Led Notification - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

So friends ... I bought the Galaxy A7 2017 and the smartphone is amazing ... the only thing I miss is a better notification system with the screen locked. So I thought it would be amazing if the light of the physical buttons worked as a notification led. Can anyone develop?

Yes I want it too [emoji1] [emoji1]

For that we need a custom kernel with BLN support

oneplus 3 after note 7

All,
So my Note 7 has gone back and i now have a oneplus 3.
I am currently on stock Oneplus Fw 3.2.7.
There are a couple of things i don't like - the contacts and phone dialler screens are bloody awful - especially the contacts WTF.
With Samsung there is so much more detail on these screens and it is useful. Also there is no call or message blocking which again I use.
What 3rd party ROM would offer these features rather than loading App's
I did the same thing, moving from note 7 to Oneplus 3. Flashed resurrection remix on the first day and haven't looked back. It's got call blocking and a bunch of other nice features that the Note 7 didn't.

How does the screen of the one plus three compare to the note 7?

They're both Samsung AMOLED screens but the note 7 screen is QHD while the OnePlus 3 is 1080p (mostly noticeably side by side or if using VR).
Also, Samsung tends to keep the brightest AMOLED displays for themselves so the note 7 likely has a much higher top max brightness level.

Screen is not comparable in my opinion...Used Note 4, 5, 7 and currently OP 3...Note 5 and Note 7 screens are way better...Auto brightness in OP 3 is little cranky and makes it dull...but performance and dev support of OP 3 is amazing...eagerly waiting for Note 8 which is an year away
The Oneplus 3 screen is good, not as good as the Note 7, but that's to be expected really.

Me too.. I have moved on from my note 7 and now using oneplus 3.. The thing I dun like is why the ringtones and notifications sound are link together.. Is the anyway that I can unlink it? I heard xposed unlink ringtones and notification sound is not working for oneplus 3.. I'm currently using firmware 3.27...

Some custom ROMs like Resurrection Remix I guess has this setting...
Flashed resurrection remix as soon as I got it. I don't think I'd like it nearly as much if I couldn't run some variant of Cyanogenmod on it.

I am using the True phone dialer which is pretty customizable and UI is friendly as well. Just 1 point is that the app is only free for first 7 days....
Isn't the google dialler available for download? I picked up the apk from somewhere a couple of months ago. Doesn't this identify the caller/spam?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer&hl=en_GB
Need the apk as this doesn't work on the OP3

A5,A7 (2017) Multi-touch

Helo everyone
i want more info regarding multi-touch in A5 and A7 (2017), tried looking on internet and didnt really find the answer yet
i tested A3 and it only have 5points multi-touch, i want to know whether A5 & A7 also get same 5points multi-touch or 10points multi-touch
iirc A5 (2016) have 10 point multi-touch, i know 10 point multi-touch is more likely useless anyway
but well its good to have more than needed
hope someone can share some info regarding this
thanks in advance
The max for my a5 2017 is just 5 fingers. Would've been better if it's more than that.
5 fingertouch according to me is more than enough.
I mean who would want to put all of their fingers in operating a phone? And how is the person going to hold the phone then.

well indeed most of the time and for most people 5 multi-touch is more than enough
i am not complaining about it either
but again most samsung mid to high model been always using 10 multi-touch
cmiiw A5 2016 also got 10 multi-touch
well its quite likely such this is where samsung save cost for the premium look that A 2017 series got
For me A720F support 10 fingers
How do we test the multi touch? I have the A7 2017. I'll try it for you.

it simply put your finger on display, if it capable 10, then it showing 10point
if only 5, then when u put 6th finger on display, it wont register/show up or other finger jumped to 6th finger ( only showing 5point)

Strangely I don't think there is an app listed for it but there is an icon on the pull down quick settings. Run it from there and it should load. You have to have headphones plugged in for it to work.
You're right, it works.

I haven't noticed this problem. I don't play games so I'm not sure how well it works with them but mine works fine with browsing and other apps.
6:25 of mostly youtube and chrome browsing, bluetooth is always on paired to my smartwatch, as well as wifi and 4G.

Are you a former A1 user and now using the A2?

Hi,
As I consider to purchase an A2 and I wonder which pros and cons there are from the perspective of a former A1 user.
Which are the improvements?
Which are the disappointments coming from an A1?
Thank you very much in advance

I had A1 before A2 lite. Here are pros and cons for A2 lite. I got A2 lite only because of size and smaller bezels, but i hope to upgrade to MI 9 SE if it'll have global launch.
Pros:
- larger display size
- smaller bezels
- smaller device size
- larger battery
Cons:
- micro USB
- almost none custom ROM development

Yes, it gives you more mileage, but i think that full potential will be seen after we'll have custom ROMs.
Also i forgot to mention one more con: notch is sometimes annoying because when you have multiple icons/notifications in status bar it changes it to one dot because it doesn't have enough space for all icons and it's annoying when it does it almost every second for some period of time (because of network changes arrow or other changes). I don't know if you know what i'm talking about

Oh indeed, I can imagine that the small notification area is annoying.
It looks as If I keep my A1.
How do the cameras compare?
Thanks again!

I don't use camera very often and when i do i use stock camera app. So i can't compare picture quality. On A1 i used gcam but as far i can see there isn't fully working gcam for Pie roms, so i'm too lazy to search for the best working cam app.

Here's another one.
That's why I never upgraded my A1 since Fall '18. Too lazy to sort this Pie stuff w/ GCAM which is a must compared to the crappy X stock cam app.
Missing the FM radio app though.
Today the A2 lite arrived. Liked on first glance but Pie is not my piece of cake.
I still miss the old HTC UI as it was on my HTC M7.
(Reminds me a little about how I felt when Windows became unavoidable after having used Apple ][ DOS, CPM, MS-DOS. )
Damned I sound like my lovely grandmother!

I upgraded A1 to pie but i can't remember what i did with gcam :silly: and soon i bought a2 lite.
i think that stock aosp still doesn't have enough features like custom roms, aosp like lineage os would be great :laugh: and now miui looks very good, they have almost all aosp features + xiaomi ones
mi a2 lite would be perfect if they put features like amoled screen, nfc, usb type c. i was happy when mi8 se launched, but was very dissapointed when they annouced it will be only for china. so now i'm hoping mi9 se will be available for global market.
hahaha games for dos were dope.

D-Load a version of the Stock ROM ( 9.5.17.0 if you can... ) transfer it from you computer and flash it..
reboot phone to twrp mode and make a backup of your data if u want data not to be lost.
flash your custom rom,and again go to twrp mode and restore your data excluding(system) and reboot the device.
try it,it worked for me without loss of data.

Hey S.S...
Not 30 Minutes Ago I pulled the trigger on the Samsung Galaxy A70.
It's only about 6mm taller than the XRN5.. but, packs a 6.7 inch SuperAmoled Display that is simply Incredible.
Samsung's OneUI coupled with a Samsung app called Good Lock.. gives you almost endless tweaks without root access.
The Snapdragon 675 / Adreno 512 SoC along with Samsung Pay having NFC and MST capabilities and 6 GB of Ram / 128 GB of Storage sealed the deal..
Honorable Mention To:
The Redmi K20 Pro
The Asus Zen 6
The OnePlus 7
A little more expensive.. faster.. but not as feature rich as the Galaxy A70..
I'll Stay In Touch.. You've Done A Fantastic Job Helping So Many With The XRN5... Keep It Up Boss! :good:

I just seen that Dark Mode has been implemented..
That's cool.. I've always used Xiaomi's Theme Store.. And I LOVE Dark Themes.. but it's nice for those that like to go from light to dark depending on the time of day.
And Yes.. I've so missed Amoled Displays.. I had a Note 4.. and would STILL be using it if I did not Cheap Out and buy a dang $1.00 car charger & cable..
It burned my Note 4 out! That's been almost 3 years ago... So, I can't wait to fire that puppy up for the 1st time and see 6.7 inches of pure black heaven.. :highfive:

Nothing personally and totally nothing against you, but I'm curious since I never asked that someone, why a new mobile phone after just 1 year? Since I'm used to have a single phone for 2 - 3 years.

Hi There X..
I think.. if you ask 10 different people.. you'd get 10 different answers..
In my case, Having the Note 5 Pro "Rooted-Stock" has been pretty much perfect. 100% Stable & Fast with Nova Prime and Animations at 0.5.. Viper sounds great.. Quickboot works like a charm.. And Greenify rounds out the reasons that I rooted the stock O.S.
So Why Move On From What Seems Like A Perfect Fit?
1st) Samsung SuperAmoled Displays.. ( My New Device Has A 6.7 inch Screen )
2nd) Samsung Pay (NFC / MST Technology Works ANYWHERE a Debit / Credit Card is accepted ) Google Pay.. Not.
3rd) Samsung OneUI ( In conjunction with an app called Good Lock ) provides Endless System Tweaks without root.
4th) Samsung 's AR Emoji's!!! ( Super Fun To Play With! )
5th) Samsung's Bezel- Less Design..( I'm cool with the Infinity U-Notch.. and you can hide it )
6th) I recently purchase a new Camry.. with Scoutlink Technology.. Toyota doesn't acknowledge Xiaomi devices at all... The Salesperson and I Brought a OnePlus 7 Pro out of a T-Mobile store to see if the Camry software would acknowledge the connection.. No Problem it linked to the OnePlus 7 Pro instantly.. as did a $100.00 Samsung J3 Prime device... Toyota Simply Does Not Acknowledge Xiaomi..
Well.. I think that pretty much sums up my thought process..
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro wins a lot of battle's..
But The Samsung A70 Knows How To Win The War.

Okay that makes Sense. I'm totally different
1. The 6 Inch Screen is totally okay for me and I prefer IPS LCD More. (Sounds maybe weird, but yeah xD)
2. Never used any of the paying technologies, never used NFC on any phone at all and I not really feel like I need it, I still prefer paying with real money that I can hold in my hand, oldschool, but that's how I am xD
3. I'm really in love with MIUI meanwhile and since the S4 I never used Samsung ever again. But yeah the settings I can manage on MIUI are more than enough for me. (I use my phone unrooted since I not like Magisk and I never unlocked it, all offical still and pure Stock since over 7 months, now on offical MIUI Pie
4. Not really Something I personally need ?
5. Even if you can hide it, I hate all types of Notches and avoid every phone that has it and it doesn't matter for me if it's bezel-less or not, so long the phone fits my needs.
7. Cannot say anything to that, since I don't own a car, I don't even have a Driver license with 29 xD Cause here in Berlin/Germany I not really need it since I get everywhere in Berlin just by bus and train really cheap per month.
So as you see, my Points are totally different and as you maybe see I will take good care of my Redmi Note 5 so long as possible. ? And you take good care of your new phone.
