Using it for 5 days,

Sot is ~5h(without gaming, social media, call time ~10m, especially surfing with mobile data)

Miui 10.2.1.0

I changed wallpaper to black, stopped lots of apps, but didnt help to improve sot.

Now battery has %40, and sot 3h. Still same with previous.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Real Life Review] unulufuntu:
about 6-7h sot, no gaming, some internet browsing, a few crosswords, whatsapp and weather app.

I have 'stock [black theme]' (you can find it in the miui themes app) and most of the time i use low brightness.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Real Life Review] Kacee:
I'm getting 8h-8h30 SOT according to AccuBattery, not sure if it's accurate or not, I've removed bunches of stock apps and replace them with (better) alternatives...

The battery drain is not that much for me.. 5-10%
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Real Life Review] unulufuntu:
It's ok, about 4-5% during the night (airplane mode). I still have to test it more.

With my previous phone (lenovo p2, 5100mah) i had a drop of only 1-2%
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Real Life Review] lolo9393:
For me, Best today ROM for stand by drain is Revolution OS.

I've tested all MIUI variant and this one seems to give lower drain at night.

less than 2% in 8Hours. (green line stay nearly horizontal!)

Do your test!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Real Life Review] evanB70:
I'm on Chinese MIUI 10. I debloated it & installed Lean launcher. Now the battery drain at night is 3% max, even without Airplane mode & battery saver. It's amazing how much better experience you can get just by getting rid of useless MIUI stuff.

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] thesweeper:
I would really appreciate it if someone could answer a few of these questions. I tried searching, but I couldnt find them.

Why is there a seperate hearald mobile 6 thread? Is there a difference? And how do you get windows mobile 6.1? I couldn't find a download for that.

Also, is installing something like touch IT just a faster way to install a bunch of different cabs? I'm asking because I wanted to know if I could just download the cabs I wanted and not have to download a whole pack. And what is hard-spl? I've seen the forum for it but it gives no clue on what it really is.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] fzzyrn:
Herald mobile 6 is for discussions regarding windows mobile 6 on herald (herald is default wm5, while wing is wm6), whereas rom development is for discussion in regards to roms.

To get wm6.1, install a wm6.1 rom (read the stickies for instructions on installing roms).

While custom roms do include fixes that can be installed via cabs, they are also built on new bases that are faster or more stable than the present ones. These cannot be installed via cab.

Hard-SPL is a way of getting around the CID lock on the phone that prevents it from being flashed with custom roms. It is more or less permanent.

This is your free noob question. Welcome to the forums
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] thesweeper:
thanks so much for your reply

i'm sorry, but there are still a few more things I wanted to ask, if you don't mind.

I understand hard-spl, but what is soft-spl? and what is a radio? also, is there a reason for choosing one rom over the other, other than personal preference? and whats an ipl?

If these are really obvious questions, please point me to a thread I could read up on. I've modded razrs and iphones, but I haven't done anything as complicated as a wm device.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] nKiwan:
I explain the differences between HardSPL and USPL in this thread.

A radio is... how do i explain this... the GSM software on the device? Put it this way, the newer the Radio, the better reception and phone quality you will get, usualy.

When it comes down to choosing between ROMs, its all personal preference, I strongly recommend trying the Open Touch V4.0 Biggy.

Please search and read, all of your answer can be found that way. Just like we all did.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] thesweeper:
thanks so much everyone, hopefully when i get on track I can help out newer noobs

Does anybody have colour blending (blacks) issues in mi 8 se? there is cloudy and dull black colour when watching videos, feels like there is too high contrast or something.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Real Life Review] tanjir.h:
Yeah, noticed something like this. When color shifts from deep black to a bit greyish black, there was something like that "cloudy" thing you said. Not sure what was it though. Although the black is really deep (as an AMOLED display should)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Real Life Review] maketzu111:
That is exactly what i have experienced. Hopefully Xiaomi fix this in future updates. There was same problem in Samsung Galaxy s9+ but it got fixed by update.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Real Life Review] gbrezak1:
Which rom ? Maybe eu.rom is better.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Real Life Review] maketzu111:
I have Xiaomi.eu 10.0.1.0 stable. Now it appears that my mi 8 se have pretty bad Display Uniformity Issues which aren't uncommon in oled screens. It also looks lacking colors in dark pictures and in videos which is pretty annoying thing. I don't think it is rom issue. There is forum threads about samsung amoled screens issues (mi 8 se have samsung amoled display too). I'm pretty sure that my next phone will have ips display.

minimum brightness is very low, in total darkness I normally use 2-5% brightness.

There is also the 'reading mode' that can make the screen even a bit less 'bright'.

And the amoled display (blacks pixels are turned off) makes it perfect to read and use at night.

[HTC Excalibur] ghostwheel:
update: now a cab file

I uploaded new file: now it is a cab file.

And, now if program is running, it will be brought into the foreground when run again (instead of running a 2nd version).
[HTC Excalibur] littleclown:
I tried, Its hard to use it coz I am not sure what button what does.

/ is the simbol on my key, but in your calc is * - why?

And when I hit * twice I have some error exepton
[HTC Excalibur] ghostwheel:
The layout on screen is supposed to be identical to the layout of the s620 keyboard. So don't look at the keyboard, only at the screen.

Here I'm not sure what is better. If you really look only at the screen, and not at the keys, then my layout is better, because then the keys are in logical places - otherwise '-' would be somewhere on the right, '*' at the bottom-left.

But I also get confused by the '*' vs. '/' key. Maybe I'll just switch them in the layout....

This is a bug....
[HTC Excalibur] littleclown:
Dude... its so no-user-friendly :).

In many situation I must count buttons from left to right and to right to left to find my button - you may know it, put for new users is some kind of hell :).

Can you combine this with cursor, to control with narrows some sqare to select buttons?
[HTC Excalibur] qaplus:
This is good idea to utilize Dash's keyboard, but counting which key to use makes it much harder then necessary. I suggest you can display keyboard letters on screen, in a small font or in background. It will make key-hunting much easier.
[HTC Excalibur] ghostwheel:
You are right, I'll try to add little letters to the buttons.

In the meantime - here is a hint: the numbers and the left black column are really no problem. The only problem are the middle block black of keys, such as

sin cos tan

x^2 exp 10^x

For these, you can use the top row as guides: + ( ) are all in the right place....
[HTC Excalibur] Profezza:
Very useful looking! The mental reinforcement of the glowing letters/symbols on the keypad is just too much for me to overcome, though. :D

Having '=' mapped to space is very practical, but I want to press enter. Are you up for feature requests? A base converter on one of the yet unused keys would be outstanding. bin/hex/dec? OF course, then you'd need more numeral keys... hmmm.

Or, it could be skinnable/mappable. Some shiny .png buttons, remapping options, and you would probably have the #1 Smartphone Calc. No, you definitely would.
[HTC Excalibur] ghostwheel:
OK OK - keys have labels.

I added labels with the letter to each key. This is not read from key mapping, though, so it only works correctly for QWERTY keyboard. I also moved the keys around a bit, so now / and * are in the right place.

What's the best way to read the keyboard mapping?
[HTC Excalibur] qaplus:
Much better now! Do you have time to add Memory functions and some basic unit conversion functions?

The following is a tiny calculator I wrote many years ago for REX6000. Still have that baby in my wallet today :)
[HTC Excalibur] ghostwheel:
Ahhhhh the Rex...

Wow! That is really cool! I got my wife a Rex for her birthday many years ago. Why don't they make this form factor any more? It was perfect!

Her second one died just last year :(

That's a cool calculator! If it had been my Rex, I would have installed it ;)
[HTC Excalibur] ghostwheel:
added unit conversion and a few other things

Due to popular demand, I added unit conversions. I'm still not quite happy with the result. But I'm not quite sure how it should be done.

The best would be to be able to do

1 [m] + 3 [inch] =

and then pressing [feet] will give the result in feet.

This doesn't work now.

For now, just do unit conversion on the result of calculations... not during calculations.

So, you can do

1.54 [inch][m]

or

2 + 4*6 = [feet][km]

To switch to conversion mode, press

.

See first post for other changes.​
[HTC Excalibur] Profezza:
Bugs:

The yellow square creeps down the screen if you hold alt. Fixes on relaunch.

The numeral keys do this as well.

Pressing + twice with no entry causes an exception.

This appears to happen with the * key as well.

Soft Key labels do not take Windows Button appearance. ;)

---------------------

I really like the speed with which I can get to everything. Switching to units mode is elegant and going to be very handy at work, thanks!

I am curious as to why the temp conversion is on the scientific functions page rather than the units page.

May I make more requests? Automatic save on exit of last page used would be handy. Perhaps the Alt key should say alt and flash when clicked instead of movingMaking the ! match its keyboard location would be nice, I guess, too.
[HTC Excalibur] ghostwheel:
This was quite ugly. I liked the fact that the program still worked correctly, but with a crooked keyboard...

Fixed now

This is also fixed. Now you can correct your last operation.

3 [+] [*] 2 =

gives 6.

This I don't understand. Do you mean that the shift key is not trapesoidal, like on the keyboard? Or that the key labels (i.e. the blue letters) don't move down?

Simply ugly programming. First I just made a F->C and C->F button like qaplus' REX6000 program. Then I added my style of units as a different function.

But there is a problem that if I want the following to work later, then

3[m] - 2[mm] =

makes sense. But

98 F - 32 F =

is something special. It is not degrees F any more, but instead a difference between degrees, in F.

So

99 [F] - 90 [F] =

[C]

should eventually show a difference of 5 degrees C, and not

9 degrees F converted to C, which is (-12.777) degrees C.

It could say alt. Though on my keyboard, it is labeled FN (I have a dopod). But why flash instead of moving?

If you mean that the change shouldn't be permanent (i.e. not shift-lock), then now there are two ways to use shift:

press and hold, and press another key will not lock, just do the alternate function. Press and release shift with no interveaning keypress will lock the shift state.

This will come later, when instead of ln, exp, log, 10^, log2, 2^, I will have just one key, and you can switch the log base as you do now with rad-grad-deg.

Currently I like that they are all together.
[HTC Excalibur] Profezza:
That was fast! I was making a lighthearted reference to the fact that the bottom-of-screen captions for the "soft keys", meaning the two above the home and back <- keys, don't have the shiney/glowie look that they do in the native OS screens.

I imagine this is related to the software you are developing in, and not really important anyway.

Sounds like it will be really handy for doing several rapid temp related tasks! K would be nice too, if you can find space for it. :)

I was just thinking of other ways to communicate it's state, I didn't realize you would be able to stop the creep-bug so fast.

That sounds consistent with xt9, so perfect to our existing habits.

Then, I will keep watching on this thread for updates. I already am using it a bit in work and home Thanks!
