[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Hemant:
damn the whole review from gsmarena is not positive especially for the LCD screen and battery life. I am quite surprised that battery life is bad considering it has 3930 mah capacity. Many on the chinese etail sites have also commented that battery life is ordinary. Seems i am going to go for iphone 8 reluctantly.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] aaatoel:
A little bit concerned with the GSMArena review, especially for the battery part. Can this be true?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] paatha13:
Total unacceptable and disappointing results from first review.

Hope was faulty device those at gsmarena hands.

I can’t imagine HTC made such epic tragic flagship release.

It’s huge DOA from me and will return the device immediately back to HTC if I’m not getting at minimum battery life the same as got with my S8 plus and very capable outdoor visibility since I’m living in a country that has 280-300 days per year sunshine condition.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] nivisan:
Did you received the phone ? can you confirm or deny gsmarena claim...
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] detritu5:
I have the phone since a week.

And don´t understand this review.

Battery life is the most awesome experience I´ve ever have. More than 10 hours SOT in 27 hours of use.

And about the screen ... I see this screen better than my old op5 in same sunlight conditions

The only handicap is that auto bright is very sensitive but no problem for me.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] paatha13:
Can you please upload a screenshot when reaching 15-20%

Also can you tell us by installing AIDA 64 the manufacture of the panel.

Or using this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.devcheck&hl=en

I remember with HTC 10 there was 2 manufactures supplier one from Sharp and one from Tianma and the first one had better outdoor visibility panel.

Thanks.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] aaatoel:
I just watched the video review of HTC U11 plus from Android Central claiming a great battery life! Actually it says that it only once needed an evening charge when on dual sim mode and watching all day YouTube videos on LTE etc. Another reason to doubt the weird GSMArena review of its battery.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] nivisan:
What did they say about the brightness issue?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] aaatoel:
Not much, just that it is attractive if not spectacular and that it lacks the awesome daylight visibility of the Note 8 and the punch of lg v30.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] lebigmac:
I'd prefer LCD over AMOLED any day.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Prot02018:
I second this. Also had the phone for a week and this battery is performing even better than my Mi Mix which had a similar sized battery. Trust me, coming from a Nexus 6p, with all the battery issues that go along with that phone, the U11+ is an absolute godsend.

I managed to get around 6 hours and 10 minutes sot yesterday before charging the phone again when it hit 15%. This included mostly watching YouTube, listening to podcasts for an hour and a half, and browsing chrome for most of that sot.

GSM review is not a good indicator at all of how this phone performs. There must have been an issue with their device or something was draining battery substantially in the background.

My advice? DO NOT let that review deter you purchasing this phone.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] paatha13:
I’ve watched 3 comparison with Note 8,Pixel 2 and Oneplus 5 and the differences in screen quality and outdoor visibility is non existing or very minor.

Only indoor in room conditions Note 8 win,but that’s normal considering Note 8 has the best panel out there,but compering only with the other 2 smartphone HTC win both indoor and outdoor visibility.

It can’t be HTC U11 Plus having only 309nits if was that true,the differences with Note 8 would have been outstanding and huge and that’s not happening in real life review and side by side in outdoor conditions as we can see the below video.

So yes GSM review is totally crap out of reality in real life condition.

Any light bleed in the lower right corner with "allways on/smart display" ?

Can you take a photo what the screen looks like with smart display turned on ?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] detritu5:
No, I don´t see nothing like that

I don´t use AOD but it seems pretty look without any ghosting or clouding issues

This is a photo compare : u11+ vs iphone 6s

Iphone looks brighter but not to much. Iphone 6s have 557 max nits I think

PD: won´t me allow upload photos on tapatalk?? WTF?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] iad77:
What usage on the phone for 5hrs sot , youtube ? spotify, browsing etc ? brightness of the screen ? wifi or 4g ? thanks!
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] detritu5:
First 50% with Auto brightness, wifi, some social media apps, browsing,youtube and 30-40 minutes of Clash Royale
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
The 300 nits on the screen is a lie
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Hemant:
Well in my urgent need of a phone and lack of reviews for U11+, tbh the review did deter me from buying the phone. Since my current phone died and not having a phone for 2-3 days i had to make a quick decision and when GSM review popped up, i sort of went ahead and have gone back to the dark side. I have got myself iphone 8 64 GB and will be getting over the weekend.

I was in 2 minds before this and would have still bought U11+ after couple of month if my current phone didnt die. Anyway working around the quirks of IOS and hoping that i would be on the dark side for a while.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Cherry_Blue:
They said that at worst it had only 4 hours of screen on time which is really bad :|
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] paatha13:
They’ve mention that the only situation the battery didn’t last until late evening day was with continuous video watching and streaming music over LTE.

Well there’s no any other flagship device out there that is capable with LTE only all day and last through late night.

Only with device with 720p screen resolution and 4000 battery capacity like Xiaomi Redmi but that’s an entry level device not a flagship.

https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_4_(4x)-8608.php

Not even my iPad last through late evening with continuous LTE video or music streaming.

And we all know iPad having the best battery life as tablet device.

9h SOT with 9% still remaining.

Although, it's unknown whether he charged the phone during the day, and he didn't say about his usage pattern.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] mick1475:
Just you, I see 9h screen time there
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] aaatoel:
Oh ok, it worked for me as well. Thanks!

Can you also please share a screenshot of the items that have consumed your battery?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] detritu5:
Of course I didn´t charge the phone but let me take a look to my screenshots. Maybe I have the graphic and the app use

I don´t have permission to upload more photos. Same like yesterday. I´m only allow to upload one image per day?? What the hell
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Phil750123:
i would be over the moon with anywhere near 9 hours screen on time. Just sold my htc 10 which had around 2/3 hours SOT and currently using M7 which probably has 1 hour SOT! anything over 5 from my point of view is good. The big battery was a massive point in me pre-ordering the phone.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] iad77:
Hey,

1. No you won't notice the low brightness. It's hard to explain, but the screen somehow looks brighter than it is, a few of our colleagues thought it had an above average brightness than our tools measures. So, no, I wouldn't be worried about this. Plus - the screen has great contrast and lovely colors, so I think you'll like it.

2. The phone easily lasts at least a day, and even two days with a normal usage pattern - using the phone before and after work, lunch time, and before bedtime.

- gsm arena reviewer on the comments section...
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] paatha13:
A more realistic SOT would be around 5-6 hours mixed usage WiFi-Data per day with 40-50% brightness level.

If I get the same battery life as my previous S8 plus would be absolute happy.

As for the outdoor visibility of the screen watching several video reviews and compared to other device side by side it’s not even existing such issue with poor visibility.

To be fair paatha13 I've yet to see a single video showing the u11+ screen outdoors. If you have you are more than welcome to link it.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] lebigmac:
At the beginning of this video you can see the U11+ outdoors.

Also notice how the high quality LCD display of the U11+ totally obliterates the cheap AMOLED of the competition.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rJLDPeUynTY
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] paatha13:
Also compered to Note 8 outdoor visibility at previous video upload post 43 I see minor differences too.

Only indoor the Note 8 is far better but that’s normal as we know Note 8 has the best screen display among all current flagship.

But compared to other flagship with OLED or LCD panel HTC U11 Plus perform better.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
Techzilla already made a new video when he clarifies all the GSMArena points:

https://xdaforums.com/htc-u11/how-to/htc-u11-plus-vs-htc-u11-video-t3713744

TL;DR

Brightness is really similar to the HTC U11, battery is extremely good, having days of 10hrs SOT and he concluded that he doesn't know how GSMArena tested, but totally disagrees with it.

:good:
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] paatha13:
Well from beginning seems very very odd al that GSM writers at review with screen brightness and battery life.

Never believed that from beginning.

I personal consider notebook check and anandtech always the more reliable sources of review among technology high end product and GSM or phonearena the less one.

And that will never change.

Btw I’ve order Mate 10 Pro will receive it tomorrow or on Tuesday so I don’t know if I eventually keep my order at HTC U11plus since I don’t want to wait such long time until being dispatched.

If being dispatched eventually sooner and not beyond 15th of December I will keep both phone for a week and decide eventually witch one I’ll keep for my daily driver.

We shall see.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Blomkungen:

Nope the U11+ is much better.

Nobody in their right mind would like to buy a oneplus 5 based on that video or any other AMOLED for that matter. ROFLMAO!
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Blomkungen:
Ah yes now I remember why I left xda. So many idiots here it hurts. The 1+5 is far more visible in the sunlight, not going to bother watching a test indoors that isn't even about the screens.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] aaatoel:
If you want to spell something, at least make sure you spell it correctly...
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] lebigmac:
yes you're right the video isn't about the screen per say but it clearly exposes the flaws of AMOLED.

LCD is so much better...

I don't understand how anybody in their right mind could buy an AMOLED phone. Apple made a huge mistake with their new phones when switching to that junk.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Blomkungen:
AMOLED is superior in every way but burnin though. Refresh rates, viewing angles, efficiency, brightness.

What are the flaws in that video you say? Because the 1+5 has better blacks and more vivid colors and is far more visible.

Clearly this is a pointless question since I will get another braindead response but I might as well ask.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] nivisan:
you are right about amoled...

so which phone are you gonna get op5t or u11+?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Blomkungen:
I have a u11+ on pre-order but I'm leaning towards canceling it. Might as well wait for the next generation as last word we got in Sweden was after Christmas.

Wouldn't mind some more solid s9 rumours to see if the screen is, still equally curved
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] paatha13:
Here’s the detail review from Android central.

At very good and high level general impression and final verdict.

https://www.androidcentral.com/htc-u11-plus-review

I don’t see any major flaw from the device.

HTC made the most complete flagship in his history and between top between all manufacturers flagship out in the market.

Majority of aspects at very high level and 1-2 not so high level but still above average at worst.

Note 8 lacks stereo speakers,lacks top quality DAC HiFi audio,lack modern Bluetooth audio codec like AptX HD and LDAC and major flaw the position of fingerprint reader.

Also battery life it’s just good not exceptional and not as good as S8 Plus.

Mate 10 Pro lacks 3.5 jack port,lacks DAC HiFi audio,doesn’t support micro sd,not support wireless charging despite having glass back.

Also camera performance is worst at video and low light compared to Samsung,Google Pixel XL 2 and of course HTC.

V30 lacks stereo speakers,only 4/64 configuration option in most countries,major issues with their screen quality as general lack reliability latest year.

Also another issues is with the availability especially in Europe.

On the other hand Google Pixel XL 2 it’s very expensive especially in Europe,lack 3.5 jack port,not support wireless charging,not supporting micro sd expansion memory and as well having quality issues with LG OLED panel.

Hi!

Really need your help :(

I flashed my phone and sold it.

Now customer claimed no network connection and sent it back.

Today I checked the phone and saw, that no IMEI were present.

I flashed the OEM ZTE image and have no clue what else could help.

Any idea?

I would try reflashing the modem, making sure you're using the latest twrp 3.1.1 and that system is mounted before flashing.

I think there is an issue with the IMEI.

I have restored them, but maybe still broken

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RedWave31:
I sometimes get problems just after flashing, and GSM/Wifi 5Ghz take up to 5 minutes to initialize. Deactivating and reactivating the sim card helps. Did u try that?

- Else, I'd get a 7.1.1 factory image and start over, that baseband is *exactly* the same as mine and I only have that "5-minutes-without-wifi-and-network" bug.

- Try looking for wifi just after booting the phone : if you only see 2.4Ghz networks and no 5Ghz network, just turn the sim car off and on, and it's ok, just that bug.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pelelademadera:
reflash a full stock firmware, if you have imei, you must have then, then if you want, do the process again to get twrp
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Sui77:
Hi Folks,

i've done some reading and my problem is a broken EFS sector due to TWRP recovery.

Even after manual IMEI restore, the EFS is broken and causes the no service issue:

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/investigation-recovering-efs-twrp-t3522171

Only option is to get a EFS copy from another device, push it on my one and change the IMEI to my own manually.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
If efs was ’restored’ using the signed twrp used for unlocking then there is no fix for that.

Hi, I believe that it's referring to the Hall sensor which detects a magnetic field. It could most probably be that in this case it's referring to the sensor for a magnetic cover. Such sensors detect the proximity of a magnet embedded in the cover or case for the device, in order to automatically turn the screen off/on when the cover is closed/opened.

[Amazfit] yannssolo:
Hello to all,

I am about to buy an Amazing Pace watch but i don't know which version to choose, i want to keep the official firmware on it.

I see that the most frequent updates are with the chinese version.

So, i would like to know if it's still possible to change the language in english from the chinese version with something like :

adb shell setprop persist.sys.language en

adb reboot

Is it possible to do that, e.g. the translation would be persistent, without necessarily changing the firmware ? I mean that maybe, on the chinese version, there are ressources files in english so it's quite easy to switch languages (cn to en, or en to cn).

If so, how is the translation level, is it good as on the english version ?

Last but not least, what is the difference between english and international version ? Are the ROM equivalent ?

Do I miss something ?

Thanks in advance for your help
[Amazfit] yannssolo:
nobody could help me ?
[Amazfit] oifi:
afaik there is an international/english version and a chinese one.

to get english language on chinese rom you have to flash PACEfied rom. Therefore you have to unlock the bootloader. For the moment this is possible thanks to [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION] for the english and chinese version.

If I was you, I'd choose the english one.
[Amazfit] HC91:
not worth of a trouble IMHO, changing the language from adb shell with "setprop persist.sys.language en" provides almost the same result :rolleyes:
