[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] andreawars:
Does any tablet owner here of M5 or same family tablet, has noticed if one of your display has an edge or sideline that is slightly slightly darker, during using a fully white background? :rolleyes:

On my m5 Pro I've noticed that with a fully white backgroud, I do have an edge, close to the left bottom corner (holding the tablet horizontally) that is slightly gray rather than the right side. Off course that: if I'm rotating it, then it Will happear to the top instead.

If you don't stay there and looking at it for a minute, you don't notice it. But if you look at it and compare to the rest of the screen or other side, then you'll see this small difference.

Do you have same issue? Does it is an IPS display issue?

Ah! It makes it only with the White. Only the White. Other colors comparisions are fine.

Looking videos, pictures or anything else that does not push the screen to a very high density white in that side, it's fine.

You can try to see if you're having the same of opening the cleaning chache program, where there is a lot of White all around the screen. There you can watch side by side and every corner... and you can try too see if somewhere do you have a slightly white difference compared to the rest.

But as said above. Only white make this.

Videos, pictures with same colors side to side are fine. It's all about the White.

I've contacted the Huawei assistance trough Phone and they said that is normal and panels might do this, and if in doubt, I'm free to go to the Local official technical assistance in my town to have a confirm for it .

So I've done that! I've moved to the Local technical assistance and the technician told me that it might happens and it is not worthy of a repair, because changing panel might not solve the problem as this slightly slightly brightning difference might show on another side. Has more sense to wait if in these 2 years something going worse and repair it over warranty.

It's hard to see this difference of White brightness, and I've noticed that just because I'm a really fussy guy and ... off course I don't spend my time on surfing on the menus. It's also a post to understand it these kind of IPS panels may encount these issues.

Anyone here is experiencing this thing? Or are you watching all the sides of your tablet to see if do you have it aswell? :laugh:
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Michaelflat1:
It's called uneven brightness, and reading notebookcheck's review said that it is above average. Seems you have received a dud, but it's likely within tolerance im afraid.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] andreawars:
Are you sure It's a dud? In a FB group a guy said that he's even worse on his 8.4 because he has it all over the edges . And on a previous M3 he got, there was an even worse side with less brightness. And so He returned the tablet.

In my case, it's so soft that you don't notice it at all. You do have to search for it. And it happens only with the White.

It the technician in the store told me it's not worth a replace the panel, this slightly brightness might happpen and same issue might happen in another side, nobody knows. I wish to beleive him . Why He would had lied to me?

Anyway I've read the m5 review and they are showing the characteristic of the brightness all over the display. Yea, it is seems a trait of it, and a 0,25 cd/m2 is barely perceivable.

What's your opinion?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Michaelflat1:
my M5 is perfect, no noticeable differences in brightness anywhere. Notebookcheck said that the 8 in model has poorer display anyway.

If it's not noticeable in normal use then it's fine.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] andreawars:
Nah...exept The White background, it's ok on all use.

But as said above, if I do watch that edge to try to catch the eye to find this difference.

Technician said it's ok. Hope it is. I just want to know if anyone experienced this with this model or any other tablet with IPS display
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] andreawars:
Is there any reliable software for Android to do the same thing done by notebookcheck and testing the brightness? Like this:

I've checked that one on playstore, but I did not find nothing.

Any suggestion?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Michaelflat1:
You need something that can detect the brightness, usually expensive hardware that connects to a windows machine. I think they start at around $500 or so. You could rent one i suppose. (if you could find somewhere or someone!).

But yeah it needs hardware.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] kaimyns:
What did you decide? I have one side that is darker or M5 10.8, not a pro version.

Should I try to replace it? It does not bother me much and I read here that there are more units, that come with more darker sides/edges.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] andreawars:
The problem for me it's just a little and not worth a change for defect.

Because a repairing stores told me that quite always somewhere that little little darker side happear. It's not guarranteed that with a replacement it would not happear elsewhere. It's happening only with the White. Normal use the tablet is fine.

It's an issue of the IPS display, expecially large displays. That's Why i love the AMOLED all the way.

Technician said it's not for a change/repair, exept if it is gonna go worse.

So I'll keep it. Does your problem is so noticeable?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] kaimyns:
It is, the whole left side is darker, so I contacted for replacement. Amazon was very helpful and the replacement is coming to me. Hope that unit will be be without darker sides.

Thanks for help.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] andreawars:
Did you had this issues also with other colors? If you were watching a movie or working on a picture was noticeable?

For me it's only the White, but you do have to look for it. It's same issues that have low/mid ranged TVs.

Not worth a change or a repair. Because it can ne elsewhere.

Does it is the same for you?

Keep us updated.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] kaimyns:
Yes, there was also a problem with other brighter colors. It was noticable only when browsing, but that's mainly what I do with a tablet. After a while I started searching for that darker side in various apps/colors, instead of enjoying a tablet.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] kaimyns:
Today I got a replacement. The screen looks more or less fine on the sides/edges both with white and other colors.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] DominatingSystem:
my m5 pro 10.8 is perfectly in balance.

iv´e tested with a white fullscreen wallpaper on max. brightness. everything is ok.

also other colors are fine.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] czapel10@gmail.co:
every M5 screen has it. I had 3 pieces, each one had a near the status bar (battery, hour) visible only at a sharp angle. If you do not see it, you look at it badly. I stayed with the first copy. These two still had dead pixels. This is the construction of ips.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Michaelflat1:
yeah i have no issues on mine, full brightness and looking from sharp angles doesn't make much difference at all. Slight brightness changes maybe, but same happens to any screen.
[Oppo Realme 1  Questions & Answers] reflexun:
I bought the phone being attracted to the really high specs and low price but i hate ColorOs . So i installed nova launcher, found out that there was no clock widget available. So i installed almost every single third party clock widget on the playstore as well as oppo app store.

[Oppo Realme 1  Questions & Answers] abhinavek:

[Oppo Realme 1  Questions & Answers] Genius ps:
It is just easy.Hold on the third party clock app.Select app info .select power consumption protection option.Than just turn off Background freeze, abnormal app optimization and doze.Thats all.

[HTC Excalibur] chris300zx:
Hello All!

I havn't modified phones in over a year, the last few that I did where motorola razr and slider versions. I recently jumped into these forums and updated my Dash to WM 6.1 and really like it. My dash developed an issue yesterday, the ear piece has some sort of feedback in it, kind of makes everything sound a little fuzzy -- I can still hear people, but it's annoying. Now that i've upgraded to a Kavana ROM, is T-mobile going to give me crap about replacing the phone (its only 6 months old)? Or is this rectified by reflashing with an official T-mobile WM 6 rom from the offical ROMS thread (or can you not go backwards?)?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Excalibur] chris300zx:
Also as a note, I'm fairly sure this is a hardware issue in the Dash's earpiece not something software related from the actual upgraded to Kavana WM 6.1 080330.

Best Phone Samsung has ever made
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] FireEye:
i owned a note 4, for about 4 years until it died on me (dropped it, the screen popped out and that's it). since i owned a few Chinese brands (mid tier phones).

now after getting the note 9 i remembered why i loved my note 4 so much.

its a complete package, it checks all the boxes and overall an amazing device that gives me the proper value for the money. yes its expensive but its also the best of the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] hackdrag0n:
Overall I love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] whips:
My first note device and first samsung device. I've used many other android devices over the years. I know the number one complaint above this device is probably the price. It's certainly the most expensive phone I've bought to date but ... It's worth every penny! I love it!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] buxz777:
Can't fault it... Got to be the best all round device... If it had an ir blaster for my TV it would have an the bases covered

:good::good::good: Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is a fabulously tremendous phone that everyone loves. even Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is the best deal in 2018
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] xMadMike:
Everything is perfect, loving it so much more than the Note8! Only gripe would be Bixby... it seems like they threw out some things Bixby 1.0 could do in 2.0 which makes it feel even more inconsistent now... It does seem to have better voice recognition though. For the time being, I remapped Bixby to Google Assistant (something I never did with Bixby 1.0!!!) until they fix Bixby 2 with some updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Treasarion:
I would share my experience with my Note 9 (Exy)

I trink it is the better Note 8, wich i had before. Overall Speed, Accu & Devicequality is in my opinion so much better. The Display is one of the best i See so far, beside other Devices. I said this about my Note 8 Top, but with my Note 9, i can truely say it is the best Device i owned yet.

Experience from Samsung is absolue lag free. Atm i have the first Time no reason to root my Device.

I think that i will run this great Phone a few years:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] v_square:
Coming from an S9+. I dig the Note design.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] illetyus:
I love it but needs a little update regarding battery. Exynos version drain 1 percent an hour..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] PsiPhiDan:
100 hours from a phone sounds reasonable to me. ;):D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] androFRUST:
I would probably rate this the best android phone i have ever bought if not for the crap battery life on the exynos version.

Best phone ever was still the HTC One m7 imho
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] michelino159:
Notes 9 is the best phone Notes so far.?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] bruiserman:
Just got the phone. Came from LG v20. Definitely a huge improvement. Also like it better than my S7 edge. Edge was my favorite phone to date until I broke the screen and grabbed up the V20 to hold me over. Got the note 9 buy one get one free so me and my wife can enjoy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] RanMN:
Upgraded from my 2.5 year old S7E to N9 512GB. Loving it absolutely. Great battery life too, getting around 40% left at the end of the day.

I agree, I was excited to use Bixby but I cant find any of the features many people praised about!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] WaxysDargle:
i am pleasantly surprised. not many despised TW UI like i did. i actually liked the refresh on the s8, but the lag was still there.

i can confidently say they have finally fixed the lagging issue, albeit with raw power rather than more clever methods.

this is the best phone available right now. i've been flying through phones like crazy for the past 2 years, almost settled on my mate 10, then this came along. very happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] dorpmuller:
After some teething problems I'm completely in love with mine. Finally something that's big enough for my hands! (with a case) I'm on Verizon-only one with decent coverage here. (Central Pa.) Can't get over how nice the display is and the sound is great on internal speakers. Using Nova launcher. Caveat: I was using ADW 2 and it wouldn't let me make URL shortcuts to the homescreen with Chrome. Nova works fine. FYI because I was pulling my hair out for awhile.

I use Package Disabler pro plus to freeze nuisance apps and stop Bixby, which I can't care less about. Adguard for other nuisances. Root doesn't matter with this one since it's so damn fast anyway!

I came from a V10 which was starting to not wake up and had totally abysmal battery life, couldn't get through a day without it dying. Note 9 has been going for two days straight... the bigger battery is what really sold me.

Others said it... best Samsung yet! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] PsiPhiDan:
BEST. PHONE. EVER.

It takes my favorite phone (before - the Note8), and improves every single thing that bothered me about it (very few things) and then adds stuff I didn't even "need" (Bluetooth pen) that are fantastic!

Battery life is NOTICEABLY better.

Dual speakers sound SO GOOD compared to the Note8.

Fingerprint scanner is way better positioned!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] o0boiboi0o:
Same as the other mates here.

Simply love my Note 9. My first samsung hp is S3, 2 yrs later got myself Note 3, 4 yrs ltr gotten myself Note 9. Yes, it is expensive (probably the most expensive phone I bgt till date) but I strongly believe this Note 9 will serve me for many yrs to come like its previous generation. Never regret getting it at all. And...who the hell want to buy iPhone :eek:

EDIT: to add on, i agreed that this is the first time i felt no impulsion to root it. Previously once I got my samsung device, be it phone or tablet, first time i would do is root it and customize the UI etc. But now, I just love the way it is. haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Duncan1982:
BACK TO THE POWERHOUSE

Now that we have entered the 1000+ category, when you compare to Apple (noting this as it's in the same price bracket) ok slightly more expensive lol, but with the Note 9 you arguably get more bang for your buck, (even a fast charger in box, headphones, and the necessary tips for the S-pen).

The Note 9 is expensive but it's worth it in comparison & so glad to see a return to the powerhouse device. Of course I opted for the 512/8gb variant as well (go big or go home)...., it runs so smooth like you I feel absolutely no need to root (usually first thing I do)

Really I am enjoying the Notr 9 and all the flavours it has to offer :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] RonChinoy:
Love my Note 9. Loved my Note 4 even more because it had an IR Blaster I used a lot.

Envy the Note 9 owners who got the 845 chipset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Phazonclash:
I love mine so far, the Note 9 does everything, and it's good at it

BUT

I really miss my Pixel 2 XL's camera
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] hackdrag0n:
Note 9 is better overall though and the camera is still plenty capable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] sullytrny:
That simply a great phone camera GPS computer with a doc blah blah blah
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] zedwards:
I'm coming from the Galaxy 8 Active, which I broke the camera lense twice and so haven't been using the camera much. But all I can say is...this is the most wonderful phone I've ever used. I don't care that it's big, even with my small hands :) When I was getting my annual sprint phone lease upgrade, in a momentary lapse of insanity, and just wanting to try it out, I got the iPhone Xs. All I can say is...for the same price, the Samsung gives you a lot more bang for your buck. Plus, I'm just used to how android is navigated. After 5 min back on and knowing how to do everything, and all the customization, I was happy to be back.

I had a Note 4 previously and loved that, but unfortunately dropped that and smashed the screen. I then moved to a Nexus 6 which I loved and then the Google pixel XL.

It's not until I got the Note 9 on upgrade that I realised how amazing this phone is. As mentioned above this is the complete package and a phone that has so much that I haven't even uncovered as yet! Simply stunning!

Can u please write differences review for that cuz I'm thinking going to the mate 20 pro..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Sajam:
Thx for making me smile by ur post and yes its the best phone i ever had too, especially now with pie, custom kernel and pixel cam now all working on the Note 9.

I had S6 Edge, S7 Edge, S8, Note 8 and now the Note 9 and after i sold my Note 8 i was so bumped out when i noticed that so many things ain't ported yet but the last month has been awesome !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] bond32:
Do you guys remember the first Note? I oogled over that stupid thing daily. Since I'm committed to Verizon, I could never have one. But holy cow that phone at the time was insane. It seems they have definitely kept the trend since.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] JesseBenson:
I love my mobile screen is awesome and colourfull very good speakers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Big Poppa:
I currently have the Note 9. It's great but not my favorite. My first ever smart phone was an S II. I really liked that phone. After a couple of mid-tier phones I landed on the S5. Now that phone was awesome. The IR blaster was a pleasant surprise. It would be nice to see that make a come back. I've seen a few people still rocking an S 5 -- 5 years later!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] greenpeace101:
Well my main reason was the camera or the camera software. Mate 20 Pro does a lot of things going on in the software processing. People doesn't look good on the picture because of that. Even if the AI mode was turned off. I don't know, I really don't like it. Another was the software, EMUI is good, but it's EMUI! You can't feel the premiumness on it, compared of Note 9.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Dmn100:
Just got mine for £599 and I have to say so far I love it. I personally really like One UI, it looks much cleaner than Touchwiz and Samsung Experience and is almost at the same level as Oxygen OS. I was initially concerned about battery life, but it has now settled down and I'm comfortably able to get 6-7 hours screen on time with no battery saver and on qhd resolution. Performance is very good, the sound out of the speakers and on Bluetooth is amazing, the screen is the best I've ever seen. The only thing I'm going to miss from my previous Mate 10 Pro is a dedicated night mode for the camera. Face unlocking with and without iris scanning is also very hit and miss so I just stick to the fingerprint scanner.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] crixley:
If you get the Google camera you can use night sight
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] TawkinTrash:
I knew getting the Note 9 they were gonna do some wanky things to the devices after.

This phone has it all with the specs to last a while.

Traditional design with all the hardware features that make sense.
