[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel_loft:
Hello dear community,

I've been thinking of trying some NFC buttons for a while. Dimple.IO and Air Button have caught my interest some months ago but never acted on that interest. Until now...

And, since I didn't want them to fail from the start, I checked the responsiveness of our beloved OnePlus 5 to NFC tags in general. The results are pretty disappointing...

Basically, if you don't want to cover the camera module with the tag, you only have the indicated sensible areas on the phone (solid red, see attachment). In any other area, the tag is not recognized.

I could understand OnePlus' decision to put the antenna there. There is not much non metallic surface left on the back of the phone. But this placement might prove itself rather bad for the integrity of the camera (at least most of us don't use NFC that often) and it is certainly making the use of the mentioned NFC buttons impossible.

What are your opinions on the subject? Has anybody else tried to pair the OnePlus 5 with an NFC button? Has the placement of the NFC antenna ever bothered of annoyed you?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] DevSquad:
Well, the result is as expected with a metal phone. NFC works OK, but you do need to hold it in a certain way.

On my OPO it was much simpler since it had a full-back NFC antenna.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] B0unze:
If I use my phone to pay at a terminal I can have it away a pretty decent distance for it to work so I'd say the nfc is pretty good.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel_loft:
[MENTION=7683770]DevSquad[/MENTION]: I understand the implications of a metal back. (good and bad) [MENTION=7475520]B0unze[/MENTION]: The terminal has an signal amplifier, so longer communication distances are possible. On the other hand, tags are passive, everything is done by the phone, hence shorter distances are needed.

Well, I guess it is just my specific case and I will have to live with the situation. I wish the NFC antenna would have been placed along the top edge...
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uselessjunk:
AFAIK the NFC antenna is embedded into the upper edge of the protruding camera lens. Its barely noticeable, but you can see it.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel_loft:
I thought it s all around the camera protruding. My bad... lack of info...

Then it makes sense that NFC tags are only activated around that area. Oh well... Too bad...

Small story about HTC support

One month ago, when I've first called the HTC support to report the sound volume problem on my Polaris (French ROM), I've also reported to HTC that, into their support site, they don't put the Touch Cruise (only the Touch and the Touch Dual was selectable).

The person I talk with told me that on their side (HTC internal) they have this option and that, the Touch Cruise will surely appear into the list soon.

By checking the HTC support site today, I can't see the Touch Cruise but "better", the Touch Dual have disappear :-)

Welcome to the great HTC Web support site ! :D
[Touch Cruise General] foxone:
And to be even more confusing, the Touch Cruise-page is there, it just don't have any links to it..

http://www.htc.com/support/support_htctouchcruise.htm
[Touch Cruise General] TheOnly1:
Just register with HTC e-club and you will get by e-mail notifications of all updates if any. ROM updates for example are visible only to e-club members.
[Touch Cruise General] Abbsta:
Did a month ago but the funny thing is that you can't choose the handset to check for updates since it's not listed.
[Touch Cruise General] TheOnly1:
I also had a P3300. As soon as there are ANY updates you will get a pic of the phone with a link to all available updates. So far there are simply NO updates on htc.com for our TC.
[Touch Cruise General] academic:
I fully agree with your statement. What I find very strange is that the Touch Dual (who was present last week) have now disappear :-)
[Touch Cruise General] devin2:
Hi but only for the originals HTC Touch Cruise....

For exemple the touch cruise buy in France with SFR, the serial Number is not ok for HTC and we can't acces to the Touch Cruise Support ....

:mad:
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
Currently, there is nothing to get from the HTC Support Center, so don't worry, but do contact HTC for this issue.
[Touch Cruise General] TheOnly1:
AFAIK HTC accepts only non-branded devices for registration. On the other hand: Be pretty sure that everything that comes up on HTC's site will be available in 10 min here :D So no real chance to miss anything important. The P3300 WM6 upgrades were first released in Asia (Europe almost 4 months later) and XDA-Developers was the place to get them :D
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Apart from having to add gapps and some Chinese bloat, is there any other downside to sticking with the Chinese ROM?

What upsides are there if any?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Can anyone reply please? I've found one at an excellent price and want to snag it before it goes.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Elanzer:
You can keep using the chinese one and have it fully functional, but some polish is missing and some aspects of MIUI will be chinese even with the language set to english. The biggest one I noticed is the theme and wallpaper store - it's always chinese, and even the same themes downloaded under the chinese theme store are different (I think the chinese store doesn't allow icon packs?). Searching for themes by their english name doesn't work on the chinese theme store either.

There's also a lot more china-specific settings and services that are just gone in the actual global ROM, the global ROM is much more barebones (uses less memory too) than the chinese ROM and not everything can simply be uninstalled in the chinese rom without root, just hidden. The global ROM basically just comes with google play services and common google apps, MIUI replacements for AOSP basic apps like calculator/calendar/weather/browser/music/etc and is as bland as possible to appeal to a larger audience.

Global rom is definitely a better experience, but you CAN use the chinese ROM just fine. I did for awhile until the global ROM came out, flashed it immediately because I wanted a cleaner OS with ~10 less random chinese apps sitting in the app drawer.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Vennesch:
Just buy it and flash Global Rom on it
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Thanks for the reply. I'm not particularly bothered by that stuff, I just want regular ota updates and miui 9. I've heard that some notifications have a problem on the Chinese rom and Google contacts has a problem syncing. Did you find that?

I don't really want to mess around with the phone at all. I'm not a flash/mod disciple.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] joseki@rogers.com:
My Mix 2 has Chinese rom and I find it OK after I installed the Google installer app. I stopped all Chinese roms that I do not need. With 256 GB, I do not worry about the stopped Chinese roms eating into the memory.

My Mix 2 has Chinese rom and I find it OK after I installed the Google installer app. I stopped all Chinese roms that I do not need. With 256 GB, I do not worry about the stopped Chinese roms eating into the memory. I heard that Chinese rom gets update more quickly.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Thanks for the replies. I've ordered it with the Chinese ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Just a quick update to say that the Chinese rom is perfectly ok for me. No glaring issues at all.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Luxor3228:
Everything OK

I have the same experience after a week using the China ROM on my Redmi 5 Plus

With China ROM I was able to delete 80% of china bloatware and everything else runs just fine and smooth, calls, GPS, email, etc. (with Gapps) so if you never flashed a ROM before, I recommend to keep the China ROM instead of the Global :)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] cyingyo:
Haha, many Chinese flash the global rom just for the clean OS and the AOSP notification bar.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] nigelm77:
If I was to get the device with the Chinese ROM installed is it simply a case of downloading the global ROM from the mini website and installing it via the updater app or will the bootloader need to be unlocked? Seen a couple of good deals but all for the Chinese version.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] jkotte:
its not so easy, you need to get a unlock approval from xiaomi, then you need to wait to unlock the bootloader, and then you can flash whatever you want.

From getting the approval to the finished unlocked bootloader, it will take about 3-5 days
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] samuelpc:
i am looking to purchase mi 9 once it is released in china, but how long does it take for the MIUI 10 global rom available to download?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] GWARslave119:
I think I mightve flashed the chinese rom, not sure. Are you able to change the region in Settings? I cant... (screenshot)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
I don't use the phone any more (gave it to my son) but I never changed the region and it didn't make any difference. Phone ran and still runs flawlessly.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] GWARslave119:
Well I'm wondering if that's why my phone keeps trying (and failing) to contact/activate my sim card when trying to use Mi Cloud..
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Ah ok. You need to deactivate your Xiaomi account for the phone. Registering throws up all sorts of stuff including ads etc. After that you should be good to go.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] GWARslave119:
It's just bugging me that I can't use something that is part of the phone. I also can't use the Mi PC Suite either, it doesn't detect my phone. Not that it's dire, just the fact that it won't work irks me ;p I'm using Havoc rom atm anyways, but knowing me I'll be switching around a lot

Great job, thank you so much for your work.

One question, is there a way to enable permanently clear phase or xloud option? Every time i reboot, option is set back to off position.

Edit: it reset off every time the app is fully closed then reopened
[Sony Cross-Device General] kanej2006:
Do you happen to have a modded tasha file or know how to modify it?

Previously I did flash this mod on my XZ Premium. It did work and was fantastic.

There was just one issue. When making phone calls, there is no sound/mute. The other person is able to hear me but I am unable to hear them.

If this can be easily fixed I'm happy to re-flash this mod and edit or use a modded mixer tasha file, however, I do not have the knowledge to do this.

I did try this previously, but does not work. After 2 attempts, it fu*ked up my phone's UI and colours and sound was cutting off, buggy. I had to restore the stock mixer paths tasha file which thankfully restored the phone to how it was before.

Ed's mod is the best, period, will never use any other mods apart from his own, cannot compare. :D

Everything is perfect with this sound mod, no bugs or issues plus you can actually hear and feel a difference.

[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Nope mediavibration isn't included cuz it's related to framework I guess and it needs to be modified.

XZ2 files sound way more clear and bit Louder than XZP libs, so definitely an improvement, also mix is fixed compared to v3. Just check Changelog
[Sony Cross-Device General] Doom Slayer:
Tried on XZP, found out that mic is over sensitive: records cracking noise in a silent room. Other than that it's cool.

For those who have the same issue, I am attaching a file which need to be placed at system/vendor/etc with rw-r-r permissions.

Would this work in stock Oreo firmware from Xperia X?

EDIT: it doesn't work. Tried v4.5 for XZ/XZs/X Performance (which AFAICT are more closer to Xperia X hardware-wise than XZ Premium) and ended stuck at the boot animation (it didn't freeze but never finished) and with messed sensors (proximity, light, accelerometer, gyro -- all gone) after restoring the system backup I took before installing the mod. However it was easy to fix the sensors issue, if it happens to you all you need to do is to reflash PERSIST partition from stock FTF.

Then I looked inside the ZIP file, for XZ/XZs/X Performance, the libraries and other modified files go inside /system/vendor, although /system/vendor exists on Xperia X, all audio-related files seems to be located directly at /system. I'll try to manually install the mod to /system instead, then I report back...
