ROM is latest stock version.

I'm not concerned with apps that are memory hogs, and I use Pocket Plus to fully close tasks.

I'm seeing growth of 6 MB overnight in the process services.exe. (See attached file for detailed list of processes and memory).

I'm starting to disable apps one at a time. I'm suspicious of ActiveSync so I'm starting with it first.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GSLEON3:
Photo Contacts ain't helping either. Unless they fixed it, I gave that one up last year because of a serious memory leak.

And if you're using MSVC you can definitely get rid of sddaemon.exe, that is for the Cyberon Voice Speed Dial & is what keeps putting the shorcut there in programs after you delete it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jmcbride:
Although the memory usage of shell32.exe is stable, it seems very large (over 10 MB). Is that normal?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] adomila:
basic questions/clarifications

if i may be allowed to ask a couple of questions/clarifications:

1. does it follow/mean that the larger the memory consumption the more it/app drains the battery?

2. does it follow/mean that the higher the cpu usage the more it/app drains the battery

3. what app is that shows the heap? i'm only using task manager 2.9 by dotfred, it shows the memory but no heap.

4. I don’t know if this is a good idea, but anyhow this also came, from a desperate search, for an application that determines, w/c program drains the battery more. Is it possible to log the CPU usage? configurable to log only at every 5,10, 20, 30 sec. I know this would also drain the battery more but if the log, logs the 3 tops most drainers then we could start from there. I hope I'm making myself clear. Thanks and more power…

i hope i'm not off topic..

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jfeldredge:
jmcbride is talking about the amount of allocated memory increasing overnight, rather than the battery consumption. The heap is the list of currently-unused memory locations. When a program needs additional memory, it asks the system for a block of memory of a particular size, and this memory is allocated from the heap. When the program is through using this memory, it should then release the memory back to the heap. The operating system is supposed to combine adjacent free memory blocks, if possible, so that as much memory as possible is available as a contiguous block. This procedure is known as garbage collection. If a program loses track of what memory it is no longer using, without releasing it back to the operating system, the amount of free memory gradually gets less and less. This is known as a memory leak. One application that I have noticed is prone to memory leaks is Mobipocket Reader. If I leave it running for hours, I eventually have to reboot my phone in order to get back the free memory and be able to run commands.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] motorsports601:
Ok I tried a search first no results I remember my note 7 being extremely bright I could wear my sunglasses and being outside or in a dark tinted car with glasses on and being able to see the screen perfectly I don't think my s8 plus is as bright also my white color on the screen isnt bright white or as white as I remember on my note 7 . I did try adjusting the colors no luck. And adjusting the settings it's on adaptive which I like the best but not as good as I remember. Maybe it's my gpel screen protector? Or maybe it's software built in to help this larger screen with battery life ? I believe this isn't the same screen type as the note 7. Or I'm just crazy lol the bright screen was a huge selling point for me since I live in the sunniest place on earth

Dumb question, auto brightness enabled or disabled? Reason being, the auto allows a threshold of nit output higher than ever going to the slider to 100% yourself.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
Hi,

Just wondering who received the OTA in Korea and had a device with Red Tint?

Did it allow you to set the white point and completely eliminate the Red?

Is there anything else to the update?

Is the phone smooth, smoother, less smooth post OTA?

Thanks for letting us in the US know what to expect.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Sindroid:
I read somewhere that Samsung will release an update to remedy the red tint.. or all tinted phones for that matter.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
Yes. That's what an OTA is. They got it on some carriers in Korea yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] siff:
Are you sure it's not the Blue Tint Filter in the display settings? If you turn it on the screen does turn a little pinkish/red...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
No its not. Read the countless articles from major news sources. It's an adjustment issue. They need to expand the calibration levels. Then you can tune it out. That's the OTA that was just released in Korea. It will hit the USA next week per Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Infobits:
The silence on this red tint issue is deafening. Is Korea allowed to participate in posting on XDA I wonder now? The supposed update to fix the red tint was released a day ago and I've not heard or read much about the results of any of them that applied the update. Did it really work or failed? Why don't we hear from any of the many Korean users who surely must have applied the update by now and can tell us if it worked satisfactorily or not. From the silence and Samsung not releasing it to the rest of the world this week ending already... makes me suspect it was not a 100% satisfactory fix. If it is a hardware display design issue... oh! oh! Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LanC_KR:
Korean who use SM-955N here. I had red tint on the edge of the screen and the update was released 4/27.

It adds the settings which users can add gradient to the edge of the screen, so users can "conceal" the red tint and make it normal.

Well in my case it worked perfectly and I am happy with it.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sunny_j:
This is what I found by googling it
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LanC_KR:
Yup. Exactly same as mine. The mere tint on the screenshot goes away when it reboots.

I guess it is some kind of color calibration inside the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sunny_j:
My S8+ suffers from the red/pink glow on all 4 edges and I'm in talks with Samsung and my carrier to get my phone replaced. I'm not sure how I feel about a software "fix" when it's a hardware defect on a $1200CAD device

Got the OTA yesterday (CSC DBT from amazon.de), this is how the screen settings look now!

For some devices these fixes will work, but on uneven screens (red tint on one side of the screen, and for example yellow on the other), which most of them are to some extent, this will not improve the situation!

What does work better than expected is the possibility to change the color shifting on the edges. On one of my affected S8+ (I own 3 atm, and have seen many more for comparison) this makes the screen far better!

An interesting thing:

I own 3 S8+, all from amazon.de. Only one of them received the OTA yesterday. The 2 other ones still don't get it!

It seems this is because my 3rd device was on a march build (C something) when it received the OTA, the other ones (which did not get the OTA) are on Build (AQ)DD, because I did the DD OTA on them before!
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] UltraMaks:
We all know that Amazon version can't be unlocked (at least now), but what about hiding amazon ads on the lock screen just like in this post?

When I tried it - I received

Does anyone know the reason of this (amazon closed this "hole") or we need to find another approach here as this command is not for our device?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] iBlowpot:
They've locked the bootloader. No way around it, but they're (Amazon) supposedly offering an option on there website to remove the ads; not sure though.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] UltraMaks:
I know about bootloader. But earlier it was possible to get rid of it by simply using adb. Now it throws an error

PS can't find any amazon link for removing ads. And I do believe it can't exist as they sell this phone for Prime users 45$ cheaper than original phone. So you think they can sell the phone cheaper and allow removing ads after that? :)

PPS Found a workaround (not a complete removal, but no need root and unlock bootloader). Here it is. Thanks Gen4 maintainers :)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] iBlowpot:
PS: the option to remove the ads was spending that extra $45 in order to get a device free of advertisements, though I'm sure it's too late to go that route.

Hello there fellers...

Is there any difference between last gen. wireless charging stand and the new one released together for S8?

Does the new one have faster charging speed?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Flame Red:
If you mean this one,

I got one and did not like it. Unlike the Samsung Qi charger I had purchased for my car, this one seems to cycle constantly. So it goes on battery, and the phone discharges for a while, then it starts charging, then you get a full charge and it turns off and the cycle starts over. I found it too annoying to use.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Sindroid:
Thanks. The new convertible stand looks great but is a bit expensive for now.

Edit: I read on a review for this model that "the correct power supply must be used for it to function properly."
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] sanjsrik:
If you mean that it should use the cables/wall plug that it came with, yes, that's true. I have two of them and without a quickcharging cable/cable, it doesn't charge/work as a quick charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] imapfsr:
Sindroid,

Here is the one I have been using

https://www.amazon.ca/Wireless-Char...24826&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+wireless+charger

Works very well, not high speed but 3.5 hours for full charge and very sturdy. Also has the rubberized grip so very sturdy for the phone to sit on as well. Highly recommend it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] sanjsrik:
This looks very cool. Does it come with cables and a wall plug? I see "a" cable, but not sure if comes with all the necessary cables. I found it on the US site for $25 (guessing that's what it is at the exchange for CAD).

So far this is the only app I have found that just won't work in Android-x86 form the ones I have tried. It loads but once you click on something to watch, where you get the playback options it just closes the app.

It doesn't work on Remix OS or in Android-x86 6.0r3. The weird thing is that I have tried many different versions of the app and it's just something that makes it crash on Android-x86
[Remix OS for PC] witsonace:

It's something else. The app closes as soon as you click on a movie to see the play options, before you get to click play.

I even tried Showbox 9.1 which is the latest and it still does the same on Android-x86

VLC does work with Remix OS, you just need to install the x86 build.

This comes from someone who had used VLC on Remix OS on his desktop before Remix OS had stopped working with said desktop (I hope to try it with the updated Android-x86 kernel, though).

OFFICIAL MIUI SCREEN RECORDER ON GLOBAL ROM

ROOT NEEDED

Introduction:

Right now the new Screen recorder that MIUI developed is only available on the Beta roms, but it can be some what easily installed on the Global Rom.

Instructions:

Download the app from APK mirror

Download the attached file which contains the libraries needed by the app to work

Copy the two files named "libMiuiScreenRecord.so" on /system/lib and /system/lib64 respectively. They have the same name, but are different files, so don't get confused.

Assign permissions rw-r--r-- 644 to the copied files (or use MiXplorer Beta to copy the files)

Install the APK downloaded from APK mirror.

That's all.

Bugs:

The app can't record internal sound (at least on my device. Needs more testing). Aside from that, it can record from the mic.

Notes:

The process of copying the libs was made with the app MiXplorer Beta, so I didn't have to worry about assigning permissions to the files (apparently the app assigns the permissions automatically).

You obviously need root.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] leoni1980:
Let me first state that I AM NOT decrying the needs of Athena owners, nor am I suggesting they shouldn't own one. Everyone has different devices to fit different needs, HOWEVER in the course of heated debate on these forums people have frequently stated that their Athena is MORE THAN CAPABLE of playing video, without optimisation which neither skips, jumps or loses sync. I owned two and over the course of nearly nine months NEVER managed to get a high quality, non-optimised video to display solidly without losing sync.

What I ask is for people to describe a high quality (700mb+) Divx or Xvid file that their Athena can play fluidly and without losing sync, and for the sake of credibility upload a video of this in action. When I get chance later today I will upload a video of an N95 playing a full-size divx movie - I will demonstrate the video size and specifics, show the device playing it whilst multitasking and demonstrate fast-forwarding, pausing and playing and how this affects lip-sync and general playback quality.

Let me re-iterate that I understand that the N95 is not a competitor to the Athena and that for the most part it is unsuited to the needs of people on these forums; but if you're going to state that your video performance is good I'd appreciate if you could prove it! It is after all a powerful machine with loads more RAM and processing power than the humble N95.

Just a bit of fun.
