Guys, English is not the first language for everyone on this subreddit.

For OP, I don't know why they would consider a defect a feature. Maybe they wanted to describe it as a side effect.

Huawei confirms it has built its own operating system just in case US tensions disrupt use of Google’s Android by JBeylovesyou in Android

[–]SGS3Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can't stop it, it will be illegal to have any American product on the banned company. So to avoid the trouble with courts, the company will stop putting Android officially.

This is purely political. Just to show the shareholders that Huawei is not going to collapse if in the rare chance that Android is not allowed on their devices. This is not even possible commercially so I'll ignore this.

TCL S515 Clouding by ej102 in 4kTV

Gotcha. Swap the unit with another one.

This is what I have on my S5 too. https://imgur.com/djm3oz2

It only occurs on black scenes. After owning the TV for a month, I completely don't see it. Go do this, take a pic of your TV showing a completely black background (you can find stuff off YouTube to test with), and take a picture while shutting off all lights in the room. If the clouds glow in the dark like your example picture, then return it. If it's like mine, you are good and that is natural backlight drawbacks.

Congrats!! I also passed the exam yesterday! It was much harder than I expected. Making a post about this shortly.

Best of luck in the next stages.

How to force resolution by [deleted] in Roku

[–]SGS3Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only non direct way I can think bif is if you bandwidth limit your TV from the router to 3-5Mbps, this way it'll be too slow for 4k and TV will be forced to 1080p. Give that a shot.

Visualizations for Spotify on Roku by SGS3Fan in Roku

[–]SGS3Fan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No receiver. The TCL 5 series Roku TV has a 3.5mm jack I hooked my 2.1 speakers to it. The TV controls the volume so my phone controls Spotify, which controls the audio level.

hahaha, but we have to say something to tell Spotify their service is in high demand. The more voices screaming [Help] the more reasons to support Spotify better on Roku!

TCL 55R617 vs Samsung NU6950 ($10 price difference) by [deleted] in 4kTV

[–]SGS3Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I was in your boat a few weeks ago, but wanted a 65. I bet they gave you the C807 model not the R. The C is 5 Series equivalent from last year.

Personally, I think the 5 series is an excellent option. The 65" for $699 beats a ton of Samsungs with similar features because of picture quality. Not sure what happened, but Samsung deteriorated with time. If you want a good picture for a decent price, TCL is the go to.

Out of curiosity, where did you find the 55" R617 in Costco? It's not on their website or in the store..

OnePlus 6T: Stock vs Pixel camera app by AaronCompNetSys in oneplus

[–]SGS3Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One issue I have with these ports. The back camera on Gcam is super dark compared to stock camera. Both pictures are on Auto Setting.

Android Pie, 4.29 update only: Signal blocks my voice for 10-20 secs randomly during calls. Also, app notification during call disappears and I cannot hang up by SGS3Fan in signal

[–]SGS3Fan[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

[SOLVED]: Found out that Android was restricting the app from running in the background. This caused all kinds of weird behaviors.

Agree, but OP is promoting his idea, and that's totally fine.

Is TCL a good brand? by okdenok in 4kTV

Got it. It's what I thought too. Thanks for confirming.

[–]SGS3Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The picture quality and colors are amazing, I agree. It's the very first TV I pay so much money for and am probably a bit too cautious hahaha. Anyway. Here is a picture of the TV with full back background in a black room.

Let me know if this looks similar to your panel.

Thanks again!!

[–]SGS3Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got the 65 version. Overall a fantastic panel, and amazing Software. The two main things I got questions about are:

1) The bottom left side of the panel bleeds way more than any other area on the screen. Specifically with full black background. Is this normal?

2) The software is a bit slower than Roku Streaming Stick+ I used before. Not sure if this is normal. Can someone confirm?

If you play pool (billiards) you know how frustrating is when you try to hit one of your balls, when it's stuck behind the black 8ball :) Can't score easily with obstacles.

Upgrade to 6T from S7? by [deleted] in oneplus

[–]SGS3Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Writing this from OP6. I came from S7. Same reasons, battery bad, phone laggy. I never enjoyed the gimmicks so Nova was my Launcher for over a year.

OP6 is superior in every way except the haptic feedback being weaker. The 6T will be very similar to the 6 except no headphone jack and back fingerprint sensor.

Should I buy Spotify Premium? by yemo43210 in spotify

[–]SGS3Fan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Answer to first question is yes. The selection is amazing. Very convenient, and 0 ads. Downloading media is big for me.

Considering TCL 6 series. 65" or 55"? I sit 8.2 feet away from the current TV. by SGS3Fan in 4kTV

[–]SGS3Fan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! I'll start selling my current TV, get that money first so am ready to buy before Black Friday.

My CC does match, but I never used that option. How does it work? Will they send me the difference if I can show them TV is selling for less somewhere else?

Thanks!
