[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] witchfindergeneral329:
It's running the same Snapdragon 636 chipset, that can hardly be called an upgrade.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] LeekGeek:
Chipset is exactly the same, I dont know where you are going with this.

Front dual camera is one of the (if not the) most useless thing you can add to a phone and charge for it.

And wow, you consider the 'notch' an upgrade.

Cool.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
from S2, A2, N3, N5 5A, N5p, n6, all similar family, doesn't worth buying again..

moreover I bought Rn5p, A Xaiomi fone after 3 years ( previously I had Redmi3s..)

and frankly I am quiet disappointed with

1. Screen Viewing Angles

2. poor stock vibrancy,

3. had to use Kcal or else the world seems gray! but even with kcal, viewing angles manage to give water in my eyes!, and on Kirks kernel, whenever screen goes off, kcal settings need to be reapplied whenever i switchon the screen again (maybe its Kirks kernel...? )

4. THE WHITE NAVBAR :eek: which turns black on all the wrong screens and STAYS white on ALL THE WRONG SCREENS :(

5. KEYBOARD SWITCHER not being part of navbar ( i use swiftkey also) , i always have to swipt down in the notification panel in order to switch between keyboards

6. LOW VOLUME,, even modded mixer path file can do this much ONLY!

coming from Xperia I always thought that sony's drm policy is (bitc##) but now come to think again; Xaiomi's policies of user control is even stranger than sony's

1. Xperia can be flashed (boot locked or unlocked or bricked) by using third party flasher easily where Xaiomi there is need to Authorised account in order to flash fastboot rom!

2. there is no test point theory in xperia , but if your 2018 Redmi phone gets bricked, you must REMOVE PANEL and touch test points with Tweaser in order to goto EDL MODE to FLASH FB ROM using your AUTHORISED ACCOUNT.... :(

3. with SONY there is not waiting period of thousands of hours before unlocking the boot-loader, you buy now and withing 5 mins you can get your unlock key! where in Xiaomi minimum waiting perioud is 360 hours and even 720 hours and I even read user complaining that after 720 hours he was given second round of waiting period :(

I think Xiaomi phones are AMAZING if you wana try and take part in kernel & Rom development for sake of community , self enrichment or even as hobby, but as Daily driver , i end up making alot of compromisations over my usual smartphone ideal preferences (specailly on Stockrom)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Sanjay022:
Hell yeah man I taught the chipset was upgraded but no anyways the order is been placed and payment is done. So let's see after using the phone ill share my thoughts on how much it differs or performs well compare to Note 5 Pro.

Yes, Bro, I didn't check it properly

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SunilSuni:
Redmi note 6 Pro is definitely a upgrade for those people who were using redmi note 3 and Redmi note 4 but not for Redmi note 5 pro users

But strangely Redmi note 6 Pro camera is improved as compare to Redmi note 5 pro and it is available for lesser price than the Redmi note 5 pro

My brother in law ordered redmi note 6 Pro 6GB RAM variant and he was using Redmi note 3

Being a Redmi note 5 pro user I dont like to upgrade to any mobile atleast for 2 or 3 years
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] karan11000:
Do you think it's possible to replace the rn5p camera module with rn6p's camera? They physically look similar (circuit-wise) and they run under the same processor and other specs are also similar.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] N1ck474:
You will have a lot of troubles with drivers, sources and so on, every update will break your camera, if it's really possible to replace
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] von_block:
Just install Gcam and crush any picture upgrade the note 6 could have.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] renoxtv:
The camera modules on Rn5 can probably be upgraded. I got the AI variant of rn5 with upgraded cameras, 1 samsung sensor from the S7 and another samsung depth camera. RN6p has the same cameras as Rn5 AI and i heard they keep libs of both rn5 pro and rn5 ai cameras in the firmware.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] m666p:
Wait, don't the global and AI versions have the same camera module?

Lol, even if they don't the 6's only upgrade is the notch, which I consider a downgrade anyways...

Edit: yeah, global and ai AND note 6 have the same camera module. Why even launch the note 6, all it adds is a notch to the note 5....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] renoxtv:
Global version seems to be the AI one and Indian seems to be Pro but not sure. But yeah, apart from the crappy notch the "upgrade" is the 2 front cameras, one is a 20MP sensor probably the same as indian RN5p and a 2mp probbly crappy depth sensor. Really a joke
[Samsung Gear S3] 5ham5h33r:
So, I basically got my Gear S3 Frontier from UAE and it had Samsung Pay installed in it but I never tried using it, on coming to India I realised I should change my CSC to INU for better compatibility in Samsung pay.. but doing so just made my Samsung Pay to disappear off of my watch.. on more research I found out that Samsung pay for gear was never officially launched in India... Which is weird because it has been quite some time since Samsung pay was launched in India.. people use it on their phones. Anyways, back to the topic I switched my CSC again to XAR and got back the Samsung pay app however, it doesn't support any of the cards that I have also, it asks for 5 digit zip codes while adding cards whereas India has 6 digit zip codes. Does anyone have any idea or would like to suggest any other CSC which might support more Indian cards? Also, any news on whether Samsung plans to release SPay on gear in India?
[Samsung Gear S3] ankushgautam:
My sbi,icici and hdfc cards works fine on xar code...in 5 digit pin u have to add any random zip code of us..its a bit of hit and trial method with the pin but u will surely get it working...
[Samsung Gear S3] leepriestenator:
I have the same issue, but only with Citibank. They refuse to allow authentication unless the proper 6 digit pincode has been inputted.

I might have a solution, but it requires someone to test it out..Link below

[Samsung Gear S3] 5ham5h33r:
https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/gear-sport/changing-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324

Use this method instead to change CSC.. what phone are you using? Make sure you pass safety net and also hide all Samsung apps using magisk hide if you're rooted
[Samsung Gear S3] 5ham5h33r:
Any luck with this so far? My theory is that it's not just the country code because of which some Indian cards fail to get added, it is possible that it checks the list of approved banks based on the region that is set which is why cards used only in India fail to get added as they are not intentionally recognised despite having spay support in India
[Samsung Gear S3] sendhiloo7:
I am able to use Samsung Pay in India with CSC change method, but I can only able to add HDFC , Others showing not supported , please contact bank [emoji10]

Is there anyone experiencing multi-touch issues on Realme 2 pro. Something like hyperactive touch in lumia 535 while charging. Something not so hyperactive but similar to it.

Yes, it does occurs sometimes when charging but rarely. After nearly a week of usage, i have only seen it two times while charging.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] infinitor:
There are some custom ROMs that ship with Gcam. I was wondering if the Gcam in these ROMs is different than the ones ported by Arnova and other devs for the Oneplus 5T. Are those Gcams the same thing? Or are they different i.e. more stable and better?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Anubhav00:
I used liquid remix for a while and it was ARNova82 itself but the front camera worked phenomenally as I guess the camera 2 API was enabled and the gcam itself was natively installed and not as a third party app. The portraits looked straight out of a pixel and I faced no issues on any of the features.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
They're the same ones. Developers choose whichever they wish to package into their custom firmware.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Condemned87:
Hey,

I have a problem. Since a few days I could observe that the battery drain are highly increased, up to 40% over night.

I decided to wipe my phone and flash the newest firmware MIUI10. I put a USB cable in my phone and connected it to my PC.

No response.. huh? Ok, just save my personal files via WLAN, no problem. Done.

I goes to TWRP and wiped all datas. Then I rebooted into Fastboot Mode (volume - and power), done.

I started MI flashing tool (in advance I've downloaded the firmware from officall MI website), connected my phone... nothing happenend. Tried several computers, I also tried to connect a USB device via OTG cabel in TWRP. Nothing works.

Whats going on? Any ideas? I'm really frustrated. The phone is just 6 month old, I flashed firmwares many times before. I think the problem is defective USB port.. but maybe I have just a simple logical error?

Thank you very much in advance.. and sorry for my english, I tried my best. :D

Best regards

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkyenergy:
Hello,

I have a motorola Moto Z2 Force. Like many other motorola, it has a problem: the minimum Media volume (one step above mute) is WAY to lout. (step one is about 36% of the max scale).

In Engineer mode you can set values for each step. But on my Moto there is no Engineer mode since as far as I understood it is only available for Mediatek devices.

I am wondering, in wich file are the volume steps defined? I would like to edit them manually. (>Yes my device is rooted..)

I do not want to use programs like precise volume or things like that.. I would just like to edit the setting and have it done.. I already increased the steps of the slider.. but that does nothing more than adding more steps between 36% volume and 100% volume.

I would like to transform that 36% to about 5%...

I am on Android 8.0.0 latest security update.

Thank you!

Best regards

Sharky

Also sometimes there is a light blue Background in the recent apps view, like if you select something.

Ich wish in the near future there will be an option to use navigation like in Stock Android. I've tried it out and it makes Multitasking really comfortable.

Anyone have a CHUWI Hi8 SE 8-inch Android 8.1 Oreo Tablet?

I was looking on Amazon and the specs seem pretty good, but I've never really heard of the company.

Are they any good?

Reliable?

I'm tempted to buy one.
[General Questions and Answers] Neuromancer:
I just got one today, haven't had much time to try it out yet. I'll write more next time.

In the meantime, I also have a few questions regarding the Chuwi's Android flavor (for anyone that might know the answers):

- With the default setup/launcher, is there really no way to customize the toggles in the notification area?

- Is it possible to use gestures instead of the bottom row 3 buttons? Haven't found the related settings anywhere yet.
[General Questions and Answers] Junkhole:
I bought this tablet recently. It is a great value for the money!

Great screen, vanilla Android 8.1.0, no bloatware, 32gb storage.

My only complaint is that I'm completely unable to format SD card as internal (it has the option) or move apps to SD (there is no option). It's really weird and I'd like to figure this out!
[General Questions and Answers] davidj863:
I love it so far. Using it mounted in car for Waze navigation and Amazon music with everything automated through Automate Android app.
[General Questions and Answers] Neuromancer:
I agree, it's a great value for money, and unlike some (?) Xiaomi devices (which are actually great as well), it comes without bloatware and the kill-me-now privacy policy (and I can pretty much disable all apps I don't need, which was impossible on my last Xiaomi "trip").

And their support is even more responsive than that of my bank. :cool:

Other than that, I miss gestures (the bottom 3-button row on the screen is the only way to go), and I installed Nova launcher because I didn't really like the default one.

One more thing... the recovery mode is in Chinese - can someone post a translation of the first level menu?

It's not a bad tablet. Build-quality is pretty good and for the money, it is a good value. My only problem with it is that it doesn't recognize any of the Micro SD cards I put in (cards are fine as I tested them in other devices).
[General Questions and Answers] Neuromancer:
Came across some weirdness in one of the two system updates sections - namely, every now and then, the checking for updates fails, and the status line says

Failed to connect to fota5t.xxx.com/0.0.0.0:443

(see the screenshot below)

Sometimes it gets resolved correctly in the same session. My guess is they (Chuwi?) have issues with DNS or are attacked occasionally.... I mean, why in the world would the update URL end in xxx.com :D (the 0.0.0.0 IP is probably one of my blockades, on the other hand).
