Z5 premium or s7 edge? HELP! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi everybody.
I'm about to buy a new smartphone but I'm still hesitating. I had an Xperia SL and I like Sony. I was going to choose the Z5 premium but some comments say the camera in the S7 edge is better. I saw some picture of the two phones and I have this impression too. Which one do you recommend me? In the Xperia SL, there were multicolour led notifications and each one has it's colour; facebook blue, SMS white, messenger green... I fear to not find this on the Samsung and the problem of the best camera. This is the only thing that prevents me from choosing.

There are 3rd party apps that will do that on the S7Edge

You can't chose Snapdragon 810 in 2016...you would really waste your money.

What answer do you expect in the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge thread?
Go to a local store, hold them both in your hands and test them.
Led color shouldn't be a problem on both devices.

The S7 has a (1) LED. Out of the box you can choose the color in different but not all apps. But there are different apps to manipulate the LED color per App. But I don't know if you need root access. So you can choose green in whatsapp and maybe blue in facebook messenger (in-app function).
In terms of camera comparison just search the internet. There must be thousands of images. When it comes to my device I can tell you it's great. But I can't tell something about the Z5 Premium - I don't own it
Pictures taken with the S7 Edge can be found in different threads like this one:

Differences between Galaxy S

I noticed that there are differences between galaxy s.
The galaxy of my girlfriend has the camera with a different quality, lower. It recognizes the fact that if you look at the sensor, my, have color amber, while lower, has green tinges water-blue. The difference of quality is fairly sharp, especially with low light.
In addition, the feedback of soft touch buttons on my girlfriend's phone is much stronger, while mine are much low.The vibration, has exactly the same intensity on both phones.
The tests I made ​​using the same rom on both phones.
The galaxy of my girlfriend had the combo of the 3 keys locked, while my no.
The phones are both Italian.
What do you think? You can try other galaxy?
I used google translate for post this, pls reply in english simplified.Thank you!

haptic feedback and the cam quality.. well mate it can never illustrate that your girlfriend has a different Galaxy S .. maybe her phone has some camera problem, and the vibration intensity, she might have a different firmware (rom) installed in her phone!
plus for verification you can go to SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE and compare the model number.. i hope it helps.. take care and have a good day!

oh well that's not a big issue.. take a chill pill!
Me and both my parents have galaxy S I9000's and I've noticed this too! Haptic feedback of the soft keys is low on one and high on another. It seems, after I just wiped my phone and updated to the latest version of miui, my soft keys also have really weak haptic feedback. It's odd but it must be a bug, I'm going to odin flash a stock Samsung firmware then cwm flash miui and see if it fixes it. I can't believe more people haven't noticed this?!
For the camera now i'm sure....Green camera's quality are lower.
I've tested 5 galaxy s with green camera, and i'm sure.
My photo test here: androidiani.com/forum/samsung-galaxy-s-i9000/69818-esistono-differenze-tra-2-gt-i9000-4.html
For haptic...it's complicate...My phone works well on MIUI/CM7, but, if i flash samsung rom, the trouble come back.I tried with alla rom..
I think that my phone worked fine when I bought it, but since I used odin, the feedback has not returned the same...
Mee too, I can't believe more people haven't noticed this... The question of camera are very important...

Well about the screen their isnt differences in screen , its just that they degrade acvording to how u use it. AMOLED screens are made of organic materials so they degrafe according to how u use it. If u have a blue wallpaper on 1 sgs for 3 monyhs and a green one on the anothrr ull notice the first ones colours degrading a bit slowly, and then their will.be damp patch soon.

Both phones are using stock jvt. No matter what rom is on phones displays are always different, even on 2.1 wich came with both phones.

HI,
I want to know is there anyway that i can get the camera effects of SAMSUNG GALAXY S3, Specifically Green Point , Red Point & Blue Point effect on my samsung galaxy s4 I9500 4.3.
Kindly help i really need those effects of Gs3 on my S4
Thanks
gahhh
I miss these effects soooooooooo bad!!! Ive been trying to figure out some way to get those effects on the note 3. I dont know why they were not included as these effects were totally awesome! I really hope someone figures it out. There must be some way to extract those files from the gallery apk :\
Any news? I miss them so much... :/
By the colour point effects, do you mean a B&W photo with just red, green or blue colour present? If this is what you meant, this is extremely easy to achieve in Photoshop or Lightroom.
But in keeping the editing process on the phone, there are tons of 3rd party camera and filter apps. Heres one for example that does what I think your looking for: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.colorSplashFX
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
I also miss these features. Any way we can port it from Note 2 and install it on Note 3?
Sorry if this is an old thread that has been long put to sleep, but I thought those of you who began this topic might be interested.
I too had been looking for this effect for my new mobile phone since upgrading from the S3 to the 2017 A5 and was disappointed to not be able to find it anywhere on any of the app stores, but then suddenly by accident I stumbled across it when I was looking for an improvement on my phones stock camera modes (mainly to find a better camera focussing app, but that's another story that only A5 owners will understand) and alas it does still exist and In an improved form in my humble opinion!
I found an app called "mx camera" and besides it being a great app, in its "fx" section it has a filter called "colour splash" that is exactly what we where all looking for, and it can be used both as an after effect or a live effect so that you can see what you are doing before taking the photo. It utilises a slider bar to change between green, orange, blue, purple and yellow point and works really well to create the look of the grey scale/black and white picture with only the chosen colour showing.
I hope this helps people and that you enjoy playing around with this filter!!

J7 Pro AOD problem

Hi everybody. Recently I bought a J7 pro for several reasons, one of which was Always on Display, a.k.a AOD. However from the first night I used it as a night clock I could apparently see that the background of the clock and notifications is not black and has a faint light. The funny part is that the preview of AOD is fine with all the black pixels off, but when you actually use it, all the pixels are on. I asked several J730F owners and they had the same problem, however my device is J730G. Please test and report. Just remember the environment must be completely dark.

Hey
I have the same problem
I have a j730f/D's
It's really frustrating and I guess it drains the battery a lot
I also noticed the that the preview of the aod is perfect on all brightness levels
Maybe thats because the display panel uses different settings when real aod is on ( like udervoltage and lower refresh rate things like this but I am not an expert )
Also visible on 3rd party apps from the PlayStore
I guess Samsung is using some hardware tweaks there to optimise battery life
What I also noticed is when the real aod is set to full brightness because of the sunlight the screen really gets black ( you can try this with a flashlight or so )
But on the lowest brightness the screen gets grey .
Would love to know if this is just software related or hardware
Because if it is hardware I give it a try and send it back

That's exactly my situation as well. On low brightness the screen is unbearably gray, otherwise it seems to be completely black. I guess you can try sending it back, unfortunately I don't have that option.
3rd party apps sucks because they can't use this special display mode Samsung uses
Maybe I will send it back
But I am not sure about that I wanted to wait until an update is coming, maybe it's software related so they can fix it .
I also send an email to Samsung but I saw your post on the Samsung forum so I don't expect too much
With how many ppl did you talk about that problem that have the j730f ? I mean it doesn't make sense to send it back and get a new one if it is a problem for every device
I got the same issue on my J730G/DS. When on low brightness aod, i can notice the whole screen lighting up a little bit. But on high brightness it is completely black. I think all j7 pro have this issue. At least we could try to send it back to samsung and see if they will fix or even do something about this issue.

Unfortunately we don't have a robust Samsung representative here and I believe we cannot convince them about this issue. I believe you guys should go for the guarantee. This way at least you raise the issue to their awareness in practice.
I have the same issue too.
I've chatted with samsung and ask them to try this but they keep saying "All of our units are fine".

I found several threads out there talking about this problem. Generally the problem was with S7 and other Samsung flagship devices. In all the circumstances there, the problem only was fixed by changing the AMOLED panel. However here in J7 pro it seems that when the screen is well lit, the black is truly black and when the ambient sensor reduces the light the problem shows its ugly face. This problem was not mentioned anywhere in those threads I mentioned.

I don't wanna waste any more money on my phone. So yeah let see what will Samsung do. It's impossible that this is the AMOLED panel fault. Looks like the version of our AOD is a bit old. Try compare it with the A 2017 Nougat AOD.

i tried atleast 3 different third party aod apps and all worked fine but only fault was battery consumption. so maybe it is not hardware problem. its just software related. we can only hope that samsung fixes it soon by update

Although I hope so and believe that j7 problem is different from previous problems seen on other faulty aods, but the way aod works is different from the way other aod apps work.
Hey guys
I've borrowed my friend's J7 Pro to see if she had this AOD problem. After I bring it to a very dark place, the AOD works like it should (No grayish AOD background). Guess it's a hardware problem. I will try to send it back to Samsung if I have time.

Have u tried it when the screen light adjusts to the dark environment? If so please do send it back to make sure what the source of the problem is.

The AOD uses the ambient light sensor to decide what brightness should be used ( I think AOD only recognize Dark and Bright situation, just like most of the proximity sensors )
So because it's dark, the screen also adjust itself to dark situation. No grayish background is seen. I compare mine with her side by side and I can see the difference.
Another thing to proof that this is a hardware problem is that when you put your finger on the fingerprint sensor and it unlocks, between the unlocking process, you can see the screen flicker before it unlocks the phone. Same as when you boot up the phone. Right after when you press the power button and it vibrate, you can see a flicker before "Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro" is shown.

Please do us all a huge favor and take some time and send the device to Samsung (I would if my phone was under warranty) so we can make sure what the root of the problem is and don't raise our hopes. :good:

I will find some time to send it back to Samsung. The distance from My home to the nearest Samsung Service Center is very far, took me about half an hour with usual traffic. But they are usually traffic jammed, so I predict an hour trip to the SSC. Not an easy job though I'm very busy all day.

Hey folks.
This Community works largely with US based devices so it's hard for us to speak on what may or may not have been in that update to cause this. You are welcome to see if the Community can assist, but as many may not have the same device as you it might also be worth reaching out to your region specifically for more in depth assistance!

I have this issue ever since I bough the phone in early August. Not 1 but 2 unit, model SM-J730G/DS. Both show the same symptom. Do Samsung selling phone with defect amoled panel or poor software implementation? What the hell!
If you all notice, the official samsung's AOD app for our J7 pro is not available anymore in Play Store. Why they remove support for our device? Why? From the feedback there, a lot of j7 pro owner report about this aod problem...

Joining the dark side (Galaxy S10+) from iPhone

Hi everyone,
I've been away from XDA for a while, my last android was the LG G6, then I switched to the iPhone X. After seeing the Galaxy S10+ in person I had to order it, so I'm officialy joining the Galaxy gang! it's such an awesome upgrade (love the o infinity display), my phone is arriving in 2-3 weeks, just wanted to check with you guys to see what I have missed out on the Android scene, any really useful apps, recommndations, general tips? Can't wait to be able to play around with my phone again.

That's awesome! we're on a similar journey. How have you been finding the camera on the S10+ ? The wide angle looks like it will have many good uses.
The camera is fine, for my use better than the iPhone X but not as crisp as the Pixel 3XL. I find that shooting in Pro Mode results in better photos. I save some basic presets and it's basically point-and-shoot.
Welcome back! Glad you came to your senses ??

Welcome to the bRight side of life. I myself moved from two Chinese iPhone-wannabes to have my very first Samsung. I must say, it really was a special move. [emoji57]

You will love it! So much freedom and flexibility. I loved using iMessage on Macbook Pro, until it died and I didn't want to pay APPLE TAX to get a new one. Web messaging is awesome if you spend your day on the computer. Ability to expand storage via microSD is a huge plus.
As for Samsung S10+, I have AT&T version, so much bloatware. I ended up buying Package Disabler Pro to disable some stuff (use at your own risk). SoftKey Edge is kind of useful, at least for me. I also use UAG case. Used them for years, never disappointed.
I would check out the bixby routines which are really powerful. You can automate certain phone functions (gps/data/wifi/media volume/apps autostarting) depending on different triggers.
Also, check out BxActions which can remap the bixby button to 3 different apps/shortcuts: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.bxactions&hl=nl
Other apps I like:
- Adguard (paid) which blocks ALL ads in apps and in the browser
- AccuBattery
- Join (to move files, clipboard contents, urls from pc to phone(s)/tablets)
- Nights Keeper (free/paid), you can use this app to set daily schedules for the sound to turn of/on depending on the time.
It can also disable wifi/gps/data if you keep your phone next to your bed
- Nova Launcher (free/paid) -> extremely configurable
- One Hand Operation app from Samsung
- Wallpaper Changer -> point to an album of wallpapers and it will change them when you want
- Swiftkey -> the best keyboard in my opinion if you want to use several languages without having to switch
- Swifi -> Force your phone to switch to a stronger wifi signal in your house (when having multiple AP's)
- Android Auto (if you have a car that supports it)
- SeriesGuide (if you watch a lot of tv shows)
- Solid Explorer (paid) my favorite File manager
- Google Keep for notes, lists etc
- Youtube Vanced (blocked ads, background play, black theme)

Welcome to the bRight side of life. I myself moved from two Chinese iPhone-wannabes to have my very first Samsung. I must say, it really was a special move. [emoji57]

You will love it! So much freedom and flexibility. I loved using iMessage on Macbook Pro, until it died and I didn't want to pay APPLE TAX to get a new one. Web messaging is awesome if you spend your day on the computer. Ability to expand storage via microSD is a huge plus.
As for Samsung S10+, I have AT&T version, so much bloatware. I ended up buying Package Disabler Pro to disable some stuff (use at your own risk). SoftKey Edge is kind of useful, at least for me. I also use UAG case. Used them for years, never disappointed.

Can't wait to get it! I'm really excited, I'll be sure to checkout the web messaging, is that like PushBullet? Thanks for the tips

I would check out the bixby routines which are really powerful. You can automate certain phone functions (gps/data/wifi/media volume/apps autostarting) depending on different triggers.
Also, check out BxActions which can remap the bixby button to 3 different apps/shortcuts: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.bxactions&hl=nl
Other apps I like:
- Adguard (paid) which blocks ALL ads in apps and in the browser
- AccuBattery
- Join (to move files, clipboard contents, urls from pc to phone(s)/tablets)
- Nights Keeper (free/paid), you can use this app to set daily schedules for the sound to turn of/on depending on the time.
It can also disable wifi/gps/data if you keep your phone next to your bed
- Nova Launcher (free/paid) -> extremely configurable
- One Hand Operation app from Samsung
- Wallpaper Changer -> point to an album of wallpapers and it will change them when you want
- Swiftkey -> the best keyboard in my opinion if you want to use several languages without having to switch
- Swifi -> Force your phone to switch to a stronger wifi signal in your house (when having multiple AP's)
- Android Auto (if you have a car that supports it)
- SeriesGuide (if you watch a lot of tv shows)
- Solid Explorer (paid) my favorite File manager
- Google Keep for notes, lists etc
- Youtube Vanced (blocked ads, background play, black theme)

This is one of the reasons why I love the forum, you guys are the best! I'll definately check those apps, that is a huge list, very useful Gracias!

The camera is fine, for my use better than the iPhone X but not as crisp as the Pixel 3XL. I find that shooting in Pro Mode results in better photos. I save some basic presets and it's basically point-and-shoot.

Care to share tips on presets? I've never really had a pro mode in a camera before so all new to me.

Oppo Reno 10x Zoom - Indian variant

Just received my Oppo reno 10x zoom(indian variant)
Hit me up if u guys have any question regarding India specific unit.
I just got my RENO 10X Zoom and don't know how to disable all notifications from the lockscreen, I have gone to settings and have already clicked on do not show on lockscreen. It seems that you have to go to each app and disable the lockscreen notifications.
Is there a way or an app that I can install and disable all notification from lock screen at once.

Just switch to a different theme downloaded from theme store.
Do you know how can we change the icon in default launcher?
Also, I could find a way to change the number of apps in a row in App Drawer?
Coming from OnePlus, I strongly feel that Color OS is a disappointment when we compare it to Oxygen OS.

The only way to change icons is to change theme.
There is no way to just change the icons.

Hi, congrats on your new mobile.
About the dual speakers...
1. How is the quality?
2. Are they really dual(like in S10, Xs etc) or fake dual( like in PocoF1, Zenfone 5z etc)?
3. Can you compare their loudness and quality to any other device for reference?
Thanks

Congrats! I have this targeted as a potential contender for my next phone. I have a few questions please,
1. The volume/side button wobbly issue on the Indian model?
2. How good is the rear camera, flagship levels (like S10/Pixel)? Or at least close?
3. From the reviews, the front camera images looked too bright and kinda washed out. with less details. Is it still the same? Any improvement with any update?
4. How bad is Color OS? Any comparisons? (I am used to samsung S7's os and pure android, will Color OS be tolerable? Does it have good features?)

1 . my phone volume key is not wobbly.
2. i neither own a s10 nor pixel(so cant help u with that), pics are comparable to oneplus 7 pro.
3. Front camera is great, no issue in detailing.
4. Color Os is pretty bad. Again i have never owned a Samsung device, though i have owned pure android phones.It is far from Pure android. It is pretty similar to Vivo/Xiaomi/Huawei phone os.

Are you sure that your volume keys and power button doesn't move when you slide your finger on them...I have asked many people and all of them have the same quality.

The keys on my phone are wobbly too but I don't think it'll be a problem.
Btw are you guys using the case that came in the box? I find it very ugly. I use skins in all my phones but can't seem to find one for the reno yet. Also, is everyone still using the pre-applied screen protector? Mine already caught a lot of dust. If someone has installed a different one kindly share the link.

Hello! Congratulations on your purchase. I hope to follow your footsteps but do have a few questions if you dont mind.
1. Do notifications come through well?
2. Do the notifications show on the status bar up top?
3. Off screen clock or always on display, does it show 3rd party apps notification?
4. How is the video quality? I saw a couple videos from this one channel on youtube and his video from Oppo 10x zoom looked very washed out. Do you have the washed out look when taking videos?
I thank you so much in advanced for your help!!
Just one question.. Is the color os that bad of a deal breaker? I was thinking of buying either the 10x zoom or the black shark 2.. Both have pretty much same specs and all and I am a bit leaned towards the oppo one.. But I just want to know how bad colos os actually is.. and what makes it so bad
Thanks

Will applying a different theme have an impact on the notifications shown on lockscreen?
I think it is a bug in colorOS as it doesn't let you disable all lockscreen notifications at once. The option is there but it doesn't work.

If these 2 phones are ur options, they unless until ur a gamer, u should go for oppo reno.
And even if u are a gamer, wait and buy nubia red magic.
Blackshark is just bad.

1. Color os is aggressive, so its known to kill background apps. U will have to select apps u want to allow in background for notifications.
2. if u mean app symbol at top, then it shows.
3 video quality is okayish at best. they need to update it. stabilization is good thought.

1. Notification works just fine if you don't enable 'Super high power efficiency ' ON. For me all app sends notification without doing anything.

Thanks @Dooomlord and @mohitgalaxy3 !!!
Could you guys comment on the always on display or screen off clock please? Do they show notifications icons as well as the 3rd party app notifications?
Thanks again for your answers!
No, they don't show any 3rd party notifications.
By default, you can see only the fingerprint location. You can enable the clock, that's it.

The phone itself is really good but the software just sucks!
