i'll try now

Edit: But doesn't miflash tool only work for unlocked bootloader? When i try to flash MIUI 10 8.11.15 Global Android Pie 9.0 Fastboot , it says erase boot error.

Edit 2: Just unlocked my bootloader through miunlock. Currently flashing miui through miflash.

Thanks for saving my dumb ass. Looks like i fixed it.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] strykrmas:
I installed orange fox obviously after unlocking my bootloader, plus I rooted with magisk 18.1 however I've noticed that I may have lost my fast charge capabilities. Is this possible?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mid:
Hi folks,

I thought I'd get some opinions from folks here regarding the screen whine issue that some LCD screens get.

I recently bought a replacement Tytn off ebay after breaking my screen on mine. When it arrived it looked fine. I put it on charge and started cleaning it. That night I find out it's got a high pitched whine making it almost unusable.

I've sent it back to the seller and asked for a refund but he says he's contacted HTC to find out if it's a recognised fault or not. If it's not something that HTC acknowledge then he's going to make me make arrangements to pick it up from him.

Does anyone know if this is a recognised fault with the phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tianz:
AFAIK, I have got some experience with some other handheld, it appear the pitch noise come from LCD inverter. seen some picth noise in early production of O2 Atom, old handera handheld. even nokia e61 generates pitch noise if you listen it closely. what I can not confirm is where the LCD inverter located, in mainboard or in LCD modul it self. So I can ot tell you which one is broken.

Well, it's just my opinion.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mid:
Thanks for the input tianz.

I've found loads of info on Google about it. It appears to be quite common with some of the older mobile phones.

Is it reasonable to expect me to have to accept a phone which has an audible whining noise to it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tianz:
Well... actually it's up to you, If you find the whining noise is too loud for your ear maybe you should return it while you can. As my experience when I had Handera with whining noise, I had return it. but when the replacement came back, the whining noise get worse and the company said that there's no problem at all with my Handera.

Later on I found out what cause the whining noise, and actually very simple to fix it, just find the inverter ?? (sorry I don't know what they call it in english, It's ferit core and copper wire wrapped around it) and put some wax from the candle or you can use glue.

And again, I don't know where exactly the inverter located in Hermes device, or maybe they use different model of inverter in Hermes.

So, It's up to you. I hope my answer will satisfied you. Thank you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mid:
Unfortunately I bought the phone off ebay and the guy isn't keen to refund me - although he currently has both phone and my money.

He says it's not that loud/irritating so I'm not sure what to do.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Optimal:
I've just dealt with it. The whine is only there when the LCD screen is on. My 8525 phone is exactly 1 year old. It can be irritating though, so I use the earbuds whenever I can.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mid:
Unfortunately for me the guy that's selling me the phone doesn't appear to agree that it's annoying:

=========================================================

"I have tried the phone and whilst it is just possible to hear a noise if I put my ear to the screen (why ayone would need to do that I have no idea) there is no audible noise when the phone is held to the ear as used in a normal phone call"

=========================================================

I can hear it loud and clear even at arms length - the phone doesn't even need to be near my head!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tianz:
Refund it if you can, too loud if its for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mid:
That's the problem, he doesn't want to refund. He wants me to keep the phone so he doesn't have to deal with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tianz:
if you do have the phone in your hand, please confirm the pitch noise come from the front speaker or LCD it self. I'll try to help you finding the inverter located. I'll look around if I had a chance to open my 8525 again. Thank you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pdmech73:
i am on my second tytn. I bought both used and in PRISTINE condition on Craigslist. The first one I bought had it, and so I asked for my refund from the seller. The second one (that I have now) just started the whining noise yesterday. I've had it since January 2008. It SUCKS!!!

-Paul

PS: the noise is heard when I put my ear to the front speaker up close. It's weird. I heard it as soon as I move my ear to it. However, after about 5 seconds I don't hear it anymore. Then as soon as I move my ear away, I hear it again... It's like my ears become desensitized to it? lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Heykrop:
[/QUOTE]

It is quite possible. It's like being in a room with an analog clock. You may have sat in that room 100 times, with the same noise around you, but for some reason this time you can hear the tick tick tick of the hand movement. Then just as quickly as you noticed it you can suddenly not hear it no matter how hard you try.

It can be a state of mind that results in your heightened sense of hearing or it can be as simple as your tympanic membrane being a little tighter.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] norwstman30:
Like the above poster said, I hear mine sometimes too, and other times I dont hear it at all.

To the OP, if the seller has your phone and your money, then either keep asking for your money back and if that doesnt work, email ebay or give him bad marks stating what he has done. If that doesnt work, you can threaten to take him to small claims court ( Judge Judy :D). What is loud and irritating to you maybe not to him. Get you rmoney back. Hope this helps..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] johndawg:
I think the reason the sound goes in and out is due to the fact that the screen istelf goes to sleep after a few seconds, or what ever you have set in the system...

My screen starting making this noise a few weeks ago. I love the functionality of this phone, but I am pretty much done with it. I can't stand all the tweeks that come with it.

I jumping to the iPhone as soon as they make the slinbox player for it... and they roll out the 3g functionality.

Don't mean to rant, but I am just frustrated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wam7:
I think the phone was dropped of damaged and that is why it gives off a high pitch sound.. Mine dropped onto a hard concrete floor. It looks and works perfectly fine but immediately after it emits a high pitched sound when ever the screen is on.

This is not normal for the TyTn which means it was damaged in some way prior to you getting it. Demand a refund.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mid:
Hi guys - the person I bought the phone from is still waiting for HTC to get back to him so he still has both the money and the phone.

Even if HTC say it's not a recognised fault, it's still unusable to me because it's really loud to me.

I'm not sure there's much I can do as I'm not exactly in a strong position to make demands.

Personally I think it would be unreasonable for him not to refund me but then he might not be a reasonable person.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mid:
The sound is definitely from the LCD - the speaker is fine once the screen is switched off (i.e. you can turn the screen off while on the phone and it's still fine).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] drakkahn:
I've had 3 8525's, one of them had this problem from day one. There have been a few threads about it as well.

I have just learned to turn my screen off during a call. It's real easy and quick, besides, you aren't looking at the phone when you are talking on it, and if you are, you probably can't hear the whine.

However, if you don't want to deal with the whine, then don't. Hopefully you paid through paypal and can just file a claim if the guy doesn't want to be fair. It is a defect and they should back you up.

If not, look to ebay and see if there is anything further you can do with them.

Call HTC yourself. Don't wait for him.

good luck
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mulloz:
yes mine also does it i have just learnt to put up with it, but yes like drakkahn said you should ring HTC yourself and see what they have to say
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mid:
Very good point. I don't know why I haven't thought of that.

Just off to call them now.

Thanks.

Hello there!

I have a j530F (j5 2017) with EDO's Oreo installed. I would like to change or remove the carrier name on lockscreen. I tried various apps and xml tricks which i assume outdated therefore not working (Most of them are from 2011-2012). Does anybody know a way to do this, i am willing to dig deep into modifying xmls and stuff so don't worry if your method is a bit complex ;) Thank you all in advance :D
[Xperia Play General] RodrigoCard:
basically I am taking of the dust of my xperia play after a few years... and I want to use it as a backup phone for social media in general (facebook, whatsapp, instagram, youtube) and some emulation and some old apk games.

The main problem after these years are limited internal storage space and compatibility.

- Is there any better rom or app that make it more usable?

- maybe make it "think" the SD card is the internal storage? It would fix many problems

- a 4.x android version rom, maybe?

- I would love to be able to use the touchpad in a n64 emulator or maybe make the controller recognized as a modern regular android game controller for other games, but no problem if not possible.

So, I would like to ask for recommendations to workaround these issues and make it usable again.

Thank you very much!

EDIT: I have a R800i model
[Xperia Play General] inaroom:
i had been using the rom nexplay for a lot of time in my xplay, its 4.04 i think, no touchpads tho. you can use link2sd to use the sd as internal storage, but you need a fast card. as for social apps, if you have link2sd it could work, but nowday they are really heavy on the cpu and on the memory, so not sure how it would perform. the best rom is probably still stock debloated and with custom kernel
[Xperia Play General] romsonline:
Good Evening!

Maybe, you can try to use a CM12 version suplied by Smokerman

you.be/watch?v=oIS9K8ytpPY

If you tried this rom, please, share your experience.
[Xperia Play General] FlyingEmpy:
Hello,

I have been using an Xperia Play lately and it is very difficult to get something to work because of the poor memory size available for applications.

I tried CM13 (Android 6 Marshmallow) via the Legacy Xperia team and it worked somehow. But unfortunatly when Google Services are installed, the phone becomes somewhat unusable even through the OS is set to take the SD card as internal storage. Maybe my SD card is not quick enough... I tried John GBAC emulator with a GBA rom (Pokémon Emerauld) and performances were poor.

I sure will try again this rom without Google Services if I can find a better alternative (i.e good light store that contains social app and stuff).

Now I am running the CM11 rom (also Legacy Xperia one) and performance are a bit better once the Play Store and Google Services were up to date. Still, the internal memory remains an issue and App2SD (or similar) is pretty much mandatory in order to install more than 2 apps. I didn't try emulators yet, I hope it will be better than on CM13. You should note that on those roms, Bravia Engine and XLoud doesn't seem to be implemented.

I also tried an ICS rom (I think it was Ice Cream Speed) that was OK but after a bit it started rebooting after 2min using the phone. Finally, you have the Gin2Kitkat rom under 2.3.7 (limited for app installation) but it looked to be the snappier experience I could find.

I am looking forward to try this phone on other roms without any Google Services to see if I can run something like RetroArch to play games on the go. I really enjoy the controller for emulators.

[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Alexxxx1:
Emui 9 is faster than Emui 8 because cpu are boosted in kernel, different governors . So, you will get faster phone but battery life is not better. Also charging from 90 to 100% could take additional 1h. Total time is about 2h, so its worst than on Emui 8. Ram management is not so good, also auto cleaning cach is not effective and after a few days you will get 20-30% available ram memory. After reboot cach is cleared. All other things are OK. No bugs so far.
