Re: got tmobile update

I just tried it and yes, it is frozen in one spot. It also starts out dim and then goes full bright after a minute.

Me too. Damn T-Mobile or Samsung. That was a really stupid thing to 'fix'. I'm turning mine off now. GoreJak, thank you for letting everyone know. You probably saved some people screen burn in. It may be worth your starting a new thread about this so people are aware, or even emailing the folks on AC...

Is screen burn-in a real risk?

Is screen burn-in a real risk?

Generally it only happens on store demo models that have been sitting on the same screen all day. So, theoretically it is possible with this if you have the phone screen off and the secondary display is live and in the same location for a long duration. That's why they had it constantly moving before this update.

I just spoke with a T-Mobile tech, she said there will be another update release. Also she said this latest update was Samsung's. I had turned my AOD off this morning, so....... I guess the waiting game starts.

If I place my phone face down or have it in my pocket the AOD is off. I can see it come back on when I take it out of my pocket or pick it up off the desk.
And it moves on the screen when I pick it back up.

I don't mind. I tried the Always On screen and since it's so useless (other than having a clock there, for which I already have one on my wrist), I turned that off after a few hours. Since it took a while for this bug to 'show up', I'm guessing I'm not the only one that doesn't use it

I think if you disable the Dark Places option (which you have to if you want to use your phone in dark places or inside pouches that cover the sensor, like waterproof ones) that wouldn't work and the screen would still be on, at least in a pocket or bag...not sure if the face-down is using position sensors rather than light ones.

From what I've heard, the next full update deals with camera and fast charging issues.

T-Mobile launches Enhanced Voice Services for clearer, more reliable calls | Android Central

This was posted and from the newsroom link on T-Mobile .. the update has been explained!

The new LG G5, which launched April 1st, is EVS-capable right out of the box. And the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge got EVS through a software update this week. And we’re working towards EVS being available on 7 T-Mobile smartphones by the end of the year.

After this update I can say for sure that my phone is running way smoother and the animations on the edge panel don't lag anymore. Also I think this updated added the ability to share the video clip recorded before the picture if you have motion picture enabled.

Yesterday I had around 29 hours of battery life and still had 22% remaining with 3 hours of SOT. Not a heavy day but great to see that kind of battery life
