I appreciate you testing this out!

Thank you for the offer to test other things but I don't think that is needed. The only other thing would be to try and use ADB to reboot into the bootloader BUT I have seen a few people complain this has sent them into a boot loop so it potentially is not safe to try. I don't want you to risk your device like that. Testing with the button combo like you did showed what I wanted to see, the bootloader does not seem fixed yet.

I did find someone talking about it on the OnePlus forums saying that latest update for Indian variant seems to fix the bootloader issue. Lets hope this gets pushed out to the other variants soon.

[OnePlus 10T 5G] horsecharles:
TY. Hopeful DP you just supplied. Yeh- was similarly worried re ADB.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] vcfvct:
It seems like the fixed version(14.0.0.300) mentioned in that post is the same # as what we got in North America?
[OnePlus 10T 5G] Jager:
Good catch! I just noticed that as well. There was one guy in that thread who claimed it worked without having to reset his phone or anything. The only thing is that thread is for the 10 Pro and not the 10T so we don't know if the updates are the same even though they have the same number.

I'm personally going to wait a week or two if I can stand the excessive battery drain for that long on the current version I'm running. Going to see if OnePlus releases an additional update within those two weeks.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] gumetallica:
I hated android 14 for 10t. it greatly increase battery expenditure and had a very annoying bug when opening task view (black screen)

Hello,

I purchased a 100% working HTC 8525 (case fair) from Ebay. I have a few questions: 1) I would like to unlock it, any risk in doing this? 2) I have read in the forums some problems with Wm6 upgrading, is it really worth it? 3) The slide is loose, is there a way to tighten it? or replace the case?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kareeem:
In your title, you mention the HTC 8525 and in your discussion, it's the HTC 8125. Which is it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
1). Yes... Do some reading first.

2). WM6 faster than WM5, WM6.1 faster still....

3). Yes, Do a search for Mike Channon. Links to his site for guide on how to fix Hermes sliders in his sig.

Mod Edit: here's a link: http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com/?_c11_BlogPart_BlogPart=blogview&_c=BlogPart&partqs=cat%3dHermes%2bFixes

apologies for cheeky edit - Mike

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
No worries Mike, haven't seen you around lately...

Besides, I bow to the master....:p:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 8525Smart:
Speaking from experience as a relatively new 8525 user too, I can make some comments.

1) To begin, the method of unlocking was among the easiest I've ever seen. I simply downloaded a program and then ran it. I liked it so much I even donated to the author; it really is nothing more than downloading and running.

2) There are some problems with everything, but if you do it correctly, then nothing should go wrong. Likewise with the previous one, I was surprised to discover that upgrading from WM5 to WM6 took nothing more than downloading and running the program. Admittedly, I didn't find many things impressive about WM6 over WM5, but it is visually much nicer, and people add a lot of nice things, so I do recommend it.

3) There most likely is a way to fix it, but unfortunately, I would not know well. I'm not exactly the most talented person with my hands.

Anyway, although what I said about simply downloading and running the programs is true, I fully recommend that you read all the FAQs and guides first, which is what I did (out of intense fear that I would brick my phone). Before doing anything else, I would highly recommend installing Hard SPL (I believe the SIM unlocker program can install this for you too, but the newest version is better).

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
Anyone else noticed in some instances the s24u is much more washed out compared to s23u...icons look bad so does some other apps

Contrast is much better but colours sometimes look anaemic

They look awesome in HDR mode but that's only supported limited

Also the freaking nav bar is adding extra dead space at the bottom in most apps
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Jaxom84:
Yes, it was pointed out in a few reviews on YouTube.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] schnitzfickel:
on german forum "android-hilfe" S24U owners are also reporting about display issues

https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...im-galaxy-s24-ultra-nicht-normal.1078817.html
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
Basically the vivid mode on # s24 looks like the natural mode on s23 so I'm guessing is not actually working... hopefully a fix will come
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Jaxom84:
The difference between vivid and natural is... Slightly warmer colors on vivid. But it really isn't obvious. I had to switch in and out multiple times to be sure about this difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
The vivid mode on my s24 ultra doesn't really work...when put side by side with my s23 ultra the difference is huge

If I set my s23 in natural mode then it looks like the s24 in vivid mode....so something is fishy
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] duchian:
yes, I have noticed it as well. I have switched from S22 Ultra and colors in games looks like washed. That's disappointing
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Rapier:
I used the NavStar Good Lock module to make that area transparent and now the screen is used from top to bottom in almost all cases, the gesture hint is on top. Best result that could be achieved so far
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Hi there!

I was so excited about the S24 Ultra, and I can't wait to explore everything it has to offer. But I've noticed something interesting when comparing it to my trusty Note 20 Ultra: the S24 Ultra's screen colors seem a bit muted compared to the vibrant display on my older phone. It's almost like my four-year-old friend is suddenly the life of the party with its colorful personality!

I just wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this, or if there might be a setting I haven't found yet that could change things up. I've already tried turning off adaptive color and brightness on both phones and setting them to vivid mode with the same resolution, but the difference remains.

Here's a quick picture to show you what I mean (the effect is even more noticeable in person!).

Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
The 20U image looks oversaturated to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
The picture may not be full accurate I took it using another phone. But when you compare side by side you will notice s24 Ultra colours are washed out.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Use a color chart to actually gauge the throughput. The S24U looks more life like to me... I'm no fan of this phone, just my observation.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
There was a workaround on the S23 Ultra to turn Eye Comfort Shield on and adjust the color tone to your liking. That was the only way to get colors as vibrant as the S22 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
Am waiting for that system update patch that should hopefully fix it as there's loads having this issue and is very likely a software calibration
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] craftycarper1:
Which is more accurate to what your eyes saw?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] craftycarper1:
Ah, I'm guessing you didn't take the actual photo, just using the image as a comparison?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] can_85:
I can confirm that s24 ultra's screen is less vibrant than S22 Ultra's

Even when I tuned down myself the color sliders of 22 all the way down.

I like the new one, the older screen was very colorful for me.

I think it's due to new Gorilla glass or it's anti reflective coating.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
I think it will take a while for some to adjust to the more accurate color balance of the S24U after years of living with overly saturated displays.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nex_t:
I hope they fix this ( software updates)

The colors look washed out, compared with S23 Ultra, Note 20 Ultra....
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nex_t:
Are you talking about the washed out colors?

If there is no fix for that, I'll return it.

Some people like more vibrant colors, some not, but they can play with the settings / adjust the colors.... if it looks to vibrant
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Doesn't it natively select AMOLED Cinema when playing vids with the Samsung vid player? That's too over saturated for photos and normal usage through. Samsung implemented that feature in 2019 I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] snazzer:
For some reason didn't work for me :( also tried to reset all settings but nope.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] power_book:
S23U also need updated firmware featuring Vividness Slider UI.

They removed above options in Android 14
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
There's no issues with the S23U though
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] power_book:
There is. compared to S21 Ultra. And RGB color balance adjustment slides don't work in S23 or S24.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] losonn:
Samsung phones all have banding to varying degrees compared to something with a better graphics implementation like an iPhone. It's weird but for most any banding that folks are seeing on Samsung phones the banding will rotate when you rotate the display - it's a graphics / processing issue not a display hardware issue. IIRC Samsung devices are still rendering in 8 bit color without a proper dithering implementation that would allow it to simulate 10 bit color.

My S24 Ultra's display has some noticeable banding in green and grey when using display checker apps or yt videos and I believe this is expected behavior.

The graininess issue is different. I think it's still unclear at this point whether the S24 Ultra displays suffering from elevated levels of perceived grain will actually be considered defective. It's possible that Samsung has just increased the amount of unit display variation that they view as acceptable.

TLDR: color banding is normal, some S24 Ultra units clearly suffer from graininess that exceeds the unit variation range that was present on previous phones, it's unclear whether Samsung will consider these extra grainy units defective.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
I've had my fair share of experiences with the iPhone Pro Max 14, but I can confidently say that the S24 Ultra has won me over as my top choice.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] d0ce:
For the record, I can also absolutely get behind Samsung offering a more vivid option for those having already seared their retinas with the historical profile. But washed out? No, not at all.

Just wanted to drop a positive note for those who might be looking at this thread prior to purchasing.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
Yes, I agree. Give people more opinions, not less. At least whoever is the product manager did what a good one must do, listen and pivot as needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sidfirex:
I for one am happy with the current natural colors, no way will be trying out the new vivid mode once the update drops
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tdetroit:
Here's the odd thing....I got my S24 Ultra about 10 days ago and initially the screen looked bland compared to my S23 Ultra sitting right next to it...however, now-10 days later, it's almost like it's "settled" in and looks nearly identical to the S23 Ultra. I made no adjustments at all, but it looks just as saturated.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] carlitos66:
what about the brightness? Same as S23U? Because on the unit I have received it is dimmer. I like the washed colors, but the brightness bothers me a lot. Not on adaptive brightness setting, on normal brightness, slider all the way up. How is your brightness compared to S23U?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] snazzer:
Great, we are finally getting the update that should have been there in a first place :D

Now to real queation is... When? Its been like a half a month allready.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
My S24+ is noticeably dimmer than my previous S21+, compared side by side.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] furfmonkey:
I believe you need to use the extra brightness function to break even..
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
I always have it on adaptive. Does the extra brightness kick in when in the sun, at least? Haven't had the opportunity yet to test it outside..
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Rapier:
It is clearly visible. You cannot manually activate extra brightness while adaptive brightness is active but it activates automatically. This is by far the most impressive display outside. I had S23U and used it last summer on the seaside while checking mails, photos, social media and such...I had hard times to actually read something in my mails with all the outdoor sun and finger smudges on the display.

This issue is non existent on the S24U, I can clearly see everything, colors in the pictures or great movies, also can easily read anything. Big plus...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
It's also thanks to this anti-reflective coating.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Rapier:
Indeed, the reflective thing is impressive, I am eagerly waiting for the summer and test it on the beachfront, relaxing in a loungechair with a huge cocktail besides me 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
we don't have that on the plus series unfortunately :/

Brightness seems the same, but one caveat...I never crank my brightness all the way to max.

does anyone see the grian issue on the screen in low brightness? i wanna see all models in all regions have the issue or its limited to some regions manufacture
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] goodwin_c:
unless it is visible in "normal" environmental conditions - this doesn't look like an issue - small graininess is ok for modern amoled (all my devices have it - from my old s21u, my previous Watch4, my current Watch6, and my current S24U). but it shouldn't be visible in normal situations, only in full darkness with a fully dimmed screen
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
Nope. Extra brightness on the S24U is like The S23U with it disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
I'm looking at both my S23U and my S24U and it's pretty much a draw with both set at maximum brightness.

Maybe for our edification, you can show us this extra brightness function on a screen shot because my S24U doesn't have it in display settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
You have to disable adaptive brightness for the extra brightness toggle..
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] d0ce:
Summer here down under. Screen performance outdoors is choice as. I've found that the screen as a whole is a massive upgrade from the S23U.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
Still pretty much a draw and painfully bright on that setting at full brightness. Not sure what the issue is with yours.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
S23U is painfully bright. But S24U is about 10% dimmer. 2 different S24U One Manufactured Late december and the other made Jan 30th. The later ones screen is just a tad bit more brighter than my first S24U but still dimmer. Demo models in stores are the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
What measuring equipment did you use to arrive at that 10%?

when i try to take a photo with s24, while i zoom, it's like earthquake hit my room, camera shifting so badly.

and new update of 550mb aint gonna fix that we know that.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Jaxom84:
Not necessarily, handling a better transitions between cameras lenses can be done in a few lines of code, so 554MB sounds like something reasonable, actually.

Usual updates only fixing a few things and applying the new security patch are around 512MB, so the extra 42MB could definitely be a packed update for the camera app and a few other delights. 🤔
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] furfmonkey:
Then why are you in a s24 forum? Just to troll?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] goodpenguin:
Same here, you will only notice it at first but once your eyes acclimate to the more natural colors, you will notice it is much more comfortable to the eyes. It doesn't blind you when opening your screen in dim lights and make you sleep faster.

But I will still try the new vivid settings and see which one will I use or I may adjust it depending on what app I am using.

I've seen lots of postings and I genuinely believe some of them simply had buyers regret 😂 and were looking for any excuse to send the phones back!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
It was already announced earlier this week it was happening offically.

But does this fix banding, grain, dull whites, etc
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] beeree7:
Has anyone else tried the contrast options in developer options? It seems to help with the contrast. The Auto Brightness seems like it could be just a notch brighter. But I'm assuming that Samsung is just activating the 3 options in developer options.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
The whole problem with the dial it in by eye methods even if available means the color calibration and especially gamma calibration will be way off. Even with excellent color perception it's impossible to do it by eye.

The end result will be what look right in one image or vid will be noticeably off in another.

Color throughput from the cam will be greatly effected too; photo editing will be impossible to do on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] beeree7:
I'm just assuming this is what Samsung is going to do in the new update coming up with the new vividness slider with 3 options. So, this is just early access to that coming feature. Everyone has different opinions of how they like their screens. Obviously, there are enough people that wanted more contrast in their screens or Samsung would've just ignored all the comments or new phone returns because of screens being "dull" instead of pushing an update to allow the options.
