[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
It may be the codec being used. I have used a multitude of bluetooth headphones with no issue.

Have you made sure to install the sony app for the headphones? Try some other codecs under developer options, they all sound the same but some do cause issues such as LDAC

Switching to such an inferior phone as the S9+ for battery life and iffy camera is not a solution. You just need to know phones and adjust the settings.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

His headphones should be using aptx or LDAC. AAC is a rubbish codec and should not be used, unless you love Apple.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Neo_Sk8eR:
WF-1000X do NOT support LDAC, they're the truly wireless pair, SBC and AAC only.

AAC is far from inferior and blows SBC out of the water.

Especially if you're only listening to mp3s from spotify or google music.

There is no truly wireless pair that supports Aptx or LDAC yet.

Even the bose that come with the huawei don't support either of those codecs, SBC or AAC.

To be fair the this phone, I have not tried any LDAC or Aptx headphones with it, all i know is that with these wf-1000x and the bose qc35s, this phone could not cope at all and the other 2 worked without issues.

And calling the s9 inferior is just plain stupid, having tried both side by side they both have their pros and cons. It's to each person's individual tastes and needs.

They both do things better than the other and after trying both cameras, s9 all the way because all my photos are in the moment, no time to sit there trying to get the settings right

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] funziebear:
So I got my phone yesterday and installed all the stuff I usually use , question is why does Netflix and other streaming apps look horrible on this phone ? Is it because of the screen ? I was using an old iPhone 6 as a temp while I waited for this and video looked so much nicer on that screen even on 480p. Anyone else think the playback on this is bad or is it just me ? I did have a note 8 but I sold it to try this phone, wanted to try something new. I know lcd and amoled are on each device but I don't think it should be that bad of a difference if I think an iPhone 6 looks better , any thoughts ? What's your experience with this coming from another phone flagship or not ? :good:

This is over data and wifi and both have decent speeds for netflixing or even YouTube IMO

Two different apns for T-Mobile in s.california

Edit also binge is off on my account
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] MI1990:
Hi,

im thinking to buy this phone , can you explain what do you mean that looks bad ? can you take a photo of the "issue" with another phone ?

thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] initialdwiko:
I think I just found the problem to this. Correct me if I am wrong.

I believe there seems to be the same problem with mix 2. There is a licensing called widevine L3. And it only let's the device play on SD quality. Not HD. so... I think we are in a bit of a dilemma.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] funziebear:
From what I'm reading Netflix isn't a app fault it's a phone thing it won't play anything pass 480p because of drmservices , I fixed YouTube with a moded version set it to 1080 on default I'm looking for a Netflix fix but I doubt will get one
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] initialdwiko:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] MI1990:
can other people confirm that issue ?

is very disappointing in case , would be good to know if will be present in mi mix 2s global version as well.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] malimukk:
I just checked with DRM info app. The device supports only widevine level 3. But level 1 is required for netflix in hd,unfortunately.

It is just a matter of software (free of any licencing fees), though, we might ask xiaomi to implenent it..
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] funziebear:
I did send suggestion thru their feedback section I think we should all do it maybe they'll actually do something about it
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
You would have been better going a bit more in-depth, asking them specifically to add Widevine Level 1, to enable HD streaming

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Also, has anyone with the Android P Beta checked the DRM info to see if Widevine L1 has been added?, If not can someone check please, thanks :good:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] funziebear:
I did I told them about drm and how Netflix has a link to devices that are compatible with hd playback , the video playback on this is bugging me almost makes me want to go back to something else hahaha
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
What ROM you on, Global or Chinese?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] funziebear:
Chinese , did the older mix phones have this issue on global roms ? I'll wait for that if it doesn't make things better I'll just sell this and get something else I use my phone for everything and ****ty video quality will bug me hahaha
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
I believe all Mi Mix iterations have the issue, regardless of the ROM. BUT!, Widevine is owned or whatever by Google, so with Google giving the Mix 2s the Android P Dev Previews, I wonder if they would have included the L1 DRM for HD streaming
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] funziebear:
Wish I would have known video playback sucked on this I would have waited hahahaha or gotten something else I was just trying to avoid a notched screen. Oh well trial and error hahaha
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
I believe the only "big" streaming services that are affected are Netflix and Amazon Prime, other playback should be HD... I think lol. Hopefully someone can confirm whether or not L1 is in the Dev Preview so we know what to expect
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] MI1990:
It's an absolute disaster from Xiaomi , i was near to buy the phone , i think they just lost a customer (unless global will have everything fixed but i don't think so)

i'm embarrassed for them , mi mix 2 and 2s are supposed to be flasgship
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] malimukk:
Its the same with oneplus.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Again, if anyone knows someone who's running the dev preview, please get them to check, we'd appreciate it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] barcode99:
I don't think it's how it works with Netflix. Even if your device has software and hardware compatible with Netflix level of DRM, Netflix still will need to certify it, before you will be able to watch HDR10 resolution
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] temporarium:
That's why we root and install custom ROMs ;-/
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] MI1990:
Cause Xiaomi and others brand are "lazy" we are forced to root and put custom rom ? not really good

i was just asking to my possible new xiaomi phone flagship to be able to watch and download content in 1080 from netflix and prime , as far i know you can't with root anyway (can't download offline)

Can you confirm ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
It doesn't matter if your rooted or not, or running a custom ROM, until Xiaomi adds Widevine L1 to the device, no one with a Mix 2s will watch Netflix in HD... That being said I still haven't received confirmation for if they've added it in the Dev Preview
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] MI1990:
Someone with Mi Mix 2s tried that solution?

I really want the phone but this missing "feature" make me crazy(anyway are not millions the phone that support L1 drm to be honest).

Anyway Netflix state here https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23939

"In addition to the models listed above, you can stream Netflix in HD on devices powered by the following chipsets. Check with the manufacturer of your device to confirm hardware specifications:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Ulver:
Maybe when Xiaomi finally posts the global ROM for the Mix 2S, it will happen.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Homestar1217:
Reviving a dead thread here, has anyone confirmed whether the Android P Dev Preview changes anything regarding the Widevine certification? My hopes aren't high, just curious.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] random_crit:
Too lazy to find the post, but there is somewhere something that also Android P and MIUI 10 will not help...

But realy, you can carefully google: this problem does not stay within Xaomi, you also find it on other high-end phones :p
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Homestar1217:
This is a silly problem to have for such a nice phone, and from a phone maker that started off making custom roms of Android. The certification process for L1 is free, it's just laziness that prevents these devices from being certified.

I honestly can't say this will bother me unless other apps like ESPN or Fox Sports Go are unable to stream in HD which I haven't tried yet. But Netflix and Amazon Prime, I can't remember the last time I used either of those on my phone. I use my Surface typically instead because it's bigger.

In short, I hope Xiaomi certify the device but if they don't it's not the end of the world I suppose.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
(I'm an idiot and apologize for posting false information lol)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Homestar1217:
How do you know the Mi 8 is L1 certified? Are they already out?

Idk why I care, I bought the 2S to avoid the notch because I think it's hideous on ANY phone. I'm quite happy with my purchase, and as I said so long as only Netflix and Amazon are affected I'm not too mad.

Though I definitely believe the problem could be resolved with a software update.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
My bad, I was under the assumption that the Mi 8 had L1, my mistake, there's a thread on XDA where 2 people have posted screenshots showing it only has L3
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] random_crit:
If you google, you can find information that the phones with L1 is limited.

E.g. OnePlus, Xiaomi, Huawei and for sure other cheap phone companies only bring L3. On all their phones up to date.

An exception to this is, that some OnePlus 6 phones come with L1, while other come with L3.

To prove, I add:

- a screenshot of the rather new Huawei p20lite running stock ROM

- a quotation: "And this brings us to another point: not every flagship device out there supports L1, and are therefore not able to output HD video from Netflix. Some cases of flagship phones not supporting Widevine L1 despite having the hardware capability include any OnePlus phone and the ZTE Axon 7/M which are backed by Widevine L3 instead of L1. Other flagships like the Google Pixel 2 XL do feature full support for Widevine L1." cited from https://www.xda-developers.com/android-netflix-hd-amazon-prime-video-hd-drm/

btw. if the infos I found are correct, you lose L1 by unlocking bootloader or flashing custom ROM anyways, as L1 requires a secure bootloader.

Proofs for this:

- a screenshot of a Samsung galaxy s4 mini running RR-OS custom ROM based on android 8.1.0

- https://xdaforums.com/general/help/widevine-drm-level-1-root-t3805991
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] guildamx:
I also own a Samsung S7 Edge running a custom rom (Oreo devbase) and can confirm L3 on both devices. Still I really couldn't tell the difference with L1.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
L1 is HD, L3 is SD
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
As far as I'm aware it 100% depends on the OEM, OnePlus 6 users have L1 with a locked bootloader and L3 with a unlocked bootloader, however I'm on a LG G5 H850 Bootloader Unlocked running XenonHD 8.1 and have L1, I've attached a screenshot from the DRM Info app
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] guildamx:
I am aware of that. But I am 100% sure that I can view Netflix and Amazon Prime Videos in HD. I cannot tell the resolution but it is not SD, meaning less than 720p.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] LTKred:
MIX 2S Global has L3.

I previously had the OnePlus 5 and to get L1 HD support, I had to send my device to OnePlus for it to be enabled.

As far as I'm aware (someone correct me if I'm wrong), to go from L3 to L1, can't be done via software update and must be done on an "officially authorised" machine for security purposes, as it requires unique DRM Keys, at least that's how OnePlus explained it...

So I wouldn't hold out any hope for Xiaomi to give us L1 support.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Unfortunately without confirmation from OEM's or really experienced developers, we won't get a definitive answer, the guy a few posts up had a L1 Samsung then unlocked the bootloader and went to L3, my LG however was L1 on locked bootloader and is still L1 after unlocked bootloader (according to DRM Info App) the "officially authorised machine" your referring to is what OnePlus said in the statement regarding the OnePlus 5T, I also seen in a Asus thread about getting DRM libs from a Pixel factory image, it all seems a bit up in the air but I seriously doubt Xiaomi will address this never mind "fix" it, no version's of the Mix series had L1 and neither does the any of the most recent Mi 8 series (unless Explorer Edition does but I doubt it)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] LTKred:
Yeah I completely agree, Xiaomi certainly won't be helping us with this. Tho I think if it were as easy as grabbing libs from a factory image we'd have seen some progress by now. For me it's not a huge deal, I watch Netflix on my TV, where it's meant to be watched lol
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Homestar1217:
I'm almost 100% sure that my Nexus 6 would still play in HD when the bootloader was unlocked. Well, make that 70% sure. I use it so little for Netflix and Prime that I truly can't recall. If I want to watch a movie I have tablets for that. My phone is for YouTube and occasional sports and those both play in HD.

That being said, I have no faith in Xiaomi to fix this with software. I have every faith that someone on this forum who cares will make it happen ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
As far as I'm aware there's a modded APK of Netflix floating round somewhere that allows you to watch it in HD, it seems a lot of people are salty about the DRM thing just because they haven't got it, I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of people commenting on it didn't even use Netflix or Amazon Prime lol

It doesn't fill the screen on my mix 2s. I have getsture mode on. No onscreen buttons. App navigation or playback dont fill the screen on the hacked version theres a gap at the bottom of the phone, it does work on the current playstore version, you can zoom to fill or see the correct aspect with small gaps left and right.

I cant tell the difference between the hacked version and the current playstore version in terms of quality. They both look hd to me. I have global rom 9.5 stable with locked bootloader. Widevine L3. Maybe netflix use other tests as well as widevine to determine hd streamint and download. They allude to that in their blog stating that widevine is not reliable on all devices and that hd is available on sd 845 devices.

First when I bought Mi Mix 2s I feel that I've been able to download shows in HD(720p) but when I unlocked it I can only download shows in SD(480).

Can anyone with locked bootloader and stock firmware download for example first episode of the 3rd season of breaking bad and tell here how much does it weight?

Very bad news , can't someone else give feedback to understand if works or not ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Andy4Shurr:
In terms of quality, it doesn't go past 480p. You can check this by playing a video in Netflix called Test Patterns.

The modified app will enlarge to full screen for me if I enable the app to run in full screen display from settings. Otherwise it will have the black section at the bottom.

I tested on my mi mix 2, not 2s, but it shouldn't make any difference I don't think.

Hey, I've a Redmi 4 Pro and for no reason it started to have some trouble I can't understand. First some applications started to crash for no reasons, and finally my phone just did a reboot but it was stuck on the loading screen.

So I use the recovery system, erase my phone, install a fresh 9.3.5 stable version and I thought it will be good now. But directly after the installation; the launcher started to crash, then it's google app, and some times messenger or other app. I don't understand what happened to my phone, my glass is clear, I didn't let it down on the floor, but I can see when I have a white background (in parameters for exemple) when I choose a categorie, some pixels (like 10 maybe) start to switch color from green to red and finally came back to white. So ok maybe so pixels are messed up but it can't be the reason why my phone just crash constantly in any situation (messenger, text, navigation or sometimes I just pick it up and see it reboot due a crash).

Do you have any idea of what happened here ? What do you need as information for what I can help you with ?

Larger Digits

I actually like the features of this dialer a lot -- but I've uninstalled because of the accuracy problem others have alluded to. The buttons are just too small, and I found myself regularly misdialing.

Nadavi and Dutty -- any chance of making a similar version, but without the video button for those of us that don't need it, and then using the extra real estate to make the remaining buttons larger?

In any event, thanks for your great work!!
