Have you charged it fully before you started messing with it? I think the Tablets only come with a partial charge out of the box.

Lol yea...I mean I build roms for the note 3 and galaxy mega and will be building a rom for the pro so I'm pretty familiar with the basics...this is a source or lower system level issue...so I was wondering how widespread it is

Did you turn on S-Voice? My tablet went nuts when I turned on S-Voice for the first time the other day.

Maybe it needs time to adjust to its new surroundings?

it's got some other issues like the keyboard won't work at times and overheating badly...I think It's gonna need to go back unfortunately...first few boots sure you know just setting it up and breaking it in...but this has been at least 25 reboots...I have the snapdragon note 3 and have had it since day 1 without issue...maybe that's the route I should go for the tab as well?
Mega
Edit: after several mods to the system I finally got the note to stop shutting down, at least for the time being...could you guys with experience on the octa give me some feedback...have you had any issues? Overheat? Do you ever wish you would've gotten the snapdragon s800?

No issues at all on my 32gb wifi. Just watched a 1080p (yify) movie in multi window while surfing the Internet without issue; not that I would have expected any since this isn't pushing it. Playing games that are graphically intensive will heat it up but I've never had any random reboots or issues.
I'm currently rooted and have some things frozen to reduce a little bloat.

Awesome...no I'm sure the exynos is hella powerful...I just have no experience with the new exynos 5 series...I've only built for snapdragon based devices galaxy note 3 and mega 6.3 since last gen a note 2 and note 8 with the exynos 4412...and really love the tab and performance other than the few strange things going on I fixed after getting all set up and rooted. Bummer there's no recovery yet...when it comes I'll post a rom for the note pro. Thanks alot for the info

My apologies, didn't mean to imply anything. I simply suggested the first thing I'd do.

No sleep-of-death or reboots on my SM-P900 so far. Rooted it after a couple of weeks. It's been problem-free.

I've had my Note 12.2 for about a month now and never had a sleep of death. I would concur on how amazing this tablet it, been waiting for a big screen tablet for too long and could never go back!

Galaxy S7 Touchscreen Problem

Galaxy S7 screen not responding to touch sometimes. The bottom portion of the display is affected. I tried 6 different S7 and all of them have the same problem, test yours like this and tap gently not hard, when you press hard you press 3mm on the screen and that is a lot ! The problem is worse when the phone is cold (20C) This is annoying because the place where its not working is the same place where the space bar is and the "." Does anyone else have that exact problem? Here is a video of the problem : https://youtu.be/OW_FQBMcuOE
IMPORTANT !
Install Phone INFO app (green adroid logo) see when the phone is manufactured, mine is 2016.02.18 ! maybe the first batch of the production have that problem! We might be on something here!!!

There are two threads already open with this situation.
I have this problem at the same location you demonstrate. The right side has this problem too. From bottom right to the top 1 cm and 2 or 3 cm up you are going to reproduce the same thing.
I get used to it but it is very annoying. Never liked Samsung because of this things. They use low quality material all around. I will never trust them.

go to samsung store

Just received H9 update and the release notes did not mention anything about LCD, touch screen or anything related to it.
But since the update, I've been trying to reproduce the problem trying to find the blind spots and for my surprise I did not find anything. The touchscreen is perfect and I can feel it is more sensitive.
Before the update I could reproduce the problem very easy! Now it is perfect.
The update here in my region (Brazil - ZTO) was about 170MB. Samsung Cloud was introduced.

Wow, mine was manufactured 2 weeks ago (2016.08.16) and I've owned it since about the 24th too, so it was 8 days old when I received it

Status of the Pixel XL Battery Shutdown Bug

I was looking to buy this phone but I note its having some major issues: http://www.androidheadlines.com/201...ers-reporting-premature-battery-shutdown.html
Anyone know just how widespread the issues are? Is it too risky to buy?

I have had the VZW Pixel 128GB from the day of release, installed all the updates as they were released. I have experienced no issues whatsoever in all the time I have had it. I have unlocked, rooted, unrooted, installed 2 different custom kernels and stock. Through all this I have had 0 issues with the phone. I love it.

It is not a major Pixel issue. It is a minor Android 7 issue. It is happening at low levels to a few phones. I don't even recall seeing anyone in these pixel forums about it.

I have this issue, on the regular (non-XL) Pixel. I first noticed it between Christmas and NYE, the device shut down at around 20% battery. It's now happening almost every time the battery drops below 25%, albeit at slightly different capacities each time (between 18-25%). This morning I used the "chat" option to discuss with Support, without noticing the new security patch released this morning. So now I'm running my battery down and waiting to recreate the issue. Support played dumb and said they hadn't heard of the issue.

Did the security patch help? I had the same issue on my 5" Pixel (around 10% though) and did a factory reset (with only the most necessary apps installed), since then the problem is gone. BUT i also received the January security patch on the same day, so i don't really know what fixed it.
What i also recognized on my screenshots and my others that were posted on this matter, is the wrong Awake/"Aktiv" indicator before the shutdown happened (see the attached screenshot). IMO, this may point to a software issue, not an actual faulty battery or cool temperatures.

Hello
I have the same issue
I am use XL device . this issue happen to me 3 times . first time was before a month when the battery come to 50% the phone shut down
second time was before tow days and the same issue happened before 3 hours :crying::crying:
I dont know if the hardware problem or software problem
Please help :crying::crying::crying:

Nothing new that i know of, i didn't run into this problem since the factory reset. Maybe, in some cases, it's a hardware issue after all? Does your awake-log look faulty as well?

Yes, exactly the same as you described, even with the false activity line as shown on your picture. Does this work now too after your factory reset?

Yes, it happened after new years, when the device was just about a week old and did not occur since then. This is from yesterday (regular Pixel), while i never crack the 5h mark with mixed usage: https://goo.gl/photos/Yui6D3sdSK8gyFax9
These are from when the first or second early shutdown occured: http://imgur.com/a/4g0V5
I find it a bit weird that this is not a bigger topic on XDA, there are a "lot" of posts in the issue tracker, the pixel user community and even a some on reddit from time to time.

Okay, I'm not 100 % sure but I think this happened first time after the February update. Looks like I should do a factory reset. Let's see if this works for me as well.
Will report, thanks.

Waze App

Good morning All.
So I am new to the forums so excuse my nervousness here. I have a odd question for those who already have this phone. Basically, I would like to know if the Waze app Galaxy S8+ operate fluidly? The reason that I ask is because when I had my Note 5 I would notice while I was using the app during the navigation mode it would skip as I was driving.
When I had the phone then I thought it was a firmware issue from the app or the phone it self, however that was not the case because they were both up to date at that present time.While researching I found out that I was not it was an issue with the Android OS.
I am very interested to know the answer to this thank you!

Only used it once, but it seems to work fine

I use it daily and haven't had issues with it. Ive had my phone since wed, but had a S7 edge before that and no issues there either.

Great news. I know it seems like an odd question, but I use Waze more than any app on any devices that I have.

Waze work great in my galaxy s8 plus...

Daily use of Waze and zero issues.

I use Waze daily while on patrol. I used it on all the previous Android devices I have had and now on the S8+. I have had no issue with the production version.

That's good to hear. I have just got a S8+ and never realised that AMOLED's suffer this as I've only ever had LCD phones.
Do you do anything other than change the car colour as I guess the orange icon to the right of the screen in the app could cause problems.
Do you set it to a certain brightness etc?

I just let it run as is with auto brightness on. I'm in the same boat, this is my first AMOLED phone. I've had it about 3 months now and so far so good.

Horizontal lines on the display? Widespread issue?

Guys, any update on the "horizontal lines" that appear on the u11 display? Is it widespread like lg g4`s bootloop? Is it software or hardware related? Some users reported the lines disappearing after the oreo update..
I really want to buy this phone but I`m honestly afraid of stumbling on this issue.

No oreo and no lines. My phone is working perfectly and in perfect condition... For now..

I have this SOMETIMES on my new UK u 11 plus... is it something any other users have experienced? I can't tell when or why it happens but there's also trails on the touch screen at the same time...

None in mine. It might be due to software. Upgrade to Oreo.

Most likely its a hardware defect of the screen panel. You can return your unit to your seller for a warranty replacement.

I used to have those horizontal lines on Nougat.
At first I thought that it was simply a badly assembled ( bonded ) screen + digitizer assembly, however I noticed that I could trigger it with some specific actions which led me to believe that it was a software issue.
With Oreo update I haven't gotten the horizontal lines to appear again at all.
Even with the tricks I had found to trigger them, they simply do not appear anymore.
IMHO it's 100% software issue.
