myTouch 4G Slide - first impressions

Hi all,
(I just joined today - hope you would go easy on me as I am still learning the xda etiquette.)
Just received my T-mobile HTC myTouch 4G slide and activated it on Sunday.
(Now before I jump onto my first impression of the phone, let me be clear - Till Sunday, I was proud owner of Nokia N900. I still love that phone. But I had to jump onto the Android bangwagor sooner or later since Nokia decided to to WinMo way. N900 was a solid phone with an unpolished/unfinished OS. Nokia never gave it a chance to mature.)
So, please keep in mind that I am new to Android as well as HTC and the phone itself.
Here is what I liked in my one full day of playing with the hardware and the OS/Software:
1. Android is fast, stable and polished, and enough apps to install one every day for rest of my life.
2. Phone is fast, not much stutter, has not crashed yet. Data connection is stable and voice quality is good.
3. UI looks, er, shiny (I do not give much weight to this, but apparently, a lot of people do, given popularity of 'certain' phones).
4. Keyboard is good. (one of the main reasons to buy the phone, as querty keyboard is a must for me )
Now onto negatives:
1. Lack of user control - though I have flexibility in controlling a lot of things on Android, there are a lot of other things which I really want to control but can not - i.e. uninstall t-mo / HCT bloatware (see my next point).
2. Bloatware - this was a shock to me. N900 is a clean device with no crap installed. T-Mo and HTC made sure I start hating my phone on day one by giving me pre-installed uninstallable crap. Not only I do not want them, it actually confuses me. I do not have a dedicated media player - but I have a 'Media Room' with T-Mobile TV and Slacker Radio (and none of them are complete versions). Bejeweled 2, T-mo backup, Highlight, Friend Stream - the list goes on, and I can not remove any of the app.
3. Android - no default file manager. Are you kidding me?
4. Contact - multiple entries from multiple sources (i.e. 411 & more is listed 4 times - one from google, one from tmo backup, one from phone and one from sd card). I know I can link them, or disable view of some of them, but god damn it - it's confusing as hell.
5. Camera - now don't get me wrong. The camera on this phone may be one of the best among Android/iphone phones, but where it gives you a lot of megapixels, the lens (and hence the quality) does not hold water against N900. Software can not make up for hardware limitations.
6. Battery - I almost ran out of juice before I even reached home from work in the evening - and that too from very limited use. Yes, I used phone for quite a bit, but without wireless/gps. I understand the display eats battery, but come on - shouldn't a smartphone be up on batter for one full day?
I will add more as I come across.
Please note that this is not a rant - there is some genuine disappointment with my first real hands on with Android/HTC. With the bloatware on this phone, I feel like I am being take advantage off, and I hate that feeling.
I am a linux user for 12 years (personally and professionally - as a programmer) and I consider myself a power-user (though not anywhere near Guru level), and so far, the phone has not given me even a default file browser.
I really hope to find more positive things to say, as I am committed to Android now that there is hardly any other linux-y OS out there.
Thanks

I agree. i havent upgraded since the G1.... i was very excited ... and first hands on was huge disapointment. bloatware, yes, and no skype video ...thats an android issue but none the less the phone seemed very unorganized and i was getting a billion messages from all over the internet with the bloatware subrcribing me to every little notification.

All of your problems except for "Camera issues" will be fixed as soon as S-OFF is available, and dev's will begin porting roms and developing roms. I expect overclocking to be tremendous with this dual core processor, since the mytouch 4g can now be clocked to over 2.0 ghz.
*If you want a file manager download astro from the market.
I forgot whether it requires root or not. If that one does, there are many other file managers just search.

Seems like the judgments are extra harsh and could all be solved by software, unrooting, etc. I'm stoked to be able to overclock to 2 GHz and then some. S-OFF on the MT4GS will be awesome!!!

There are many very good free media players/music players on the market (ex. Tinyplayer) . Same with the file managers, Astro is recommended. That's what the market is there for, as they knew dovelopers could provide the device with excellent applications.

Can you confirm if google talk video chat works? I've heard it does not support it even though it's 2.3.4 . Thank you.

It seems you have heard it right.
Apparently, I did not know:
1. Android 2.3.4 enabled voice/video chat for GTalk app.
2. I certainly did not know HTC/T-MO decided to disable it!
Instead, there is Qik Video Chat app from tmo. For some reason, they think it's equivalent to gtalk? *facepalm*
(Now I hope I am wrong, but I have checked all options on GTalk app, and I do not see either video or audio icon next to my contacts, even if they are available to chat on video).
Let me add that to another negative.

Thanks. I know it's pretty new device, and mods/root/s-off will be available soon. That's why I have registered here. I was just giving first impression of the stock device. Yes, I have already downloaded Astro (does not require root). Not much impressed, but gets the job done.

Yes, I know it would get resolved by software/unrooting. That's why I am on this forum. As I said above, these is my first impression of the stock device. And no - I don't think it's harsh at all. Sorry if I came across like that.

Sure there are. But my point is that there are some apps which should come by default on the phone as part of the OS (e.g. Google Search, Contact, Calendar are part of the vanilla Android), and File manager should be at the very top. Anyways, I have already downloaded Astro, and many other apps to play around with it.
I am definitely looking forward to get rid of the software as soon as I can. Otherwise, this baby will have to go back.
Thank you for your comments.

How about Skype support since no one I know or no one those people know or those people know that know those people uses Gtalk or Qik.

Skype is audio only. No video support.

I moved from a very old android phone so this phone has so far not been able to truly lag on me.
My last phone was regular android even with stock so that is what I wanted. I'm not one to modify my home screen at all. I like the default black 2.3 look and that's what I want. Not Sense.
The fact that I have to void my warranty just to remove it makes me furious. Of course I could bring it back to none rooted state for that. Regardless I think it's hilarious that a bunch of marketing folks think they know better then I do. Heh.
I've made Android apps before and actually code for a living so it's pretty easy to tell that it's a rushed job. The sense front end has no way to disable contact finding so your phone basically becomes facebook and puts contact suggestions directly into your notifications based on your contacts.
Every single "built in" application then requires you to then agree to the terms of service for that specific application. Things like "KidZone", "Highlight", "T-Mobile Mall", "T-Mobile TV". One of the silliest ones is "doubleTwist" which when opened shows you a splash that asks you to click a "Send Email" button which sends you a link to download the app. It then removes itself off the phone. Sounds like malware to me.
So some company payed off Tmo to put this app on my phone so they can harvest my email. Yay.

I'm personally hoping Blah and Sparks port PyroMod to the MT4Gs after root and S-Off are achieved. But that's just me, and I like to add as much memory as possible (A2EXT would certainly enable THAT).
Also, to OP, just wait until root is available and you'll see just how amazing Android can be. I recommend OI File Manager for a default one (this is the one preinstalled on Cyanogenmod-based ROMs). I switched to this one after too many buggy Astro updates and they started with ad-supported versions.

Please. Read the title of the post first.

I just realized something: Why hasn't the hacking/development community made a "status of root update" thread for the Doubleshot the way they did for the Vision? Permaroot and S-OFF are what's really holding me back from getting this device (PyroMod 2.3.5's speedy boot time on the Vision actually DOES rival that of dual-core phones, so I'm in no hurry to get it; I'm just asking why there isn't one).

I'm only LOL because I've never ported for this phone. I've managed to blind port other phones. I've actually had a good history porting the Atrix and having it work well, so with any luck, this will be another success.
Just wanted to make sure people really understood that this has not been tested at all. That's all

EDIT:
Great job and all the work in here...Th3Bill and Pony....and all involved...AWESOME!

I'll test it after school...almost time to leave...don't want to have to go to school with a phone stuck in a boot loop , I wonder how this will compare to galnets/theROMinators miui bug wise...

Don't see what your issue with me is
I already build MIUI for a phone I don't own, and have great success porting other roms to phones I don't own (CNA, AOKP, AOKPCB, and MIUI for Atrix). If you want to see how well my MIUI builds go on blind ports, ask someone using my build over on the Atrix.
I understand that you don't like my LOL, but I am a happy guy. I tend to put LOL when I don't have anything else to put...just a force of habit.
I figured I'd try to put up something that you guys could use. It's not going to blow up your phone. What catastrophe are you indicating might happen? Wow...boot loops. That's a really huge problem.
I DO know what I am doing with this, and wouldn't put something out if I didn't. If you want to check out some of the work I do, look at Kitchen Sink over at the Photon/Atrix forums. 5 roms and 100 options in ONE zip, all done with Aroma....and built by Jokersax and myself.

I don't have an issue with you. You may be a great dev for the photon. The software for a moto phone and a Samsung phone are totally different. Im just trying to help the infuse community out by warning people about a rom that may or may not pan out. Who wants to spend the day restoring a phone? It wasn't meant to sound mean. Just a caution for people.

Believe me, that's why I put in the OP that I am a Photon dev. I blind-port for the Atrix. It's really not that hard to do, honestly once you've ported your own native device, as most of the same files go into each port from MIUI....and once you get it done right once, the future builds take less than an hour or two to get ported...
As for restoring....that's what nandroid does wonders for...but if this DOES work, it's a really nice rom that has some great options....not sure if you've used Aroma on any roms. It's really trick.

Note: How to use Battery Doctor on Android 4.4 KitKat
Android 4.4_r1 removed the possibility for apps to request for the BATTERY_INFO permission, This is the commit https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/3714141d287c965ea3451831dd5167f63f8db87b%5E%21/
The reason (issue mentioned) for the commit is unknown.
This permission and the access to batterystats - formerly known as batteryinfo - service is vital for use cases (and apps) dealing with analysing awake and wakeup causes (battery drainers) as this services gives access to partial wakelocks and alarms.
I would like to request a rollback of the mentioned commit. See issue 61975
Here is a Solution from XDA forum by Xposed and download Version 6.2.0, Android 4.3 or older is well, you can flash older ROM

Hi
Everybody. Please give me a feedback!

I have installed the latest version and as soon as I activated One power guard my phone was rendered useless. The phone instantly rebooted and reboots as soon as I try to do anything. I can't even uninstall the app because as soon as I touch the screen I get a reboot again. I really wanted this to work as it's plain to see the developer has put a great deal of time and hard work into developing this. It may be that I am getting these issues because I am using it on a pretty dated device (Galaxy S i9000) I hope that these issues can be sorted and it proves to live up to it's promise.

Works fine for me, a lot better than Green Power which I used before. No issues so far.
CM 10.2 based ROM on a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE
Wishlist:
- plugin for Locale or Tasker to support automatic change of profiles based on certain conditions
- more in-app information about settings ( http://www.twofortyfouram.com/developer)
- better localization
- allow for I/O-settings, Ril, vm, ... - not just saying that it does something, but tell what exactly does it do. Maybe in settings screen, not the toast message

First Thank you for your support!
I think 3072K is the best in most of the ROM, Here is an app that it can test sdcard speed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ales.veluscek.sdtools
I usually set to 3072K.
In General, It is easy to consume battery if The speed rate is set smaller.

Do you mean to make a plugin that Tasker can change profiles of OPG? if so. I think this is a good idea.
Some in-app information is writed by blog, Because a lot of information.
Yes. it is very important. This needs some help from enthusiastic users.
OK. I will open some settings source.

I've been using this from the beginning and have always found it a great help. For me, one of the best things about it is that you don't have to be an expect to use it and can learn as you go along. Good to see a pro version out now. I have a question and a suggestion
Firstly, my license file is backed up but when I upgrade my device, is it easily transferable or is it device specific?
My suggestion; I should like to be able to set the app to change profiles at set times automatically, without having to use an external app; is this something you would consider?

1. the license file can be used when you upgrade your device, but they can't be used by other devices. the license files can not be shared.
2. I see. OPG Pro will support as quickly as possible, I was going to release this feature on the 5.0.0 version, but Spend a lot of time in the development of other functions.

I was using UNOFFICIAL Carbon ROM (4.3.1) with Mackay 0.517 Kernel and OPG 3.8.0

Ive been using your app long enough...
I have Xperia Sola....your app makes the system lag slightly on stock rom
but when it comes to cm and aosp....man I have to say your app is mindblowing...
Yes people if you want to boost your battery stand by time.....this is the app!!
5 STARS

Brilliant ! I'll give it a try ! :good:

It appears the app is not saving the settings on stock Xperia Z1 .257 rom... I hope this can be fixed?
But... still loving the app and decided to support it
Keep up the good work!

Hi onexuan,
Bought your app to support your development!
However immediately found some bugs in it v5.0.3:
1. if I set "nothing" in floating window, it will still show on desktop
2. Optimize SDCard in each configuration always minus a few Kb upon saved, eg. in Daily Mode, I saved it at 2072 K (not sure why I can't scroll to 2048, very unfriendly scroll method....) and then saved. The next time I go into Daily Mode, I will find the value to be 2030 K and saved again, the next time I get 2000 K and so on.
3. Why it's always "Not Configured" in other modes (not the one I applied), since I already configured and saved the config. I prefer you have it labeled as "Saved" and the current config to be "Applied". Does this make more sense?
4. When I exit (by keep pressing back), seems like your app won't exit properly, is the foreground app should be close and the "service" should be running in background instead? Just my 2cent.
5. After I upgraded, The "Upgrade" wording still on the left panel, my suggestion is to remove/hide it from paid user, what do you think?
6. Can it auto detect my governor, as I'm using Devil's kernel which does not have say Powersave Gorvernor then I do not know which one I use, can I simply use the default governor of Devil's kernel? Does it have same effect (Powersave, Daily Mode, etc) if not using the recommended Governor?
FYI I'm using it on my Note 2 (N7100) with Supreme ROM v4.0 (JB 4.3 TouchWiz based, deodexed)
Hope my info helps! Thanks in advance! :good:

ESET .. I ignore this

Looks like after the second click I do, anywhere on this app, after setting a mode, the app crashes and freezes the phone, making it reboot.

[Solved] GT-P5100 lagging and freezing

Hi,
I own my galaxy tab 2 since almost 2 years. Moved to CM 10.2 pretty quickly to improve it's reactivity, and it worked very nice for a while... until lags and delays to respond came back, months ago. It now takes some time to switch between apps, or to show/hide the keyboard, to type something.... Happens also during surf (firefox mobile - i use tabs extensively), sometimes causing crash. I moved to CM11 but that did not really solved the problem.
I believe GT2 is not the latest powerful on the market and newer ones would perform much better... but i'd like to try make that GT2 serves a bit longer, since i don't have that much high needs except surfing and reading.
I managed to find answers until then, now i'm a bit stucked. So as you'd guess, any suggestions would be welcomed

First of all don't expect much from this tablet .. i have it also and it has a modest hardware compared to modern tablets today.
On mine, I can tell you that am using OmniRom From XDA based on android kitkat 4.4.4 and it's working very well with me. Try to clean the junk files and boost your tablet using CM- Clean Master
Hope that migh help

I (and several other people) have had issues with Clean Master and similar apps. I do not recommend it.

jrc2 > I took a quick look on slimroms and it looks nice. Dark is my color (ideal to save battery), and the embedded privacy guard is a feature that i'm very interrested in... (I use LBE, which is fine but i thought maybe it slows the system a bit)
Elbadri1 > OmniRom, why not ? Looks close to my current CM experience, and i read it's very stable. I could not find if that rom have also an app manager (privacy guard), do you know ?
I'm less sure about the cleaner tool, i prefer to avoid such apps usually...

Hi guys,
About the app it just was recommended to me by the Motorola customer services for my moto g 2 which had a problem with the internal memory. I usually use it for a quik clean and then uninstall it. Can you please post a link for the issues it's interesting cause i didn't like it at the first but since the customer services recommended it i though that it might be ok to use it.
About the privacy guard i really don't know but i can manage some of the app permissions (not all of them) and chosse to give it access or not. I posted photos for you but am not sure if it's what you need. Anyway can't u just install it after the rom?

It is mostly useless anyway. Recent Android is really good at ram and storage optimization and some tests have shown that it can in fact slow down your phone. If it works for you, great!

Yeah i had the same feeling at the beginning but i had some sort of fake storage size and using the app helped to put everything in it's place.. Motorola clamied that it's due to a lot of junk files but actually when i deleted this junk using the app the problem is solved and that happened on 5.0. 2 android version :/ anyway thanks for your answer maybe it just helped in my case

Hi Elbadri1
Thanks for taking time to send those pictures, much appreciated. Indeed it's pretty much the feature i'm looking for. Looks like it don't gives you control on each app's permission, as LBE does, but it's a start. I guess there's no problem reinstalling LBE if i need deeper control (or if i miss the ad blocker)
I'm still looking at SlimKat/SlimLP, and that feature seemed to gives you control on each permission.

There is an Xposed module called 'App Settings' that allows you to control each permission.

Hi all,
SlimLP is very smooth but i didn't have much time to test it cause there is a VPN bug and I can't go online without VPN cause i use my university connection about the Xposed module it's so nice that there is something like this i didn't know about it and i need it for my tablet and my phone.. Thanks jrc2

I finally moved to SlimKat 4.4.4 Dhollmen yesterday, as i saw positive feedbacks on that one about stability. Nice ROM indeed, very fast to install, very responsive. I have to say there's improvement on my issues : switching between apps is faster (not immediate though, but way better), and the keyboard show/hides pretty much immediately as expected. This SlimKat installation is young, but since i did'nt had "slow typing issue" as it happened to me on CM11 (typing on Firefox could sometimes became painfully slow, had to kill the app and relaunch to get normal typing speed again).
On Firefox, i still experience lags, long page loadings, and sometimes crashes - especially if i open too much tabs. I guess it's because of my use : many tabs as said earlier, plus my Firefox is set with Desktop user agent - which might be demanding... But that's a 10.1" tablet, i prefer having a desktop navigation style, on many website it's way more comfortable, even if that costs me on the performance side. I wonder if a most recent/powerful model can handle navigation w/desktop UA "at desktop computer speed" - if not, i don't really have any reason to move.
Edit : some Improvements using thoses tricks (cache setting modified accordingly, of course) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280714
It's now close to something great in response, even if it freeze a bit and crashes sometimes when I open too much tabs or pages with too much animations, for instance. But I guess I'm close to what can be done with GT2 modest H/W....

I just passed to SlimLP... Great battery life and great overall experience but i must say am not using my tablet that much.. Just for youtube some medium web browsing and some music that's it. Very responsive compared to my omnirom and way less lag and a much much better battery life

Hi again,
This afternoon i copied files from a computer (windows) via USB. PDF files goes to my SD card without troubles, but xls files blocked (can't remember the message). I had to compress the files on a rar, luckily ES explorer can unzip and the files can be read on the tablet using WPS office. Also, I created a folder on the card from the computer, still trough the USB connection, but when trying to rename it : the explorer freezes.
Is there some kind of restrictions on SlimKat ? I can't remeber having that issues when I was on cyanogen...

Nougat Beta Thoughts & Issues

The other Beta thread is a little crazy with everything, and there is not much regarding the title of this thread any way.
Anyway, so far, I REALLY dig 7! I love the changes to the UI and such, and where Samsung went with it overall. I haven't seen stock 7.0/7.1, so I cannot say how close to stock they kept it, but I hear it's even closer than before. That, I think it awesome.
Everything seems snappier, and the way things open and close is pretty slick. The new color scheme is nice too. A LOT less 4 year old than I've come to expect from Android lately.
Battery life for me is pretty much the same. I'm getting from 4-5am to 10pm with still 40-50% left.
New menus, dropdown, etc. are nice too. The app drawer is SOOOO much better now that you sort it alphabetically once, and it stays that way, instead of every time you install a new app, or one updates, it would put whatever app at the very end.
However, after a couple days of zero issues, I'm starting to have some.
Notifications will not swipe away sometimes. Generally it might take several attempts to swipe away, but sometimes they just won't unless I unlock and do it again. Fairly annoying.
Changing permissions in app manager sometimes causes Settings to force close. Not a big one there since I can change permissions elsewhere.
The cache fills up more quickly and the phone starts to lag after just a couple days. I wipe cache and whatever about once a week and reboot the phone, now I am doing so every 2-3 days it seems. No biggie there, I realize this is beta.
That's it for now. Your turn.

I find the 7.0 beta fast & smooth. Battery life has doubled for me. I used to have to get a charge around 7-8 hours of use. I'm now getting 12 hours between charges.
I like the UI except for the notifications. The large, white background is ugly.
I've noticed that wireless fast charging doesn't always work. Sometimes it says it's charging but when I pick up the phone the battery hasn't charged.

- Settings: Editing up to 9 Settings shortcuts, only shows 8 for me but trying to select another for a 9th errors stating one is already there. It was due to having Battery as a shortcut before, but now in the beta this is under Device Maintenance. Reported as a Bug. EDIT: Clearing cache/data on Settings removes all shortcuts at the top of the Settings app, and you can re-add what you like again, and fixes my issue mentioned above.
- Galaxy Apps Store: Missing, but can access via Galaxy Essentials Widget or Samsung Gear, also reported as Bug.
I would encourage anyone who has registered and taken the beta to file any Bugs or Suggestions in the app Samsung Members. If you flashed the beta with Odin and didn't officially register, you may not see this app and cannot provide feedback. Samsung did reply to both of my above Bug reports, stating that they were aware of them and will fix them in the next beta release. They are looking and reviewing those, so I encourage everyone who's having an issue to report it, be thorough and explain how to reproduce your issue, provide screenshots if applicable.
Don't be that person who just files a Bug or Suggestion with "It's not working FIX NAO" or "Add this feature or I'm never buying Samsung again!!11"...but I cannot stop you if you decide to do that.

Since installing the Beta, I'm quite happy.
1. Faster and smoother performance, does not start to lag
2. Better notifications system
3. Can turn off the hated Bluetooth volume warning/limit
4. Zero issues so far with normal use
Only downside so far is loss of Foxfi tethering.
Only odd issue is that my phone System Update in Settings doesn't recognize that the phone has been updated to the Beta version. Still says I'm on PH1 build from September.

I followed the instructions in the other thread's first post and successfully installed the Beta. Now my phone is randomly restarting every couple of minutes....oh jeeze. Unusable, hoping I can figure out what's wrong, or roll back...
Edit: Maybe related to Samsung bloat I disabled with package disabler? Can't get package disabler to work
Double-Edit: Things seem good after a factory restart.
Feedback : Don't user package disabler with this. Hope this helps someone.

This thread is for beta impressions and general beta use feedback, if you want help on issues like above, better of asking/reading in the Galaxy Beta thread.

My accessibility settings keep reverting back to off for all programs. Anyone else have this issue? I think it happens after a reboot.

I'm using EZ Disabler and it works fine for me.

For those whos galaxy apps store icon disappeared, I had that too, I think its a bug in the upgrade, because I did a factory reset and the icon came back. All the issues I had went away too. Very Very impressed by this beta.

I am having two issues:
1. My accessibility settings get reset each time I reboot my phone.
2. When I click on the gallery icon in the camera app, it says there are no pictures. It's saving all the images as an album. Not sure if this is a setting but I can't locate it.
Does anyone know where to report these issues if we are on the official beta?

Use the Samsung Members app to report beta issues.

My accessibility settings keep reverting back to off for all programs. Anyone else have this issue? I think it happens after a reboot.

Same here. I use LastPass and the app filling service (uses the accessibility framework) gets disabled on each reboot. I reported it to the app maker as well just in case it's an Android 7 framework change and not a beta issue.

You had to do full system wipe then it will show the new build. I don't have any issues at all, no foreclosings and stuff View attachment 3938071

yeah, not bothering to wipe until things proceed a little further, waiting to see what happens when the next build is released.

I did the update .. once the update was installed .. did a full factory reset.
So far so good .. UI is fluid/smooth .. have had no problems with making or receiving calls, sending and receiving messages (SMS and MMS) .. Applications (which I have a lot of) are doing good with only 1 hiccup and that was with executing Facebook. The application would immediately crash. Now, I also use Messenger and Words with Friends (tied into my Facebook) .. so I tried Words with Friends first, was able to log in using my Facebook credentials no problem. Next, Messenger.. because I used the same credentials with Word with Friends, Messenger automatically logged me in using the same. So since both those worked, I tried Facebook again .. success, didn't need to log in and it when straight to the page.
Only other issue I have noticed .. my WiFi will disconnect spontaneously, even though I'm within 10 feet of it. It would also lose it's credentials (WEP info) .. so I need to re-enter to get connected.

I actually tried this and it said my device wasn't registered and wouldn't allow me to give any feedback. For those that are though, please please use that app to tell Samsung what bugs or issues you come across. Posting them everywhere else won't get them fixed.
Thanks to all who are putting in their input and testing Nougat to its limit. This is a rock solid beta so far.

I like it so far, just wish there was a root.

I'm getting a significant bump in battery life. I attribute it to the improved doze mode in 7.0. The blue light filter is something that is more useful to me than Samsung Pay!

Absolutely love the 7.0 beta so far. Everything is much smoother than marshmallow and the animations are a lot more appealing. You can tell that Samsung didn't intrude very much into the stock 7.0 look.
I'm constantly finding little tweaks that make me go "woah", such as the display resolution customization and in-depth battery saver settings. I also just found out that if you click the wording "Flashlight" in your notification draw it allows you to change the brightness. A small feature but I find it extremely useful.
Other than that I'm just genuinely impressed at the performance boost and battery savings this beta has brought with it.
10/10
Also, if you want a more stock look download the theme "Material Dark".

Been using Material Dark (was already on my phone in marshmallow when i updated).
But based on your post noticed that the screens that appear wheni tap on the words on the pull down don't look right. Do they look OK for you?
