I have posted a bug on samsung developer forum and got this answer:
"This forum support only developer issues. This is end-user issue."
source: http://developer.samsung.com/forum/...neralB&messageId=201822&startPage=1&curPage=1
so it is customer problem that we get those bugs? or is it feature?
and one more:
i have also reported of touchwizz bug related on all jb firmwares, like fc while deleting home page, folder or quick icons on locked screen and they comfirmed about this bug but also said that it isnt their fault.....
source http://developer.samsung.com/forum/...neralB&messageId=200862&startPage=1&curPage=2
"I have to admit that your feedback was very helpfull to know the cause of the problem, but on the other hand, when you turn on "Developer options" you can see a caution: "These Settings are intended for development use only. They can cause errors to occur on your device and with the applications on it.". You have been informed that there may be problems with device and with the applications. The problem never occurs with the "Developer options" turned off."
so again it is fault of customers that they uses functions which are implented?
maybe i'm not correct but common they could fix those bugs instead of finding the explanation saying that it isnt their fault...
It really isn't their problem once you decide to turn on developer options.

if animation/transition scales wouldnt be at developer settings, i wouldnt care about that option. But common when scale is at 1.0x, transition isnt so smooth as with 0.5x or with disabled...
Think about it the other way. They could stop you from accessing any feature which isn't 100% working.
Remember programming isn't as simple as - I'll just fix this and get it working perfectly.

Far from it. The Developer Options are meant to assist app development on the device. There is a warning you upfront that turning on these options may cause issues and they're turned off by default. What's the point in turning these on and then complaining something broke!?
Much as we'd like it at least in this case, can't have your cake and eat it too

Hey Guys,
I can't seem to find this information anywhere. My new car headunit support miracast screen mirroring and unfortunately google doesn't include support for it on my current Nexus 6P. If it's supported by the essential phone it pushes me closer to clicking buy.
Thanks!
Yes. You gotta turn it on under sounds > cast > menu

Yup, it works with the sony bravia I tried out.
One thing I noticed on a quick test is the black bar in landscape mode shows up on screen even on full screen.

Will be getting my phone soon. I do have a Sony TV, hope the phone will project to it.
Guys I read in several tests, that the G6 has a special extra brightness mode that is activated in direct sunlight, if the phone is in auto brightness mode.
are there any plans for a hack that could implement this in manual mode? so you can use this extra brightness whenever you want, and preferably the in between settings?
thx.

Good idea
I get this extra brightness mode without beeing in autobrightness. It is activated using more saturated colors I think, or that is what I see when I am in direct sunlight. You will percive it better in whatsapp and if you want to know if it is working just cover the top of the phone with the hand.

yes, install Shortcut master, three dots on the right and click "app explorer", then a list of the apps will show, search for Hidden Menu, click in and select "launch", then you go into the list of the hidden menu deatures and find "High Lux Mode" and click and put it in ON or Enable.
Reboot the phone and voilá, your phone is more clear/bright in the sunlight.
That doesn't work with the Verizon LG G6. I installed the app and the Hidden menu does not exist.

It doesn't work for non-rooted phones, I think.
Edit: I can't say if it works on rooted phones either, but it just says:

as i know no, its not possible without root.
and yes, it works because i do it myself and see some changes in direct sunlight, as for normal places with max. bright you dont notice much so, i use it normally like 35-50% most of the time bit with this simple trick and with sme sunny day i did notice a better brighter image.

thx for the answer man, i just tried it on a shop display phone, probably also didnt worked beacuse of no root.
but can you tell us about how it looks, or how usable it is in everyday life?
how much brighter is it?
any chance of you posting a video showing this?
i mean real video with another camera that show how much extra brighness it gives.
thx.

looks more brighter, just that...is usable as if they are no mod to the brightness, the screen just get a little more hot but nothing special, but you feel it in the finger...
i am no expert but i can say, maybe 40-50 nits more than original.
how a video will show the brightness?! you wont notice it because i dont have two phones to show the difference and there's no way you notice it with a video. I mean, even if i have two G6 one with this little mod and other without the difference in direct sunlight isnt visible with the eyes because of sunlight, and inside with the same thing you will notice just a little, little little difference.
This works but since is a brightness thing wich mess with display and cameras wont show it well.
Sure you're not confusing it with the G7?

Yeah, Samsung devices have had this for a while, noticed it was on the G6 too, but to a much less extreme, on my S6 the brightness difference is insane, on the G6 it's there but not as insane, still would be cool to see as a mod, but I can imagine this would cause damage to the display (burn in, yes I know LCDs have a LOT less chance of burn in, but it still happens!) and a ton of battery draw/excess heat...
Edit: cool, It is a mod! didn't read the rest of the thread.
So I downloaded an unzipped the files, anyone notice there seems to be a lot less files...... anyone notice this? I did last year's DP1 but I don't remember the details.

I think it isnt that smooth , at least compared to pie
I tried to use Deuce's flash, that didn't work. I tried to root it using Canary Magisk. That didn't work.

No Q root via Magisk until major rewrite it seems.
https://twitter.com/topjohnwu/status/1105947979679191041
There are more tweets after that explaining why and the complexities of the new Q partition layout.
Thanks! I was rushing before work. I figured I'd give it a shot. I wasn't totally surprised it ended in failure.

Apparently you gotta use ADB to enable it. There's a recent article regarding it.

I cant upload photos , dont know why , it takes me to main xda page when i close the window , but in dev options ( in settings) the last section lets you choose font type (2 available ) , main colour of the ui and icon type( 4 available )
I cant tell if they were there before
Trying to upload the screenshot i took , i found that the app to choose files is renewed , for better

Yep. TJW had that one handled a couple of days after it was out. Doesn't look like the case this time however. Google apparently doesn't like us rooting evidently!
Anyone know if OnePlus gestures works okay on Q?

It's working for me, but it appears to need more forceful gestures than previously. But this might be because I fitted a new screen protector yesterday!
In reading the twitter feed by Magisk dev John Wu, it may come sooner than expected, his last couple of tweets made it seem like he had narrowed the problem down a bit. Also, another user hinted at a possibility of getting it working via an alternate method, but I haven't seen anything else.
But since this thread is about Q, let me say this:
1) I already had dark mode on in Pie.
2) I had root via Magisk, but completely uninstalled it (without locking the bootloader though), so no FDR needed.
3) First attempt at taking the OTA left me in a weird partial (stock) recovery where it said that the OTA could not be applied (I'm paraphrasing), and had the options to try again or FDR. I hit try again and it rebooted back to the same place - I hit try again a second time and et voila! it rebooted to Android and I have Q now on my Taimen. No idea why that happened, and I haven't performed any checks to see if it maybe flipped to the other slot or something (which I highly doubt, as it was extremely quick from when I pressed the try again to when it rebooted and started booting Android Q).
So, first thoughts:
The Google Feed now has a bit of translucency - pretty cool!
Settings is now dark mode
Notifications are also dark, double yay!
Night light is working better - the blue accents in settings, etc now also dull, the way they should.
Redesigned Files app - looks nice! Those items at the top are selectable, individually or in groups.
I've started an album at my GPHotos with screenshots I've taken thus far. See https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdbTnXZNYpQ3xBFS6

I can confirm this. I'm using Pixel 2 XL and Pixel XL and after update to Q beta I can feel fingerprint sensor works faster on both devices. even I can feel so much faster response on Pixel XL

hi for the last year or so i've been working on designing a custom environment for android, i just released a custom navigationbar app called arc lighting navigationbar on the playstore allthough it has been used and tested on galaxy devices such as the note 9 it works on any other phone too, this app will let you customize the navigationbar extensively, which includes changing each button back,home,recent apps to various icons both presets and icons from any iconpack, you can also place colored layers behind the icons, each color can also follow your wallpaper or app, you can customize it so much that you can turn it into a taskbar for desktop use meaning you can use any phone as a pc without a seperate environment such as samsung dex, the app is called arc lighting navigationbar, i couldn't possibly describe everything it can do so you'd have to test it i don't think theres anything you can think of that you can't do with when it comes to customization, whats left is the dockmenu for true desktop and mobile environment but the developer i am working with does not want to finish the work until this app gets traffic as i owe him too much money for the work he did.
here you can see it on a s9+ https://www.facebook.com/symetium/videos/441167859757603/
and here you can see it on a xperia 1 including it's desktop ui

in the beginning of the message you say you are developing the app and its in the play store and then at the end u speak about the actual dev is someone else and they dont want to finish the work for x reason.
sooo.. what are we to do with this?
is it available or not?
or is this just to monetize youtube links?

honestly it means a lot when someone truly appreciates my work i have to go through a lot of 1 star ratings for really weird reasons such as too complicated or uses too many permissions so it's nice when someone actually appreciates it thank you, and yes it is difficult to figure out as i wanted customization per button rather than all 3 at once, i could have made it simpler and had one light control for all buttons at once but each button has it's own full set of settings icon, color,light indicator,movement, layer etc i don't find it complicated as i designed it but i understand if other people do.
I'm impressed. To be able to do that without root is awesome since this thing is in root limbo. As soon as I have 6 bucks I'll donate. I'm on an N9... Can't get the advanced option to work... Any thoughts?

well i am really sorry to say but the advanced option does not work on galaxy phones for some reason so the app has been made to block the advanced option to function, we tried to get it to work but it crashes the phones ui theres something with oneui so you'd need to use the mode that requires no root or software, the difference between advanced and simple is simply no transparency theres no other difference so you get all the same features as advanced but instead of modifying the navigationbar it will place one ontop of the old one i recommend doing this with gesture navigation enabled as then you get a very thin navigationbar as well as the gesture navigation, but i am so sorry for this i should have been more clear on that, made me sad considering you liked the app.
Sounds great. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

you're welcome let me know if you need any help, as mentioned i do recommend enabling gesture navigation first this makes the navigationbar much thinner than usual it also allows you to use gesture navigation or taps at the same time.
