[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] anthroplus:
Just requested the return of my Mi 8 due to an AMOLED issue.

Shades of dark gray aren't uniform. This is visible in darker environments (like in the bedroom at night).

This is most visible on Reddit dark mode. I can see it on Spotify if I look hard.

---

I'm waiting for the e-commerce store's response. They claim that this has to be validated via their tests.

Also, I'm wondering what my odds are with AMOLED... If I get a replacement, will I get a significantly better display or potentially find another set of issues if I look.

What do you reckon are my odds if I go through with the replacement?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] aoleg:
OLED screens in general are more problematic displaying dark shapes of grey compared to IPS panels. This has to do with manufacturing tolerances of individual light-emitting pixels at low current. This, in particular, is the reason why most OLED panels employ PWM (flickering) to control brightness, applying higher current in short pulses compared to applying constant low current. If you search for "LG G Flex 2 screen uniformity", you'll see some pretty extreme example of this.

That said, with each individual OLED panel and depending on your personal tolerances, your luck may vary. My Mi 8 is very acceptable when displaying dark shades of grey (I don't notice the problem even if it is there). If you received my Mi 8, there is a chance you could spot the issue because your personal tolerance of the problem is lower than mine. My wife uses an LG G Flex 2 and never notices the (very real) problem with its display uniformity (I do!)

In other words, most users are happy with their displays, but it does not mean all of them got a perfect one.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Grana_10:
That's normal. It happens with every AMOLED display. I have a Samsung S8 and it happens in the same way.

It's something common, don't be scared.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] KastrO_on:
That's right I have this issue on my note 9 too. My previous note 9 had this and devices in store had this.

Its normal. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Crossvxm:
"Aren't uniform" meaning you cannot tell the difference in the shades? Grey is a very challenging and controversial color for AMOLED. Use the Display Tester app by Braintrapp from Google Play and try the "Gamma detection" app when you have your device, you'll see it displayed horizontally. Swipe up and down (with the device of course held horizontally, or "landscape" mode) to change the brightness and look at how it displays grey at different brightness levels. Very weird huh?! It's perfectly normal.

I guess you can say it is a "grey area" for AMOLED... :cool:

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] xyourxhighnessx:
I've owned the nexus 6p, OnePlus 5, 5t, 6 and the mi 8.

Tbh I think the mi8 has the worst AMOLED display of all of them when it comes to dark backgrounds in low light. It has like a "jelly scrolling" effect

My avatar on YouTube is solid black and I use the dark mode of the YouTube app....when I'm scrolling through comments i leave on videos with the screen brightness down low there's a noticable trailing effect.

It's not enough to make me want to return it but it's a problem I didn't have with any of the other devices I listed.

I prefer AMOLED to LCD any day.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] anthroplus:
Coming from OnePlus 6, what motivated you to move to the Mi 8?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] xyourxhighnessx:
I bought the op6 with PayPal credit. I bought two and with the op6t coming I decided to sell them instead of paying the remaining balance. At first I intended to go with 6t but in the end I thought I'd try something different.

Since the Nexus 6p all of my phones have been stock/near stock. I thought I'd try something else. I like stock better because I feel there's a learning curve to miui if you're used to stock but overall I like the mi 8. I wish I would've waited for the mi mix 3 though. The sliding design is nice.

The full screen gesture navigation is the best button free navigation I've tried. I haven't used the buttons since nearly the beginning of owning it. It'll suck when I decide to use a non-xiaomi device. I didn't like OnePlus or stock gesture navigation
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Memarco:
well i gotta say, i was afraid to get an bad Screen, too. Especially after reading threads like this. But i can say my screen is perfectly fine. even in lowest brightness. Yes The grays are not that gray as on the screen as on lcd, but thats the same with all amoled screens, and you only see it when u have the exact same app on an lcd screen beside your phone. For the rest its super fine.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] anthroplus:
Yeah. After 3+ months of using the phone, I’m learning to just enjoy it naturally without nitpicking details that don’t practically affect my everyday experience.

If we treat the phone like a baby, there’s an endless list of concerns.

But if you really just use it like you would (without analyzing scenarios that don’t come naturally), so many of these issues don’t matter at the end of the day.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Sigray:
I think the green is much more problematic on amoled displays (on low brightness / Oled Tool)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] anthroplus:
That's exactly what I found.

Now, having said that, we don't use oled tools for practical purposes.

I basically don't notice the issue at all under normal use.

In other words, if I never did nitpick at first, 3 years of normal daily use could pass without me noticing the issue at all.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahir555:
[/COLOR]

I would say it is better to go for pixel or at least nexus 6p

I got nexus 6 , it is ok but got serious problems at least for me .

*Sound from speakers drops too low on below 30% battery

*echo sound problems on custom roms oreo and pie .

Those 2 bugs are pretty common .
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runekock:
The Nexus 6 is particularly good if you like a big screen - and not only big in height, but in width as well. Stereo speakers are also pretty rare. On the other hand, it has no fingerprint reader.

You'll probably need to replace the battery if that hasn't already been done. If you are careful, you can do it yourself.

Loudspeaker lowering has never been a problem for me, though it is widely reported. Echo may get fixed one day; it's only on speakerphone using apps, not ordinary speakerphone.

I would avoid the Nexus 6p, because it often dies and can't be fixed.

The Nexus 6 sounds like a step up from your current phone.

Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting the Samsung evo + u3 128gb or the sandisk ultra uhs-i 200gb.

Which of these cards would work perfectly for the note 9? I have read from somewhere that the note 9 can't fully utilize the speed of the Samsung evo +.

I would like to store my media on the card and 4k footage recorded should be stored directly into the card.

Thanks for the input.

I'm using the Sandisk 400GB and it's been flawless so far.

Go for a Samsung Evo + class 10 high end card. I have a 65 gig one and transfer speed and durability are excellent. They're only 20 bucks. I've had many problems over the years with other brands.

Thanks guys for the recommendation. I finally pulled the trigger on the Samsung evo + 128gb. Been using the same sandisk 64gb since my galaxy s3 days ( about 7 years) just need to upgrade the size . 128 + 128 in total seems about right.

However, the Note9 can't achieve the ideal speed of 90mbps write speed for this card.

90mb is about 11MB/s. Read will always be faster. Write takes longer. It is 2018 and I don't understand why people still don't understand this. But there are many people that believe the Earth is flat in 2018.

I guess you all missed the 400GB Sandisk for $99 on Amazon. I was trying to hold out for Samsung or SanDisk to come out with their 512GB micro SD card but realized it will probably be 12-18 months before price comes down to a palatable level so I settle for the 400GB for $100.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] sherpa25:
Just curious, and to get ideas, guys. What reasons do you have for getting such large SD cards, perhaps lots of photos/videos? Currently still using my old 32Gb SD card from my Note 4 and still works well for backups and photos, plus w/ the Note 9's 128Gb, I've barely reached half. Where do you guys use it for, perhaps I may find some more usefulness for it and get a new, larger one. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Exactly that. Videos, photos, music and documents. I rather have it on my device than access through the cloud.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Deleted member 7436581:
Some people just consume more media and need more space for media than others. Games these days are also quite heavy for storage so they can eat up your internal pretty easily. And just to add to what [MENTION=483134]DarkManX4lf[/MENTION] has said, some users would rather not be at the mercy of data coverage to access cloud storage. Having your media and other files on hand 24/7 regardless of data/WiFi coverage is a valuable option.

If your usage habits currently don't necessitate the use of a large Micro SD card then I don't see the point in replacing the one you have now.

Samsung 512GB SD Card

So I ordered a Note 9 from Samsung.com on Black Friday. On the website they had the 512GB SD Card marked down from $330 to $50 so I ordered it with the phone. I went back to see if I could get extra's but the only way for the card to even show up on the website or the Samsung app was to have a Note 9 in your cart. Anyway, when my phone was delivered they didn't send me 1 Samsung 512GB SD cards, they sent me a package of 10 Cards. PM me if you would like to buy one off me.

Huh, I should apparently read around XDA a bit more, found this thread only now.

In another thread here https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/help/note-9-sd-card-slot-speed-rating-t3833981 (end parts of that thread) I made earlier some measurements on performances of various cards on my Exynos model. Note, the results are only at the "as new" stage, so no idea how they will perform once they get more used (let alone about their reliability). But at least the results are something more useful than the marketing values. Also note that Snapdragon seems to get better results, but naturally, I can't measure those.

Seems the results would have been better list here as they are about the cards (accessories), while the original question there was about phone's connection type (so that was fine to be there). I'm not going to copy the results text into this thread, but here is the link to the google sheet with lots of numbers:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rs8S2yreJYYms6ik8NgoGagZ_6OKrU5bu1FotHJVz6g/edit?usp=sharing

P.S. Got the 400GB Sandisk Extreme today, so its results might appear in couple hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bubbathaluva:
Look, I understand how most of you don't think they are legit. Seems too good to be true, right? You want me to post pics and the packing slip from Samsung. I would be happy to do that, but even if I did, it wouldn't guarantee the authenticity of the SD Cards. The pics and packing slip from Samsung can easily be faked. Even if the pics and slip weren't faked, I could get fake ones off Ebay, use my story to get you to bite and send fake ones anyway. At some point, you just have to take a leap if you want to take a chance at saving over 50%. Also, Ebay, Paypal, and most credit cards all have safeguards against scams. Before I broke down and bought my Note 9 from Samsung, I made several attempts to get one from the Facebook marketplace. One dude took $650 from me, and even sent me a tracking number. The item never came. However, between Paypal and my bank, I got my money back within the day. I took a leap to save about 50% on a phone. It didn't work out that time, but sometimes it does.

Anyway, I've already sold one on Ebay. I'll sell the rest there since you guys are so skeptical. My Ebay seller name is Bubba1175. If you see one of my cards on there, its me, its legit, and if it isn't Ebay will refund you and you can leave negative feedback.

So, I decided to apply to unlock my bootloader. I started following this guide.

I created a Mi account, but I was not greeted by a form to write the reason I wanted to unlock the bootloader.

A little baffled there, but I decided to proceed (maybe the form was in the app). I proceeded to the unlock page and voila! I had the link to download the Flash Tool. And so I did, I ran the miflash_unlock.exe and filled in my account and password.

Next I plugged in my phone in fastboot mode, as it was needed (I had not enable OEM Unlock in Developer Options nor had I associated my device with my account), and I was greeted with this image:

What am I doing wrong? The Unlock button is active (meaning I can click it), but I don't want to brick my phone a couple of days after I bought it.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Dhaval.Savalia:
You're not doing anything wrong. Now you don't need to apply for permission. Instead go ahead and start Unlocking process. You will be promoted with a message saying that you need to wait for some amount of time (72, 360 or even 720 hours) depending on your model.

Bind your Mi account with your device first.

Go to settings > additional settings > developer options > here you'll find the option to bond your Mi account with your device.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] thatu:
Hello,

I recently purchased the XZ2 and overall I am happy with it however the battery life isn't great and it seems the problem is that the phone doesn't go often into deep sleep. I am looking at the battery info by the phone as well as the app called accu battery. Attached are a few screen shots

Overnight the phone was in deep sleep for only 1 hr despite having wifi and blue tooth turned off. Also as you can see from the graph, the battery only slows down discharging when I turn the phone to airplane mode and the graph starts to flatten.

And what is RCS ?

I think the battery is good when the phone is being used but something is happening when the phone is not!

Can anyone shed a light on this ?
