[Device Reviews and Information] xygn:
so i just ordered an alldocube tablet, similar x27 chipset and i've been doing some research before it arrive:

apart from the random touchscreen issue, i think the main problem is with the helios x20 series chipset, is it struggles with responsiveness and "short burst" tasks. i am new user can't post links so just google and run "kraken javascript benchmark" in browser.

the a72 cores in helios x20 should mean you score ~4000 here, but typically i see 9000-10000 in reviews for devices using this chipset. so the problem reported is it is not even utilizing these fast cores in these short bursty tasks. of course this is good for battery saving, but bad for performance/responsiveness.

for longer running benchmarks like geekbench, antutu the cores become active and are OK

so there have been some solutions, for example the meizu 6 got updated firmware that boosts the cores more aggressively, and anandtech review said benchmark results improved 2-2.5x, but they don't say how they do this

some portion of the redmi note 4 phones also use the x20 chipset, it is more laggy than the snapdragon counterpart, and there have been a few tweaks in their forums, this one looks promising to me, google "Redmi note 4 (mtk) better gaming Learn how to get the most out of it (root)"

it seems you first disable the mtk perfservice, so the system uses the default cpu governor. then you make some tweaks

of course you need root and you do this at your own risk etc so make sure you read the miui thread and understand before using the code, also it is a good idea to note down the system default values before you change them, for when you want to revert back.

from the thread here is some recommended code for light gaming and general use to improve response, comments are my interpretation of what it does:

#background "real time" priority task 0.01ms time allocation
echo 10000 > /dev/cpuctl/bg_non_interactive/cpu.rt_runtime_us

#time between when scheduler reschedules 0.95ms for "real time" priority task
echo 950000 > /dev/cpuctl/cpu.rt_runtime_us

#default time allocated by scheduler for "real time" priority task 1ms
echo 1000000 > /dev/cpuctl/cpu.rt_period_us

#this is feature to take in to account number of cores for allotting time, turn it off to increase response time
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_tunable_scaling

#dynamic voltage frequency scheduler for gpu on
echo 1 > /proc/mali/dvfs_enable

#ignore thermal for gpu on, since the cpu a72 cores
echo 1 > /proc/gpufreq/gpufreq_limited_thermal_ignore heat up and cause throttling

# apparently this unlocks the a72 cores
echo 0 > /proc/ppm/policy/hica_is_limit_big_freq

i think this or some other code on that thread can help the system utilize the strong a72 cores, increasing performance but at expense of battery, if you can tweak it such that Kraken benchmark gets close to 4000 score with acceptable battery, i think it is big success.

I may be testing those parameters to see if there is any improvement.
[Device Reviews and Information] MiSSigNNo:
I've tested your mods and there is no improvement in touchpad responsiveness

I've screwed up the recovery trying to create a compatible TWRP. Can anyone send me a working hipad recovery img please?
[Device Reviews and Information] xygn:
the benchmark is measured in time so the higher the longer it took to execute, on the x20 i've seen as low as 3000. for example google "redmi note 4 x20 anandtech", which kind of makes sense since the a72 cores are about twice as fast, and people have found they don't get utilized at all in some workloads, and this should be able to be tweaked.

hmm that's disappointing, i'll see how my alldocube responds when i get it, still waiting...

chuwi has stock firmware is that what you need? i just google "chuwi hipad stock firmware" and second result
[Device Reviews and Information] MiSSigNNo:
No, I need the stock recovery. Fun fact, MIUI by default restores automatically the recovery if you don't have magisk installed. So you don't have to ever worry to end (like me) with a corrupted recovery. Things went wrong when I was trying to flash a new TWRP and I could not save successfully the original recovery unfortunatelly (my bad)
[Device Reviews and Information] MiSSigNNo:
To get the stock recovery is simple. For those that have already rooted with my method:

1. Install the app Diskinfo

2. Enable all partitions in the settings

3. Theorically there should appear a partition like /dev/block/mmcblk0pXX (XX is two numbers)

4. Download Terminal emualtor

5. Run the command "su"

6. Run the command "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pXX of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img" (remember to replace the XX with the number of the partition of the recovery)

Also can be found in the log with Terminal emulator:

1. Command: "cat /cache/recovery/last_log | grep recovery"

And will get a line like:

19 /recovery emmc /dev/block/...

And then with the path (/dev/block/... ) just need to edit the dd if=/path/... of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img
[Device Reviews and Information] lewmur:
Why root?

Just received my Hipad and I'm wondering if it is really worth rooting. Normally, that's the first thing I do with a new tablet. But without any custom ROMs available, is it really worth the irritation of the delay in booting?
[Device Reviews and Information] MiSSigNNo:
Personally I like rooting to have access to Magisk modules. There are some Magisk modules are that are awesome.

By the way, could you checkout my last post, and try to extract your recovery with the method I showed? I was trying to create a TRWP but I "corrupted" my original recovery.

With a new sane recovery I may try to create a functional TWRP and maybe some custom ROM may follow
[Android Apps and Games] PriceFinderDev:
Hey @ all :)

I've wanted to share my new android ebay price finder app with you.

You can select between the following countries:

Germany, United States, Canada, UK, Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Ireland, Malaysia, Philippines, Poland, Singapore

It's called "Auction Price Finder".

[IMG="auction price finder title"]https://price-finder.app/imgs/icon1024.jpg[/IMG]

I've made 3 different version of the app (optimized for different android devices).

Version for Android Phones:

Play Store App id: com.af.sa.standalonepf

Version for full Android Smartwatches with round displays:

Play Store App id: com.af.sa.standalonepfsm

Version for Wear OS:

Play Store App id: com.af.sa.standalonepfwo

Please let me know what you think - any kind of feedback is welcome :)
[Android Apps and Games] HasH_BrowN:

You realise that any X device will never be a phone, don't you? There's missing hardware, crucially, no modem - so communicating with POTS. No software mods will ever fix that problem. The best use for any X demo unit that I can figure out is as the display in a Gear VR headset.

that X indicates that it the Demo version of that phone. it only availible in the Samsung showroom ( so you can test drive it ) if you want to flash it. you need to somehow change the PIT firmware in to the one that has correct model for it..

( wrong PIT file also makes the phone unable to boot up too ) at least it's my experience...

I am thinking about buying a Tytn II (Kaiser). I run Windows XP Pro but I do not run MS Office or Outlook (which are not even installed on my PC) or Internet Explorer (which is). Instead I use OpenOffice (open source freeware), Thunderbird (ditto) and Firefox (ditto). I refuse to pay for MS Office or Outlook. How may I sync my Kaiser to my PC - address book, documents, bookmarks etc. ?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
As mentioned already Microsoft's synching solutions Activesync or WMDC are for Microsoft apps only (although it baffles me that it won't even synch to native Windows apps such as address book or Outlook Express). There is some releief in that not having a recent version of Outlook installed doesn't grey out Favourites, Files or Media so you should still be able to sync these fine. There are third party products around that offer a greater amount of synching compatibility. Perhaps others who are using the apps you mentioned have experience or can name names. Additionally, perhaps those application suppliers can advise on solutions, if they're aware of any....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] basinger:
I was in a similar situation but I use Thunderbird only for storing my emails.

I saw in another post a link to:

www.goosync.com

I found the Google-calendar quite useful (can be opened in Thunderbird). With Goosync you can free-of-charge sync your Google-calendar (with restrictions). For some money you can also sync tasks and the address-book.

Have a look. Maybe it's something for you. Maybe not.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] NiTrOwow:
Hi Xda,

Got this new ASUS Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL phone and wondering if I am able to change the wifi driver or system configuration because its locked down to only 802.11g often my phone gets only 54mpbs !! While my other phone 150mbps on my 2.4g router. Also the phone does not support 5ghz or dual band so it only can go up to 72mbps in the best case which it is not even capable of 5 out of the 10 times I use it.

This really sucks because I see a notable connectivity slow down compared to my older phones !! When downloading or watching a YouTube video.. Ridiculous that Asus did cut corners on the wifi connectivity back to a standard that was introduced between 2003 and 2009 !!!

The Snapdragon specifications website shows it should support 802.11ac 5g.

In my old Lenovo phone sits the same SoC, and it does have proper wifi connectivity.

Did ASUS cheat, is it really a snapdragon or a Mediatek processor? Mac address vendor of the wifi hardware shows Asus rebranding.

Can I even root this puppy?

Snapdragon specs say:

Wi-Fi Standards: 802.11ac Wave 2, 802.11a/b/g, 802.11n

Wi-Fi Spectral Bands: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz

Peak speed: 433 Mbps

Channel Utilization: 20/40/80 MHz

MIMO Configuration: 1x1 (1-stream)

Peak QAM: 256 QAM

Wi-Fi Features: MU-MIMO, Integrated baseband

Even my 90 euro budget phone from back in 2014 went to up 150mbps..

I also have a bad feeling that there are a lot of cut corners on the wifi hotspot as well that I will have to use weekly for work.

If there's no proper way of fixing this. No more Asus phones for me. I already have a bad feeling that I need to VOID my warranty for it to be able to change anything like usually..

Other issues about the phone:

Bottom screen has two light halo effects in the screen (QC error !!!!)

And like always some problems (bugs) and removed features (latest firmware as of today)

1(bug). Set screen brightness to low, open camera app, close camera app, now the screen brightness will not always go completely down to what it was..

2. Show navigation bar feature missing. Change volume sound cannot be disabled.. Volume increasement half the steps of my Lenovo and previous phones. Blue screeen filter can't be modified, the default setting is useless because you can hardly see the difference.

Pros:

Regular software updates

Good camera

Amoled screen (but if you are unlucky you get a screen with halo in the bottom)

5000mah battery !

Other than that it seems to be a good phone for this amount of money.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] liveroy:
You seems to be very confused. I've absolutely no problems with the wifi. It easily reaches 8-9MB/s on my 2.4GHz network and since I don't really care for the inferior 5GHz one that I do have but never use due to much weaker signal.

It's not the best phone in the world, but for the 140 bucks I paid for it, certainly it's a nice one.

I think you've set your expectations too high really.I see you've got a P2, I've had it for a while too and to be honest The Z3Z is better in so many ways, especially Camera, Speaker, Build, Price etc.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] Mrkblo:
I'm afraid that you'll have to deal with the slow speed on wi-fi. I have a 100 mbps connection at home, and all phones i've tested get 95-105 speeds on speed tests, but the Zoom S is stuck at 54mbps. Unless you're willing to develop for this phone and see if there's something barring it from going faster software-wise, it is what it is.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] NiTrOwow:
You're right. It indeed is a good phone and the camera is better(speaker wise, I would prefer the Lenovo P2 but that's a personal opinion I guess), but I was disappointed about the WiFi, but yeah I'll just live with it. Seems they just didn't care about 5g for some reason. In my region 5G works a lot better then 2.4 even on longer range because of a lot of interference on the 2.4 spectrum. But yeah whatever, it works. The speed is indeed not terrible. Have done some more testing also with a WiFi hotspot I made and used in the hotel last time (worked flawlessly). I was in Germany and had a solid 4G connection, I guess the testing was in some way affected because of a poor cell reception or something (testing was done at home), or the DSL line at home had a slowdown at that time also not uncommon to happen..

I just deal with it, it is no big deal. Have been using the phone now for quite some time and it is fine. The only thing that sucks is that often in places where I go 2.4g spectrum is filled up with bull**** and it slows down or loses connection strength, this is why I would prefer 5g also, but alright. It is not going to happen..
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] ple91:
Hey, I also had problems with slow WiFi. Almost to the unusable levels.

I've found out that switching Bluetooth OFF. Fixes the problem. Internet works back at full speed provided by ISP, and WiFi at routers' max.

I'm not sure if it's another firmware bug, or issue with MiBand/Bluetooth speakers.

I hope this trick will work for you ;)
