[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] RGX521:
So, after a short experiment involving an IPhone, I'll be going back to Android soon. I'm thinking about getting a S9.

Can you guys tell me how your experience concering GPS reception has been so far? I rely heavily on it, so it really needs to be solid and I've been burned with an LG G5 in the past. I'm also quite interested in Samsung DEX and "Linux on Galaxy". Does anyone have the Dex environment working well? Would you say it's more than a gimmick? Any other serious issues I should be aware of before I hand over my money to Samsung? Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kriss3:
Galaxy s9 has a good gps.

about 3 meters accuracy in europe.

We are waiting for modifications to the GPS settings.

Because l5 can be active sometime.

That means cm accuracy

Hi there

Is there a way to script tasks in WM6? When I connect my bluetooth keyboard I need to do the following steps:

1. Go to HTC home and rotate the screen

2. Open Comm Manager

3. Switch on bluetooth

4. Open Word Mobile

Then I need to do the reverse when I finish.

Is there a way to automate this process?

Thanks!

Durability???

First smashed screen on my HTC U12+ after one week. Dropped it from 2 feet onto a wooden floor and it landed on it back but is still smashed. I had put the HTC provided case on the device but still......

The HTC case does not protect the phone as it exposes the edges for Edge Sense use but leaves them bare. With an edge to edge screen I expect that we will see many more screens smashed in this model/case than previous.

I am pretty disappointed with the result and warn all to invest in a case that provides allround protection and do not use the HTC provided case.

I started using HTC phones in 2009 and I think I am done...

[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] blackc@t:
The camera app takes a full 2 seconds to load which I'm not too happy about. It also switches to the front/back camera slowly too. Don't expect this on a 2018 phone. I have a 2 year old nephew I want to take pictures of but this is sloooow and I miss catching him do cute things!

[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] billgs:
I think there is something wrong with the scrolling smoothness of the U12+. I am referring to vertical (eg on Blinkfeed or Chrome) or horizontal (between panels on Edge Sense's home screen) movements while the finger swipes and stays on the screen. It can also be described as jerkiness in animation, in a sense that the screen fails in timely following the movement of the finger. It is very apparent when slowly scrolling on the settings menu, or when pulling the notification shade down (especially when pulling it all the way down, by looking at the animation of the quick toggles expanding. It is very evident when directly comparing the same actions between the U12+ and the U11 (stock Oreo) or the 10 (stock Oreo) side-to-side, where the latter 2 are buttery-smooth. It is as if you are seeing a display flucutuating between 50 and 60 fps.

This issue reminds me of an old HTC 10 problem described here https://xdaforums.com/htc-10/help/htc-10-varying-50-60-fps-t3435554

Can it be a CPU governor issue? For example, EXKM reports schedutil governon on the U12+ and interactive on the U11 (both stock Oreo).

The thing is I did not notice this for the first two weeks of use, while now I cannot really get over it. The only thing that changed was the update from 1.15 to 1.21. Can it be that something changed between software versions?

Please share your experiences on the matter...
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] shankly1985:
Am not noticing any issue with my phone. My HTC 10 was also smooth, the U12+ is just much faster in every regard. My U12+ has also been updated to the latest 1.21. release.
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] Arabianspy23:
I have no issue with my HTC u12+,but here i realized something .there is a big different depend on your scrolling speed ,if you on the main screen and try to scroll up the application window with a full speed ,you will realize the animation become very fast.
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] billgs:
That is strange. I can understand that different people perceive refresh rate-related things differently, but I think this is too much of a difference for someone not to notice. I think we need to summon THE expert on such issues, a guy who also has extended experience with the device. [MENTION=1144067]hamdir[/MENTION], if you are around, please share your thoughts!
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] Freak07:
[MENTION=576901]billgs[/MENTION]

It´s not an issue with the framerate directly. It´s an issue with the framebuffer and the GPU/DRM drivers. This changed a bit on the new 4.9 kernel (snapdragon 845) contrary to the old 4.4 kernel (snapdragon 835) and how it´s implemented to the kernel. Therefore also the implementation of colour control is quite a bit different compared to the old 4.4 kernel.

It was resolved by the Qualcomm guys at the code aurora forums (CAF). HTC apparently merged these changes (or their own) into the 1.21 kernel and it´s gone there.

It´s just there when keeping the finger on touchscreen while scrolling very slowly as you mentioned :)

Hey guys, none willing to share his impressions about the camera? :)
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] Tierlord:
The details, contrast and sharpness are great in most situations (look at the train).

The color accuracy is very satisfying (look at the sunset).

But the camera struggles in situations with harsh light incidence. Look at the photo with the dog. Where the light through the trees hits the ground, it looks extremely unnatural and oversharped.

All the pictures are point-and-shoot without editing.
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] Tierlord:
I forgot to upload the photo with the dog :D
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] sbiricuda:
Interesting! I just got mine, I will try it and report back :)
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] MrN1484:
The camera is the saving grace of this phone for me, you can point and click and generally get a pretty decent shot.

The only thing I've noticed it does seem to struggle with is hard sunshine where it can be hard to get the camera to recognise the darker points instead of dimming everything down. But I'm sure that's the same with most phones.

I've attached a quick bokeh snap I took yesterday.

[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] pavlidisc:
My big complaint is the low fps when capturing indoors. Video fps balanced between 40 and 11!!!

Yestarday i took video from my son's scool event. Indoor event with plenty of light. Kids dancing on a dance floor. 1080p and 30fps settings.

The result?

- Amazing sound!!! Everything hearing so clear that you cannot believe how on earth did a mobile manage to do this!!! Clear output for every sound source!

- Amazing picture quality!!! Obvious without doubt result!

- Annoyng "cracks" during playback. Fps goes from 40 to ...11!!!!...and playback became too unsmooth!

Maybe HTC trying to keep ISO in low level using fps drop as a solution. I dont know. But this makes playback unwatchable!

I wiil try to capture with 60fps next time. Lets' hope that fps will not drop below 30.

P.S i previously wrote this small text in wrong thread. I copied in here in order to continue the discussion.
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] crazyjc81:
Yeah I found too that 30fps video is quite choppy. Switching to 60fps seems to have solved the issue.
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] pavlidisc:
Yes. 60fps option solves the "problem".

The same on 4K video recording. 30fps makes video unsmooth. If you choose 60fps, everything is ok.

I hope pie solve this issue.

when i install a cab and exe files, i use active sync, extract the file to a folder on my tilt, open it up with my tilt, and boo yah, its installed. not so with zip and xml files. when its either one of these, however i do the same steps as above except when i open it up on my tilt it connects to internet explorer, looks like it "installs", then i get a whole bunch of wording like this:

-<wap.provisioningdoc>

-<charaxteristic

type="install">

etc., etc., etc.

but i NEVER get the program. i see ppl posting opens and loads of various other things in zip and xml format, but i can not obtain these files. What am i doing wrong??:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
With zip files extract one level only. Normally the zip will extract to either a CAB or an EXE.

Most EXE's you run on the PC with the device AS connected.

CAB files move (unextracted) to the PPC either main or storage card and tap to run on the device.

Sometimes you get a combination of an XML and an EXE (eg Kaiser Tweak) where you move both files to the PPC into a folder and then run the EXE on the device. These are relatively rare - most exe's run on the PC.

If you continue to have problems it is best to give a specific example of the file type and software in question.

[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] szlevi:
The included charger is QC 3.0 which means you get to charged from almost zero to two-third in ~30 minutes (official blurb is 80% in 35 minutes.) However the phone supports QC 4.0 which suppose to give you 50% charge in 5 minutes - but you need to buy a strong (60W and up) QC 4.0 charger like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Tenke.../dp/B0789F6FNG
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] Apt2l:
Does this charger has same specs as the one that comes with the new apple notebooks?
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] OGhoul:
Instead of Qualcomm helping to fix the issue they caused regarding their proprietary charging standard with USB-C versus USB Power Delivery, I'm starting to think that they in fact made things worse.

First, that is not a Quick Charge 4.0 charger, that is a USB-PD charger. Don't expect that to do whatever it is that Qualcomm says it will do, and here's why. Quick Charge 4.0, per Qualcomm's website states that it

also supports USB Power Delivery

. This means that you can finally use a Qualcomm equipped phone into a USB PD charger with the proper, in-spec cable, and have it charge quickly according to the USB Consortium's specifications. USB PD does not support Qualcomm's proprietary QCx, nor does it support Dash Charge, whatever Samsung made up, or any other single-manufacturer quick charging (and why should it?).

It now seems that these sketchy vendors have realized that USB PD is going to be the standard (eventually) and since Qualcomm supports it now, they can misleadingly label their USB-PD products as QC4.0, as is the case here.

Depends on which MacBook laptop you get. The 15" MacBook Pros use an 85watt USB-PD charger (with Apple's heaviest-duty cable), while the 13" MacBook Pro and 12" MacBook and use a 60watt USB-PD charger and appropriate cable.

Apple also sells a 27watt USB-PD charger and lighter duty cable that is perfectly fine for fast charging the newest iPads, iPad Pros, iPhone 8 series, and iPhone X, which all use USB-PD (via a USB-C to Lightning cable, that uses USB-PD).

Does it have the same specs? I can't say. But per the description, it should be able to charge a MacBook or the 13" MacBook Pro. Personally, I wouldn't buy it because of how temperamental Apple's devices have shown themselves to be when it comes to questionable chargers and cables.

[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] jcallaway77:
I realized, after posting yesterday, that she could have had some charge time in there(forgot to check) and that would have made it look like SoT was longer than it actually was.

I checked her phone again last night and she had 6.5 hours SoT and 21 hours since last charge with 3% left.

She plays mostly casual games... Grow Castle, Neko Atsume, Candy Crush.
[HTC U12+ Real Life Review] Icculus760:
Thanks for the info. I find I'm getting 3-4 hours SoT whenever I play any games, but usually gain an extra hour when I'm not playing games. Wasn't sure if that's normal or bad considering what you posted about your wife's habits.
