[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bonerp:
Is that usable screen though? I had the S8+ and hated the ratio (too tall) and narrow width. Why does the note 7/FE feel bigger in use? Certainly don't make as many errors typing on my FE than the S8+! I couldn't wait to get rid of the s8+ for the FE. Maybe it just feels a better dimension.

useful comparison....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] teegunn:
Yes, that's usable screen. When measuring I took off the steep sides of the curved edges of the Note 7 and S8+ to compare - in other words, I measured from where the curved edge stopped and the screen became flat. The S8+ has more curve on the edges, slightly, than the Note 7 so that means the Note 7 has slightly (we are talking about less than a MM) less "curved edge" distortion. From the pictures I have seen, the Note 8 will have even slightly less edge curves than the Note 7, and for sure less than the S8+. This means that the edges do not project in towards the middle of the screen quite as far (barely any on the Note 7), therefore there is more flat, usable display.

Bottom line, the Note 8 will have more display than the Note 7. It is significantly taller and a tad wider of actual usable display. Also, I turn off all the edge features AND use a phone case that comes up over the curved edges on the sides, so the edges are not an issue for me on either the Note 7, S7E or S8+. I would still prefer a flat screen and not edge screen simply for the fact that one can get a tempered glass screen protector that actually works and adheres to a flat screen. The edge screens are all but impossible to get a tempered protector that is even worth using, and the edges make the display MUCH more likely to break if the phone is dropped and hit on the edge somewhere.

As I mentioned, I would still prefer a 16:9 ratio but with the small bezels that the S8 and Note 8 have. Also would prefer no edge curves. But that is not the way the industry is going - 18:9 will soon be the standard, if it isn't already. I wish at least Samsung was going with 18:9 and not 18.5:9, but you can't get everything you want, lol.

[Samsung Gear Fit] mymyway:
dear all,

just got this gorgeous gear fit. it looks really good, love it. but i need it more than just good shiny bracelet thingy. i need three main functions (beside as a watch):

1. wa notification (done)

2. heart rate monitor which can automatically read my heart rate every one hour or so

3. sleep monitor

i am using xiaomi redmi 3s with marshmallow miui 8 eu dev rooted. browse and tried everything i bumped to to achieve those three goals. so far works for me:

a. gear fit manager debugsigned from other thread in this forum, but crash every time calls in.

b. open fit from google play, but wa notification don't have preview on the gear fit.

c. gear fit pro lite from google play.

all those manager apps can not connect to third party app which have heart rate graphs. gear fit pro lite include health graphics on its own but no heart rate graphics.

if anybody got any clue about no 2 and 3 please inform me...

thanks in advance

1. There’s another, new demo video (thanks to the PocketPlayers Reloaded folks) of the forthcoming, kick-butt FPSEce 0.010 Playstation emulator:

Coolboarders

(See THIS and THIS for the earlier videos)

2. Mobile2Day.de has some GREAT game rebates until 02/10; most importantly, the brand-new Revival (see reviews linked from HERE), Spb AirIsland and the great multiplayer title Explode Arena. You can save about 40% of their price – don’t hesitate to go and purchase! (I’ve already purchased Revival for Pocket PC in there: yes, I’ve saved some 7 euros compared to, say, the current ClickGamer price.) Note that the portal is German-only; please see THIS for more info if you don’t know the language.

The titles offered:

Revival: 11,95 euros (PPC version) / 7,95 euros (MS Smartphone version)

Mahjongg Deluxe 3D: 5,95 euros

Explode Arena: 5,95 euros

Spb AirIsland: 12,95 euros

Chess Professional: 5,95 euros

(news source: PocketPlayers Reloaded)

Note that the pretty much recommended Arcade Park 1.4 (from the same folks as Revival) is also sold at a some (8,88 euros instead of 10,45) discount – it’s also worth at least giving it a try.

3. Not exactly Windows Mobile news, but still may be of interest to mobile gamers (particularly now that HTC have practically declared they don't consider their Qualcomm-based mobile devices meant for gaming at all): N-Gage First Access goes live. See my comments HERE (in the Comments section) for more info.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topstarnec:
on the page 3 of GSMARENA review it said so

"The USB has MHL 3.0 functionality, which allows it to output 2160p video at 30fps, coincidentally the top mode for the camera. The port also supports USB HID devices, like a keyboard and a mouse."

on the same page of the Gsmarena review it also said,

"Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, like the Galaxy Note5, features a 3,000mAh non-removable battery. We put the smartphone through the rounds of our battery test and it achieved an endurance rating of 83 hours.

This means you can rely on the S6 edge+ for three and a half days on a single charge,

...........

Combined with the plethora of options to rapidly charge the phablet, we reckon that the battery endurance of Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ should be good enough for even a seasoned power user. "

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pavlonatorPL:
Hello everyone!

Usually I am not active on forums because usually most answers are somewhere in the vast internet. But this time I gave up.

I have a problem with my Note 5's (SM-N920L) fast battery drain. Now it even goes 20% per hour when I use it.

My phone is already about 1,5 year old and I use it a lot, so I read that might be a battery problem so I tried booting it into safe mode and it solved the problem so it seems there is a problem with some app or other functionality, not a battery. So I have factory reset my phone and it was working fine for maybe 3 days, then afternight it drained batterry ultra fast again.

I tried uninstalling any apps that I had installed the day before it broke again, but it didn't help

I have also rooted my phone previously to try to find the reason for fast drain with Gsam stats and WakeLock but I still couldn't find out what's the cause of the problem.

I've seen some posts about deep sleep issue, but my battery drain is qute ok when I'm not using it.

Did anyone have a similar problem? Do you have an idea what can I do to repair it?

Greetings,

Paweł (Paul) Sawicki
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbine1991:
Recently I've been trying a different set of tweaks and have the best battery life I've ever had with this device.

DO NOT USE GREENIFY. As it drains the battery a lot these days.

-Rom: PixelRom v6 (Samsung based, all other roms suck for our device, this is odexed and the fastest)

-Kernel: Fuel kernel.

-Cpu governor:

Big: zzmove

Small: interactive

-Flash the lastest Magisk 13 beta.

-Download - then install the following magisk zip plugins through the magisk app:

-(Deleted crossbreeder, as it causes system hangs)

-DozeGMS

-https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk

Then install busybox (use one which installs successfully). Then hebf from the play store, don't apply any profiles. Disable the extra logging and kernel panics - set it to stay on boot.

-Battery tab - Enable improve battery, low ram device, instant doze.

And I do recommend making your wifi turn off when the screen goes off.

Welcome to three days of battery with frequent usage.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorendroll:
Check system processes. I found out recently that com.android.systemui uses 15% cpu even on empty home screen and heats up my device without any reason. It was definately the cause of my battery drain. I've been trying disabling apps and unnececery options, and suddenly ui stoped draining and went down to normal 0.5% cpu consuimption. But I don't know exactly what I changed. My latest action was to update all Galaxy Apps.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbine1991:
Actually - don't use that Crossbreeder plugin, it seems to cause system hangs. Everything else though is fine - it'll make the battery life sing!

I also accepted this device just had bad battery life. But now it's never been so good.

IMO Samsung should have used a single processor and use a bigger battery.

[Amazfit] trez77:
I'm going to the Beijing area later this month. I'm thinking about picking up an Amazfit in a store. It should be easy enough to change it into English firmware or PACEify it.

Has anyone bought it in a store in China? I wonder which stores are selling it - any electronics store or just Xiaomi branded stores and what price to expect?
[Amazfit] qpqpqp:
Don't know what price are at in China but I got mine online for $104 us dollars.
[Amazfit] trez77:
I'm Europe based, and in order to avoid VAT and admin. fees by importing from US or China-based online webshops I have to buy through Europe-based resellers - and then the price is something like >$200 according to my research. So it would just be easier (cheaper), when I am in China to buy one there if possible.
[Amazfit] le_lutin:
I'm based in europe and the price I paid was £82 from gearbest and also geekbuying (I bought 2 amazfits).

You don't pay any VAT or admin tools from either of those retailers if you just choose the standard delivery method,.
[Amazfit] fzelle:
Where are you in europe?

I bought through gearbest, with "priority shipping to Germany" .

It comes at their price, no additional tax, it's €88,88 atm

https://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_687047.html
[Amazfit] le_lutin:
UK.
[Amazfit] trez77:
I'm in Denmark. So gearbest ship from within the EU? Maybe I'll look it up.

Though still traveling to China so if anyone have information about getting one of these out there let me know.
[Amazfit] droidhd:
Check with some aliexpress seller (sort by number of orders) and ask them from what town they are. Maybe you will be near them, so you can make personal deal. Or just order from aliexpress and put the adress for delivery where you will be in that time. Easy as that :)

You can do same with Gearbest/geekbuyibg, etc.
[Amazfit] le_lutin:
Yes gearbest ship to the EU. Though recently I've had a better experience with geekbuying (their shipping was much faster)

I think buying online would actually end up being less hassle than buying in China, and I'm not convinced there would be a huge saving anyway. At least with buying online you have some protection and after sales support.
[Amazfit] fzelle:
No they are not shipping from the EU, but they have found a way to avoid for you to pay taxes.

Probably won't last after brexit, as it is rumored that they ship via UK and then avoid taxes at all.
[Amazfit] trez77:
Just a short update. I ended up buying Amazfit Pace from the Xiaomi store in the shopping mall 'Modern Plaza' (https://goo.gl/maps/ETduKM7SLcw) in Beijing. Easily accessed by the subway.

The unit price was 799 Yuan. No problems by installing English firmware and updating to 1.3.4f.

I did look for it other places but couldn't find it anywhere. I found most resellers only had a few Xiaomi phones and sometimes more simpler fitness trackers.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxi65:
Assalam o alaikum!

This is for all those who are facing screen burn in in lg v20 display.( This tutorial has also worked for many other devices so if you're facing the same issue just give it a try to see whether it works for you or not)

This tutorial will also increase the color vibrance of display.

The only things You gonna need are

1 a custom kernel supporting Kcal

2 kernal auditor app or Simply Color control apk

3 apply these values and use your phone for around 10 to 20 mins and screen burn in Gone :) (in sha Allah)

Red 240

Green 240

Blue 240

Minimum 35

Saturation 50-65(depending upon your choice of color viberancy)

Value 130

Contrast 130

Hue 1520

*For more warmer and Super amoled like color, also Go to settings>Display> comfort view and set it to low* and you're good to go ?

Hello, with the rom stock I can not configure? only with root? any alternative via ADB?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaVinniCode:
Seems to work!

Thanks for that fix. I had read another fix had to do with physically replacing the thermal past inside the screen. This was much easier, but I am curious as to why this works. And will there be any consequence? Will it use more power or anything like that? The only value that was far from default was Hue.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cheeze.keyk:
Looks like its working on my G5.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bond32:
I actually looked into this and did it myself. Was quite easy as long as you're comfortable with tiny screws and parts. As far as phones go, there certainly isn't and probably never will be an easier phone to repair...

Took mine apart, saw a Reddit post about the thermal paste issue. It doesn't surprise me, these big companies always cheep out on thermal compound *cough Intel*. It's 21 screws, pop a few connectors, then the board comes out. Clean the old pink goo off, replace with good stuff (I use Arctic MX-4). So far seems ok, still noticed the retention but I'm hoping it will disappear.

Sounds like LCD displays are prone to getting hot which contributes to the image retention. I'm not an expert though, just what I read.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxi65:
Yes definitely Root is required and also a custom kernal supporting KCAL :)

Because stock kernal doesn't support the Kcal
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxi65:
Have you tried this method?

This method removes the retention ? percent ?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bond32:
I did. So far nothing changed. I used MX-4 thermal paste which has never disappointed. I will give it a few days, see what happens.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxi65:
May be Your paste has made this method useless for your phone :) because for most of the people it worked ;)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mustasusi:
Do you have a tutorial or couple of photos showing where exactly the CPU is? I see some silver plates on the circuit board but not sure if I need to remove any of those to reveal the chip undercover. I applied a similar fix to a V10 but this one looks different inside. I'd love to spare some of the heat too.

I did the settings suggested by OP and looks fine so far, so shokran ya habbibi!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bond32:
I didn't take any pictures. What I found was on Reddit in the LGV20 subReddit and there was a good video showing disassembly. If I find it ill link it here.

It was really easy to get to and find. 21 screws to come out then gently take out a few components. It was pretty obvious when I found the copper heatsink. Clean, reapply, reassembly.

I did actually leave my phone off one night and checked it in the morning. I didnt have any image retention at that time. After some use it came back though.

Just a thought. See how thin of a foam sheet you can find and try to fit it between the screen and board. :\ Im having the same issue but, it start after staying on an image for a second. I literally test how long it takes. So I wonder really how big of a role heat plays in it .

The settings [MENTION=6282117]maxi65[/MENTION] posted defiantly work. I can say with confidence, the changing of the thermal paste didn't help me. There could be other cases where it does improve things, but mine didn't change.

My v20 was pretty bad, so bad the sizes of the screen even showed image retention. I am almost out of the 1 year warranty so I am sending mine in for repair. Very odd
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mustasusi:
Thanks. I will look into it later today. After watching several tear down videos I finally spotted the pink dot right below the camera lens as I flip over the circuit board, that's where I mostly feel hot to the touch in the first place when heavy using. Cooling it down sounds like a great idea indeed.

Edit: did it and I can't tell too much of a difference. Scored 94K in Antutu, far from the 147k the day I bought this unit.

Hope it will get better by the time. At least I don't face retention anymore.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bond32:
Glad you dont have any retention. LG has actually already repaired & shipped mine, I sent it in on Monday. That is a bit faster than I expected. It is scheduled to be delivered Saturday.

What is weird is what they gave as the reason for repair. Has me a bit concerned because I basically voided the warranty 2 ways via root exploit and replacing the thermal paste. But it still says they repaired it rather than replacing it.

Just a heads up to others, since I bet a lot of you purchased it near release. I was very close to being out of the 1 year warranty, so if you have serious image retention/ghosting/whatever you might just bite the bullet and send it in now.
