[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Sib1985:
maybe, depends on the price

its a great phone, even i ditch my galaxy note 5 for the 10 earlier this year.

but again, if i'm going to recommend this phone to others, i would say go for it if :

1. the price is below $400 (new or refurbished)

2. sound quality is the main concern

3. people who hate using cases, this phone does handle drops with no issue at all! (my son drop mine twice at 5 feet high and i have to live with a small dent at its corners for the rest of this phone's life) :p
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] deejay89:
if its 5'' instead of 5.2'' Itll be perfect to me, I'm working on stock rom not modded anything and it works really fast, but from few weeks it's done accidental restarts itself, can't wait to android 8 updat.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] nyarlathotep:
I recently purchased a second hand HTC 10 myself, I'd definitely recommend grabbing one. It pretty much ticks all the boxes for my uses, although I'm a heavy user/games/data, so my only gripe is the battery, but truth be told, there isnt a single phone out there that can promise a really decent battery anyway. I have a backup battery pack and it suits me fine. Processor is great, availability and choice of roms/kernels etc, is all really decent. Also, dont underestimate the usefulness of quickcharge =]

p.s. HTC10 is getting Oreo anyway... eventually...
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Zuneman1998:
I use the HTC 10 as a daily driver and found it to be... A downgrade. Since my previous phone was a OnePlus 3, I was hoping moving upmarket would lead to a better experience. It didn't. The oneplus phone is faster, has a better camera, still receives updates and is easier to find accessories for. I can't say the HTC has the advantage in any category besides for the speakers and headphone jack(both of which are present on the OnePlus, just less of a high point). If my as screen was not acting up on my 3, i would switch in a heartbeat
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] tokuzumi:
I'm going to have to call balderdash on the OP3 having a better camera than the HTC 10. I bought a 3T right after my 10 started having issues with battery and the speaker. Camera is decent on the 3T, but the difference in photo quality was night and day. HTC 10 took far better pictures than the 3T. If not for the battery issues and speaker, coupled with shops in the area haven't worked on an HTC 10 before, I'd still be using it today.

I did like the fact that OnePlus had nearly a stock Android experience, so updates are much more frequent....provided you join their beta program.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Ringanar:
Hey guys im looking for a new phone that isn't harsh on the budget but still delivers (currently using Nexus 5x) and im deciding between the Galaxy S7 Edge and the HTC 10 , the S7 Edge is refurbished 300 pounds and the 10 is brand new 270 pounds . I would like to hear your opinions and is it worth buying , pretty much im looking for a better performance and battery life .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pufnasti:
I'm using the s7 edge since 1,5 year. I had never better battery life, and the performance is still in the top of list I think. Before that I was a huge fan of hts one series.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] izephyr:
I would definitely recommend. Even after using it for 18 months, i'm still so happy with this. I believe there are many like me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Ringanar:
What kind of screen on time do you get . Im getting max 3 hours screen on with a total time off charger 8 hours on the nexus , my usage is kinda heavy because i like to play games listen to music on spotify and chat , and did you encounter any issues . Also is it easy to root and tinker ?

How ....is that possible which rom which kernel...?? .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Ringanar:
Also any difference between Exynos and Snapdragon versions ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pufnasti:
Yes, exynos is a Samsung fabricate, so it's better more energy efficient. I think it has also a lil bit better performance.

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Ringanar:
Thanks for the information guys i think ill buy it in a few days :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] izephyr:
Budgetise, it's a good decision.

I get 5 hours+ on 3g only and 5-7 hours if using on wifi. 5 hours is the bare minimum. I'm on Superman Rom 2.8, Notorious Kernel. Nougut. On stock, it's possible to get 4-5 (or more if you use wifi mostly)hours easily. I use custom rom for features and control. My average battery life is 12-18 hours
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shunil.scorpio01:
Mennn u seems to b experienced ..plz clear my dout m on stock getting 4-5 hrs of sot can u plzz tell me should i install roms like batman ..will i get better battery and performance ...plz ..menn xplain me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pufnasti:
Do you have exynos or snapdragon?

Exynos is more energy efficient.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Ringanar:
Is seller refurbished and pre-owned by a person basically the same? Because i found a pre-owned model that comes with the headphones , cables , otg and a wall plug thats european standard (which is what i use) and 18 month warranty. The refurbished one comes with a usb cable , sim tool and a micro fiber cloth and 12 month warranty. (The price is the same) Also the pre-owned has pictures and its in excellent condition , the refurbished claims that its in excellent but no pics.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pufnasti:
There is no reason to ask which one you should choose.

Check the imei no.-s and look is everything in fine condition. A phone in almost perfect condition can also be refurbished, and when the refurbishing was unauthorised, the warranty is already lost.

I am using Superman Rom which will give you more control on your performance and optimizations.

My device is Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Alecia1212:
Definitely, the s7 edge, for the first i am very satisfied with my purchase.performance wise its ROCKS!!!

my brother has s8+ but not even once have i felt that his phone is better than mine or anything. infact with batman rom sometimes my phone outperforms his :p

i am not a heavy gamer i just play clash royale on it. my phone usually gets through the day with just 1 charge.

n also also that edge screen is a beauty.makes it stand out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eggleston11:
Excellent phone in the exynos variant. Great performance and battery in stock - even better when modded. On Superman 2.7 and Superstock Kernel 2.9, chuck in greenify and force doze and I can easily go 3 days on moderate use (I estimate 5-8 days based on rate of battery loss, but I'm never game enough to try). No performance sacrificed in my configuration too.

I would say better then the HTC 10 in every way (although that is a very good phone too :) ) Buy the G935F if you are interested in Customs ROMs etc. Better battery life than the S8, S8+ Note 8 with pretty much the same features - grab the S8 launcher if you want the swipe up to open app drawer. Get an S8 port if you want all of the features of S8 (although i reckon the additional features are kinda useless haha).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Ringanar:
I gravitated toward the S7 Edge from your comments and after watching a battery life test video in which the S7 Edge lasted 4 more hours than the 10 and in a heat test in which the htc after 20 mins of real racing 3 got to 45 degrees and the S7 Edge was like a boss on 37 degrees.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] strifej:
Hey, I've ready 20+ threads here and it seems that miflash is the best way to go completely back to stock?

I'm on A2017U (US model) and I'm on stock through Draken's back to stock zips. If I flash a stock recovery, would that make it fully stock? I have unlocked bootloader.. does that need to be flashed too?

Just want to avoid miflash if I don't have to since it's a huge download and I read it's finicky.

I have the original recovery & boot partitions backed up using axon7tool.exe from when I first bought my phone in August 2016. If I restore those 2, would it work? Would they be out of date from the newest stock roms and cause problems?

Thx
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] WesTD:
Yes, MiFlash is the best option to get fully stock.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] strifej:
Alright, off to download. Thanks

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
EDL files such as the ones in WesTD's own stock edl images thread. of course flashing one from another model is bad. so don't.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Macieqs:
Hi,

I've connected Creative SoundBlaster SBX Pro Studio 5.1 USB Sound Card via OTG cable to my Note 4 phone, but there is a problem.

There is no sound at all, despite the fact, that I get an headaphones icon on taskbar, and SoundCards LED turns on, when I'm playing music.

Is there a way to make it work?

I'm running latest android available via OTA updates: 7.0 NRD90M
[General Topics] dexdyne:
I happen to own a PDA2K, but for this job I'd be prepared to buy any other bit of kit that was suitable

What I want is to stand at some place on the earth, and get as much information as I possibly can about what mobile networks have coverage there.

I'm prepared to agree to fit the device with a "foreign SIM", which has roaming rights on many local networks, if the device can make use of that.

I'd also like the most "live and responsive" possible display of GSM signal strength so I can test out the best location for an aerial.

So what hardware and software can I get my hands on to help?

I'm aware that I could tackle the job with a signal strength meter - but I've never found one that can tell me more than "strong signal at X MHz" ( unless it's been carefully set-up and configured for the country in question first ) A signal strength meter which could decode the operator name from the GSM signal would be a wonderful idea, but I haven't seen one.

[M.O.J.O. Android Development] Wmapa:
CM13 would be very nice. I was trying as well but my skills are to low for + no time :(

( i'm from Belgium 2 btw :) )
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] carp_be:
Same here :( only time in the weekend to do some stuff. I hope to release a new build on sunday :)
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] Wmapa:
Will you work on cm13? It is way better than android tv if we use toplauncher it is very tv friendly :)
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] EdoNINJA93:
Thank you so much, OT!

Yeah, I also would prefer a Marshmallow or Nougat based ROM, since you can do more stuff with them and you can get an Android TV experience whenever you like by simply using 3rd party launchers.

Keep it up the good work!

Main fixes I'd like to see:

- Chrome fix (I know you just have to put a separate file inside a specific folder, but it would be better to fix it by scratch by installing a fresh new and optimized ROM)

- Netflix fix

- Wi-Fi activation fix (on both CM 12 and CM 12.1 for Mojo the Wi-Fi activation works randomly after you boot the device and you have to restart the console everytime it doesn't)
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] K-Project:
While I expect the nvgcserver/Chrome fix would be baked in eventually, I think perhaps you are expecting a bit much of this poster's already-declared skill set when it comes to fixes. I'd love to see these things fixed (especially the WiFi bug - urgh!), but I'm not pressuring the individual as it is obviously just a nice weekend pass time for him/her.

However, good luck and I look forward to what comes next if it becomes possible for you. :) Clearly there are one or two of us MOJO faithful still keeping an eye on developments. Keep us posted. I'm pretty sure folks will perhaps send a donation or two your way if things do become viable for you. ;)
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] carp_be:
New release

cm-12.1-20171208-UNOFFICIAL-mojo now available :) As I don't have Netflix/Amazon , please let me know if the this new build fixed the streaming issues in Chrome. I checked the forum posts, they mentioned setting the permissions on this file. I check the source code and this should be done by default in the building process.

thanks :)

For me it's indeed a hobby project for the weekend, I really like programming but besides writing some simulation software for work projects, I'm not in the programming/embedded development business. I already did a lot of reading in the Github changes/commits on the ADT-1 (molly) and TeamRegular repo's. It should be possible to create a CM13 rom as the ADT-1 has a working rom, CM14 is not working atm on the ADT-1 so I don't expect that I could provide such update.

Currently I'm focusing on the CM12.1 branch as there is a working "rom" (see above :p ) and trying to add Android TV on this. The ADT-1 has such ROM, so it must be possible on the MOJO. I'm busy merging the changes from ADT-1 to MOJO but atm my build is stuck in a boot loop.
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] carp_be:
On which ROM do you have this problem ? I only have the AndroidTV ROM installed on my mojo and I didn't see this issue.
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] EdoNINJA93:
It happens only on both CM12 and CM12.1 roms for the Mojo.

I think the issue is kernel related, but I could be wrong.
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] K-Project:
I have experienced this on both CM12.1 and Remix OS. Two things can happen:

Firstly, if you are using an SD card in your MOJO and you have this plugged in at boot, it's a lottery as to whether or not the console will boot up with any WiFi. I'm no expert at all, but by this I mean that it appears that the WiFi module doesn't even load into the system. It cannot be turned on or off as it is all greyed out. As I say, this doesn't happen on every boot up, but is very annoying when it does.

Secondly, if you decide to fix this by not using an SD card in your MOJO, the WiFi will be better but still not great compared to the stock OS. Sometimes it never connects on fresh boots, meaning I have to go into WiFi settings and switch off and on again several times before it connects properly. Then on other times very odd things happen when it does connect. For example, quite often I have experienced when downloading big app updates for example, it seems to "flood" the WiFi if that doesn't sound silly, which results in every one in the house complaining that our router has kicked all their devices off the WiFi and they can no longer get any connection. The MOJO itself also disconnects when this happens. The only thing I can do then is to reboot the router.

I am assured none of these things happen on the stock OS.

Good luck with your builds. I myself would love to see CM13, as I use a modified TV Launcher to polish things off. My fear with the Android TV system is it won't recognise my 2TB external drive, which would mean I couldn't use it. Remix had issues with it also. CM12.1 has no problems at all mounting it and allowing me access to my media files.
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] rahsoft:
Great work ! Tested - nothing broken :cool:

Keep going !
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] carp_be:
no luck today with AndroidTV, did several builds but after Android boots and optimizes it's App's and then it got stuck in starting the App's :(. I've not found a way yet to read out debug info during boot, so i'll invest some time on that subject. Next weekend the hunt continues.

I've not seen this on the AndroidTV build of Unjustified Dev, so i'll diff it once with my build and see if there are driver changes.
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] EdoNINJA93:
Could you please provide a feedback about Netflix and Wi-Fi issues?
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] nono2lozere:
Replace

persist.sys.usb.config=none

by

persist.sys.usb.config=adb

in default.prop and build.prop, this will enable usb debuging during boot.
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] K-Project:
More info plz!

Is WiFi any better? What apps do you use?
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] rahsoft:
I dont use Wifi - I use ethernet. Heard that Wifi works better without microsd in slot...

From what I tested - everythink works like before. I mean no new bugs :cool:

Some programs and Youtube on some videos just silent closes.... But this was on all CM 12.1 builds for mojo. Sound volume bug is still here but it is not critical.

Is it any way to add ethernet interface / config settings ?

P.S. Programs used: HD VideoBox, Torrent Stream Controler, MX Player, VLC, Archos Video player (for SPDIF), Youtube, Chrome, Total Commander, Simple Reboot, Set Orientation, SuperSU and so on...

P.S.2. Maybe it will be better set dpi to 240 in build.prop by default...
[M.O.J.O. Android Development] carp_be:
The playback issues could be related to DRM content. I saw that the CM build don't have the "google widevine" libraries included, while the AndroidTV build has. I'll include this in the next update,might solve the issue. Otherwise If you get a logcat file, the exception thrown by the app could shed some light what is needed.

besides this I think there is a "bug" in the "OMX.Nvidia.h264.encoder" configuration. currently it's

<Limit name="size" min="48x48" max="1980x1088" />

, while ADT-1 has a "lower" resolution specified...

<Limit name="size" min="48x48" max="1920x1088" />

I don't know what the effect of the type is but I'll adjust it to in the next build.

DPI can be changed to 240, will do (need to adjust ro. sf.lcd_density in system.prop file) .

[M.O.J.O. Android Development] rahsoft:
Maybe You have updated Ace Stream Media (Beta) ? I had same problem. First time I was heavily playing with build.prop so decided that I did somethink wrong. Reflashed, installed all - good. Installed last Ace Stream (dec 14) - and f#cd.... Rebooted in TWRP, manualy deleted org.acestream.... from /data/app and /data/data. Wiped Dalvik - and it live again :cool:

Using last non beta Ace stream (3.1.19.1) - works perfect.

New release is in :) cm-12.1-20171216-UNOFFICIAL-mojo

This might fix some of the media playback issues as I changed the encoding/decoding configuration and added "support" for the new google encoders and decoders.

I already made some small progress on AndroidTV support from CM, but almost All apps were crashing :/

But still no progress on getting adb working :( so still pretty blind with debugging.

I added "persist.sys.usb.config=adb" to the build.prop but my mac still can't recognize the mojo (tried the usb 2/3 port). with the latest build it's now default enabled so I don't know what i'm doing wrong. If someone could check what extra needed to be done I would be grateful.
