Hey all,
I'm liking my Note 7 fine, but I'm not LOVING it, and it comes down to one thing for me: the screen just isn't as vibrant as past phones (Note 5 and S7). It seems that Samsung has dulled it a bit, the colors don't "pop" in that over-saturated way they used to. Playing with the screen modes it seems the Adaptive mode is the most vibrant but even there it's noticeably duller to my eyes. It's by no means a deal-breaker, but it's my one "complaint" at the moment.
Interestingly, activating the video enhancer works wonders - when watching a video! Which is nice... but I want that thing on ALL THE TIME! I actually mentioned this to a Samsung rep in the store the other day and his answer was "well, nobody's complaining about it". Well, nobody BUT ME I guess. And I totally get that some people never liked how artificial the colors used to look on Samsung devices, and it's why the screen modes were always a great thing. I could turn on the mode that made the colors pop while others could leave it off. I just wish I could do that with this phone, but I can't.
I know there's no setting for activating that video enhancer across the board but I'm just throwing it out here in case there's a hack or app or something I'm not aware of... and if not, maybe get some enterprising dev thinking about it For me, it's taking a nearly flawless device and bringing it down just a hair. Not drastically, but a little.

svetius: "jump to your device" -- shouldn't this go above the dropdown so no rollover
Hey I cannot quarrel with the man who brought Youtube embeds within 48 hours or initial request... (btw, am I the only one using it? ... wait, let me answer that: yes. But I like it, so thank you !)
That pair of "quick navigation to your phone" tools at top right has been really great. It's just that enroute to using the text box to type in "desire" I almost always rollover the dropdown which causes an obstruction to my desired objective.
You probably wrestled with this and have reasons for the way you did it. But just in the event you were really really smashed that night and really had no rationale whatsoever and just flipped a coin, are you open to trying to flip the two...
Another unsolicited usability comment in the spirit of improvement. The xda favicon is such a welcome change from the boring vBulletin v, but I find it hard to read.
Did you ever come across how they went about remaking the YouTube favicon to improve its readability? It sounded very esoteric by god it did the job... A reader submitted it -- and YouTube took her up on it, and adopted it:

About the drop down...in the forum redesign we're working on, you must click the drop down to get it to open.
About the fav icon...feel free to make one that is better than the current. All of us are quite pleased by the new icon. It's not perfect, but making a legible 16x16 graphic is very difficult.
Hello.
First of all, sorry for opening a new thread about this, but I need help quick with this watch.
I have bought the MBW-150 classic edition through Ebay, and I just recieved it today. It looks great, but I think mine it has the lcd partially gone. I mean, I have seen in reviews and on Youtube the light that makes the screen and I thought it makes a "strong" light, but mine looks less bright.
Here's a photo of my watch:

}
So, I would like to know if this is the normal light that can do the watch or if it should be brighter, because if that's the case, I'll have to return the watch to the seller, and that's why I ask for quick help.
---------
For example, take a look at this video of the watch:
Here the watch is in a bright room and the light looks "strong", but my watch doesn't look like that...
Help please.
Great, no help...
Well, I think I have found another problem. The watch has been charging the whole night and the indicator looks like in the photo.
Bad luck for me I guess... =___=
It's hard to say from your photo if it is light or not - in the dark I find mine to be brighter than what's on your photo - in the light I find mine to be similar to what yours looks in the photo. Not sure if you took the photo in the dark (presumably without flash) or well lit room. Sorry to hear about the battery problem too.
Unfortunately, they are known for going dim. I've had mine only a few months and I can barely see it in the light.
I have been reading all the Note 7 reviews, and now have come to the conclusion that the display on the Note 7 is worse than of the Note 5, Note 4 and S7 phones, in terms of colour accuracy I mean! I mean why the heck Samsung had to do that? Or I am the only one missing something here? The temp is over 7000K, DeltaE Avg. is now more than twice than of the Note 5, and three times than on the S7 ! One of the main reasons I (and many others I am sure) use a Samsung is because of the colour accurate display! Now if they take that, and it seems like deliberately then what's the freaking point? I was thinking about getting the phone, now I am torn! I still don't get it though!

You didn't copy the full link, thus it is broken. Here's the link:

I have always used galaxy devices on Cinema mode, I am now on Adaptive mode.
The sole point of this topic was about colour accuracy! Those who use Adaptive mode and stuffs use the most saturated settings anyway, you should only care if you use the Basic mode! Of course its the best display, that is all things considered, lower power draw, maximum and minimum brightness level etc., but look the colour accuracy part, even on the DisplayMate review it has gone to Very Good from Note 5's Excellent!
I noticed my device makes audible ticking noises when I shake it, coming from the camera array. When I got into the camera app and switched to the 4x optical zoom wile shaking it, and it stopped for a few seconds and then continued.
Anyone else experiences this issue?

TL;DR: nothing to worry about, it's completely normal, many phone manufacturers and models do the same thing.

Still concerns me since it took me about a month to notice the rattle - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/something-loose-in-camera-area.4380263/

Maybe it took you a month to shake it, when the OIS stops working because you have shaken it to death you'll be able to take solace that it no longer rattles.
We should get a FAQ going that becomes a sticky post, we had this rattle question about a dozen times already.
Then again it's not the users fault, since the new forum UI has become nearly unusable and the search function is nearly useless. It's hard to expect newcomers to sift through half a dozen sites in order to find similar questions.
As I said in my post, I did searches before (and then after) posting and found nothing on the subject. Given my previous phone I really didn't come here often, but with this new baby thought I'd come back.
Now to get back to shaking my flagship phone like a maracas...
Ok before you laugh, have a look about the internet, I was frankly stunned by this old news, as I would have gone all in on a Microsoft/Nokia Feature Phone. I would still drop my Android in a heart beat to have this. As for years I ran an Old Audiovox SMT 5600 WinMo 5 candy bar phone, even with the T9 text it did all I ever wanted phone calls, texts, and music in my pocket. None of the fancy streaming or data collection crap with facebook and it's evil partners
Any way I stray away from the Topic.... Sources for the Microsoft RM-1181/82/83
Windows Central Zac Bowden did a write up of a hands on.....
https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-feature-phone-rm-1182-windows
Nokia Power User also had pics and a write up
RM-1182 was a Microsoft-branded Feature-phone
RM-1182 seems to be a Microsoft-branded Feature-phone
nokiapoweruser.com
A YouTube video of it's startup, prototype password stuff
Then to my surprise a few are in the wild and for sale.....
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295117884704
I would buy one, but I have no idea how much is working, what of the phone works, or how to even start to poke about and look to rip out a rom to see if other newer Hardware in the HMD/Nokia line could be made to run what ever this runs. It comes from China, so I am guessing it will take forever to get one with the world in the state it's in.
In any case just putting it out to see if anyone gets sparked with an itch. I know my itch is sparked and I have no idea how long I can hold off trying to grab one. As I have been thinking of going back to a feature phone for some time as I have no need for all the crap a Smart Phone does, but I am older and not driven by a need for social media junk.
