Frontal camera flash

why in most roms like lineage os, resurrection remix, Cosmic-os does not work the front led flash? It can be fixed?

rom ok.

I want more battery life :good:

And the sound in the call was a bit small
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016 Exynos 7870) ROMs, Kernels] AkashDS:
Hi bro!

Thanks for this amazing ROM!

I tried it and it worked great. Damn smooth and everything was so fast.

I just did not liked its gaming performance and no VoLTE support. :(

About VoLTE, it is same for all Exynos devices, as far as I can find. So, I cannot expect it from you.

However, please try to improve gaming performance because it is not as good as stock ROM, especially debloated stock ROM.

So, I hope you'll try to focus in it.

By the way, you're developing so many ROMs. ? That's great for development of our phone.

is a beautiful rom, with a very beautiful interface, and a great performance. It's a shame about this j710mn recording bug. I'll wait for the next updates ..

when I flesho rom the camera it works normal plus the flash has a delay and the photo goes dark, and with time it starts to bugar the recording tbm, it's nomal or it's something that I'm doing wrong at the time of stalling
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016 Exynos 7870) ROMs, Kernels] Ruturaj Kadam:

Thanks for the insightful answer :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016 Exynos 7870) ROMs, Kernels] roadrash64:
Try crdroid 4.2 it is stable and very fast and can use as a daily rom, however there's a few bugs here and there like front flash don't work on J710mn but third party apps can fix this... The wifi won't work on J710mn unless u flash the wifi fix but overall the best rom I tried so far and also have some really great features...

Bug?

Awesome ROM, but I found kind of a bug. When headphones plugged in, the alarm clock doesn't use the speaker. Even third party applications can't solve the problem, I tried 5 of them. Also Dualshock 4 can't connect via Bluetooth, but it's not only on this Oreo ROM.

P.S.

Great work with Pixel Launcher

[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016 Exynos 7870) ROMs, Kernels] sandeepkumar0153:
There are ways where modifying the APN has enabled Volte on other mobile phones. Its buggy and data doesn't work. You have to constantly switch from flight mode to normal and refresh network.

Volte requires OEM rom to work as of now.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gclancer:
So ebay offered $50 off coupon couple days ago. I decided to get the S9+ 128gb from seller playfone.go. I paid $839 plus $25 shipping. Turned out to around $816 after the discount. Few hours later, seller contacted me saying there's an issue with DHL that they can't ship it out. Then asked to cancel the order until DHL issue is resolved. They made it sounds like I can buy it again when the issue is resolved. It left me with no choice but to cancel the order. Few hours after I cancelled my order, I noticed the seller raised the shipping cost to $150 from $25. I asked them how come they raised the shipping after my order is cancelled. They told me they couldn't cancel the listing so they raised the shipping so no one would buy from them.

Today I found out they updated the listing again and raised to $965 plus $25 shipping. I suspect they didn't want to sell me the 128gb model at the price I paid for in the beginning. So I told them I will report them to eBay. I am so mad they gave me a bogus excuse and tricked me into cancelling my order instead of given me an honest answer. I would've feel better if they tell me they are a mistake on the price then I would buy from other sellers instead.

Playfone.go has multiple s9 listings on eBay so be aware of this shady seller.

I tried to leave negative feedback but I couldn't anymore for some reason. Just called ebay and reported this seller. The rep I talked to over the phone agrees that the seller raised the price after my order was cancelled. She asked me to report the item and they will look into this and possibly stop seller from selling this item again for violating ebay listing practices

This is my 4th replacement, expecting my 5th today, this latest one I have is manufactured on the 16th nov shipped on the 20th doesn't have a pure white screen and the ambient display keeps switching itself off, I've never had to send so many phones back in my life, on this one the screen is white at the top and at the bottom about 1-2 inches up it's like a dirty yellow tint and not pure white, I'll see what this latest one is like tonight but I'm hoping it's not a 16th nov manufactured device.

The first I got was oct which was fine apart from battery issues, the next 2 i never checked, these last 2 are both nov 16th manufacturing dates, i do not believe they still have brand new stock dating from nov when we're in march, they said it is brand new I'm more inclined these are cleaned up repackaged devices that have been returned, from the Google store.

Update, just to add to this, i now remember when this 16th nov device arrived last week, upon unboxing it the sticker wasn't fully sealed, not stuck down properly and the plastic cover wrapping round the screen wasn't properly aligned as if it wasn't done from the factory.
