Does it really work? Anyone tried?

Let's be serious ... i saw ducks barking and dogs were whistling ... :cyclops: :cyclops:

Picture Quality?

For you lucky people that already have their precious ONEs, can you give us some feed back on how the camera is performing and how pictures look when sending it thru mms on the other end? Just very curious on knowing how pics look with this 4megapix technology on other devices. Thanks..
I went to my local store in Arlington Texas and they had 3 on display (wouldn't let me walk out with one) and I took a couple snapshots and was impressed with the clarity. Right now I use an iPhone 5. The device is just beautiful but I did notice the gap issue and it didn't get hot but definitely was warm after 15 min of use. A case should nullify that but I'm not sure how it will effect the processor after 20 months.

I think its just because its plugged into a power supply. Same thing happens to my s3 when I use it while I'm charging it.
I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.
As the reviews say, the low light is beyond belief. It's such a difference in color and image quality. My other phone is a note 2 so that's been my main side by side comparison. The difference is to the point of some pictures from the note 2 look blacked out while the One looks like it was taken in the light. I did the comparisons with flash off.
As far as outdoor pictures there isn't a huge difference between the two. The main difference here is the editing options built into the One. They went all out in this department. You can do so much to improve skintone, face angles, ect.
Zoe is a pretty cool feature as well. I havent mastered it but the way the galleries lay out it makes it an entirely new media experience.
I've gone thru every major device that's been launched over the last two years and can honestly say what HTC has here is a game changer. Every feature revolving around media(camera, sound,ect) is so useable and functional. Nothing I've found so far that's a new feature is a novelty. Everything is something that I find myself using.

well that makes me feel better. I ordered the Case-Mate "tough case" so the warmth shouldnt bother me. Pre ordered and the At&T rep said that I should be receiving it next Friday.
OK so I went to play with the demo at the store today. I was really impressed with the phone. It is definitely thinner than what it looks on pics. Its very fast i couldn't get it to lag on me one bit. The blink feed is definitely something I will be using cause I use flipboard now anyways and its the same idea but looks better and its very well implemented in the phone. And for those that really won't care for it you can just set any other screen as the home screen so it will basically just stay as the last screen on the left. Sound is good but of course you would appreciate it more in a more quite environment. I did notice that the highs come out more on the top speaker than the bottom speaker, guess its for a better balance for listening. I took some pics with the ONE and texted it to myself and it looked just as good as any other pic sent by MMS. I also took a pic with my S3 to compare with the ONE(see on next post). Camera is fast and has awesome editing effects to mess with, you won't need to download too many apps for photo editing with this ONE. Ive read some people complaint about the keyboard but I had no issues with it. Actually its very fast and has the swype ability no lag what's so ever, smooth as butter! Sense has done a beautiful job with adding such nice smoothness and transitions to android. For those of us that have been on Android ever since it came out this phone has definitely brought the smoothness we've been desiring for so long at least for me. The silver color does look nicer than I thought but I think the white strip that goes all around the side of the phone will get dirty over time. The silver looks very sexy but I believe it won't come close to the sexiness of the black ONE
Overall the phone is a dream its simply laid out with a lot of class. After root and the work that our devs do here the phone is just gonna be disgusting!!!

The picture quality is pretty good. I will take some pictures and post tomorrow. Been using this phone for a few days and love it. The "live" gallery is amazing to watch. After taking some pictures of our kids and just watching her face light up as she watched the gallery come alive proved to me how amazing it truly is.
Phone is definitely getting way to warm.

[Q] Overheating

I got the phone form At&t about 3 days ago. The phone is perfect and everything work just fine no lags or anything. and the design is really really nice. However, The device have this overheating when taking picture or when I charge the phone. I know Verizon users have been complaining about the device overheating when playing game. Does anyone else have the same problem or do I need to get a new device since I am still under the 14 days exchange policy?
Mine warms up if I'm taking a lot of pictures. I have also experienced it getting warm playing a few games too.

Being constructed out of aluminum, the more you use it for extended periods of time or have you brightness at higher settings, the more often and much quicker it will heat up. That being said, if your just snapping a few quick pics, or texting a buddy for a few minutes without putting your phone back to sleep and it feels actually hot not just warm, then you might have an issue. It really just depends whether you can live with it or if it's going to be something that will bug you every time you notice it. If the latter of the two is the case then I'd suggest exchanging for a new unit.
Hope this helps^^^^^^
Thanks

I'd like to mention that the aluminum body also makes a nice heat sink. So it doesn't surprise me that you feel the warmth on the body of the phone. Plastic doesn't transfer heat nearly as well.

Yeah I know that. I'm only adding in my experience because I've seen so many people on here saying their M8 never gets hot. It's always going to vary from user to user but I don't want the OP to think he's the only one

One thing I do to save battery (and reduce heat) is Under Clock the kernel.
This device is pretty darn fast, and I don't notice the under clock in every day use!

Visible digitizer grid

Even indoors, if the screen gets hit with direct light, there is a clearly visible crosshatch pattern across the whole display. Anyone else notice this?
Got to say I'm not too impressed with the screen quality. Light bleed, dead pixels and now this. My much cheaper Redmi 1s has none of these issues. Sure, the colours aren't as vibrant but not sure which I'd choose given the choice.
Don't see any of this, perfect picture from every angle and every light condition

If you get direct light on the screen, you don't see the digitizer? I noticed it within a couple mins of using phone and wasn't looking for it. Never seen a digitizer so easily noticeable before.
I don't think its too much to expect at this price a screen without noticeable light bleeding, dead pixels etc. Honestly I think they used the European promotion to shift these phones with slightly subpar displays. Btw, I think you are overrating Sony's screens. They are known for the same issues I noticed on this Honor 7, even on their flagships.
I noticed this also but it happened to me after I removed stock "screen protector" and replaced with Nilkin tempered glass. I quess stock screen protector somehow filtered grid away.

I still have stock screen protector and also see it. I guess its just coincidence you noticed only after installing Nillkin.
I am very critcal when it comes to display, both with computers and smaller screens. Had there been a visible grid on my H7 I would have seen it, no doubt at all. I never could stand the Sony Trinitron support wires at the old CRT monitors, and a lot of people.never saw them!

I noticed it within 5 seconds of taking the phone out of the box when the screen was tilted towards a light bulb. The digitizier of the Honor 7 seems unique in that it's very visible in artificial indoor lighting.

I have several phones and never seen the digitizer except in bright sunlight. With the Honor 7 I noticed it indoors immediately. Even checking side by side now in same conditions, I can't see the digitizer on any of them except the Honor 7. The screen looks like it has a texture to it when light hits it, not like the usual barely noticeable digitizer pattern. I agree that its not really an issue though, more of an observation.
I think honor 7 is one of the best phones I have had for this. I have just spent a few moments trying to see it and can't. I have always been able to see it before. I still have the supplied protector on also, if that makes a difference.

Check indoors at night time. Also at night it is visible with high brightness on white background, it you look closely.
Yes, your right, I can see them too.. But I had to put the display INTO my eyes that I was able to see them.. :silly:

Well.. into your eyes for straight ahead but tilted at light you can see from normal distance. It is minor issue though. I'm more annoyed with my dead pixel
When I saw your post I started looking for it, with different angles, different lights, etc... I can't see it !
I remember that it was sometimes visible on my Galaxy Note 2 and LG G3, but only with intense sunlight so I'll look again on the Honor 7 next summer I guess
I think the general product quality is the main factor, for example, I often see it (even indoors) on my Onda V989, which is a 130$ chinese tablet. (The tablet is great, but the screen has a weak max brightness).

It is very different looking than any other digitizer, so maybe you are looking for the wrong thing. It is not dots, and not a normal digitizer pattern. It looks more like a light texture on the screen. In daylight it creates a rainbow effect.

S9+ screen burn in after 4 days

Hi there. Long story short I've already encounter a "mild" screen burn in on my brand new S9+ I receied last Friday. I say it's mild cause it dissapears after few moments but I'm not happy with that on almost £900 phone. Basically when I use AOD in blue and unlock the device I can see a ghost of the clock burned into my home screen. I reckon it's because it does not moe as much as it used to on my S8. Im attaching a short video but its hard to see in on there. And funny enough all it takes is few minutes for it to show up. Does anyone seen something like that before? My only concern is that if it's doing it already after few days how bad will it be few months in? I've contacted O2 to get it replaced but I hope my next one will be ok.

In my experience, screen "burn in" doesn't go away after a few moments. So if it does, then it's not really burned in, and isn't really screen burn in, yet.

That's why I've called it "mild" burn in. I know it doesn't go away cause I've had it on my previous Galaxy phones near the end of first year. This one does kinda ghost behind. I'm having a door swap this morning so hopefully it was just a case of bad batch. Also I managed to get a better video of what is occuring to my device if anyone is interested

Do you also use AOD? If so hopefully mine was just a bad one-off. The thing is, only few minutes are enough to make it seen. First time I wasn't even looking for it, phone was not moved for about an hour and then when I unlocked it it was pretty much black on white, that bad. A lot worse than on that video. Hope Samsung will notice the problem and make some adjustment to how AOD clock moves around cause it's moving nowhere as much as it did on my S8

Got my replacement device this morning and I can confirm that this one does the same thing for me. The question is, am I really unlucky to get a bad batch or is the problem a lot more widespread on S9+?

This is why I very much dislike AMOLED. Sure, it looks pretty but you have to watch what you display, how long you display it, and the brightness of your screen. The Nexus 6 burned in on me in less than a week and that was the last AMOLED device I owned.
I've been debating on trying the S9+, mostly because it's almost impossible to find a decent device without AMOLED these days. Same with glass builds. Yeah, they look nice but they're fragile and prone to scratching.
Seems like everyone jumped on the AMOLED bandwagon and now the glass build bandwagon. It's looking like the notch is next.
ive read OLED screen will have a tendency "burn in" pixels that are always on. need to keep things moving.

Rule #1 never use white **** on AOD
Rule #2 never use white widget
Rule #3 Use Dark theme
im out
Speaking of dark themes are they ever going to have an entire black scheme, system-wide?
I can understand having white themes for LCD devices but I really miss the system color schemes of the jellybean days.
When the S5 came out, for example, the dialer was so damn bright you could use it for a torch! (flashlight)
Ridiculous.
It.Needs.To.Stop.Now
Also, burn in and persistence are different. With the former being permanent and latter temporary.
Hopefully it's not permanent.
I usually disable AOD anyhow.
It's really dim but I feel safer with it gone.

AOD has been designed to keep shifting the content on screen so that burn-in doesn't happen. Not sure if anyone has noticed but I have noticed it on S7E and S8 so far.

Well so far I'm very impressed with the 8x grate battery life awesome screen performance is lightning not much to grumble at really, my only con was the the fact they used USB 2.0 rather than type C nobody is using USB now and for a 2108 device makes no sense at all I don't think it would of made the device cost more I personally would of paid a extra £10 for type C, but personal preference and not really a deal breaker, I've owned the honor 10 and play and is on par with them at fraction of the cost camera is pretty well on par with honor play also can get some nice shots, some bad as well,
Deff if on a budget of £230 then this is a must to get if want to spend extra £50 then the play isn't bad to if wanted type C that bad,

Yeah i was looking at the honor 10 but went for the 9 as i didn't want a huge screen and it was £100 cheaper , then i realised a 5.1 inch screen and fat thumbs don't go well together lol . Now if only i can come up with a good reason to buy another phone without disturbing the peace in the house :laugh:

Lol I know the feeling, 8x has very minimal bezel and tiny chin also the advantage of no honor logo on front, slightly wider then the honor play so good for movies and vids if wanted slightly narrower then the play would fit the bill but I've big hands so 8x is perfect for me [emoji16]

Doubtful seems to be shadow effect from the black notch you could reduce brightness or tinker with the screen modes see if reduces the shadow from notch maybe but don't think a software fix can help more of a manufacturing flaw or screen quality issue , the 8X max has bad light bleed take a look at frankietech video review on 8x max its not good ,
