The Kernel version that was comfirmed fixed the AOD problem is 3.18.14-12784722. I haven't got any OTA update since that version was released. But why you now have a different version than both me and him? Looks like some guys also have different version. Maybe Kernel version also depends on countries?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Greight:
Is your phone J730GM? If so, probably this is the update. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] khaisttj92:
kernel version depend on countries.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] sergantfigo:
So the ota update that fix aod problem only rolled in india for j730g model ?

So its not for j730f?

What the hell samsung ?

I sent my j730f to samsung support and they said its not hardware problem so they flashed my phone with latest soft ware firmware in egypt and problem still there so ?

Oreo will come soon, so please be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Adityagiann:
How do you know that?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Davva:
On January 31 beta testing is over and Oreo is rolling for S8 and S8+, all of developments of Oreo upgrade for S, J and A series is over, so Oreo for J7 2017 will arive soon.

P.S. sorry for bad english
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Adityagiann:
Oww so the s8 got official oreo update?? I thought it was still beta. Well now I can't wait anymore for the update ?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Davva:
Yeah, I'm super excited about Oreo ?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Greight:
I personally tested this rom: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7-2017/development/rom-t3748708

AOD here is completely dark but its battery drain is too much for me (More than what has been claimed for fixed firmware). However for rom to work with no serious issues you have to install Refined Kernel, which reduces the AOD light. Otherwise it's good.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] JasonS.:
So yeah it's software related problem... I will stick with the official software as I don't want to void my warranty.

New version for G variant (change list 13007456) did not fix the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] akshat.partner:
dear user, i am from samsung , please provide me the video of the respective problem

please sent the video to the titled email address

It's really frustrating and I guess it drains the battery a lot

I also noticed the that the preview of the aod is perfect on all brightness levels

Maybe thats because the display panel uses different settings whe

What I also noticed is when the real aod is set to full brightness because of the sunlight the screen really gets black ( you can try this with a flashlight or so )

But on the lowest brightness the screen gets grey .

Would love to know if this is just software related or hardware

Because if it is hardware I give it a try and send it back[/QUOTE]
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Greight:
[/QUOTE]

I assume you have contacted Samsung and got a reply. Anyway, yes it is software related and in recent updates has been fixed, well just not for G variant, or at least for me. Please read last 2 or 3 pages.

What should I take video of? The problem is the grey backlight in complete darkness, as simple as that. If you need anything special, please tell me.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] akshat.partner:
if you will share the video i will send it to the Samsung head office Gurgaon and will help you with screen or phone replacement, if possible make a video of 1 min with the backlit on in the dark place.

I tried taking the video using LG stylus 2 camera. Unfortunately although the back light is obvious to the eye, it couldn't capture it even in photo mode. I don't have my camera with me at the moment. So please someone else share a video or in a week I'll try with my cam.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] akshat.partner:
Dear user without the video we will not able to coordinate with our technical team regarding the issue, so try to send the video asap so we can take desired action. also give a description that from when you are facing the problem.

Camera is different from eyes bro... and it's really easy to se the backlight. Just cover the clock and it'll be more clear to see
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] daophilac:
The problem is with a modern camera, we still won't be able to capture that grey screen due to lack of bright. Even with human eyes, it's still pretty hard to recognize that problem. But the fact that human eyes can adapt with dark environment, which a camera or so, can not. So only we, human-being, can see the grey screen.

I also had an idea that is use adb to capture the AOD screenshot, and then compare the color code of background to the color code of completely black pixel by using Photoshop. The result was they were both the same code with completely black pixel. So I THOUGHT this is kind of very deep code. It turns out that the OS told the the screen to make those pixels totally black, but the display itself, however, wouldn't do that.

Making a video for you as a evidence maybe impossible. Hope I was wrong.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Greight:
Are you 100% sure? Did you test it in a completely dark environment?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] daophilac:
I'm really new to Android.

I know nothing about variant. What does that mean?

Yeah, I saw someone said that a custom ROM has fixed the problem, but I don't have dare to deal with it. I'm worried about warranty and the ROM performance. And since we had to suffer this problem for a long time like this, I feel like I don't need AOD anymore. I also gave up hoping a new update from Samsung.

The fact that I'm super busy at the moment, I still want to try something to fix it like flashing that ROM or so. But I think if something goes wrong, it would annoy me very much.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Greight:
I mean you have J730G, like me. As you have the official unrooted firmware, you can simply update it via the phone itself. Just go to Settings, then Software Update and check for update. There should be a new one. Please keep me informed, so if your update works and fixes the problem, I can flash your country's firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] daophilac:
Yes, my phone is unrooted, but I've done checking software update many times, there was no update. My friend said that a mid-range Samsung usually gets only 1 update. I think I believe so, because I got an update at 11/2017, and since that time, I didn't see any new update so far.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Greight:
That's weird. As I said, this is the new update for Vietnam with Security Patch Level of 2018-02-01. Maybe your phone is carrier locked or something like this.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] daophilac:
Oh no, I checked update right after I saw your reply, there was no update, but then I restarted my phone and now I can see the new update??? So phone need to restart usually to keep track on updates? That's weird. But thank you so much, I'm downloading it.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Greight:
I don't know about that, but the good thing is it worked anyway. Please let me know about the final outcome.

SM-J730G/DS malaysia also same no changes in aod and the greyish still there after update.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Greight:
I will never love a brand. I'm just after what I want. The features of this phone met my needs and that's why I bought it. Of course I cannot deny the fact that one of those features was aod, as it was nostalgic for someone like me who'd used Nokia phones back in the day. I also cannot hide my frustration with Samsung and its ridiculously inconsistent bug fixing. We have fixed and unfixed variants of the same model with same update.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Adityagiann:
Yep let's hope it fixed ??
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] daophilac:
I didn't remember exactly because of my brain suck. But I recall that I installed a higher AOD version on my phone one time before. Then AOD kept crashing, but I couldn't uninstall it, because it is preload app. And I also couldn't install any lower AOD version, just because you can't just easily downgrade your app. I tried to downgrade it by ADB also but still failed.

But I have to say again that I didn't remember exactly, because these day I did tried a lot of method around this problem. Consequently, you can give it a try, maybe you will success.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] PatrickPa_1:

[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Greight:
I'm not from India and the thing is according to our friends here, the newest update for Indian variant (j730GM) has fixed the problem, but it's limited to that and a single sim F variant (Turkey).

And we all faced this problem from get go and it did not appear suddenly.

For video, I'm sorry with my equipment I could not capture the disaster in a video. However, I was able to take a picture using ISO mode. It does show the problem anyway.

I hope you can help us, as the problem has been fixed in the aforementioned firmware, but newest updated firmware in other regions still have the issue. :good:

[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] philpott1974:
Hi,

I am curious to know if anyone else has experienced this issue or if I have been very unlucky to get the same issue on two different phones!

The issue is; when recording video or recording just sound in any sound recorder app, the playback come out very poorly and inconsistent. The sounds wavers in volume and quality, frankly, it's not much use.

To be clear, this is only when playing back recordings made by the user. Audio playback for websites and MP3 is perfectly fine.

I can only find one mention of this when Googling and that was on this forum here https://xdaforums.com/swift-2/help/record-sound-swift-2-t3632541.

This sounds very much like the issue but there was no further mention of it.

Having already returned two, I'm not prepared to go through the stress of dealing with their awful customer service again (had to fall on my sword to Amazon to get the last one replaced only to find it had the same issue).

Given that there are 2,250 reviews for this device on amazon, I would really like to know if anyone else has noticed this? I am assuming, if it IS a firmware fault, then it will be fixed in further updates but it's incredibly annoying as I have what is otherwise a pretty good phone!

I don't use the video function THAT much but I would like the option to do it with decent sound if ever required!

Any feedback on this would be very much appreciated.

(I have previously factory reset the phone and tried the secondary audio codec in the video settings but neither made any difference).
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] dryhte:
I tried to record some sound yesterday and it came out awfully. Annoying indeed. (oh and my phone was factory reset since upgrading to Nougat)

Now I've never even tried to do this until today (and I've had the phone since spring) so it's not very important to me - but I'll mention it to Wileyfox on a forum where I know they're listening in.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] philpott1974:
Thanks, that would be great. Good to know I'm not the only one! I sent it back to Wileyfox explicitly detailing the fault but all they did was keep it for three weeks and perform a factory reset. Very disappointing. Hopefully, this will be addressed in a future update.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] dryhte:
Hi Phil, I tried this today in normal circumstances (= not a noisy concert) and it seems to work fine when I just record my voice and footsteps ;)

Was your issue also related to noisy circumstances? That would be a valuable information for Wileyfox.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] philpott1974:
Hi, no, the environment makes no difference, I can record me talking or a loud guitar or music from my laptop and they all sound terrible. I will try to upload an example if I am able to on this site.

For the french user:

Voici la rom du HTC Cruise V1.25.406.1.FR du 12/12/2007,

Un grand merci à OLIPRO pour son travail sur le HARD-SPL et DR JO pour ses nombreuses infos.

N'oubliez pas avant de flasher la nouvelle rom il faut utiliser le HARD-SPL de OLIPRO.

J'ai bien l'écran 3 couleurs puis je debranche et rebranche le cable usb.... il affiche 0 puis 100% et sur le pc le hard-spl me dit que tout est bon ....

mais.... comment être sur que mon htc est unlocké? car il reboot et j'ai toujours l'écran SFR et aucune de mes données n'a été effacé !!!

c'est normal??

j'ai peur d'installer la rom Cruise d'origine sans être sur qu'il est unlocké...

quelqu'un peut m'aider?

merci

Salut

Lors du flashage avec le Hard-Spl d'Olipro, tu as déCIDlocké ton appareil, c'est à dire que tu peux à present le flasher normalement, ceci ne t'enlève pas le vilain logo SFR. si tu flash pour mettre la rom d'origine c'est pareil, pour deux raisons:

- tu conserves ta garanti

- j'ai pas reussi à le remplacer par celui d'origine :p

Bjr,

depuis le passage de la rom SFR à la Rom FRE je n'ai plus de reboot incessant. Les softs d'origine sont bien meilleurs et mieux intégrés au systeme.

Aucune perte de cube ou autre désagrément. Pas de bug son non plus.

Hy

Since the migration to the original HTC FRE Rom, I didn't have any rebbot.

original Software are better integreted to the system and we found back good application than Opera (not the java version).

Cube is great working with no parameters an i have no problem with sound.
