[MX Player] timtoolman2k11:
Thanks for your reply. I will try to get the report next time.

In meantime I have tested with exact same (old) version, 1.9.11 + codec pack on fire stick 4K.

I had set HW+ as default for network, same as on the FTV2.

So basically, exactly same set-up, same streams, but on newer hardware.

At first it seemed ok, however:

- setting HW+ as default, at some streams, I cannot FWD, it just jumps back to beginning

- on tv episodes, it starts with HW+, then jumps to HW for some reason (no change in audio or video) - does not happen on FTV2

- on certain movies, it starts with audio on HW+, then jumps to HW modus without audio, makes no sense - does not happen on FTV2

- on movies with multiple audio tracks, in HW modus it plays just one track , cannot switch to other track, stuck in commentary track. same stream in HW+ modus has the main track selected and playing.

All in all very weird, never had so many issues. I just installed it and it would work. What troubles me is that I now have a working FTV2 setup, ubt exact setup does not work on the Fire stick 4K. Very frustrating.

I also found that HDR playback is very dull, very dim, not bright at all. So staying on old version is ok up until 1080P. 4K+HDR is not working ok, but will be probably be fixed in newer version.

I will keep the FTV2 at the now working setup.

I wil re-install latest mx and codec pack on 4K stick and test again.

If I encounter errors, I will try to post bug report. Hopefully that will help the devs to fix this. It seems it is not really liking the new Fire stick hardware for some reason.
[MX Player] timtoolman2k11:
Ok. Did some testing again. Here my results + logs.

- Fire 4K Stick

- MX 1.10.25 (default settings)

- codec pack: https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4656301&d=1543696913

(from a post saying that it worked perfectly on ac3, while another didnt)

- 6 different network streams

---------------------------------

1. 720P X264 - single channel audio (stereo i think)

- starts in HW+

- stays in HW+

- FFWD OK

- keeps playing OK

2. 1080P X264 - multichannel 5.1 audio

- starts in HW

- commentary track on - cannot switch to other tracks

- FFWD not working OK

After a short while:

- restarts video in HW+

- audio main channel on

Very short after:

- switched to SW

- no audio

- choppy playback

Log: report_2018-12-03_194334.zip

-------------------------------------

3. 4K X265 stream

- MX crashes directly after start

- Starting 2nd time, MX starts playing in HW+

- Audio/video OK

- FFWD OK

- Keeps playing ok

Log: report_2018-12-03_194948.zip

-------------------------------------------

4. 1080P X264 stream

- starts in HW

- No audio

- FFWD not working OK

After short while:

- restart in HW+

- audio not starting right away, after about 10s it starts (but sync)

- FFWD OK

- keeps playing OK

5. HD 5.1 audio

- starts in HW

- no audio

- FFWD not working

After short while:

- restart in HW+

- audio working

- FFWD working

- keeps playing OK

Log: report_2018-12-03_200011.zip

--------------------------------------

6. 720P X264 - stereo

- starts in HW

- No audio

Shortly after playing:

- switch to HW+

- audio working

Very short after:

- Switch to SW

- Choppy playback

Log: report_2018-12-03_200412.zip

---------------------------------------------

My conclusions so far:

- Stream 1 starts in HW+, keeps playing OK, no issues

- Stream 4 & 5 should be fixed by setting HW+ default for network streams.

(except for the small delay in start of audio of 4, but that is ok)

- Stream 2 & 6, can partially be fixed by HW+ default, but not the switch to SW

- Stream 3: crash is not OK, but after 2nd try it works OK

- I dont understand why some streams start in HW+, while other start in HW then later switch to HW+

This is now keeping me from using my stick. While on my old FTV2, with old MX it seems to all work just fine.

Seems like it is not liking the new 4K stick hardware / does not seem to see the hardware decoding abilities - which are matching and surpassing the old FTV2.

Hopefully my testing and logs can help you guys to fix these issues. - if fixed it will be an instant Pro buy for me thats for sure!

I have tried other players, but they all have their own issues - and not the level of support of MX devs.

So I will now sit back and wait for the fixes to come on.

Ofcourse I am happy to test again to verify correct workings after updates.
[MX Player] MXPlayer:
The HW decoder directly uses the android mediaplayer framework implemented on the device. So, most of the issues on HW decoder might be caused by the firmware itself. It looks like Amazon has heavily modified the android mediaplayer and media codec frameworks or its implementation has issues. According to the logs, the media server process ( a system process) which plays a vital role in hardware accelerated playbacks (HW & HW+) has died in the midway. So, the player has encountered the issues and switched to the next decoder. So, MX Player doesn't have much scopes for the improvement on this issue.
[MX Player] timtoolman2k11:
Wow really? That would mean everyone with this new device should have these issues. That has not been reported anywhere. All praise for this stick. Or am i the only one to have a faulty one? Very odd.

I installed MX fresh out of the box. I can try to do a reset and re-install. If that doesnt work, then I guess I have to return it.

Is there really nothing you can do to fix this? You are on amazon store as well, right? Then I guess it should work, but it currently doesnt.
[MX Player] timtoolman2k11:
Ok, did a reset of the stick, only installed bare minimum for testing.

Now, it seems to work ok :) !

I guess something was messed up causing the media server issues. Don't know what, maybe some other apps I installed.

Yes, still some streams start in HW, with no audio or wrong audio.

However, I have set HW+ as default - so that is fixed.

I have watched several streams last night, they started in HW+ and kept playing in HW+, all working fine. No fallbacks to SW.

The only issue I have now is the crash on some 4K streams on first play still happens. After 2nd try it works fine. Not a biggie, still would be good if this is fixed.
[MX Player] MXPlayer:
Can you please collect the bug report immediately after the crash?

In your previous bug report, the logs were so limited. Looks amazon has set the log buffer size to the minimum. If it possible, enable the developer option and increase the log buffer side.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] gizzmoffm:
I got my OnePlus 6 a couple of days ago and it is an awesome device.

Hoever I am a bit concerned about the viewing angles.

When I look straight at the screen, the color is a little warm in the whites (very nice), but as soon as I tilt the phone slightly, I notice a cooler white.

The change already starts aroung 15-20 degrees. (note that I am very sensitive with such color changes, some people may notice it later at 30 degrees or more).

So if I look straight in the middle of the screen, the middle is a little bit warmer than top and bottom.

If I tilt the phone very slightly, the warm "spot" moves around.

Is this normal or do I have a bad screen?

I know that this somehow affects most OLED displays, but the small angle makes me wonder if I have a bad device.

Btw. the factory screen protector is still applied, may be makes this effect worse.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Steven Hudson:
Hi there. I have a Xiaomi Mi 8 (from Three) which I have currently got the region set to India, mainly so that I can use Face Unlock, Theme Store, etc.

What I'd like to know is, if I continue to use the Mi 8 under the India region, will I still get the MIUI 10 update when it's released, as its not set to UK?

Thank you for any help on this matter.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] motherninja:
Unlock your BL, install MIUI EU and you can freely choose any themes you want without any stupid restriction from Xiaomi.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Steven Hudson:
Thank you for your response, but I haven't a clue how to unlock the BL and where I'd get a non hacked version of MIUI EU from.

I'd probably end up bricking the phone. lol

I'm just worried that if I keep using it under a different region, I won't receive the update.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] horsetastic:
Usually updates are pushed to phones based on the build number. If yours is a UK variant then it'll have a UK variant build number (most likely). I wouldn't have thought the region setting you put in when first starting & setting up the phone would make any difference. But don't quote me on that...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Steven Hudson:
Many thanks for that.

I initially bought this phone as a work phone, but I actually enjoy using it more than my S8+, plus I've heard that MIUI 10 (plus Android Pie) is way better than MIUI 9.6.

Thanks again.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] horsetastic:
I'm actually not an owner of the phone myself (yet) still torn between this and the Honor 10. Hard to choose between such good budget phones these days.

Glad I could help though.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] jimac:
I can confirm that MIUI 10 based on Pie is WAY better. Just the "OK Google" hotword detection to fix and it'll be pretty much perfect.

I'm in the UK, use mine with both my work and personal SIM in - I'm running the latest ROM from Xiaomi.eu (MIUI 10.2 - Weekly 8.11.23).

It's great.

Also have installed the custom GCam for it, which is superb! I use the Xiaomi cam for video and portrait mode and the Google Camera for everything else - night mode is seriously impressive.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Steven Hudson:
I'm jealous, just for the Google Camera alone. lol

Thank you for your reply.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Steven Hudson:
I bought my daughter the Honor 10 for her last birthday. It's a great looking phone with a very good camera/cameras. The back of the Honor 10 (blue) has to be seen to be believed, it looks amazing.

I must admit, the Xiaomi does have the edge when it comes to the screen, but it is a close battle.

I do love the camera slightly more (it's very close) on the Xiaomi too, but everything just seems a little more stable with the Honor 10 and it's EMUI skin on Android 8. I've had a few older apps that have refused to run on the Xiaomi.

That will hopefully change on the next Xiaomi update.

Help
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] The War Profiteer:
As no one is not giving a answer, so I'll try to help you out.

It's no matter what you have chosen, if you have the stock recovery, you'll always receive OTA updates. You can not change the stock recovery without an unlocked bootloader which can be achieved by the official tool provided by Xiaomi, for further information, use Google.

Unlocked bootloader gives you access to all functions of your device, and this means that you can use even a Pixel device Android "mod", and it's the closest to the native Android.

If you are using IM apps too often, you'll notice that your notifications are not being delivered just in time. also, MIUI has tons of bloatwares and limitations that won't allow you to use your device freely, and appearantly Xiaomi is collecting some "not innocent" data from your phone, so you might want to consider your privacy. These are just my perspective as an user that was on Android for 7 years, I hope you will enjoy your device.

Have a great night.

[Shift General] Pfeffa-rah:
Yes it works!:

Use Shagctrl to lower brightness and then switch it on. The brightness level you chose will be the minimum level.

If you cover the sensor in the top right-hand corner, the screen will dimm. When you aim you flashlight on it, it will brighten.

(at least... mine does...)

However, I don't use it, because my hand will frequently get in the way when I use the touchscreen and then my screen brightens suddenly... Verry anoying.

Hi,

this is a different question, but I didn't want to open another thread.

Who can confirm this?

Vista is running in the "background". Your are in WM, but have shut-down WM. So dark screen. But then exactly when Vista goes into standby (green light starts to blink) the WM screen comes to live.

Is that strange? Or just always the case?

Thanks!

Hi Pantaloonie,

this looks like capital punishment for me, so sorry! Next question from several feet under.

Let me explain:

I am rather a newbie using forums like this, means the does and do nots are not always clear. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

My thoughts were 1. the point was answered and 2. there are so many items on the site that it is not necessary to always start a new thread for every minor problem.

Wrong thinking?

Please, I really do not know, can you clarify? Do you really start a new thread for everything?

Thanks!

S. :o
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
Heh, I was just having a bit of fun, you did nothing wrong. Some forums can be very strict about keeping threads on topic, but we are pretty relaxed here.

The advantage of starting a new thread is that more people will see it, you're more likely to get an answer.
