[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jgermuga:
Unfortunately, this is probably true but if you check the specs on the Qulacomm chip, it purportedly has support for common Windows video formats as well, that should play under Windows Media Player such as the AVI files that my cheapo camera records. If you do contact them this is probaby enough information on the video aspect that we need to supply (AVI files on WMP). In fact, I'll have to dig up my camera encode specs as this is very telling. I am sure the chip in my camera has no where near the horpower of the Kaiser chip. In addition, it cost less than $200.

As for the ROM, I would guess they might question this as well. Although it is not a likely culpret, it does make their support job a lot more difficult and I could see where they might take the easy road and dismiss the issue as user created. However, in my case I installed a ROM that is actually closer to the HTC shipped ROM. So if they tested their ROM, and the hardware differences are minimal (I think the front side camera is the only real difference), the possibilty that the issue is related to the updated ROM is pretty slim.

At any rate, I think there is plenty of evidence that both the stock shipped HTC ROM and the stock sipped AT&T ROM have this issue. There have also been plenty of complaints coming from the other side of the pond, so if ALL ROM appear to show this problem, it is a moot point, no?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] undac:
In your eyes, yes.

In the techie kind of guys eyes, yes.

In HTCs eyes, no.

In the eys of the casual observer, no.

It's not ourselves we have to convince, it's HTC. And we can only do that by playing their game. No matter how silly and cumbersome you think it is.

HTC doesn't have to and shouldn't have to support a modified ROM no matter how good the user thinks it is.

Nor can they be responsible for third party software unless it's very obvious that the third party software works great on all but their products. (Which in turn makes it easier to just skip the third party step and give HTC input based on their pre-loaded software.)

As I said, I'm not saying your opinion about the sillyness of it all is wrong or unjustified. I'm just saying it's contra productive to the cause.

Even though HTC has many reports, seen petitions, the looming threat of a lawsuit etc. the holy grail of any company such as this is till support tickets. Once their systems is swamped with tickets containing the same problem enough times that's when they start acting.

I know this because:

a) I worked tech support for similair companies when I was younger.

b) I've handled numerous cases like these before. And I used to try your approach, it simply never works.

c) I worked as an editor and I've interviewed several support managers and such.

There's no point in acting based upon how you want things to work. If a result is what you need, rather than just to blow off steam, you need to work the system and play by their rules.

Again, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I just strongly advice against it as I think it would do more harm than good here.

well i passed along the story to engadget so we'll see what happens there. i emailed them a link to the first article out of reghardware.co.uk so we'll see if they pick up the story. i also send them a short description of the problem and told them to check out our forums for more on the story.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chainfire:
I think you are misunderstanding him. What he is saying ultimately comes down to that big companies in general only take action on issues with many support tickets. Unfortunately, that is how it works, and it has to do with how large companies are set up and configured into many departments and management groups.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] undac:
Lol, if you actually followed me you would see that I've done quite some work to get these drivers out there.

I've helped with input to htcclassaction.org, I created this page:

http://www.htcwiki.com/page/HTC+TyTN+II+Video+Issues

I helped htcdriver.com clean up their language from grammar and spelling mistakes.

I created a template for people who wanted to contact support about the issue. I created a template for people who want to contact media about this.

Personally I'm kind of offended by your accusations.

You obviously don't comprehend what I'm trying to tell you.

All I'm saying is that if you really want the drivers you need to do more than just fire off an e-mail saying "OMG!!! I need drivers for my TyTN II to run games and videos in HD rez! I have this cool haxxored ROM but that didn't help"

(Ok so I'm exaggerating, A LOT, here ;)

I'm trying to help out by telling you how to maximize the effect of your complaints seeing as I am very confident that your recommended course of action would rather minimize it.

Clear enough?

[GiONEE Elife E7] isitan:
E7 is a good phone but 2500 mAH battery is not enough anymore. I want to upgrade E7's original battery with E7L's battery which is 3000mAH. Voltage and specs fit but I have concerns about the size fit.

I have no idea about the E7 battery size but E7L battery size is 73 x 64 x 4 (mm)

If anyone knows the original E7 battery size please let me know.
[GiONEE Elife E7] lordmata:
Thinking about this as well, but in my case I have issues with battery, that it shuts down at around 70% and shows 0% after that. Hoping that it's a battery issues, not a phone issue since a lot of people complain about this.

Have you tried this battery out yet? Since I'm gonna buy one thinking of buying this one then.

EDIT:

Size of the Elife E7 battery is supposedly 73.81 x 54.15 x 4.34 mm according to Amazon, so this 3000mAH is a bit larger, not sure if our elife e7 has space for it but by looking at the disassembly videos I'm thinking that the 3000mAH just can't fit in the casing

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Entrail:
Hey guys,

since i got my S7 I often had some faulty inputs because of my palm. I checked out a S7 Edge from a friend and that device was way better at recognizing unintentional taps on the screen by my palm. The same friend just got an S8 and i also checked out the palm recognition and was pretty amazed by it because it works quite good. Is there any way to bring this to my S7 by either modifying the stock rom or installing a custom rom?

The only workaround i found on the web was using a case which I ended up doing. But in fact I would definitely prefer using it without a Case because I don't like putting a good designed phone in a plastic/tpu case.

I think my phone might be faulty lol....Hope you folks can shed some light on how to improve battery life...

Snapdragon variant

AOD on

Infinity wallpaper on

Wifi and bt scanning off

BT off

Keep screen off setting off

No SHealth

Location history off

ForceDoze installed

Wifi/4g 50:50. 4g signal is quite weak at work though.

Wiped cache partition once after an OTA update.

Reset all app preferences oncr so I can keep an eye out for the access granted.

Auto brightness on

NFC on

Edge lighting on

No FB app, only use the wrapper Swipe with 2 hr update interval

WhatsApp, WeChat, Twitter installed

Adblocker for Samsung internet installed

FHD+

Outlook with 3 email accounts with sync and push on

Google Feeds off

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
My AT&T S-835 S8+ got excellent battery life - better than my S7e configured

exactly

the same way. I got a UK Exynos yesterday so I'll be able to compare how the two perform against each other. Most battery issues aren't h/w but user induced by s/w. Conflicting apps, things like Bixby remappers, and using older apps can cause battery drain. So can freezing and disabling some of Samsung's apps because they're co-dependent.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] st0nez0r:
I get 48 hours with 5 hours of on screen time on a single charge.

Of course, I took a few steps to achieve this instead of sticking with out of the box settings.

I turned off AOD

I turned the screen brightness down to just half way.

Greenify - works just as well without root

Use Samsung's built-in management of apps, and shut off some background apps

I did purchase BK Package Disabler, for $1.50 USD it was well worth the price of admission. I don't use things like facebook - I disabled facebook, and any other bloatware apps I don't need.

Under accounts I disabled some google syncing like google fit or google calendar - I don't use those so stopping that is just one less running process in the background.

As with anything else, YMMV, but for me, this was pretty much all that was needed without hamstringing my phone. The important things like Gmail, weather, messaging all work normally

I got poor battery life at first too, but then I read in another thread that if you used Smart Switch during initial setup to automatically install apps, that could be the culprit. I did a factory reset and manually installed my apps the 2nd time around and BAM! Awesome battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dragon57:
I used Smart Switch on my setup and don't have battery life issues, as I stated above, so I'm not sure if Smart Switch is the actual culprit. Like others, I think the root cause boils down to a personal mix of apps, app settings, and possibly bringing over old app settings via manual copying or via Smart switch. At this point, I think a number of us are just shooting in the dark as to the root cause. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] russ18uk:
Should start a poll which S8 version you have if you have poor battery life. Maybe there's a correlation?

For the record, I'm in the good camp: over 6 hours SOT, last charged about 30 hours ago, and sitting at 38%.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tuk1maar:
Batterylife on full brightness is on par with other phones such as the iPhone 7 Plus when used at 30-40% brightness. I'd say that the S8 has great battery life! It performs slightly better than my previous phone, the S7 Edge.

Both my S8 and S7 Edge are Exynos models. I attached screenshots of what I sometimes get for batterylife. It varies a lot depending on the severity of my snapchat addiction. I commute in total about 3-4 hours a day (~1 hour by bus, 2.5 hours by train). When I'm on the go or at work, I'm on 4G+. When I'm at home or at university I always use WiFi. While traveling daily from home to University and back, I always listen to Spotify (pre-downloaded, NOT STREAMED) and I read the entire journey (3-4 public transit trip) manga/webtoons (mainly white + colors) or I read PDF's/view powerpoints + social media.

On top of all that, I am a heavy snapchat user. On average, I'd say I use snapchat for about 30-60min a day. I get about 5-8H SOT on average over a full day on automatic brightness. AOD is turned off, the rest is UNTOUCHED. Bluetooth is on as I have it paired with my Huawei Watch. Location is at high precision (simply untouched setting). Nothing disabled either.

From my previous experience with the S7 Edge, when using a stock rom....disabling apps usually result in worse battery life hence I don't disable apps anymore. Also, I never close out used apps.

Keep in mind:

The mAh indication at the screen on time screenshot indicates how high the display brightness has been. Mine is well above 1600mAh at merely 8H sot. This indicates a relative high brightness used. If I were to use a lower brightness while the display remains at 1600mAh consumed, my phone would have been able to achieve many hours more SOT. Do keep in mind that lowering brightness does not improve battery-life much on OLED-equipped smartphones.
