gloves mode - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is just me or Samsung has removed gloves mode on Samsung g galaxy s6?

Well I think the touchscreen is already super sensitive, I would want to decrease the sensitivity a little bit. But there is no options in settings to do so

Auto sleep with cover

I have three Questions
1) Does the Note 10.1 have auto sleep function with a cover (like iPad/Nexus 10)
2) Some earlier reviews have mentioned lagging with ICS, does JB gets rid of (most) of it?
3) How likely is this going to get JB 4.2? (Really disappointed that Tab 7.7 is not getting JB)
Thanks
I don't think the Note has auto-sleep with a cover, but you can use an app like CaseSensor to do it. It basically uses the light sensor on the Note (no proximity sensor) to determine whether the screen is covered or not. It can lock/unlock the Note with the cover.
Lagging with ICS happens very occasionally. I've owned a Tab 7.7 and I can tell you its smoother than the 7.7 ICS. JB pretty much gets rid of all lag
Seems very likely to get 4.2, just as much as the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2.
Apparently the note does have some sort of embedded proximity sensor, but it's not registered as a normal android proximity sensor, so apps like tasker cannot be programmed to use it. You can program something like tasker to do this with the light sensor, but it's also liable to shut off your screen in a dark room. This is what happened for me.

Samsung haptic feedback compared to everybody else

I found no other thread discussing this subject so I thought I'd ask if anyone else wondered why the Samsung vibration/haptic feedback feeling is so different to all the other manufacturers. I am not saying one haptic feedback style is bad and the other good, it is just different, but I have to admit that I prefer the Samsung vibration style.
To give an example, I migrated from a Galaxy S2 to a Nexus 4 and I immediately noticed the change in vibration style. On the S2 the vibration has a higher frequency, lower amplitude and shorter duration resulting in a distinct and precise feedback. On the N4 the vibration takes some time to ramp-up and the vibration has a lower frequency and higher amplitude (this is actually controlled via the kernel), which although it gives out a more powerful overall vibration, it feels that the vibration kick arrives too late due to the ramp-up duration.
So far I have tested this on the following phones:
Samsung-style vibration:
- Samsung Galaxy S2
- Samsung Galaxy S3
- Samsung Galaxy S4
- Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
- Samsung Galaxy S5
Non-Samsung-style vibration:
- HTC One X
- HTC One M7
- LG Nexus 4
- LG Nexus 5 D821
- Sony Xperia Z1
- Sony Xperia Z2
I am trying to find out what makes the Samsung-style vibration different and unique, as both Samsung and the other manufacturers use the same linear oscillating vibrator motor. One thing I noticed is that all Samsung phones use a vibrator motor that is bound directly to the screen assembly, while the other manufacturers attach the vibrator motor to the back of the case or frame, which may impact the haptinc feedback you get in the finger touching the screen.
Another way to distinguish between the two vibration/haptic feedback styles that I have found is to place your phone on a flat surface (not your hand) and press the back button. On Samsung phones you will feel a distinct feedback in your finger, while on other phones you will not feel anything in your finger.
Does anyone know how we could replicate the Samsung-style haptic feedback on other phones?
So, this is the first post I found about this topic, and I agree with that perception. In my opinion, the samsung haptic feedback makes them feel "sophisticated" because the delicacy, and the others feel like vibration from a game controller . I have a Z Ultra, which I have paid a good buck, but the vibration feels somewhat cheap... If the vibrators where the same I think is possible to do some tests and try to replicate the effect. I hope for dev attention here.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Screen Sunlight visiblity test

Hello everyone! I want to show you my outdoor video of screen sunlight visibility comparison test between Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and other Galaxies. I hope you will enjoy my video!!!
Link for the video:
https://youtu.be/4x9cYNii3Pc
The S7e is the first phone I've owned that I don't have to struggle to see in daylight. Although it's still a challenge with sunglasses on.
I agree with you, the phone display is on sunlight (how can be see in video) really sharp and visible.
I noted that when I turn on the screen I a low light environment, it has a fade before the screen completely turn on, like a fade effect. I did some tries and this happen only in low light condition. Is this normal? Under sun light it is very clear and when I turn on the screen it is bright in no time, without any fade effect.
Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
The s7 has a very bright screen u ... its a bit annoying in the dark even with having at the lowest settings but ok

s7 worse quality screen than s5 and other regressions

I was surprised to have the following issues with my s7 as I expected software standardization across samsung devices and a comparable screen quality.
On my S5 there is very tiny contrast shift off angle. Have to look for it to be noticeable.
On my S7 there is colour shift (not just contrast shift), white backgrounds turn light blue off angle. (could be fault?)
On my S5 the dialer supports both auto redial for engaged numbers and also toggling of noise surpression, both options missing from the S7.
Performance wise the S7 is defenitly faster than the LG G5 I returned but still feels a bit worse than the S5 in certain places, however will tweak the kernel to see if can improve.

S8+ always on display with infinty effect doesn't look right, it has lines

My s8+ aod with stock infinity effects doesnt have the smooth transition like a normal s8+, it has rugged lines where the color ends. HELP!!!!!!
a quick phone reset will do its trick
