[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xCasper:
Hey, for starters I'm on the TMobile variant and I have to say, this is a damn good phone so far.

Whenever I'm in their retail store, they'll have the Note 8 next to an S8+, and for some reason the display on the S8+ always looks brighter, such as brighter whites over the Note 8. Unfortunately when I try to compare the display settings, they both crash, and on my personal Note 8, it still seems to be slightly dimmer even at max everything. I do have a theory that it has to do with the Adaptive AMOLED setting because often times the whites look super white on the Note 8...

Or I could just be crazy. In any case, have any of you noticed what I'm talking about or am I onto something here?

P.S.

I read slightly on the DisplayMate entry and it says that the Note 8 is 22% brighter than the S8, but I couldn't find anything about it for the S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ShrekOpher:
S8 and s8+ use the same screen. Also the note 8 is the brightest phone on the market. It just is designed to not stay at 1240 nits all the time, to protect the screen and save battery life.

Read below from display mate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xCasper:
Ahh, that makes perfect sense. I just wanted to double check I didn't have any problems. So far I absolutely adore this phone.

Feels good.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
I flashed Snoke kernel and it appeared to flash fine but the phone refused to boot. No problem I thought. I grabbed the latest factory image and tried to flash it. It gets all the way to writing user data then it fails saying "FAILED (remote: Check device console)". I believe I have the latest fastboot drivers. I can get into Fastboot mode so I'm hoping I'm only soft bricked. Any help would be appreciated. I'm no newbie to this but I'm probably missing something. I've been at it for hours now and looking for any advice.

I also noticed that during the flash I got another error saying "FAILED (remote: GetVar Variable Not Found)"

Thanks in advance!

what Rom can i use from the the Sprint Samsung Note 4 Forum, to make work on the the Sprint N9100P and if needed what data fixes or anything else do i need please and thank you
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stryke_the_Orc:
There are two problems with asking this question.

What works is entirely subjective. You don't use your phone the same way someone else would or have the same apps installed. 99% of the time, this doesn't make any difference, but that 1% is when someone comes into a thread and complains that their phone no longer has some obscure "feature" that only they use.

What needs fixing... If you read the threads, the developers are generally very good at listing features that don't work, or need more testing.

I know that this thread has been open a while, and you've had no replies. I'm replying mostly to someone who comes along and has the same questions. I am going to close this thread now. Happy ROM hunting.:highfive:
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcdd2015:
Hello,

hope someone can help me with the mess i created. I have spent the last few days reading here but nothing seems to help.

What happened so far. I purchased a Mate 8. Downloaded the SRK toolkit and unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and root. So far everything went fine. I booted into TWRP and was smart enough to format the phone in TWRP in the hope to straight after that flash the official 3 ROM files. However, this failed and i was stuck with a phone without anything on it.

Next step was to download the italian knife, i picked unbrick and then "continue i have all the files..." which works fine

[IMG="italian knife"]https://ibb.co/c1VZtG[/IMG]

After a reboot the phone is stuck on "your device has been unlocked..." "Your device is booting now.." forever.

Any idea what else i can try? I have spent days mocking around with it and reading tutorials so far.

TIA

- Which 3 rom files you mean ?

Thanks for the reply.

[Off-topic] dcoops717:
Hi guys, how's it going? I'm new to the forum, and also new to developing and modding android phones. So I kinda have a problem and was wondering if any of you had a solution in mind. Well, I recently bought a new HTC desire 555. I unlocked the bootloader and was attempting to root it when it got stuck in boot loop. There wasn't any twrp recovery files for my middle, so I got one that was the closest. After a few tries of it failing to boot into recovery mode with the twrps I downloaded, I thought maybe I needed to erase the cache with fastboot. That didn't work either. So then I erased recovery using

and that didn't seem to work either. At this point I was really tired and don't remember if I did anything else. Since I can't seem to find a stock rom (not that it would help much considering I couldn't root my phone) I thought I would pick some of your brains. Any ideas? It's nearly identical to he 626s, I have the stock Tom for that model but I can't get HTC sync manager to recognize my phone anymore (just need to bombard it with driver installations). Also, I tried to boot into recovery mode with different twrp image files which obviously didn't work). Anyways, any ideas?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
1. The volume button and power button are too close together. The amount of times I went to reach the power button to turn off the display and accidentally took a screenshot by pressing power and volume down together.

2. The back is way too slippery. If the phone is on my bed and and leaning on the mattress slightly, the phone moves. Even just tapping the screen to navigate makes the phone slowly move away. Have to keep putting the case back on.

3. Gloves don't work with the front mounted sensor button. Not really blaming Huawei for that, but if out and about and gloved, you can't press the home button as the sensor won't work. I disabled my navigation bar which is the main reason I got this phone for full screen real estate. Thank God I can add the Navigation Floating Dock on the Quick Tiles so I can enable and use that when gloved and out.

4. Battery is good but not what I was expecting. Same as my Mate 9 battery life and yet I thought the Kirin 970 was 50% more efficient than the 960.

5. Wish camera had more slow motion speeds.

6. Persistent Android System notification but that's an Oreo thing and not a Huawei thing.

Having said all that I love this phone and it's the best phone I ever had.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jon St:
Only had mine two days so more annoyances will probably come to light.

Agree about the power/volume button positioning.

Also since I've got a glass screen protector on it, it's a bit harder to access the sensor (have to press down into it) which is a bit annoying since it's my main means of navigating back and home as well as unlocking.

Infact the same sensor/button being used for both back (short press) and home (long press) is also awkward as I frequently do one when I mean to do the other.

Finally, it seems a bit complicated seemingly with multiple apps and settings for the same thing (though I am coming from Windows Mobile which might seem simpler as it didn't have many apps)

Agree great phone though (probably my best ever also)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
I just got my mate 10 (alp-l29,black,4gb) from UAE.

1. Inability to theme notification/quick toggle area - stays black no matter what theme you apply. Looks out of place considering all notifications except spotify are light/white themed.

2.home button with 3 functions is not as easy to manage as I thought, but I will have to get used to it, since i aint giving away screen real estate and use on screen buttons on this monster.

3. Display settings in regard of View Mode and Text Size are not perfect, meaning that View Mode setting does not change size of text for notifications and they just look to big unless you use small text, but then again small text and default viewing area makes other areas look to big like whatsapp, chrome and so on. the best setting for perfect view View Mode - Small, Text Size - Normal, while taking into account that in such combo your notifications will be large/too large to fit notification are when you receive 3-4 messages/emails.

Otherwise I love this phone. Its fast, lag free. Kinda fat, but in combo with the weight, I like how it sits in my hand.

For the first time I quible only about thickness. Anything over 8mm feels a little thick...
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
Well to update my post, I just tried with a very thin pair of unlined black leather gloves I own and in fact the sensor button DOES work while gloved. So I can press it to go back and forth and navigate as usual. It does not work with fingerprint recognition apps/phone unlocking of course, but once you are in, they do work.

FYI they are a UK brand: Dents Extra Soft 3000 silk lined gloves but I ripped out the silk lining to make them unlined and for more flexibility and thinness and to work with the sensor. ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
UPDATE.

I found a solution to this issue where none of the combinations of View Mode and Text Size settings give you ideally looking system, meaning not too large or not too tiny. At default everything looks to large IMO and they should done better on qhd 6.0” screen. If not by default, view mode needs 5 not 3 steps.

So far the best I got is with this combo of settings:

1. View Mode and Text Size at Small;

2. Dpi @392 (under Developer Settings).

With this settings I believe the text size and viewing area is appropriate for qhd 6” screen.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
For me,

I simply hate the single button implementation. Especially for recent task action, sometimes it ends up detecting my swipe as a tap, and going back accidentally

If one button is indeed a must, then i prefer the Meizu style implementation, where i can simply swipe up from bottom screen to access recent.

Current huawei implementation is too slow to my liking, not to mention, its a waste of space, since we can actually put something next to the button
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] snachez:
I thikn the one button is great. but the beauty of android is that you can simply change to something like Nova Launcher and get this swipe-up-for-recents functionality :good:
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
Well that might be true if we are on home page,

But if we are still using an app, swiping up will only do scrolling :silly: , and the point of getting into recent screen is of course, for switching between app

Also,

I kinda expect by this time, huawei would already implement off screen gesture. At least for skipping song,

I mount my phone on my car center dash often, using maps and streaming spotify,

Without off screen gesture, its too troublesome, since i need to reach the phone while driving (not to mention its dangerous)

Because of this, now most of that job done by my Meizu Pro 7

They already implement "Knock & Draw" feature to launch app, so i dont see why they still cant get offscreen gesture

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
I overall like the phone but couple things

Camera is disappointing. Not as good as expecting. I do believe it's the software side letting it down. I was more impressed with the pixel 1 and HTC u11 camera

Battery life could be better. It's good but should be better with the battery size. Again seems needs more software tweaks. Inside just browsing with WiFi I can get up to 7-8 hours SOT. it just seems when I'm at work. I use a little sat nav and mobile data and a bit of music streaming it drains quickly. Just as quick as phones with smaller battery's

The software. I like emui . I like it a lot more than I thought. But it definitely is a bit buggy here and there ..again software updates could improve this

Another really picky thing...even though I really can't notice this isn't a 2k screen and is 1080p and it's a gorgeous screen. It still would have been nice to have the option. Especially since all flagships at this price and above have 2k screens
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
I thought data limit is still there? In mobile data setting.

Or are we talking about different thing ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Shady282:
- I don't know... different people report different experience. I mean some people are getting a lot of SOT and some not. which is quite confusing.

- also, the same regarding the camera, some say it is amazing some say not that good, check this post, what do you think about it:

https://xdaforums.com/mate-10/how-to/mate-10-vs-pixel-2-xl-camera-t3707909

according to these pics, Mate 10 definitely wins over pixel 2 xl !

well these 2 things are what is going to make me buy the mate 10 in few days. so i was looking for reviews around the web to make up mind.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
The camera definitely isn't bad. But hasn't given me that wow factor. Especially in low light. Like I said I think after a couple software updates things will improve slot. No doubt the battery is good but could be better considering the Battery size
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] focacciabread:
I've switched from One Plus 2 to Mate 10 and I think the Mate 10 could use some gestures,like hold home button to lock the phone etc. Right now, it's just pressing the power button to lock the phone. Bugs me.

The other thing i've noticed is that, there's no dark theme on Mate 10, but there's dark theme on the Mate 10 pro. Besides, another thing that irks me is the fact that we can't mute the shutter sound in 3rd party apps even when you're in silent mode. Like if my phone is in silent mode and I want to send a pic using the whatsapp camera, i can't disable the sound.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
That's because the Mate 10 Pro has an OLED screen and white backgrounds consume more power, so they give you the option to use black backgrounds to save power. The standard Mate 10 has an LCD screen and white backgrounds be are not an issue.

I think no meanin for using 6 inch screen without enough real state. developers option cant change the notification area, statusbar icons which is very bad. changing the resolution or VIEWMODE is not small enough have consistency with the SMALLESTSIZE in the dev. options. WHY AM I CONSCERNED? koz this is the first thing i do on a new phone that is to CHANGE THE DPI. (plz know that the larger the number in Dev. options unders SMALLEST size the smaller the screen wud be)

SOLUTION.

root it, freeze the update app to protect the boorloader unlocked status, install the LE DPI CHANGE app which not only changes the DPI but also the resolutions. that took me 3 days to figure how i will make my phone look good with enough real estate. finally am pretty much fine.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
Can you be kind enough to share a screenshot of the smaller UI and notification area please?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
Please share your config. I am currently rocking View Mode - Small, Text Size - Small, because every other combination I have tried including manual DPI setting just don't look good overall in all areas of the phone, mainly because of large font. Small (VW)/Normal (Text) looks good in almost every area of the phone, except incoming notifications and notification area, where for example Spotify notification looks ugly as hell - large and everything out of place..

This view mode/text size **** is super-annoying, considering that the screen is QHD resolution. Even my OP5 with FHD resolution looked better in a certain text size / view size combination. Here, I can't find one. Either too tiny or too large.
