I have no clue where media and other forums ASSume that this feature is the same as the s9s video lock screen feature. This more is like doing a pixel, i gotta have it features, and making us feel stupid. They assumed it suppose to come with the new june security patch. This feature has always been on the note 8. Someone give light to this. https://www.gsmarena.com/video_lock_screen_from_samsung_galaxy_s9_now_available_on_galaxy_s8_and_note8-news-31983.php

anyone input. the only thing worse than a bad assumption, is a bad decision. What i am asking is logical and sound. There are other threads if this one doesn't fit one's fancy.
Seriously, why even respond? If you don't like what we say you ll just be condescending as your other posts. Also, expecting a response in two hours is ridiculous!

nope just clarifying video lockscreen has been around, and sooner or later, there will be an agreement.
I can at least confirm that the video backgrounds in the Galaxy Apps store only appeared after the June update. Never saw them before that on my Note 8.
Looking further, it appears there are three different types of "moving pictures" wallpaper:
- Animated (Still image with some moving objects)
- Motion (Appearance changes when you tilt the phone left & right)
- Video (Plays up to 15 seconds of video on the lock screen).
We've had the Animated and Motion wallpapers since launch (or at least well before now), but the 15 second video wallpapers IS new, and that's the feature that was first seen on the S9.
So, before you "ASSume" the writers of the article didn't know what they were talking about with this feature being new to the Note 8, maybe you might want to try being more polite in your choice of words when you're confused about something; lest it leave you with egg on your face.

Once you have the June update you're good to go. Either search for video wallpapers in the Samsung Theme store, or find a video in your gallery, tap the 3-dot menu, then select "Set As Wallpaper" I believe.

Or you could type "Ipad 3 gestures" in Youtube and see what he is talking about.
I was thinking the same, seeing my brothers ipad the gestures are so useful for speedy use of a tablet. Has anyone comapred the speed/responsiveness of this GMD Gesture Control to that of an ipad? I'd definitely be tempted to buy it if its as good as the ipads.
As much as I dont like Apple is some ways, in others they really have got some great stuff that we are missing on Android

It is better. The amount of stuff you can do is simply amazing.
You can setup every single pattern you can think of to anything from 1 finger to 5 fingers. And the reaction time is instant. No lag.
The best thing is, it uses absolute 0 extra energy, the tablet has no issues going into deep sleep mode and it just work.
Right now I have something like:
4 Fingers Pinch -> Home
4 Fingers Expand -> Screenoff
3 Fingers Expand -> Recent opened apps
3 Fingers Pitch -> OverSkreen
2 Fingers From left border to right -> Back
3 Fingers Upper border to down -> Hide the Status bar (bar with clock buttons and ICS stuff).
Works wonders, you can also set it up to something like right, up, left pattern, square, triangle, you name it, to do anything you want

Sounds promising! I watched the video from the Google Play store and there does look to be some lag when pinch closing for example, maybe its an old video.

Best phone EVER. Nothing to complain about. Solid build quality, awesome screen, speaker is excellent. Love the ripple unlock. S Voice is a little hit and miss and is missing the cheekiness of the iPhone. But overall solid!
Quality phone and I think if Sammy hadn't been brave and recalled pebble blue before release this thread could have been busy but that's the beauty

no that was a TW option and only found in GB based roms. ICS has yet to have this option and idk if it ever will unless a dev can add it back in some how
ok so I'll brave it... I am a little disappointed.
S-Voice seems to love working when I'm by myself, but nooooo when someone else is around, it refuses to come to life.
But apart from that, this phone is a beauty.
One thing that's bothered me about samsung phones is the 1+ second lag between pressing home and power for screenshot.
I'm kind of ashamed of this because my brother's old iphone4s instantaneously takes screenshots.
Is there some manual way to change the amount of seconds it takes for it to register a screenshot? Or a mod?
Thanks!?

You'd have to adapt this method a little due to having a newer version of android, obviously, but:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/fix-decrease-ics-screenshot-action-delay-t1630469
is the only thing I could find on short notice.
Seems like a PITA. I'd be more inclined to use a 3rd party screenshot app that lets you choose different methods to enable the screenshot that are instant or that allow changing of the delay if it's that big of a deal.

Sorry man. Never thought of it as an issue before. Other than editing the stuff like mentioned from the thread I linked to, I guess you'll just have to live with it and take solace in the fact that your phone is 10 times better than the iPhone in most every other useful way.

Hola
Many of us I know signed up, most of us did not get in due to limited space. Bottom line there must be a few out there that got it. I am not sure of the so called NDA that was required, but I am hoping some can provide some very high level feedback.
1. Generally stable? Enough at least for usage as your daily driver?
2. How close to stock Android is it? For example, same battery management interface? Onscreen buttons? Minute vibration controls? Camera improvements?
3. Root available? I saw from some pictures issued on the ZTE Chinese forum showing a warning about having rooted device on a Nougat preview.
4. Any noticeable improvements in cellular reception? Actual dBm values would be nice.
It is just to give us a indication that ZTE US is at least not only bringing Nougat to our phones BUT the skinning and functionality and stability is ok.
I'm surprised the firmware itself has not leaked already.
Hello, I have Nougat and can provide some feedback from it.
I'd love to hear as well

According to one of the testers it is still MiFavor. Wow, can't believe I was fooled into thinking they actually cared with their "stock android discussion". Guess I have to flash CM and live with its bugs.

The 7.0 ROM has been in works for months. They released an early preview (screenshots) to the Chinese forum months ago -- of course it was still going to be MiFavor. The discussion poll about stock android for R&D was literally only like 2 weeks ago. If people think ANY company can just turn on a dime like that, then they clearly don't understand how companies work or how software is developed at that level.
