[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] polartux:
Unfortunately, it's impossible to fully debloat the newer MIUI ROM's.

I have clean

xiaomi.eu ROM

on my mi4a and I am sure it's independent of the device, I still have my phone making malware requests to chinese servers such as:

These addresses are hardcoded into all system MIUI .apk's and replacing them in a HEX-editor will result the phone into looping a such error on system boot:

Thus, today I decided to stop using MIUI ROMs forever.

You could add something like this to your /system/etc/hosts file, which should block all those requests:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] polartux:
Thank you, but it sounds more like a temporary solution for me, which doesn't fix the problem at its roots.

I could have blocked requests by rewriting hosts, but there is always a human factor present, which can make me forget about /etc/hosts file while I mess with system in a way that may affect this file by removing/replacing/modifying it (hypothetically).

Moreover, I have tried that method before and it doesn't work without modifying/creating some iptables rules and making them persistent at the boot time by creating some sh boot scripts, as default iptables xiaomi rules prevent the device from using /etc/hosts records whose objective is breaking MIUI telemetry functionality (at least on newer MIUI's).

Also, living by accepting the fact I have some spyware on my phone is not the best solution, at least for me.

Luckily, there is an official AOSP Extended build for my device, which is being maintained, thanks to Carlos Arriaga.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
I hear you. That is why I abandoned MIUI too. Someone on this forum labelled me as "paranoid" for this, and my response was "each to his own".
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] polartux:
Wow, probably the person called you so has nothing to hide.

I express deep respect to people who consider privacy and security seriously.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
There are other interesting arguments (which I personally don't buy) that people make, including the argument that "everybody else is collecting your data anyway, so what's the problem"?

If I were a MIUI fan, I would probably also find some ways of convincing myself that things are not that bad - after all, I have to find a way of justifying to myself my continued use of it. At the end of the day, it still is a matter of "each to his own".
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] polartux:
Saw it several times as well, some people are just too lazy to find ways to secure their digital life and prefer to think that it's impossible by continuing using closed source software and hardware.

I don't count with their opinion, because people with such type of thinking are targets for big data corporations to make money on them.

We indeed have enough open technology instruments to prevent leakage of our data, so those who care will do.

I personally was a big fan of MIUI, but these circumstances forced me to stop using it. I don't need to convince myself to use it because it's privacy-unfriendly, for the same reason i don't use Apple and Microsoft production.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
Ditto. It is all quite unfortunate. Somebody will eventually come up with a way to clean the system apks, and prevent the "dial home" stuff (some of it will involve cleaning up some stuff in the boot image) - but it seems to be getting almost impossible to really clean things up.

Hi,

i will be in paris next two days and wondering is there any shop or place selling touch cruise or O2 XDA Orbit 2.

can you help

Thanks
[Touch Cruise General] imfloflo:
Try surcouf if you have luck there are maybe 1-2 mobile, or ThePhoneHouse.
[Touch Cruise General] Ziggy95:
Try Fnac Also.

I found 1 today in Fnac Thiais. It was delivered this morning so with luck, you will find 1 in other FNAC (La défense, Champs Elysées ...) because they are receiving htc touch cruise.

Look this link before and verify every day disponibility in Fnac shops:

http://www4.fnac.com/Shelf/article....ID=01D88F4FB-D370-12E7-883E-F2EA3C590D1D&Fr=0

The button with disponibility disappears, i think all cruise are solded

Good luck

Rom 18.5.B.0.26

Android 4.4.4
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kgor93:
The difference isn't as big this year compared to years past, they are both similar in performance. That said, I'm leaning towards the Exynos just because of how much of a pain in the butt it was with rooting the Snapdragon model. Exynos was easy to root but the Snapdragon only got root because of a leak and it was unstable and laggy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ewokuk:
You are asking which one is better for a phone that isn't out for another 2.5 weeks?? And you can't say they are similar in performance based purely on a spec sheet! The spec sheet shows the exynos able to do 120fps at 4k, but it can't because the camera itself cannot perform at that speed so its still limited to 30 despite the exynos chip being capable of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Both SoCs and GPUs are too new to make any assumptions. Here's an article discussing S-835 on a Qualcomm reference device. It underperforms S-820/1 in certain benchmarks. http://www.anandtech.com/show/11201/qualcomm-snapdragon-835-performance-preview. Architecturally the new Mali GPU is superior to Adreno. What features Samsung implements and how they implement them is a wild card. When Samsung uses two SoCs in the same phone they typically tune them to be comparable as was the case in the S7-series even though Exynos did seem to have an edge. To an average user they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an Exynos and S-835 equipped S8.

I've said this a couple of times in other threads. Exynos 8895 has new chip-based h/w security never before seen in an Exynos chip. Until its in people's hands it's dangerous to assume previous bootloader exploits will work the same way they did previously.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] StuRoid:
One difference that the Exynos seems to have but not sure how many people will notice. On the Samsung website and a couple other carrier sites state that the device the UK is getting only has Bluetooth 4 and not the newer Bluetooth 5 that the US and snapdragon market are getting. Wonder what other differences there are that aren't being advertised.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
International versions getting a different version of BT doesn't make a lot of sense. They hyped being able to support two headphones connected at the same time during the unveiling which requires BT 5.0. I don't think they would have done that if the majority of the world wasn't receiving the feature. Carrier websites aren't particularly accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] StuRoid:
You may have missed that part where I said it's shown on the Samsung website too. In the U.K it's showing as BT 4.2 LE. It's possible that the new BT 5.0 isn't compatible with the Exynos chip for some reason or just not optomised to work well together yet. Also that launch was predominantly geared towards the US market as almost no information regarding the international versions was spoken about on stage.

I am pretty certain thats a mistake, there are mistakes over the web on the phone specifications. The global S8 specifications say Bluetooth 5.0
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] The Phone Company:
"Exynos 8895 has new chip-based h/w security never before seen in an Exynos chip."

What EXACTLY does that mean. Because whenever I read or hear term, "security" it raises eyebrows. This is umbrella terminology for those in a state of fear requiring reassurance, but to those who don't carry around such weighted down impedances it would be interesting to know exactly what is implied here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] StuRoid:
Yeah the specs are all over the place at the moment. I'm putting a tiny bit more weight behind what is on the official Samsung UK website that my pre-order leads me to which is saying it has BT 4.2. But one UK carrier (EE) is claiming it has Snapdragon 835, and another carrier (Three) is claiming BT 4.0 so nobody seems to be on the same page in the UK. Anyway I'll know for certain next week as my pre-order is arriving 20 April.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
"The Samsung Galaxy S8 is the first of its kind in the United States, and it is the first of its kind in the world Up to 24 bands worldwide. Samsung offers with the new S-Class for the first time in a smartphone Bluetooth 5.0, which is integrated both in the version with Snapdragon 835, as well as with Exynos 8895-SOC."

The Exynos is roughly 10% faster in single core and multi-core than the snapdragon (Geekbench, above video). You would hardly see a difference in most day to day use as both are pretty fast.

But the Exynos 'Mid Power Saver' which downclocks the CPU gives you the same performance as the the 835, so the exynos would obviously be better as you can have the same performance with more battery life (assuming it does save power)

My Exynos Edge 7 plus did not suffer any slow down over time while Snapdragon version crawled to a stop
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Eddie Hicks:
I've had my Snapdragon S7 Edge since they were first released. My phone is still working great. It has nowhere crawled to a stop. Maybe for some reason some of the Snapdragon S7's slowed down but mine certainly hasn't. As a matter of fact the only reason I'm getting a S8 is because my S7 Edge has an over sensitive screen. If that wasn't an issue I would keep it for at least another year. There is no way I would do that if it slowed to a crawl.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
Exynos Should always be in theory. It's in house processor and Samsung can do what they want and how they want with the software. So it should always be better optimized as you know exactly every aspect of the hardware.

First things first: This is a crosspost from https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-Z-Play/Bottom-part-of-screen-non-responsive/td-p/3630276. Hope this is ok.

Hello,

I have a problem with the touch screen. I noticed that pressing the home button isn't recognized every time. Sometimes nothing happens (no vibration, nothing).

So I investigated a little: I turned on the developer settings, enabled the "Pointer location" option so that the OS shows the path where I drag my finger.

I then dragged my finger from the bottom left/right of the screen into the bottom center in different arches. You can see the result in the attached file on the left side. (I combined all screenshots into one image)

What I came to find is that apparently there's a dead zone in the middle of the bottom of the screen!!! I have marked this area approximately with a red ellipse on the right side of the attached screenshot.

What can I do to remedy this issue? Do I have to RMA my phone? Can I solve this with a screen recalibration myself?

Please advise,

Best regards,

Chris
