[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gasman858:
One of the things I worry about with flashing addiction is bad NAND blocks. Some versions of HardSPL like this one for the Hermes: OliPro's HardSPL 2.10 appears to be quite a bit more advanced than the Kaiser version in that it can perform "task 2a" (from mtty?) which can repair bad blocks - see below. I am not mtty-savvy enough to determine whether the Kaiser version can perform these functions and I don't know if these versions are device or platform specific... Nor am I brave enough to find out on my own Tilt.

Hard-SPL-2.10 (V7)

CURRENT FEATURES

-SuperCID

-no file signing required

-no password required to authenticate with bootloader

-bad NAND can be recovered with "task 2a"

-bad NAND can be recovered by flashing an OS

-SPL protected from all HTC retail SPLs being flashed by accident (to bypass, use SSPL)

-IPL protected from all flashes; protection against bogus NBH's

-bad NAND can again be checked for with "info 8"

-version displays 2.10.Olipro

-no longer tries to read bad NAND - should fix whitescreen issue

Here is the file for the HERMES if anyone wants to peek at it. Perhaps some of the features could be copied into the Kaiser version.

Cheers-

Flashing cause issues?

Hi

I had a Vario 3 which i had flashed quite a few ROMs to including 6.0 and 6.1 versions. After 3 months, the phone refused to connect to t-mobile 3g and i was reduced to using GPRS only. I have since returned this phone to factory rom and SPL version before switching the handset with a new one. My question is, would the problems be related to ROM flashing and if i was to start flashing my new Vario 3 would i have the same issues?

Thanks

WM 6.1 & ActiveSync 4.5 phenomenon

I've got a T-Mobile MDA Vario III, a PC with Win2k and MS-Activesync 4.5

Synchronization worked fine with WM6.0 but ceased to work properly after upgrade to WM6.1

I've used a HTC shipped ROM - RUU_Kaiser_HTC_PLK_3.29.464.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.zip

Everything went smoothly but now I get this strange sync:

> NOT ALL of my calendar entries go from Outlook to my Kaiser

> NOT ALL of my contacts go from Outlook to my Kaiser

> NONE of my tasks go from Outlook to my Kaiser

It's really annoying... :(

---------------

I guess I'll have to help myself...

It seems a GLOBAL issue that WM6.1 and ActiveSync 4.5 (+ Outlook) don't collaborate properly. Contacts or calendar appointments which include some NOTES do not get synchronised !

http://www.microsoft.com/communitie....aspx?dg=microsoft.public.pocketpc.activesync

MS does nothing to release a new version of its sync tool...

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] tonymy01:
Maybe it changed in the last update, but when I tried it,I put a video in there and wasn't able to copy it back out (when I found the Occulus player didn't support opening from secure folders- bummer). A quick bit of research at that point suggested this was the intention of secure folder to not allow security compromise of copying back out of it? Perhaps you can "un"secure it?

Edit: ok just tried again, and if you go into gallery inside the secure folder, there is an option to move out, yay. Didn't spot this option previously.

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Guides, News, & Discussion] ksekhar:
I've the phone now and camera is a let down.

Stereo mode is very slow

No bokeh mode

Pictures are very grainy/noisy
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Guides, News, & Discussion] ermacwins:
Where did you buy it from? Can you send it back?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Guides, News, & Discussion] StoneTrapper:
Thanks for the great review! Very helpful.

I really am incredibly tempted by this phone, after hovering with my finger on the checkout button for a couple of days I decided to hold off.

1. The Mi Note 2 due to be announced in 5 days is shaping up very interestingly and may not be too different a price point

2. There's still no TWRP. The standard 5s had a port in a few days but the delay and lack of outrage makes me cautious there's not going to be much active development outside of MIUI and coming from a Redmi Note 2 I wouldn't mind a change.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Guides, News, & Discussion] ksekhar:
Got it from honorbuy.com

Not sure if I can send back as there's no manufacturing defect with the phone it's just that camera sucks.

Bought it for camera but noisy and no bokeh is a deal breaker :(

Samples below.

HDR, auto and stereo mode in that order. I have to say HDR is very slow. If you shake during the photo process you'll have blurred picture. You'll notice auto is noisy!

I am thinking to change g4 (bootloop issue) with one of Xiaomi phones. Was very tempted to buy 5s plus or 5s but will settle with MI5 Pro....
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Guides, News, & Discussion] ermacwins:
Why you getting mi5 pro?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Guides, News, & Discussion] Gregzi:
- reduced price since "S" has been launched

- there is a very little difference between S820 and 821

- memory is the same

- screen is the same

- camera is not that good at all on "S"- no OIS, artifacts in some reviews in video, focus issues...
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Guides, News, & Discussion] ermacwins:
How much are you paying for it?

The EIS isn't that bad. I'm guessing the camera can improve with updates. The Google Pixel has the same sensor and its a very good camera

Why not open the phone and replace the dual cams with dual imx378 modules? Is it possible?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Guides, News, & Discussion] ksekhar:
prying open a phone to replace cameras is not fun (at least not for me) and there is a very little guarantee that it would work as firmware needs to be adapted. Better live with it or get phone you love (tested Huawai Honor phones and they have awesome dual cameras) than getting stuck with one you dont like

I just noticed that Bokeh is available in Redmi Pro when using Stereo mode. How Xiaomi fixes this for Mi5s plus.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Guides, News, & Discussion] literadesign:
No not exactly. I wasn't referring to actually talk about Meizu Pro 6 device but as others have been talking about DOF bokeh etc. I just wanted to point people at checking how they've done it on the Pro 6 device. The DOF seems to be so very good that you'd feel you've got a DSLR with f2.0 lens. At least it seems so impressive. I'm not sure about bokeh in such situation. Wehther they've simulated round diaphragm or any other shape. I suppose a completely round one would be the simplest and would also look best and most professional as more expensive pro lenses use diphragms with many more blades than cheap ones (5 or 6). And these become apparent in bokeh situation.

Hello, I'm new here. This is my first post and I'm not sure I'm posting in the right section. If I am, I apologize. I have had Alcatel ot 5020D for a while and since I got it it's been a bust. The guys at Telenor (where I got my phone) said the phone is working fine....blah blah..... Anyway, after some time (sometimes minutes, sometimes weeks, sometimes months) the phone reboots itself and reformats the SD card. And while it was a pain I ignored it. Last time it reformated, it became unable to boot at all. So I wanted to flash a custom rom. I successfully rooted the device and installed CWM but I can't flash any ROM. I tried, but it still won't boot. After a lot of research I found the guy with the same problem, but he never says how he fixed it. It only says he used source file. I found this: kent.dl.sourceforge.net/project/alcatel/OT_5020D_20130606.tar.xz

Now, I have no idea how to actually flash this to the device, and I've searched for over a week. Can anyone here help me? Or if you can zip this file, that would be awesome too. Thank you in advance.

Hi guys and first of all, sorry for my english :o)) Gonna try to do my best !

Well, i have the Mi 5s since 1 week and it works very well except for one thing : the fingerprint sensor...

I put my both thumbs and forefinger in the security setting (and i recorded two times my left thumb) and even with 2 records, it doesn't work very well (and with the other finger, it's completely crappy, sometimes i can try 10 times in a row but it doesn't work).

I'm the only one with this problem ? Do you know a way to fix it ?

Thanks in advance :p

EDIT : Working* in the title, one mistake again :(

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
schiff, do you use original rom or custom (international)?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] silverblack:
Seen a lot of reviews mentioning the sensor doesn't work 100%.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] towadroid:
Well I think it's very important how you read in your fingerprints. Because at the beginning it didn't work well too and the false rate was very high.

But then I calmly added the fingerprint again and now it works in 9/10 times. (I also used the trick to add the same finger 2 times).

What bothers me more is that the sensor sometimes seems to need time, if you want to unlock directly after you just closed the display or it failed once to recognize.

Btw I'm on official rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] schiff81:
I am using V8.0.10.0.MAGCNDH (MIUI8) but this version is international with German I'm not sure if this is official or a custom gearbest version. But at least it's the same version number like the official at mi download.

My next step is to check with adding same finger a second time.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] bozy09:
I think I read somewhere that the problem isn't the hardware but the software so we could expect a patch that will improve the performance of the fingerprint scanner dramatically in the future
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
If it has a different language than either Chinese or English, it's a custom rom and not the official rom. That means it could use a bad driver for the finger print sensor (so far only people with custom roms complain about precision).
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:

I hope on next weekly the problem are fix.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mrpurplez:
For me it unlocks reliably and is very fast, but nearly every time the lockscreen flashes up just before it unlocks. Pretty annoying. Also if i hold my finger on for just slightly too long it registers that as a press of the home button and closes whatever app I had open. I'm on the xiaomi.eu rom so it could just be that, hard to say.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] EbolaROU:
My opinion is that the sensor registers a small portion of the finger and you will have to do some tests to see how you usually hold the phone when unlock to see what portion of finger use in general.

After several attempts I managed to get a set of fingerprints that unlock the phone 9/10.

Also some times the sensor refuse to work, and I am forced to use the password , but I cant find any related problem that cause this behavior .

Compared to the sensor from my wife Redmi 3S its worse
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
You need to enter the password if the phone reboots typically. Also I suggest to learn the finger twice, that can also help a lot for unlock. Learn it like you hold it for typical unlock.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] chswoei1974:
This is a problem with recording fingerprints

Do not force the fingerprint sensor to record fingerprints

Recording pressure fingerprints can cause fingerprint distortion and not out

When you record a fingerprint, try to place it on the fingerprint sensor as lightly as possible

Use your thumbs to record fingerprints from multiple angles

Record a big thumb twice

Touch to light only when unlocked

A little bit of pressure on the fingerprint sensor will unlock

I use GOOGLE translation to Chinese into English

I hope to help you
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] literadesign:
Initially I recorded my fingers with light pressure, but it was working unreliably maybe because glass feels very slippery so you cant keep your finger still on same spot. Maybe. Then I repeated the procedure with a normal/moderate press - not hard, but enough so that my finger covers much of the sensor. Now it's whole lot more reliable. In the odd times when it does fail (usually my fault for placing my finger oddly on the sensor) I just lift the finger and press again and voila I'm in.

After the initial fail I felt this fingerprint thing is more or less of a gimmick that's unreliable enough to not use it. But after rerecording I'm now very pleased as it's now as if my phone isn't locked. It's just fast and reliable.

I did notice that the first time after a reboot you have to enter your pass/pin/pattern and will start using fingers afterwards.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] alexross:
I purchased the phone from gearbest who flashed an unofficial rom. The fingerprint doesn't work as expected, locking and suddenly unlocking the phone. After flashing the xiaomi.eu rom, bang! problem solved.

is it possible to use the wing (or any PPC w/ camera) as a USB webcam? if so, what program should I use?

I know it sounds farfetched, but i gotta get the question out of my mind. I mean, the possibilities for modifications with these PPCs are endless. If one can be used as a modem by tethering connection to a PC, why can't we use it for webcam?

i installed it during a lecture in my class, and i ended up messing around with it (not listening to lecture what so ever). i was busy taking pictures of my hot blonde chick in my class....but the resolution is very very very awful. I can see scan lines on my pc screen. average frame rate at low res (320x240) is 4.4 fps. very very laggy (i'm using usb cable to my laptop). somehow i can't connect the phone using wifi. still trying to mess around with it though. poor anti-aliasing by the software.

here's my take on it: decent software. it does what it suppose to do...barely.

anyone got decent setting for this software?

anyone else found other program that do similar stuffs?
[Wing, P4350 General] tks989:
thats funny, i find it to be decent w/ no complaints and i'm using it via wifi. 320x240, and lower end quality. higher quality will drastically slow down video.
[Wing, P4350 General] Maximus-CZ:
exactly ... you have to have a lot of light when you use camera, normal camera in your PPC will take 4 fps too, if you dont have lots of light! so go somewhere where is light and put 320x240 or even smaller, you dont need 320x240 for Skype or other progs.... put quality down too, .. i run it on 40 FPS on the second smallest roslution and works properly for me...

the worst thing that messed me is connecting PC and PPC by this soft,m but if you do that, you are winner :D
