[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matase:
Is there a way to connect iphone and/or android phone to act as a controller on nvidia shield? I have 3 xbox one controllers but apparently they are not bluetooth version like I thought. I don't want to buy new controllers just for the nvidia shield. I want to try out some party games like Sonic with my friends over the New Years eve. It would be great if anyone that wanted to play could connect their smartphone to use as a controller. I tried android app BTcontroller but it wasn't recognized as an accessory on nvidia shield.

is this possible? I played bomb squad game with my GF using their own app controllers. Other games like Sonic don't have that though.

Droidmote Server runs on the ShieldTV (requires root, and might have been broken by the 7.2 update) and the client runs on an Android phone. It can be tricky to set up, but the developer made a number of videos to help.

It looks like there isn't a root available yet for 7.2. I did more research and I might try cetus play.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jim262:
If you have unlocked the TMO variant and flashed International rom (9.0.9) version from McLaren edition, what's the difference. Got my TMO variant for $300.00 and the McLaren is $699.00.? What did the extra four hundred dollars get you? Is there something I'm missing?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] audioman42:
The difference would be in the hardware - 2GB more RAM, faster charging, orange instead of black. If those aren't worth $400 to you, then you're not missing out.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jim262:
If the extra ram is never accessed and all the hardware is the same, do you think with the software from the McLaren edition I will be able access Warp 30 charge? Doesn't sound like much of a difference. $50-$100 perahaps, but selling you the same stuff with a new name for an extra $400?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
No.

The hardware is different. It will never Warp charge if it is not the McLaren version.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jim262:
How is the hardware different?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
The battery charging circuitry is different.

The traces on the board, etc are designed to carry more current.

This according to OnePlus.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jim262:
Are you sure? I have heard everything is the same, the only difference is the software version and it isn't currently turned on in the 9.0.7 software version, where it is turned on in the 9.0.9 version.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
save your money and start an IRA; your tmo phone never uses all the RAM it has, so why get even more "unused" RAM?

Another 400 bucks to charge the phone 10 minutes faster????
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] pkadavid:
To be clear, the phone that you got is $580, not $300. You happened to pay $300 due to a special offer that not everyone can get. The question is what do you get for the extra $120, not $400.

Also, the closest comparison is the 8/256 model for $630, so the question is really what do you get for the extra $70. You get 2 extra GB of RAM, faster charging, and the unique look of the McLaren model.

Yes, it's different hardware. There are reviews out there.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...orange-accents-and-30w-warp-charging-for-699/
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jim262:
I realize it was a special offer. So what? That is what I paid for the device and I traded my old OP 3 for it. But all of that is irrelevant, what I would like to know is there a difference in the hardware between the 6T and the McLaren Edition, what is it (Specifically)? I have heard people saying there is a physical difference and others that say the devices are identical and it merely a software difference where the capabilities are activated in one but not the other.

Some real answers would be helpful. Thanks
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] pkadavid:
Your question was answered in my post (along with a reference link) as well as by others that replied.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jim262:
Just saying it or an article that fails to mention specifics doesn't answer the question. Please give a technical reference or I would like to hear if someone has flashed 9.0.9 and tried the Warp 30 charger. Generalities from an article that was probably written using press clippings probably provided by OnePlus is not a true test or answer.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] pkadavid:
XDA also posted an article testing the charger along with both the regular 6T and the McLaren.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jim262:
I read that article. The regular 6T wasn't running 9.0.9. I want to know how that particular software that comes with the McLaren is different from the 9.0.7, which is the latest for the standard 6T.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tengtengvn:
What! You got the 6T for $300. Dang, you must feel superior to others when you got the phone for $300. So smart, man. I want to be like you when I grow up.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dreinulldrei:
Devices share same model number 6013. Therefore I must doubt the hardware was changed. It's like a law that when you change hardware you change the ID or sub-revision etc. to be able to identify this yourself. I think the changed hardware sits in the charger itself.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Lepa79:
Trading in a phone with T-Mobile to get credits spread out over 24 months is why you got your phone for $300.

Just to be far, T-Mobile variant is $580 and McLaren is $699. That is a $119 difference not $400.

So you are getting warp charge, 2 gb ram extra, and 256 gb vs 128gb. PLUS McLaren inspired design. All that for $119. I don't think that is outrageous. Priced Right.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jim262:
You don't get it. Here is an example of what I am referring to. The TMO variant has one sim card and one IMEI associated with it, however when you flash the International rom, the second IMEI and sim become active. In other words, it was there all along and merely software activated. Could this not be possible with all 6Ts? It would seem more likely, as well as cost effective, to develop one phone with slight variations in software versus developing several phones side by side with different hardware and technologies. Since they are legally required to drop the name Dash, going forward everything will be Warp and since all versions of the 6T we're built simultaneously, it makes little sense that they would release the same phone (a month apart) that have totally different technological capabilities. It makes more sense that the differences are merely software related. Different physical phones, that are the same model, would create multiple headaches when it would come to support. That is why in Enterprise scenarios, the same hardware is rolled out to the masses, with only software differences determing what can and can not be done or accessed with any device.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nbhadusia:
Hey Jimmy. The McLaren has different hardware. The 2GB RAM isnt just magic'd up with firmware. The battery technology is different from the regular 6T as well is the internals of the 6T to support the greater power input of the 30W warp charger. It charges to 50%, 50% quicker than the regular 6T. Cosmetically, the McLaren looks so much better. Is it with the extra dough, hell yeah, everytime. Id sell your basic model or return it or something if I were you and get the McLaren.. maybe too late though. Sold out.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
It's different.

Even if the battery is the same (it's not) he charging circuitry on the phone IS different.

There was an interview with OnePlus and they indicated that the traces (wires) that connect to the charger and battery are larger to support more current.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nbhadusia:
Here you go Jimmy, in quoting here from an article within OnePlus' app ...

'The Warp Charge 30’ Power Adapter's power all goes to a single cell. The large amount of power it produces inevitably generates a large amount of heat. To overcome potential safety issues from overheating, our engineers altered the safety mechanisms of the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition's battery assembly. They upgraded the components of the battery protection structure to allow for the larger current, and added an eight-layer protection board to the battery to provide more efficient cooling.'

So to sum up Jimmy, the McLaren is a different beast in terms of both hardware and software Vs your basic model.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jim262:
Having been in IT for 30 years, I have never known adding ram to change the hardware configuration, otherwise the 6GB and the 8GB wouldn't be compatible. Also, OnePlus will always say what they want you to believe. The only to find out if it is compatible or not is to take a regular 6T, which is running software version 9.0.7, and flash the software version from the McLaren edition (9.0.9) and then attempt to charge with it, comparing it to the charge time of an actual McLaren with the new Warp charger and have a regular 6T with Dash charging. As far as I know, this hasn't been done. If you have done this simple test or can provide some unbiased technical info versus company propaganda, I would like to see it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] thedrizzle:
The idiocy in this post is simply astounding, and I feel dumber for having been subjected to it. You say you've "been in IT for 30 years?" Doing what? Is this your first cell phone? If the McLaren had wireless charging, a 4k screen, was 24k gold-plated and encrusted with the finest diamonds, and could also give you a handy-on-demand, would you just assume THAT was software-related, too? How hard is it to wrap your head around MULTIPLE sources stating, very simply and in plain English, that the HARDWARE. IS. DIFFERENT? Sorry, but GTFOH with this whole thread.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nbhadusia:
Drizzle, I feel your pain lol. I think Jimmy just wants the McLaren and feels a bit gutted he can't have it. He tells himself they're the same to make himself feel better. A bit like when you see rust bucket cars on the road trying to take on BMW M3s thinking 'they're the same' lol.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Lepa79:
"give you handy on demand" LMAO. Wonder what kind of price tag that neat smart phone going to have.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jim262:
Look all I wanted to know if anyone had tested this hypothesis or if there was independent data available. Why you guys are a bunch of small minded, fan boys that can't answer a relatively simple question with factual data, just throwing generalities and manufacturer propaganda as though it was a technical journal, is beyond me.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j0hnee:
Because your post has been answered multiple times and you can't seem to wrap your head around the fact that you are comparing oranges to grapefruits and think they're the same just cause they both make juice.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nbhadusia:
I think

Jimmy actually wants a non McLaren 6T owner to

A/ flash McLaren firmware on their non McLaren phone ..... And if by some miracle, the 6T doesn't get bricked, he then wants them to

B/ connect a 30W charger to it, incidentally on a phone that's designed to take 20W and see if it warp charges.

Good luck with that Jimmy. Why don't you give it a go and get back to us with some data.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bassic:
I get exactly what Jimmy is trying to ask, and I'm wondering the same thing. Even the statement from OnePlus is a bit skepticIt mentions some technical design specifics but we don't see any schematics. On the other hand I don't expect them or any other manufacturer to release that kind of detail.

Although possible, I find it very unlikely that a new hardware revision for special edition phone would be made so soon after the original release, especially when the benefit is just a slightly shorter charging time.

The more likely scenario is that the changes were in the charger itself, and maybe the McLaren edition phone has a different physical battery with the improvements to manage the extra charging current.

edit: I just re-read the statement from One plus and it's clear what they did.

So there you go, there's no doubt. The McLaren edition has a different battery assmebly for sure and maybe a different charging block. The rest of the phone including the circuit board is likely identical to every other 6T. This means that you won't be able to charge faster with just using the McLaren ROM.

The original poster's price comparison isn't valid because not everyone can get the T-Mobile promotion. The McLaren edition is a 10GB/256GB phone with a nice finish that I like, and something I would consider for an extra $70 over the top spec standard OP6T, but I'm another d-bag who got the T-mobile promo. :D

My screen dims rather quickly with the dialer on and then turns off. My default screentime out is 2 mins, but this doesn't apply to the dialer. It gets really annoying if you have to get through a couple of prompts and the screen keeps dimming. Any suggestions on how to address this? Either have the same 2 minute delay apply to the dialer, or even not have it turn off at all.

Thanks!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
When I have Waze navigation on, my screen doesn't dim. When I make a phone call, I go back to Waze map screen. I can drag the phone call thingy wherever I want. If I need to mute, unmute I just click that to go back to call dialer interface for a few seconds. Then I go back to Waze screen to keep display on.

Yes, it's a wonky workaround, but it works. When I use this while driving, I make sure my phone is plugged in for charging -- because the display will stay on for the entire duration of the phone call.
