Z Force, not Z2 force, 64GB + 128GB, battery backpack.

Problem: phone reboots on its own every few days and forgets it's a registered phone. It thinks it's a new load and forces me to go through initialization process. All apps are there, but their caches have been wiped, so all personalizations are gone.

Does anyone have a clue as to what could be causing this?

Update: The phone isn't losing the apps, just the main cache. While the apps still exist, their settings don't. Still looking for a cause.

I have the same issue. Did you find any solution?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Mr. Clown:
Please do a search..this has been addressed multiple times. All US S7 Edges' are able to interchange firmwares. So, it will be ok for you to flash the T-Mobile firmware on your device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] tdgillihan:
I have been searching, but getting conflicting or dated info. Since you've stated as of today that all are able to interchange firmwares I'm hoping you can clarify for me. From what I've seen, since my S7 Edge is on G935PVPU6BRD2 (Sprint), with the 6 indicating BL 6 if I'm understanding correctly, would I still be able to odin the most recent T Mobile firmware, G935TUVS4BRC1 with the 4 indicating BL 4 (again, if I am understanding this correctly) on to it? From my searches it seems that I may not be able to flash a lower BL #. TIA

Mr Clown is correct. This info is VERY easily found with a little Google grease. Sorry if I've stepped on your toes [MENTION=1380421]Mr. Clown[/MENTION].
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Mr. Clown:
My recommendation is that you flash ALL files (BL, AP..etc) from the T-Mobile firmware (or whatever carrier you want to flash). If not, you might get some annoying issues on the way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] tdgillihan:
Thanks for the reply. So the BL version is of no issue when flashing from a higher to a lower in this scenario then?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Mr. Clown:
No, there are no issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] tdgillihan:
Thank you sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] kani!bal:
Sir, you are correct, this is a major pain in the ass that Sprint has become the only carrier to currently use this 'bootloader' or 'binary' version 6 (5th Digit from last indicates this) and you are not able to install any other firmware because the Unlocked and other carrier firmwares are still using bootloader 4. I was hopeful since Sprint came out with the 6 that the other carriers will be updating to the version 5 (being as i'm currently stuck on Sprint's bootloader 5 firmware) when the official oreo update comes to these other carriers.

Also, if your searches are turning up with possibly outdated or incomplete information it has helped me to go thru each of the carriers seperate threads for this device to locate additional and more recent information.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] tdgillihan:
Yes, I have found that it is indeed a very big issue. As my password with my former carrier stated: Sprintsux1big1. Spent most of a Saturday working my way out of a soft brick bootloop after being assured here in this thread that "No, there are no issues" with downgrading to a lower bootloader on this device. I should have known better, but accepted that statement at face value based upon the source. So... now I too await the Oreo update. With scant hope that T Mobile's Oreo will come with bl 6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] kani!bal:
that is extremely unforteanute.. sorry. You can still use sprint firmware and sim unlock the device, it's a poor substitution but a workaround.

So my order for the Motoshare projector got goofed up. The had a completely wrong address. I called Motorola, and they fixed it. However I received two emails for my rebate. Sure enough, I have two of the Motoshare projectors! Thanks Motorola!
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Flash728:
How you liking the projector? I've tried finding a local store to check it out. But no one has one that works or is charged. And I had gotten denied for my first promo request. I called them and they fixed it, I just got the shipped email. Also do you know if it's the same model # as the retail one or is it like a cheapened version of it?

i have the Canadian A5 2017 (SM-A520W) and recently got the nougat this week.

I was always hesitant to update because i feel manufactures purposely slow there phones down but decided to bite the bullet.

I tested my phone on 6.0.1 multiple times and averaged around 785-795 for single and 4250-4300 multi

With 7.0 im averaging 570 single and 3100 multi

Single core score by about 200 and multi core down by over 1000!

i was expecting a little decrease but this is ridiculous

If anyone else can share their geekbench results id appreciate it. i might have to factory reset my phone and see if that helps. thats a last resort though.

****EDIT**** factory reseting phone DID fix the issue. performance is back to normal and slightly higher.

Thanks for your help guys!

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] paknex:
Hi there,

I've got a problem with my Moto Z Play. It is unlocked with lastest unofficial TWRP, bootloader unlocked and running lastest Lineage OS ROM.

I already checked these type of threads:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/help/booting-recovery-automatically-t3654698$

which gives a solution (doing some fastboot commands) but it doesn't work for me.

So I tried to do this in fastboot mode

" adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot "

But it didn't change anything. I need to boot on fastboot mode and then push power button while selecting start to get it runs on ROM.

Is anyone has a solution?

I faced the same issue ... Tried many things but simple solution worked like a charm

Flash twrp ... Re boot phone ... Don't boot to system instead boot to recovery ..then shutdown from recovery ... That's it twrp is permeant and phone boots to system normally

Tried this but still boots to recovery. Thanks for the idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mediocrates:
Yep, it sucks when reviews aren't standardized, and you get information that isn't relevant for comparison to everyday usage. Replace that fuse with a circuit breaker though. We like keeping senior members around, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] liquidguru:
I believe I read that you cannot get the max brightness by setting the value to max. It can only be achieved by having brightness set to auto and then taking the phone outside in sunlight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
There goes my idea of growing tomatoes in my basement in winter, using Note screen as a light source. And iphone x should have similar brightness, since it's amoled and probably made by Samsung, but who cares. As far as why Display Mate choose to measure maximum brightness the way they do, would be best to ask them, but as long as they test every display the same I don't see the problem. And please don't get me started on tests favoring one product over the other, we've been comparing Apples to Oranges for ages. BTW GSM arena lists maximum brightness of N8 at 850 max auto and v30 at 616 max auto, with non auto mode at 412 and 414, respectively, high enough for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] puremind:
This is not enough. As per my post the following conditions must be fulfilled:

Brightness on auto

Direct sunlight

Content as an Average Picture Level of 1%, i.e., equivalent to 1% white on a black background

For most content (video and web browsing, where APL is between 40% and 90%) max brightness will be between 550cd/m² and 650cd/m² in automatic mode in direct sunlight.

I will be providing the 1% APL measurement on the V30 as soon as I have been able to get my hands on a unit. In fact I will provide the values at each APL so we have a full comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] puremind:
But you see, that's precisely the problem. They only ever test Samsung OLED displays. Go to their web page, you will find only the Samsung OLED displays and Apple LCD displays. I honestly have my suspicions that DisplayMate are in bed with Samsung. They always have a Samsung display review ready before the first hands on reviews even appear on time for launch. Testing displays and writing a complete display review takes time. And they hardly ever test anything else. They essentially work as a fame machine for Samsung.

I called them out on their methodology issue a few years ago (when they weren't even indicating the APL %) and they changed their methodology as a result. But in this review, they only give a brightness range in auto mode without showing the APL breakdown, so if you read it without knowledge of display calibration it is easy to misunderstand. Nowhere is it explicitly mentioned that the top value of 1,240cd/m² is for the 1% APL.

The other issue is that EVEN if they end up adding reviews for the V30 and iPhone X, there is a time gap for already 2 months in which the entire press is being fooled and spreads misinformation, granting an Samsung unfair advantage.

I am not an Apple fan by any stretch of the imaginationl and I am equally annoyed when Apple make false claims about their phone (e..g., "The iPhone X will be much sharper than the iPhone 8 Plus - no it won't, pentile 1,125p is equivalent 919p non pentile), but as a product developer myself, nothing enrages me more than misinformation and false marketing claims.

Here is another Display comparison in max auto mode, which also shows above 600cd/m² for the LG V30 (higher than the S8 plus) and 420cd/2 in auto mode:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
If I had to make wild guess: Display mate is a website in business of promoting and selling their software. Since their software costs more than some monitors, they are probably targeting top end displays and most popular. I don't think they want to be review side, I think reviews are to attract largest amount people for least amount of money. And it works, I would never knew about them, if it wasn't for their reviews of Note displays. And why Samsung? They may have some deal with them. I just read article about some professional photographer doing shoot in India, using iphone x as his main camera. Well, iphone x won't be available for sale for another month, can we assume he works for Apple ?

But I know Display Mate reviewed Pixel and iphone, so they may be going after largest audience with deeper pockets. And I'm not trying to offend you in any way, but I think you over reacting about non issue: As long as maximum brightness reaches certain minimum level, let's say 350-400, it doesn't really matter anymore. I have never used my phone at maximum level and it's one spec I wouldn't care much about. I think historically amoled screens had problems with high brightness and my only take from all this would be, brightness is no longer their issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] puremind:
If sunlight contrast didn't matter, then no one would care about contrast in a normal environment. The whole point of OLED I to have better contrast for a more crisp picture. But because sunlight washes out blacks, the only way to restore a form of contrast is via brightness. Contrast outside is not even on the level of LCD's inside, so it does matter a lot. If contrast didn't matter, we would all still be using LCD's...The "less than bright in the sun" issue is sister issue of "less than black in the dark" - both are contrast issues (sunlight contrast ratios are still pretty bad).

I can't say if DisplayMate'S CEO is good friend with folks at Samsung, but I have been following them for several years now, and all of their reviews are written in a way that is misleading and plays down important issues of the displays. To me this is not how a scientific-minded person thinks and writes. Not to mention the person who writes the reviews must be color blind because of their complete lack of creative design skills and poor choice of colors. This is not how you sell software. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeblade:
Sorry.. who are you? Pass
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
Sunlight contrast matters only in Sun, for all other times (99% for me) I do care about contrast in normal environment also, sorry. Sure, whole point of OLED is better contrast AND crisper colors AND wider gamut coverage And lower power consumption (at lower screen brightness, so pretty much everywhere except in the Sun) AND no backlight leakage, like when you're reading in bed at night, but who am I to argue.

And according to Display mate and the way they measure brightness N8 has the highest. Case closed? , . I also don't understand your logic: you're following them for years because you don't like nor disagree with them??? If I don't like something, I don't waste my time on it. BTW I have dark theme on my N8 and white text on black screen is let's say 10% white maybe if text full screen, probably less if not full screen? So maybe we agree to disagree, but I don't see anything wrong using 1% for testing purposes, its closer to my real life screen than 50% and measuring it at 100% I think is as useless as you think it is at 1%.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] puremind:
That's not the right way to improve the world, to sit by and watch or walk away at everything that you don't like. When people do that, greedy companies with inferior products steal 92% of the profits in their industry, world leaders from the US and North Korea start insulting each other and who knows what else may happen.

It has never been my attitude in life and I will continue to debunk misinformation where it exists. We need whistleblowers and defenders of fairness and truth. People who speak up.

No the case is not closed, the N8 is not twice as bright compared to the LG V30 and iPhone X. We have no measurements on retail units for either phone.

Please point me to a single serious review of the iPhone X's display or any piece of evidence that validates the claim that the N8 has twice the brightness of the iPhone X. Until then, popular Youtubers such as MKBHD should refrain from making inaccurate, misleading statements. Trust me, it is inaccurate.

I will refute inaccurate statements and false marketing claims wherever they may exist. It is an insult to my profession. As product developers I have to believe that people are in it for the product, not or the clever marketing. Don't forget that capitalism works at its best in a situation of perfect and fair competition, and one of the pillars of perfect competition is having perfect information.

Pessimists are idealists who no longer dare to hope.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
Finally we agree on something, I hate Apple for ripping consumers off and pocketing most of the cell phone industry profits (is it 92% now? WOW) and prize Display Mate for not sitting in Apple's pocket.

I have no idea who claimed N8 has double the brightness of iphone x, did they even test it yet? and I don't think it matters anyway, since I believe iphone X will have Samsung amoled screen (I don't think Apple makes amoled screens) and therefore should be good. If you want to be Don Quichotte, good luck, but I think we are beating death horse here and I don't think I have anything else to add to the topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] freeza:
MKBHD is annoying and frequently gets things wrong. How he has so many subscribers is beyond my level of comprehension.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] EarlZ:
I always keep in mind that when Display Mate posts a review, they only have a sample size of 1 and a cherry picked unit and a possibility of paid work from manufacturers. Sometimes I read the entire article but just for fun.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] puremind:
Telling the truth actually works. I write the same on every web site and YouTube video that has incorrect information on products.

ZTE will have Sharp OLED on their Axon 9.

Have you seen the anti-Apple sentiment that has emerged as a of people speaking up to criticize the many things that Apple do wrong?

In the past people were saying "iOS is so energy efficient, more than Android". Now they say "Apple can't build in 3K displays because of their poor battery performance, so they have to stick with 1125p displays".

In the past people were saying Apple have the fastest CPU's. Now they are saying "For most of the year Android have the fastest CPUs, in a couple of weeks Huawei will have the fastest CPU".

In the past people were saying "Apple are so good they account for most of the profits in the smartphone industry". Today they are saying: "No wonder Apple capture most of the profits in the Smartphone industry - they offer lesser battery and display resolution and charge you more for it - you even have to pay 85 USD extra for fast charging".

As early as 2013, I was arguing against many Apple fans that their toylike bezels are a drag for a company that used to pride themselves on one handed usability and they responded that no one buys according to bezels. Today everyone agrees that bezelless phones are the future and Apple fans rush to buy the iPhone X.

In the past people were saying, the human eye cannot see beyond the retina display's level of sharpness. Today they are saying the iPhone X's pixel density is only one third of what human vision can resolve and other phones have much better sharpness.

If not for people like me, Apple would continue to make disproportionate amounts of money on the back of credulous users. Our rant videos on the iPhone X will have an impact. It may be small in the beginning but there will be a snowball effect.

Capitalism always wins - give people perfect information and the market shares balance each other out in the end. :)

As a product developer, it is my job to anticipate needs people didn't know they had and to uncover weaknesses in existing products. It helps drive competition and consumers benefit in the end because companies are pushed to work harder. :)

Millennials admire a successful 22 year old because they project themselves.

Also, his reviews never choose a particular phone as he seemingly uses every phone as his daily driver, so it doesn't push away fans of a specific brand. Except brands that don't bring much viewership like HTC or Essential Phone.

I love how he kept praising large bezel phones like the iPhones and the Pixel and Nexus devices (he has gigantic hands) and bezels were never a topic for him, and now suddenly ever since the Mi Mix it has become his new manta.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jason504:
He made a video about the Note 8 and said the battery life is poor. He said you only get 3 1/2 to 4hr of SOT. I get 5 1/2 to 6 every day and I am not the only one. So take what he says with a grain of salt.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] puremind:
There we have it:

"Speaking of, the S8 pair pretty much blew us away and we expected a lot from the Note8 as well. Now, we did manage to get to a brightness as high as 850 nits in Auto mode by shining a light in to the ambient light sensor, but that is still a bit lower than the 870 nits of the S8+. In fact, at 100% brightness in Adaptive mode, without any input from the light sensor, the Note8 appears to run a bit dimmer than its S8 sibling as well. The difference is small, especially when you consider that the Note8 will happily go into overdrive when exposed to the sun outdoors, so we didn't really notice a real-life difference when using the phones normally. Still, we couldn't exactly confirm DisplayMate's recent claim of a record-shattering 1,200 nit reading on the Note8."
