yes there was already news reported about the app on the pixel's and that it was actually slowing them down, so i would imagine any phone that has this installed would have the same results.

I don't have the option to turn digital wellbeing's usage data permission wtf
Edit: I have successfully uninstalled digital wellbeing through adb, hope it was worth the while. I didn't use it like at all but I enjoyed seeing it there

i'm amazed by the amount of positive feedback but can someone post a simpler guide. i really wish to try this out.

[Q] Is this just me or is my Note 3 screen defect?

Hi lovely guys of the Note 3 forum!!
I've had my Note 3 for some time now and I was wondering if my screen is defect since it does act a little weird. I hope you can clarify this for me
Whenever I put my screen on low brightness, the screen tend to leave a trail of purple color behind whenever I scroll/move something. It'd be very nice if anyone with a Note 3 could test this for me, if u are having the same problem or if it's just me
A good way to test this, is to set brightness to 0% and then pull the notificationcenter down and try to swipe the notifications away slowly and look closely, if u can find some purple trail leaving behind the swiping object. To see this clearly, you can download the app Lux and set the brightness to sub-zero. Try -50% and it should be very easy to see. Would mean a ton to me if you could report back. I need to return my device asap if it's defect.
Thank you very much!! <3
EDIT: Here is a video of the problem!

Just turn off or switch off "development setting" and try again, if not, return the device.

Hey guys!
Just to confirm we're talking about the same thing, here is a video I took of the problem
EDIT: Seems like I've discovered a general issue with S4/Note3; Ghosting/smearing. God damnit, this is annoying. The shop will probably not even take it back now. ****..
cannot duplicate
I can't see this at zero brightness. I even installed lux and set it to subzero, and I still can't see it. I'm using an SM-900T.
I think I know what you are talking about. I also believe my smartphone has same problem. As an example if you download BBC News application,then scroll down to end of page and pull further you will see this tail of light appear. It also does this in the settings page when you scrol up or down but you have to get to bottom or top of page and pull further

Not sure if that was sarcasm... BEcause I hope it was.
That's the replacement for the 'bounce at end of page' that Apple successfully sued Samsung over. It now glows.
exactly the same problem with mine. fast moving UI elements leave a purple trail behind them.
could it be that some batches of screen are affected and some are not? it doesn't bother me too much though.

[Tip] Alarm when power off

Hello,
I just want to remind you, that the alarm-function will work while the phone is turned off! It seems that many people didn't know this. :good:

Oh, really? With third party apps too? I didn't know that for sure! Thanks.

I use the the stock Clock app. But I didn't try any other apps so far.
Edit: See Martin-Doc's post below, solved my issue. It works!
I've only found it to work when the phone is 'turned off' with QuickBoot enabled in the developer options menu. With my device fully powered off it didn't come on when it was supposed to. Just sharing my experience so hopefully no one misses an important alarm!

Yep! Just did another test just to make sure lol. Set an alarm for 9:17, turned my phone off at 9:15 and nothing happened. Turned it on at 9:20 and had a notification of a missed alarm.
That's pretty weird though, I wonder why it works for yours and not mine. As you said, always test it before you rely on it!

I'd just make a test and the result it's the same.
The phone boots up 2 minutes before the scheduled alarm. You left it less than 2 minutes when you turned it off, that may be the reason why the phone didn't boot and sound the alarm.
just tested with third party app, doesnt work even if I wait about 10 minutes. Testing now with the stock app.

One thing I miss about my nexus 4 alarm is...I always get a popup when alarm goes off on that. On opo it just rings but shows nothing. I have to pull down notifications and press snooze/turn off. Is it the same for you guys?
Don't know what's so special about this feature. It's supposed to do that.
Heck, even my Nokia 3210 did that back in the days.

I definitely get a pop up, or rather the clock app opens automatically and is showing on the screen while alarming, so I do not have the problem you describe.

It's crap because it's missing a lot of functions. you can't select playlists for example, and that's essential for me, because I like to wake up to a random song, and not to the same one every morning.

It's all a matter if opinion, but I wouldn't call it crap, based on that reasoning. I have no desire to wake up to music, or random songs, a standard buzzer is fine for me. And as such, I feel it is perfectly adequate
You're entitled to your opinion, as well, of course

Would someone be so kind and run one of the GPSTest or GPS Test apps to see if they added Galileo support?

I have found one more new feature. Now there is a reboot button on the power-button menu. That's pretty kewl. Don't have found bugs until now. Works very good. If I found a bug I will tell you.

Not only brightness, but gamma as well. But that's pixel exclusive. Google had the code hidden on 7.0, which few apps from play store been able to expose as well. Those apps used to work on my previous Nexus phones, but never worked on MZP. Now we have 7.1 and unfortunately Google has erased the code completely... Now we can't reveal it through any 3rd party apps anymore...but few OEMs have their own solution like One Plus, Moto Z2 Play
Is the android 7.1.1 really so much bigger? On android 7.0 I had 1.5GB free on system-partition. 800MB bigger? Why? Or is the update.zip in there and must be removed? Would like to understand that. Thanks!

But is it normal that the system partition is so much bigger? I mean, there is more in the partition as before. 800MB more. For what? Or I'm wrong and I remember wrong values from before? :silly: Or is it for the update.zip? But would it be so, then android would remove it after update, or? Can you check how it is on your phone, please Hope that I'm not switch off the usb plug to early

after i enabled this feature internet is much faster on my S6 Edge

Hello, I like to share you this feature in Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, it's really helped me to get faster internet cause it combines WiFi with Data.

you can enable/disable when you need , for example if you in need to get faster internet to download you enable, then disable after using, i found it useful on my phone.
The only notice to take into consideration, if your Wifi is very slow (some countries having limited quota for ADSL internet then drop speed to 512 Kb ) and you enable download booster, in this case will not help, you better need to disable Wifi and use only data.

Samsung put this option and rarely who tried. In my case was useful. But of course drains battery faster. But you get more speed. Everything has a cost.

This is how horizon light works...
Just pulses once when a notification comes...
Only one time...
Doesn't work as a LED notification...

It's there a Magisk mod to make it persist say every 30 seconds? Or even choose which apps it works with? Having it pulsing overnight because a bit of spam got emailed to me would suck.
