If the s8/s8+ are already waterproof as I've used them underwater with no issue. How come someone would buy a waterproof case? Seems like wearing galoshes over rainboots.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] zimgir124:
For me personally it's like double protection.

If the phone has a manufacturer defect with the seal then the case will make it so I don't have a 800 dollar paper weight.

I also doubt a lot of people like putting the phone in water even thiugh its water resistant.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] sanjsrik:
The unboxing video was underwater with sharks. I'm not worried. Warranty is good.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] zimgir124:
However if something does happen from water exposure warranty doesn't cover it.

This Limited Warranty does not cover: (a) defects or damage
resulting from accident, misuse, abnormal use, abnormal
conditions, improper storage,
[B]exposure to liquid, moisture, dampness[/B],
sand or dirt, neglect, or unusual physical, electrical or electromechanical stress.

It's water resistant but I'd personally rather not risk it.

I feel it's safer just to get a water resistant case.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] yope05:
waterproof? oh come on.. do you know what water resistant means vs water proof?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] ShrekOpher:
The life proof case looked cool but it's super expensive at $80.

If anyone gets one though I'd love to get a legit review of it as a daily driver.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
They said the same thing last year with Lil Jon pouring champagne over the S7Edge and they unboxed it under water. Guess what? People still got moisture damage and Samsung did not honor the warranty. They are not water PROOF.

I got one from amazon for 49.00 because of a pricing mistake.

Only downside is that its estimated to ship out July 26th...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] mdiaz33685:
a friend of mine, has the s7 edge, the first day he got it, he went to the beach, and the next day the phone didn't want to charge and died out,

I told him that the phone isn't waterproof, it is water resistance... but it is not covered under warranty... I looked it up and I believe it was on page 2 in small letters in the booklet that nobody reads... SAMSUNG DOESN'T COVER WATER DAMAGE...

he had the tmobile insurance, but they changed it out took a few days because they didn't have any in stock, about 3 weeks later, he went to the beach again, and in the morning went to charge the phone and it didn't want to charge, and start loosing display... then it died again, and he called tmobile, ... the 1st thing they said was if he went with the phone into water, I told him to say no,, and then he asked isn't it waterproof,... they didn't reply... but swapped it out for $5... and had to wait a few days again, cause they didn't have any refurbished phones...

months later he went to a pool and didn't have any issues...

same thing with apple... it states it not under warranty for water damage...

just my 2 cents... I don't wanna risk my new phone for a refurbished phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] ShrekOpher:
The phone is not covered for water damage. That is true, but if you look at the water tests for life proof case most do not help any more than the current phone does.

If you really want to swim with the device to get a joto water proof bag from Amazon for $9. Is WAY better at making your phone water proof could last week's under water without any issues. I've seen them found on the bottom of rivers 3 months after it was lost and the phone still worked great as long as it was in the joto bag.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] LeoT1324:
I bought another one for the Uviyo Galaxy s8+ plus Waterproof case which costs 50% less and also a waterproof and made from a metal frame. Don't know if it's better or not, the time will show.

[General Questions and Answers] Zankard:
I'm trying to find something that will allow me to have my device automatically toggle the "sensitive notification" setting (Notifications>When device is locked>Hide sensitive/Show all) based on the wifi network being used (or its MAC address).

A similar Xposed module would be "No Lock Home" which toggles lock protection for the device based on MAC addresses. Is there anything similar for this case?

I have already tried several tasker-like apps, but I couldn't find anything about the specific setting. Anyone knows of any such apps that have this functionality?

Hello folks,

I got my OP5 today, damn is this a sexy phone!

I've set up everything like I want it but there is something annoying I faced..

Every time I lock the screen (aka, turn screen OFF, push power button or via button gesture) the phone vibrates 4 times in a very short pattern.

What is this? Where can I disable it? I can handle a slight vibrate when unlocking, but I don't unterstand it when I lock the phone.

Thanks for your help!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] EuEra:
Just googled and found this it's so annoying! It doesn't do it on silent mode only ring and do not disturb.

Oneplus please fix it, and while you are at it turn allow us to turn off the double tap to wake and fingerprint sensor vibration if we so wish. Sick of my phone vibrating when its in my hand because my palm touches the fingerprint sensor.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxss4:
hey guys,

My brothers unrooted at&t s6 edge+ (SM-G928A) entered an infinite bootloop on at&t's crappy software. We live in europe, so we can't get a replacement or get it fixed, even thought it's still eligible for warranty :(

I read somewhere it isn't possible to install samsung's software or any other rom made for the unlocked s6 edge+ on this device.

Is this true?

If yes, why? The hardware should be exactly the same (except for some bands missing), right?

In the past I have flashed stock firmware on various samsung phones bloated by carriers, so I don't get why it wouldn't be possible now.

Thanks in advance.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] MorenK1:
Do you think we will ever have either offical or unoffical support for the Galileo positioning system?

The chipset is listed as compatible on the EU website and qualcomm stated that they would only need a firmware upèdate, but from what I understood ther is no official support from OnePlus to get the system activated on the 3T, but like with DayDream and Bluetooth AptX we might do it unofficially

Do you think it's possible? Do you think it's viable?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pupsidze:
Hello,

I am trying to build a kernel for Wileyfox Swift (crackling) and the final result is not working - the phone does not boot. Here is what I did:

Kernel source - https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_cyanogen_msm8916

Toolchain - https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/

First I applied Binderfilter patches to make its code part of the kernel. Next, I applied the config: make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=/path-to-toolchain/... lineageos_crackling_defconfig After this I edited .config and changed CONFIG_BUILD_ARM64_APPENDED_DTB_IMAGE to =y and launched the compilation:

make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=/path-to-toolchain/... -j4

The compilation completed successfully and I got three files in the boot folder - Image, Image.gz and Image.gz-dtb

Then I made a copy of boot.img on my phone by doing the following in the terminal dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot' > boot.img

Then I copied boot.img to my Ubuntu machine, downloaded this utility https://github.com/meefik/binary-tools-android.git and did the following:

./unmkbootimg boot.img - unpacked my boot.img and then replaced zImage with my Image.gz-dtb retaining the original 'zImage' name. After that I assembled the boot.img with a new kernel and flashed it to my phone via TWRP.

The problem is the phone does not boot, I only get a boot logo and this is it. This is some progress since before the phone immediately went into fastboot mode.

I tried different toolchains, different methods to assemble boot.img, tried to use Image or Image.gz instead of Image.gz-dtb - does not help. I also tried to make zImage - got no task to make zImage.

Any help how to get it working would be appreciated. Thanks

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] chaojimbo:
Hey all, I've spent my entire night trying to get root on my new OnePlus 5 so that I can transfer all of my data from my Nexus 6p over through TitaniumBackup, but for some reason I am having weird issues.

I've followed Funk Wizard's guide on unlocking the bootloader and getting a custom recovery to root, but that's when weird things began to happen. I flawlessly was able to get TWRP running the first time through since it was similar setup to how I got everything working on my Nexus 6p. Once I tried booting back into the ROM though after flashing Magisk, the boot failed and rebooted back into recovery. This kept happening no matter what I tried to do. TWRP also was failing to flash the full Oxygen OS zips as well. I tried flashing stock recovery over TWRP to see if that would let me flash the zip, but then it stuck me back in TWRP afterwards despite overwriting it. I updated the TWRP to the "last latest build" which allowed me to flash the zip and boot back into my ROM successfully. However, then I tried going back into the recovery, it defaulted to the stock one again rather than the TWRP I had before. I reflashed TWRP but it keeps getting the stock OnePlus 5 recovery consistently. I am unsure of what to do. :\ I have to switch back to my old battery-failing phone for the time being. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Drivers work; manually forced the ADB driver for fastboot. Device just OTA'd to 4.5.3 a few moments ago; I am still getting the same issue. I also tried the latest TWRP but it still achieved no results whatsoever. All of my flashing is done through fastboot.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Lightoning:
Hi I red your problem tho I am new here I successfuly rooted my OnePlus 5.

I think that the problem is either not using proper rooting zip's or bad drivers so I will tell you how I rooted mine.

I reccomend using this tool so you will be sure 100% that you have the ADB, Fastboot and necessary Drivers.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Those are the files that I used(The Magisk zip file and the recovery):

https://mega.nz/#!AA8FGLZR!63Q4HGrAoIlNlwR_NVj8Rbq4RKoPKaEnHLtHuEW3o94

I do not remember from where I downloaded them, neither I can find them from my messy history cuz I searched a lot for them around the internet, so I upload them for you!

Magisk link:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589

So basically I went to my phone's settings unlocked Developer options by spamming the build number so I can get there and enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging. After that I rebooted my phone into fastboot mode like I just normally turned it off and hold the power button and VOL+ key. after that I connected my OnePlus to the PC using the DASH cable. You should download beforehand the TRWP and latest Magisk.zip so you can root it using Magisk I have not tried using SuperSU. So you basucally flash the TWRP using the "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-oneplus5.img" command in my case and you transfer the Magisk Manager and zip file on the phone later so you can root. Then you just flash Magisk's latest zip file or use mine. I do not remember if I manually installed the Magisk Manager APK file tho I have it downloaded on my PC gonna zip them real quick with the recovery and uploade them. :)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] bus_ter:
'Clearer Photos' - written on the side of the box. The biggest hype surrounding the OnePlus 5 has been about the camera. On paper the specs look great, 'benchmark' photos and scores look good too. But in real world usage it's a big Fail. This is why..

All else being equal, more mega pixels means lower quality images. This may be a surprise to some. This is the reason. More pixels on a sensor means each pixel is smaller. Which means over the same time period less light is recorded on each pixel. To solve this problem there are two solutions. 1) Hold the shutter open longer to capture more light. Longer shutter times causes blurring and softness if any movement is present. 2) Increase the amplification from the sensor (ISO). This causes noise and degrades the image. The result is lower quality photos.

So why have a high Megapixel count? Resolution. In the early days of digital photography the low resolution from cameras was a limiting factor and you could easily see the pixels if you zoomed in. 1.3MP for example is 1280x1200 pixels. That's not going to look great on a high resolution screen or blown up. So what about the 20MP sensor in the OnePlus 5? Well that's 3'600x5'400 pixels! This is only useful if you're printing images out in a large poster size. With the tiny sensors in a mobile phone you'll only be able to produce good quality images at this resolution if there's tons of light and the scene is still.

Here's a newsflash for OnePlus: We don't use our mobile phones to take photos of trees in the sun (unless you're a phone reviewer). We use our phones to take photos of family, friends, pets, activities, often inside or at night and other low light scenarios and we post them on Facebook and Instagram.

We need in focus, non blurred, 'Clearer' photos that will mostly be viewed on other phones. This translates to phones with good low light performance with fast auto-focus. We don't need or want 20MP degrading that quality. We also need a better auto-focus system. Have a look at the last couple generations of the Samsung Galaxy to see how it should be done.

This is why the OnePlus 5 camera fails in real life usage and is a disappointment. Please listen OnePlus. Look at what the other manufacturers are doing and get it right on the OnePlus 6.

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] haitower:
Perfect summary of whats going on. Only god knows what was going on in OP's marketeers. "Clearer photos" my ***!

I am so much disappoint! :(

Edit: The sad thing is that I even think (then again, I'm an idiot..) their strategy can make sense. Yes, they could have put ONE sensor in there that yields better results than the current setup. But having TWO cameras is the new trend and, thus, is way easier to market. Even the new Samsung Note will feature two sensors. So OP had to choose between a better camera and less revenue or a worse camera and more revenue.

Unfortunately they picked the latter.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] casual_kikoo:
How many threads are going to be create just to talk about camera ?

As already said in others threads, people expected a perfect DSLR with 40Mpx and a perfect night quality image. Come on are you serious ? This is marketing people, wake up, think with your brain sometime please.

I did not even read OP, such a waste of time to see an other person complaining about the camera.

We know what your are going to do next. RMA and send back the phone. Nice, change phone if you are not happy, but stop pollute this forum with one nth useless thread. Thanks.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BorisDeviant:
Ok, creating an other topic was maybe useless but... The fact is that at the moment, the camera is very disappointing, to say the least. Especially when the device was marketed as the new camera standard, "clearer photos" etc.

I think nobody was expecting a DSLR camera, but maybe more than the overly washed, grainy or over saturated and sharpened shots that it actually produces. C'mon, I upgraded from an old Nexus 5 and expected a dramatic improvement in the camera quality. I am delighted to say this is not the case.

The big question now is : will these issues be software fixable ?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] casual_kikoo:
If I'm good, each iteration of OnePlus device get a better camera with software update.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BorisDeviant:
You are probably right but there are things you can accept when you pay 300$ that you can not accept anymore when you pay 550$. Rising the price also means raising the expectations.

Please will people stop making random rant posts and freaking out?!

My OP5 has replaced my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge which unfortunately was dropped and shattered the front glass. It's expensive/difficult to replace the glass on these so I treated myself to a new phone. So this is what I Love and Hate about my new OnePlus 5!

Love

The Snapdraggon 835 -The phone is Fast and bang up to date in connectivity support.

Fast storage and lots of memory- More Speed

No bloatware and streamlined Android -Contributes to the speed and simplicity.

The silent/DnD slider button -No more taking my phone out and turning the display on to switch it to silent! Fantastic.

Fast responsive finger print unlocking.

Solid Home button -Sooner or later the push down home buttons on galaxies start to wear causing rocking, noises/rattles, missed clicks etc because of their frequent use. Hopefully nothing to wear out here.

The deep blacks and saturation from the AMOLED panel

3.5mm jack -Can still use my headphones without an adapter.

Battery -Amazing battery life and the DASH charge is great too.

USB C -So easy to plug in the charger in the dark now.

Gorilla Glass 5 -better drop resistance, the gorilla glass 4 on my Galaxy S7 drop failed :(

Glass on one side. Feels less premium in a way, but reduces the weight of the phone. This means less force when it falls and less chance of shattering the screen. However metal dents and scratches easily.

Hate

The Camera. So much hype and so much disappointment. Good on paper and for taking 'benchmark' photos. But very poor in real world phone usage. The S7 camera is WAY better. I'm so disappointed I gave it it's own thread.

Only 1080P screen. Also if the brightness is turned up I can see 'noise' on the display. Also get some weird distortions when scrolling. Viewing angle is good, but not excellent. Automatic brightness control is also hit and miss. The S7 was much better. A big downgrade on the S7 display in all areas.

Design is good. But it doesn't look as nice as say a galaxy S8

Having DRM issues, such as reduced quality Netlix streaming. I hope this gets sorted soon.

Sound is loud, but quality is average.

Not waterproof

No SD Card support. Who really wants two sim card holders? Make the other slot for an sdcard like Samsung.

Price. £450 is not a value bargain like the old versions. You can buy a Samsung S8 on Amazon for £550 now.

In a nutshell. It's a mid range phone in regards to features and design, but with high end performance. I don't think it's a bargain. I think the price is about right for what you get.
