[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] mikemanpl:
Hi,

I am almost certain that I will get myself a MIX 2S, but there is one thing that still holds me off - the screen. Does anyone of you know what is the panel installed there? Previously I had Xiaomi MI Note 3 and the screen there had some problems with ghosting which was really annoying when it was cold outside (near 0 Celsius). I wonder if this is the thing with 2S too. Anyone?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bryandu13:
No problem with it at all, check the tests it's one of the bests IPS panel available and it's HDR compatible
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Difourentii:
According to reviews, display on Mix 2s actually worse than display on Mi note 3. It has lower brightness and contrast and has same ghosting issues due to slow pixels: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12992/the-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s-review/4

I have mi note 3 and going to change it for mix, and I prepared for it :(
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bryandu13:
Bad review, check other tests. Almost everyone will tell you that Mi Mix 2S screen is very good.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Difourentii:
Checked: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_mix_2s-review-1758p3.php

This review makrs same brightness and contrast, below mi note 3 values

About ghosting real users in my country say the same: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=890942&view=findpost&p=74526483 (it's in russian, you can use google translate)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] phorenzik:
My Mix 2S screen is horrible. Blur and ghosting every time I swipe or scroll. Real shame as I love everything else about this phone.

I have had dozens & dozens of phones (IPS & AMOLED screens) and I have never had this issue.

Only had phone for just over a week, but I won't be keeping it much longer. It hurts my eyes.

Some people won't even notice it, but I'm very susceptible to this sort of thing.

It has an EXTREMY low pixel refresh rate and tends to blur on whites and blues.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bryandu13:
Send your phone to customer service, I don't have these problems
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] phorenzik:
I bought it from eBay and I'm in the UK, so it's a no go for warranty.

It isn't faulty. It's just how they all are. It's the panel Xiaomi have used.

Like I said, some people are more susceptible to it. Some people don't see the blur at all. All eyes are different.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Presterin:
I think too that you have faulty panel, as I can see what you can see and my 2S panel is perfect.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] DJ-Tumor:
This is EVIL BULL****. You are just pissed to have made a bad purchase. There has never ever been any test/review with any word with a problem like you.

I don´t get it. DEFECT is defect and you´ve got a right to get a working example. Didn´t you pay by Paypal?

If not...NOW we know where this is really coming from.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] phorenzik:
What the ****?

Why are you so angry?

It's me who's wasted £450 on a phone with a worse screen than my last phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] malimukk:
Lol dude you dont see it but its there ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] phorenzik:
I said from right from the start that some people will be able to see it, when others won't. It's all subjective.

My eyes are extremely susceptible to things like this.

For example, in games, movies & broadcast TV, I can easily see frame rate judder/frame pace errors & refresh rate innacuracies in source material, when most other people can't.

The vast majority of people don't see this at all, but some of us do, and to us, it's awful.

The phone is in no way defective. The panel is just shoddy and is where Xiaomi have cut corners., Which is a shame. I'd rather have less RAM or a slower chipset than have a crappy screen, as this is the thing you have to look at constantly. I'm selling mine and going back to my old phone.

Was to give my OnePlus 5T to my wife as she needs a new phone, but I guess I will get another phone as the screen on the Mix 2S seems to be dimmer and not uniformly...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I'm always very suspicious of posts on XDA where members directly or indirectly plug OnePlus phones. OnePlus is notorious for fake user posts on tech and social media sites.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] phorenzik:
Strangely enough, I've gone back to my 5t and listed my Mix 2s for sale.

The 5t is far from perfect. The camera is attrotious compared to the Mix 2s but the screen is a million times better.

I genuinely don't care if you're suspicious or not. I tell it like it is.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I owned a One Plus 5 which was an amazingly bad phone. From the poor build quality of the phone itself to the inept coding of Oxygen and the firmware I never owned a phone that I hated more.

So why is it every few days someone feels the need to post how much they prefer their One Plus phones in the Xiaomi threads? It's disrespectful to go into the MI Mix 3 thread and say this phone sucks I'm going back to One Plus.

If yours was the first post I saw like that it wouldn't raise a red flag but I see very similar posts regularly.

One Plus sales and promotion tactics include planting fake user posts and comments on tech and social media sites. I'm not saying that your post is fake but it definitely falls very squarely into the pattern of their fake posts which criticize a competing company and praise One Plus devices as being superior.

Weird, my screen is ace (for an IPS), no ghosting (I play a lot of Honkai Impact 3rd so I would notice), good colours, good sunlight legibility.

Global version from AliExpress.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] arddy1:
Well, my mi mix 2s international ver with JDI lcd panel has ghosty lcd too. It looks like interpolated tv or we called soap opera effect..

My solution is: enable "force gpu rendering" and "disable hw overlays" in developer options. It noticeably reduces the ghosting
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Killuminati91:
Rockin an S9 now but to be quite honest: I prefered the screen on the Mix 2s. The Samsung has incredible ratings but the Mix 2s just seemed sharper and better for the eye imo.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] phorenzik:
OnePlus leaked my credit card details when I bought my 5t. I'll never buy another 1+ product ever again. The camera on the 5t is also really, really terrible, and the worst camera I've had on a mobile, since.....I don't know how long.

But.....the Mi Mix 2S has a crap, blurry IPS panel with a low response time, which is unacceptable for a flagship device. Due to this, I doubt I'll ever give Xiaomi another chance in the future. My Mix 2s is currently on eBay and I'll likely lose well over a hundred pounds (if it sells).

I can't really be more impartial than that. I am not loyal to any company. I just speak the truth. I hate marketing bull**** and Xiaomi fans are just as bad/maybe even worse, than the other brand zealots.

If my Mix 2s had a non-blurry, non-ghosting screen, I would LOVE it. Everything else about this phone is amazing.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] phorenzik:
I tried that and it does seem to make a bit of difference. Not enough to make me want to keep it though.

How do you know what LCD your device has? All of the diagnostic apps I tried just tell me it's an IPS panel. Can't seem to find the manufacturer.

Would be interesting if Xiaomi's using different panels in some models.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I'm really not noticing any issues with the screen on mine being soft, blurry or slow and I don't see any ghosting. A previous post suggested that the ghosting is more noticable in cold temps. That's possible but since it's summer here I wouldn't know.

People complain about the poor camera in the OP5 & OP5T but they don't seem to grasp that the poor camera is part of a much bigger issue. There isn't anything wrong with the camera hardware in those phones--the camera sucks because the programmers at One Plus don't know what they are doing. Large parts of their Oreo code is actually Nougat. They don't implement the camera API's along Android standards. An article about EAS that was on XDA last week said EAS is implemented in a way that doesn't make any sense on the OP6. If you follow developers on their Telegram channels the poor coding on One Plus phones is a running joke among many of them.

Maybe some of the panels Xiaomi used are defective or maybe I don't have sharp enough eyes to see the problem. I never noticed the jelly effect on the OP5 display either but it drove some people crazy.

---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

There was an announcement that Xiaomi is improving both the camera firmware and the GPU implementation on the Mix 2S in future software updates. Maybe that will help with the ghosting issues some people are experiencing.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] arddy1:
Go to about phone, tap kernel ver 5x. You will enter CIT mode, then go to check version info. Scroll to bottom and you will find the lcd panel and camera vendor
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] phorenzik:
I notice the jelly effect. Never had a oneplus5, but I can see it if I turn my 5t upside down. It's also very noticeable on the Mi Mix 2s if you turn that upside down and scroll through Twitter.

The temperature isn't the culprit for the slow pixel response on the Mix 2s. I'm in the UK and we're currently experiencing a heatwave. It's just a quirk of the panel used. Most people don't see the blur & ghosting but it is there.

I'll use my fallback 5t until another phone that ticks all my boxes, comes along.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] mustang_ssc:
I didn't expect it but indeed i notice the jelly effect when scrolling on Twitter with the screen upside-down, fortunately only happens on upside-down perspective.

Overall i am very happy with the device. I have tried to check the ghosting effect topic but didn't feel anything from my side.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] bassbounce:
I had the same problem on my Mi Mix 2, the text went blurry when scrolling I sold my unit en bought another one same problem.

Such a nice phone but that panel is a no go.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] 007zzz:
That`s why these phones(oneplus mix) are cheap. They all have drawback like screens. But compared to oneplus`s AMOELD 1080p , mix`s LCD screen is better. The blur and ghosting will be worse when the temperature is low due to LCD. And mix2s`s screen is the same as mix2.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] MI1990:
can you confirm that the screen looks like always like this?

for me would be a deal breaker totally (i was thinking to get this phone next week..)

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] speedunderx:
I come from the Xiaomi mi A1 and the screen is much better than the one in mi mix 2s, the screen of mi mix 2s has a more yellow tone in the bottom part of the screen, it is not something that anyone notices, if a background is placed white on the whole screen will notice the yellowish tone, the phone itself in hardware is pretty good, but the issue leaves a lot to be desired.

Yes, mine it's a little better than that video but with my Mi5 definitely there is :/ a pity that a cell phone like this has these problems. In my case I received it and I have it with the last global beta of Miui 10, I hope it is solved with Android Pie but I think it's not software related :(

I`ve a couple of questions regarding the whole boot-loader unlocking fiasco as Huawei will stop the official service from 22nd of july ,I`m currently on emui 5.0.2 on my BLN-L21 ,I`ve the following questions

1)I plan to install the GSI roms from Open Kirin but as they require the phone to be on EMUI 8 I cant do Anything right now ,so while I wait for the official release of EMUI 8 on honor 6x Can I generate Boot Unlock code now and then use it later?

2)Also on the official boot loader unlocking page it asks "Before EMUI" OR "Since EMUI" what option do I choose? As the phone launched with Emui 4.1? Thanks:)

1 You should be able to use it later.

2 Since EMUI

Sorry I forgot to put the fact it asks Since EMUI 5 or Before EMUI 5 ,I`m confused over the fact that the phone launched with emui 4.1 and now has emui 5

So, not in a long future I am going to buy Ouya android gaming console, cause I have found pretty great deal. But I heard that the "Ouya Store" is shutdown + most of Ouya titles are arcade-type of games...

So I have a big big big request, if you still have pre-installed games on your Xperia Play phone could you back them up for me to .apk format and kindly include the data (.obb file)?? <3 unfortunately I had sold my phone few years back :( and since it had playstation controlls I think it could run well on ouya :D (I hope this ain't against XDA forum rules)

Please, help me out <3 cause I would love to play some The Sims 3 or Bruce Lee or some since delete EA or Gameloft Games (like Nova or Dead Space :D ) on full screen.

p.s i have look over the internet for the xperia play version of the sims 3 (com.ea.thesims3 not the other one) and it is nowhere to be found :( so please help me out here.

I actually loathe all the built in games aside from Crash, but I can help you out here at least with The Sims, recently got a play from ebay with it installed. I'll try to download the other games too, I tried Crash out of curiosity the other day and it still worked.

Though I'm not sure they will work on any other device.

Will upload later today!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garfoth:
If you managed to get Crash working, could you upload the files for that? I'm talking about the .apk and .zpak files. I'm only asking you because I can't seem to get it working on my device (but then again I've got a custom ROM and unlocked bootloader...) and I'm not particularly keen on returning my phone entirely to stock for the possibility of maybe managing to download it myself.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEZAiKU:
You actually can take out the game apks from the firmwares, so actually dont need to reflashing many times of your device at all.

Though i've some question to ask. Im own the Asphalt 6 HD before buying at the Gameloft website at old times (but when installed the game is not HD at all), but the game refuse to download the data, thou im still thinking why is not working anymore in this year but when im use the game apk from the Japanese FW, (this is the truely HD) and the game just works. If there any way to bypass it, please PM me. Many others Gameloft games that i've buy and own is not working anymore, but only from the Firmwares still works.

Hey,

Unfortunately, I bought a second hand GPixel. And as many of You guys I'm occuring some problems like low earpiece volume and camera focus failture.

I read lots posts of this kind failtures and didn't find any solution except replacing motherboard.

But I have idea, maybe we can ask someone for answer what is causing this problems? There's guy on YouTube, Louis Rossmann. I saw he's pretty good at solving those problems. Maybe we should try?

If you move further and install xposed module, there is an app you can install which actually hides the root status of your phone from apps that operate on unrooted phones only.

[General Questions and Answers] malchikgey:
I've been tinkering around and figured out how to get RNDIS + DM + Modem mode working on the device, but have no idea how to switch from AP to CP, which is what allows your computer to view your phone as a com port.

Enable USB debugging and go through the steps to use ADB to use these commands:

adb root shell grep usb.config= /init*rc

adb root shell setprop sys.usb.config rndis,diag,modem

adb shell getprop sys.usb.config (this just makes sure that it's in the right mode)

I rooted and installed LineageOS, but I'm not even sure it was necessary.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] graywoulf1:
Well, since I had no intention of using the cellular function on my watch, I decided to attempt installing a normal watch band and I think that it all turned out nicely. Noting that this watch will accept a 22mm standard watch band, I first checked to see if a standard 22mm spring pin would fit and it did so nicely as far as the length goes. The holes that the screws fit through are much larger than the standard pin normally fits it so to keep the pin in place within the band you have two choices. Either use a standard pin and glue it into the band so it cannot slide in either direction or use a band that uses the quick release pins like I did. I used one of the "Milanese" magnetic bands that a quick release pin would fit into. It was one that I had already and I like the adjustability of it and it is black in color which matches the watch well. Now as far as the open slots where the original band's antenna connectors is concerned, I covered them with some tiny pieces of self adhesive thin craft foam that I got at a local Walmart in the crafts department. Two small rectangular pieces cut to fit worked very well to seal off the openings and it look like it was made to be there. It was a little tricky to install the band but it seems to fit very well and is very secure as well. Here is a link to just one of many of these bands offered on eBay. I would attach a picture of my LGWU2 with this band on and worn on my arm but I do not see a way to do that here.

** UPDATE... Well I just discovered that the antennas in the original band are not for the cellular service only. I was losing my Bluetooth connection only a few feet away from my mobile phone. WiFi seemed to work pretty much the same though. I thought this would be a good idea, but I guess not. Oh well.
