Hello everyone,

Having tried out RealVGA on my recent reflash of WM6 for my Uni I must say it's rather lovely at 96dpi and while quite a few progs get along just fine there will always be a few that just are not keen on it and resetting the Uni just to run a game or prog is a pain on the rear.

My question is would it be possible to have RealVGA have a list of .exe's which would be run at 192dpi (kinda like Midget_1990's VGA prog but the other way round) so in operation it would kind of do the following. . .

Run prog.exe

RealVGA checks list finds prog.exe is 192dpi only

RealVGA runs prog.exe in 192dpi

When you exit/taskswitch prog.exe screen returns to 96dpi

I know it's a bit of a long shot but I'm also looking to treat myself to an Athena/Ameo/x7501 of some flavour and given that this has the same issues as the Uni I think this would be a winner for both units.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
That is not possible. RealVGA does not run in background, it just changes a few registry settings so the device 'thinks' its a regular device with big screen and not VGA.

What you can do is make some programs 'VGA aware' that way they will run in true VGA while the rest of the system works normally.

You do this by adding a resource to the exe of type "CEUX" called "HI_RES_AWARE" with binary content 01 00.

You can use Resource Hacker but make sure the file is not signed when you edit it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oberth:
Thanks for the reply,

After posting this thread I thought I could of better worded it so take two.

As you say RealVGA just performs it's magic then it's done but would it be possible for an app to be made that could sit in the background and change the dpi on the fly or is it something beyond the capabilities of a WM device?

Meantime I shall have a look at the method you have described and see if it can fix the problem on imate blackjack as it visually looked ok but none of the menu items could be selected.

I updated from the shades.sh CM 2016.08.16 to 2016.10.03. In the old version I just can't use the buttons on my phone, but after update the buttons works but there's no sound at all. The speaker works, but all my headphones have the same issue. Is that a common issue in the rom or I just need to perform a factory reset and flash the rom again?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] 33bca:
Read the changes... or at least the bug section...

the new build is based on a custom kernel, and at the moment all custom kernels have problems with audiorouting trought headphones. So its a general issue!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] sydeu:
It's actually a new feature. It's the same a iPhone 7, the headphone jack has been deactivated in cyanogenmod now.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DaddyWhale:
For years now, starting with the 1st gen Galaxy Note, I've not used any protection on my phones. Other than paint chipping (Note 3) or the rubber backing on my LG V10 pealing away, I've not had any issues.

Are any of you going naked with the Note 7? I'm about to get mine. Am a bit concerned because of the "premium" materials used on the Note 7. Is the phone liable to cracking? Or will it withstand the rare drop out of a trouser pocket onto a wooden/carpeted floor?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
You will see reports here from people whose phones mysteriously acquired scratches. My own experience is that in the month that I've heavily used two Note 7s (pre- and post-replacement) with no protection, there have been no cracks, scratches, or other blemishes, either front or back, despite a couple of minor drops/bangs.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
I'll put my 2 cents in as someone who goes nuts and buys 20 cases and all sorts of screen protectors before I even my new phone, to say im anal about keeping my device in perfect condition is an understatment, but after the recall I said "screw it" and went naked on my Note 7, felt amazing, liberating even lol, exchanged it, didnt notice a scratch or anything, but I didnt really fully inspect it either. And keep in mind even though I knew the phone was going back i coddled it like a baby. Got my exchange and couldn't bring myself to put a case or screen protector on, 5 days later, I was looking at my phone and caught some good light and the glass was all rashed up on the bottom back as well as the front bottom left.

You can check my post here for more details and people trying to argue that the Note 7 getting scratched is impossible.

http://xdaforums.com/note-7/help/havnt-screen-protector-case-note-7-t3470482

Anyways, I have another new device I got in the day before yesterday, attempted to get a screen protector on, wouldnt stick on the corners so I said screw it, although the back protector stuck perfectly fine, as I type this my Note 7 is sitting next to me in its LED case, protector on the back glass, nothing on the front, after going naked for a while, it def hurt to see scratches, but the feeling of the phone with nothing on it was awesome, and I'm thinking of just continuing to go naked with it, the phone will get scratched but its not the end of the world, i need to loosen up with that, especially since I'm on AT&T next and the phone isn't mine after a year, which is what i want, i always want the newest phone.

I recommend reading my thread and gathering a conclusion from there.

Hope this helps!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
Yes, feels incredible. I have almost never dropped a phone, and have never cracked anything on a phone. I use Jump on Demand, so as long as it isn't cracked/damaged, they don't care. Scratches do not matter during my trade-in. So off the case went (except when in the gym since it is much more likely to slip out of my pocket) and haven't looked back. I am a little more careful of where I put it down, but it feels incredible in the hand, and looks DAMN good with those curved edges... it's like the sides don't have bezels.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Itchiee:
I've always had a case on this phone but never a screen protector.....

I have dropped it three times (i know), twice from the nightstand, and once from a low profile bed, all times onto a wooden floor.

I have had it in my pocket while on Transformers the ride at Universal Studios.

I have competed in a series of field games at work (tug o' war, volleyball) with it in my pocket.

Yesterday was at the driving range hitting a few dozen golf balls.

And so far so good.

Now that this recall nonsense might possibly continue I may need to find another phone as durable.... :angel:
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Heinous:
Always naked. This phone is too nice to cover with an ugly case.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
Just got my Note 7 Office Keyboard case in today (Never thought I'd own one of these) But im trying to find that happy medium between naked and protected and saw this case, the back reminded me a lot of my S6 Edge + Official case that was just a thin piece of plastic that snapped onto the phone by the corners, sp i grabbed it, not caring about the keyboard part at all, welp snapped it on and my expectations were exceeded! This is jusg like the S6 Edge + case I had except i like this cases textured back even more, looks and feels premium and is THIN so the phone maintains its beauty and feel, you don't have to keep the keyboard on it at all, but i will say im really enjoy the look and feel of the phone with the keyboard Attached too, functions great and protects half of the screen and wont allow the other half of the screen to touch anything.

For all you nudists out there looking for a middle ground like me, i definitely recommend The official Note 7 Keyboard case.

http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-5x-android-7-nougat-bootloop-issue-717698/

So I read this article back on September 21st and thought, "Well I've been using 7.0 since it was N Preview 3 and upgraded to final release just fine. I should be good." Then two nights ago while I was just browsing online, it happened to me and I got an endless bootloop. Mind you, I am totally stock and unrooted (Support does ask if you are by the way) which is a first for me as I usually ended up rooting and customizing my previous phones. All I saw was the Google logo for 5-10 seconds, then it turn off, back to the logo, and repeat. I followed the trouble shooting steps to clear the cache and the factory reset. At first I couldn't even get to those options but letting the phone rest in power off for a few minutes fixed that. But it's still bootlooping on me. Good thing Google's customer support is 24/7, I'm within my 1 year warranty (Purchased Sept 2015 but didn't receive and activate until end of Oct 2015), and I'll be receiving my free replacement in the mail in the next few days.

Only "issues" are I'm going to lose my Ice Blue color and will be getting a black one, I splurged for the expedited shipping ($18.99 which I don't think they'll cover), and it'll be a little bit as it's 1-2 days for processing and 1 day (hopefully) shipping. They do put a hold on my credit card for the total price which they remove once the old phone gets shipped. I have 14 days to ship the old one which they do provide shipping and packing slips for free. That makes sense someone could try to lie and scam to get a free phone without some kind of collateral.

Overall, I was pretty satisfied with the support I got and was really tempted to splurge on the Googe Pixel and pay $27/month prior to this happening. But with this replacement, I'm hoping that my original unit was defective in performance (That's what comments would say) as it slowed down way more than it should on things that would be pretty simple especially websites. Guess I'll wait for the Pixel 2 next year.

Update:

Looks like the expedited shipping was covered by them. The hold was removed from my credit card and no shipping charge remaining.
[Nexus 5X General] sfhub:
IMO the original information from the Google reply is confusing. In the context they were answering it makes it seem like the hardware problem is between 7.0 and the hardware. IMO the hardware problem is actually eMMC that is close to failing and it could have happened on MM as well (there have been sporadic posts of this happening since release). So Google is right, it is a hardware problem, but the implication that it is related to Android 7.0 and you'd be all safe with 6.0.x is IMO deceptive.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Well hopefully there was an eMMC fix with the one I just received today. Let's see how it performs for me.
[Nexus 5X General] sfhub:
If it was manufactured later (or a refurb) there is at least the possibility the eMMC chip might be of different batch, but if it was manufactured back in 10/2015 timeframe, I doubt Google knew about the problem back then so there would be zero chance it has some newer eMMC chip. Even if it was manufactured after that there is no guarantee they knew about the problem and made a manufacturing change.

I don't think it is a highly prevalent problem, but it occurs more than what is usual with phones. There are plenty of 5x's which don't experience the problem. You will probably be fine.

IMO these eMMC chips that they used have a higher failure rate than normal but probably is still a low absolute number relative to number of phones sold. It doesn't take that many posts about permanently bootlooped phones to make it seem like an epidemic when it might not be when looking at the overall picture.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Well if this fails again within 1 year I'll take another replacement. LOL. Probably sell it at that point and put it towards whatever Google is out with then.
[Nexus 5X General] sfhub:
It is possible it might be some different hardware defect with solder joints rather than eMMC chip itself. Just a working theory that the 5x may suffer a hardware problem acknowledged for its cousin the LG G4

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/5x-bootloop-cause-fix-t3476794
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
So after a good 3 days of use, I can say my original release day 5X probably did have some kind of defect. It's amazing how much smoother my replacement has been and I haven't changed my apps or usage. There are times of delay and lag here and there but not to the point where it wasn't usable like unscrollable web pages or non-responsive back, home, recent apps buttons like my old phone. Eventually it will catch up and things go back to working smoothly without the need to restart the phone. I should've requested a replacement months ago! I just didn't believe people when they said it was defective and I don't realize how easy and quick it was to get a replacement. Oh well.
[Nexus 5X General] ttg:
I must say this thread is quite quiet...

Mine died a week ago while traveling. :(

It was actually running 7.0 for quite some time. but I think it's eMMC failing because the only major change I had was doing more videos in 4k (that sometimes stuttered).

Then one morning without warning it rebooted and died.

Hope they'll replace it as my purchase date was 10/9 ...

However, I'm afraid there's a defect similar to the G4 one because it seems very similar.

Also as written above, might be related to the reports of some users as I had prior to 7.0 betas of lags. my device felt really laggy when I first bought it.

I sent mine in to LG after it randomly shut down and bootlooped using maps. They reported this issue was with the flash memory, so everyone saying the eMMC is likely correct.

[Nexus 5X General] innov:
Is the nougat bootloop problem will be resolved by google? I have Nexus 5x 32gb (h791 international version, manufactured 10/2015) with 6.0.1 and I'm too afraid to upgrade to 7.0 because officially Nexus 5x is not available in my country although there's LG smartphone service center here (I bought it online and let's just say it's virtually without warranty).
[Nexus 5X General] OhioYJ:
This was my experience as well. I had an earpiece speaker die in my 5x, so I would have gladly paid the $19 anyway, but much to my surprise, I didn't have to. Very glad I bought the phone through the Play store now, the support and exchange process was excellent.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
There's kind of a debate going on as to whether it's really the update or if it's an eMMC hardware issue.
[Nexus 5X General] ttg:
The only reason I think it's eMMC or at least the connection with it is:

- My recovery won't always load also.

- TWRP would also freeze even if I try to boot into it without flashing it.

- I've flashed factory image without wiping data. result: It did boot once but got stuck and reboot after few minutes of hiccups.

- It freezes in different parts when loading.

- My device worked well for a long time with 7.0. more than a month / since the first day the 7.0 OTA from the 7.0 beta was out...

- I saw some hiccups few days before it died randomly when shooting 4K videos. felt like dropouts.

(placebo: my device was sluggish with 6.0 and 7.0 beta actually made it functional. with 6.0 I was quite disappointed with the performance).
[Nexus 5X General] sfhub:
It is definitely a hardware problem.

In many cases eMMC is involved.

It is unclear whether the chip is failing or the solder joints are failing.

LG has acknowledge a defect with the LG G4 (cousin of 5x) where the solder joints were failing.

There are videos showing heating the chip using SMD hot air rework station can restore functionality on a LG G4. I don't know of anybody who has tried same with 5x.

Given there were reports of phones on Marshmallow just rebooting in the middle of seemingly innocuous things like texting and then being stuck in a bootloop with all stock software, locked bootloader, IMO Android 7 has little to do with the problem and it is mostly coincidental it happens after an update. It is possible Android 7 runs the CPU a little more and maybe that exacerbates a solder joint problem for some phones, but the core problem would still be solder joints as melting point of lead-free solder is quite high (220C/428F)
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
7.0 helped a lot with my old device but my replacement is way better than my original ever was.

Yeah I think it's probably just coincidence that Nougat was released and eMMC failures were happening around the same time.
[Nexus 5X General] sfhub:
Do you remember if you ever looked to see whether your "big" cores (CPUs 5 & 6) were often disabled?

I am wondering if a solder joint problem can sometimes manifest itself in CPU operating in degraded condition where it doesn't run the "big" cores as often or at all.

I noticed on a friend's 5x, it was always running hot for some reason, which triggered a thermal safety measure where the "big" cores are disabled. Whenever the 5x is in that condition, it runs very sluggishly, but once the phone cools down, it goes back to running normal/fast.

It would be funny if alot of the complaints about the 5x being sluggish ended up being because of bad solder joints. Then the people that reported sluggishness would be correct and the people who reported things being snappy were also correct, the former really just had hardware defects, but not the obvious type.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I never did check how the cores were running but I did have a widget monitoring the temperature and would notice pretty high spikes. That last statement you made is the exact situation I was in. I guess I would rather have a sluggish performance defect than a burning battery one. LOL
