If we're counting XDA posts, [MENTION=5901115]TheSt33v[/MENTION] has a 1,472 posts/1,115 thanks ratio for his helpful posts and his quite-popular guide for unlocking the Droid Turbo bootloader. (Hint: it's not just running Sunshine.) Plus his other posts for dev work.

Just for comparison, you seem to be at 6/0? If you ever unlocked a Droid Turbo bootloader, you would be reading his guide in detail...

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] phegde111:
My moto z plays display looks warmer. whites are not pure white a bit of yellowish. That's when viewed straight on (i.e. normally). From a slight angle whites look white.

Initially i haven't noticed this, but when I compared this with redmi note 3, i can see the difference where redmi note 3 is more vibrant than moto.

Does anyone else noticed this?

Is it normal or issue with the display??
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] FreedFromDeath:
Have you already tried changing the color mode in Display Settings?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] shantusingh:
I feel the same, warmer yellow tint. And when i tilt the phone upwards from below a little, then white looks white. I have not compared but clearly see this. Please someone tell me too if its normal or should i get it replaced ?!

Yes i did , but still please read my above comment and reply.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] phegde111:
Yeah. I tried that but no use
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] shantusingh:
I compared my phone next to htc desire 816 and lenovo k4 note and i completely felt the yellow feeling on whites makes the color of the people skin on images and videos look awesome and that's why they should have done it. As on others skin looks nothing, just flat okaish if compared. Just feel little yellowish on texts in black with white background. Its more into very light bluish white in other screens to give that screen white feeling. I just have arranged a technician from the website where i bought it. Just will show him once, to clear my misconception . And i am using amoled sceen phone after so long. Few more things I feel the screen in warmer so even in full britghtness it doesnt harm eyes at all.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] StreetkillnHD:
Its not an issue, many phones has came out with warmer displays, its more of a screen calibration type thing, at the factories some phone screens come out a bit warmer and when its inspected they dont really look for that so thats why some phones are warmer and some are cooler in colors if it annoys you try to get another.

Thanks even i was confused weather i should replace it or not. But i am replacing it now
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ¿GotJazz?:
Hi -

Another pleasant surprise on the HD8 (2016) was that I can use Battery Monitor Widget to track the HD8 battery drain.

I couldn't do this on the 2015 version.

I can't create a widget (unless someone discovers root), but the history in BMW works.

However, I still can't see which programs are using the most power, which is normally available on any Android phone / tablet.

Are there any apps out there that can track battery usage by service / app for the new HD8?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lauseker_diego:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ¿GotJazz?:

Where is that located in the HD 8 settings?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4859884:
Amazon in all their wisdom either hid or removed that option in Fire OS so it's not possible to enable it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ¿GotJazz?:
Hey, guys - I found a solution for detailed battery/app usage on the Fire Tablets (no root required): GSam Battery Monitor

I also ended up paying for the Amazon Tablet version to support the developer (and for the additional functionality): GSam Battery Monitor (Kindle Tablet Edition)

These even worked on my 2015 (5th Gen) HD8, which didn't seem to work with any of my other battery monitoring apps.

Cheers!

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] EagletTailor:
Hello

I moved from Note 5 to Mate 9 which is impressive. However, in Note 5 I used to activate Private Mode via fingerprint but this option is not available anymore in Mate 9 although some sites are talking about the same steps.

Since I can't find an option for Private Mode, using "Private Space" can I move files from user 1 to user 2 to keep them private?

I hope I explained the question correctly.

Thanks,

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] formesyn:
I had a small OTA update on Christmas Day ( 12MB ) which I installed ( the Security Patch level went to December 1st, possibly build g935fxxu1bplb ? ) - however afterwards I started to get complete screen corruption ( grey digital snow) when waking the phone back up after it had been left for 30 minutes. Once the screen was corrupted you had to power the phone down and it would eventually reboot OK.

I did a factory wipe and reset in the hope that would fix the screen corruption it but the same thing happened then even with no apps or other software installed.

After the factory reset It then progressed to corruption of the screen all the time to the point where the screen is black and 'off' and doesn't work at all now.

Anyone else having any problems with the Dec 1st Security update similar to this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Chris_c81:
Was this a carrier update? Which?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] formesyn:
It's unlocked so update should not have been carrier specific and nothing appeared different afterwards other than the increasingly frequent screen corruption. Currently used with 3 UK.

I also installed the 12Mb update a few days ago (unlocked AT) and since then I had 1 issue yesterday during the night:

Phone randomly rebooted and while doing so I had some kind of gray bar at the top of the screen.

Got this update too yesterday but via the Samsung Windows application. Not noticed any issues to date.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] formesyn:
Just to update - have got my phone back from the Cambridge Samsung Service Centre, no details on the fix with the packaging but I assume as it was a new system board as that was what was discussed when I dropped it off.

Setting the phone back up - having installed the apps, it has just re-applied the 12MB December update .... but I've just seen a corrupted screen ( Rotating portrait -> Landscape ).

It didn't crash the phone but the fact I've seen it again is worrying. Going to be speaking the the SSC tomorrow about this - and confirm if the repair was a new mainboard, or if they've just reflashed the original one.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dacoco:
Hi,

i got a m8 which i unlocked via htcdev and it want to send it for warranty repair now.

The problem is that the phone won't boot!

I plug in the charger and nothing happens. After a couple of MINUTES the led shows up and the phone charges. But only sometimes.

With a little luck i can get into recovery and reinstall Viper or Leedroid ROM. But after successfuly installing the phone won't reboot and just turns off after the htc screen.

No matter what i try, it doesn't boot. But from time to time i can reach recovery.

So what can i do with in bootloader or recovery?

The biggest problem is the htc screen which is full of the red "not official release" stuff. How can i put this back to stock?

Thanks

Daniel

Now nothing happens anymore besides the phone shows up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM20)" in the device manager. When putting the Charger / Cable in the charging light flashes one time. If i put the charger just halfway in it lights up for about 2-3 seconds and turns off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinchao740:
They won't take it back for warranty, because by unlocking the bootloader, you void your warranty. Your best bet is to flash RUU. Can you get the computer to recognize the phone by fastboot? Can you get the phone to boot into boot loader at all?

And also, have you made any modification prior to the incident other than unlocking bootloader?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dacoco:
At the moment - no. It won't even boot into bootloader. The last try is now a new battery. I opened it because HTC refuses the warranty anyway and maybe the battery is the problem. I don't think so but for 6 Euros I give it a try.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinchao740:
What modifications have you made to the phone prior to the incident other than unlocking the boot loader? Custom ROM, custom kernel or TWRP
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dacoco:
This is the strange thing. I sent my m8 to HTC and they replaced the Mainboard. So the phone was completely new and stock. As the warranty was in the last days after this i immediately unlocked the bootloader officially using htcdev. Then I installed TWRP and MIUI 7 after this. Then I noticed the first time the phone was not turning on. It happened after unlocking but as I did the unlock immediately it maybe wasn't because of it. But as it is not my main phone I didn't really care and put it away. Now, about 3 months later I want to use it as my main phone for drone flying and I flashed Viper ROM and after it didn't boot LeeDroid. And now it doesn't turn on no matter what I do. Before I could manage to get into bootloader sometimes at least. I think the new main board has a defect but after 3 months, with no warranty and HTC unlocked they don't give a ****.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinchao740:
Yeah if you unlock the boot loader, you void your warranty
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dacoco:
I know but I didn't make something wrong. I unlocked every bootloader of every phone and tablet I ever had so I think it's even the battery or a defective replacement Mainboard.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinchao740:
IDK but im going to say to try to boot into bootloader and the problem would be much easier to solve. If you manage to boot into bootloader, don't exit it and post here the 'fastboot getvar all' command on here. use this link from my google drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2FyBGshXWIxeHdPRy1zWXdwM1E/view?usp=sharing to get the adb.zip if you have a windows computer. extract the zip file, go into the adb bundle folder, sdk, platform-tool press shift and right click at the same time and select open command prompt here and type in fastboot getvar all (your phone have to be in fastboot mode.in bootloader, select fastboot) and post the results here.

Hi!

I am planning not to use any protective case/covers etc. accessories for my phone. Is it bad idea? Will Samsung S7 edge look like crap soon or it is scratch resistant and will keep nice look even after few months?

How does your phone looks like now after not using any protective covers? Could you post pictures and aprox time of usage?

Thank you, deff_ins
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Valentin4ou93:
2 months - no protection , I'm carrying it in a pocket without other things like money or keys . No scratches at all , only fingerprints all over
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] roninep:
Im a diehard screenprotector and case guy. Since I had been having so many problems finding a curved protector that sticks, and the ones that dont cover the edge looked like crap, I decided 2 months ago to go without a protector. I have a case that shows the edges well, and covers the frame nice.

After two months I finally have a 1/2 inch scratch on the face...nothing too bad and I will live with it...not sure how it happened but the glass has held up pretty well considering I am not a desk guy and am always using and doing things with my phone outside.

Overall Im surprised the glass has done well. That being said, and now that I have a scratch, I will be looking to get a protector again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Leejay1953:
Well, good luck with living dangerously. I have my S7 Edge with the LED cover now for 8 months. During that time I dropped it 3 times. The first time the screen and digitizer were broken. The display replacement cost me Euro 260. 10 days after the repair, it dropped out of my pocket again. Invariably, it always lands on the screen because the LED cover flips open when it falls. Display glass cracked but digitizer still intact. After the first accident I had ordered a tampered glass screen protector from Hongkong. It arrived only 2,5 months later. When I finally got it and tried to fit it, half the display was unresponsive. When I tried to remove the glass protector the phone slipped out of my hand and dropped on the tiled kitchen floor. Guess what happened. Part of the display AND the glass protector shattered. The lucky part is, the upper right corner of the display which was cracked before got shattered. The display is still useable. I actally got used to the broken display. My hope is that in the new year the price for a new display might come down a bit. As I'm not planning to buy another expensive phone anytime soon, a second display replacement is probably the cheapest option.

Bottomline: Yes the S7E is a bloody fragile phone! Depending on the individual clumsiness, it is virtually impossible to assume that you will never drop it over an extended period. If you want to have solid protection you have to go for these hideous army style covers but they make the phone look like a monsterous thing. I like covers with functionality like the LED or S View covers but they only protect the edges and backside of the phone.

The Bottomline of the bottomline: Maybe I shouldn't have bought such an expensive and fragile phone in the first place. End of story. Cheers LJ

Back near camera cracked on mine even though I've never dropped it, had to put a skin on it to hide the crack. Also it has a mark on the main screen, suspect coinage in my pocket done that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Neorpowa:
Never used a case, I've had mine since two weeks after the release. I always carry it in my pocket with my keys and other stuff. Dropped it only once, no scratches cracks or any other damage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Lepa79:
Been using Carol Blue for 2 months. I slapped a dbrand skin on the back the 1st week so I can use it naked and not worry about back glass scratches.

At office and work, I go naked. Out and about, I put on spigen rugged case. Very easy to put on and off and slim enough and plenty protection.

The front screen now has few minor scratches on it. No idea how that happened. I'm very careful with my phone.

I just put armorsuit screen protector on it and it works PERFECT. loving the phone and how it feels in the hand. Amazing. I now have dbrand skin on back and screen protector on the front. Totally protected from scratches when going with no case at home and office.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Bart3n:
i never ever used a case in my life. it hides the beautiful lines of the device
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Chris_c81:
Take it from someone who has been through the process of having the screen replaced - use protection!

I dropped it on its face, from toilet height (yes, I was on the bog after a long night shift!) and before turning it over I just knew it was bad. You hear 30 seconds of cracking noises as they tear through the display glass slowly whilst you contemplate your stupidity at the 'oh s**t' moment you just found yourself in.

Cost me £50 in excess as I was insured luckily, however with no insurance you're looking at £200 ball park.

I actually had the LED case on at the time. That did naff all in protecting the screen. Flip cases really should have some sort of auto close feature! Might have been enough to save the screen if so!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] uaktags:
I always thought about going without anything, but I love the led case to much. I don't know how so many people have broken theirs while also using this case, I've dropped it more times than I can count. Even especially since I typically keep the phone on my lap when driving, so I tend to open the door, stand up, and find it on the asphalt ground.

I still even have the square sticker on the back of my phone. No scratches, no breaks, perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] roninep:
Update : just wanted to update my previous post with this new information. I ordered and received the ArmorSuit screen protector for my S7 Edge. I have never used a wet screen protector before and I have never found an edge screen protector that sticks or works either in the dry form or the tempered glass.

I watched the video on installation. it took me about 10 minutes to put it on. I let it air dry for another 15 minutes then using a hair dryer on low setting I got the sides to easily adhere to the screen. Left it overnight, put on my I-Blason edge case. I have never been so happy as I have with this screen protector on it looks amazing. Edges stick perfectly.

I'm glad to have my screen protected again and the case on ..I just don't think it's worth taking the chance with such an expensive device. I lived on the edge for a few months with nothing on it, but I'm glad I have something back on it now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Lepa79:
Yep, Armorsuit is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Mengx:
Yep, wet screen protector work awesome with edge . now using zagg screen protector and led cover close 3 month and no scratch
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jeraldisdope:
I wish I took a picture of the device I just returned. Dropped it and it fell on a rock. Ugly circular crack and a first the phone still functioned but after about a week my screen just went haywire and would only turn on after multiple power on and offs.

It was all bad lol
