Just downloading now - will let you know!
Was going to post about it as I just randomly checked if there was anything and it said that the server is overloaded and I needed to try again or connect to kies

do you have any screen issues you can report back on before and after update?

I was seeing some colour blur when scrolling the settings screen before update, that seems to have been substantially reduced now.

What firmware version??

Can't see anything new just yet but will keep an eye out.
White does seem whiter but that could just be me.

Camera firmware was updated.
I just turned on the camera and it said updating firmware

The update says 'improved stability' I haven't noticed any smearing issues on mine.
There's a camera firmware update included

If I did, it wasn't noticeable enough for it to matter to me.

I installed it on mine. Im pretty sure lag is GONE. Going back to the home screen from apps no longer stutters.
Haven't noticed any other changes.

How long
Trying to update for like 2 hours now and its only at 70%, is this normal or is there something wrong.

Is this for unbranded versions of the handset?
I have an EE handset which is completely unbranded?

As I said it, it jumped to 90% and is now done, it was very odd. Unbranded I believe from Vodafone uk.

Can you please verify if the red tint blacks or smearing issue has been resolved with the new rom?

Power amp stock N3 SD800 or rooted with Viper audio?

Before rooting, I'd like to ask any N3 users who have used both in the title, which is preferable?
I'd rather not root, but if Viper audio is awesome on a N3, I'd like to hear about it? If it's only just ok, I'd rather stay stock for now, and do my best with Power amp.
Opinions appreciated.

It's an audio player design is the last thing that matters. I find the UI great and the interface is very easy to use.
There is a trial version on Google play, you can try it before making any decisions .

LG G2 won't wake up on incoming calls

Hi all,
I got a stock T-Mobile LG G2 (802). My screen stays black when somebody's calling me. I can hear the ring tone and the led is flashing but thats it. When i manually wake up the phone I still don't see the dialer and have to pull down the Quicksetting bar (or ow to call it?) and tap 'answer call' there. No need to tell you that I lose most of my calls that way.
Can't seem to find a solution on the web. Anyone else experiences this problem?
Thanks
strange
Didn't have this,don't know how to help you but for now you can activite the incomeing call answer in setting under general in gesture option.
Hope this help til someone help you.

Yeah me too. Stock KitKat d802 20b with root + twrp + soundmod.
Really bad bug imho.
Anyone?
Please people... This should be quite easy to test.
Just make yourself a call and check for screen wakeup delay.
For me it is 2 or 3 seconds before the display is on.
On AOSP this is not present

I have done a clean install of stock kitkat (that one with modded kernel to support recovery and root), and the problems still arises. Maybe:
1) you have a different software (jb? Aosp?)
2) you dont classify as lag the 2 seconds delay
3) the hw variant may count?? (I have intl d802)
4) you lie xD
Is there anyone here who flashed kitkat on international d802 with original kdz file AND is affected from this bug?

Problem partially solved on my t-mobile 802.
The kitkat update i got on monday the 25th of march was the solution. There still is a small delay of 2 seconds before the caller id shows on the screen but thats nothing compared to the complete blackness pre-update.
Anyone else got this problem solved this way?
Off-Topic: Other improvements I noticed 'Knock on' works 4/5 times instead of 2/4. (Way) better power management and the typing is more responsive as is the phone as a whole.

Yeah +1 for the improvements, but regarding knockon there is still some road to do before it can be considered as a replacement for hw key.

Durocks.

Dead camera pixel

Are these dead pixels? I have found 13 on my SGS7E
Can anything be done other than an RMA?
Thanks

Not sure but I was on APF2 and now on APFG and I have never seen this hot pixel again. And from what I saw people who reported this problem are all on APEQ firmware. So I assume it's the problem.

similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/camera-problem-pink-purple-spots-s7-t3414431
think that its software problem but not sure (APEQ). Samsung France said I should give my device to the nearest repair center cause of the possibility that will be the hardware problem. I didnt give it for now... Anyone try with stock firmware?
I am shure You shut the pic in HDR on mode. And when you take several pictures the hot pixels apear in the same Position,that why i think it is hardware related isue.Also it show that only the Samsung Sensor ist affected.

Samsung insisted my phone needed to be repaired for this. Just got it back and the problem remains! do they not even check before they ship them back!?
I also sent my phone to repair. There are 2 hot pixel at the center of the sensor, only appears in HDR mode.
Firmware info: 2016-09-08, Spain, G935FXXU1BPHJ
If they don't fixit, I'll insist until the problem be solved

Finally, customer service repaired mine, changed the camera module. Now I don't have any hot pixel even in HDR mode. :victory: :good:

Touch Sensitivity issue advice

Hi its been a few days and my touch sensitivity has gone abit funny, more on the lower left side of screen. I.e. if i scroll up or down on the browser, links get pressed. P.s. i have the same screen protector on since and before the issue.
I read somewhere that if in dialer you type *#2663# and update
TSP firmware, it may fix the problem. I wanted to know if this method would trip knox? Also besides this are there any other methods?
Thanks
Sent from my SM-G935F using xda premium
I've used this method and it doesn't trip Knox. It improved my touch responsiveness some. Think it brings those touchscreen drivers/firmware in line with your OS firmware. Also try cleaning your screen well. I find a little dust on the "edge" part of the screen causes issues. All else fails try a different firmware.

Maybe they installing a full stock rom is your next step. Don't think there is an undo for that. What firmware and country are you using?
