Hello guys,

I really like the boot animation, but can't seem to make it work, I don't know if it's right place to ask, but I count on your help, so:

I have H850 running on 10i, vodafone, boot unlocked, TWRP installed, supersu installed.

There are two bootanimation.zip-s: at /system/media and second one at /persist-lg/poweron, I've replaced first one without problem, set permissions, rebooted - still stock boot animation comes on. Tried to replace second one, but it doesn't let me to do that - not enough space (original one is 2.9 MB) - tried to delete it, but after restart its back. Also tried to replace second boot animation with different one (5MB size), but after restart original one is overwritten again. Tried to google but can't seem to find anyone with similar problem.

Thank you in advance

---

Found one more in /data/local, so there are three locations for me:

/system/media

/persist-lg/poweron

/data/local

I'll play around to see which one has priority over others.

Just leaving this message here if somebody has similar issue.

That's because you have a Vodafone branding. Unbrand your device and then it'll work. I also recommend overwriting with solid Explorer, I just did drag'n'drop and it worked.

Hi everyone

I wanna buy a new phone and the specs of Mi4c have catch me compared to it's price, but then there is many review that says it have a heating issue, so now i just wanna ask you as owners of this phone, do you advise me to buy it or to look for another model, i should mention that im not a gamer just from time to time on simple games, i use most this phone for social medias and video calls at skype.

thank you in advance for any help
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] hansip87:
I did take the plunge and so far i love it :) My findings:

Beware that mi4c is China only phone originally so don't expect Global MIUI ROM officially. you can try MIUI eu ROM or sMIUI as alternative but in general this phone will stuck with Android 5.1.1 officially, only the MIUI version is upped. the base OS is still the same Lollipop. the best way to enjoy Nougat is with CM but its Marshmallow CM experience is pretty much stable all around at this time of development.

No overheating so far, but then again i flashed into CM from the start so no MIUI for me.

The Rectangular design is Sony like so i love it (subjective ofc)

Great camera and screen quality.

Battery life is on par with any 3000mah flagship so no worries. (but then again i'm using CM here)

BUT..

If you value super battery life, but not great but above average camera and screen, you can grab the Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon version) with roughly the same price. Plus the Global ROM availabilty is guaranteed for Xiaomi RN3. I personally take mi4c just because i like the design language plus the camera quality proven by GSMArena and others. So there you have it.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Matt17BR:
The fact it overheats compared to other phones is true, but only partly. Yes, it overheats, but it only does so on miui. I find, using any other custom rom based on aosp or cm, that the issue is completely gone. And when I overheats it really isn't that much of an issue in my experience.

If you ask me, you can't find a better 5"-5.2" phone under 200. If you value community support too it's basically an obligated choice as well.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
The overheating isn´t gone with another Rom.

I tried every Rom and still have this problems (not as much as with miui, but still overheating), but with other Roms you could manage the throttling better. So you don´t have lags and freezes while gaming what is important, but for me it heats on 50-65+ on every Rom while play 3d games and rare throttling.

The problem is the 808 - 810 series. Every phone with this cpus overheats.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] tzaq93:
There is no overheating if you put the GPU and the BIG cores in powersave. You should get like 4-5 hours screen-on time and no performace issues. Also the battery should last 48h with normal use.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
What you mean with "put the GPU and the BIG cores in powersave" ?

At least you have a 30k antutu device and i don´t believe that you can play 3d games well like that. Thats for sure not what the OP want.

I won´t say that the Mi4c is a bad device, price / performance is pretty good, but its not right there aren´t overheating problems. Everyone should now about that issue before he buy it and if i know before that i can just use 60-70 % of the performance i would looking for another device maybe (i tought there is more space above the 68k written in the test results like in every phone with another rom ...).

The best result i get was with RR 5.7.1 constant 55k antutu (heating about ~55°c). With some roms my phone throttle down to 30-40k and i had enormly problems to play NFS, fps 15 after 2-3 mins. With efficient mode i stuck at 45k or less.

For sure not every phone is same, what mean if you are lucky you couldn´t have overheating problems.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] adrinho987:
thank you for your answer but i just wanna know if it heat on normal usage, like social media, taking photos and skype video calls, cause the main reason i wanna buy this phone is the screen and the camera, i casualy play games and when i do, it just simple games like domino or guessing games.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
Well, in your case no. You won´t have overheating problems just for social media etc. and very simple games.

But could be that you find a new game/app wich need performance then you could have. Future ! ;D.

BTW Vector 2 looks like a simple game, Pokemon Go looks like a simple game, a map with some stops but you would have overheating probs (resp. - i have - ~55°c). Just saying ;D.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] adrinho987:
thank you again, i will go for it, i was hesitating between this phone and redmi 3s
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Matt17BR:
The main reason you shouldn't buy a redmi 3s is the well known bug that keeps the phone stuck on 2G in some occasions (you can read more on miui.com or here in xda).

[MENTION=4488955]Danny94[/MENTION], that 55k antutu sounds low. And so does that cpu temperature you were talking about. I wouldn't rule out the possibility it's a defective unit, frankly. With all the roms I've used I've never gotten less than 65k and 72k with my current daily driver - TS CM13.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] hansip87:
I had Z5 Premium before mi4c (don't ask why the downgrade) and it does overheat, causing a game like Horizon Chase to stutter after a while. None that i found with mi4c. so even if this phone CPU overheats in games, the impact isn't as pronounced compared to 810 powered phone. Yeah gaming is quite major part in smartphone but it's taken as an in-between activity so in pretty much all other activities, even 810 is still very good as i have used in Z5P and no complain generally.

last time i test i get around 69k, so pretty good actually.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ermacwins:
You should look at Zuk Z2 (not pro) much better than mi4c
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
Guys i believe you to reach 69k ... on Antutu, but thats not a true value... I reach 69 k too on first time, you should try to test 5 times or more behind each other until your value doesn´t drop anymore. That was for me 55k on RR 5.7.1, with the most other Roms i was on 35k after 3-5 test.

The first test doesn´t have any sense on this cpu, because of the overheating -> throttle. Or does you play a game for only 3 minutes too ?

Yeah the Zuk Z2 looks great. I like 5" smartphones and at the moment the Zuk Z2 is the best in my opinion, the Rom should be bad, but there are for sure custom roms.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] adrinho987:
thank you but zuk z2 is around 210$ while mi4c will cost me only 120$
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Kéno40:
I would go for Mi4S, it worth the upgrade IMO...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Danny94:
As i know the Mi4c has the same hardware like the Mi4s, just small things like fingerprint sensor, sd -slot, little bit more battery, but costs a lot more.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] legacyofthevoid:
It really depends on the relative price of Mi 4c compared to other devices.

The only thing that makes Mi 4c stand out is its camera quality. It takes amazing photos (though the focus speed is average) and high quality 4k videos (though the lack of stabilization means you need very steady hands).

Performance of Mi 4c is good but it heats too much. Stand-by power consumption is too high (even when compared with nearly identical phones like Mi 4s).

I'm not sure what prices you can get, but in China you can get Mi 5 (3GB RAM, 32GB Storage) for USD250 through the official Mi shop. The Red Mi Note 3 and Note 4 offer metal body, fingerprint sensor, larger battery and similar performance. You can think about them as well. Note that the Red Mi series have noticeably worse camera than Mi 4c.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ermacwins:
$120 for 16gb/2gb model?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] adrinho987:
yeah at aliexpress; actually you can even get it at 109 usd if you are in a country that all sellers in aliexpress ship to
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ermacwins:
I would try to get at least the 32gb/3gb model
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Matt17BR:
Fact is that while the 16 gb 2 gb ram version is a 100% steal, the 3 gb 32 gb one is almost 60 euros more expensive. Probably they're still worth it though :p
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] gothed:
buy mi4c with 3/32

you wont regret it ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] adrinho987:
thank you everyone guys, i have order 2g/16gb version from aliexpress for around 120 usd, i could not afford the 3g/32gb version and even if i could i would go for another models such ZTE nubia, anyway the main reason i bought this phone is the camera and the display, i dont play games so i dont think that i will really need 3g of ram i will be fine with 2g of ram. i will post again my expreience about the phone when i get it and try it for couple of days
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] waingro808:
I was also debating Mi4c vs Redmi 3s. I want the better camera, so I finally bought the Mi4c for USD 110 today! Nothing can beat it for this price.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ridman31:
yes you should :D and you wont regret it :fingers-crossed:

recently i purchased a PC that was only going to be used for small tasks. win 8.1/64 2.x Ghz, 4g , 2tb Storage. IT had extensive issues regarding microsoft updateing and ridiculous boot times due to the forementioned. its the worst OS they ever put out and not even 5 techs could fix it in an 18 hour period. i finally said to install my old 7 home prem at which time they referd me to the website and dropped my call. They are fired for life!

Ive used Ubuntu in the past ..but I would like to know if a typical mini ATX l 64bit gateway pc (55" tv as monitor) will be efficient running your OS ? if so point me the right direction to get migrated!:confused:

[General Questions and Answers] drotebor:
I was given a "Playtab" tablet with 9 inches screen - I can't find a precise model number, sorry. The thing won't boot at all, the screen remains black, but when I connect it via USB to a PC running windows XP, a USB device with VID:2207 and PID:310C shows up.

So I got RKBatchTool-v1.8 and installed the rockusb.inf/driver file for xp, and the USB device 2207:310C seems to work correctly with it. A "rockusb device" item appears in the device manager and properties say "This device is working properly.". However, when I run RKBatchTool, it doesn't find any connected devices. Strange.

I then tried rkfflashkit under linux and it turns out that rkflashkit can connect to the tablet, and can read the flash memory. This is the ID info rkflashkit gets from the tablet

MACHINE_MODEL:AP-103

MACHINE_ID:007

I'm not sure what to do next. In theory there's a firmware image for "playtab" tablets here

but I don't know if it's the right one for my device, and I don't even know if rkflashkit can flash it.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] tysonk91:
Hello everyone,

I just wanted to give some information out to everyone in regards to the Note 7. With the latest news involving the replacement Note 7s having battery issues, Samsung and all carriers have stopped the exchange of the Note 7. Depending on the carrier, they will either let you exchange your phone for another device(S7, iphone, etc.) or a full refund. Wherever you bought your Note 7 is where you will go to do the exchange or refund. If you bought it on the Verizon website, then go to a corporate store. If you have purchased your phone through a third party(ebay, swappa) Samsung will refund you for the Note 7. I literally just got off the phone with Samsung. I purchased my phone through Swappa and I asked the Samsung rep on how to get a refund since I purchased from a third party. The representative asked for my name, address, and IMEI number of the device. Then the representative asked what third party and directed me to someone else to initiate the refund. Once I got with the other person, he told me that they will be sending me a box with a prepaid label and told me to put the phone and all accessories in the box and mail it back out. He said once the company receives the phone, it will take 10 to 14 days to receive a check for the refund. He told me if you happen to have the receipt of the phone, put it in the box and they will refund you that amount. If you dont, they will give you the MSRP of the phone based off of what your carrier is selling it as. I told the guy that I didn't have the receipt obviously since I bought it from Swappa and the seller didn't have it and he told me that I would be getting the refund of $864 since that is the MSRP of the phone through Verizon. Just thought I would share my experience to everyone who may be in the same boat as me as I will never buy from a third party (Swappa) again.

Just a helpful message to those dealing with Verizon. I successfully did an exchange for the iPhone 7 + today and they tried to charge me a $20 per line upgrade fee for each Note 7 I exchanged. Your situation may be different but I did not upgrade to the note 7 originally, I was a new customer purchasing the Note 7 but there is no way they should be charging anyone a fee in this situation. The guy on the phone just said it was all sales tax, it wasn't until I received email confirmation of my order that I noticed there was sales tax + upgrade fees.

[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Dodge DeBoulet:
I arranged for an exchange to a S7E. When I tried to do it on-line, the $20 upgrade fee showed up on the list of charges. The sales chat box had popped up right then, though, and I asked the rep why I was being charged an upgrade fee on a forced exchange. She said it would be credited at check out, which of course made me suspicious.

I'd also heard about the $100 credit Samsung was providing for those that replaced the N7 with another Samsung device, so I asked the chat rep. She referred me to the Customer Care Team, since she didn't have any information on that. So I canceled the exchange/upgrade order and called 800-922-0204.

I spent 20 minutes on hold waiting to talk to someone, and when I got through asked about the upgrade fee. I was told that I had been charged an upgrade fee when I purchased the N7, and that it would be refunded to me on return. This of course was BS, as VZW was waiving the upgrade fee when I obtained the N7 back in August and I had the original invoice to prove it. She finally agreed to waive the fee, fortunately.

I then asked about the $100 credit, and she hadn't heard about it. I pointed her at the Samsung Newsroom and she was subsequently able to locate it, and asked me to hang on for a few seconds as she forwarded it to her team.

So at this point a return box for the N7 is on the way, and since the S7E in Onyx Black won't be in stock until tomorrow she could only offer me standard shipping. It will most likely arrive next Tuesday while I am in Chicago, and no one will be around to sign for it. Theoretically, FedEx will attempt again on Wednesday.

Luckily I'm only out $20 on accessories ($10 case, $10 on a set of 3 USB-C cables); I can still use the wireless charging pads. And although the case is probably useless, the cables will someday come in handy.

So has anyone that's returned their N7 for an alternate device lost their 2GB Bonus data?

I'm currently showing 4GB of bonus data on my account; I'm assuming that's because I got 2GB for the original N7 and another 2GB for the replacement N7. I'm wondering if that'll go away once the S7E arrives and the replacement N7 is returned ...

I talked to Samsung today and got my explosion proof packaging on the way! Also talked to a cool rep that was giving me a little insight to what is going on. Samsung has not completely killed this device yet. They have only confirmed two of the cases so far. The recall is voluntary so you dont have to turn it in if you dont want to unlike a lot of people saying you must turn it in! They are just following CPSC orders. So there is hope although small we may see another Note 7 again!!! Samsung employees like the guy i talked had to turn their devices in as well for the timing being but may get back. It is still too early to tell what the outcome will be. Mine is going back just so i have peace of mind i wont wake up to a fire! Cmon pixel xl! LOL
