[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Cirra92:
-For the first issue: my best guess is that the orientation of the polarization filter is wrong within the display assembly itself, but how did the manufacturer not realize that, I don't understand. You can just slightly tilt the phone left or right and you'll be able to see without problems. As for the glass protectors, mine doesn't help, though there are claims that some protectors do help, don't know about Nillkin. Chances are that glass would help rather than plastic, but you can try.

-You would need unlocked bootloader for ADB commands, so that would be a no.

We don't need unlocked bootloader to debloat MIUI apps using adb commands
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] zolo111:
Yeah, I managed to remove a bunch of stock apps with no issue (mi browser, feedback, mi notes..etc). I didn't remove the default dialer though, but set google's dialer as default. But why does it keep on asking which sim card to use for every call I try to make, even though I set 1 sim card for calls in the settings?

As for the polarization issue, I guess I'll try different screen protectors and see which works. I hope other people can post their experience.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Cirra92:
Yep, my bad, I mixed up that withediting build.prop file, don't know why, it was late when I replied :D

My guess would be that Google dialer may need to be system app, or may not function properly without dialer framework, not sure since I'm using one sim only.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Bonny96:
Hi guys,

I tried to update my Bln-l21 from emui 5 (nougat) to emui 8 (oreo) using the guide https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-update-to-emui-8-t3807806

It worked so I went on to install TWRP from https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/development/rom-emui-8-0-0-honor-6x-dual-sim-t3794079, as suggested in a comment on the guide.

Only then I realized that in order to install Gapps I needed GSM installer, so I downloaded it, but it didn't work because it loaded TWRP instead of the stock erecovery.

I started to panic real bad

I tried reinstalling the firmware using hwota8 (since i had upgraded i figured i had to use that), but it completely destroyed my phone.

Now it wont boot, recovery wont boot and neither erecovery. I can only get it to enter fastboot.

I know, I am a total noob, but PLEASE help me out on this, i'm desperate.

Thank you so much
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] galapagos:
If you can enter into fastboot, just install twrp, boot into twrp and flash the ROM using HuRUpdater. Use your external storage for the HuRUpdater and the ROM files. The instructions are here: https://xdaforums.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279

Before flashing through Hurupdater wipe system Cache Data Internal and Dalvik/ART Cache.

Thank you for the answer, I was able to boot in TWRP (the one in the original post) and I downloaded Huru, but I'm unsure of which firmware to use. I want to downgrade back to nougat and rebrand back to europe (since the guide in the original post made me change to china).

Thank you again
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Just use China and then install a custom ROM
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Bonny96:
which one should I choose from firmware finder?

Which rom do you recommend?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Just use the original files you used in the first place. The ones you downloaded from the thread. In terms of a custom ROM there is a thread in Custom ROMS section for Pixys OS. Just search stable Pie ROM for Honor 6x and install it. It's very smooth, etc.

This is a EMUI 8 ROM. If you want to go back to EMUI 5 don't use this. This will only restore EMUI 8. After that flash Custom ROM Don't go back to EMUI 5
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Bonny96:
Hi, I successfully flashed with Hurupdater and I'm going trough the installation of the pixys rom. The guide says that i need to flash the stock recovery for my device, where can I find it?

Can I pull it from the firmware I used for Huru? If that's the case, how?

Thank you again
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
I do have instructions over there but cause you asked I will tell.

Extract the Update.zip the large file. In it you will have an Update.app. Now serach for Huawei Update Extractor on XDA and Download it. Run the application and navigate to Update.app. Select it and in settings of Extractor uncheck the first option. Now extract Recovery_Ramdis.img and flash it. Luck.

Thank you so much! Now the phone is working again, I'm only having trouble flashing magisk (it doesn't show up among the apps) but i guess i can live without it for now...

Have you got a paypal or something? I wanna buy you a coffe, it seems the least I can do to repay your kindness and patience!
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Really there is no need for that. I did what anyone would do. Your thanks is enough.

Can you tell me what version you flashed. What TWRP did you use and what was the message after flashing.Now regarding Magisk, I am gonna assume you flashed the ZIP and the Magisk Manager app didn't show up, correct? To solve that just download Magisk Manager v6.0.1 and install the apk.

If that's not the issue then download any Root Checker app to see if device is rooted. Although I guess you need Magisk Manager to validate Root access. So just install Magisk Manager and let me know what it says. If it says device is unrooted then you probably need to flash Magisk again.

P.S: I don't have a PayPal. Not yet available in my country.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Bonny96:
I really appreciate your kindness,

I flashed the latest version of magisk available from the official thread using the same TWRP from before (king of mezi TWRP from elemental rom thread) and it looked fine... Yes, the app didn't show up, I will try with the manager and I'll let you know.

[edit] I installed the manager and turns out it actually worked the first time and I'm already rooted!

The question is: I made a backup of everything when it was wm 6.0, can I restore it after upgrading, knowing it is a different rom, and the wm version is the 6.1????

Thanks again!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kyphur:
No,

Don't do it, you'll have to hard reset because there are too many differences between the Roms (even when changing between WM6 Roms).

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
I have recently bought a Poco F1 and I need a good pair of earphones. I have a Samsung earphone, but I am afraid to use it. The last time I was in a Xiaomi service centre for my Mi A1, one of the technicians suggested me not to use Samsung earphones. He said the headphone jack on Samsung has a bit different shape even though 3.5mm headphone jack is universal. Samsung 3.5mm jacks are a bit narrow on the edge and thick at the bottom/end. Due to this structure, if it's pushed hard, the 3.5mm port may get damaged or loosen in a long run. After hearing this, I stopped using Samsung earphones (except Samsung devices) and now I am looking for a earphones which can produce perfect balanced music (not heavy bass or heavy treble). I was thinking of going for Xiaomi earphones, but the reviews are not good. Can someone please help me??

Thank you!!

I bought some Xiaomi Mi Youth earphones. Only about€5 and really nice sound quality (especially with the phone set to the right EQ for the earphones in settings)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Demian035:
Depends a bit on your taste, and the situation you want to use them.

For my home, I use a Sony MDR-10RNC, they are amazing in terms of sound quality. And I also got them pretty cheap, like 50 dollars, they were originally like 200 so I got a pretty got deal, sadly since they are also a bit old, like 6 years, you might have trouble to find them on that price.

For exterior, I use Bluetooth headphones, the Jaybird X2 you can find them also around the same price, or X1 cheaper, they sound quite great for bluetooth headphones, they are sweat proof, but I have use them on rains and never had a problem with them. They also deliver very good sound with poco, and to me they are very practical for subway or streets.

Hope it was from help! :)

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] jineshpatel30:
You can go for sennheiser one they are bit costly but has perfect balance between bass & treble. crystal clear sound as per my liking.

BUT what ever you go, go with earbuds which provide buttons so that you can change the song using it as in MIUI there's no provision to skip song via volume button on phone.

Oneplus 1st gen is also good option. (it has mic & 3 buttons and good sound at cheaper rate, afaik sennheiser one with same would cost you around twice as much)

1. KZ ES4 (about 14$)

2. Rock Zircon (about 11$)

3. Tin audio T2 (about 35$)

All of them can be bought from aliexpress/gearbest and more than justify their price. Currently rocking an ES4 with my Poco and very happy with them. Hope it helps.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] 3DRIAN:
Keep your impedance low (true for wired earphones/headphones)

Good day, if you wanted to have better earphones just make sure to keep track with their impedances.

Keep your impedances in this range (earphones, IEMs, and the likes): 20 ohms or below, you can do up to 25 ohms max but that's really a gamble, I've seen that [MENTION=9556258]prateekj1993[/MENTION] has posted a 25 ohm KZ ES4 and it works so I guess I'll adjust my recommendations up to 25 ohms as before I only suggest up to 20 ohms.

For headphones, you need to do lower impedance than earphones due to bigger speaker driver. You should keep your impedance below 16 ohms for higher peak volume, anything greater would make you crank you volume to max everytime as what I always did on my 19 ohms (passive mode) MDR-NC8 headphones. Active headphones with their own dedicated volume is an exception OFC.

Here's what I have:

1. KZ ZS6 (15 ohms).

2. KZ ZS5 (16 ohms).

3. MDR-NC8 (17 ohms active, 19 ohms passive).

I advice anyone posting here about their recommended earphones or IEMs to post the model name and the corresponding impedances. Thank you for reading. :D

Well impedance is not a parameter for audioquality

If you have the money and you want one of the best planar magnetic inears: audeze isine 10 or isine 20

They sound like big overears of even like a soundsystem, amazing iem's i have the isine 20 and its par on par with the audeze lcd 3 bigger brother
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Xerk-Xes:
I believe it's not fully utilized because the Direct HD used the 24 bit upon an update but unfortunately i messed it up by going into the Audio Settings of the Output which reverts it back to the 16 bit.

Otherwise the sampling frequency options work fine.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] smouker:
I recently bought the OnePlus Wireless Bullets.

Im really happy with those earphones so far

The magnetic functions work so far really well. Auto disconnect and auto connect work. The only thing that does not work is autoplay function when they are connected, but I wouldn't like it anyway.

They have a Type-C connector and Dash Charge.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] 3DRIAN:
WTF dude, did you just say that impedance is not a parameter for audio quality? Impedance matching is the first thing you should do when you want to match your speaker/earphones/headphones to your amp. Anyways it is known that Poco F1 can drive in-ears up to 25 ohms so your isine 10 and 20 (both 24 ohms) is well within range.

FYI impedance dictates the volume and also how the audio quality behaves all-throughout the volume range. If you match your Poco to a 32 ohm headphones, you'll have a very low volume output even at 100%. Audio quality is nil when you can't hear a decent sound.

Do you know what people does when they blindly bought 32 ohm in ears for Poco? They complain that Poco's sounds too low. You're lucky that your isine is 24 ohms if you have that kind of mindset towards impedance.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] whrynox:
I'd recommend you to buy a good DAC cable first since the audio output isn't good for me. You can get Venture Electronics Odyssey for budget or Sonata HD II for a bit higher price range.

For the IEM's, I'd say go for music/audio shops and audition each earphones you find there. Each one has different preference depending on music genres and artists. I currently use KZ ED16 which has balanced sound signature in case you want a reference.

i am using rock zircon actually , having issue with google assistant popping up randomly
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] prateekj1993:
I actually had a similar issue with my Rock Zircon while using it with my Redmi Note 3. Google assistant started popping up randomly, songs would change automatically and sometimes even the volume would change. I figured out it was a problem with my phone's headphone jack as the same earphones worked perfectly fine in my brother's Redmi Note 3. RN3 was actually notorious for a faulty headphone jack design and perhaps I had a faulty piece as I had to remove a lot of lint that got accumulated in the jack many a times. Surprisingly, some other earphones like Sennheiser CX275s seemed to work fine with the phone. I would have to assume it was somewhat related to the sensitivity of the earphone's connection to the jack that caused the issue.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] jody2k:
You misunderatood sir: i mean higher impedance doesnt mean better audioquality. These days almost all new highend headphones are low impedance between 30 - 90 ohm. Ofcourse you need to match your impedance of your headphones to your amp, you need a amp that can drive higher impedance headphones if you have 1 like for example sennheiser hd 650 which is 300 ohm. This phone can only drive headphones of 30 ohm max thats correct but the dac in pocophone f1 is pretty good soundquality i sold my LG v20 (quad dac) bcause the differences were subtile
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] 3DRIAN:
Very good in-ears but NOT for Poco F1.

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

I am sure that I read it right and I have nothing to misunderstood from your previous comment. lol. But I get your point anyways.

Your LG V20 does have better audio specs than Poco F1 but in your case, you did not pair it with high-end high impedance headphones in order for all of its DAC to activate. Its a good thing that you sold it.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ronald_loulan:
I just recieved mine, it sound alot better than my piston 3.

But I do notice it's abit low on the volume side.

Set MIUI EQ + Poweramp and now the volume are slightly better.

Anyways the only concern left is the pubg in game sound are too low even at max volume..
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] 3DRIAN:
Yeah, that's what I noticed too through comments of other users on MIUI forums. I have a KZ ZS6 (15 ohms) and I rarely crank up the volume past 50%. I can say that mine was being overpowered but it would be much better if I have an IEM with at 20 -25ohms.

Your earphones would be drivern underpowered by the F1 but if you have a much capable amp, you'll hear a much better sound (assuming all other things are the same) than the F1.

Hey I'm planning on buying the KZ ES4 for my Poco F1.

How is the sound quality? Is it loud enough??

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] prateekj1993:
The ES4 work very well with the Poco. I don't listen to music at very high volumes but I rarely push the music volume over 60-70% on my Poco with the ES4s so I guess loudness shouldn't be an issue.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sujitmohanty2012:
Hi! I have a couple of questions for you. I have a JBL T150A (16 ohms) that used to give me excellent sound output on my Lenovo K4 Note . But it gave awful sound when I used it on my Redmi Note 5, Nokia 5.1 Plus or currently the Poco F1.

Meanwhile, when I used Nokia's earphones with nokia 5.1, music quality was much better.

1. Could you throw some light on this? I am thinking on getting the KZ ES4 for the poco!

2. How do I make sure, the sound quality (not the loudness) won't be awful when choosing an earphone for poco f1.

3. How does ZS6 compare with ES4?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] 3DRIAN:
One does not simply buy an audio peripheral and expect that it will sound the same on all your available devices.

The reason why Lenovo K4 Note has the best audio quality (in your example) was that:

1. It uses a dedicated Wolfson DAC (wm8281).

2. It uses a dedicated audio amplifier.

The reason why one phone is better than the other is that the respective components the manufacturer has built for its audio.

I always associate audio quality to a smartphone's components, the DAC and the AMP. But in Poco, there was not enough information of what kind of amp it uses, its just that the amp is weak (based on user reviews), audio quality otherwise is clean and accurate (referring to GSMarena's test because their testing is objective and not based on my own feelings). This means that every smartphone with different components should not be compared directly atleast, of course we could, but it's kind of illogical in a sense that one phone is unique (hardware-wise). This means that if you are to buy a smartphone for audio, look at the DAC and the AMP being used and not its price. If you already have the phone then buy something that the phone could drive.

On to the ES4:

I would say that it could be driven by Poco F1 based on its impedance. That's it, I don't have any experience because I never tested it. Was it better than ZS6? IDK because what is better is always subjective, I advise you to search about its own audio signature.

Note to self:

1. Every phone has different sound signature due to the difference in their internals. Every phone is different some may sound better than the other.

2. Price does not signify better audio (for the smartphones).

3. Treat every phone differently because of #1. Expecting Pocophone to sound like the K4 Note is just nonesense well unless they both have exactly the same audio hardware.

4. New phone does not mean better audio, known fact.

5. Also search about the sound signature of the earphones, it does matter.
