[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
Can u just tell me exactly what to do?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
If u mean the color adjustment on asscssibily- Visio n . Then the color adjustment is off. So it's the problem that.see above the edit post .. I write something more .or maybe is the video enhancer?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dynospectrum:
Yes..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
I don't know .. it won't fixed.. as I said I believe the problem is a sensor because when I go to a place with full lights then the screen it's dim. The opposite happens some times when the place is don then the screen is fully bright .. help me fix it please.. I spend a lot of money for this phone ....and this made me angry..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dynospectrum:
just turn off auto brightness
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
As I write above it's already off the auto brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
Can someone help me or I have to throw the phone on the garbages?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
Someone please . .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dr.kush.s:
Things to try:

1. Go to Settings->Advanced Features->Video Enhancer and turn it OFF.

2.Open MX Player->tap 3 dots in upper right corner->Settings->Player->Screen->tick off the Brightness checkbox

Try these two solutions and report back!

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
Hey dude. I done it right? I think the problem is with a sensor because if something cover the sensors in the area wirh the camerw then the screen auto brightness itself. Is the video enhance off? See the photo
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dr.kush.s:
Yup it's off!

Any luck with your problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
No man. I think the prpblem is a sensor . But i heard all the s7 edge users have the same issue as me . What about you?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
Man if something covers the sensors which are on the camera at the left, the brightness auto change itself .... also if i go in a darj place then the same thing. Or if i go in a place which have a lot of sun or light. THATS WHY I HATEEE this phone.. i paid 500 euros for it and i dont believe its happening
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
Well i found the issue but i dont know how to fix it. Well i download a sensor test app from google play that lets you test the sensor . I went to the light sensor and put my finger on the top of the phone where is the selife camera and i realise that when the auto brightness is off the screen is dim, and the sensor shows 0.0. When i change off the auto brightness and put my finger on the sensor the same thing happens. So its a problem from the sensor not a feature or settings. What i mean, i mean that when rhe auto brightness is off then the screen brightness change itself LIKE WHEN YOU CHOOSE ON THE AUTO BRIGHTNESS. Well i dont have any other option from put this s.hit phone on street so a car can break it. I dont belive itttttt

Any way to fix this annoying bug ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kanas6950:
I have the same issue, Samsung is ****, I'm switching to Apple

Hey Guys, This problem is also on the S8 and Note 8... I tried it in the stores

Don't Buy Samsung products, You'll end up dissappointed

Their Auto Brightness is a joke, It works when it's off too, And you can't turn it off

They don't want you to use high brightness because then their screens will have burn in quickly because they are cheap

and their batteries won't last too much

Oh wait.. And the SIM tray is Plastic haha, It broke and my sim card got stuck inside

Are you kidding me Samsung, This expensive phone has a Plastic SIM tray?

You must learn from Apple, They use Metal SIM Trays since 2010 or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Agreed , plastic sim tray , auto brightness bug, color peeling of around the usb ports. There are signs of sub standard built quality. But tell me honestly which other android phone has the best premium build quality without any issues. And apple , although fast and better build, its so much closed and limited OS, and pay for everything policy, forces oneself to choose android, and i wont say that others like lg, sony, huawei, oppo and htc etc have bad build quality, but they are neither good nor bad then samsung, all have their own downsides , because nothing is perfect, and to stick with what you have until it gets the job done is the best lifestyle. Good day !

Does anyone experiencing echo when making phone calls. The echo is from the caller side and I dont hear it from my phone. Whenever someone is calling me they say that they are hearing them selves whenever they say something. So I tried calling myself from my wife's phone and I can hear it aswell.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kojaraty:
Its crazy how I paid more than $800 on a smartphone that it fails to do one of the simplest task a smartphone can do which is making phone calls without any issues :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GalaxyS8Plus:
I have the same issue...any solution so far from SAMSUNG..???

My new Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus is just a week old now but getting severe Echo on the other end when made or received calls!!! I am with EE in the UK.

When someone calls me or I get call from someone party at the other end is complaining that he/she get their voice echo'd badly, but at the Galaxy end no issues perfect sound. I tried calls with speaker phone ON/headset connected, both cases no echo at the other end!!! Only other reference to this entry.

As I said when headset or speaker phone ON on Galaxy, no echo at the other end. Also i could see when Speaker phone is switched off Echo gradually goes down though first 30 sec after speaker off echo is maximum.

I removed cases and screen protector and tried same issue. Also tried with Voice over Wifi Off - No difference. BTW I am in an area with lower signal strength. But @ Galaxy end everything is perfect, No issue at all!!!

Any suggestions..?? Not keen to return phone as it might take weeks to get a replacement and again had to copy all data etc.

Thanks

P***d of S8+ User

I also have this issue, on AT&T S8 plus. Turned off "Enhanced LTE Services" under phone setting using nova activities and still does the same thing. Guess i'll try a factory data reset. Anyone posted above figure out what the issue was?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] EranD:
Having same issue , even after changing buttom Mic.

When use speaker the upper Mic is used and the echo gone.

No solution yet
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] standm:
Download and replace this file in your system/etc folder. You will obviously need root. I've been back and forth with the service provider but decided to fix the problem myself. The only change I've made from the original file is to turn down your second mic gain which doesn't actually get used during a standard call anyway. I've left it untouched for all other modes.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Seyko91:
solved for me

Hello, I had this problem after a return of services for a simple button , he came back New but my interlocutors complained of an unbearable echo of their voices during the calls, but that in their senses, me on my side I had no echoes. Short end after some research and not wanting to send him back to service for a week and having to give me a huawei, I decided to do it myself, so there are two seals at the microphones, they can to be defective or badly put. Need to know that it is the noise reduction microphone that is problematic so that from above. For my part I have not been to look at the seals, I opened the phone and all the screws of the phone was too tight I loosened and test before going further and close the tel. And for me it worked! To close the phone it is necessary to change the adhesive which is stuck on the hull, this moment is very difficult because it is necessary to remove the old one and it is well glued! And for the waterproofness I do not advise you to go

to bathe with after that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] baghira79:
I had a problem - The person I was calling, could hear his own voice (echo) so, Samsung Store (Vancouver) send my phone for the repairs in Toronto, later appeared another problem – the phone could not recognise any sim card. Then they send it again to Toronto. After I received, în a few days Echo problem returned back so they send it again to Toronto to fix. In total my phone was sent 4 times to Toronto for repairs – every time leaving me with no phone for weeks and a lot of waste of time and so much stress.

Guys believe me I have spend so, so many hours for the past 9 months over the phone, live chatting on computer and emails with their customer service teling me : “This issue was escalated in top priority and discussed with higher management” Everybody knew me already in their offices I guess. By the end I was speaking over the phone with the general manager of the upper department, you know what he said- I can hear this disturbing noise of the echo, but I can not do anything as our policy is to do what our computer test are giving, our computer test declared your phone is working good as per manufacturer’s specifications, so please use your phone as it is…

Can you imagine that???

I have learned one thing- nowadays all the phone are practical identical, our human eye hardly will see the difference- photos/speed etc. What you are really buying is the company you will deal with later. What you will do if your phone got broke??? Samsung has the WORST customer service from them all, you can find tons of people like me on the net, Samsung will replace 99% of your phone hardware but will never replace you with a new phone.

Usually I am not writing reviews, but this case got me supermad, I have spend about 1400$ for the phone and wirelescharger and I keep it in my drawer now. I was huge fan of the Samsung, as I have many appliances în my house from Samsung, but this phone was the last one for sure. I remained loyal even after they were blowing batteries în people's hands with the Note 7 and I believed in them and I bought this S8+, but I regret so much.

Do not make my mistake. There are so many good phones like Iphone, Google Phone etc. with a great customer service- just ask your friends.

Echo on Pie

Hello!

I tried lowering the same values you did, but unfortunately I still have the echo on android Pie.

I was hoping you could share your mixer_gains if you are also on Pie, or maybe share the keys that you changed specifically for the echo issue.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Its not just pie and its not just exynos. My nougat snapdragon does this as well. I have a feeling its something in the noise cancelling microphone. Mine hasnt done it in some time now. But it was so bad. No one could hear me. So i had to either use speaker phone or my watch. Only thing thats really changed is my back is off my device. And a dual speaker mod
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jeti93:
I agree that it's the microphone's fault, or probably rather a rubber insulation is damaged, so the phone transfers the vibrations from the speaker to the 2nd microphone.

That's why I'm trying to turn off the 2nd microphone with mixer gains, so that it can't pick up the vibrations.

I read on older mobile's forums, that when they had the same problem, turning off noise cancellation in the contacts menu helped them. Unfortunately that option is no longer available, I even made ar equest on samsung developer's forum, but of course they didn't do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
I agree with this. 100% of the way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pizzaguy:
This is pissing me off. I was trying to change the icon for a program on SPB Pocket Plus 4, so i found the icon, when i hit select, a window opened that was blank, and the phone froze. I soft reset, but when it came on. It had basically hard reset its self. All of my settings where gone, but my programs where still there. So normally i could just re-input my settings - not too bad, just takes time but things like the today screen wont work. The programs are still there but none of them show up in the today plugin list. Also a program called Internet Sharing was installed and a couple icons in the program list where changed...

Any idea what happend and/or how to fix it before i just hard reset it and reinstall everything.
[LG Watch Sport] okgnew:
Hi guys, what software version you have on your LG Watch Sport?

I have:

Wear: 2.0.0.154764778

Android: 7.1.1

Patch level: 5 December 2016

Build: NQF43E

And I do not see any OTA updates :(

What is your version?

If there is a newer build available - can I update manually or force OTA?
[LG Watch Sport] stag74:
Yes the same, although I have updated quite a few system apps that have altered the interface, for example the alarm clock interface is now totally different, originally it was like my Sony Smartwatch 3.
[LG Watch Sport] LOulOo:
the same here
[LG Watch Sport] okgnew:
Thanks for confirming.

Strange that LG/Google are not pushing any security updates.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Zdog291:
A few quick questions for somebody who already has the Moto z play.

Does this phone have wireless display screen mirroring in the stock room? You can check by going settings -> display -> cast and then there should be three dots in the top right you can expand to check and enable casting via wireless display.

Secondly can someone in the U. S. Check if fire emblem heroes is available on the play store for this phone?

Thanks guys
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] timster01:
If you mean Miracast, it's not an option from stock, I assume this is because Motorola wants people to buy the projector mod. You can enable Miracast, but you'll have to root your phone first so you can edit build.prop.

I was able to install Fire Emblem Heroes in Canada.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] RockinAmigo14:
located in the US

no dots in the cast menu. as [MENTION=8058776]timster01[/MENTION] said, Miracast is not an option. you'll need either a Chromecast or to root to enable Miracast.

I've been running FEH flawlessly. great game.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] shantusingh:
man chromecast is blazing fast something so so rocking hardware! Buy it blindly!! I bought it very cheap hardly used like new one, and its rock solid!! . My expensive and not much expensive smart led TVs(1 panasonic and other sony) have miracast and it sucks like hell, takes life to connect then plays and stutters even on a rapid fast internet connection that I have, its only and only miracast to blame! "mark my words". Chromecast connects 100% always immediately and all apps icon shows so nicely first then video starts. I keep watching videos and movies, its super awesome!!!!! In miracast you only can mirror your phone. In chromecast you start the video and it keeps playing on your tv, and do whatever you want on your phone, make calls or anything! All still will be super smooth. Never disconnected even on 1 bar wifi connection on my phone, something great within that chromecast that takes care of it or whatever. That's why its good all apps are also pushing towards the chromecast "cast" icon. You will notice when you install any video watching good reputed apps now, they will show a pop up to show that you can cast them. Its not about the projector mod at all. First its really about chromecast, as it shows in the wireless display section as well, without root, without changing commands and without the three dots in the top right. Being all google stockish that's why.

Moto Z Play perfectly made for and is definitely meant for chromecast!
[General Questions and Answers] Zaparl:
Hi!

I have a Nubia Z7 mini dual SIM. SIM1 is for personal use and SIM2 for work. I started using SIM2 a few days ago because I also started my own business but problems began when I realized that when I added the first work contact I didn't have a separate contact list and worst thing is that once added, that contact appeared in my whatsapp contact list (obvious) which meant that he was able to know my personal phone number; a situation that we could agree was not ideal.

So, I guess that the solution would be to have two sets of contacts, and each one tied to one SIM card. Personal contact list linked to SIM1 and work contact list linked to SIM2. I would add the work contacts in its list linked to SIM2 and that way it wouldn't appear in my personal whatsapp.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!
