I got 7 and a half hours of SOT from my first charge of the 5T, that's some start to battery life.

I'm currently on 5 hours 15 minutes with SOT on the 5 and still have 40% battery left.

Do you cycle your battery from 100>0 or do you keep it topped up as you need it? Just curious as I'd like to have similar battery performance myself ðŸ˜

So I ordered it tuesday night and it is stuck in processing. Said it will dispatch today, but still nothing. So much for premium delivery.

My 5 which is on the latest update has started acting weird, it's burning through battery (was down to 27% at 11:30 from 100% after an overnight charge at 7:30am, it won't/can't see any WiFi networks and when I try to reboot it goes into an eternal "waiting" loop with the circular icon going round and round but despite waiting 20 minutes it still hasn't rebooted.

Any suggestions as to what's going on or more importantly what I need to do to fix it? It's been good as gold from new (bought on release) up to now.

If I have to do a factory reset would I be as well off jumping into the Android 8.0 Open Beta?

Maybe try clearing cache partition from Recovery menu? There is a way to access phone test. Really not sure though - seems odd. Mine's still A-OK since last update.

If you can get as far as the dialer than you can try accessing some of the built-in hardware tests to see what responses to you get
-open dialer,
-enter *#808# to explore all HARDWARE related tests,

Is it worth taking off the pre-applied screen protector and putting on the 3d one? Will it make a big difference?

Was going to do a Factory Reset but on your suggestion I wiped the cache and finger crossed it seems to be behaving itself again.

Good to hear it's nothing too serious

I'd say keep it for now
The 3d one can be better but tends to have bubbles in it
Just change when the pre applied screen protector has scratches on

I put the white smoke up too early I'm afraid

Whilst the phone behaved fine for the afternoon as soon as I went out and lost Wifi connectivity it started getting hot and losing battery at a rapid pace. Once I got back home it didn't reconnect to my Wifi so I went into Settings -> WiFi and it just keeps searching but never finding any networks.

I've also noticed that it performs very sluggishly whilst in settings and it also won't turn off or reboot, when I try it just hangs in the shut down process (where you get the white circular motion icon) and stays that way until I do a hard shut down i.e. press and hold the power button until it powers off.

I'm kind of resigned to the fact that I'm going to have to do a factory reset but when I try to do it within Settings -> Backup & Reset I can't get past the point where it asks me for my security pattern/password. In my case I use a pattern which I input and it shows the trace but then just stays there doing nothing.

I'm familiar enough with booting into recovery and flashing roms etc from years ago so I've booted into what I think is recovery (press power and volume up button) and I get a menu that looks somewhat familiar but doens't have an obvious Factory Reset option. The options I'm presented with are:-

- Install from internal storage

- Install from ADB

- Wipe data and cache
- Reset system setting
- Wipe cache
- Erase everything(Music, pics etc)

- Advanced
- Reboot to fastboot
- Reboot to recovery
- Ver 2.0

- Exit

I already wiped cache so the only option that looks like it could be an actual Factory Reset is "Reset system setting". Is that correct?

I'd prefer to do that than do a full complete wipe inc music and pics/movies etc.

Appreciate some input/guidance from those with a bit more recent experience of this sort of messing around, it's been a long time sine I did any rooting/flashing/resetting etc.

Cheers.

Try downloading the gsam battery app. With an adb command it gives detailed info on battery usage. A friend had this problem on his one plus 3t . Turned out to be a corrupt picture file.. weirdest I'd ever heard but with the app he was able to track it down

What happened?!

Anyone move from an Galaxy S7? Interested to find out how the camera compares

Think it's time for a new phone!
One plus 5t only 2 weeks old.
One careful owner. :pac:

Feck, sorry to hear that, only a meterial object but annoying all the same.

Was there a case on it or were you running it naked?

Looking at the pic, I would hope more than a drop caused that.

Have the OP5 and, in my experience and in comparison with the S7, it stacks up reasonably well. The S7 produces better lit shots when lighting is not as good but can, as a consequence, blow out some detail that the OP5 will pick up albeit with a slightly noisier image. The OP5 does not seem to be as good at picking up detail in the middle-to-long range where items become more smeared (e.g. far away trees with foliage or painted pebble-dash wall). I've found detail with hair also to be problematic and seen some issues with skin tones being over-simplified to watercolour effect. Bokeh is fun but needs some work too. To summarise, it's not the best camera by any means but it's a reasonable choice in good light and is at least in the same ball-park as the S7 camera, winning some battles and losing others depending on what aspects you're focussing on. Panorama mode is unusable for complex scenes with stock camera though. Samsung really nail that part of the game
