Note 4 gyroscope calibration...

ive searched google and only found the option on note 2. i also found where it said to do a self sensor test on the galaxy s5. tried it , to no avail. i was wondering if any one has experience this issue before. stock rooted. havent deleted or messed with any apps or settings other than the blatantly obvious bloat. its a brand new note 4 btw. less than a month, never dropped or wet. kept in an otterbox defender from day 1. could this possibly be some app messing with the settings? ive gone so far as to set a level on it and test to make sure my world isnt tilted lol. but im spot on. any ideas are appreciated.

Did you check the phone before rooting it? Was it working correctly?
When you went back to stock, what steps did you take exactly?

I think if you got phone replaced and you have issues already something you doing is off. As mentioned before give a step by step thing u did to this point. Did you load a backup? What rom? Stock from a fresh download?

tried that already.... i went into recovery and wiped the cache first, then i did a master reset. the replacement tmobile sent me is doing the same exact thing. so it has to be some type of hardware problem or its baked into the firmware.

2 phones back to back with same issue? Call Tmobile get another one and try it before u do anything

yeah ive got another on the way. just read a thread on here and on ATT web site were the guy had the SAME EXACT problem. his was going to the right tho. said he traded it in, that one did the same thing. even tried it on the demo model at the store and it did the same thing. im wondering if this may be more common than we think. every one check your phones... and please let me know if you have similar issues. ive downloaded damn near every app to try and calibrate it, but it wont budge. phone was never dropped or any water damage. and yes stock ROM from sammobile. never had a custom rom on it. furthest i went was rooting it.

Go to a different store

im holding it landscape mode.... when i hold it perfectly level it drifts off to the left. the original phone i bought does it. the first phone they sent did it. and now the 3rd phone i have the second replacement does it. all to the left. i cant imagine ALL 3 have the same exact hardware issue some im assuming its a bug baked into the firmware. ive found the accelerometer and gyro calibration files but i cant edit them for some reason. any help is appreciated.

What app are you using to test this
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Hmm, mine seems to be pretty spot on (without having attempted any calibration). The attached screenshot was taken from the Level tool in Smart Tools Pro, after holding my phone in landscape then laying it down on a flat surface. My setup is DynamicKat 4.2 and AEL kernel 7.3. Out of curiosity, if you check in the app Phone INFO Samsung, what hardware revision is your (the people who are having problems) phone? Mine is rev1.1. Just wondering if this might be a problem that affected rev1.0 devices and was possibly fixed in rev1.1?

How do I access that? I've seen the Rev version some where before I can't seem to find it now though.

I had to search a bit for it too with the app's new UI
After launching the app, swipe right (swipe R -> L, that is) through the menus until you get to the Hardware section. Then you'll find the hardware revision near the middle in that section.

What app are we taking about exactly? The phone dialer app? Kinda confused. You're gong to have to lay this one out for me lol. I'm still on KK 4.4.4
Also thank you for your help and trouble shooting.

Oculus no longer supporting the Note 7!!!

So i was using my oculus gear vr at work and it was working fine. I tried using it just now and it said it had to update. It doesn't let you do anything till you do so.... So after it does a screen comes on it that basically says "oculus is no longer supporting the Note 7. For further details contact samsung directly" .... dammit! It was working fine. My note is V2 (yeah in aware of the news) but still.
What to do? Any work around? I have several paid games that I can no longer use.
Edit: I guess ill try reinstalling the app and uncheck "auto updates"

and the abandon note 7 ship begins lol
when you reinstall the apk did it work?

nothing, it just reinstalls the latest "updated version 2.15.4." I can't find anywhere to d/l previous versions of the oculus apk. I really don't want a S7 but it's looking that way! Dammit samsung.. . Get your $hyt together

Wonder if theres a way to stop the update. I've backed up all the Oculus apks just in case, but where to go from here.

I can understand the Oculus reluctance to support the Note 7. I didn't experience it myself, but phones typically run pretty hot in VR equipment. I'd suppose they don't want any exploders that close to someone's eyes. Lawyers tend to get a bit cranky.

I'm rooted and I've tried restoring various combinations of apks. Nothing works. You can't even play your own movies on your phone. It requires wifi and as soon as wifi is enable, it refuses to go forward without updating. I haven't tried enabling wifi, but blocking the oculus servers, enabling local wifi, but not internet, or any hacking to change the phone id.

From an email I just got:
Customer safety is our top priority. While Samsung investigates multiple reports of issues on the Samsung Galaxy Note7, Oculus is removing support for all Note7 devices on the Oculus platform.
If you have bought content in the Oculus store to use with your Note7 and you’d like to be refunded, Oculus will honor that. More information about the refund process is forthcoming, and if you have any immediate questions, please go here.
For more information regarding the Note7, please visit Samsung’s information page or contact Samsung directly.

So i guess Internet is mandatory to use the oculus software.... I was thinking that maybe installing a previous version apk while having all wifi and data off and then choosing to not let oculus update automatically would allow us to use the software.
Ugh... S7 edge!

If you have root, change the phone model with the buildprop editor. I did this on my note4 to trick oculus into letting me install AltSpaceVR, since it said it requires Note 5. I bet that'll make it work.

I know that could work but I don't want root. There's got to be a way to block the app from checking your phone.

I'd like to try that, but I'd need the build. prop from an S7 edge or equivalent supported by oculus. I don't know the phone model text required, and there's lots of identifying info in build.prop about the Note 7. I'll hunt around for build.prop info on the S7, but if anyone can post it here, I'd appreciate it. (I had an S7 edge until a few days ago as a loaner.)
---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------
Okay, using root, I changed /system/build.prop and substituted SM-G935T into the ro.product.model. It works! At least mostly...
It knows who I am, but some of my apps aren't there. I also can't play any of my local videos. It can't find them. However, I could play facebook videos and I think it's allowing free games, etc. I've only been testing a few minutes.
I also tried SM-G930T, which also passes into the home area, but you can't merge your eyes. It's not displaying correctly for a Note 7 screen.

I think I may have found a work around for the VR issue. I edited my build prop so that my note 7 looks like the s7. after restart no more prompting to upgrade oculus and went straigth to the apps page.

You sound like your exactly where I'm at smudger40. My phone arrived last wed so under DSR I've got a fortnight. After a fortnight I'm stuck with it for the next 2 years.
I'm after a near stock / totally stock android phone which leaves the pixel.
But like you I'm watching what price it is released at and with the fruity firm releasing a £1150 handset, what's not to say the pixel 2 hasn't suddenly gone up even more.
Like yourself I suspect it's going to be around £750 ish.
Which makes the Nokia a real bargain. My Nokia is going back so I'm covered under DSR and im just going to sit on the fence and see what pixel 2 looks like come oct.
And at that point i maybe re-order the nokia and hope I get a better one than the one I'm returning.
As for the X phone... I think this will open the flood gates to 3 year phone contracts to make the phone contract affordable or people are going to have to put 300-400 towards the handset cost.

I've had random reboots. Also issues with phone app and alarm. Phone app is being silent and unresponsive, alarm is just silent.

No issues here at all. Maybe try a factory reset and run with bare minimum a day or 2.
If it still happens it could very well be issues specific to your phone and you should be able to return it and get it either replaced or repaired.

Running a flagship phone with bare minimum? That makes no sense.
I have random reboots, phone app crashes on incoming calls, apps lag heavily, phone gets stuck in landscape mode.
Even the original ZTE Blade had better software than this. This is my first Nokia phone in 17 years and I will probably never get another one.

The very least you can do is to factory reset and some basic trial and error... If the service workshop factory reset it and can't find issues they basically end up claiming you caused the problems. Gathering some proof makes them look like the idiot instead.
It could very well be hardware related since mine works perfectly. **** happens. No brand has 100% flawless phones.
Avoid Nokia if you must... But then avoid Samsung due to Note 7 aka Firestarter, Sony due to random reboots on my Z5 premium (that they fixed later), Apple due to critically flawed updates... The list can go rather large if you really put some time on finding reasons to avoid something.

Already am avoiding all brands you mentioned.

I really like the Nokia 8. Just what I really wanted but, mines not been right from the first day. However, having seen pics that were leaked last night of the pixel 2, I think that looks a proper minger. Then there's leaks of the Nokia 9 appearing every where.
Sitting this one out till Nov when either I go Nokia 8/9 or minger phone (pixel 2 XL) depending on how stupidly it is priced

LG G8 in hand. Here's what's happening so far

Hey I have a Verizon retail unit I'm reviewing and figured I start a thread about it with what I'm experiencing as I go.
I did an unboxing and first look comparing it to the V40 and the Pixel 3. https://youtu.be/fFcwGiNcJkw
First I must say I like that LG launched this with Android Pie, V40 still waiting. Also it's great to have a wide angle camera back. I stopped using the v40 since it did not have pie and could not set it up from my daily pixel 3 because of it.
I have popped a Verizon sim in so real world testing has started. I will be taking it down to a NASA launch this week so will be taking LOTS of photos and videos with it over the next week. Be sure to follow me @jerflash on Instagram and Twitter for first look at photos.
Let me know if you have any questions and take a look at my other videos ?

1st, could you please show in video if one can turn on "Pie Andriod gestures" on G8 in settings? Or are they totally disabled from kernel and not supported ? That'll be weird 'cause w/o gestures G8 is DOA

The Android Pie gestures are indeed present. When I used my Pixel 3 to fully setup the device they turned on automatically bit you can enable them in settings.
The pill looks a bit different from the one on the Pixel but works the same. The animation is a bit jank when swiping up from the pill to get resents. I suspect they don't think many people will turn it on.

Not sure if you knew this but you don't have to even swipe up. You can just swipe sideways on the pill for recents which I find very quick.

Yes this does work quicker than the pull-up but not quite as intuitive for me. I use it on the pixel occasionally.

Love the LG G8 that I’ve purchased from T-Mobile though I have major issues that might make me trade it in for a Oneplus 7 (if T-Mobile sells it).
work on improving face ID and hand ID for better security features
use TOF camera to create excellent selfies
update the Lg skin already to something more modern UI
full screen gestures as an option (pill gestures are terrible)
perfect night mode in the camera app
Finally, to make a difference join the google android Q beta and be first since both of your phones were out early.
With these problems, if the one plus 7 comes with the 48 mega pixel Sony sensor for binning support, 6.2 – 6.4 inches display and how fast they do updates will make me trade in LG G8.

Can you please share screenshot of camera details using app called hw device info?

Love the LG G8 that I’ve purchased from T-Mobile though I have major issues that might make me trade it in for a Oneplus 7 (if T-Mobile sells it).
work on improving face ID and hand ID for better security features
use TOF camera to create excellent selfies
update the Lg skin already to something more modern UI
full screen gestures as an option (pill gestures are terrible)

With what you describe here it sounds like you are more of a Pixel/1plus type of person. Hopefully the 7 comes out for you and you can move on.

Identical to LG v40
The front selfie is different, it uses the same one like the 5x zoom telephoto camera sensor of Huawei p30 pro

activating Google play dark mode

Hi all,
Saw my daughter over the weekend and she has a p20 pro like me. However her play store has dark mode?
She's on an earlier EMUI build to be, 318 I think, I'm on 328
Both emui 9.1
I've tried darken interface colours and some themes but it just stays on light mode?
Any ideas?

^^This.
Funny thing is, after you get dark mode you can uninstall the app.

You're referring to darken interface colours. Like I said I had turned that on already. .

A bit out off topic but has anyone managed to make instagram dark mode? It activates on its own the dark mode as far as i know when you have it enabled on the phone but mine is still on light mode even though my phone is on dark mode. Also i am on 9.1.0.345 version and instagram on its latest version installed.

It's an official version modified to allow for changes like themes and such, you can also block things like status etc.
Literally no one asking you to install it..so don't.

I had a feelin about that tbh, called a draw but I'll take the loss. Pep finally being found out.
Everyone's still looking for the wheels to come off for city, they're already off, Leicester are the real threat now unless vardy goes off form or Madison gets injured..
Or both hopefully
I'm still sceptical. One at a time..
And boom, AJ just schooled Ruiz..
Did you watch it?!

I watched the footie yes, but not the boxing game. I lost interest in watching boxing around the Chris Eubank era days.

Aye I'm even older than that unfortunately, Steve Collins was my favourite boxer. Just a beast.
The AJ fight was absolutely superb, great undercards and he really did teach him a lesson.
Just watching villa hopefully pip Leicester.
My lads football team just won 7-1 too.
Doing well
The city loss is a thing of beauty though, might subscribe up the city YouTube channel just to raise my smile a little more.
PS: on topic (ish)
Started using flick launcher, got the pro version. Not bar at all, smooth and themeable.
What's the AOSIP / AOSP launcher called? That's ridiculously smooth..

The City YouTube channel? Haha I checked nothing really much of a unofficial fan club exists, well I saw one, had about 10 subscribers. Lol a bit like the Emptihad stadium.
Don't flame me, but I quite like the Yandex Launcher.
