[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Syndrome666:
I'm not familiar with how Knox works, never owned a Samsung phone, but can't you just flash through fastboot and custom recovery rather than Odin? Or are Samsung devices different from other Android devices?

In any case, I suspect the reason for the s9+feeling a bit slower than essential, may be the screen size. I remember Nexus 6 feeling a bit slower in animations department over Nexus 5 despite Nexus 5 being the less powerful of the two.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
They don't have any fastboot, it is its own strange beast. You need to use odin. They managed to get root on it, but there wasn't a whole lot otherwise. The eynos versions you can fully unlock, but in US and Canada all we have are the qualcomm ones.

For me the s8 was super fast, and the camera is seriously magnificent, but I get so bored without root (you need to do some serious stuff to gain it, risk bricking it and your battery life from that point onward will only ever charge to 80%, even if you flash back to stock) and knew that after the oreo update I'd never see another update again.

I'm not sure what made me decide to trade, I got an offer for an essential phone plus cash and jumped on it. At first I regretted it, but once I flashed RR I began to love the phone.

I'm on P beta now, and knowing that I'll be up to date for a long time makes it all worthwhile. I can deal with this phones minor "quirks". I miss a couple things about the s8, but I'd still completely happy with this phone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Syndrome666:
Indeed it is, never knew they didn't include a bootloader.

I actually dismissed the essential phone when it first came out as a phone with a gimmick to see how much bezel they can get rid off, but once I tried it out in person, I couldn't put it down. The thing really grew on me after handling it for a few minutes.

How's P beta? Is it stock essential firmware?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
I did the same thing, until I really played around with one in store. The design is stunning, it isn't often I'd say a phone is sexy hahaha

Yep the official essential P beta. It has been awesome honestly. Very smooth, and I have yet to encounter any serious bugs (the odd minor bug/quirk, but nothing that bothers me in any way). The gestures are strange for me having been on android since 2008, but I'm slowly getting the hang of things/getting used to it.

For a dev beta, it is very solid.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Syndrome666:
I'll give it a look on YouTube I guess, pretty comfy with RR Oreo. Ashwin just pushed a tester May update, available to anyone willing to test it. It's a bit messy in settings atm, but runs like butter. Seems to be missing fingerprint unlock in security. I know it may have been my fault too as I was trying to figure out the A/B slot puzzle, so a lot of overlap flashing occurred until I got both partitions setup with build 3 and build 4 tester on each respective slot with Magisk and everything set up to my liking. I read somewhere in the forums on how to wipe fingerprint files up file manager and root access, but now that I'm looking for that thread, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Would you happen to know where these files are located or the thread that explains the location of the files?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
On aosip now.

I've noticed my Bluetooth connection dropping (audio cutting out) when watching YouTube or doing anything that loads data from the internet. Touch response is a toss up. Sometimes it doesn't register my presses or when I scroll down it'll fling up or come to an abrupt stop. Basically single handed thumb scrolling is bad, phone doesn't like those short scroll flings. You gotta do a long motion, no flicking. On occasion scrolling feels like wading through mud. Signal is bad, my u11 doesn't fluctuate this much (not even moving, it would go from 2 -> 0 -> 1 -> 3 bars).

Phone feels good and looks pretty though.

Seems like touch sensitivity setting makes a big difference. At 6, scrolling diagonally is jittery. At 4/5 it's okay. But then response time takes a hit. Just doesn't feel good compared to my u11... And how many times now has this phone randomly clicked something else when I'm holding my phone with my left and typing with my right.

Just tested flicking up and down on my u11 and it's responsive, goes up and down as my thumb does. Essential absolutely fails at that at lower touch screen settings. So you get either terrible responsiveness or jitteriness. I'm gonna see how it goes at 10 smoothness.

Smoothness set to 10, swiping on Gboard is impossible. It constantly cuts short and does two words when your aiming for one.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] garywojdan81:
I'm on stock 8.1 May security patch, not even rooted at this point, and I have none of those issues at all.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
The screen thing is hardware so it 110% exists for every person with an essential phone. Maybe you don't notice it, but it's there.

That being said, I'm used to it so it doesn't bother me anymore. I still love this phone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mwahahaa:
As far as perception goes if you don't notice it, it doesn't exist...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
I don't notice atoms, do they not exist? How about oxygen?

As per law, ignorance is not excuse or exception
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mwahahaa:
You know those things exist only because you have been taught that they are so, and you trust that the information is true.

If science told you that we breathe Nitrogen instead of Oxygen, your experience would not change one bit.

You have been told that there is a hardware issue causing judder, and you see judder.

I have no judder. If you want to assume that I just don't notice it because you have been told it must be there, that is of no relevance to me.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
Yes but what makes that different from something that DOES exist and demonstrably so, but that you don't notice?

They are exactly the same lol.

Experience doesn't change except for the fact that it still exists. Things exist outside of your perception, unless you follow the view of solipsism, which is an extremely nihilistic form of thought.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mwahahaa:
Perception is all that matters in many situations. Every day there are things your mind perceives that are not objectively accurate. In this case, one person's visual systems may detect something on the PH-1 screen that another's will not. Claiming that people who don't see judder are deluded is misguided, because as far as I am concerned it is not there, and someone telling me it is does not make it true from my experience. I will grant you that Essential has acknowledged that there is a hardware issue that can explain why SOME PEOPLE detect judder. However, many genuinely don't see anything and to them it may as well not exist at all. This is not life or death, so deep philosophical debate isn't really necessary here in my opinion.

If a bear farts in the woods, but no one is there to hear it, did the tree really fall?

Wait a sec...

If a tree falls in the forest, but no one is there to smell it, did the bear really....nvm, I give up
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
Have you tried comparing the phone with another one?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mwahahaa:
Yes, I went from an LG G4 to the PH-1 and didn't notice any differences in terms of scrolling. I have looked closely as I know some are really unhappy about it, but I just don't see it and I know many others are the same.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] garywojdan81:
So, because it exists for you, then it must exist for everyone?

You're assuming that every batch of every component is exactly the same because the manufacturing process is static; that there is no possibility of performance deviation. Or that the possibility of getting a marginal or subpar device doesn't exist, or that it doesn't exist for you. That is the definition of irony.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Subjective though it may be, this thing is much smoother and snappier than my Nexus 6 and my wife's S7 edge so that's all that matters to me.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
If you set the smoothness to 5 and flick/fling up and down (just keep going up and down), how responsive is it?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mwahahaa:
5 is actually the setting I have used along since I got the device about a month ago. Scrolling is very responsive and smooth, with no noticeable lag or stuttering (to me).
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
I just restarted my phone and the scrolling turned to **** :/ not as responsive as it was before the reboot
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
That's fine, I have the latest hardware Rev though and it's still there.

So they changed their display and drivers? Their digitizer?

Interesting. You'll have to point to me that info.

I think it's how people scroll. I notice it only when I'm slow scrolling with my finger staying on the screen instead of flicking. As I mentioned it doesn't bother me anymore since I'm used to it, and this is still my favorite phone ever, but I won't deny that it's there
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
This is my essential, touch response is pretty garbage

What's weird is 5 mins later it's actually back to normal and similar to my u11... Wtf. Hopefully I can figure this out
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dandan2980:
Looks like you are glidding softly with your fingers I tried on my device and if I glide them softly it doesn't register very well. But I don't ever see myself scrolling like that. Or it looks like the web site could possibly be the culprit.

But I think we need a better video of you scrolling through setting and swiping away your apps or something else not you just shipping up and down on a web page shows nothing.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
When it stalls out is what's wrong. After my phone corrected itself everytime I flicked up it went up and everytime I flicked down it went down, which is what it should do. When it was messed up like in the video my flicks weren't being registered right away.

This is it working normally

https://imgur.com/a/APC9mLa

This is after I reboot my phone

https://imgur.com/a/6PTOCm3

My phone's all ****ed up again but I think I might've made a connection. Video recording wasn't working when scrolling was good, after a reboot it was working again but scrolling is now garbage.

Eyy, phones back to normal after trying to record video (scrolling wise).

Audio went stupid, all distorted and quiet but after a reboot I can confirm trying to record something fixes the terrible scrolling on aosip

Narrowed it down and just going into the camera app fixes scrolling
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
It could be application related.

Try safe booting and see how the scrolling is.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
Hard to test in there since I use chrome to do my scroll test and chrome's disabled in safe mode. But at the very least I know how to consistently fix the problem. Just go into the camera app. It could be that the pixel camera ( and magisk module for it ) that I installed is the problem. Disabling the module doesn't seem to help though
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] coop3422:
This is the one I ordered: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06Y5FDXD4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . I haven't used it yet though, still in the box. I decided since I wasn't sure if I'd keep the PH-1, I didn't want to open it yet.

For anyone looking for a clear case though, I bought this one and really like it actually. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B077JGGL16/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have the phone fully setup and have been using it as my daily since Friday morning. Screen sensitivity while swyping was driving me nuts but I switched from swiftkey back to swype and that seems to have resolved it. The raised edge of the case makes swiping from the side inwards to open menus a little tough, but I’m used to an S8 is that’s part of it.

In terms of phone speed, the PH-1 is fast, I’m pretty impressed. I’ve noticed a little screen jiggle or whatever it’s called while scrolling websites, but overall not bad. The camera is pretty good if it’s bright out, honestly I it was better than expected. That said, if you’re in the shade or inside, it does struggle a bit. Images are noticeably darker, and have some grain. But this is coming from an S8 and Pixel XL, which both have fantastic cameras.

Battery life so far has been pretty damn good tbh. Battery life on my S8 really went south after the Oreo update. I was hesitant to do it because I read of it, but did anyways and ended up sad. I’ve done a full reset to no avail.

I bought my PH-1 part out of curiosity, part out of wanting to sell the S8 while it has the most value because I’m hoping the smaller Pixel 3 gets the small bezel treatment. Ultimately I was trying to find a 128GB Pixel XL, but found the PH-1 sooner. I just found a deal on a 128GB XL and ordered it, should be here next week. That’ll give me about a full week and a half to play with the PH-1, which should be enough for me to decide which of the 3 phones I want. If the XL that comes has good battery life, I feel that will ultimately be my choice.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rignfool:
The touch thing is there...

If you do not believe it... Go download and flash the 4-11 build of LOS... Right as blek got the wahoo power hals dialed in... You can see the difference... Even in your device...

Now... It is not the deal breaker for the major hindrance everyone says it is... But it is there
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Scarfa:
I had this problem and I solved it by opening the camera app once after every reboot. I know it sounds strange but this fixes it.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
Yeah, figured that out afterwards. Does this happen to everyone or is it only on aosip? Or is it something I installed?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Scarfa:
No it doesn't happen to everyone. When I first had the phone the problem didn't occur. But somewhere during my flashes when experimenting with roms the problem started. Now it doesn't matter what rom I use even official one it still happens. So I don't think the problem will go away even if you change roms. I'm on LOS now.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
God that's annoying. But I do think the phone wasn't performing smoothly when i first got it. that being the reason for me jumping between different ROMs for a week. Has anyone discussed a fix for this? There's gotta be a way to debug this...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Scarfa:
It's annoying but it's no big deal for me to open the camera app once. Although I do have a problem with playing back video i recorded with the camera, the video just freezes but I still hear the audio playing. Do you have this problem?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
Exact same problem. Are you on aosip?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Scarfa:
I'm on LOS 15.1 using Artz magisk gcam. Although I tried the official Essential camera and it has the same problem. Did you ever find a fix?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Cryosx:
Using the same module for my gcam. Never found a fix. Tried disabling the module to see if that was the culprit but still had scrolling issues. Kind of want to see what scrolling is like before installing anything but don't wanna have to set up my phone again.

Anyone else in the LOS thread mention this problem?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Syndrome666:
Thanks for the links. I actually already got a clear tpu case, one they recommend at the top of the list on Amazon. Not a fan of hard plastic clear cases, those tend to scratch/scuff and turn yellow over a few months time.

As for screen sensitivity, it's mostly fixed in Resurrection remix and possibly other custom ROMs. RR Oreo makes this device shine, if you like lots of fine tuning

For camera, Google cam works better than Essential's own stock camera. There are also a few customized ports on the latest Google pixel camera with extra goodies built in.

The way I see it, this device is highly experimental, but it also keeps getting better as it ages, more devs getting onboard and improving it. Almost feels like owning a Nexus device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ultrabenosaurus:
2 things:

SM-N950F vs. My phone (Galaxy Note8) audio output

Gear Sport preference reset

(links are to cropped screenshots)

First, I somehow have 2 audio devices available at all times and the default is the "wrong" one. Whenever I disconnect from an external audio device (plug-in earphones, car's bluetooth, etc) it defaults to "SM-N950F" which is just silent all the time and I have to manually change to "My phone (Galaxy Note8)" every time. If I open the Samsung Connect app manually neither audio device is listed anywhere for me to change the default or find any detailed info.

Second, no matter how many times I tell it not to show my Gear Sport in the notification panel it "forgets" this setting seemingly at random. Not a massive annoyance seeing it in the notification panel, but it is a massive annoyance that Samsung Connect apparently doesn't give a sh*t about my preferences.

I only got both devices on Wednesday 17th and I set the OS and all apps to update automatically even over mobile data so everything should be the latest version. I haven't tried uninstalling Samsung Connect yet as I'm worried it'll get stuck on the "SM-N950F" audio device and then I have to wipe my phone or something.

Anyone encounter something similar before?

In the owners of this model we have tried every possible way to revive the cell phone but nothing so far.

Unfortunately, neither of these solves the problem, [MENTION=5650330]danielpinto8zz6[/MENTION] of the second thread is trying to help us too.

We need someone who knows how to work with binaries.

I spent over 6 months trying to revive my phone, tried it every way possible, but the device does not accept the files.

Tried every method: FlashOne 2.0, QFIL, MiFlash, Studio Tools with x720 qfil, le max 2 qfil, other snapdragon 820 phones qfils. With Studio Tools I;ve managed to receive no ram and boot image error. MiFlash gave me hello packet error. QFIL and FlashOne - Sahara error. If we could get x722 stock qfil.

Our hope is that someone has the knowledge to create the necessary files through reverse engineering.

If you or someone you know has this ability, we can also buy the cell through crowfounding so you can work on the problem.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] traxformania:
My headunit started to give static noise from only Rear speakers. It's not very disturbing but i can definetly hear that when i'm not listening music.

The strange thing is static noise doesnt increase when i increase the volume. It only disseappears when i mute the sound. Static noise level is constant if i increase or lower the volume.

More strange thing is static noise reacts the colors on LCD screen. Static noise is it's maximum level if LCD screen is completely black and noise is lowers if there is a colorful picture in LCD screen.

I don't want to dissamble unit from car and send to the investigation. Is there anything i can do ? Like installing a small filter between the rear speakers and the unit? (I don't know if there is a such thing exists)

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mwrood:
Actually I have two different issues that are somewhat related...First, i think he's talking about the text message ringer. For example...if i set a ringtone to my text messages(songs that is) and i recieve a text message, there is now way to shut the ringer off...it just keeps playing and playing and vibrating and vibrating....the only thing that will make it stop is a power down or soft reset.....whats even weirder is if i recieve a text message while the first message is ringing it plays the ringtone a second time in the background...so not only can i not stop the first one but there a second one that i cant stop either...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!....now for the second issue....i downloaded mring for my phone and it allows me to stop the problematic ringer from before by pressin any button on my phone (GREAT!!!!!!!!) no, not great...when i set my text messages to ring and vibrate it rings, but no vibration occurs...and if i have it on vibrate only...it doesnt vibrate either....at first i thought it was problem with my phone, but the vibration on telephone calls works fine...it's only text messages...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!!!! if anyone can fix the problem im having with mring that would be great cuz i want to continue using that program seeing as how i purchased the product and now that im having that problem its basically useless...
