[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] hamburglar490:
Just to give my experience so people seeing this don't immediately think this phone is awful... I've had mine (Global 6GB/128GB) for about a week and it's been great. Last phone was a Nexus 6P but I'm liking this much more. The display isn't as high resolution as the 6P but that is only really noticeable when reading small text. I don't have any issue with the display being "blueish" or poor viewing angles. GPS is also fine for me so I'm wondering if you did get a defective unit.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] ridgemagnet:
Get the phone you won't be disappointed. I have had the global edition for a couple of months and it poops on anything else .. Side by side with the Samsung S8 and this phone looks pretty much the same. It is not as fast as an S8, but then costs half as much, and it has loads more memory, dual SIMs, is still one of the fastest phones out there, and the display is plenty good enough. Maybe not the phone you should get if you find blowing ROMs exciting but if you want a phone that works really well out of the box this is it. The benchmarks appear to be better for the international edition so get that one, with 128gb. Remember that Xiaomi make more phones than Apple so you can bet it is going to be a solid product.

If the poster above actually owned the phone they would be competent enough to flip into the settings and adjust the screen settings to warm if they want a warmer looking screen. You can also set the screen to remove blue light at night if you want that sort of thing.

I am running dual SIMs with no issues internationally.. 4g is fast. The front end is Miui which is a bit quirky but has a bunch of good features built in.. And, having a 4000ma battery you can get a couple of days use out of the phone between charge on light use. The GPS is really good, helped by the fact that most of the phone is glass. So you get a fix real fast. Best phone I have ever owned for sat nav in a car. The GPS doesn't suck the battery dry either.

Camera is good, not brilliant but it's better than many Chinese phones. I am comparing to a DSLR which costs twice as much as the phone so probably a bit unfair! Double the resolution of the S8 phone...

This isn't a hacker phone.. It is a good phone that just works and has an interesting launcher with good features to help you control your privacy and battery use.. Usually the things you need to root your phone for.. With this phone you don't need to root to do that, and that is really handy. I do actually own this phone so feel free to ask questions ;)

I've had mine for going into three months now. I'm in the US using T-Mobile and I've had only one issue with it so far (I have a few issues taking calls on a wired headphones). Overall, really satisfied with it.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] X0LARIUM:
I just got mine and going to start using it. Initial impressions, it's a BEAUTY. The black one is a SEXY monolith. Very minimal in curves and subtle in design. Nothing jazzy. The bad part - Only the screen/display. Yes the resolution is a little less. But honestly, you wouldn't even notice it. 6GIGs OF RAM DUDEE! What else do you need? And 128 is more than enough. For that price, you will usually compromise on something or the other with other phones, not this one.

I have this phone for month now and it great, fast, stable, no heating, great battery life. After all I think its worth baying this phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] elialitem:
I confirm I got this phone few days ago from Gearbest, paid it 213€ with shipment included. I will now request bootloader unlocking so I can add root. I am planning to keep stock MIUI, really hoping it's going to get MIUI 9 before christmas.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] alexmanu1:
Actually , it is . Mi Note 2 has already Miui 9 in nightly realease state for the global rom :).
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] flipp0:
recently bought this phone. I also own Mi 5s and is a former owner of 5s Plus. I would say that the design and build quality of Mi Note 2 is fantastic and better than 5s Plus. However, at least for my taste, the 5s Plus has the much better screen. The pentile arrangement is clearly visible on the Note 2 and looks really bad, especially on low brightness. The camera is above average in good light but bad in low light. On 5s and 5s plus it is possible to install the ported google camera to improve low light performance, however, this app does not work on Note 2. Battery life is good on Mi Note 2 but better on 5s Plus. The sound quality and speaker is however better on Mi Note 2 compared to 5s Plus. All in all, I would say that 5s Plus is the better buy (if one dont value design and build quality very high)﻿
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] iPeck:
MIUI 9 is available for MiNote 2 buddy. Both stable and developper ROMs
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] elialitem:
I am actually going to flash AOSP Extended tonight on this device. My father owns it, and he's very used with stock android (previously had OPO with LOS). MIUI 9 from xiaomidoteu has been kinda of a so so experience, mostly because of the design of MIUI. I'd rather not go for a developer version of the official MIUI since I want him to have a as stable experience as possibile and MIUI is not a total delight for him anyway.

I understand that AOSP is not probably going to be super stable and some bugs here and there might appear, but I think it's worth giving it a try anyway.

How much money would you spend these days for Mi Note 2 Global? Is it still relevant phone for someone who needs dual SIM, big screen and full LTE support? Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] elialitem:
Still worth it if you find it for less than 240€ I think, over that price, you can easily add few tens of euros and get the Mi Note 3.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] wangdak:
Thanks. Cannot get Mi Note 3 because there is not Global version with b20 band LTE support.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] elialitem:
I see, than probably the Mi Note 2 it's your best chance. Unless you want to go monster screen size and get the Mi Max.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] alexmanu1:
Damn ..

At that price , it's like the best deal , if you ask me.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] wangdak:
Mi Note 2 Global is only Xiaomi phone with bigger screen that has b20 LTE band. Mi Max phones and new Mi Note 3 don't have Global version. Sadly.

[General Questions and Answers] GerGa00:
Hello,

I have a Galaxy S7 international and rooted Nvidia Shield K1. I lost my wallet I figured out probably somewhere in my house and have looked pretty well and could not find it. I still need to look more but am wondering if any apps make it possible for my S7 to scan for RFID chips that might be in my credit cards? Do I need a scanner to connect to my Android device to do that? It is going to be difficult to find my wallet if it is here as I was in some rooms in the basement where it is really messy.

Is this even possible if the RFID chip is not held up against the scanning tool, or could I detect a chip that is a few feet away?

If not possible..for future it would be interesting if I could put something in my wallet so that I could quickly detect it if it is in the same room.

Thanks

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] glenroebuck:
My search is over. I have been trying to find a phone that lasts when playing pokemon go without having to carry a giant battery back or recharge for an hour and a half. At first I thought it was the LG G5 - I could swap out batteries with ease but even so it was chewing through the batteries and it became a hassle. Tried the S7 edge - great battery life but to extend it required a bulky case. Moto Z - close. Oh so close. With two kate spade wireless battery packs I was good for a full day of poke hunting...but then, then I got the Moto Z play. OMG. It lasts a full day with no other boosts, no recharging, no external battery pack. Sure it is not the highest end specs but hell I never notice. With a full charge and my trusty Kate Spade battery pack?? I am good for two days of HEAVY use. (Pokemon Go uses gps, graphics, wifi if it can, location, everything on the phone..it can be very taxing.). In addition to all that, it lasts as a regular smart phone...all day, everyday. I love it. Takes nice photos, android pay works with the fingerprint scanner (cough axon 7...cough)..omg I LOVE THIS PHONE.

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] trueg:
I'm currently looking to replace my Nexus 6P. It only lasts an hour of PoGo and only a few hours with the screen off and my PoGo plus connected. My options for upgrading are the S8, S8+, G6 and the Moto Z. I would go for a Z Play or Z2 Play if they were an option.

I looked at the S8 and G6, but I didn't really like either of them. I have yet to see a Moto Z in person. The Z Play doesn't seem to be available in Canada.

After the battery issues with my 6P (it dies quickly and shuts off at 30 to 40%) I'm weary of the Pixel. The Pixel 2 won't be out for months. I love stock Android though. I'm not a fan of what Samsung has done with the O/S.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
So what's your question? Or you were just sharing your thoughts :)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] trueg:
Hmm, good point. ;)

I guess, in light of the fact that I don't seem to have access to the Moto Z Play, how well does the Moto Z run Pokemon Go? I can get it for $20 as an upgrade and I don't mind spending another $80 or so on a battery mod.

The alternatives are the LG G6 or Samsung S8, but I wasn't impressed by either. I just took my Nexus 6P for a 30 min walk and it went from 100% to 60% while playing PoGo. It dies at 30% so it would have only lasted another 20 minutes or so. Having the ability to add a battery mod is "almost" like having a replaceable battery.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
Somebody still playing Pokemon Go?! :D

Why you're not asking such question in Mot Z sub forum? If exists at all.

I had (still have but display got damn green lines) Moto X Force and Z Play has way better battery life. According reviews, Z is more powerful but not even close battery life as Play.

Alternatively, you can just cross the border and buy Play in US. It is available in Best Buy and Fry's (where I bought mine).

Does anyone know where to get the Napster mobile application that comes on the ATT Rom. I Hate the performance of the ATT rom compared to schap's but really want to be able to use the Napster Mobile on my 8525.

Where do i find the Napster mobile App. Or how do I rip it from the ATT Rom? I really need this App. I have searched the forums for Napster, But all the threads have no response.

Please Respond.. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TaRkA:
Im guessing the napster app will be hidden in the extended rom and installed on hard reset, if you have the ATT hermes try reading the link to find out how to remove the cab file.

Hope that helps somewhat.

There is a list of extended roms here (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms) but nothing about ATT.

New TWRP Image March 4, 2018

Up to date precompiled kernel from firmware WW-5.3.19

Up to date TWRP/AOSP sources, including TWRP 3.2.1-0

Unified image that may be flashed to recovery or boot partitions, or be used for tethered boot

Guide and downloads on my new TWRP thread

Upgrade Installation

Copy the new image file to your tablet, then use your existing TWRP to Install->Install Image the .img file to Recovery. Then reboot to recovery.

Mandatory step: after trying this release out, you must come back here and post whether it works or not.

(Source code on my Z380M thread.)
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] odyseus:
Good job ! It's more than anyone else has managed to do so far :)
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] diplomatic:
After looking at kernel logs and old source code, it seems like the touchscreen driver is intentionally disabled from working in recovery mode. If we had updated kernel sources, this could be fixed easily.

Try the Linux flavor of SP Flash Tool?
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flukester69:
Wow this is quite the process and twrp with no touch screen? Plz post your success to raise confidence of others like me. Last f'ng tablet I ever buy from Asus. Let's also not forget you will be stuck on this release forever afterwards.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MihaiA7X:
how do you unroot tablet after this process?
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] diplomatic:
You can try the Asus unlock tool to be able to flash with fastboot and not worry about SP Flash Tool. At least one person got it work on the Z380M. And you can always unroot/restore original boot & system images to be able to upgrade the firmware. Also, it's kind of unfair to rate a company poorly for not supporting your hacks, especially since this tablet is basically unbrickable AFAIK.

Restore the original boot image if you only have systemless root. And also the system image if you've modified it.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flukester69:
I'll give it a try at some point man, not sure about the unbrickable part, $hit happens. Do you have a reference for the guy with the 380 that flashed via fastboot? that would be the preferable method for me really.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

What is Magisk? Is it really needed? If TWRP is installed with the Flashtools can I not just flash SuperSU with TWRP? If you could clarify?

When I tried the command to flash recovery I got the following...

C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes
sending 'recovery' (13958 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.445s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: download for partition 'recovery' is not allowed
)
finished. total time: 0.452s
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] diplomatic:
What I meant by unbrickable was that you can use SP Flash Tool to talk directly with the SoC. That gives you low-level access to the flash ROM without depending on any software on it. So for example, if your bootloader or partition table is messed up, something that would brick most devices, you can flash those in without needing to get into the bootloader. I'm not 100% sure this is possible, but I'm pretty confident it is.

This is the post where the guy unlocked the bootloader. But I'm not sure he used fastboot to flash. TBH, FlashTool is not that complicated. Most of that stuff in the guide has to do with backing up your flash memory. If you wanna skip that part, that's up to you. You can just go ahead and use Flash Tool 5.1532 with the scatter file and the right download-agent to flash the recovery. BTW, you can follow that thread as well. Whatever applies to the Zenpad Z380M usually applies to the Z300M too.

Magisk is another root manager like SuperSU. SuperSU seems to have compatibility problems with this tablet. (I have not tried either.)
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flukester69:
Thanks for clearing that up... Ok I can use the 5.1532, I get that part but I don't get this part...

then

So when I press Download button in flash tool, the tablet needs to be OFF? Like powered off completely? Because nothing happens other than seeing the untrusted device (cuz it's unlocked) and the battery charging display.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] diplomatic:
Yeah, completely off. Have you installed the Mediatek USB port drivers? Where does it say untrusted device?

So after you unlocked it, have you tried fastboot flash? And you also don't need to use the 5.1532 version. I think the latest one will work too. The 1532 is just the NSA courtesy version. ;)
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flukester69:
Installed is whatever Win10 installed. I didn't try other drivers because adb / fastboot appear to work but I can try some other drivers.

Whenever I boot the tablet, it says untrusted device because the bootloader is unlocked. It says, booting in 5 seconds.

I do a fastboot reboot bootloader and I see it says fastboot ready at the bottom of the screen. When I type fastboot devices, it says my device in the list.

I tried fastboot flash recovery recovery.img if that's what you're asking (didn't work, so that's why I went with the software)
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] diplomatic:
So just to be clear, you were getting 'FAILED (remote: download for partition 'recovery' is not allowed)' AFTER you've unlocked the bootloader?

If it's not being detected by SP Flash Tool, then something's wrong with your driver installation. Remember, those Mediatek USB drivers are not the same ones your ADB and/or Fastboot drivers. Check your Device Manger, under Ports, for a device called "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android)". You have to check View->Show Hidden Devices to see it when your device is disconnected. You might have to right click and Update Driver Software to fix it.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flukester69:
I got the failed with the fastboot command not the flash tool. I'll try and install the mediatek special drivers you are most likely right that they differ from the sdk provided ones. Reading other threads I understand the flash tool a bit more too. I'll do a bit more work on it and provide feedback. Thanks for your help diplomatic.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] diplomatic:
No, I know the message is from fastboot... I'm asking if you have tried fastboot flash with your bootloader UNLOCKED. Because that message indicates that your bootloader was locked when you ran it.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] diplomatic:
Whoa, that's kind of unexpected that fastboot would not let you flash even though it's unlocked. And the latest SPFT is not letting you download either. It says it's unlocked but it's acting like it's locked. But you're really close....

That S_SECURITY_SECURE... (6045) message is just the Flashtool's version of fastboot not allowed error (locked bootloader). So you still have to use 5.1532 to flash it. That's all.

I will post a signed image of TWRP to see if that will work for you.
