[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] God of Thunder:
I think the reason there haven't been complaints is precisely that Samsung stayed away from using PenTile on the Tab S2 and S3 lines. And phones are pretty high res already.

Reviewers saying it's very sharp is a good sign, it's probably RGB. But I'd have to confirm that before dropping money on this bad boy! :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Yeah not surprised. I would be concerned too but I'm pretty confident they wouldnt go backwards on the screen quality. I'm getting mine tomorrow or Friday and will let you know ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] God of Thunder:
Awesome man! I would really appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] carlchan31:
That's great! Will be waiting for your update :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] JR676:
I received my Tab S4 yesterday and took a look under 30x magnification. It is not Pentile. It's the same configuration as devices like the TabPro S, Lenovo X1 Yoga, and Alienware R13, where each pixel is its own RGB trio, with the blue subpixel horizontally under the red or green. I've seen this referred to as "S Stripe."
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] God of Thunder:
Cheers man. Thanks a lot for doing this. I know it's a lot to ask, but would it be possible to take a picture? If it's not too inconvenient, of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] JR676:
The quality will be extremely poor since I'm using a camera through a handheld magnifier. The pixels are small enough to be difficult to see even by eye.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] God of Thunder:
A million thanks my friend.

I went into a store today and had a look and can also confirm, it's RGB. Now will have to wait for my payday, and then I'm picking up one of these bad boys :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Mr niceguy:
It has been some time since I looked at pixels of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 / 10.

I was under the impression the RGB Stripe was an equal size color. Same size RED same size Green Same size Blue.

The picture you showed is not the same.

My question is, isn't that totally different then back in the day " Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10" "?

I forgot what the 'pentile' looked like, I think it had smaller color on one color.

This new S4 shows 2 colors smaller and 1 bigger ( from your picture)

The reason I am curious is I just watched sakit*ch's (you know how to spell it) comparison of the S3 / S4 on U Tube (You know how to spell it) and the S3 has richer Greens while the S4 has richer browns. I know there is something different in the pixels between the S3 and S4, you can see it in his review.

Do you by chance have an S3 to show a picture like you did with the S4 :good:

Some references I am reading :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering#Example_with_the_common_RGB_stripes_layout

https://www.tested.com/tech/smartphones/1868-pentile-vs-real-stripe-amoled-displays-whats-different/

I'm convinced, the S4 is NOT stripe. All 3 colors are not equal in size. (respectively speaking)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] JR676:
In a Pentile arrangement, each pixel doesn't have its own unique R, G, and B subpixel.

"S-Stripe" is name specific to Samsung. I don't think it refers to an equal sized R, G, and B subpixel, but only the fact that each pixel has its own R, G, and B subpixel. For example, the arrangements in the Tab 10.4 and Note 2 were both referred to as "S-Stripe" despite having different size subpixels.

I can't post links, but Wikipedia has images of the Note II's "S-Stripe" layout and AnandTech has images of the Tab S 10.4's "S-Stripe" layout. The Note II in particular has larger blue subpixels than red and green.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] GuestK00136:
On occasion I like to play emulators (e.g., NES.emu, Snes9x EX+, GBA.emu etc.) when I travel but, with the MediaPad M5 10.8, I have been experiencing issues in regards to frame drops (stuttering). If I enable 'Frame Skipping', the issue stops but the end result is jank.

I find this surprising as my prior tablet, the Tab S2 9.7, had a SD 652 CPU and could easily handle PPSSPP or ePSXe whereas the Kiron 960s with its Mali-G71 MP8 experiences hiccups on games like Super Mario Bros. It will run PPSSPP or ePSXe but again, like before, frame drops.

No other issues to report aside from this; video/sound playback are optimal (up to 1080P/24FPS/60FPS - but 1440P is a no go) and no overheating. Battery saver is off. I've toggled 'Smart Resolution' on and off without difference.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] mroshaw:
I love a bit of emulation me, so I'll have a go with PPSSPP tonight on my M5 8.4 SHT-W09. Any PSP games in particular that you've tried that cause you grief?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] thref23:
I haven't gamed heavily, but I recommend deleting Chrome and uninstalling updates to Android System Webview (or experiment with uninstalling updates to Chrome rather than getting rid of it). I saw general improvement from this - and some recommend this for smoother gaming on any Android device (Chrome, or Webview if Chrome is disabled, serves as a system process that is used by many apps, so glitchy or otherwise heavy updates cause issues system-wide).

If rooted you may be able to clock the gpu higher for specific apps. See this Mate 9 thread (Mate 9 shares the same cpu/gpu):

https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to/mate9-takes-advantage-1ghz-gpu-t3601524
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] lolmensch:
additionally go for the display options

try disabling smart resolution, fiddling around with the dpi in the development settings etc. I don't really play games a lot but cytus 2 and hearthstone are fine. Ark was a mess though :D
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] alvinlwh:
While I don't play emulation games, I think that many apps are written for SD only. I had came across a number of apps that cannot be installed on this tablet without sideloading and suspect that the CPU is the reason. This could cause the problems you are experiencing?

Thanks to everyone who followed up. Most appreciated!

I've been working away at this for a couple days now.

I've been using 3C Toolbox Pro to freeze unnecessary applications (including the ones previously suggested), used various governors and CPU configurations (all cores overclocked, all cores online etc), enabled GPU rendering, utilized smart resolution, disabled animations, disabled battery saver, have all ROMs running off internal (not external storage) and disabled several more broadcast receivers. I went so far to reset the tablet back to stock firmware and the results were the same.

So I'm thinking it's either a hardware issue, an incompatibility with EMUI or an issue with Huawei's implementation of Oreo.

I've already started a return with the Vendor so if the issue continues with the replacement, we can rule out hardware failure.

Hi,

I've updated to Android P and found out the trusted face and trusted voice options are no longer available in the Smart Lock.

Is it just me or these options were removed?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] itzik_man:
Both options are still there in android p!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] murphyjasonc:
Something I did on Oreo removed them. I cleaned flashed Android P and both options were back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] chillmeow:
I figured out.

It's related to the Google Play Service version.

I installed 13.2.72 and the trusted voice and trusted face are not presented.

Rolled back to 12.8.74 and both options showed up.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] HighonBolo:
Hi, i'm asking to devs if it's possible to port say Galaxy S9's rom to Treble enabled devices or even other manufacterer roms such as LG's or HTC? I thought S9 was released with Oreo, therefore it should have Treble support and could its stock rom can be used a GSI rom or am i wrong? Thanks in advance.

[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] Xhah:
I'm doing a lot of research about GSIs and Project Treble recently; and that was the FIRST thing that came in my mind.

"What if my Xiaomi could run Samsung Experience?"

I absolutely love Stock Android; and Android Pie looks pretty close to Samsung Experience 9.0 based on Oreo.

But still; it'd be nice to have Galaxy Note's exclusive features on a bloody Xiaomi!

I think its going to be a headache for developers; but a bug-free, smooth running Samsung Experience GSI would be a bombshell for sure!
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] aaron74:
I'm not a Dev but I can tell you, No it'll never happen!

Here's some reasons why....

Project treble is just a way to separate proprietory vendor files and driver's from the base of ROM and giving them a standard to interface with new roms. It means the device is compliant with treble roms, not that their stock ROM is.

Treble roms are built from source code and that code is written to allow 1 GSI to be installed on multiple devices and work their hardware. Samsung has no source code for their roms.

Allot of Samsung's features are all tied in with their framework and also hardware dependent.

So the only way to remotely get a manufacturer ROM on another device is by porting. Which is a difficult process.
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] LR7875:
Thanks, but I wanna ask what will happen if I done these:

1. ADB pull everything from /system on a rooted Samsung phone

2. Repack it into system.img

3. Use erfangsi tool to convert it into a GSI

Not challenging you, just completely out of my curiosity.
