Hi All,

I recently purchased an R-TV X99 (Rockchip RK3399 Device) which i am not pleased with as the stock firmware was unrooted and crap and the rooted that i flashed was buggy as hell. If anybody knows where to look for custom firmware or even the latest root official firmware, or how i can make my own firmware for the R-TV X99 box PLEASE show me because at the moment i have it just sitting there as its unusable. I have owned a few Android TV boxes (also currently have a S192 Device) and i am sick of how they are unsupported and dont get any software releases or updates. I did see yesterday on XDA roms for S192 devices and i will be flashing and trying them out, its just asham theres not more for alot more devices. Anyways I am now looking to purchase a new TV Box.

I really need some help / advice before i purchase again.

I want a box that can actually output 4K [MENTION=7825661]60fps[/MENTION] and not just say that it can. The TV box / Mini PC market is a mess, so many devices and brands claiming this and that but it doesn't always hold true.

I had the idea of buying a Mini PC that can run windows on it and then i should be able to install Phoenix OS on it and dual boot android and windows 10 (I hope this is possible?).

My limit is £250 so i have narrowed it down to these boxes:

KODLIX AP42

Beelink S1

Beelink ap34

N42-D Mini PC

Kodlix GN41

Beelink S2

Beelink Gemini x55

The problem is, I am finding it hard to compare as they are all so similar they say then can do 4K but some dont specify the fps whereas other do. As an example of finding it hard to compare the Beelink website doesn't even have a compare products page and the Beelink AP34 model looks better then the AP34 Pro which i would have expected to be the other way round ? Pro is always the better one usually. Its just confusing.

Id like one with expandable storage especially a 2.5" internal slot for SSD and id like it to be fanless too.

The above models seem to be they best ones i can find.

If however you cannot install an OS of your choice i will need 1x android tv box and 1x windows 10 Mini PC

I would appreciate massively any advice or help on this matter.

Mini PC

Hi,

I too have the same question/confusion. Yesterday, I thought Kodlix is the best bet. Their hardware/claim is hard to resist. It has UHD graphics (Two versions are given on the same page 620 and 600. I am not allowed to paste the url here.).

To confuse more, same product is listed in amazon twice. Again, not allowed to paste URL. Search for Kodlix in amazon and it displays both results.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] juergen2000:
Hello all,

I have a Mi Mix 256 GB with locked bootloader.

I would like to make the MIUI 10 update via OTA in the next few days. Is it dangerous to make an OTA update with the new Xiaomi rules when the boot loader is closed?

In the moment I use the Global Stable V9.6.2.0.OAHMIFD.

Since I bought used my device, I can not say unfortunately whether it is China or global hardware. Unfortunately, there is no label on the box.

I would like to leave the bootloader closed but if that would be a risk for the next OTA update I would of course unlock the bootloader.

Could you please tell me how I am doing best here?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] cobben:
I would advise you to unlock the bootloader and then install TWRP and the Xiaomi.eu ROM.

Xiaomi.eu is based on the official China ROMs, so it should be ok even in the future.

I am running the Xiaomi.eu weekly 8.9.6 currently with no problems.

You can always go back to the official ROMs later if you want to.

I think there never was a true Global version of the Mix1, I may be wrong.

So how Xiaomi will handle it, if they intend to push back this policy to older models than 2018, will be interesting to see.

There are other devices in the same situation, i.e. with no Global model, like Mi Note 3.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] imapfsr:
I am using the Mix 128GB version. I have gone back in forth with all kinds of different roms but my boot loader was unlocked. I also owned the Mi Mix 2s for a while and I know there was an issue whether you had the Chinese XA or XE (I believe it was ) version and if you changed the Chinese rom to Global then locked the boot loader again it would brick the phone. I am pretty sure the Mix does not have this issue.

If you are already on the Global version and going by your rom version number it looks like you are running a genuine Xiaomi rom and not a vendor rom you should get the update OTA very soon with no danger what so ever in accepting and upgrading it.

Most recently I was running the MIUI Global Beta rom and hadn't been able to flash the Global Stable so I had to flash 9.6.2 (or most recent rom available from Xiaomi website) stable version and once it was complete and rebooted the OTA update to MIUI 10 Global Stable was there and the phone updated with no issue and that is what I am running now and it is a genuine Xiaomi rom for Global.

I did use the .EU version for a while which combines the best of the Chinese and Global roms but I just got tired of worrying about updates, flashing all the time etc. but if you are comfortable doing that then give it a try but you will have to apply to unlock the boot loader. When I applied for my Mix2s I had to wait 15 days to unlock it and I think that time is longer now but I am not certain.

I am pretty sure that as long as you are on the same ROM (China, Global Stable etc) then you can accept and flash OTA without having to have your boot loader unlocked. Hope this helps.

By the way I am in Canada if that matters as far as who gets the OTA first.

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

I just double checked my rom and yours is OAHMIFD and mine is OAHMIFH so I am going to look further to see if yours is a vendor rom...I will post my findings.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

Just saw that your rom number is on the Xiaomi forums as a official rom so you should be fine for sure.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] juergen2000:
Thank you for the answers!

That definitely helps me a lot. I am now no longer afraid of the update. :o
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] juergen2000:
MIUI 10 OTA Update is successfully done without any problems. :o

Now I hope Xiaomi will not apply the new update regulation to devices before 2018 in the future.

I can understand that xiaomi fake MIUi version wants to prevent.

However, this must not lead to devices being destroyed after an update.

I think a lot of Redmi 5 users have bricked the phone and the same for the Mi8 and other 2018 phones.

I have installed the latest version of Windows Live (10.6.34.0800) on my new Touch Plus (Dual). When i forward a hotmail email, none of the links get forwarded with it.

Prior to this phone I've had 2 other WM5 phones and when i forwarded an email, the links went with the email. I just tried the previous version (10.6.33.0600) and had the same experience. It's quite annoying when the forwared email has a "click

Is this a WM6 thing? or is there some setting that is wrong?

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ThDeK:
x-post from miui forum

Hi,

I'm having some issues installing MobileIron MDM on my Mi 6, I'm running MIUI 10 Global 8.9.13 Beta. The installer works and the device is passing all required checks (i.e. device is encrypted, not rooted etc.) and the configuration is starting. But there's one point during the configuration which requires the installation of a certificate. At that point the installer is asking the user to enter a password by pressing and holding the password field for the context menu to paste the password which should be on the Android clipboard (see screenshot) which doesn't work, there is no password on the clipboard. I can use the 'Paste' function but nothing is entered into the password field.

I've done this on other phones and other Android versions before and it has always worked without any issues.

Has anybody of you encountered such a problem before? Copy/Paste generally works in other applications but during the installation the clipboard remains empty (I also tried to paste into a text field in a different application, didn't work).

Has something around the handling of certificate installations and/or access to the clipboard changed in MIUI 10?

Many thanks in advance!

BR,

Thorsten
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ThDeK:
I was able to fix it today. I've been trouble-shooting this with a Xiaomi Mi 5 and Xiaomi Mi 6 phone on different versions (MIUI 9 and MIUI 10, both global stable and global developer) but I now believe the version doesn't really matter, the "fix" should be applicable to all versions with this issue.

Here's a brief description of what happened -- this might make a bit of a confusing read, but bear with me: During the installation the user gets that notification about “Press paste on the next screen to insert password for the certificate….” but the next screen is not the certificate import (it is most likely a system dialog asking for the regular device PIN but I couldn’t fully test that step).

So there's that dialog where I thought I should paste the certificate password -- the step that repeatedly hadn’t worked. Today I finally used the “forgot password” function. I had tried that before but always cancelled it because the “forgot password” function was just asking for another password – which didn’t make sense to me at that time.

Today I noticed how the “forgot password” function brings up a dialog which contains my MI account number. That made me realize that the FIRST dialog might have actually asked for my device PIN (despite asking for a password) with the second dialog (after the “forgot password”) providing the option to remove the device PIN (or password) by entering the MI account password.

Long story short

: I entered my MI account password which kind of “unlocked” the whole (and terrible) “import certifcate, don’t change certificate name, paste password” ordeal. Mobile@Work is working flawlessly now. It seems there’s some form of MIUI function around the MI account “protecting” the certificate store, that's why that MIUI dialog interfered with the Mobile@Work installation in an unfortunate and unexpected way.

Good luck to all who run into the same issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam79:
I bought my LG G5 (RS988) new last November (2017). Ever since last week the battery can't hold a charge for more than a few hours. It goes from 100% to dead two to three times a day. Before this disturbing trend, my normal usage would get a full day off a full charge.

On a normal work day I'd leave the house for work at 100%, pop in headphones and listen to my music player for close to 2hrs straight. I'd be at 92-89% when I got to work.

Doing the same thing put my battery at 29% by the time I get to work.

I was thinking that it might be my battery, but in the review section for new G5 batteries, I've noticed more than one comment about how the new battery drains just as fast. So in some cases the problem is apparently the phone itself.

Is there any way I can test my current battery, as well as test my phone? Like some kind of diagnostic mode or App. There are just so many Apps that are scams to get personal info or fool you into an in-App purchase that is useless.

Thanks.

I have had my ULM for 5 months, which is me leaving the Pixel 2(not XL).

Battery life is/was almost double that of my P2.

Mine did not have the screen bleed issue i read about AFTER ordering lol

Screen quality is nice, camera quality sucks compared to the P2, along with if you are trying to grab a fast pic of something before you miss it, there is a huuge delay from the button to saving the pic. I have missed a lot of shots due to that.

Not happy that the ULM is STILL 8.0 and no root...Would love a root with a clean non LG rom

Aside from that, i still love my g7 more than the P2 (though the p2 Ui was more responsive and scrolling was smoother)

(although i have a P3 XL coming monday to replace the g7 lol)

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] mr3p:
I've had my G7 for a couple of weeks taking advantage of the Google Fi Black Friday price (350) and upgraded from a Pixel 1. Form factor and screen is great however I still much prefer AMOLED. Its running 8.0 which does feel like a step backwards and security patch level is September 2018. The UI isn't overly burdensome although I much prefer stock Android. I also think the extra LG stuff slows down the phone as subjectively its just not as fluid. I've installed Pixel Dark theme and Rootless launcher which I prefer. I'm not thrilled with the sound quality of the earpiece on phone calls, probably because the speaker is quite small. I'd love to see this phone with an Android One ROM and maybe if LG ever releases a bootloader unlock it will happen. In many ways it reminds my of my old Nexus 5x with a longer screen. Perhaps I'll think better of it when/if LG ever updates the phone to 9.0 although at this point I view it as just a holding pattern until 2019 devices are released.

You can try "DC Unlocker -> Bootloader unlock for Huawei devices " from the playstore.. It costs between 1€ and 16€ per unlock .. unfortunately I havent tried their method .. since the IMEI way they once offered is gone (probably due to huawei disabling the service) .. so you can only try to read the code from your phone's bootloader which may or may not work ... they offer a refund if it doesnt work

Yea, already read about it in a german forum, when they announced it in may '18 ... a sad thing they say "improving customer service" when in truth they reduce the service .,.

True thing though that many people bricked their Huawei P / Honor device but only because Huawei blocked all easy ways .. I still remember how easy it was on my good'ol' Galaxy Nexus (3) .. and at that time it was still considered obligatory to offer easy ways because rooting and modding was "fair use" .. Heck they even successfully sued the first manufacturers that tried to block rooting because of this "fair use" practise .. what happened to the world

Same problem here

It's not just openvpn.

I tried some other vpn's and nothing lasts.

They keep on closing every time I open another app.

I think it is a problem of the device's latest update (8.0.0.142).

I tried to fix this problem with several options on the developers option, but nothing happens.

And it is "weird" because this update automatically activates the Developers Option.

I'm still looking forward for a solution tho.
