[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] pipyakas:
If you can balance out the cpu thermal throttling issue, then the sd820 beats out the sd625 in GPU demanding games like PUBGM, Asphalt 9. The sd625 will never come close to being able to run those 2 games on high settings. The sd625 on the other hand, have very consistent performance and basically never throttle

I personally would have chosen a sd625 device, but the prices of sd820 devices now is almost same as sd625 devices, so their performance being close is nothing special. sd820 is just a less crappy sd810, and I still remember saying sd820 is bad on this forum and have ppl told me Im crazy
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] brother_mouzone:
LMAO

Hahaha, i can't do anything but laugh at this post. PUBG is highly unstable and poorly optimized, not only on mobile but also on PC. It's a game in open beta. Try playing a better game. I've been playing world of tanks for almost 3 years now. World of tanks was pretty unstable when i started playing it, but now its super stable and zuk z2 runs it on 1080p 60fps without breaking a sweat, even at high graphics (i play on medium to save battery). And all my friends who play on SD400+ or SD600+ struggle to play even on low graphics and can hardly cross 40 fps. So, pubg is not a standard to measure device performance. Plus, why the hell are you running Android P. Try a stable non-treble oreo ROM (like nitrogen OS or dotOS 2.3.1 or cardinal-AOSP) and you will feel the difference. Using a custom ROM doesn't mean that you can always stay on latest firmware and you will get outstanding performance. Custom ROM means that you can find yourself a perfect combination of ROM, kernel and tweaks that suits your demands. For example, until July i was using miju12's citrus 3.5 based on nougat(September 2017 build), because oreo ROMs were not good enough. Still, I don't use treble enabled ROMs or Android P GSIs because simply, they're not stable enough and they don't utilize the full potential of SD820. Also, software benchmarks can't tell you real world performance (ex, citrus 3.5 doesn't have the best benchmark scores, but it was the best nougat ROM for 3D gaming).

Conclusion: Staying on latest software doesn't mean you will get best performance. Even Google is not sure if Treble and Android P GSI system will succeed or not. The goal of treble tech is to update all oreo devices to Pie by the end of 2018. If doesn't happen, treble and pie are a failure.

PS: I also play PUBG. Using Nitrogen OS. Disable battery optimization. Play on smooth/balanced graphics and medium/ high fps. On HD, there's too much heating and the CPU will throttle. Due to glass body and small size, z2 has poor heat dissipation. If you know how to tweak your device, its no problem playing PUBG. Better game loading time on RN4 is due to utilization of newer memory channels. But, i know that on balanced and HD graphics, RN4 can't hit even 10 fps.

There are some limitations in design of z2, but remember that its cheaper than RN4 and is better in every aspect.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] PPStar:
And I agree with everything you said.

The performance you get on emulators on 625 is laughable compared to what you get on 820. I don't ever these guys are on about; 625 doesn't stand a chance against 820
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] lockhearts:
as someone who had sd820 and sd625, my conclusion is sd625 is battery optimized with balanced performance, suitable for long term use. while sd820 excel in performance, it depends on the termal & kernel setting, cause sd820 heat a lot when used heavily (gaming or video processing), if by any chance zuk z2 had a better cooling system (like the new liquid cooling system) i think it could easily beat sd625. what make sd820 nor fully optimized was it heat, then the thermal config tried to cool it, which disturb the hardware performance.

simply said, sd820 can reach the top of the wall, but can't hang on too long. while sd625 can only reach half of the wall, but it can hang in to it as long as it want. in a battle of endurance, i would pick sd625 :)
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] brother_mouzone:
There's a reason for SD820 being a flagship series SoC and SD625 being a mid-range SoC. All this debate for a trash game like PUBG, lmao. If the kryo cores on 820 are inferior to a53 cores on 625, why is qualcomm using it in SD660, the latest in 600+ series. Anyways, I'm more than happy that i bought z2 over any 600 series phone. Good luck with your SD625, noobs. Again, I can't stop laughing...
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] pipyakas:
You do realize that you're on the z2+ forum, where most ppl is using it right?

The phone & SoC has flaws, no one can deny that. It just happen to suit your use case, doesn't mean it does so for everyone
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] brother_mouzone:
It's better to buy a new device rather than complaining like kids. A chipset that was designed in 2015 and still outperforms most of the other chipsets. Zuk provided a flagship chipset in a low end price range. Still, you people are complaining. LMAO, thats why i call you all noobs. The return of investment on zuk z2 is above 200%. Get your facts right, kids.

The back glass panel of z2 can be easily removed. Remove it and play a game of PUBG on HD and high fps. It runs smooth af. There's a metal back panel for z2 on AliExpress. Replace the glass one with it. It will increase heat dissipation and in turn, increase performance.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Samirmathakiya:
I Highly suggest everyone to read the whole post and then comment.

I know that sd 820 is better,

that's why I chose z2 and not rn4 and that's why I'm here in z2 plus forum.

Don't be rude and respect everyone.

If you got overflow of knowledge then spit it anywhere else.

Hope you understood.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] brother_mouzone:

Maybe its badluck for you! i have played pubg on highest setting with 30-40 fps and tempreture under 45C. hardware does matter. and so does software optimization. both go hand in hand
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] hf958:
Lol for u bro

I guess ur one crazy redmi note 4 fanboi or maybe not

But anyways

My z2 every time wins against my friends redmi note 4 in terms of pubg that to I play on 1080p med settings, his on low settings

As ppl earlier said pubg is not well optimised

U say u have tried all ROMs

Having big appload or not letting the ROM to settle or frequently changing roms and some impatience leads to these kinds of moronic conclusions

I guess u haven't tried ROMs like OOS miui cardinal nitrogen

Not to exclude jaguar bootleggers

Even on zui it better than redmi note 4

Except rros old builds coz their speeds aren't that good

As far as sd820 is concerned

My god bro u haven't heard of op3t phone I guess

I played on 1080p high settings no lag whatsoever

It even crushes zuk z2
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] hf958:
For q1. 40% software optimization 60% hardware

q2. Both are equally important like u can miui in mi5 and oos in op3/3t is way better optimized compared to zui so better experience

q3. Yes it's beneficial in devices like zuk

q4. Obviously stable 2 year old android

But it would be better if u get latest security patches for it

q5. Cardinal Oreo nitrogen Oreo

Oos nougat

q6. Good but for camera worst

Performance better
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] anujagarwal:
zuk z2 was a flagship in 2016 . still in 2018 its antutu scores are better than any 6xx . it was some heating flaws , beacause of its design . cost cutting first cut money of design engineers . otherwise zui is also good . easy and one hand operatable . i had purchased this device at 15k , when sony and samsung selling 2gb 16gb cheap mediatech devices at more than 15k . and still no flagship 8xx device ( poco launched today only ) comes under 20k .

mi is good company , gives u value for money phones . so their phones are good . but not all the phones are that good at this phone'z price .
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Marado:
This phone is not so bad... Lets be honest...

The construction materials are a little poor, all those cheap plastics, but the hardware is pretty good..

The weakest point for me is definitely the screen.. That does not worth a crap.. if Lenovo has used an amoled screen this phone

was the best value for money...

Interesting.. The kernel source pointed out that this phone uses EAS instead of the archaic SMP. Battery life must be superb. Thinking to pick one up.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeik:
It definitely helps with the general smoothness, it's the qcom version of EAS which comes with SD710 if I'm not mistaken. Both the Mi 8 SE and Mi 8 have it so you can't do wrong with anyone of them and the SE is currently the absolute best at the sub-300 Euro price point.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HsuperJ:
Hi,

I am trying to get Fortnite Installer to work on my phone. My phone is an Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML. It is an outdated device.

So far, I have successfully spoofed my device so it displays as a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, but when I use GLTools to fake my GPU info,

Fortnite Installer crashes. When using the GPUs that are not compatible with Fortnite, it does not crash, but when using the higher end GPUs

that are compatible with Fortnite, the Installer does not crash.

I suspect that my device is too slow in general but I am not certain. I also have an Asus Zenfone 3 ZE520KL as my primary phone. I am trying to avoid

messing with that phone because it is my primary phone.

I have faced this problem for a lot of time. In the end, i installed stock rom again via mi flash tool - Zui v2.5 (you will easily get the link in xda). Once i got HD symbol and tested a call, i clean wiped the phone and installed custom rom again which supported volte. But before starting the rom for first time, i flashed baseband v1.7 (which i think is of zui 3.5). I got volte after 5-6 months and I'm happy.... My current rom AospExtended Oreo based doesn't have great battery backup but atleast I'm content with VoLTE. Hope it helps

I have an old Nexus 7 v2 that I just need to run one app on. Nothing else - no mail, browsing contacts etc and the tablet will be on airplane mode all the time.

I’m running the DJI Go4 app for my Mavic Pro drone and this tablet is to be used just for this purpose. Is there any way of just either removing all the stuff that I don’t need so that all of the cpu is concentrating on running the DJI app and none of the other background tasks?

The Nexus 7 is just about powerful enough to run this and I can’t afford a better tablet at the moment!

You could root it then uninstall or disable any unwanted apps or flash a custom rom with a different Gapps package like micro or pico.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fr4nk1yn:
Yes. You can flash a bare bones ROM and don't flash GApps. You'll have to sideload the DJI app.

I doubt this will give you much more performance though. Maybe also flash a kernel that lets you overclock a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] annlogs:
Hello. For some time my Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F) remains silent. It also does not pick up any more sound. Does not play anymore.

After updating the firmware on G950FXXU3CRGH (latest official firmware from August 2018) - it could have been that it is because - there is still no sound from the smartphone.

Instead, the settings for volume barely work, is very slow. The volume switch responds just as the software over settings extremely slow and has no effect.

More often, the attempt to set ends with the message "System UI does not respond".

Starting in Safe Mode, clearing the cache or updating with CSC instead of HOME_CSC was unsuccessful.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Is there any way to test if the sound hardware works?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Rajvir8:
I'm having a rather unique problem with my the Micro SD card I installed.

I can format it as internal storage and it won't pop up for file managers or my computer.

This means I can't manually move files to it all.

Despite that when it's internal storage I can move apps to it and it adds new apps to it by default.

I could go to move all and move everything it can on, but it's a fairly slow SD card so I'm hoping to mainly put music, videos and any pictures on there.

I worry about it moving the apps that I want to keep in internal storage for speed over.

Does anyone know how I could fix this?

EDIT:

I didn't manage to figure out how to add files manually while it was internal storage through either internal file managers or through the computer.

But I did manage to find the SD card while it was portable.

The trick is to use the built in file explorer on the phone and copy a small file onto the SD card.

With there being something other than just Android files on the SD card it can then be discovered by the computer.

This mainly solves my problem as I plan to use it primarily for storage of music and game files, with the emulators being on the phone itself.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] dennismac:
I had this issue a few days ago. You have 2 options to format, (1) as a internal storage and only your phone can read this and other option (2)to use on others devices. Using the second option I managed to transfer files to my microSD like it used to be.

While using the first option I was able only to transfer apps to it through the system.

I hope it helps :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Rajvir8:
I'm using one, but I'm not even able to find it with File Manager?

Is that normal for Internal Storage?

I expected there to at least be a folder in the normal phone space called SD card or something?

Is there no way to manually move music there when it's internal storage?

Also I tried changing it to be portable but my computer still couldn't see it.

File manager could actually see it and open it but I couldn't copy paste anything to it.

So I turned it back to internal as I can at least move apps to it successfully at the moment.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] dennismac:
When I tried as Internal Storage any File Manager found my SDcard too... Thats why I'm using as portable.

Maybe you're missing something like changing the USB connection from Charging to File transfering.
