Did the 14 day return period exchange for a sapphire black 64gb model and noticed right away that everything is snappier and the fingerprint detection was 10x faster. I already even loaded all of my apps and hadn't disabled bloatware yet. There's no way a 13 day old phone can be that much slower than a 1 day old phone.
Anyway that's my story, seems a little boring in this sub-forum on XDA with absolutely nothing going on, so I figured I'd post something.
I've noticed my 64gb black has slowed down quite substantially compared to my Note 3. First day was zippy but it trudges along now, not sure what is causing it because the battery status/check doesn't indicate anything being excessive.

Yeah I'm having the same problem and I have no idea why. A phone like this shouldn't be slowing down like that, my M8 doesn't even randomly slow down like my S6.
No idea whats going on but im hoping for a bootloader unlock or atleast root to help figure out whats going on.
If it's having slow down issues you souls get it checked. I have a ton of apps and over 13GB of pictures and videos and the gallery and phone are still keeping up with Mr which is rare for touchwiz. And I've been around the block. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Supposedly there is a bug that the S6 family of phones are not managing RAM very well and in return it's slowing things down.

I did a factory reset last night and so far it's back to being faster. If it doesn't stay this way, it'll be warranty swapped. It was bad because even a reboot didn't resolve my slowness.

Its 64-bit architecture is truly powerful, letting you take multitasking and multimedia functions to the next level.

Morning all,
I've recently sent back two S6s due to the pink screen tints. In the meantime moved over to a Z3, but keen to get into a Note 5 or S6+.
Just wondering if anyone had suffered from the dreaded pinking that can plague these AMOLED screens.

pictures of that pink screen tint that you are talking of ? since this thread seems likely to be ignored by many. I guess that the experts don't have any idea about the stuff.
It was only on the S6 I'm afraid. Not Note 5.

I see, well I'm still interested on how does it looks though.
Hi guys,
I bought this phone yesterday, and it's awesome. I actually love EMUI, the camera is jawdropping and it has an amazingly smooth experience with plenty of nice features.
I do however notice some ghosting/blur, especially when scrolling. It's not choppy, but it's quite annoying. This is very visible when viewing something dark on a white background (scrolling through text) or a white icon on a dark background. I can't really include video, as my old phone can't really capture it true to life, but it's similar to this, as in the screen doesn't seem to be quite "fast enough"
Does anybody else have something similar?
Same here...
Hi, I bought the same phone yesterday and although impressed I have the same issue and it's bothering me. Did you get to the bottom of the issue? If I can't resolve this the phone will have to go back I'm sorry to say as it's too noticeable to be anything other then annoying.
Hi
After a lot of wrestling with a repair center, I got a replacement which does a lot better.
Check out a display model (or a couple) of the phone and compare. Mine was super bad, and while it's still noticeable, it's bearable now.
I gotta be honest, I have no idea what ghosting you guys are seeing - mine is flawless. I would ask for a replacement if you can!

Checked out two display models, and both had the problems. I guess I just see it really easily.
Slightly happening on mine too, definitely bearable though and mostly visible when scrolling sideways. Especially in the app drawer in Nova.
i bought this smartphone today and the ghosting effect while scrolling is HUGE.
the smartphone is perfect for me but this issue is so bad..is horrible, anyone can see it.
The only problem I'm having us when my phone's getting really cold, like in the winter when I'm not using it and so it cools down, you can see a sort of "motion blur". It's quite strong, but it goes away when the phone heats up through use. Its not a problem for me, but are you experiencing the same thing ?

There iare P9, P9 Lite, P9+, with single SIM, double SIM, various customizations, builds/versions with Marshmallow or Nougat.
It would be helpful always to declare the build version, like EVA-L09c432b31 or so (btw I never had such problem with either of Nougat builds b378, b383, b386, b391 for the model/cust EVA-L09c432)
I'm wondering whether led burning is still a problem. What is your experience on your amoled device? Are the new ones burn-free? Even after 2 years of use?
I think, it doesn't exist now.
Amoled burn-in still exists, but advancements in both the technology and production process has made it occur less often for consumers.
There are still other issues to think of other than burn-in that still exists in amoled displays today. Right now, Samsung produce the best amoled displays.

Could you mention an example of such issues?
Thanks for the answers. This burn thing always kept me from buying amoled phones. I'm a 4-year phone type of guy. Still using Nexus 5.

The use of a pentile matrix (Samsung amoled) for brighter display and lower power usage at the cost of image clarity. Colours are usually over saturated but can be adjusted to your liking.

It has become very little but still exists. Noticed it on my friend's mobile.
Its getting worse on my note 5. Like i said i can read the icons on fb on my wifes s5. I remeber a old s3 i had though was horrible screen burned. I dont even care any more i switch devices so much i got this note5 now but 2 weeks from now i may have something else
As we all know the AMOLED lotto is real even if the display was given "the highest A+ from DisplayMate". Wanting to keep track to see if anyone is having any of the following issues: Screen uniformity, banding on gray, dark gray looking purple at lower brightness, blotches, black crush, black smear. If there is something I haven't listed feel free to post the issue. While I know some of these issues are inherent of the technology I would like to gather data and see other's experiences thus far.
On my my device my 128 GB white XL exhibits the "dark gray looking purple at lower brightness". I've also added poll options and I look forward to seeing everyone's responses and thank you for taking the time to read and respond!
While it's true any oled can get these problems, it does seem there's a fair amount of complaints about display issues already. I think that's because there LG panels, while we know have improved a lot since the 2 XL but they don't seem to be the same standard as samsung ones .
Something like the OnePlus 7 pro I didn't see any things on Reddit, xda about screen faults

Ifixit's tearodwn actually shows that Samsung actually manufactured the display. From what I know Samsung's own devices don't have 90hz panels yet. So this could be their first batch and the 4 is their guiena pig to iron out any production issues. But some other reports to report that it is LG. I'll poke around Reddit and see what the folks say down there as well. I could of just been the unlucky one and got shafted on the panel lottery. But everything else is working flawless (for now) and I don't really want to play the exchange lotto. Thanks for the response.
I guess I won the lottery. No issues at all. My P3XL had the purple shift at low brightness though.
What I would like to know is, the devices that are being affected, are they the XL or the standard version? The XL has all but been confirmed to be samsung, but we don't know about the regular version

Nice to know and congrats on winning the panel lotto! My 3XL was the opposite and had no purple shift at low brightness.

Some are saying LG and the others are saying Samsung. I'm more inclined to believe it's Samsung since in the teardown it was confirmed. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+4+XL+Teardown/127320 Unless they really went with LG and Samsung for both variants? Last year smaller gets the LG while the XL gets Samsung.
Maybe not?
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Who-m...Google-Pixel-4-XL-Samsung-or-LG.439878.0.html hopefully this posts right. Screenshot shows that it has the samsung driver. In the xl at least. Dunno about the standard
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe..._pixel_4_display_a_big_step_forward_in_black/ This thread here shows that several people have posted about purple and some even green. Whereas some are saying even at higher brightness levels some grays appear purple and then at other times it appears as normal.

It would be nice if we could get some confirmation on which device this was happening on. So we can at least eliminate one other variable. We still don't know if the panels are the same on both devices. I'm willing to bet that is happening on the smaller version, since no one I know that has received an XL has mentioned it
I guess I won the lottery. None of the above for me so far. I haven't had the phone for even a day though, so the bottom two are possible yet. I checked the others and it's good to go. Very glad to hear they're Sammy displays too. I had the 2xl, and those LG's sucked.

Ok, so there's another XL confirmed working fine. Starting to think there may be some credence to my earlier statement
Mine looks great. No complaints. This thing is a Beast!

And yet, another XL user. Makes me feel better, since that's what I ordered ?
My 4 XL screen is very nice too. No problems like above. I like it better than the Note 10 plus I just sent back.

If the XL panels are indeed all Sammy then I and probably a few others didn't win the lotto. I also notice some strange behaviors as well. Adaptive EQ off and ambient on and around 20-30% Discord looks fine, whereas the voice recording app still seems dark/purple until about 70%. Then there are times where I open that app and it seems fine. Another user in the reddit thread I linked is also reporting this behavior on various apps. Hopefully more cotinue to speak up if their screen is fine or not!

Well, f*ck. There went that Idea. So, just so we're on the same page, you do have an XL and you are experiencing the screen issue? So much for my theory. Was doing well for awhile

That is correct I have a 128 GB White 4 XL. I've been digging around Reddit and some others users also have the gray appearing purple and others have gray appearing as green at lower brightness on their XL's.
