Hi everyone. I know that it's not a new subject, but I think it's a good subject to discuss about. It's the first question for any developer who wants to start a new project as everyday we can see new frameworks and languages comming up for development. After years of development now when I want to start a new project think about it again. It will be great if any one who has any experience can share it here. Because it's the experiences and times that show us if a decision was a good one or not. We can write about different parameters we considered to start a project, challenges and the results. Please feel free to add any other item you think is important to consider.

I start by myself:

Subject: A Network Communication App

Long/Short term consideration: Long term

Target platforms considered at start: android, windows

Target platforms implemented: after 2 years, android, windows, linux, (ios just newly started)

Framework: Qt5 (a cross platform framework)

Challenges: We used a crossplatform framework but as you know any OS has it's considerations and styles for development. Also different frameworks have different capacities for handling these features. In this project one of the challenges we had was the way android handles services and activities. We had to separate our UI from the logic controllers completely and implement a way to communicate between these separated processes. Also we had to implement the OS based features separately for each OS like notifications and alarms. Fortunately Qt let you use native codes for these specific features. For example you can use native java codes for showing a notification or playing system native sounds and alarms.

Pros: We implemented our UI just once and used it for all platforms. Also we implemented network and controller threads once and used them for all platforms. In this way if we need any change in our protocols or UI, we just develop them once. So we have one development team for all of them.

Result: Cross Platform with Qt was a good decision at that time for that project. Specially for a small team like what we had, because after you implement the base of a project like this you have to support it for a long time and add features to it. If we were using native codes, now we had to have separated teams for developing new features and supporting it.

It's great to read about other people stories. So Please let us know about them.

Thanks

Native vs. Cross-Platform

Native apps are developed only for a specific platform. These apps are formed in a language cooperative with the platform. Apple, for instance, prefers Objective C and Swift for iOS while Google supports Java for Android. Using these satisfactory languages, developers can create safer use of the inherent features of these platforms. A native app developed for Android will not function on iOS and vice versa.

Cross-platform apps are cooperative with various platforms. Due to the market share of Android and iOS, most cross-platform apps are confined to these two operating systems. These apps are produced in HTML and CSS since these official web technologies are platform-independent. Several cross-platform application development tools enable developers to create these apps with little trouble.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] addit10:
I'm having confusion between Realme 2 pro and Asus Zenfone, because Asus has got a massive battery (5000 mAh) and (Snapdragon 636), whereas Realme 2 pro has (Snapdragon 660), but a very low battery (3500 mAh) considering the processor. And I specifically want to buy a phone for gaming (PUBG, Asphalt 9 etc).
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Velosofy:

If you are not fan of notch you can go with asus zenfone maxpro m1 but wait max pro m2 just got announced
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Zepar7:
When can you share details
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] NPriyo:
I would suggest Zenfone, because:

1. Notch displays are not good for gaming & watching videos (for obvious reason - display cutout, so some contents won't be visible).

2. M1's 5000 mAh battery performs very well. You can play for much longer time.

3. SD636 is just Underclocked SD660. And there's Overclocked kernel available for M1 to match the performance. So there won't be, if not then slight performance difference.

Neither Asphalt 9, nor PUBG lags on M1. I personally play Asphalt 9 with High graphics, and PUBG with HD graphics + Extreme FPS. There's no lag or heating issue.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Aftab_khatri:
For gaming i recommend you real me 2 pro

For long term gaming asus m1

Build is plastic on real me while metal in asus

Stock android is in asus while buggy color os is in real me which is not properly optimised.

Rest is you choice. I would go for m1 pro its available for very cheap rate in sell
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] pranavkpr:
You want that color os for life???

The hardware of realme2pro is good...

SD660..

Faceunlock via IR

But you will never be able to flash any custom rom or even root any oppo device because they do not make the kernel sources publicly avaliable...i.e---No developer community/Roms/custom kernels/Root

And..... Color os is very heavy and performace will be compromised

Go for asus

Wait for few days.. I'm guessing 'Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2' is launching...

(pic attached)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] arnabJ:
I have very simple answer for you:

If you consider yourself well versed with Android don't buy any device which has ColorOS or else you will regret.

Reasons:

It will give a constant flashing banner on your statusbar as soon as you enable Developers option, accessibility for any app, Mobile Hotspot, etc. and force you to shut them down.

You won't see any notification icons if the device has a notch (even realme 2 pro although it has very small notch).

Usb debugging will auto disable within 10 minutes of non-usage (it will anyway get disabled as the OS will keep on flashing banner until you disable Developers option).

No bootloader unlocking for any Realme device as of now.

These are few of the worst issues in ColorOS 5.2 right now.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] sallodhi:
Brother you should get realme 2 pro
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] goo.gle:
If you can live with ColorOS and don't mind a smaller battery, go for Realme 2 Pro.

I used Asus Zenfone Max pro me 6gb after using OnePlus 5 8gb. Honestly saying Asus got good network reception than OnePlus 5 >> + asus has massive battery, pubg and asphalt 9 runs extremely well on balanced graphics and high fps. I don't know why people says that Asus Zenfone Max pro has bad network reception. I stay in a very off network place, but I still get good network reception.

Hahah.. Man that's horrible. Much, much worse than Miui.

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

It's happening for some people unfortunately.

For wifi I can wholeheartedly confirm.

Surprised that you have better reception on ZMPM1 than OP5. Good for you.

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

For people buying 15k phones, 7k would be regarded as much of a price difference.

Agree regarding the value part though.

Also superior in every possible way!?

Miui and notch ? (just kiddin)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Aftab_khatri:
Real me 2 probhas 5 main problems

1 sd660 is underclocked like 636

2 screen is tft very old technology

3 body is platic not glass or metal

4 color os is not very good for multitasking and not optimised. Apps getting reload modtly.

5 slow updates

Im also a victim of network issue.

Very poor.

I still remember some Youtuber mentioned that this **** has great cellular call quality.(when i was planning to buy).

[Reception is good but this ****s modem is crazy,call and internet drops like hell].

I choose this piece of crap over RN5 Pro,and that was such a mistake if feel pitty in myselves.

I want to trash it by using a sledgehammer, nothing less
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] akshmau5:
Damn yo! That's some red chilly anger right there.

Connectivity and camera wise RN5P is better, but MIUI ? with the whole ARB crap..

The device does have good development going for it though!
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] arvinchugh:
I've been using stock roms since I started using android phones, miui 10 is actually better than any custom ui out there plus is super easy to root. I would rather stick to miui with great hardware than stock os on weak hardware. Notch don't bother me much so that's personal choice. Realme offers better screen than both phones in terms of brightness and notch. Besides that poco is a total beast when it comes to performance. Here are pro and cons of all 3 phones since i've used all 3 now.

Asus: amazing battery life, great multitasking with stock os, good gaming performce, vibrant color reproduction of screen but brightness is super low and camera literally sucks. Value for money only if bought on discounted prices with bank offer.

Poco: battery life is good but not as good as Asus, screen is brighter than asus but colors are not as good. Miui10 is not that bothersome like previous miui infact I like few features on it. Performance is mind blowing for the price. Easy to root and good dev support. Camera is decent for the price gets better with gcam. It is no brainer at this price point.

Realme: decent battery life, better screen than both asus and poco. Better looking phone than the other two. Performance is on par with asus not much difference. Camera is way better than asus but poco has benefit with newer gcam. There is no way to root this phone or use custom os on it.

If you strictly want to stay under 15k and don't care for root go for realme with eyes closed, if you can spend lil more go for poco and if you want to root your phone and want stock os with decent gaming performance and best battery life under 15k go with asus. Hope this helps cheers!!!

should i wait for ZenFone max pro M2 or buy the 6 gb variant of max pro M1 now??? please suggest
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Sam Solomon:
wait for max pro m2 obviously if you have no issue waiting, if its urgent get m1 (careful about resale value if you plan to sell it for m2 later)

m2 already sounds like a clear winner over m1, i'd say gonna be worth the wait :good:
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] GliderZ:
I haven't used realme but from my experience with ZMPM1 you will be satisfied if you buy this phone. However, there are some Network connectivity issues like WiFi not showing up even if there's reasonable strength. Still if you're connected to a nearby hotspot from a lap or another phone rather than a router then you won't have a prob.

Using max pro m1

Was curious about what happened to realme phones

Now I See you all are discussing.

So let me tell you for the price asus max pro m1 and m2 are best

Signal reception is very good

Tons of custom ROMs and special kernels with overclocked GPU and CPU with high battery backup means continuous gaming

We also have dedicated pubg group on telegram where we share best configuration for gaming and tweaks to to get high fps

With pro m1 you can get constant 50fps in pubg

Cell reception is very good after latest update only problem was no gorilla glass on max pro m1 but then also screen is tough

Overall it is good value for money phone.

Whereas max pro m2 has better GPU then m1 and CGG3 so it is better than max pro m1

And it is not Chinese OEM ,and asus provides quality hardware
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] lord dredd:
Used a lot of brands

I can safely say buy m1 or m2, value for money and pretty solid.

Rsalme can't match.

I have recently installed Satellite internet in a location with no coverage, it works wireless OK with computers through a Linksey router but not with my Sony Xperia XA. It shows my phone is connected with an excellent signal but it does not. When not in this location I have giffgaff and when I move into the Satellite area it is supposed to override giffgaff and connect with Satellite. In the APN section of my phone there is giffgaff and also Untitled, in giffgaff there is all the APN settings

but the Untiteld has none and I am thinking the Untitled is the Satellite connection but I am not sure

what settings I should enter. Thank you.

Good Morning Everyone.

I have problem with connect or pair Dualshock 3 controller to my smartphone, Sony Xperia XZ1 with Android Oreo 8.0.0 OFW. Previously, when I had use Sony Xperia Z3+/Z4 there wasn't any problem with connect by BT and play.

I did that(Z3+): (1)Turn on BT and plug USB OTG(uUSB-B) -> (2)Plug Dualshock3 to the Xperia by USB Cable and USB OTG(at this point Dualshock3 work fine by Cable Connection)-> (3)When InfoDiodes start blinking(you know, inform about charging from device), I double click PS Button-> (4)Diode sign by number 1 start glow continuously(this inform me that the Dualshock3 is Sign for Xperia) -> (5)Unplug usb cable from Controller-> (6)Wait 3-6sec and controller plugged to the Xperia by BT.(No ingeretion and No Pincode etc.)

But now is different. With my XZ1 i can made point (1) and (2)-the same result, but Point (3) do nothing :( Dualshock3 don't sign to my XZ1 by doubleclick PS Button and when I unplug usb cable from Controller, Xperia try to connect and please for some PIN CODE... EVERYTIME! I tried 1234,0000 or xxxx(becuase there is option for write a letters) but this do nothing.

Summary: By cable work perfect in games but by BT not working becuase have problem with Pair Controller.

Please Help!

Please :(

Given that it's now a total lottery as to how long it takes to get a BL unlock code from Xiaomi (could be up to 2 months), what's the best option?

Is it buying one with a Chinese ROM and unlocked BL, then immediately swapping to Xiaomi.EU / Global / RevolutionOS?

I don't much fancy a wait of up to 2 months to use a phone I've bought.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] opasha:
Yes, get it from Tradingshenzen or similar with xiaomi.eu installed. Makes your life way easier. You can literally flash 8.8.9 eu or Revolution OS with a factory reset from TWRP and root.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
Q. Hello,Is this finally true sealed Global Version with MIUI 9.6.7.0 and b20 or still with just Xiaomi.eu rom?Answer:

A. It should be now some 9.9 Version, from September, so no problems anymore.

This tends to suggest that Trading Shenzhen may now be supplying 'official' versions. So unclear whether BL will still be unlocked.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] MrColdbird:
If you pick Xiaomi.eu as the preinstalled ROM it will always be a bootloader unlocked one they send your way.
