[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jonesy4487:
Mine too

Hi this has happend to me aswell. Iv tried everything. Cleaning touchwiz data changing to different launcher then back deleting all themes and reinstalling them. I fear a factory reset is the only way as not tried this yet.iv since started to use nova launcher as I hated the orage badges and u can edit them with nova.anyone know of a fix for this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lord_of_lard:
yes, finally someone with a similar problem. are you in canada? maybe it's a canadian thing. did it also happen after you updated? i also switched to nova launcher cause i can't stand the orange badges.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jonesy4487:
I'm in the UK and yes it was once I updated to the may security patch.iv tried everything to fix it except factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lord_of_lard:
let me know if doing a factory reset works! hopefully it's not something that was intended. i don't know why they'd do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jonesy4487:
I'm quite happy with nova at the moment but I do prefer touchwiz I think il wait a few days first to see if anyone else finds this thread and finds a fix
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jonesy4487:
Anybody found a fix for this yet

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jonesy4487:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jonesy4487:
Didn't fix the problem.looks like have to stick with nova not sure what's happend but in theme store it still looks like it's meant to work and have diff colours depending on theme
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lord_of_lard:
i've had an update and did a factory reset and still the same hideous orange badge. so annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] wodzini:
this shows how many users really use touchwiz..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jonesy4487:
that's very true haha
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] GerMX:
Same happened to me after upgrading to Nougat. I live in Mexico.

I've had contact with some of the developers of bought themes and told me that this annoying orange only happens in S7.

Apparently on S6 and S8 works fine.

Some of them had reported the issue to Samsung. Let´s hope... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lord_of_lard:
how can you report the issues? i visited the samsung website and had a chat with a representative and they said it was intentional. but then you mentioned it's only happened on the s7 and it doesn't make sense that they would do that intentionally to the s7 and not the other galaxy phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] GerMX:
Initially I reported via Samsung Members and the final and "official" response was that some themes are not compatible yet with some features of Nougat (false, i installed the same theme on a S8 and works fine). As I said in my previous post, an external themes developer was who told me that only in S7 doesn't work this color personalization.

Regards!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lord_of_lard:
one of the devs for a theme i use told me to download version 6.1.02. of TouchWiz and it worked!!! this is the link i used.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Illux:
Hey there,

I know, lots of threads out there and many argue they have more or less issues with distortion. Now, I happened to have had a few lectures - or a few more - in Physics (Optics) back in college and I'm still a passionate photographer.

Here is the basics: All lenses have distortion. The light is redirected, that causes distortion. So what do you do? Easy, you create a lense profile that exactly fits the distortion pattern and corrects the incoming information. That is possible if the lens has a regular distortion pattern, e.g. if the cut of the lense is accurate.

How do you check that? Now, you need a little time, a tripod and a checkerboard pattern. You then put the lens you want to test STRAIGHT in front of the pattern and make sure the orientation EXACTLY fits the one of the checkerboard (linear distortion).

You take a picture.

Now you talk half of the picture (like the right side of your picture), mirror it and see if the mirrored part fits the original (ofc the left part in this case).

This is what I did. Here are the results.

[IMG="1"]http://imgur.com/3dJeVfq.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="2"]http://i.imgur.com/hsx2jd0.jpg[/IMG]

The Sony Xperia XZ Premium distortion issue is a lens issue. The mirrored pattern fits the original pattern exactly, the deviation is zero. Lenses are produced in ridiculously big batches, I doubt that there is even more than one producer. An unclean cut e.g. production waste causes non-linear distortions - but that is not the case here. I'd bet that non of you has distortion different from what I have found, it's about proper testing.

"But I can barely see it on normal pictures" - Yes, because that is how our human brain works. We understand optical patterns as logical and commonly don't see them. What we see is deviations. When tested empirically, 90% of all test participants cannot tell whether or not a picture has common lens distortion (e.g. differs from what you'd see in case u saw it with your own eyes).

So - Sony can handle this by patching an appropriate lense profile.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] tomo100brt:
My issue is the same. I am not a professional photographer but I know that this is a lenss issue. So you think Sony can patch this with software update?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Illux:
It can at least be corrected to a degree where one won't notice it anymore.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] chesterr:
So I hope Sony will admit this issue and release a software update? I think they're still not admitting this issue as an issue. :( :mad:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Artyomska:
They still have a lot to improve with the camera. While it's pretty good imo, the low light quality could be better, the minor distortion could be fixed (even if not completely, better than how it is now), the camera app can be improved a lot with new settings, the quality of 960fps videos can really be improved (I understand it's 720p, but here I am talking about the artifacts it has in anything but perfect light), and they should make Timeshift (that feature where it takes 60 pictures in 1 second) available already (my old Z always had it).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Needoxygen:
yes, sony staff still remain silent on this ,so bad,

Xzs the same problem has been two months, still silent
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] feskey:
Thanks for the super detailed professional explain here. And I agree with the above guys that Sony does not admit that there is a problem, has remained silent for a long time, that is weird.

and I used your photo to update the Sony Forum posts which they have deleted and restored,hope you don't mind.

hi [MENTION=3150496]Illux[/MENTION]

any idea for below ?

A little progress here

(I don't know this is progress for camera mode or not,but I think it's helpful to understand ,there really is a serious distortion)

On camera video mode (FHD60fps,FHD 30FPS ,HD),the distortion will disappear only when you switch SteadyShot on. turn it off the distortion will be appear obviously. As we know electronic stabilization need "sacrifice" some pixels to processing stabilization data,This is why switch SteadyShot on will cause the composition different. But I compared the video pixel and clarity between on and off,the difference is not particularly noticeable.So I guess there really have a good one distortion correction parameter for 1080P and 720P Pixels proportion, like a professional camera have for different lens which you can free to switch on and off, even adjust the distortion correction level.

On 4k video mode still have distortion no matter you turn on or off the SteadyShot. I think cause 4K mode using full pixel sampling and then compressed merge pixels,recorded all the distortion just like the camera mode use full pixels.

So is there a good distortion correction parameter for full pixels shooting ?

or already have one but not working like 1080P and 720P?

or the full pixels correction it is already the best we can get ?

And when you video shoot three-dimensional objects turn off SteadyShot move angles around , you will see the distortion make perspective increase serious bad.

Try turn it on , it's much much better just like a normal camera does ,still a little bit of deformation but that is totally in acceptable range.

Try video the person you familiar with , easily move around shoot by different angles and distances,you will not see the SUPER body parts distortion which in the camera mode.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Illux:
First of all, interesting findings. Didn't occur to me to try that out. Nice idea. It's not only some, it's important progress

Well, I did a very short research on SteadyShot, seems they crop the picture and use the sensor as multi-grid, meaning as long as one part of the sensor captures an equivalent image to the one before, you get a steady video.

That means there is countless(!) sub-lens profiles somewhere that manage to produce corrected images if only a part of the sensor is in use - but not a single one that works for the entire sensor. Wtf.

I'm puzzled.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] feskey:
OK ,Now sony developer said this is normal , and decided to respond for fix this issue, I am considering to return refund.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
Wow this is interesting. I just ordered this phone.. Starting to regret it now
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] schickel:
Take a look at this post:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2017/06/2...d&utm_campaign=Feed:+XperiaBlog+(Xperia+Blog)

There are some interesting explainations about this.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] chesterr:
I am really disappointed that they're saying it's normal. C'mon you can clearly see the distortion and they advertise it as anti-distortion when you take fast moving subjects!

Sony mobile is so bad at camera algorithms, It's been years and years and yet they fail to deliver decent phone with less issues. I am gonna get the phone as well just because of the design and software, Camera I will hardly be using. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] YUYYY:
Compared with your distortion map as follows:

see this sony official dancing woman's photos (above photo)from XZP you can find in your phone,The distortion has been already there very serious, just that wall have bad workmanship make you think it is.Do a anti color you will see the serious distortion just absolutely same as XZP distortion map below .

[IMG="https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7a390bb89f8eb7813febc8b41b3cf451cb812ad6edacb75b9ac7ac97afc732ae.jpg"]https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7a390bb89f8eb7813febc8b41b3cf451cb812ad6edacb75b9ac7ac97afc732ae.jpg[/IMG]

look at the merger photo here you will see the coincide curve line.You know what is the most coincidence part that this little woman's head and body just inside the blue box area where have less distortion.XZP review online they all took photo from long distant landscape,no close-range or people so we can see the issue very coincidental .S PHONE and IPHONE review usually have close range shoot and close portrait.

See this official photos.Whether use any angle to shoot these light bulbs should be regular spherical,rgiht ?! But the one closest to the yellow safe area has been distort absolutely serious already.I'm not saying that wide angle don't have distortion, But this level ..........!This is definitely not a photographer and perspective problem.Also the "curve line" certainly affected distortion.

Now the light bulb photo and map explained why my photo will be seriously deformed ,and also explained that no matter what angle and composition I try I can't get one normal photo .Explained that why I use a 4:3 scale will have even more elongate head,also more and more in single person photo like below. (borrow from other user) Exactly same issue like my traveler's photos,which they Complained about.

This is not an ordinary perspective and wide-angle problem or what ever industry standards is.More like a failed lens design ,what is the point to use the lens like that ? Mobile phone camera should be to allow users to take pictures more easily than professional camera.Most users will not use the phone to shoot master style landscape photos. Most of them are normal shooting for ordinary live photo.If this phone designed for some landscape and flowers which are random shape please put it in the ad and packaging.Also even the landscape you can see the distortion easily than other phone.

My old note5 and the new S8 I tried ,Safe area it is roughly in green box see above photo.

I see the user here said that if cut some pixels may be able to get less distortion.If so, I would agree and accept too.And also like Samsung make a late correct option on software would be grateful.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] BBEN66:
Ok guys, let me Pop in here. My XZP has also this issue (Europe, 7.1.1). Compared quick and dirty with My other devices: Lumia 950XL has a better geometry in the upper half Image with almost no distortion, lower half is convexed. Dunno why. The worst Image, even worse than the Sony, gives me My Samsung S7 Edge, really wavy geometry all over the Image. Best Output Comes from My iPhone 7Plus, with almost no distortions. Posted Image is cropped from the S7 Edge Output.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] feskey:
Samsung have a Shape Correction option in camrea ,did you turn it on ? If your turn it on the output image will do a auto correction make it perfect. And S7e's distortion only at the side which is pincushion distortion, not like XZP it is really all over the image which is pincushion distortion + barrel distortion

Hey there,

Whats a good application that utilizes the GPS when my ATT Tilt is missing or stolen?

For ex, if someone steals my phone, I want to be able to find out where it is via GPS (through SMS)?

Anyone have any recommendations based on what they have used (or use now)?

It would be nice if this software had an option to manually send GPS coordinates via SMS.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cincy1020:
Hi:

I use WIMP (Where Is My Phone).

I have found it to be the best. There is another option from Carty, but they charge extra for the GPS feature and other features cost extra too.

With WIMP, it will send you the person's new phone number if the SIM is changed, you can also send a secret text message to your phone, which will then text you back the phone's GPS coordinates. WIMP does include the GPS option in the purchase price etc...

[AT&T LG G4] Satyam171:
My LG G4 AT&T switched itself off yesterday suddenly , after that it turned back on normally. But after some time it happened again and when I try to switch it back on it tries to boot but after LG logo , sometimes at LG logo it gets heated up and gets turned off. It gets heated up near camera area, I reset my phone . Last night I left my phone charging and today it turned back on for some time. When I turned it off to insert sim and memory card , it didn't get turned on. As it is an emergency and currently I cant get my phone to any shop , can anyone suggest me a way to fix this , given my zero experience with hardware and some with software. Sorry if my english is bad . Thanks .
[AT&T LG G4] hyelton:
It's either battery or hardware failure. Hate to give bad news but hardware failure with the G4 is extremely common. Only fix is a board replacement. Others have been able to temp revive them by placing them in an oven etc but that's not recommended.
[AT&T LG G4] Satyam171:
First of all thanks , I was freaking out . So what would have you done if it would have happened to you? Given I can't take this phone to a repair shop , as I fried up my second LG G4 , first one was Verizon ( Leave that part ) and my parents are gonna kill me when they find out . So should I even bother buying another battery and try inserting it into my phone and check ? or it will not be helpful ? What should I do ?

Did I say thanks ?
[AT&T LG G4] hyelton:
Your very welcome. You could try another battery. But if you just Google LG G4 bootloop you'll see it's a huge issue LG will warranty it as long as there's no damage.
[AT&T LG G4] Satyam171:
I bought it off some ebay seller , so I guess there's no warranty for it . I live in India and its an imported version and there's no AT&T service centers here and neither LG Service centers will lay their hands on it . So if its the case with hardware failure , I guess I should buy a board and get it replaced . I think first I am going to try replacing battery , if it works out then great else I guess I will be in huge problem . Appreciate the help.! :)

[Samsung Gear S3] fred2546:
I have the wifi/bluetooth model. I have not noticed it being hot. I have taken it directly off the charger and put it on my wrist. Admitted most times that is after it has charged overnight and probably been fully charged for hours - so not actively being pumped up with power. But even on the occasions where I've been charging, like right after a shower and put it on, I have not noticed any heat.

You are using the official charger and adapter?
