[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] oTeMpLo:
it fuzy compared to "QHD dislplys / Samsung / LG / Pixel".. but it is usable..
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Dendis:
Want to switch from Sony Xperia Z2

Is it worth buying OP3T now(in my country it costs about 400EUROS and Oneplus5 like 500)?

Other people recommend Huawei Honor 9.

Idk what should I do, my budget is about 350-400 (MAX 450euros) .

Opinions?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] AndyPhoenix9879:
Don't go for the Honor 9 (unless it's priced significantly lower). If you are going for the Honor 9, just go for the 3T, it packs a greater punch (the storage is significantly faster inside the 3T)

The 3T is still worth it even at this times. It's blistering fast and the battery life is superb (for me). Honestly the performance difference between the 5 and 3T is not by a huge margin anyway.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Dendis:
but do you think it`s still worth it? Will 3T even support Android O?

Btw, what`s your setup: Kernel / ROM

Are there any problems you face on daily basis?

I want to switch so badly, but I dont want to waste my money.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
He just said it's still worth it (those exact words) in

the post you quoted

. Why are you asking again?

Plus, the Honor 9 is not going to have anywhere near the development and community here as the 3T does. The 3T section is

the

most active forum on XDA, last I heard.

Yes.

https://www.xda-developers.com/the-oneplus-33t-will-have-android-o-by-the-end-of-2017/

Plus, the dev community here will almost certainly keep the 3T going long after "O", even if Oneplus doesn't.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Dendis:
I can get Op3 for 280euros - 300.

Op3T costs 400.

5.11 is just the update code, it is the latest Android 6.0.1, you can install all regions but default one is much more compatible.

Just download and flash, do not forget to select ALL WIPE options. You have to wipe for downgrade.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NahuelMS:
After upgrading to Nougat (clan install, wipe, etc) my baterry is really worst. It is like 30-60 min less SoT than before and 60-90min less active phone, with same config, same apps, etc. Also, the phone is a lot less awake than before. After 1 year of waiting can't believe this...

How about the rest?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autosurgeon:
Dude you guys have to let the update settle in..you won't get accurate battery usage for at least 5 or 6 charge discharge cycles.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NahuelMS:
Dude, hate this kind of things. Why you think i am dumb enougth to post this without letting the battery settle down? I did the upgrade two weeks ago and have at least 30-40 full charges-discharge cycles because i use the phone a lot and now have to charge it like 3 times a day. Also do the 0 to 100% calibration a lot of times and also use the normal charger too to compare. I use Gsam battery monitor to keep tracking the battery and the media values and keep my M.M. data stored to compare later. So, please, if you don't want to help me or post how is your battery life compare please don't make this kind of post thinking the other ones are dumb people or not understand how battery work on android.

Thanks, best regards.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
It seems the radios are much less efficient in Nougat than Marshmallow when the signal is below average... is GSAM showing your radio with very high percentage of battery usage? Not much we can do about that, but some users have stated with poor signal the radios are using 30% of the battery and more (where in MM it was 5-10% when signal was poor). No fix yet and flashing MM radios doesn't seem to improve it, probably have to wait for an update. :/

If that doesn't explain it, try a cache wipe, then a factory reset... I am getting to a point I am recommending a factory reset for EVERYONE on this OTA, lots of weird little bugs that seem to be cleared up on a factory reset.

After updating to official nougat through ota moto x style (indian version) getting best battery performance. Getting around 4.5 to 5 hours on full cycle. Due to network error not able to post pictures.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NahuelMS:
The most weird thing is that the % are the same as with M.M. so can figure out why it is drainning battery. Only a lot less time held awake from the kernell and a little bit more from screen. I tried wiping the cache like 10 times. Install and uninnstall google play services, also tried the play services beta to see if it is gettint better.

Also always do a factory reset after the install of an new OS to avoid problens, so it is a clean install. Another thing I notice is the unlinear behaviour of the battery. Maybe from 100 to 75 got 2 SoT screen time and from 75 to 10 got 1 hour.

Aniway I noticed what you are saying about the low signal drain. Last nigth i was in a place with almost no signal and the cellphone in standby mode drain like 40% in an hour.

For the others who has better battery i can't understand why i am getting less battery. I use it in the same way as marshmallow. Also i read other people having battery problems too. I will have to disable all moto features to see if i get an improvement.

Thanks to all!

I'm getting ~2.25-2.5 hours of SOT. I've my 4G sim enabled for about 6-7 hours with mediocre signal strength. So not a good improvement over MM but that maybe because of 4G data. I need to check how it performs with only WiFi.

Buzzing audio noise issue

I've recently bought one of these & it seems pretty good for the money (i.e. £40 on prime day with student discount). I've installed the Google Play Store & downloaded some apps & everything works fine so far. It's mostly being used to listen to music using the Google Music & BBC Radio apps, both of which work fine.

However I've noticed a couple of issues with the audio which are quite annoying. The tablet is connected to my stereo amplifier via a cable (headphone jack to 2 stereo jack). The first problem is when the amp is on but the tablet is off there is a buzzing noise. Secondly, when the tablet is on audio plays perfectly with no buzzing but when whatever is playing has finished (i.e. when no sound is playing) there is silence for some time (maybe 5 or 10 minutes) but then a buzzing noise starts & repeats erratically. However, this noise stops as soon as the tablet screen is switched on. The noise sounds like the tablet isn't earthed correctly but I've used the same cables & connections with my old Nexus 7 tablet without any problem so don't see why this should be any different.

Having spoken with Amazon they suggest a factory reset which I'm holding back from doing as it's taken me some time to set it up & I'd rather not go through it again. However, they did remove the adverts from the lockscreen for free while I was chatting to them which was good.

Anyway, my question is does this sound like a software fault, a hardware fault, or an issue with the cable I'm using. Obviously, if it's a hardware fault I'll have to send it back anyway but it's a pain whatever as I'm quite happy with it otherwise. Also if I send it back does anyone think that the fact I've installed the Google Play Store on it will affect the return.

Sorry for long rambling post but couldn't find anything about this issue anywhere else & appears this is the first question posted in this thread so maybe it's a bit too early to expect anyone to be able to answer from experience yet.

Cheers anyway.

Blank Home Screen on HD8-7th

I have a Fire HD 8, 7th Gen, running Fire OS 5.4.0.0.

My problem is that my home screen will sometimes go blank. I can swipe down to show the Brightness etc, and I can hit the square on the bottom to see and use any running apps, but the screen that usually shows Home, Books, Video, etc is completely blank. I can swipe down, open settings, and navigate through there with no problems.

I have done a factory reset, and still have the symptoms.

The only things I have done after the reset is install Adobe acrobat from the Amazon Appstore, and install the Google Play Store using these APKs:

edit: I am having a hard time with the forum link autodetect. All of these are on www<DOT>.apkmirror<DOT>com.

apk/google-inc/google-account-manager/google-account-manager-5-1-1743759-release/google-account-manager-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/

Any suggestions? I am willing to try another reset, and try without the Google stuff for a few days, but it seems like lots of people are using this on this tablet without problem.

Thanks,

Ed
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bErNaRdSfInGeRs:
Since this thread is pretty quiet & doesn't seem to have any responses I can only offer my own experience which is that I've installed Google Play Store following this thread:

how-to-install-google-play-store-fire-t3486603 & haven't experienced this issue. I'm not sure about the source of your apks but if you're getting them from elsewhere maybe try the links in the thread I've given to see if that makes any difference?

You could get the tablet replaced as a factory reset is the standard test Amazon suggest before offering a replacement so if that hasn't worked then it is likely an issue with the tablet itself. If you do chat to Amazon about it is worth mentioning the ads on the lockscreen (if you have them) as you can get them removed for free fairly easily (basically by just mentioning them).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zediiiii:
Thanks for the helpful post. Are you aware of a dedicated thread (or other place) where dev-minded individuals working with the hd fire 7th gen may frolic in efforts to root/unlock bootloader? At least a list of known potential exploits etc? I had no trouble finding such resources for my Note 4. I don't expect to have time to really dig in - but I might contribute in small ways.

---------- Post added at 06:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 AM ----------

A couple thoughts-

-the steps must be followed in order on that post or things night get wonky.

-are you using the stock launcher or something else? I had similar issues with launcherpro. Did you start to follow the instructions on how to change your launcher perhaps?

-I had better luck when installing the apks from my device instead of sideloading. I have some ideas as to why, but that doesn't matter in this post.

-Do you have a particular setting that is synchronizing after you log in? You night try turning off app sync and backup and then clearing the data/cache for the launcher app.

Perhaps the easiest solution is to change your launcher app to something nicer. I've been using Nova (pretty standard launcher replacement) and it works great.

Blank Home Screen - resolution

Thank you all for your advice.

Here is what worked for me:

I uninstalled the Google Play store from my home screen, then reinstalled all four apks from my SD Card. I don't know why this worked, because I thought I did that before. Maybe I installed directly from the APK website, I don't know, but I have not seen the blank home screen I described above since.

By this time, I had already talked to Amazon, and their policy seemed to be "Blank screen after system restore? Ship him a replacement." So now I am returning a probably perfect HD8 to Amazon. <shrug>

Thanks, again, and I am looking forward to when you geniuses figure out how to root the HD8.
