[MENTION=6041288]santosh61[/MENTION] Im not asking about ETA,did you think our Note 2 can run Oreo?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] z-control:
before i flash this rom, can someone tell me if :

When the phone is power off, not in stand by but real power off, and you charge it, what color is the led ?

is it red in charging, and green in full charge ?

Because with rr resurection rom, the led is always green (in power off mode), when it charges and when it's full charged, the led is always green
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sonic_ear:
Need to check it back,I will report back later.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sonic_ear:
Same as before.....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] z-control:
thanks, but "same as before", what does it mean ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ragranadossc:
I have noticed a little issue... When the phone is locked and I press the unlock button it takes some seconds (5-7) to turn the screen on... any solution ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sonic_ear:
Same as previous rom & another rom.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] z-control:
and the previous rom, is the led is green or red ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Muhammed Suhail:
It's yellow while charging, green full charged and red low battery

You can change them if you want in settings -> notifications -> click on gear icon
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] z-control:
i''m asking when the phone is power off

you' re effect is ok when the phone is in sleep mode but not in power off

Here is an exemple to show how it was with stock rom in attached

;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ragranadossc:
Any solution for the screen delay ??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jer194:
If the phone is powered off, it shouldn't matter which ROM is installed I'd say (since ROM is not booted/active).
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] z-control:
i think it is in boot.img file, i tried to flash an other boot.img and the charge logo has changed, but not the led
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rootdude:
I've either cognitively dissonated myself into loving this phone, or it is really quite good. The official camera fix did some good and leaves open the good possibility that further refining will yield a great result, or I'll stick with the progress being made on the GCam port and use the native app for great monochrome shots (I love the B&W sensor and it is EXCELLENT). That said, no cases... I guess no problem - I ordered some SquareTrade insurance coverage today - if it drops or dies, they'll replace it for a hundred beans - I can handle that kind of coverage...

I'm not seeing the same quality defects others are reporting with their handsets (light bleed, TMOB signal issues, etc.) so either I got a keeper or others are being overly sensitive (nothing personal guys).

I asked for and will likely receive a return package, but I think I'll be sending it back empty. Sorry for the trouble Essential, but you are in my daily carry category now - my S8+ will stay ready for outdoor action as needed (water resistance, etc).

The aesthetics are what has done it for me... Maybe you feel the same? The feeling I get holding and using the Essential do indeed remind me of the first day with the OG iPhone - only ten years better. Hell - I still have some great pics I took with that lousy 2MP, fixed focus, no flash shooter from 2007 on my drive.

Anyway, just one man's changed opinion. If it grew on you too, please post your thoughts. I'm interested to know how many others have now caved.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
I really want to like it, I'm trying real hard.

The performance sucks and is not faster than a Moto Z with a Snapdragon 821.

This phone does some really aggressive thermal throttling.

This bothers me.

I really want to like it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
I kind of came to the same conclusion the other day. Software can always be improved with updates, and there's not another phone out there built with better materials. It looks, feels, and is, an upscale phone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rootdude:
I'm interested to hear what you know about thermal throttling. I'm a power user and I play Royale like an idiot and I haven't even felt it get warm, nor do I see the incredible battery drain I see with other devices I've played on in the past (the Pixel XL was the worst for that power drain). Do you have CPUZ installed on it and can get some screenies of the throttling b/c of overheat conditions?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
I don't see/feel the phone get hot. That's the point, before it even gets hot the CPU gets throttled.

If I artificially cool the device or I'm in a cold environment; I can run Antutu and get close to the Qualcomm numbers for their reference platform in the 178k range. I can do that only in a cold environment. If the device is in a warm room the performance drops to 160k or so. If the room is hot or if I try to run again the performance can drop to 150k. I have seen the results drop to below 120k.

Geek bench scores are somewhat better but not great.

1900 single core and 6000 multicore.

The renderscript score is about 8000. Which puts in 33% behind an iPhone 7.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NeutronBomb:
The software grew on me as more mods and ADB tweaks come out...but every time I decide to keep it and slap a skin of the back I find new scratches. Now I even have a scratch on the finish on the titanium. No clue where any of these came from. I haven't had a scratch on a phone in years... I upgrade every few months and always sell my phones mint on Swappa. I've had this a week and it's already scratched to ****. I love the look and feel and I'm happy with the software now but man..it's getting destroyed.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Interesting. Mine still looks like it just came out of the box, and it even took a 4 foot tumble to my bathroom floor the other day.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
So I hope the new update improves performance.

Right now if the phone gets to an internal temp of 44C it will throttle to less than half the maximum frequency.

This puts the performance, when warm, behind and LG G4, Samsung Galaxy S6 and my old Nexus 6P.

Not happy.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cadbomb:
I'm battling the decision now. I'm still in that 15 day return window, and like others am trying really hard to want to like this device.

Love the display. Don't mind that it's not AMOLED - I still get 5-6 hours SoT with moderate-heavy internet/call/text on wifi w/bt connected. No light bleed issues or lifting of panels for me, everything seems in order there.

There are some problems with the software that make me wonder if the problems I have are hardware or software. The micro-stuttering during scrolling (only while touching the screen during scrolling) could be a hardware problem, could be throttling, or could be OS optimization for this device in general. It's smooth as butter as long as I flick-scroll. Even if I slow finger-scroll vs slow flick-scroll the difference is noticeable, goes from stutter to butter. Finger-on-screen lag is like that of a bloated EVO3D trying to flip homescreens.

Then there are the definite software glitches that are present even after a full wipe of the phone (I really wish you could wipe the cache partition on this thing). This includes the occasional 10 second freeze while scrolling, the microstutters mentioned above, having to press back twice when in a conversation in the default messaging app, random screen presses when not touching the screen, regularly having to tap the screen repeatedly to get response from buttons.

And then there's the support - it takes a very long time to get response. I realize they are busy and trying to be responsive, and I am really trying to support this new company... One of the biggest problems I have is for solely existing as a consumer communications device manufacturer, they have some terrible consumer communication processes happening (or complete lack thereof). All I really want to know is that they are aware of and are working on the specific issues. Maybe I have control issues, but the dark is not a friendly place to be with 700 bucks on the line!!

I'm going to leave myself undecided for a few days and see where things go. If I don't see some kind of a software update addressing many of the issues some of us are experiencing I may have to reconsider... Despite all of the short-comings the new company has had as a baby, it's a beautiful baby. Let's just hope it learns fast ;) I'm really hoping the screen issues I'm having are software related, but without confirmation from the company I can't say that I have high confidence right now. I love the feel and design of the device itself, though! *torn*
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] theandroidbot:
I am really trying hard to like this device. In terms of overall feel it's immaculate. They did very well on the design of the the phone. My issues come with software and future development. Right now there's clear software bugs and other optimization that needs to be done. If they can work on some of those things the experience on this phone would improve tenfold. Also once they get the source code and kernel out then we can start seeing more Community Development. We could also get things such as custom recovery and root. I'm hoping that in the coming weeks this phone and the community support will improve. I think I'll keep my device for while to see if that happens if not I may be lookin at a Pixel 2.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveHTC200:
There isn't a massive amount of development on the pixel in relation to other Nexus devices likely due to the A/B partitions so I'm dubious on the pixel 2 at the moment
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rootdude:
Can the QC really be that hit and miss? I have zero scratches as well on front or back.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] iswope:
Same here. The one thing I absolutely love is the build quality. It looks exactly as the day it arrived.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] parusia:
Mine looks like the first day. I'm very impressed with the build quality.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] anandlal:
No issues with mine fr a build standpoint. Fell a few times and no scratches. I'm using a glass screen protector even though there is a halo. Rather that scratches than the screen. The update that came out today is probably the software the phone should have shipped with initially... but we were all in a rush to get it. I'm keeping this device for sure! I also like confusing the heck out of ppl... I'm running the Arrow Launcher, blackberry keyboard and I use the iPhone sms sound for text notifications..
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] hoopsdavis:
My only complaint really is I think they went too small. Most smarts phones are a little larger.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] m3lover1:
I think it's refreshing. I mean I love big phones, haven't used a small sized phone in years, but after using this phone for several days, I love how reasonably compact it is with this screen size. I should rephrase, I love big screen size, not necessarily big form factor. So to have this screen size packed in a smaller form, I think it's awesome.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] flakko86:
The "small" form factor with big screen is the the biggest reason this phone came into my radar
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] warea:
Same with me and many others. The big screen in compact size is among the major pros for buying this mobile. Besides that, I was also attracted to the clean design/material used and the pin port for 360 camera and other gadgets.

But I'm still waiting (impatiently) for how the Huawei Mate 10 pro turns out to be before I buy the essential phone. Hoping the Mate 10 pro is as compact and well built as well, combined with supposedly beast new Kirin 970 and improved dual camera, and maybe some new features like AI, Graphene battery, 3D Face recognition (all already introduced on Huawei's Honor magic). It would be the only contender to essential phone on my list. If Mate 10 pro disappoints then by that time Essential phone would be ready to ship out with 360 camera and charging dock in one go.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DROIDESP:
I have really grown to like this device. I have been using as my DD since the update, no significant issues and certainly no scratches or signs of wear. The size of the device is a key factor for me, I love the form factor.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] skinnytoo2:
I sent mine back. Really wanted to love it. The build quality and size were exceptional. I couldn't deal with the battery or cam. Couldn't make it to 5 hours SOT. I had it 10 days, but had to send it back. Maybe with some improvements I'll try it again. Right now though I am really enjoying my Note 8.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkne0:
I want to really love this phone, the quality is the best I've seen. I love how it feels in hand, though bit slippery. I love the screen, the design of it. But it does feel like it was rushed, software wise. I get a few lockups a day. Sometimes I wait a few moments and it returns to normal. But today the phone feels really sluggish and had to restart it. The camera and it's app are crap. I've been using the Google camera app but it can't save the camera. A phone this beautiful didn't deserve a crappy camera. Just like what I read on AC, this phone will be remembered not for it's looks, but for it's bad camera. Even people I've talked to who aren't really into tech know about this phone..." Oh, that's the phone with the crappy camera right?" I want to love this phone, but the Pixel 2 might be in my future.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cybertec69:
No problems here with the PH1, phone is smooth as butter and fast, with great build and quality materials, small form factor with a 5.7" screen, great battery life and reception, nice speaker that is loud, nice dongle with build in DAC, play music for hours with the battery meter hardly moving at all. And comes with an unlocked bootloader.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DanDroidOS:
Completely agree!!!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] CRasH180:
This has by far been one of the best phones in have used in a very long time. The closest being the Sprint HTC One M8 or M7, minus all of the crapware they install on the phones. Thank you rooting! I have come across a few issues that caused me concern for the build quality of the newly purchased Essential PH-1 phone:

1. When I wipe the screen off with a microfiber cloth, the area right above the camera, in between the screen and the outer bezel peeled off a section about a quarter inch long and a few centimeters wide. This happened again a few days later leaving part of my phone's insides exposed

2. The 27 watt charging block that came with my phone in the box, will not charge on any outlet I plug it into. Even working outlets

3. My phone has hard locked every now and then, once while using the camera and the phone was not overheating. This required a hard restart of my phone and it would come back up without issue

Contacted Essential customer support via the web site and provided the details of what happened. They responded letting me know they are aware of this issue for a small batch of the phones and will be replacing it later this week and I will need to send them back my old phone.

No fuss, no muss. They will simply replacement it and apologized for the inconvenience. I love this phone and look forward to receiving the replacement when it arrives.

CRasH180 :D
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] going_home:
Overall the phone is nice, the 360 is a novelty that will get little use.

I'll keep it till a few months after Pixel2 is released.

Essential is too slow with the updates for me.

I hate how the screen is curved at the edges so the glass screensaver won't adhere at the edges.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] elsamuraiguapo:
I'm a Sprint employee that was given the device to keep as a product advocate. I'll say that it is nice Sprint has a clean premium stock Android offering in their stores....but nobody is gonna buy this phone. For the $700 price tag they're competing with the S8 and iPhone 8. It may be a little cheaper than those 2, but most buyers in the US get there phones on monthly payment plans so saving a few extra dollars to get a device they've never heard of doesn't seem like much.

My personal take? For a device that is stock with no bloat and a Snapdragon 835, it doesn't feel quite as smooth as it should. I think the HTC U11 and the pixel feel more responsive. Not that this one is bad though. I think the Oreo update might make it or break it for me. If with the Oreo update they can iron out all the small kinks including the camera app, it will be my daily driver for probably the next 6 months at least. And yeah, the camera is pretty bad. Exposure is terrible and shots come out totally blurry 1/3 of the time. Maybe if you're coming off of an older device you won't notice this as much but compared to other 2017 flagships that I own like the S8 or the U11 it's pretty bad. Note this is on the auto mode...the monochrome sensor seems to work far better as others have pointed out. So yeah, let's hope the Oreo update comes soon and with some software improvements!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
It isn't as smooth as it should be.

Back to back Antutu runs cause it to heat throttle.

I sent it back and got an LG G6. The G6 does better/has more consistent runs and no throttling unless I abuse it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] liquidDroid:
I'm going to give it a solid month of use before I make any conclusions about the PH-1.

Of course the build quality is far superior than it's competitors.

Everyone as all up in arms over the camera but I haven't taken any picture that would make me toss it out the window.

I am going to be really interested to see when the phone gets Oreo. Now that they made a public statement saying that it's coming soon, we'll have to see how soon is soon in the eyes of Essential.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Sjengie:
I see very tiny scratches on screen and back. I wear it in my pocket like all the phones i have owned. I think the cornich gorilla glass is less good than my previous Nokia 6. The Nokia showed no scratches at all. I have also had a few dead locks without any warnings. I had toen hard reset. Problem is i AM Dutch and brought it in from the US.

Anyway i will give it some time. Maybe i will love IT, bit not now.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] robertc88:
The lg g6 is a backwards processor and that phone costs more in my parts. No thank you.

I am having no heating/throttling or whatever else. T-Mobile reception and down speeds are fine, no different from my s8.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
Maybe I got a bad unit but my unit when running Antutu or any other benchmark would heat throttle after the first run.

When doing anything demanding it would slow down. The 821 is by no means backwards and in the G6 I have consistently outperforms the PH-1.

YMMV.

As for cost, I can't speak to that.

I paid $449 for an unlocked version.

As far as LTE speeds, on Verizon, I'm not seeing any difference with the G6.

I liked the phone but for the almost $900, I expected better.

They haven't even released sources for developers. :(
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Where are you getting this $900 figure from? The PH-1 costs $700.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] robertc88:
LG negatives for me was bloat, LG skin, and price.

PH-1 is cheaper and has more storage and I think the display to these eyes looks great. I am not much for cameras so that makes me no never mind. This company rolls out updates pretty quickly from what I have witnessed so far since I bought it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
Add $99 for extended warranty and drop protection plus 10% in taxes where I live.

$700+$99+$80 = $879.

My Lg G6 was $449 + $99 for drop protection.

So let's eliminate drop protection.

Then we are at $449 vs $770. So $321 more. Sorry, that's almost another phone.

I used Nova launcher so whatever skin they use is irrelevant to me.

Like I said maybe I got a bad unit but, the one I had did terrible throttling and would not perform consistently in benchmarks.

Benchmarks are but one measurement, but I don't expect to go from 170K to 150K to 118K in Antutu with three back to back runs.

I loved the hardware but like I said, for almost $900 I expected better.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mark_20:
Like many others I really want to like this phone, it looks and feels like a high end phone. There are two Cons that have me looking at other options right now.

1. Camera: it has improved but is so far behind my older HTC10 that it makes me wonder how Essential managed to make the camera so bad. Again I think some/most of these issues could be fixed by software updates

2. No Verizon HD Voice Support: Essential Tech Support is useless, and after finally getting through to Verizon Tier 2 Support was told that they do not support any of the advanced calling features on "open source" phones purchased elsewhere.

So I can either keep the PH-1 and use it on what is basically Verizon's previous generation network and not simultaneous voice and data, or I can look at other options.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tikerz:
I thought it was Verizon certified which means VoLTE works which means simultaneous voice and LTE data does work.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mark_20:
No according to Verizon, Certified means you can make and receive calls on their network. It does not mean it works with any advanced features. Essential is now telling me they do not guarantee their phone works with any advanced features, just that it can make/receive calls.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] xxBrun0xx:
My Mi Mix 1 had the same problem with the SD821. Ceramic is a great insulator, so unfortunately ceramic phones are bound to have worse heat dissipation than others. If the essential was all metal, would be less slippery, more durable, more beautiful (way less fingerprints), and perform much better.

Could fix this if you underclock the big cores and gpu aggressively. That was the only way to get the Mix 1 to cool down, still performed pretty well, and really improved battery life. Worth a shot on the essential!
