[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vikingalle:
When receiving a sms its will show part of the message on the lock screen. I like privacy so i dont want the part of the message to be displayed, only the sender of the sms. But it looks like there is no middle thing? Its either show the name of sender + part of the message or it hides both the sender and the message. I know Textra has this function and im a big fan of Textra, but some times you want to change things up. So does anyone know if its possible to show only the sender and no message on the lock screen?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zer0_:
Hey guys,

I was looking for some clarification on this topic.

So I heard on a youtube video (can't remember which, for the life of me, I just know it was an S8 video) that Wireless Charging has a better impact on battery in the long run.

They had stated that the battery would continue to hold a better charge over time, where as, if you used wired charging, the amount of charge the battery can hold over time would be much less to when you first got it.

Now I do know that battery gets worse over time, however, I have never heard anything about how wireless charging can increase the longitivtiy of the battery.

Maybe someone on here might have more information on this?

I will try to find that youtube video but if this is the case, then I will definitely need to get a wireless charger.

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] peachpuff:
Unless this youtuber tested 2 phones for a year, charging one with a cable and another with wireless charging i wouldn't listen to what they're saying.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zer0_:
Yeah I agree. A believe a charge cycle is the same regardless of how it is being charged.

Would never think wired charging puts more stress on battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] craigels:
I think though that with wireless charging once the phone is fully charged the pad cuts out so it won't over charge

With a wired connection when the phone is charged its still consistently trying to charge which can end up damage battering the long term
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
This is also what I have been wondering. If this is true then I may get a nice wireless pad for charging overnight (maybe the new official samsung "convertible" one but its damn expensive). I would have thought that the phone itself knows when a battery is charged and stops drawing the current from the cable though, so it would make no difference either way if that is true (but perhaps its not?).

But I did hear the exact opposite to op, that wireless charging was worse for the batteries, possibly due to the heat generated. But I don't know how true that is.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] craigdamey:
True

It's better for the battery because it charges it more slowly than a direct wired connection. There is no more heat buildup than using a wired charger, in fact likely less since the charging rate is lower.

As for the other comment that a wired charger doesn't shut off but keeps charging once the battery is full is patently false. The charging circuits whether wired or wireless are quite intelligent and gradually ramp down the charging current as the battery approaches capacity, ultimately delivering just enough current to keep the phone running. In a closed system the energy has to go somewhere and if the charger didn't do this you'd have 18W of power being dissipated as heat and a serious problem on your hands.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
For wireless I believe the heat generated is more, it is about the method of delivering the power, not the speed. The induction used to transfer power wirelessly is obviously going to be far less efficient and will generate more heat to get even a slower transfer rate then getting the power straight down a cable (but if someone knows otherwise then feel free to correct me). But then I guess the slower charging rate might also put less stress on the battery which is probably good.

For the wired, what you are basically saying is that leaving a phone plugged in to a wired charger will not harm it since the current will have been reduced in the same way a car battery charger might reduce it to a "maintenance" mode once it is fully charged. So people are believing the old myths that you can overcharge a phone, which would seem to be impossible (although I do wonder why they keep slapping up notifications saying things like "FULLY CHARGED! UNPLUG CABLE!" as if leaving it plugged in would in some way damage it!).

Just saw this which explains the overcharging possibility (or lack of)

http://www.androidauthority.com/leave-phone-plugged-overnight-703078/
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] craigdamey:
The coils themselves don't generate a significant amount of heat, it's the battery itself that causes the phone to get hot. Slower charging means less heat, which is better for your battery so wireless charging will increase your battery life. As the article notes it is also best to keep your phone above 40% charge, partly because fast chargers slow down significantly after 50% to save the battery. That initial burst from 0-50% is done to save you from a dying battery but it takes its toll.

Also note that the S8/S8+ have new battery technology that provides much improved battery life. They're saying 5% loss of capacity after two years compared to 20% for previous generations.

As a bonus not continuously plugging/unplugging a cable from your USB port will make that last longer too. I hardly ever plug my S7 Edge into a physical cable, and I know quite a few people who have killed their USB ports and can no longer charge and or transfer data from them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
Yeah I am torn at the moment between using cable and getting a wireless charger. I like my stuff charged asap but that's partly because i never leave it plugged in overnight and want it charged before bed (which I now know is not a problem anyway) and partly because i want to be able to unplug it to use it if i get a message or email, which isn't an issue with wireless as I can just pick it up and put it back on there after. I assume taking it off the charging pad and putting it back on will not have any detrimental effects to the battery. I am just trying to weigh up the pros and cons of each. All things considered I am leaning towards wireless, particularly if it isn't worse for the battery (although lets face it the difference in degradation between wireless and wired, is going to be so small it's probably not even noticeable after a couple of years by which time I would have a new phone anyway). I wonder if there is a better wireless charger which will be more future proof than the new convertible samsung one (in case I ditch samsung in future) and still give max speed, I would like one that is tilted so I can see the screen though.

My s5 is 3 years old and has only ever been charged by the massive double width "micro USB" cable which takes some force to get in and out of the socket. Still works perfectly though. Never had any usb port of any kind on any device fail, no idea what these other people are doing to kill them!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] craigdamey:
Having the dock by my bed is very convenient. Just place it on at night and pick it up during the morning. If I need to grab it for anything I can without getting tangled up in wires and it even sits at the right angle so that the always on display becomes my nightstand clock/alarm clock. Once you've gone wireless you won't go back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
I always turn my phone off at night anyway so I don't get disturbed by some spam message or something (I know I can probably set it up to be silent at certain times, but then why leave it on at all, using the battery for nothing). £70 for that Samsung charger though!! I know there are much cheaper ones but I am not sure they will charge at the same rate, the new samsung one charges faster than any previous wireless charger AFAIK and I would want one where the phone can sit up, and most are just flat. Hmmmm although the do have it for £50 on amazon sold by "fonejoy", still steep though.

This one looks good https://www.amazon.co.uk/CHOETECH-W...=UTF8&qid=1492192247&sr=1-9&keywords=choetech but not sure if itll charge at the same speed as the new samsung one and doesnt use a USB-C connector which probably rules it out. May as well just get the samsung one.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] craigdamey:
I use the US version of this and it works fine. https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Mobile-P...d=1492192742&sr=1-5&keywords=rav+power+qc+2.0. The Fast Charging Dock comes with a cable so that should be all you need.

And yes, I have my Do Not Disturb settings to suppress notifications 10:30PM to 6:30AM. Wife complained she couldn't sleep with all that noise going on :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
Thats a wall charger? I'm talking about the charging pad itself. I believe the new Samsung one outputs 15w so is faster than any previous ones which are all 10w I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] craigdamey:
There are only two types of charging dock, standard and fast-charge. None of them output 15W to the phone. The expensive Samsung is just a fancy fast-charge dock so it will charge at the same rate as the Seneo and others that support fast-charge. The Samsung fast-charge adapter only provides a maximum output power of 15W (9V @ 1.67A) so it would require 100% transfer efficiency to charge the phone at that power, and in reality it's only about 65% so at most you'll see 10W versus standard Qi charging at around 7W.

All of the Seneo chargers I have coupled with RavPower or Samsung Fast-Charge adapters charge at the same rate (10W to begin with tapering off to 7W above 50% charge).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
Ahh ok, I will have to check out a few seneo pads.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zeal415:
If your using fast charging AKA Adaptive charging it shouldn't matter either way. The Fast charging port on the phone, and the wireless charging should go through the phone and the phone should automatically stop all charging going to the battery. This is the reason why if you were to leave your fast charger on all night whether it be Wireless or wired, you can pick your phone up at 99% or 98% instead of 100%. The phone stopped charging, then when it drops to a certain % it starts to charge up again.

As far as which is actually best for strain, it shouldnt matter because afaik to the battery its the all the same. Wireless charging just has some coils almost that send the charge wirelessly, but it still goes to the same place.

This is what I have read from google, so I am no expert on the subject, but it seemed pretty legit, and makes sense to me, a person with a Tech background. If anyone knows better please be my guest.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] willstay:
There is no correct answer to this question. Battery life is function of many things -

1. Every battery has specified charge cycle. One full charge from min to max is 1 cycle. Two full charge from mid to max is also 1 cycle. So the more you use your device, charge cycles will come to an end more quickly. For example if you use two similar spec phones; first one you use heavily requiring full cycle charge everyday vs second which you use less and requires full charge every alternate day (or to phrase in other way, first is almost completely discharged by evening, second is half discharged). So the theory goes that second phone battery will last double the time than first.

2. Every battery articles you read, you will find recommendation to charge battery in specified current or usually slow charging. Today's battery technology should be immune to this but I still turn fast charging off. It is likely that not all the batteries are immune.

3. Heat is bad for battery. Some wireless chargers heat up. The TYLT VU that I use get uncomfortably warm when I place phone vertically (possibly coils do not align and multiple of them gets activated). Heat build up is there during fast charging too. If you play CPU intensive games and charge at the same time, phone gets warm. All this heat is working negative to the life span of battery.

4. Lithium ion batteries have less chemical stress when they are not fully charged or fully discharged. If you research you will find articles telling one to keep battery between 40% to 90%. Hence I usually do not charge to 100% and if I do, I watch or play games to bring battery level down. Search for best charge level to store lithium ion batteries, I think it is from 45% to 50%. This I guess keeps batteries at the least chemical stress state. So do your maths if you are type who likes to keep battery at 100% charge at all the times.

As you can see there is no straight answer to this question. Battery life is function of all these factors.

Added: I didn't read full article but you can check this link which speaks about impact of heat and leaving battery to full charge state.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
I got the OEM samsung convertible fast charging pad but it doesn't come with a wall plug as I read somewhere (I guess thats just us in the UK getting screwed over yet again). The manual says "Use only Samsung-approved chargers that support fast charging (9v/1.67A, 9v/2A, 12v/2.1A).". So I need a wall plug that will be able to provide the fastest charging speeds from it (which I am guessing is one that does 12v/2.1A??). I dont think all the standard plugs with 2.4a sockets are going to do it right? The "30w" RAVpower one that craigdamey linked says it can do 12v/2A but only for QC3.0 (which I obviously wont get since its just being plugged straight into the charging pad), otherwise its 5v/2.4a. Not sure what one to get now. Theres an Anker 24w one but that says 2.4a per port (I know little about electrics and how these things work!).

Greets,

The GPS in my Tilt is perpetually in a "Waiting for a valid GPS signal" state, so I figure I must hard reboot. Of course, I don't want to because I have it loaded up pretty well.

Is there a way to backup the system so that you can unback your programs, settings, etc. after a hard reboot without unbacking whatever the problem was back into existence?

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
First of all, are you sure your GPS settings are all correct? For example, i was using COM Port 4 and Baud Rate of 4800 at first, but changed it to Baud Rate 9600 (as per GPSTest) and now it works fine. Can you usually get a good signal to GPS?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jdmba:
Unfortunately Yes

I have run GPS Test 1.04, and while it finds the GPS at COM4 and 9600 baud, it never actually makes any of the 'bars' and is in yellow GPS Starting Up mode.

Of course, forget TomTom (6.030) ... that is "waiting for a valid GPS signal"

I realize the above says that the GPS is starting up just fine ... but I cannot get a fix.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
Are you in an area with a good GPS signal? The error you are getting is usually saying it can't connect to any satellites...

Perhaps a stupid question but have you tried using it in an open area (i.e. Outside, with no High-rising buildings to get in the way?).

The first time your phone connects to the satellites is always the hardest. Once it's got an idea of where they are, you should be fine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jdmba:
External GPS Settings?!?!

Audio,

I did not mess with my GPS Settings, but I did look at them. Under Settings -> System -> External GPS Settings, I see 3 tabs with a few options. My first tab (what should programs use) is set at Com4, which is correct. On the next tab (Hardware), it is set at 4800 baud, but "gps hardware port" is set to none.

Is that right?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
Yep, those are the settings I have - although I use COM9.

If you have left it for a good while with a clear view of the sky (half hour say) and you have run the "Quick GPS" from the programs menu, then I would backup everything with say SPBbackup and then hard reset. Before restoring the backup try the GPS again. If it works then a setting is wrong. Sometimes you will be lucky and even after restoring the backup it will remain working.

There is a registry change you can make to restore the External GPS settings without doing a hard reset. You'll have to search for it here somewhere. (Might be worth trying before the hard reset approach, but if you have already got a full backup program Sprite orSPBbackup, then you have nothing to lose anyway.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] michalopoulosgk:
I had to hard reset a couple of times recently. I back up my whole phone with Sprite Backup (comes with the Kaiser box, but you can buy it separately if you do not have it, Spb has a back up program as well). The backup file is on the storage card, so it does not go away with the hard reset. After the hard reset, when the phone goes into a factory OEM status (Sprite disappears!), I use the CD with the Sprite installation, reinstall it, and then go through Sprite and "Restore" the last backed up profile of my phone that sits on the storage card. In 5 minutes, everything is back on as it was! It does cause some small problems with my calendar, but are easy to fix by manual entry. I do not have to reinstall any programs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gabriel31337:
It happened to me too... do you have more maps loaded? Try switching to another map, turn off tomtom, turn it on, switch back to your default map and try checking GPS signal :rolleyes:

Worth trying..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BBM-Lee:
I Keep all my contacts on my SIM, and all my cab files i have installed on my phone (in .cab format) in /Storage Card/Cabs/.. So if i ever need to reset away from my home computer I always have the cabs on hand..

Was a helpful strategy when I was first getting used to my tilt, until I figured out what worked and what didnt.. but I still keep the same setup going as it lets me modify other peoples phones to something like mine just by pulling out the storage card and dropping it in their phone..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gabriel31337:
Similar here ;) it just works if bad things are happening from time to time :rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jlczl:
I use Sprite as well. However, I don't have to install Sprite from the CD to get it to restore. I just click my backup file and it restores everything because it is a self executing file. BTW, I also keep all my CAB's on my Storage card just in case.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] michalopoulosgk:
That is a very good tip! I have been wastnig time reinstallng the software. Thanks!

I also keep all my cabs on the storage drive, I can take them out and reinstall them very easily that way.
