[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] KillerKirito:
Hi Guys

I've searched all over the internet and couldn't find an answer to this.. or maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F rooted device. Exynos Octa 8890 2.60 Ghz

Android 7 Nougat

Superstock kernel

The problem is that I cannot play Marvel contest of champions anymore. Whenever I launch the game then just after the marvel logo a white block pops up and says "ms_id_sparx_error_unknown"

This happens when I download from the playstore, apk from the internet and mod apk.

I'm not sure if it's my phone, the superstock kernel or just because my phone is rooted.

Before I flashed android 7 the game worked perfectly. But my phone was not rooted at the time.

I rooted using the steps and files from xda website.

Then unrooted my phone and rooted with magisk to play Pokemon Go.

I saw some guy said to allow all permissions in settings and move the game to the ad card, but that didn't work.

Can you guys please help me to fix this problem.

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

Recently my phone was updated to Android v7 and since then I noticed that the icons for the cursor in text boxes and system dialog boxes have got messed up.

I read on Android central, one user posted that uninstalling Kaspersky fixed the issue, although in my case I don't have Kaspersky, so I can't go about uninstalling all apps, got a hell lot of them!

It's frustrating everytime i see this... Please help me...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jivenene:
I think I'm having a similar issue... the cursor locator (below the cursor which points to it) is the wrong size. I tried changing resolutions, nothing fixed it. This also happens when text is selected by long pressing, the selector graphics are too large and it gets cut off. It was working fine when phone was new, I cannot remember at which point it started messing up. Possibly after Oculus VR first changed the screen resolution to WQHD? I set it back to FHD for normal use, but problem persists.

Pertinent Info:

G930f

G930FXXU1DQD7 BTU firmware

phone not rooted
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jivenene:
Maybe found a clue.... this problem seems to occur everywhere, except in a few apps, namely Signal and FB Messenger and FB itself. I thought it might be only in Gapps, but it happens in a few apps that are not part of Gapps. I have seen other people had issues with the little on/off sliders for options in different menu screens under setting, but mine all look fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mistaaah:
I have those glitches as well apart from what i posted.

I read online its because of some app messing things up. I seriously don't want to reset and start testing this out one app at a time. It will take at least a few days to get back up to speed.

Thanks :crying:

[Mate 8 General] vervester:
With the mate 10 on the horizon, will you stick with Huawei or a different brand. Could you get a similar spec with a budget Chinese phone like Xiaomi?
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Phablet category will be dead soon since all including mate 10 will go over too 18:9 aspect ratio which means a lot smaller screen area...
[Mate 8 General] vervester:
We are seeing some big players (Samsung, LG, Google) experimenting with 18:9 (2:1) but it will be down to the consumer i guess if these phones are as popular as previous other aspect ratio models.
[Mate 8 General] kaceps:
First of, I bought my mate 8 less than a year ago, and have no intention of changing it before 2/3 years. It would be a poor choice of a phone if I felt the need to change it every year.

But if by accident I HAD to change it, I think I would look toward the note note 8 rather than than the mate 10. The plus being stylus and waterproof. And since none of those are things are really must-have, I would most probably look for a cheaper large screen phone. Maybe another used mate 8 or mate 7. Or whatever good occasion I can find.

I mean, I can't really see what the mate 10 would do better.

Battery life ? Haven't seen any real gain for years.

Photo quality ? Some progress, but the mate 8 is more than enough for me.

Raw power ? I don't use it much. Mate 8 has more than enough for years to come.

VR ? It's still not good on a smartphone, mate 8 or otherwise..

What I'm trying ot say is that I'm satisfied by my mate 8. But the question is more "are recent phones bringing anything worth the change ?"

For a few years now, phones makers have been strugling to bring anything new of value to the table. Raw power and screen quality have reached a level where they are already beyond what you need for the use of a smartphone. There has been nothing new in battery for years. Photo quality can still get better, with better low light and/or zoom. But it's far from being enough to motivate a change. And soldity/reliability has been progressing very slowly.

Today, I think I could have a Mate 7 or a mate 10 and barely see the difference in everyday use. Both phone would be smooth, have pretty much the same software (with a few tweaks for the mate 7) same battery life, pretty much same internet speed ... one would take slightly better photo, and that's it.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Both mare 8 and 9 I one of the phones that have aged best. Pocketnow did a video about the 9 recently.

Mate 8 does not feel obsolete at all despite being from 2015
[Mate 8 General] SanHelios:
6 inch yes... mate/Huawei no.. :)
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
nice thread and perfect timing id say, kudos to rhe OP! :)

after the mate 8 (which i will most likely keep for another year at least, especially since there is nothing interesting on the market atm or in the near future, except maybe the xiaomi mi mix 2), i will not be able to go back to anything smaller than 6 inches. it is just so damn nice to have so much screen real estate! and ive gotten used to the size, everything smaller seems tiny in comparison, whereas my mate 8 just seems "normal" in size :D

i agree with above posters concerning the 2:1 screen ratio that is becoming more popular lately: the diagonal numbers seem to get larger (i.e. S8+ at 6.2 inches) but the actual screen area is actually identical to the mate 8 with 0.2 inches LESS diagonal screen size! so thats something to keep an eye out for when buying a new phone these days.

looking at the bezels of the mate 8 id say a phone with a 16:9 screen of around 6.4-6.5 inches and sporting razorthin bezels on all four sides would be absolutely perfect in screen/overall size and -to-body-ratio :)

in retrospect, my mate 8 experience so far (about 17 months ownership) has been quite pleasant! its a great phone, excellent battery life (10h sot on average with a range of 8-12h depending on usage intensity), super solid built (feels like a tank but still very graceful and sexy), awesome screen and lots of real estate on it and last, but not least, fluid stable software.

the only real gripe i have with it is that we are dependant on basically one or two major devs, namely kangvip and hrt team, thats it. otherwise we will be EOL once huawei stops publishing firmware upgrades.

nevertheless, i will keep an eye out for the mate 10 and see what it brings to the table :)
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
YOU BET

In 2010, I started with the Dell Streak 5. Oh the looks I got from people "THAT is your phone?" "What do you need

a screen THAT big". This was in the day that 3.5" was the NORMAL size or a smartphone.

Then, I went with the Samsung Galaxy Note1, then the Mate2, and now the Mate8.

I PREFER the larger screen, mostly because my eyesight isn't what it once was, and, because the larger screen

phones usually have larger batteries.

If they make one with smaller bezels, but not 100% bezel-less, with a 4,000mAH or larger battery, that is about or

a little thicker than the Mate2/8, I'll get one.
[Mate 8 General] James_Watson:
My mate 8 still works fine. :)
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
haha so true! i still remember when the streak came out, it looked HUGE to me :D nowadays its on the lower half of screen sizes, hahaha. how times change :)
[Mate 8 General] ScouserCL:
Totally agree with this
[Mate 8 General] /dev/null_dd:
i don't stick huawei.

i'll buy xiaomi if they release gooe one.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
yeah im curious about their upcoming mi mix 2, should be interesting :)
[Mate 8 General] ronnie72:
Speculations about Mate 10. :D

Kirin 970 chipset, 18:9 6-inch 2160x1080px screen, 3D sensing dual cameras.

http://www.gsmarena.com/due_in_the_...will_have_an_edgetoedge_screen-news-26022.php
[Mate 8 General] anwedr:
6"? Yes.

Huawei? No. The build and quality are fantastic. Though, EMUI still needs a lot of bug fixes.

I didn't realize people cared (so much) about aspect ratio over hardware and software.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
we dont ;) i just said its important to consider that with 18:9 screens we actually get less screen area than with 16:9 screens at identical inches.
[Mate 8 General] vervester:
I think the strategy behind 9:18 is that its different to what the last generation of phones have, it will look a bit different, so seem attractive. We have had super high res screens before for a while (LG G3 etc) but 9:18 is something new. Thing is we keep falling for it :-/

in a perfect world id like something with a similar sized screen to the mate 8, significantly lighter (feels a bit of a tank in the hand if I'm honest) excellent battery life ( 16 SOT) and a camera that could really produce stunning shots in all conditions. Ok, maybe a few years away with all that but the upgrades we now have are pretty marginal and I think the mobile phone companies are clutching at straws in terms of upgrade possibilities with todays technology.

Like most I'm in no rush to upgrade the Mate 8, if rumor is to be believed we will see Android O at some point but I wont hold my breath, having said that, Battery life has took a major hit since upgrading from marshmallow to Nougat.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
mmm yes and no. actually, its our own (the consumer`s) fault: samsung, LG and others did their market research including consumer questioning and the result was this: consumer wants bigger screens but without the hassle of a phone too wide to hold in one hand! solution? easy: make the screens longer but stick to the same width! thus we get 18:9 screens, voila ;)

nice benefit for the manufacturers / for marketing: diagonal size in inches increases by a LOT (i.e. friggin 6.2 inches diagonal on S8+) but screen real estate doesnt increase as much as with 16:9 screens! (again: mate 8 with 6.0 inch screen has same display area as S8+ with "bigger" 6.2 inch screen ;) )
[Mate 8 General] vervester:
That's a fair comment, and I can see why a narrower phone with similar screen size would appeal to some. Also I guess it's a bit more pocketable. Personally tho I like 16:9 but guess I wouldn't rule out something slightly easier in the pocket.

Xiaomi Chiron anyone?

https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/07/rumor-xiaomi-chiron-flagship-sport-6-inch-189-screen.html
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
18:9 is the new cancer that we have to live with.. People are stupid they think 6 inches with 18:9 is bigger then on 16:9 for instance..

screeb area is actually less with the same inch size on 18:9.

People still when talking about phone sizes mostly talk about "inches" but you need to know the aspect ratio now also..
[Mate 8 General] iamSHANTO:
Huawei phone really poor on GPU ... and region update is too much poor ... in there price tag u can get better phone .... but if u want smooth phone on Android devices ... Huawei is good choice ... I'm currently using Huawei mate 8 ... Huawei standby time is not good enough ... it's drains almost 2 % battery life in 1 hour ... that's sucks ...
[Mate 8 General] ronnie72:
Not drain at my phone. After update make you hard reset? For less drain i recommend stop Google Synchronisation, Google Location History and Scan settings in the same menu.

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crunchor:
I have updated my v10 to 7.0 and use cpuz to check how often the 2 cores are used. Most of the times those 2 cores are very inactive and look like the 4 small cores do almost all the jobs. The 2 cores should be the reasons for bootloops. What do you guys think?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sun_is_shinning:
for sure LG take the update to do something about it, the big cores is most used when you need more power like heavy gaming and etc, little cores is always used and this is the way they really need to work and god bless LG to do a great update to V10 since my battery life is way way better this way, better than MM for sure.

Dont bother if big cores dont be used as usual as little because is saving your battery (and maybe avoid bootloop's too).
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
Battery life is still utter crap for me on Nougat. Around 4 hour screen on time maximum. No difference at all from MM almost feel a little worse in my opionion. Yes I started over from scratch.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crunchor:
Is that it used to be the 2 big cores do the main job, then always so hot and then finally something broken?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crunchor:
I would say use the small 4 cores more would actually burn battery faster, but if almost not using the big troublesome 2 cores would push the bootloops from around 1 year to like...2 years may be!? That is great.

I've recently purchased some black glass screen protectors from CASEBASE.

Fitment is perfect no issues for me.

I do believe they are thinner than others or at least 1 of the thinnest.

They are £6.99 for 2 on ebay.

[OnePlus 5 Accessories] vimto25:
Wow that's terrible!

No peeling on this what so ever and it seems to fill the screen more than that 1.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] L22EEW:
I've never applied a tempered glass before. Easy enough?

I remember trying to apply a screen protector to my LG G2 once, such a nightmare, to avoid those little air bubbles.... lol.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] ChrisJ:
That looks pretty good. I've bought some to try. At £6.99 for two it is worth the risk.

Is there any overlap/loss of visible screen?

Mine is exactly the same with a slight lift along the bottom edge of the screen. The 3T I had briefly was much worse as the lift was top and bottom.

It's the curse of the 2.5D screen and a slightly misaligned or badly sized protector.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] L22EEW:
Yep, I guessed that.

The protector on my OP3 thought it still firmly in place. No lifting anywhere.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] vimto25:
Very easy especially With the cut outs. I make sure the screen is on so u can allign it better.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] vimto25:
No I've not noticed any loss of screen none that I'm aware off as I make sure the screen is lit up when I'm installing it.

There's certainly no lift it fits perfect.

Hopefully some other buyers will be able to give there opinion on it too soon.

There is still a rainbow effect unfortunately. From reviews of the orzly that also has the rainbow effect. Maybe there will be revisions to eliminate this we hope so anyway.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] vimto25:
Do you find the screen hard to see in sunlight with this protector on? I seem to struggle to see and brightness is on full. Also I have started to see some bleed on the edges. Do you think the CASEBASE is exactly the same as orzly ? As if orzly is better I might purchase that.
