[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Having a bad day seeing this . 😐😐

Samsung is being very aggresive with throttling .

Also just look at those slow frames of exynos 2100 even at the 1st cool run without the throttle .

Instead of getting better exynos is getting more worse with software updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Goku1992:
My exynos makes 690k dobt know whats wrong with the exynos from this YouTube guy...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Sd888 is making 780k

Exynos is still 15% behind .

And it shows as well in games .

I dont know whether its optimizations or what .

But my oneplus on sd855 ( 2 generations old ) is much more smoother in games , gaming menus ,

Navigating in call of duty menus is so much laggy in exynos , where as it is super smooth in sd855.

I repeat , it could be optimization , but still we dont know whether it would be optimized ever or not .

Running wqhd 120 hz , ( was same on 1080p as well )
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Moreover in sustained performance , i dont know how sd888 is keeping up , where as exynos just throttles to 65-70% ( may be to keep it cool )

Ill prefer a bit hotter phone with on par performance rather than a cooler one with throttled performance .
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Goku1992:
Okay thats right... Dont understand why Samsung used the weaker gpu...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Gpu is not that weak , it should be atleast at par with the sd865 .

But when it comes to performance it is behind , because of poor optimization of apps for mali gpu , and agressive governor by samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Goku1992:
Hmm okay. On reviews they write that mali is a good 10-15percent weaker. Doesnt knew that they are on pair. But if there is better optimization the exynos should score higher cause of the higher cpu clocks...its strange... Hope a custom kernel will come...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] marko94:
Hi did you switched from Op 9 pro to s21 ultra ?

I have op9pro and thinking of switching to S21 ultra exynos..is it good call ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
No i bought the s21 ultra and did not buy the oneplus 9 pro , because oneplus is not supposed to ask that amount of money.

I got the s21 ultra at almost the same price of oneplus 9 pro .

I think both are the same . Sd888 is going to bit better .

Btw why do you want to shift from oneplus ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] marko94:
Just thinking of it..almost same price, as I saw better camera on Samsung, build quality, like more premium phone etc. More SW yearly support etc.

Op has low battery life, rarely can get 5 h sot , camera is miss and match
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
S21 ultra has heating issues both in exynos and sd

My s21 ultra is super warm even with normal usage .

While using the camera it gets super duper hot .
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tobias14:
No heating issues at all with my s21u exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Keyvannn:
Same here.exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sithlordpt:
Mine. Exynos, April update.

No heating issues, no drain issues, no performance issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] pafc66:
I don't know how anyone would bother getting the Exynos. It's trash. I went straight for the snapdragon and couldn't be happier.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sithlordpt:
Maybe because China and USA are not the whole world.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ssj100:
Furthermore, there've been mixed reports on which is clearly better. Last year, it appeared unanimous that the SD was superior in every way.

This time however, there are several reports that the Exynos is better in battery and general photography. It also appears that the Exynos has closed the gap even more with gaming after the April update, with some reports showing it's got slightly ahead in specific scenarios. For example:

One clear win for the SD was with lowlight videos, but this has also improved significantly for Exynos with the April update - with the main lens, I actually prefer the Exynos now for lowlight videos.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
You are living in a cooler country my friend .

Our ambient temperatures are 35°C to 40°C

And 40°C is the threshold point for processor in Samsung.

Thats what makes a difference
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Goku1992:
But every electronical device runs at its limit in this temperatures ://
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sithlordpt:
You can use samsung labs to increase threshold by 2°C.

Snapdragon 888 also includes the FastConnect 6900 system that brings Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and 802.11 a/b/g/n, along with Bluetooth 5.2. Further, the chipset includes support for GPS, Glonass, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, NavIC, and SBAS. It also supports NFC.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Wagnerian:
My question is when will they improve the video format? The bit rate is really low and the 4K video is significantly less sharp than competitors due to this. Why is it so hard just to use the normal bit rate?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Guys if you are not too happy with the video quality, just get the Filmic Pro app. Yes, it costs 15 euros on the play store, and YES, it is totally worth it. Just watch some YouTube videos on how to use it properly as there is some learning curve.

The latest version gives so many control options over video that it makes the original CAM app look like a joke. Plus if you are after some slow motion while retaining quality, it has a 1080p 120fps recording option.

Uses both ultra wife and main sensors. Has selectable video quality and also video formats, audio settings and many more things.

I was hesitant about buying it as it is expensive but i do am glad i went for it.

Filmic's video quality is definitely superior to the original app.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] highlightshadow:
My scores have improved yes a bit but my real-world gaming performance is a lot worse on the newer firmware..

Everything else seems ok / better but gaming is definitely lower frame-rates than before ... which was already barely any better than my SD865 device
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sithlordpt:
And Exynos too.

1080 p 120 ?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BaltazarIX:
Just received mine S21U 256GB (European version). I'll post later some antutu results and example photos. A friend of mine has S21U too and so far he has not experienced any overheating issues. He told me that his SOT is about 7h over 48h
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Hmm fair enough, thanks for noting buddy!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] UNIK97122:
U'r welcome, it will be cool if someone could compare both quality
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:

I've got mine S21U(exynos) today, April update
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] fdomi:
Very good result! How did you get your copy of the AnTuTu app? I heard there are many unrealiable places to download it from, wrapped with malware, so I have been reluctant to download it, unless reassured of a version that's clean and good to run.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BaltazarIX:
I've downloaded main app from https://www.antutu.com/en/download.htm and 3D helper from Galaxy Store. I was assuming that downloading app from antutu.com will be safest option but that must be a reason why it's not in Google Store...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Keyvannn:
Geekbench 5.4
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BaltazarIX:
I've ran geekbench 5.4.0 too, FHD+, April update
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Oh boy, the difference is immense.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Keyvannn:
Xiaomi and oneplus are always better in Benchmark. But i think in daily use galaxy phones are more stable .

S21u with snapdragon 888 has almost same Performance as Exynos 2100.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Berserker900:
Not complaining tbh, i never did a rendering on my device. I have a humongous PC for that.

Also yeah, i did not see much difference when i compared mine E2100 to my friends HK SD.

He lost couple of things coz he imported it while i did not.

But i just wanted to share the video and read your opinion guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Both oneplus and xiaomi are going to 45°c or even higher .

Whereas samsungs stays cool at 40°c.

Moreover both processors are made by samsung this time around ,

So tbh samsung is reducing the benchmarks results of sd888 , so that people dont complain .

In general sd888 is scoring better in both geekbench and antutu as compared to e2100
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Goku1992:
Yes thats right but we can say exynos isnt that bad as the last years... Isnt as fast as snapdragon but better than last gen snapdragon lol... Last year it was also slower and less eficient than the snapdragon the year before so now it isnt as bad... But yes Samsung should have made the exynos on pair, especially the gpu is a few Generations behind...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BaltazarIX:
Two weeks ago I was more into Xiaomi Mi 11 ultra, OP 9 Pro was total disappointment. But after watching reviews, seeing that both Xiaomi and OP can get so hot that they have to dim screen brightness was terrifying.

I prefer to have slightly less benchmark score and have cooler and more stable device.

I'm not mobile gamer, I have really decent PC and Nintendo Switch as a backup.

Last year Snapdragon vs Exynos was bad but this year I'm even glad that I have Exynos. I watched some benchmarks, and it looks like Snapdragon is better with GPU tasks, Exynos wins in CPU tasks. Considering that I'm not even bothering playing games on my smartphone I don't have complaints.

Or maybe one... photos from Snapdragon version looks sharper if I'm not mistaken. I don't had a chance for some outdoor testing cause currently the weather for my area is rainy.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sithlordpt:
Photos are better on exynos and low-light videos are better on snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ssj100:
With video for the main lens, I actually prefer Exynos now (in following video, you can see SD is more noisy, and more micro-jitters). For ultra-wide, SD still comfortably ahead though:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Goku1992:
Yes the s21 ultra is a beast in terms of battery life but also for the exynos... Can make two days with 8-9 hors sot with much mobile data... If im on wlan i can make a good 9-12sot...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dave3211:
I have a telus CDMA Touch Diamond.

I have has for 3 weeks and the TouchFLO 3D interface multiple times does not load.

I have gone into the Today screen and unchecked the TouchFLO 3D, soft reset and then re-check and reset again. It still will not open.

I have even removed battery to see if that will resolve it

What would cause this issue?

As usual, the 3rd party support at HTC advises to hard reset, is this the only advise they can provide, oh, and they are suprised that this has never happened, I called 2 week ago with same issue.

I really do not want to hard reset every 2 weeks, this is not a resolution.

Any suggestion, I am really pi$#ed right now.

Please any suggestions to solve this issue, throwing out the windows seems to be an option right now!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wolfenstein:
on my diamond, when having a custom theme installed, deleting all *_manila files from the windows dir seems to be the best way to go back to the original theme (which still is in the rom). I had a similar problem yesterday, when i failed at manually editing one of the manila-files to add another tab-page (for a calendar).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yaneca:
The "Normal" display mode of the Huawei P30 Pro is more or less correct in terms of sRGB calibration as reviews already found out, but for those who prefer the "Vivid" mode, want to have a wider color gamut, watch DCI-P3 video content or Adobe RGB photos - reviewers just noted that the "Vivid" display mode is not well calibrated in terms of grayscale but didn't propose a manual calibration setting using the color wheel.

I worked with a colorimeter until I came up with a setting maximally close to the correct 6500k whites and neutral grayscale and thought that it may be useful to other users too, after all there is so much wide gamut photo and video content nowadays.

Here is the manual color wheel setting for the "Vivid" mode resulting in a deltaE of 1.5 on my P30 Pro:

And here is the fine tuning of sRGB calibration for the "Normal" mode, deltaE of 1.7 on my P30 Pro:

Flashed TWRP now I have no recovery at all and it just reboots when I try going to recovery on Moto G Power.

I got the zip from the Moto TWRP thread and it's twrp 3.5 supposedly the latest.

I've been flashing it with the file on my PC "fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img" where can I place the recovery on my phone so I can flash it from the phone. I don't know the path for the phone directories so can't qualify its pathname on the phone.
[Moto G Power (2021)] Rukkyakakporo:
I'm having something close to this, though mine is blackview. I'm guessing this is a new problem as mine happen about a week now and I've gat sleepless night ransacking the internet with no success yet.

I unlocked my BV9600pro with Android8.1 bootloader using fastboot then flashed on it TWRP before I learnt I just could have patched the Boot.img and flash in to get root, which I’ve done, now the device is rooted and when I’m trying to boot to recovery it display Orange State and goes to No Command screen.

I have tried some keys combinations on the No Command screen like the Vol+ and Power button but the device booted to bootloader options and when I selected recovery mode again I was back to Orange State and to no command, then I tried vol- and power button but that booted to Orange State then normal boot.

I edited lk.img and flashed on my bv9600pro it just remove the Orange State Display but won't still give access to recovery, I had to reflash on the device the stock lk.img and stock recovery.img and still can't boot to recovery. I'm guessing it's all as a result of the unlocking. Please any other way to fix this to enable me access recovery with the root?

I actually want to have the TWRP on the device to allow Nandroid backup and eaisily flashing on the device my custom ROMs.
[Moto G Power (2021)] sd_shadow:
What does getvar all say?

fastboot getvar all
[Moto G Power (2021)] piiman:
more likely the unofficial twrp. The unlocking shouldn't cause issues since its unlockable by Moto itself. .

Mine seem to flash the recovery very quickly (under 2 secs) so I'm wondering if I have the proper rights and it isn't actually writing the .img file but just guessing.

thanks for the reply

My Xperia 1 is now stuck at boot screen. Specifically, it is stuck at XPERIA animation after the initial SONY banner.

I didn't do any damage to my phone. It just happened that battery drained overnight, and after recharge next day it just doesn't boot.

I would like to do a factory reset, but looks like I couldn't. Both Xpedia Companion & flashtool claimed the phone it locked. I didn't unlock bootloader nor I could get into phone's settings to change the situation...

Is there anything I can do to boot it up or do factory reset?

Hey, bit late answer, but I had same issue around start of March. Same symptoms, I let the battery drain out and it didn't no longer boot.

I took it to my phone provider asap, cause it isn't the first time my Xperia 1 has acted up.

The provider fixed under warranty and I assume they changed out the motherboard, cause I have new IMEI. Needless to say I lost all my internal data.
