I use the app "Automate" to do various chores on my phone, such as turning off my bluetooth radio when I leave home. I highly recommend it to anyone who has interest. Having bought the PH-1, I decided to play with some time-lapse videography. This is fairly easy to do in Automate, as it has the functionality to take pictures (and wait between) built-in. I can use either the primary camera or the selfie camera, and then stitch the pictures together in post to make the video.

My problem is the 360 camera. I

so

want to experiment with the 360 camera, but I am having some issues.

1) First, the camera seems to turn off when the Essential Camera App is not active. Does anyone know how to override this?

2) When I am configuring Automate. It does not sense the 360 camera. I am not sure how the app detects cameras, or if it does at all. After all, when was the last time you had a phone with something other than two cameras? It may be easiest as a programmer to just assume, and ignore the corner cases. But I am going to operate on the assumption it is possible to get this to work. In the app, if you set the "Camera" variable to 1, you get the primary camera, and if you set it to 2, you get the selfie. The obvious thing is to try 3 for the 360 camera, but this does not work. Neither does trying 0. Is there anyone who is both an owner of a PH-1 and a competent user of Automate that might have any ideas? Personally, I suspect if I can achieve step one above, this problem will come into greater focus. It will either be detected, or I will have enough information to go to the Automate community with requests. Right now though I suspect it is easier to find someone here with Automate experience than going there looking for someone with the PH-1.

Thanks for helping out!

I've never used automate, but I assume the "take picture" function you are using is independent.

Try setting automate to open up the essential cam, and then "take picture". The camera app has to be coded to read the external usb camera.

Hey everyone.

I'm having trouble with the CF auto root on my wife's Samsung C5 Pro. I've read every post that I could find, watched every youtube video that I found relevant and still no success. Hopefully someone can help me here.

The reason I want the phone rooted is that the damn thing doesn't work on the American T-Mobile LTE bands and I found multiple threads on how to enable virtually any Band --> once the phone is rooted. So at step 1: fail!

I started by enabling developer mode, OEM unlock, USB debugging and installation of apps from unknown sources. I downloaded the latest CROM service (1.0.6), installed it and got the message that the bootloader is now unlocked and I can install custom OS. Great so far. I also made sure FRP is unlocked.

I then went to firmware.mobi and downloaded the Boot Image (.TAR.MD5), Recovery Image (.TAR.MD5) and the CF-Auto-Root for my phone. In my case Build MMB29M.C5010ZHU1AQG5.

Shutdown the phone and booted in download mode.

Phone says:

ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)

PRODUCT NAME: SM-C5010

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

FRP LOCK: OFF

CROM SERVICE : OFF

WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)

RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1

RP SWREV: K 0, S 0

SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE

download mode !!

Then I started Odin v3.12.03, selected the image.tar.md5 in "AP" and clicked start. After about 5 seconds: FAIL. Phone screen says:

SECURE CHECK FAIL : cache

Odin3 says:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<ID:0/005> RQT_CLOSE !!

<ID:0/005>

<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

After that, the phone would not boot anymore.

Going back into download mode after shutdown, I was able to upload the Boot Image and Recovery image I downloaded from firmware.mobi and the phone works fine. I also downloaded the complete stock rom and I can upload that with Odin as well.

I also tried CROM service 1.0.4, Odin 3.10, different CF-auto-root settings, factory reset, cache wipe,etc. , all with the same result. Everytime I try to upload THAT with Odin it fails, stock firmware works.

Can anybody help me getting this phone unlocked? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

The edge lights up when I'm looking at my phone, but I'd love to have the edge display replace the LED dot notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] canadoc01:
Just picked up this phone a few days ago.

Overall love the build. Am coming from s7 edge.

Concerned about the screen though.

The s7 edge seemed yellowish in basic mode but the other modes were not. Adaptive display was very nice and adjustable too.

Note 8 screen temperature is very warm. Whites look yellow brownish. They don't change between the different modes.

Adaptive display is the only fixand even there it requires several adjustments.

For me they best whites are with temp set to warm and then the green dialed down to about 20-25% of max. That gives me best colors.

However feel like I should have better whites on the other screen modes.

I find if I look at the screen about 20*of axis then the screen whitens up.

Do others find the same our is mine defective? Trying to decide if I should keep this or wait for the LG V30 which night be better to manage size wise.

Take it to the store and compare side by side, make sure the settings and brightness are the same and decide from there. Sending mine back.

Have you made sure the Blue Light Fliter is off?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Is Warm supposed to be a slight yellow hue? I thought.

Warm on my Note 8 is pink hue .I have mine set to adaptive, with *#15987# reddish tint set to minus 9 and it looks good. Also, the Basic mode in display does nothing for the color saturation like it did in previous Galaxy devices. Still looks over saturated. I assume this is their new red oled panels LOL

OP , try and post some pics of your issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] canadoc01:
Will submit pics tomorrow.

Blue light not on.

I think my eyes will adapt over time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] canadoc01:
Entering the number you mentioned brings up a color balance test. Does that change anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myechophone:
Which test is this? I think my phone seems to have the same tinting problem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
The color balance test helped mine. Wife's Note 8 was already set at -3 ,mine was zero and changed it to -9 which lessened the pink hue. That with adaptive display and it's settings also reduced pink to an extent where mine looks good to my fussy eyes now.

Can one did this to reduce green and if so which number combo to bring it up
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
It's not a test, you press a number and it in turn changes the red tint value on the display. Just the red.

I also didn't see a difference initially, I think try it adaptive mode then you'll see a difference.

I'm a home theatre enthusiast so I've done a few basic measurements with my calibration equipment. I'm not terribly interested in doing anymore testing than this until we get system wide color management controls/options as there is no point. Any critical grading will be done with other programs and almost always on a computer via programs like BlackMagic Resolve and the like.

***PRE-Post edit, lol***

I decided I'll make a separate thread with everything I was going to post regarding the display modes. I wasn't planing on making a big post but my OCD got the better of me :P

I figured it would be more useful to others in general as a separate thread, rather than being in a thread about screen tinting.

I'll reply back in here when I finish making it (it'll take a bit).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] myechophone:
I went to the nj samsung store and showed the tint. The rep turned the color to warm (far right) and that seemed to be working for me in adaptive display.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] canadoc01:
Not sure what i should do. The other issue is that even a few degrees tilt of the phone from straight on view causes a color shift. Things get much whiter from basic or other pre set modes. In fact if that was the color all the time would be happy.

My s7 edge is just as or even more yellow except cinema mode where more blue white. There is no color shift at all until about 30*.

Note 8 at 5 or 10* will cause a shift.

I hope store will let me return it for this reason as there is no dead pixels or other hardware issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
I hope you're able to swap it, at least. Everyone's eyes are different so what some may see you might not. If tinkering around with the advanced color options has satisfied you I hope you find another unit that does.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
I hate screen tints. Some notice them, some don't. I've had complaints about screen tints on most electronic devices. Some people see them and some don't. When I return a device, I don't give a reason. I just make sure to return it within the return period. If pressed, I'll just say that I don't like how the screen looks and leave it at that.

I used to be really aggressive about returning devices with screen flaws that I could see. Then I realized that there really is no perfect screen and just about every screen has some flaw, if you look for it. Nature of the game, I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
I have mine on adaptive and it looks amazing. I just leave it on that. Seems this is the best looking setting. Don't know why you would use the others.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] canadoc01:
I don't mind how it looks in adaptive mode. I can get whites how i like bit colors are oversaturated.

Issue for me is the color shift from more yellow tint to more blue at minimal offset.

If i could adjust screen temperature in photo mode would be better.

Will demo screen in store to see what I will do.

I realize it sounds picky but at retail 1300 for a phone like this my expectations are high
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
Doesn't sound picky at all. $1300 is a lot of cash. You have to be happy with your purchase. If not, you have to try and make it right.

Riddle me this, the word "warm" in display terms , what does this mean?

I was under the impression it meant short wavelength is color ,eg yellow .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] canadoc01:
Agree with all you say. However the color shift when tilting the screen is huge. My s7 edge required a tilt of 30*to see the color change. Here only a few degrees makes the yellowish basic mode turn white. Happens in all directions. It is hard to get used to a temperature when it switches with such little movement of the screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kamikaze_Ice:
You pretty much nailed it.

We see more greens than any other part of the spectrum. The only two primaries left are red and blue.... Thus, warm or cool.

Fun fact: If you're into metal you may know of "traditional" black metal. This is described as cold, frozen or like a blizzard. The "traditional" classification refers not only to the regions where it first because VERY popular (Norway, Sweden, that part of Europe), but also the trademark tremolo picking.

Back when I first heard it (black metal tremolo) I thought I was listening to something recorded live at an outdoor concert and thought "damn these guys have some hardcore dedication for playing when it's so cold the guitarist can't stop shaking but keep's the show going. Shortly after I learned the truth and immediately got rid of that "crap".

At that time I knew nothing outside of what the local radio stations would play (Metalica, Slayer, Megadeth, etc. The usual stuff. It's thanks to the pre-Metallica era of Napster that my eyes, and ears, were opened to all this music I'd never hear on any radio station for any genre of music). ~15 years later--early last year--I woke up and spontaneously had the desire to try and understand why some people like that crap (any "blackend", "black" "death" and all extreme/brutal metal). I absolutely hated any of that in the past and but now I really enjoy it. Understanding that vocals is an instrument and NOT lyrics was the turning point. My love of Cthulhu/lovecraftian mythos and Middle-Earth also helped (started with bands like Summoning (Lord of the Rings concept albums) and The Great Old Ones (Cthulhu/Lovecraft concept band).

Sorry, going off topic here :P
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Interesting observation noted. If in basic mode, turn on blue light filter, then with the slider adjust the blue light opacity or whatever it called to min value. The basic mode now looks less pink and cooler somewhat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] canadoc01:
This is true but if you then goo into display settings toy will see that you are no longer in basic mode
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] canadoc01:
Color shift goes from more yellow tint to more blue /white or cooler.

Actually prefer it to the face in color.

The only way to change the color temp it balance is in adaptive display mode. Unfortunately this mantra screen easy over saturated. Too bad they don't have a user defined setting where we can tweak saturation as well as screen temp and color.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I see no yellow on my panel, it's either red or blue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] canadoc01:
Well when I comparedmy screen to the stores demos at 4 different site's it was obvious that on a white background my screen was much warmer. Whites seemed now yellowish. Tilting screen too left or right a few degrees would make screen much white.

In adapt display the store demos without adjustments were much more blue then mine.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] eggy_maxx:
I just found out when I'm changing the screen brightness, the screen temperature is jumping around slightly. This is very very subtle, you have to move the slider very slowly, more noticeable on white background.

I'm not sure if this happen on my unit only or all note8 experience the same, could you guys test this on your phone?

Now dial

*#15987#

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

Guys try these settings. I had a very noticeable green/yellow tint when viewing anything with white on my Samsung note 8. I returned my first note 8 cause of this issue and my replacement note 8 suffers from the exact white color balance issue. So I suspect these settings will work for your note 8 if your whites seem yellow/ green. I noticed the brightness of my display has increased marginally with these settings. ( unless it's in my head).

I also compared both my note 8's to the display units at stores and the display units look superior. I think Samsung display units use higher quality of parts in display our have the brightness playing significantly higher than our note 8s.

Hi All,

Today when I went to the Samsung shop, I've noticed that the Note 8 demo unit display is brighter and sharper compared to mine although its the same exact setting (no blue filter, same resolution, max brightness, adaptive display). So I've sent in my phone for diagnose. Fast foward, 45 mins later I have received a message that my phone has been fixed and I found out that they didnt do anything and just factory reset my phone. WAIT WHAT?!!!

So I brought the staff again and ask them to compare my unit with the demo unit, acknowledging the differences he went scrambling around for an answer with his colleague.

Here is the interesting part... the bull**** he told me that demo set is from Korea, so what? Our local Singapore set is inferior from korea? And he told me further that My display is within Samsung acceptable QC.. I Give up

Left set is the Demo set, Right set it mine

"Adaptive" Display "Usage Patterns"

These are some key words to remember. An ADAPTIVE display, "adapts", based on your usage, how much light (or lack of), you use your phone under. The sun, and it's position in the sky. How often you use your phone indoors vs. outdoors, etc. There are a myriad of reasons why your Display will almost always look a touch different than any other person who uses an Adaptive Display.

Sorry if my message came off as rude, not my intention, I just meant..... it LITERALLY says "Adaptive".
