I have a Poco phone f1 global version. I do not experience any issues with typing even when I try to type as fast as I can. On pubg, I get an issue where there is a slight input lag when I first place my finger down, but once my finger is down my screen rotates smoothly. Doesn't seem to make a...

Set notifications importance priority to high. For some reason WhatsApp has a bug where if you set priority lower than high it will default back to urgent ---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ---------- Then, to mute sounds, set the ringtone to Silent.

Ok. Fine then, there is more black crush in the s9+ compared to other AMOLED phones. My experience with Screen Balance is that when applied properly, I can minimise black crush while still retaining true black level (I.e. if the screen crushes greys from level 1 to 5, you can apply screen...

I don't know, it's probably still there just that maybe it's less obvious. Or a placebo effect. My s7 edge suffers from it too if I look hard enough. And some claim their new units are "improved" then few hours later realise that the issue is still there. AMOLEDs have other defects too anyway...

True blacks is not compromised if you set screen balance sparingly. ---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ---------- No one has conclusively proven that the issue has been solved. I think it's an inherent issue in all AMOLEDs, so no.

Hi Toss3, I'll update with your screenshots soon. Someone mentioned Black Panther at 0:44. Mine looks okay as far as I can tell: Someone also mentioned the cross with the glow. Here's my comparison, S9+ at top, S7edge at bottom. The 'olive green' appears on my S7edge instead. Here's the...

Give me the exact timings and I'll test it for you. ---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ---------- Here's a video I took with the S9+ on top and the S7 edge at the bottom with my Sony A6500 camera. Room was virtually dark (only some light shining in from...

Mine is the opposite of yours, lol. My S9+ suffers more black crush but less green mess than my S7 edge.

the glowing blob is supposed to be there... The said picture is a photograph of the glowing blob issue on a Sony television if I'm not wrong.

The telephoto camera is configured to only work in bright sunlight. Which is annoying.

Yes same as you on my s7 edge Vs s9+ too so I was reluctant to believe, until I hooked the s9+ up to my monitor. Too bad my s7e doesn't support MHL so no way to test. I suspect netflix is loading a different version of the video to the s9+ Vs s7e. Maybe has to do with hdr support or something...

I think netflix's compression may have something to do with it. Netflix's compression removes detail from shadow areas. I tried Friends in College episode 5 and it was terrible too. Then I hooked up the phone to a monitor and realised netflix or the phone's display driver was the main culprit...

Hi Toss3, still waiting for your video so I can do some tests myself. Anyway, earlier in this thread, there was an example showing a white cross with a minor white glow against a black background that looks like crap on the S9+. Indeed, it does look bad with the black crushing and black...

What are the exact seconds where this phenomenon is most apparent? Maybe we could all do a test to compare.

Yes I do believe I have the issue just that I struggle to see it the way it is. In any case I think this can be resolved via a software fix through the screen balance app. But this thread also brings up another issue which has to with the banding of colours which is not resolved by the screen...

Sorry for the lack of clarification. Mine is the S9+ (sorry, in my mind, the S9 doesn't even exist :)). I can notice the black crushing in the Display Tester app and gradient banding with the wallpapers but cannot meaningfully (to an obvious degree) notice the effect in my videos (yes, when...

I'm not legally blind but honestly I don't spot any differences in the Blank Panther trailer between my s9 and s7edge. Not sure if two different phones will load up the video with varying types of compression? My s7 edge has a slight black crush. But even then I find the output video acceptable.

Just a quick survey here to examine the quality of the s9+'s screen. I created the following PNG files with screen balance at 2%: 1. Open Https://www.describee.com/b.png in a dark room with brightness set to max and tell me which squares you can't see. 2. Then open...

Netflix has some weird compression issue on certain HD videos that manifests on the s9 but not s7 edge. Verified this by hooking up my s9 to an LCD monitor. May have to do with 4K or HDR. Not sure. To be honest, on YouTube and unaffected Netflix videos (such as stranger things or friends), I...

I have 2 S9+s at home (the other belongs to my sister) so I did the Display Tester test on her phone too. At 30% and 100% brightness, square 7 and 4 are very visible on her phone respectively. Meanwhile, on mine, square 7 is barely visible at 30% and I cannot see square 4 at all, even at 100%...

The flickering on YouTube is a bug with YouTube and has to do with the ambient light sensor. In daylight you should not see any flickering. And yes, this is one of those issues where when you start noticing it you can never unnotice...

Sorry guys, I realise that Imgur compresses the image such that you see extra squares. To replicate the test properly, can you download Display tester from the play store, run the banding test and swipe left twice until you see the black saturation test? Then use the in built brightness slider...

Interesting. 4 and 3 should be pretty good numbers ---------- Post added at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ---------- Can you try my display test and tell me which squares you are not able to see? Mine is completely black at 7 and 4 respectively at 30 and 100 brightness

Just wondering if you guys could help with a simple test: Let me know which squares you see are completely black, at 30 and 100 percent brightness. Mine is completely black at 7 and 4 respectively.

What brightness setting are you using? At minimal brightness I can't even see **** on the screen (basically any darker region is black) even in absolute darkness. Then at higher brightness the issue is gone. So...

I suspect it could be software too. I went to over ten stores yesterday and could not reproduce the issue on the s9+, even though when placing my phone side by side I could still clearly see the gradient. Will go back and check out the build versions. ---------- Post added at 02:27 AM...

You are correct. I tried a completely dark room but still couldn't replicate though. But the banding issue appears for me even in high ambient lighting in basic mode. But the retail units dont have this issue.

I cannot reproduce this on the Black Panther trailer. Tests conducted in a dark area (i.e. under my table), taken with a Sony A6500 camera at ISO 6400 (hence it looks 'bright') S9+ (top) vs S7 edge (bottom): Min brightness Max brightness Others (can't remember the brightness settings)...

It's blocky because the wallpaper gradient is blocky. I downloaded the PNG from Sammobile and loaded it on the s7 edge with the same results. I have tried loading Daredevil on Netflix (supposedly HDR) and have struggled to tell a difference between my s7e and s9+ at Min brightness and video...

Is there a sample free video where this issue can be reproduced? I am not having any such issues on s9+ exynos at minimum brightness in a dark room..

I notice that in the Messages app, when receiving messages from a sender that has no number (typically OTPs from bank), when long pressing the message I am only able to delete it or view message details. Has anyone else experienced this too? Seems like a bug to me since my s7 was able to copy...

My fg assoc writes 101 and fullcapnom is 3340. Is my battery somehow larger than 3500?

Well, so far it has held up just fine. I mean, it's not to be wrapped around your hand and spun around, but for normal one handed use it works just fine.

I was inspired by the NinjaLoop idea and decided that hey, I could DIY one myself. So I went to the store and got some tiny elastic bands, and rolled it up against my Tough Armor case. I looped it over the case twice and didn't even need to use any double sided tape to hold it in place. Since...

Today, I tried the Spigen tough armor. Was told by a mobile shop that this is compatible with whitestone and was a little sceptical. To my surprise, it really is a sliver less thick towards the top and bottom as compared to the slim armor such that it works fine!

My Galaxy S9+ came with a free Samsung Wireless Charger Stand, the new version that has a USB-C port in place of the microUSB port (note: it is not the convertible version that was released last year). However, I notice that it is notoriously picky with my QC3.0 chargers. So far, it can only...

No issue here with s9+ 256gb Singapore with finger gestures enabled

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't quite like the Neo hybrid series. Prefer something with a hard back. Used an ultra hybrid for my s7 previously but it turned yellow easily. Might consider cutting a little bit of the silicon on the slim armor instead...

How is touch sensitivity with this protector? Do you need to increased touch sensitivity in the settings to use it well?

Bought the Whitestone Dome protector after hearing rave reviews about it. Paired it with the Spigen slim armor in all black, which is probably the most beautiful Spigen case in years. Unfortunately, after a few hours I notice "spider cracks" forming at the bottom edge, and this morning a couple...

I have two sets, one is 8 and one is 6. However, CPU on the 8 is 12/11 and the one on the 6 is 9/8.

Do you guys have Lifelog installed on your phone? I had the same issue with Lifelog installed. Battery would drain about 6-7% per hour. Once uninstalled I am back to 2 day battery life. There seems to be some issue with Lifelog in the latest update.

I was one of the more vocal users back when this thread was started. I've been living with my S6 for nine months now, and over time I don't really notice it anymore. Sure, it will never be a perfect screen, but in daily use it works well. Thus, I would encourage you guys to actually use your...

Had this issue with both my S6 and S4. I have to keep waving my phone like a mad man in order to get it to calibrate.

Just came back from a trip to Italy, and was using the Mi 4i for my whole trip. Switched back to the S6 when I came back, and still see the tint. But now I've adopted a live and let live attitude. Too tired of changing. The S6 does everything I need it to do anyway, so I'll just stick with...

Wow. For mine they gave me a firmware update that claimed it solved the issue... Laughable.

It's luck of the draw sometimes. Some screens are more yellow and some are more red. Anyway, I have had my current S6 for a month+ now, and while in portrait mode the pink can't really be seen, in landscape I can see it quite clearly. Over the past few days, I've been doing this overnight: -...

Yep, it's there on the Sony as well (as proven from the contrasted photos), but it seems that the Samsung shows it more. Perhaps different tone curve, or different noise characteristics.
