Welcome with us!!! [emoji106]
From my Galaxy S7 Edge.

Purchased direct from Samsung Italia. Made the switch from an iPhone 6s+. Very happy. My only complaint is having to recalibrate the compass after each restart. Still unclear to me if an isolated problem or one shared by many others. In another thread is sounded like some had the problem, others not. And, it may have been an issue with the Galaxy 6. Overall, glad I made the switch.

Can't help with compass problem, I don't use it.
The two devices are similar, where did you find the biggest differences?

The problem with compass calibration affects GPS accuracy. I noticed the issue when driving along Lungotevere near Testaccio and Google Maps claimed I was in the middle of the Tiber - about 500 meters away. Once calibrated, all was good.
I like the greater flexibility to modify and adjust the Edge to my preferences. The camera is, IMO, significantly better, especially the fast focusing. I do miss the integration with the Apple ecosystem as I use a MacBook Air and have my music in iTunes. Still looking for a good music player. I have lots to learn although I have owned many Android devices in the past.

Are you sure that compass calibration affects GPS accuracy? Where do you go to calibrate the compass? I tried to calibrate the edge screen compass, but i don't understand what kind of "eight" i have to do with the phone.

Positive. The simple way to recalibrate is to enter the HwModule Test by entering *#0*# on the phone keypad Then, select Sensor and look for Magnetic Sensor. There you will see a circle with a number inside and a red or blue line. If the number is 3 and the line blue, you are calibrated. Anything else indicates your phone needs calibration. It's easy. Rotate the phone slowly around each of its three axis. You should feel a vibration and a green screen flash when each axes calibrates. Whole process takes 10-15 seconds.

I calibrated it by compass on the edge panel, is it the same thing? But with Gps turned on it calibrated on its own and now i see blu line and the number 3.

Hi, I've still some doubts regarding this phone. It's very cool and full of high specs, but it looks hard to be hold (you know, edges ...) or taken from a table (cover free). Moreover sound seems not to be that awesome :/ Last but not least, daytime camera pics basically cannot be zoomed otherwise you'll start notice hugly effects, don't you?

Hi guys, i would like to know two things:
1)intelligent standy, which prevent the screen turn off when you look at it, does it work in a dark environment too? Because mine doesn't.
2)when i use an app and i receive an iconized call then the little window stays on my screen and i can't "iconize" it on notify bar (when I'm using speaker phone obviously). I have to open the phone app and then press the home button. Is there a way to avoid that?

With your finger rhat is supposed to happen. Normal capacitive touchscreens aren't as accurate. The S-Pen is using different tech and is not communocating with your normal touchscreen. The pen should be pixel accurate.

That. Doesn't. Help. How hard is it.
I actually went back to the store and the show model and a new model which he got fresh out of the box for me all had the same issue. The Note 10.1 is a poorly made tablet. The pen should be pixel accurate, which it isn't. I actually got an ipad mini instead as Apple offers the best normal capacitive touchscreens on the market.
Hello my friends and welcome to samsung.
Here is how "well" the disgitisers of my note 10.1 N8000, grey, italian with 16GB + 3G, work.
FINGERTOUCH DIGITISER:
S-PEN DIGITISER:
I noticed the issue of the s-pen digitiser first, and just like you, went back to the store to check if the other notes they had there had the same issue. Result: all had the same issue. All in the same screen position. Knowing that the s-pen digitiser is very sensitive to electromagnetic field, and after watching this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUyI74c0DhE&feature=youtube_gdata_player I came to the conclusion that the issue is due to poor screening of the s-pen digitiser. In fact I bet that what we see is the field distortion caused by the electrical current flowing along the vertical battery wires running underneath the screen in that position. That's why the issue appears identical, at identical position on all the notes, because it is an hardware issue due to how badly this tablet was engineered.
The other issue, the one of the fingertouch digitiser, I have discovered it today, after having noticed that scrolling in my tablet was not uniform if i was sliding my finger slowly on the screen, and after having asked myself why so often I was missing to hit the virtual keys on the websites, even though I could swear to have tapped precisely in that position. Well... it appears that our nice friends at samsung equipped our beloved tablet with a digitiser with a ridicoluos resolution of around 40 x 25... (!!!!!!!) This means that we can forget forever precision touch input and smooth scrolling.
I was quite happy of this tablet when i bought it. Now I feel so pissed off that I would like to throw this piece of **** out of the window.
Another thing I noticed is that the Galaxy tab 2 10.1 of my friend does not have the fingertouch digitiser issue. Looks like in order to earn even more money than usual, samsung have introduced this feature into us starting from the latest, very acclaimed note 10.1....
wow....
kind regards, Luca.

now try that but slower and you'll see the squiggles
that's true!!!!! it's like if there's a magnetic interference along a diagonalline in the center of the screen, going from top-left to bottom-right
but only if you draw slowly on that points
Well, yes but not exactly. The inteference is vertical, and as I said, I bet my bullocks it's caused by the battery wires.
The resulting effect is just like when you put a paper sheet over a coin, and you scratch over it with a pen (never done it when you were a child?). As you know, you get the image of the coin underneath.
The "scratches" here are the oblique lines that we draw slowly, and the "coin" is the field distortion caused by the electrical current in one of the wires (of which there are four, but for one reason or another, one must cause more interference than the others).
This being a magnetic induction interference, it affects only the s-pen digitiser.
The issue of the capacitive, fingertouch digitiser (or whatever its name is, sorry but I am not native english), I guess is simply due to the fact that it has a very small resolution, due to samsung deliberately wanting to piss us off

So you're saying a fix would be to take apart the note and apply a better shielding to the battery and wires

Why would I do that if I want a straight line? Pen on paper it's the same, if you go slow enough you will not go straight...
I'm not arguing with anyone, you may be right regarding the interference, but I don't think this device was made to replace a dedicated pro digitizer.
And I did get the general impression that on other tablets the touch is a little more accurate than this one, just to be clear, I'm not saying that is the perfect tablet because I've got one lol. A used 3 tf700 for a week and the screen resolution and touch responsivnes are great, but otherwise is a P.O.S.
I think this note is a decent enough gadget for the price.

It also might not be the display itself. I got my S-Pen wet and when it dried it started to behave erratically. Sometimes it would work perfectly and other times it would be off from the position I had it placed on the screen. It was random. Replacing the pen fixed it.
Don't have this issue with pen or finger using Lecture Notes on Korean made GT-8013 bought from Amazon.

S IV; smart accessories

Hi
s4 some new smart feature in software and octa core processor in international version also has some smart cases & covers
to see notification maybe
or brief of some info
to work with S health & etc
http://reviews.cnet.com/2300-8900_7-10016135-5.html
Accessories showed up at the unpacked 2013
i don't really understand the smart cover, is it not just a normal cover with a slot cut out of it?
what's smart about it?
EDIT - just watched cnet explaining it. that is quite clever.
but surely the entire screen is switched on behind the cover??
also, in the videos the only way they are able to switch it to s view is by opening the case - doesn't that defeat the purpose?
not released yet but something to work with S-Health & etc
Thats a cool idea. When I first saw it I was like wtf?

The Samsung Galaxy S4 come with an AMOLED display which doesn't need additional backlight
that means that each pixels is emitting it's own light
and when the cover is on only the pixel that's displaying info is on
other pixels are told to be black so it's not using any power.... :angel:
This means that it will not turn on the entire screen like LCDs and will have better black levels

right, but anyone who's used NoLED (can find it in the market) can tell you, its not simply about how much of the screen is used or not.. its the wakelock keeping the phone from entering a deep sleep that turns your 10 day standby into a 3 hour standby..
Samsung is clever tho, so I'm sure there's more to it than meets the eye. maybe its a solution to getting a notification and your pocket not bumping the screen keeping it on for an entire hour while you run...

All the S band and S scales are an exact copy of the Fitbit accessories which have been around for years and Fitbit announced their band in January. Seems Samsung have finished copying Apple and chosen new targets?
I am not complaining about Samsung but Fitbit have the same products available now which work with ANY android, Ios or other phone why would I buy one that only works with one of Samsung phones?
GamePad seems awesome! It'll take a huge chunk out of potential nvidia project shield sales lol. Same or better processing power, more portable, can be used as a phone. Game pad is dead before its launch.

[APP] Weather Station

I don't think so. People like to know the weather so why not get the weather exactly where the phone is? It's also useful for hiking, etc. The challenges are compensating for the internal heat produced by the phone.

Temp sensors on the phone itself Is cool because one, it’s more accurate than using a general location by setting it with a city and state and two you don’t have to leave your location / gps on as some people do with their weather apps.
Actually, I think the barometer is the best new sensor. The temperature one will be useless if you keep the phone in a pocket, but the barometer will be cool especially while flying as it would not be too difficult to turn it into a altimeter. (It would have to be manually calibrated to take cabin pressure into account, but that is usually a fixed ratio, like 6:1 or 8:1).
GN2 has a barometer already

Actually, you can, but not directly through the built-in sensors. However google for tellstick / Telldus Live, buy a couple of wireless switches and sensors and use the app Remotestick (plus a number of smart Tasker-rules) to control almost anything at home that can be controlled by wall outlets...

Of course I put it on my new N3, and it's working perfectly. However they must have a different calibration, as the humidity can be out by up to 8% across devices. The temp is fine, or i should say within tolerable limits of measurement difference.
Does this app need root?
Another question I have:
Did someone measure how accurate the readings given by the N3 (or S4) are, compared to a real Thermometer or Hygrometer?
Thanks.

(REQUEST) s7 camera "water mode"

Hey xda, I mentioned this in one of the modded camera app threads. I was wondering if one you geniuses can create a so called "water mode" for the stock camera app. What I want it to do is disable the touchscreen because every time I dive in water while recording, it stops recording. I was hoping someone can activate the physical buttons to do basic picture or video functions. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem. Thanks in advance

I would think operating the physical buttons under water could compromise water resistance.
The phone is not rated waterproof anyhow.
I've taken my phone into the water quite a few times already, I've had no issues with water damaging the phone. None at all. But that's not the reason I started this thread.

Did some digging around and found an "aqua" shooting mode in the stock camera. Since I dont have a clue at all about programming I dont know what to do with this.

I solved blocking screen interactions before putting the phone underwater. Then just shoot with volume buttons! To block screen interaction long press home + vol down
I solved with gravitybox and set soft keys with no action, only sometimes the recording is stopped by water on screen...
Anyway s7 is waterproof, I used it a lot in pool, but my wife with same phone had screen flickering after 20 seconds in 10cm of water... And the assistance is very poor... One month without phone, returned and after 5 days the issue is returned...
Anyway thanks for the hint of block screen interactions, will use next time!

Screen bottom is slightly yellow

My screen is a bit yellowish at the bottom, I've read that this issue affects many units.
I cannot capture it because it is very light, but it is definitely here. I'm asking for a refund and wait to see if newer phones are still affected (my phone has been delivered on 28th December by HTC Club).
Is there any chance to see a uniform display?

Well, my display was yellowish but I've read that some users has found some purple ghosting effect while scrolling text (I think mine was not affected).
I guess it's quite subjective to find out if a unit exhibits yellowish and/or purple effects, at least if those problems are not very noticeable, so the real question here is if someone has successfully exchanged a defective unit with a good one...

I have no issues with my screen at all, just ran a dead pixel test and cant notice any yellow tint or ghosting with text. Think it is pot luck what you have or not.
But I haven't heard anyone exchange as I'm pretty sure HTC have non spare at the minute to give back to people!

Thanks for your response, probably here in Europe the phone is not so diffused, but in Asia there are some experiences here:

Been using my u11+ for about a month and starting to notice horizontal lines across my screen then has gone away, now comes and goes.
Saw a thread on u11 having this issue too.
