Does it play x265/hevc well? (use mx player + custom codec)

This is the thing I'm looking for in my next phone.

test file: http://jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfish-250-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv

from http://jell.yfish.us/

My Nvidia Shield TV & Google Pixel C play this with zero effort (both have the Nvidia Tegra X1 chip)

Played without any issue!
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] roosta:
Firstly, fantastic work and nice review. Now send it to me so I may do the same? :cool:

So...whats the point of 2 speaker like grils if there's only 1 single firing speaker? A strange 'cosmetic' decision? Is there anytihng behind it?

RoOSTA
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] tibcsi0407:
Thank you, I am happy that you were satisfied. I am very beginner in reviews, also my English needs some polishing because I didn't use it a long time ago.

I think they just simply wanted to keep the symmetry of the design. Anyway this speaker does the job very well, I would say it is as loud as two speaker in any other phone.

Ofcourse it doesn't better than Axon 7, but still, it's good.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] roosta:
My question was more about what the other speaker hole is covering, since there is only 1 (one) speaker?! Do you still have the phone? If so, I'd really like to see a video or photo of the LED notification light?

Is there any issue with taking a phone call on SIM 2 while you are using data / 4G on SIM 1? The new snapdragon processor should allow this. I've asked the question on this board and it looks to be confirmed. Just wanted to ask this to another user opf the phone. I assume your phone was CN Shina mode, not global?

If you had global ROmM phone, I need someone to actually confirm that band 28 700Mhz is actually a confirme/working LTE 4G band on this phone. Reports conflict.

Preceisely. In dimmish light, the pictures aren't bad, in very low light/night time, the photos are horrible. Seems like a sub-par sensor despite its boost in megapixel resolution. the DOF is very shallow...can you shoot in manual mode, or change shutter, ISO, aperture?

RoOSTA
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] tibcsi0407:
I am now sporting with a Redmi 4A, but I will take some photos from the LED later. Actually it's bright and RGB, you can customize it.

The phone is dual-standby, so it should work if you have an LTE card and calling SIM. You will lose the LTE connection if you have a phone call.

From the bands I can't say anything, since we have no LTE B28 in Hungary.

The other speaker hole hides the Microphone. You should check my video linked above.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] roosta:
Thanks. You can actually access the hidden menu on most android phones that's Devs and testers use. It will show you the bands it has access to in its radio. Google instructions and maybe see if you can get a screenshot? You can check another post in this board (where I am the OP) and another user who replies has screenshot band selection menu.

RoOSTA
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] tibcsi0407:
Could you please link it? I know that you can do that on MTK, but for Qualcomm you need the LTEdiscovery app, which needs root. I don't want to root the phone because it's still not mine. :)

I forgot to answer to your camera questions. Actually I am not a good photographer, also the phone doesn't support the Camera API 2.0

It's on another board. Sorry

Suddenly interested in this phone with a last-ditch Global English RPM fully ilunlocked on all bands. Need to confirm first.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] tibcsi0407:
That's the LTE discovery. Unfortunately I can't open the bootloader on the review sample for rooting.

I have the CN version so I would say I have the same bands as the other user wrote in the linked topic.

Mediocre camera??? Lol.. are you kidding?

It sucks only at night (90% of mobiles suffer from this).. It's an ok camera.. pretty decent.

You are right , but people expect good night performance from a camera that is on a flagship device... You can't make everyone happy :). I , sincerely , love this camera because it's better than everything I had so far.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Luckzzz:
The only reason that keeps Mi Note 2 from being flagship is exactly the camera. But those (real) flagships are twice the price.. so no go for me at least for now :p
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] mbh017:
The camera of the Mi Note 2 is such a joke, so far that's the only disapointment I have with this phone...

Especially, the video quality is incredibely bad, the phone can't keep the focus, the qaulity is also very bad... and if I can accept the average photo quality, the video quality is too hard to take...

Is there any mods/something that can be done to enhance the video quality?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGTNose:
Hi everyone!

i have a galaxy tab 7.7, GT p6800. The original rom was virus infected and a factory reset would not fix this.

downloading any kind of anti virus would block the tablet completely, and it wouldn't respond until I hard resetted it.

Then i thougt of flashing the tablet, as all the tutorials on ODIN were very easy to follow, and it seemed like the only option to me, as it wouldn't factory reset either in the OS or in the recovery mode. ( I am a NOOB in this field of android, so i shouldn't have, I know. The problem is that it's a work project, and if I brick(ed) the tablet, i would be in some deep trouble)

The steps I took:

Download ODIN

download stock rom (not the original samsung one, because they didn't have it)

Boot tablet into download mode

flash stock rom with the PDA button.

I left all the options in ODIN as they were, didn't change anything as the instruction stated.

ODIN failed numerous times, so it booted up again. Then I downloaded a different rom( from KIES) and it flashed successfully this time, but when i wanted to start it up, it just showed a black screen. I can see it's turned on, but it doesn't do anything else. I can boot into download mode, but not into Recovery mode. So I can only boot into download mode, and for the rest it's not responding to anything!

Please somebody here help me, because i'm getting desperate now. Again, it's for my work project, and if it goes wrong, i am screwed beyond belief.

please note that i am completely new to rooting etcetera, and that English is not my native language. If i did anything wrong in this question or you need any more information, please let me know!

Greetings,

SGTNose

Wow...this was posted in 2016 and no responses? Uh oh...

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] KUMARC80:
For example as in Samsung mobiles at least 4 numbers can be stored in "ICE - Emergency contacts Only" Group & from locked screen there is an option to dial these numbers.

But in miui there is no such options.This is a life saving must feature required for mi4i. any number which is added in group "ICE- In Case of Emergency" should be able to called even in lock screen through Emergency tab. Suppose the mi4i user meet an accident, then the helper would be able to call ICE number which could be relative or police or hospital number. Interestingly there is provision to assign contact to ICE group, but of no use in locked screen. Developer please don't miss it. This is big drawback in Mi4i at present.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
I am interested in high quality bluetooth audio and aptX /aptX HD are preferred codec protocols for that. Now that Qualcomm acquired CSR, they own the aptX technology. On their web page there is an aptX compatibility link, where, for Motorola Phones we can see listed Moto G and Moto X, but the pictures are from the first generation phones.

For "aptX HD" I found only the latest flagship LG phones and Luna.

Is there a way to include support for aptX in our phones?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I don't believe there is. Sometimes I'm amazed at some of the simple and cheap things they left off these phones. At the manufacturer's level we're talking pennies on some things.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
I have asked Qualcomm about the Moto G4 Plus and Moto X Pure (2015) and they where nice to answer this:

"Hi, yes Moto phones should support aptX, although we havenâ€™t done any testing on these devices."

Since Qualcomm bought CSR in 2014, I don't see any development in that direction.

LE: New email from Qualcomm support:

"We do internal IOP testing on customer products but they have not provided us with Moto devices sorry."

Makes sense, only the real Moto cared to send their devices for testing. The following owners of the Moto brand (Google and Lenovo) are not interested in quality testing as much.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
Capturing the bluetooth communication between phone and some aptX capable headphones and, after that, Wireshark that file, resulted in the information that Moto G4 is aptX capable!

Did you have a chance to verify if aptX is working after applying the fix?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
AptX it works. Checked it with a few soundbars at BestBuy. Now, the AptX HD is a different story since there is only one type of LG headphones that supports it, nothing else on market. So I couldn't find a pair to test it.

is there any way i can fix and install cm rom or will i have to go stock first
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
Hello,

It's pretty hard to totally brick the NOOK tablet.

in most cases, after 8 failed boots, it automatically goes to recovery on its own and does a factory reset.

Have you let it cycle like 8 times or more in a row? I'm pretty sure you can even trick it by shutting it down during boot 8 times in a row.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
See http://bishoptec.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/.

The prescribed method will take your NT device back to stock ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

The "8 failed boot" method to invoke factory reset will only works if the NT still has stock recovery installed.

1. Boot into fastboot type "Fastboot devices" does it show up? No? > Device Manager try to see if it shows something with Kedacomm.

2. Fastboot devices shows up? > Go to the unbrick program it has a file with all partitions. Flash the missing ones that you get on your screen manually, i assume that you know how fastboot works.

3. System boots yay! But no wifi :( Reflash OOS but dont boot! Go to Fastboot and type this

"fastboot erase modemst2"

using method such as fastboot flash zip file.zip in bootloaderRUU

or rename it to 0PAJIMG and put it in sdcard and boot the phone in bootloader

I tried to flash this image with TWRP also no success (signature verification fail)

so any comments? Suggestions?

Change name of RUU to OPAJIMG.ZIP and put it to SDCARD. Reboot phone in recovery mode. That's all.
