Need fix for my device

Hi all, I've Octacore version from India. Facing few issues listed below. Any help will be great.
1. The ringer volume is low compared to my Note2. Can we boost it.
2. I use Pocket Sensor app which worked great in Note2, and in Note3 it kills my battery.
3. Overall my battery seems draining quick and I want a fix. To survive, I've got my powebank.
4. Is S - View cover worth? It's yet to come to market here.
5. Anyone using Floating Toucher? The response is quite laggy in note3.

[Q] Nexus 7 vs Kindle Paperwhite

A few weeks ago the Mrs broke her 4 year old Kindle.
She was going to replace it with a Kindle Paperwhite straight away until I pointed out that an old tablet could do the same and much more, for roughly the same money. :highfive:
Do any of you guys use your Nexus 7 primarily as your reading device? Which version of Android do you use and which is the best for battery life?
We are not interested in the Kindle Fire due to there crap UI.
Thanks in Advance. :highfive:

I use it for read and play some clash of clans mainly.
It has lollipop installed running fine. Same performance than kitkat with a little bit more of battery life in my case.

Thanks Straycat. :highfive:
I imagine you are having to charge the tablet every night if you are gaming on it?
Do your eyes ever feel strained while reading for a long period?

Note 4 or Note 5?

Hello every happy note owner... I am planning to buy a new smartphone.. i have two smartphone in my mind.. 1) note 4 or 2) note 5.
I saw a thread about the zerolemon for the note 4 10000mah and 500gb sd card.. For me is the battery important.. does the note 5 have good battery or would you buy note 4 with the zerolemon? i need honest opinion.. And does the note 4 can handle every app and game fluid? i love heavy games.. Modern combat and nfs no limit and so on.. Thx in advance

Get the Note 4. Note 5 is junk.

I had the option to choose either, but I chose Note 4. It has removable back and SD Card which makes it a real Note. You can say the camera on the Note 5 is %30 better. I already have NFS No Limits, and going through tabs in game is laggy, but I think it is the game's problem, because the gameplay (when racing) has %0 lags. There are also Note 5 ports if you are willing to ROOT it.
I am really happy with it.

In my opinion the note 5 is a fashion tool much more expensive, no ext sd card, no removable battery, but very pretty a few better things than the note 4 but not much. The Note 4, removable battery, ext sd card, ir blaster and has a professional look, performance is excelent on the note 4 and if for you battery is the most import, get the note 4 and buy a zerolemon thing. This is my personal opinion!

The Note 5 has the better hardware no question about that, you just have to ask yourself if better performance is worth giving up a swappable battery and external sd-slot for? Personally I would pick the Note 5 over the Note 4 at this point as it is bound to get Marshmellow faster.

Look at this and make your own decision. It all depends on your personal preference

I have played around with the Note 5. I'm keeping my Note 4. I personally do t feel the Note 5 is worth upgrading to.
Note 4 using Taptalk

Fact is that note 4 does support.. sd card.. Removable battery.. ir blaser.. These 3 things are very important to me.. my question was that if the note 5 is really faster alot. I am talking about real life performance and not stupid antutu benchmarks. thx for everyone who replied to help me out

The Note 5 is the newer phone, so naturally it's faster. BUT, we are basically at a point where the performance in flagships is a none issue in real life. The Note 4 does not lag as does the Note 5. I have yet to find a game which the N4 under clocked to 1496 Mhz won't handle.
Plus the development for N4 is quiet a bit further, so you are able to get overclockable kernels, CM, MIUI and all the N5 Software Features. For me Battery and SD are not that important and i chose the N4 none the less. I like to let devices mature a bit concerning Development. That way you get all the fixes from devs for things Sammy screwed up :good:

Note 5 is junk
Note 5 is junk, why must remove IR blaser in note 5?
For me Removable battery and IR blaser is very important and isn't important benchmarks for me when Note 4 is fast enough.

Note 4 still the best for me

Well i dont use my phone for 2-3 years but i always buy a phone that i "could" use for that long ...after all i am spending heck lot of money on it recently i had the option to buy a note 5 or 4...i went for note 4 because of 1)REMOVEABLE BATTERY it does not have a built in expiry date like note 5 or galaxy s6...and its not easy to replace the battery on these phones 2) SD CARD i suggest you go for a NOTE 4 its called Android King for a reason !

Axon 7 vs Oneplus 3

Which one should i get? Please help me decide. I will be using it on ATT network. I am coming from the note 7 so need a phone that performs as well. How easy is it to root this phone? How is battery life and performance?

If root and custom roms are important go with the Oneplus. If you need it fast don't get a Oneplus, it will take a few weeks to arrive

Root is fine, very easy to root and make root changes persist. Xposed works perfectly too. The device is just gorgeous and it definitely outspecs the Oneplus 3.
However, for custom roms, you'll have to wait a few weeks more but the stock firmware is alright ( better than samsung's laggy note 7 ux by miles.) so I'm pretty sure you'll be satisfied with the axon 7.

Thanks guys. I think I am going to order it from amazon. How is it in direct sunlight. I know the note 7 gets really bright.

Actually Roms are not that important but root is. I hate all the ads with the note 7. I want my adaway.

Depends on what version you get. The European version is still locked without root...or at least many had problems with unlocking...

That's the US version, no problem rooting and unlocking at all.
For the brightness, I haven't had any problems reading the screen in direct sunlight, not as bright as the Note 7, but since the viewing angles are amazing on the Axon 7 it can do with the lower brightness
Now you just have to wait for it to ship to you, that's the hardest part

So you guys are able to unlock the boot loader too?

A few answers for OP
Axon 7
1) Bootloader
It is possible to unlock the bootloader both on US and EU versions of the phone.
However, "official" unlock is offered by ZTE only for US version.
Unlocking bootloader voids warranty. However, as XDA has provided tools to lock and unlock the bootloader, it is unclear how you would get caught.
2) Root
Root available. Regardless of whether your bootloader is unlocked
3) Roms
A version of CM 13 is being developed for Axon 7. Unofficially as of yet.
ZTE has talked a good game about assisting community development but we do not have a lot of concrete evidence thus far
OPO3 vs Axon 7 [strictly IMHO]
OPO3
better camera
more RAM (6GB)
ever so slightly faster fingerprint reader
Advanced ROM development
DASH charge is faster than Quickcharge on Axon 7. But DASH charge is a proprietary standard and thus cables and chargers are more expensive and difficult to obtain
Axon 7
Higher resolution screen
Longer battery life
Front stereo speakers
SD card slot
Internal DAC for higher quality music
Dual sim
Distinctive form factor (this is subjective of course)

Yes it can be unlocked now using TWRP without contacting ZTE. See thread in dev forums.

I chose the Axon 7 over the one plus for better screen, micro SD, dual front facing speakers, and fingerprint on the back.

What phone did you come from? How do you like it so far?

I had iPhones, one plus one, moto g 2015, Honor 5x, then this. I love this phone even though it costs twice as much as my 5x. I'm rooted with adaway. Bootloader locked.

What do you not like about your le max 2?

For me: definately the black borders around the display.
Gesendet von meinem Le X829 mit Tapatalk

No Headphone jack ? besides this, this phone is a beast for the price!

It's pink..... Ugh.

come on - that sort of pink isn't a torture, i like it more and more each day/ i ordered it together with the le eco bluetooth earphones so for me everything is okay... except the on/out switch is (for me) on a strange position... and the "screen flickering problem"
I am totally surprised by the eui (in a positive way) and i think i stick to that - after using cm roms up to cm 14 for years- sorry folks

one cool feature in eui is that you can shut down the phone completely and wake it up again bei schedule. haven't seen this before.
Gesendet von meinem Le X829 mit Tapatalk

Yes - compared to samsung stock roms that are pain in the ass - EUI is just nice and easy
I never stuck to samsung stock roms ,that why i choose cm from the very beginning - but this time - no need for .

This phone is the best one under 350-400 dollar or euro. U wont find a better one, the performance is incredible 159k on Antutu with the AOKP ROM, good display all is fine. I would buy it on and on.

Coming from a Samsung S6, the only flaw for now (for me) is that it's unable to send id tags when connected through Bluetooth.
And a 4000mAh would have been better.
Otherwise, you will never find better for this price.

Ur right, ull never find a Vetter phone for that money

Just the camera... I wish it was at least of Galaxy S5 quality.

:laugh:

My greatest dislike is the fact that 3G does not appear to work properly in close vicinity of an AT&T (and possibly other multi-sector) transmission tower. I can go a few blocks away from one and it works perfectly. It's a fundamental issue that makes it a less capable phone than a crappy old Inspire 4G, which doesn't have this kind of issue.
Outside of that, it's an incredible piece of hardware at great price. But I needed a good phone, not just a great pocket sized tablet computer.

Big dislike:
LeFingerprint - dead
LeDisplay - flickers sometimes
merde!
Gesendet von meinem LEX820 mit Tapatalk

fingerprint - dead
poor camera quality (and speed and focus)
crushing every (stock) phone in antutu except iP7 while staying almost cold for 160€: priceless

The Fingerprint and the official ROM hasnt Multi Lang.

I dont know how to explain but it seems that in Benchmarks this phone is fast like the hell but in some games its not that fast u would expect when u look at 159k antutu score!

And out of deepsleep your FP needs to be "pushed" 2 vor 3 times to relock the phone.

there should be a Nougat rom by now

For me it just needed a bigger battery, sd card expansion and getting rid of those uneven black bezels, the bottom one is thicker than all of the other 3...

wanna laugh?
eui 20s, fresh install.
