Check your screen and make sure it is uniform. Lots of Samsung OLEDs have area(s) of pink and areas of yellow/warmer tones. White backgrounds and the WhatsApp chat background are the easiest to test with. No screen will be perfect but make sure yours isn't really bad.

Make sure your Doze is working properly - you should lose less than 5% over night at most. Check all functions (Speakers, bluetooth, headphone jack, make some phone calls, etc.) Get a speed test app to make sure you're getting expected WiFi speeds. Test that both cameras autofocus and the rear flash works.

Get the Zedge app for much better (and louder) ringtones and notification sounds.

Beyond that just enjoy the phone! So many other things are purely personal preference.

How do I test doze? I guess over night?

How do I silent this thing without it going to vibration

You want a free app called Silentmode Onoff. Add it as a widget to your home screen. Tap once for silent with vibrate, again for silent without vibrate and once more for back to normal.

Yup, just leave your phone on your nightstand over night - if you lose more than about 5%, there's something interfering.

Pull down notification panel quick settings and you'll see Do Not Disturb. Play around with it to suit you

Update to the newest version, unlock the bootloader, install twrp, flash pure nexus rom and elemental x kernel! After that you'll be good to go.

Explain how?

I spent a few hours reading but it's all way too hard for a normal person to deal with, way too much to learn.

Do you still get monthly security updates from Google if you do it?

Damn long process lol battery goes down quick with just app switching and messaging

Let your battery charge full and post a screen shot of the battery stats page when it gets really low. We'll try and help identify any issues that may causing battery drain.

How are you liking the device?

Disagree. A rom is not needed.

Rooted with unlocked bootloader is perfectly fine.

Great advice.

OP, if you want to see if Doze is working (even if you lost 3-5% overnight), go to your batter menu and look for inflection points where the battery loss curve gets flatter.



I put my phone on my nightstand without charging at midnight last night.

I think their might be I lost 7% between 7am and 9am and all I did was view some texts thats all
