[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
i emailed oneplus and they told me a new battery after warranty cost only 33 euro including repair and shipping so now that i know this i dont really care about my battery health and will change it out around 2 years
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] hinix:
I'm changing phones every year. By this time battery will be fine, so I don't really care how to charge it. My way is to charge it every night with USB cable connected to pc (slow as f*ck, 80% takes about 3 or 4 hrs, but sleeping takes6-8hrs anyway - reason for that is stupid I don't have power socket close to my bed ;) ) - in case I need juice fast - two oneplus chargers somewhere at home.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] anupritaisno1:
You should charge your phone to 100% and if you can leave it on a charger even after that, even better

I'm actually a developer and have read the code so please read on for the explanation

If you have had a phone with android M or lower you might be familiar with the "android is starting/upgrading" screen where it showed "optimising app x of total"

So, Google removed that code in N right? Why is this a bother

Actually wrong, that code was simply relocated

The code was moved from the boot process to when the device was charging (that is, plugged in), full charged (that is, 100%) and idle (idle = device is not physically moving)

Once this condition is satisfied, the code behind the "android is starting" screen runs in the background and starts optimising apps

In other words, you have to keep your phone connected to a charger in order to finish this process

Which is why it is a good idea to charge overnight

What if you don't allow this to happen?

Ever heard of the classic "android system using a lot of battery" issue? You basically force your system to use the JIT compiler which uses a lot of battery and android system comes to the top as a result

In other words if you don't leave your device on a charger long enough, your battery life will suffer anyway

Wiping cache is also a pretty bad idea

So, leave your phone on a charger without worries. Google just made the "android is starting" code a lot more convenient for the user but you have to allow your phone to run that code otherwise it's meaningless

Protip: some root users suggest running "cmd package bg-dexopt-job" in a terminal emulator app as root forces the optimisation to happen. I haven't personally tried it but it won't cause any damage to your phone that's for sure

That doesn't mean you should go try it unless you are aware of what you're doing either

Summary:

There are many entities that would like to track you, particularly beyond the borders of an app. We research if they can — with your help.

On Android exists many properties like the names of all installed Apps or the Android-ID, which can be queried by any app,

sometimes they do not even require any permissions. With these properties an identity can be built to uniquely identify a device.

With these so called Traces your device can be tracked, even beyond the borders of an app.

How it works:

Participating in our study is easy and doesn't require any signup:

Install our app using the links below.

On first start, we require some permissions for our research and we kindly ask you to grant them. Don't worry, we treat your data with responsibility.

You're all set. Whenever you open the app, it automatically generates a trace of your device and sends the result to our university server.

After sending your trace, a score between 0% and 100% is calculated indicating how unique your device is.

Once a week, we'll remind you to open the app again to send another trace.

Furthermore, we provide you with some individual and overall study statistics.

You'll need a 64-bit custom rom (Like AEX or PE)

In AEX the game installs but when you are playing it quits you saying something about the OEM and the ADB.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Infinitodecimal:
Hey guys , first sorry if this question has been already answered and if it has been, i couldn't find it anywhere on any post.

The thing is, I moved from an S6 to an S9 (the s6 was with a tpa csc, then I flashed an indian firmware because i wanted Nougat) the S9 has an ARO csc stuck on february update and I wanted to know if i can flash a TPA firmware (I've read about the OXM CSC and the ARO and TPA share this "feature" which is kinda new to me) and if the procedure remains the same: Odin, download mode, files, flash or there are new steps to do this :confused::confused:.

Thanks in advance,

[Essential Phone Accessories] serendipitousstl:
Hello,

I received my Amazon PH-1 phone recently (it had been back-ordered for a few weeks) and I had ordered the $20 Essential 360 camera from the company for $20. Well turns out that my phone had bad battery with terrible wifi. So I had to return it (no exchange was possible). So I'm left with the 360 camera which I can't use or return (only a 15 day return policy and was received long before the phone arrived).

So if someone wants a free Essential 360 camera, I'm giving it away. All you have to do is cover postage... should only be $6.50 or so for priority mail. The camera worked well and was updated to the latest firmware.

Let me know if anyone is interested. I can send a paypal money request and print a label using their system...

Sincerely,

John Patrick

Hi everyone, this year in Australia we have had changes of DST dates. A week ago mobile updated itself on the wrong date so I installed the Microsoft fix for this. Today is the correct date for DST changeover and while installing the fix corrected the earlier problem, today my phone clock has not updated itself (whereas my Windows XP desktop has). I am wondering if any other Aussies have had this problem?

[General Topics] caeci11ius:
I had this issue too, except when syncing with XP the clock on the phone would change back to the wrong time (after I'd set it to the correct time manually). Installing the fix found at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx fixes the problem though. If you haven't installed it I would recommend it if you rely on your phone's clock (as I do)...

I periodically change the firmware. And recently I have installed Lineage 14.1. Everything worked well, except for one thing: in the description it was written that mobile data only works on the SIM2, so I moved my SIM card to the second slot, but the mobile data still did not work. I checked: the connection is available - you can call, the Data roaming is switched on, the access point is selected - the Internet still does not work. Later I installed Ressurection Remix 5.8.5 - and with it the same problem. However, on all other ROMs - Cyanogen 13, Motion Rom - the Internet on both SIM slots works (it's not a hardware problem). Please, tell me, what could be the problem and how to solve it?

I am really looking forward to having this feature as well on the Tab S3. Can't see a reason Samsung can't implement this other than planned obsolescence or exclusivity. Apps like taskbar aren't perfect but get the job done and DisplayLink has made it possible to cast to a monitor over HDMI but it's essentially screen recording so aspect ratios are messed up. Support for multiple displays is very exciting, being able to have different apps on the Tab and projecting different apps on the monitor. Or even using the Tab as a trackpad like the new note would be very handy.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] XxReApErxX:
Planned obsolescense is the answer, I guess we won't have the Dex.

Enviado desde mi LG-H990 mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] aretzios:
Let me say that first and foremost, DeX is nothing more than a gimmick. There was a much better windowing environment in the Note 10.1 2014, and it worked better than DeX. Let's be frank, nobody will be using this tablet for productivity work. Some light writing and some email, possibly. One can do these things quite well in typical Android, DeX is not necessary. It is just eye candy, it is a way to sell a tablet for something that it would hardly used for.

If Samsung was positioning DeX as a competitor to Chrome OS., well, it should have produced at least a 12-inch screen laptop running just DeX and having access to Android apps. It would have been, possibly, better than most Chromebooks. The Chrome OS is also mostly a gimmick for real productivity work. Thus, we would have had the fight of the gimmicks.

Now, if one wants a good tablet that runs a decent windowing OS and has access to many applications and it can be used for substantial productivity work, one should purchase a Microsoft Surface or any of the many competitors. Considering the pricing of the SW4, this is not to difficult to contemplate!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] yashlg97:
Oh, I never personally owned the Tab 10.1 but I'll be interested in having a look at that too

Yeah, I believe if Samsung did that they could possibly gain more traction but I just feel it'll be good to at least have the option.

Well the only reason I still prefer Android for tablets is because of ARM architecture. Surface products with Intel chips still aren't as responsive from sleep and battery life is unpredictable. When Microsoft releases an ARM based surface, I'll be very tempted to go for something like that

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] aretzios:
Well, there are Win10 laptops with ARM processors. These machines are called "Always Connected" or something similar. However, a few typical Windows products will not run on ARM. In any case, I believe that HP and Asus (and others) have released these machines that are lighter and have better battery life than typical Windows laptops.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

I do not think so. Look at the windowing capabilities of the Note 10.1 2014, which had a much less capable processor than the Galaxy Tab S3. In fact, I still believe that the multitasking and multi-windowing capability of that tablet was substantially better than the current Dex solution. Why Samsung abandoned that solution to migrate to Dex may have more to do with selling cellphones than actually improving the multitasking and windowing capabilities of Android Tablets. In any case, I just do not think Dex is a good solution of 10-inch tablets. I would have much preferred to have seen a 12-inch Galaxy Tab Pro with DeX. Now, this tablet would have been great for both design/drawing and productivity work. There is really not much that can be gained by multi-windowing in a 10-inch panel and cramped keyboard. The idea is good, the machine that it is applied to is not the best place to enable it. Let's be frank about it.

Since Samsung is still selling (actively) the Tab S3 (it lowered the price by about $100), it is just possible that it may bring Dex to it (although I doubt it). The gains would be minimal, but Samsung may sell more of these less expensive tablets.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] MR2_Wei:
The note 10.1 has the same kind of multi tasking as the tab s3's the floating windows and all the other stuff. All apps on tab s3 can be resizable anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] aretzios:
Really? I have the Tab S3 right here in front of me and no application is resizable. In the 10.1 2014, one could have used the S-pen to draw the window of the application to run in that window. None of these capabilities are present in the S3. Either you never had the Note 10.1 2014 or the Tab S3.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] aretzios:
This is a kludge. There is nothing in the S3 that matches the multitasking and multiwindowing of the Note 10.1 2014. My guess is that what was in the Note 10.1 eventually "mutated" to Dex and this is really a pity, but not very surprising. Samsung has really no idea of what to do with its software innovations. It should have build on the multiasking and multiwindowing of the Note 10.1. Unfortunately, it tried to introduce the "Pro" version of this table with larger screen and when these larger Notes failed to impress, it retreated to the plain-vanilla (almost) Android, trying to move "Dex" to the cell phones (without much success there, either).
