You use Nova Launcher as a widget, how do you make it take the full screen?

I guess you mean PujieBlack right? Just make it big and then click on "Margins"

For square displays- Lightning Launcher + X3 UI template apk (attached to this post), and your favorite watchface, email, sms, music, calendar, call log and notifications log widgets.
Not sure what X3 UI is watch this video

You can connect the watch to the computer and use some apps to see and manage the watch in the computer.
Nevertheless I did not change the preset, I made it by hand in the watch

Everyone looking for a good calendar app should try the app acalendar. It looks beautiful on the watch and can be easily operated by swipes and menu ( bottom key acts as menu key).
I had also tried K9/KK mail. Both works ok, however the window for the mail is only half screensize, so there is a lot of scrolling involved....
If anyone knew the perfect mail program, please tell me.

Did you guys already notice an improvement or degradation in battery consumption? Cause I don't want to install an Update, just to have less battery than before.

Battery life as been heavily degradated. In my case, when full charged to 100% and right after I disconnect the phone, it goes from 100 to 97% in just 5 minutes

How old is your phone? Maybe it's just the normal wearing of the battery.

It's 8 months old, and I know it's a software issue because with the previous build (August security updates) the battery life was amazing, this one (September) is a total cr**.

My wife has the 6 edge, and now her handset doesn't recognise her Samsung charger as a "fast" charger anymore since this last update.
She also says the battery life is worse.

Check battery options and go all the way down. There you can turn fast charging on and off. But if I were you, I'd leave it turned off. It will definitly wear your battery faster and the benefits to charging it a bit faster are neglegible to me at least.

Last update really messed up my battery life. Should've stayed on the previous one. I am getting tired of this up and down after every update. And my device is only 3 months old.

Yeah, the latest update really screwed the battery life, I can feel the phone hotter than normal, something went really wrong with this update, also, S6 edge plus have this problem with the equivalent update

Color saturation & accuracy

If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the Sony Xperia 1's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Really where the phone's screen really shines: the colour calibration on this screen is as good as I've ever seen.

Colour saturation on this phone is proper. From sde by side comparison with S8 and HTC one M8, I can say it's not too saturated like S8 and not dull like M8. It's in between which I think is closer to reality.

More examples

I'm not satisfied with the callibration, could be definitely better. Mine has a visible green tint which I can minimize by adjusting WB, but the colors are still dull and I miss vibrant colors mode from XZ1. And still, tilting the screen just a bit makes everything greenish.

The screen is great then, good color vibrancy but not Poppy like chinese ones.

About the screen color, i also find the default cool setting to be too blueish, im using the medium setting.

I love how Sony optimized this phone for movie, combine with dynamic vibration, awesome experience!

You can play with those numbers, moving in 1 or 2 increase/decrease both at same time red and green numbers

S10 Plus Poor LTE/3G signal strenght

Hi everyone i coming from Slovenia/Europe and i have similar or same problmes as US Sprint version of S10 with poor signal strenght i try reboot,reseat sim,reset network settings,factory reset but nothing help. With my old Note8 on same place i have full 4G/LTE signal i means all 4 bars now on S10+ i cant reach more than 2 bars sometimes is 1 bar or just drop to 3G or H+
Is there any more solution how fix that i test it with other phones to my dad have J6 2018 and on same place he have full signal without problems in case when i get 4G is very slow

well its a US Sprint version... check the bands your model number has and what bands ur carrier operates on.
You may be missing some required by your carrier for full lte support... in which case nothing will solve the issue but finding a phone with compatible bands

What is the full model of the phone take a screen shot like I just did. You mentioned Sprint, but wasn't sure if you said the issue is similar to Sprint s10 or you actually have a Sprint S10. Try putting your wife's sim card inside your s10 and see what happens.

I already try sim in wife phone but its same
Poslano z mojega SM-G975F z uporabo Tapatalk

I think that the S10+ has radio issues (T-mobile). There is a portion of roadway that I always every time no matter what lose signal. Took my son's Samsung J7 Star with me for two days (both ways) on this road, didn't lose the signal. I took my phone back to T-mobile while under warranty and got another new S10+ and it is doing the same thing. T-mobile coverage map shows service on that road, it seems to be pointing to the S10+ itself. Next I plan on taking my wife's S10+ phone for a ride along and see if that phone loses signal.

The other thing to check for signal is the sim card status menu ( more accurate than just bars) compare the actual signal that you receive to your note 8 in same place with same sim card etc.

Well that is the way to check signal strength more accurately than just by looking at the bars. If you're concerned take it to Samsung for warranty inspection.

Same here after clean install.

And 1 day after - camera again lagg on my mi9t ... So anyone have a idea how resolve this issue ?

I actually had lagging issue in wideangle lens when i started using this phone...and after i saw this thread and checked again, the camera app is not lagging anymore lol...i didnt do anything to the camera app nor modify anything that is potentially related to the camera...really weird....

Hey guys, when camera will freeze, we can change camera mode without problem and then camera will start to work, without cleaning cache or force closing we must wait for better solution ? this is half-hearted help ?

Have the same issue. I've only taken 2-3 photos in ultrawide and that camera appears to be lagging constantly. The normal and zoomed work fine.
