Some a number of things I'd like to share - After numerous replacements for partially pink or green screens I finally received one that was uniform in color. I mean no screens perfectly uniform in hue, but picking out any color discrepancies would take a lot of effort to see instead of being...

Huh. It's usually the opposite for me. Less noticeable with higher brightness. I used to be a big fan of AMOLED. Not any more I guess. If I could take the display off my Nexus 9 and shrink it onto the 6P I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Anywhere from 10/30 to 11/21. It wasn't like the new ones were better in any way. I was suggesting that at best only 5% of 6Ps have a uniform or close to uniform screen. But that was only a guess. I wouldn't expect screen uniformity to improve in later manufacturing dates. This isn't really a...

Still new. Although I think google will always send new if you return/replace within the 14 day no-questions asked return window. After 14 days they can send refurbs. Don't quote me on that. They do send you the new one first and then expect the old back. You could send either back, but if you...

Because it is. I have a S6 edge. It's just a better display. Also, I know from the S6 edge there was a similar issue with partially pink displays. I had to return one (or maybe 2?) before receiving a good, uniform display. I've also looked into the S6 edge plus and Note 5 forums. Comparatively...

This is so tiring. Clearly second rate displays. Gone through a few RMAs. I should give up, but I really don't want to. I really do like the phone. I mean am I crazy for not being okay with this? Pretty much how they all have been. Some left right, some bottom top, some top bottom... sigh. BTW...

Not saying otherwise. I said that Huawei should be checking them and sending back crappy panels. Still doesn't excuse Samsung for continuing to produce and use/sell bad panels and trying to pass them off as fine. This issue has gone back to the S4. Not even a joke. I had to return 1 or two S4s...

Everyone is being harsh on Google and Huawei, but let's not forget it's Samsung shipping these "approved" panels to Huawei for phones. Some tint issues are due to manufacturing where the screen doesn't lay flat (Huawei's fault), but I think most is due to the the panels having inherent...

These are just Note 4 displays. The measured power efficiency of the display according to an andandtech reviewer is within margin of error of the Note 4's screen. Like 4.5% better. Something like 15+% more power hungry than the panel in the Note 5. I have an s6 edge to sell. Also a Galaxy S4 as...

Hey flar2 any chance you know whether the battery life dependant throttling is part of the kernel or the OS? Basically at some battery percentage the 6P becomes more and more likely to turn off A57 cores. Under 20% I see the 810 occasionally be limited to 2 A57 cores, under 15% I see them all...

I think the simplest answer is that the 6P is using the same technology and process and the Galaxy S6 - and not the Note 5. This would explain why people have the said the Note 5 display looks *slightly* better than the 6P, but the differences are minor. Whatever minor improvements Samsung made...

To me the s6 and s6 edge are in a weird position because of the *relatively* small battery size and stupidly efficient hardware (other than the radios it seems). Using the phone hardly impacts the rate of battery decline. In different days I can get 2 hours of screen on time or 6 hours of screen...

Could someone else confirm neither a76 nor a77 work with stock 5.1.1?

Thanks. I got to your edit link eventually from the original :) Strange though. From what I can tell it just has to do with the compile date... unless I'm missing something. For whatever reason if the kernel has a compilation date before 5/12 CM12.1's systemUI crashes. I really hope this is...

Try a76

Fastboot flash recovery twrpfile.img Boot immediately into recovery straight from fastboot -> hboot -> recovery. This will automatically remove the auto-recovery restore from the stock ROM. From twrp reboot into system. It will prompt you to install supersu. Do it. Go into play store and...

Surprising. Mine runs much cooler while charging and playing heavy games (only time I could really get it hot before) Kernel sources show a new adaptive thermal "skin" governor. Whatever that means. Thermals now take CPU and GPU temperature into account. I guess they didn't before for some...

Did M-kernel ever work for you before? Because I tested a77 on chroma and it worked fine for me.

I wouldn't use a77 on cm12.1. I removed some cm specific ramdisk stuff from a76 to allow it to boot on non-cm ROMs. Frankly I'm surprised CM12.1 even boots on a77. Well I guess you could keep running a77 on CM and let me know if you run into any problems. That would be helpful :)

Try this if a76 didn't work for you https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952601904

Sorry I was on vacation in Europe. Not much internet access. I honestly haven't been able to look at it yet. Will try to soon.

Greener tinted displays never flickerered. The warmer (in comparison) displays flickered, but the frequency varied device to device. However, the warmer displays also had significantly less backlight bleed and seemed more color/whites accurate overall though. Greener display seemed a bit sharper...

I've gone through a lot of Nexus 9s. The answer for me is "maybe". Newer sand models are like a completely different tablet. They run cooler. There is essentially no backlight bleed. The back plates are now glued on so no more bouncy center or creaking . I don't have any lag and performance is...

Try adding a minimum freq lock when audio is playing. I had to do that with the nexus 7 kernel as using any governor less agressive/rampy than the tegra interactive with stock settinga led to audio stuttering. Had to lock min freq to one frequency slot higher than the stock minimum when the...

Hey USBHost how sure are you with this commit? https://github.com/USBhost/Fire-Ice/commit/d6e261d01628ffa8486ee13b7c6414bee7c9d141 I could be wrong, but it seems like a really, really, really bad idea to try to force a 2amp charge speed by increasing the minimum charge rate to 2000mah. I'm...

I'm on f2fs for everything but system and it works fine

Zombie Nexus 7 is now back from the grave. Had to charge the battery through my older nexus 7 with the cracked display. Didn't even know I still had it. I can confirm that a75 boots on 5.1 at this point. That's about all I've tested so far. The 2012 N7 is just a chore to use to be honest. My...

Unfortunately this trick doesn't work. Tried that first. This problem was supposed to be fixed with one of the newer bootloaders so I'm not sure what's going on.

My nexus 7 won't charge. Been dead a while. I thought this issue had been fixed. Hard to test 5.1 kernel without power :/

The usb host patches weren't updated past 4.2 or 4.4 I think. I don't have the expertise to rewrite them. Too bad as they were pretty cool. Fast charging has never worked. At least I've never seen it working. I spent a lot of time trying but to no avail. I know its not my computer as i can get...

Yep. A decent amount of changes to the kernel - https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/tegra/+log/android-tegra3-grouper-3.1-lollipop-mr1 Need to check ramdisk too.

I'm on f2fs for everything but system. It should work for system f2fs though. It might be an incompatibility with the CM ramdisk stuff I incorporated and Slim. If I can get another user to confirm I can check out the Slim ramdisk and see if there's something missing.

Should be fixed now in a74. Seems to work for me. Meant to edit, self quoted instead. Oh well. It's not crazy to talk to yourself right? Yeah you're right. Am I? Yes.

There's something strange going on with a73 + lollipop + trickstermod. Other kernel tweaking apps seem to work fine. I'm not sure what the issue is at the moment. I'm not going to take down my recommendation for trickstermod for now. It's still free and still supports all of the m-kernel...

And by last weekend I meant this weekend. I didn't forget (sort of)! I just have to charge the ol' N7 up first. Poor 2012 N7 doesn't get much love since the Nexus 9 showed up. (Make that 5 Nexus 9s... took a while to get a decent one:rolleyes: basically had to wait for the sand model to come...

The N9 is an interesting device when it comes to battery life. I have to say the power efficiency of this display is astounding. I can easily get over 10 hours SOT easy if I'm using it for reading PDFs, papers, books, or comics. Considering how bright this display gets I really am blown away...

This really is amazing. I just did it on mine. Really really simple fix. Unbelievably simple. I didn't even have to pull the whole back off. Just the top and sides were enough. 3 layers of paper under each button and they are now perfect. Thank you!

I finally got my replacement sand and I'm happy to say.... It's a winner :D :good: :highfive: :victory: :laugh: It took four October-November Whites from amazon and two sands from google play, but I finally have one I can live with. Like the first sand model, and in contrast with all four white...

Sure. I'll take a look this weekend.

I don't know. Maybe. Still debating returning this one for now. Need to get one I'm happy with first.

Yes mine has a good amount of light bleed. Its not very bright, but it extends very far into the display. Kind of a large yellow glow. One spot is bright and blue though.

I can directly compare with an iPad3 and an iPad Air 1. The iPad 3 has some yellow leakage in the bottom corners and one very mild spot near the volume buttons, but it's mild compared to the Nexus 9. The iPad Air has a soft, light, and thin white-blue glow around the entire display. Essentially...

Great

I just got my sand 32GB. HC4V. Horrible light bleed. One of the worst I've seen About a third the screen is a nice yellow while displaying black. Two bad spots that spread far into the display. Pretty ugly looking. Buttons are all clicky which is nice. The power button is flush, and hard to...

I'm thinking I'll just reorder. I guess they can't stop me from buying again *shrug*. Unfortunately that would mean I'd be $840 in the hole for this tablet for a while until they process the returns. The big issue is that Amazon appears to have a HUGE stock of very early October models. (Funny...

Well Amazon finally cut me off at 4 :crying:. Maybe its for the best since it seemed they only had early October models with a ton of issues. I don't really want to buy it from somewhere else though since it's 10% off on Amazon and I get prime shipping. Don't like the idea of waiting 5-7 days...

Sending tablet number 4 back. Early October again. It seems Amazon only has early October devices available for replacement. This one had 2 very bright stuck pixels and flush volume up that didn't click and hard to press. How fun! Back to back stuck pixels and broken buttons! At least the...

I purchased the Moko Ultra-Slim case. I like it a lot. It is indeed very slim for what is essentially full device coverage. Contrary to what people have said before, mine does not have a "vice-like death-grip" on the tablet. It's doesn't affect light bleed at all However, I didn't get one of...
