiedt:
I'll give it a shot. I figured it was something like that just didn't know which one. I have my phone set up exactly how I want it now so before messing up and having to start all over I figured I'd ask.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] txaggies07:
Test it yet? This is holding me back from flashing U.
[Moto Z Force Accessories] LeeMullinsII:
Has anyone used one with the phone, Im interested in getting one curious as to opinions of different ones in regards to the Z Force.
[Moto Z Force Accessories] killboredom:
I just picked up a bobovr. Seems cool, but I don't really know since I can't seem to find the magnet for Google cardboard. I've flipped the phone, removed mods... Doesn't make a difference. I'm fairly bummed.
[Moto Z Force Accessories] cray4phones:
I used it on the Google daydream, it's pretty amazing. Just make sure it's centered
[Moto Z Force Accessories] Metfanant:
I have the Daydream headset..It's cool, bit the phone gets HOT
[Moto Z Force Accessories] RedRamage:
+1 on both of the two previous posts! Google Daydream works well, but the phone certain does get hot!!

A few other points:

Make sure to take off mods to reduce weight. I usually keep the Battery mod on my phone 24/7, but take it off for VR. Granted, the loss of more battery stinks with doing VR, but the weight savings makes it much more comfortable to wear.

If you've purchased any movies/shows in the google play store, you can open them in Youtube under the "purchases" link on the left on a computer. Once you've opened them, they show up as recently viewed items in Youtube. This means you can use YouTubeVR to view them. What's nice about this is with YoutubeVR, you can re-position the screen to pretty much any angle, so you can lay down on the floor or bed and watch a movie/show.

[General Questions and Answers] DWFII:
So...my old S2 had an app on it that would record missed calls to an audio file. There was a pro-version (sans ads) but the free version was adequate.

Now that I have an S5 and an S6, I don't see anything similar. Not among the default apps, not on Playstore. There is voice mail but you have to dial a separate number, listen to the voicemails and then decide to keep or delete.

The old S2 app stored the recording on the phone...or at least it was directly accessible from the phone.

When I search Google play, all I see are voice to text (visual voicemail) and voice recorders. I don't really see any that automatically redirect a missed call to a recording on the phone. And I'm not sure how faithful and precise voice to text is, esp. if the caller isn't very clear or is long-winded.

Any thoughts, suggestions or help? Plz.
[General Questions and Answers] AlanRiad:
I'm using YouMail, pretty nice app. Have you tried it yet?

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.youmail.android.vvm&hl=en

apk: http://choilieng.com/apk-on-pc/com.youmail.android.vvm.apk

I installed this app on my Android phone and iphone.

Or, Google voice is another good choice but only available in US. Your data will be stored with Google account, this acts as you phone number.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice&hl=en

apk if you need: http://choilieng.com/apk-on-pc/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.apk

hope it will help
[General Questions and Answers] DWFII:
Thank you for your reply.

I tried Google Voice. But after further research, I suspect I will never get what I am looking for despite apps being out there that might be able to do the job...if only I weren't on a third party carrier. I use TotalWireless and they use Verizon towers. But Verizon apps won't work on my phone.

Despite that, the voicemail I do have goes through Verizon and the procedures for activating it and accessing it are identical to the procedures used to activate and access voice mail directly through Verizon.

I got through the set up of Google Voice but when I went to get voicemail, I got a message that connection couldn't be established or something similar.

Called Verizon and TotalWireless--the upshot is that it won't work.

YouMail also states that it won't work with third party carriers.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
So looks like my pixel XLs screen has uneven white tones. There is a slight pink tinge on the left side that you can see when the Night Light mode is on. Or any dark grey backgrounds. And white is warmer on the right than the left. Do you guys think this will go away or should I just exchange it? That's the only thing I find defective. Besides that, an awesome phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] zolah:
Unfortunately colour shift is a well know amoled screen issue. Some phones have it more than others, its just a lottery on the type of display you get.

You could see if they will let you exchange for one and hopefully get a better screen.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
I have couple of S7 Edge and had a one plus 3, those didn't have any issues. My Nexus 6P had it the worse and got it exchanged couple of times till I got the right one. I might have to do this for the pixel. Sigh... Hate that about AMOLED
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dermotti:
I went through 6 samsung s6's because of this. my note 5 and 7 were perfect.

At the price we paid i would exchange it until its near perfect.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
If it bothers you, exchange it. Samsung has gotten better this year - both my Note7's had ZERO color shift on white which was a first for me. So far my Pixel XL looks pretty great, but I haven't tried looking too hard to see if it is a problem.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] OnlinePredator:
Samsung phones don't if you have the profile set to dynamic or whatever it is, it's the mode that over saturates everything. If you put it to natural then it's the same as the pixel.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
OP's thread title refers to white balance which would mean color calibration/profiles, but the content of his post is actually a problem with screen uniformity. Changing the color calibration is not going to do anything if his panel is not uniform in displayed color.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] NightHawkUndead:
Bottom half of my screen is super pink. Top half and bottom half of screen are very different colors on white and gray screens. Used the support option in the settings menu. Will have a replacement coming in tomorrow.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
I went through 3 6Ps until I got an even screen, they all had tints to varying degree but the last one I got was fine.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
I'm going to get mine exchanged.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
Mine has is but honestly I have noticed it to a certain extent on every device I've had that had an amoled display (I have never owned a note or GS7 so I can't comment on them) but yeah, I noticed it right away. Mine is on the top half of the screen. I'm not sure if I'm going to end up exchanging it or not because I'm sure the next one will have it to an extent too and having them hold close to a G for every exchange really would suck. lol

I think some people notice more than other people. I know I notice it on other devices when the owner never does. I had a 6p that was really bad exchanged it and got one much better. I remember one dude exchanging his like 8 times and he said every single one had it.

Note: The title of this thread sound be changed to "pinkish hue" or "pink tint" or something like that
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
Yeah I definitely notice them. I went through couple of Nexus 6P before I got good one. The galaxy S7 screens are basically perfect. Probably higher quality panels.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
Let us know how the replacement is. I'm debating exchanging mine but need to pay off my CC a little first before I have enough to cover a hold for a replacement.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] NightHawkUndead:
Replacement arrived today. So far seems perfect. Brand new and screen is much better. No pink tones and white balance is perfect. Very glad I did a replacement now.

Setting up was so easy. Just plugged 2 phones together and it copied everything over to the new one.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
Sweet. My replacement comes in tomorrow. That gives me good hope for a better replacement.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
Sweet! Thanks for the update!

Mine as well! I ordered it today and just got shipping notification. I'll post an update when I get mine. Hope I'm as lucky as NightHawk with my replacement :laugh:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Interesting. I called support today because my screen fades from white on the bottom to a creamy white at the top. This is with brightness at halfway. If it's at 100% I don't notice it, however it's way too bright to look at. Anyway, Google told me it was within standards and not replaceable.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
I would call back immediately. That is not within standard and should be replaced. I would be furious if I got that response.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
They said if it's not noticeable within the top 1/3 of the brightness slider then its within spec. Honestly, it's probably something nobody else would notice, it's that slight. I wish there was some type of way to measure the white scale to prove I'm not crazy.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
They told me the same thing. I saw it more at 1/3 brightness. I notice it less at full brightness but I still notice it
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Even though I got it through Google, I'm going to stop by a Verizon store tomorrow to compare with their display.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
Mine is noticeable in all brightness levels.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
This guy didn't notice it on the display units at his Verizon: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69310112&postcount=12

Also Erica Griffen noticed it on her pixel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rny-3j7SIDs&feature=youtu.be&t=8m58s (video is cued at the point where she mentions it)

Also I've asked a lot of my friend's on G+ and none of my friend's have noticed it at all on theirs.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Wow, that's extreme! Mine isn't pink, it's more of a very whitish cream. Like I said, it's very hard to notice unless you are staring at the screen all day, and then that's all you notice. However, anyone that I might hand my phone to to check out would be hard pressed to notice. That being said, most people I would hand my phone to aren't on xda lol.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
Yeah, her's looks bad. Mine is not as bad but on the top half of the screen. I really think I eyes are more sensitive to it because I have noticed on other techie's phones when they don't but once I point it out to them they can't unsee it lol. I do read a lot on pages with white backgrounds and it is a bit distracting. Also my pixel isn't as bad as other devices I've had with AMOLED but for almost $1000 I expect it to be perfect. I would probably accept this amount on a cheaper device lol
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dermotti:
I got the same crap responses from samsung. The reality is, its within whatever customer care reps standards are. Keep calling back and get a different rep.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] venturizhou:
I had a good experience with my rep, simply explained I tried SRGB mode, max brightness and still had my screen go from pinkish to green/yellow. They said they actually experienced a similar issue with a Samsung they owned and they understood the issue. Got my email and issue resolved in 15 minutes.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
Your replacement come? I tracked mine and they said it was delivered. I'll be getting it when I get home!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
you have got to be shi**ing me... I come home... No package. I ask the 3 neighbors in my building.. no package. Tracking says left at front door. Why the fu** would you leave a $900+ phone outside on the stoop in NYC? I called FedEx and they are looking into it. They said Google doesn't require signature for delivery which I know but still think it's stupid. They say they do it for the convenience of their customers but yet who in their right mind would send something so expensive and not require a signature? I have to say I feel pretty inconvenienced now.. Now I have to wait to hear back from FedEx, wait to hear back from Google.. FML..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
That sucks man. Mine says left at the door too. I won't be home for 30 more minutes. I hope I don't have to go through the same thing.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
So I just got mine and so far it looks a lot better than my first. I'll be doing more tests and let y'all know what I find.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
Good to hear! At least yours was there! Hopefully tomorrow I get it resolved. Google said that sometimes the driver will mark it delivered and it be a mistake, or the driver may have left it at another house by mistake. The thing that gets me upset too is that today it was POURING rain so if it had been at my front door it would have been soaking wet. FedEx is calling me after 2pm tomorrow and Google calling me after 3pm. The guy at google tried to calm me down (I was a bit frantic) and said that if it is determined that it's lost they will send me another one.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
Guys, my replacement is absolutely perfect. I love it. I'm finally in love with this phone. If you think you have a defective display, get it switched because chances are you can get a better even display like I did. Good luck guys.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
So I finally got a chance to stop by a Verizon store today. Compared my screen to the two pixels on display. I guess I have to admit my eyes are going on me. They all looked the same. Maybe there isnt anything wrong with my screen after all.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
My first phones display was uneven but my second one is perfect.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
I ordered my replacement today for the replacement that got lost/stolen. I now have two authorizations and my card but they said the one for the lost/stolen one will be falling off my card in a few days
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
Got my replacement yesterday.. This one is worse than my original. I'm contacting Google today to send back the replacement. Then I have to wait for the hold to fall off (because there are currently two holds, one for the replacement that got lost/stolen in transit and the replacement I got yesterday).. So now I have to call them, tell them I'm sending back the replacement, wait for that hold to fall off then order another replacement.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saywhat4118:
I had the same experience with the N 6P.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
Yeah, I also had to get two 6P replacements. The third one I had gotten was perfect. Let's hope the next one I get is better. It's just a hassle when your replacement is worse because you have to contact them and then wait.. lol They basically have to cancel out the first RMA (since it's tied to the IMEI), then send you an RMA for the replacement, then I have to wait for them to get it and remove the hold, then I have to contact them again to order another one.. Not fun.. lol
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Skitals:
I got my replacement the other day (non-XL) and it is worse than my original. I went through chat, they made me email a photo, approved the RMA, but the CS rep choked and didn't know what to do since I already have one hold on my original device. So now I am in email purgatory waiting for this to escalate. I already got the RMA email, so Im going to go ahead and put this replacement back in the mail today and hope for the best. I went through 4 Nexus 6Ps (three replacements) before I gave up and got a 5X. I was able to do that within 15 days. I guess they are doing things differently now. By the time they get this phone back and ship a new one, I will be outside my return window. :crying:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] super6uno:
Last year with the 6p was a disaster and was afraid of how it would screen Pixel.

The screen of my first Pixel XL 128GB Very Silver from germany it's perfect! Totally uniform!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
That sucks, I sent back my replacement today. Once the hold falls off I'm contacting them to order another. I will keep doing it until I get one that doesn't have the issue. If it was a $400 phone I would accept a bit of it but not for a phone that cost me $950 with tax..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
FYI, taking a photo at an angle like that will forcibly induce screen uniformity issues due to the sub-pixel arrangement on this AMOLED pentile display. You cannot say whether or not the screen is uniform UNLESS viewing direct at a 0 degree angle. If you expect 100% perfect white at all viewing angles, you are not going to get it, ever, on any pentile AMOLED.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Skitals:
I'm well aware of that. The photo was taken for dramatic effect to satisfy the Google rep. However, I have a Galaxy S4 with an AMOLED screen which is 100% uniform and has close to zero color shift even at extreme angles. My first Pixel doesn't have anywhere near the amount of color shift. But both has a visible gradient when viewed at 0 degrees. The first Pixel is actually reversed, with the pink at the top instead of the bottom. That one when you tilt it away at the same angle it actually appears uniform. I believe the more "perfect" the uniformity is the less color shift you will experience. I have no idea how these are manufactured, but it's almost as if screens cut from the center of the wafer would be uniform and the closer you get the the edges the more $%#$% it becomes. Either way the QC here is complete garbage, or Google is buying lower binned screens and Samsungs rejects. I would bet all the publications and reviewers get cherry picked units. The only review I've seen that mentioned the issue was a Youtuber who appeared to buy the device herself. I spend the majority of time on my phone reading black text on a white background. It is SO DISTRACTING when it looks like there is a pink to white/blue gradient running across the screen... at all brightnesses... when looking squarely at the screen. Switching back to my 5X with its LCD is a sight for sore eyes. It's trash in sunlight, and colors/photos/video doesnt look as good, but the color uniformity is perfect for reading text!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Mine has a slight pink/green tint but is pretty uniform...All amoleds have it just depends how severe
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dermotti:
I had alot of issues with this on my galaxy s6. There is no fix, its a manufacturing issue. Depending how bad it is, ide exchange it. Just be prepared to possibly get another one that could be worse.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] lenell86:
Hello All,

I have the TNT 1933 image loaded on my Cingular 8125 and have been running it fine for almost a month with little to no issues. The issues I had were minor kinks here and there but did not hinder the phone usage at all and has been working fine till up to this point. I was reading my e-mails via the exchange setup to my company exchange server and then closed out of it via the task manager and decided to soft reset it. I always soft reset during the morning just because I noticed there are memory leaks and soft-resetting normally resets the memory back to normal. After soft-resetting, it would hang at the Windows Mobile 6 Professional boot loader screen and will not continue. I even left it sitting there thinking it would load but I even let it sit while it drained the whole battery. I then plugged it into the charger and proceeded to soft reset it again and still does the same thing. Yes, I originally flashed it to the Tmobile rom before flashing the Tnt1933 image and yes its both unlocked (forgot the terminology). I tried taking the battery out for awhile thinking it would clear the memory or whatever and that didn't do anything. What I can do though is enter it into the bootloader mode with the 3 color screen but I do not want to reflash since I have important files that were not copied to my SD card. If there is a way for my PC to recognize my phone so I can at least copy the files I need, then I can reflash the OS again via the bootloader screen since I can get to that mode at least.

EDIT- Could this have been caused by the battery mem program overclocked at 247Mhz (the recommended for the 8125)? Since I never installed anything else except the main programs that were included in the image of the TNT 1933, the only thing I could think of was the extended overclock and overtime, corrupted the files from overclocking...just my 2 cents
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dharvey4651:
I highly doubt that batterystatus was what caused this because I have used batterystatus with every ROM I have ever used and have never had this problem.

As much as I hate to say this... As for your important files, you might as well kiss them goodbye because they're already gone. If your device will do nothing buy enter bootloader then the boot sequence on your phone is corrupt and you have no other choice, if you want your phone to work again, but to flash that T-Mobile ROM(or you can flash the 8125 official ROM found HERE.)

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear but you cannot connect to your device from activesync if you can only reach bootloader and nothing else and if the files are not on your storage card, they're gone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] lenell86:
Well, even if you were running Battery status, did you actually do an overclock or did u just leave it on default settings upon installing? OMG I'm gonna cry:( Those files are like my life:( I just want to understand how this happened when I installed nothing at all and it had been working fine for almost 4 weeks with no issues. Just went to hell after soft-resetting.
