[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MI1990:
Guys im considering to buy global version of the phone , can i ask you:

1) the phone has widevine L1 or L3 ? (can use drm info app on playstore to check it)

2) on gsmarena it's written that has type c 2.0, but it's stated everywhere that can output the video trough type c hdmi cable , what do you know about that ? you tried ?

3) you tried to install the gcam of Mi9? Phone has camera2api already enabled like mi9 ?

thanks a lot
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonamoose:
Not a lot of throttling. Also didn't feel hot in my hand
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonamoose:
1) see attached

2)? I don't know

3) yes camera2api enabled
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MI1990:
thanks a lot,

let me know if you/someone else will try the gcam on it as well, sensor should be the same of mi9 so maybe the same version that works there works also for the black shark 2.

regarding hdmi output is killer feature to me , i wrote to blackshark support , if they answer i will let you know

in the meantime i saw this on the europe shop: https://eu.blackshark.com/products/black-shark-type-c-to-hdmi-cable

I'm using the Asus ROG phone and the speakers on the black shark 2 are quite a bit more quiet, feel a bit muffled and have less clarity, volume and bass than the ROG phone. It's certainly a downgrade.

Also the black shark 2 has an equalizer but it's only available in shark mode --> only in games where I'm certain nobody needs an equalizer (at least I don't) Furthermore the speaker grill holes on the black shark immediately got clogged with dust which isn't a problem with the ROG phone.

I personally found many reasons why I'll stick to my ROG phone and am returning it.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harfainx:
According to the USB info, it's actually USB 3.1 (used my computer to check it). It seems to operate at USB 2.0 speeds when transferring files, but yes, it does output video and audio in real-time over HDMI. I have tried it myself, to include playing games with it, and there is nearly no delay. I found playing fast-paced games to be perfectly fine over HDMI to the TV.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Thanks a lot for the reply, my thoughts exactly. The problem currently there isn't a good alternative to the ROG phone that doesn't have a notch, even top bottom bezels, real dual speakers not an earpiece and 1 speaker. In a nutshell a ROG phone but with better specs and camera. There are few on the list but with many shortcomings, 1 example would be the Pixel 3 but it only has 4GB of ram which is a No No...

I guess I will have to wait until a better alternative is available.

Thanks again, and good luck to all of you with your new phones. :good:
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MI1990:
wow thanks a lot for the clarification, considering the great emulation power of snap 855 , this phone is a portable "retro" console with hdmi cable (even ps2 works), my idea is to use portable projector with it to use in holidays/hotels etc.

thanks again.

now if gcam provide acceptable/good photos in low lights , is a perfect phone.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] snkchaos:
It could be the cable. You check the pin out? It should have 5 metal pins behind the 4 contacts on the USB A end. (Sorry I can't figure out that name).

If it's only the 4 contacts then it's just a USB 2.0 with a Type C connector. It's very annoying you can't just simply bring any cable to another device that already supports USB 3.0 or higher. They should have made it a standard. So many cables on Amazon I accidently buy a USB 2.0 Type C cable. Some would use Type C 2.0 but that doesn't mean 2nd Gen Type C. USB 2.0 and Type C 2.0 isn't the same thing.

It's good to hear that the type C to HDMI work because it's a pain to setup wireless connector to a recorder like Elgato for very high quality recording.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harfainx:
Yes, I know the difference between cables. I've been using a known good 3 cable. I have plenty of other USB 3/3.1 devices.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darzl:
I received mine today after ordering Saturday,also got the free game pads but didn't get them on this shipment, should have them next week
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kramnod:
I hope when they release this phone in India, developers would start to pour in.

We have a great device equipped with excellent hardware but with little developer support.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZFranz:
Security level

Wait the security level is 3? Why didn't they set it to 1? This should be just software related, it doesn't require any hardware upgrade, this way we can't fully enjoy apps like Netflix.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonamoose:
Despite mine having the unable to update

Everything else is pretty great. Getting phenomenal battery life .

[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] txordi:
It looks that this device will unfortunately get little to no dev support... It's a pity because I will seriously consider buying it
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thevirgonian:
Hey guys, I am on T-Mobile and am considering buying this...but then I saw this...

https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/blackshark-2

Definitely doesn't look good to work in the US very good on ANY network, let alone T-Mobile. However, it is BY FAR the best/cheapest phone I have seen with those INSANE specs.

Has anyone tried it on T-Mobile yet?

...and does it have an IR blaster?
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harfainx:
I used it on T-Mo, and yes... it's bad. It's not designed to be used in the US, which is why it has such poor band coverage for US carriers. It would say I had 4G/LTE, but really it would be like maybe 2-4Mbps down speeds. This was in the DC area.

No IR blaster on it.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thevirgonian:
Ugggghhhh... That sucks.

I have a OnePlus 5 right now and I am itching to upgrade, but I would love to have an IR blaster for my TVs.

I think if the OnePlus 7 has UFS 3.0 I will get that, but if not I will go with the Xiaomi Mi 9 256 Transparent, which does have an IR blaster.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] teknomedic:
Where can you purchase the global version? Tried searching, but no joy. :(
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harfainx:
You can buy direct on their site. Pretty sure they have the global version on Aliexpress, Banggood, and a bunch of other third party sites.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MI1990:
From Europe :

https://eu.blackshark.com/
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] teknomedic:
thanks much! Are you in the USA and did they ship directly to you?

Sadly it seems the there's no black version with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Buy silver or no... hmmm. :confused:

[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] h8Aramex:
Hey guys! I am from the EU and I want to order from here: https://eu.blackshark.com/products/blackshark2

Few questions:

- Will we have roms, root, that kind of stuff? I saw there are Mi Mix 2S roms, there is Mi 9 kernel sources, but ... nothing found about this phone...

- What ROM do I get with EU? I heard it's AOSP... can I use Google Play on it?

- Do we get updates like Poco? Like I know Poco runs Poco's own system, and MIUI is another OS. What about the Black Shark? Read some "issues" on the url above... there is a forum and users complained about mic sensitivity, etc. I did see Poco had a lot of problems too when it came out, but those got fixed...

Thank you!

The Rog Phone easily costs double if not a tiny bit more. There is just no comparison here really.

If you were to compare the Razer Phone 2 with this, sure, that's a bit fairer. But the ROG Phone is way outta this league.

Ps.: That said, Razer Phone 2 loses out on warranty. Only one year, and "Razer build quality", which is NOT good let's just say that.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] wookoko:
Still waiting for as well.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jinkkys:
Just arrived home 12 / 256gb version, purchased on the official website and delivered in less than 48 hours in Italy :)
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] xshunin:
So I got one as well now. The lights on the sides do now glow when I get notifications. Anyone else having this issue? (Global version)
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] h8Aramex:
lol I placed my order because 2-3 news sites said the Black Shark has NFC. So I pulled the trigger.

Well, only today I went over another 5-6 sites as I was really hyped for my new phone.. .only to find there is no NFC.

Thankfully the phone was not at me yet, so they won't be able to like reject a refund or anything.

Why the hell did Xiaomi skip NFC.... it's just insane... :(
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] xshunin:
Because the phone has a metal in its case. Same reason why it has no wireless charging
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] h8Aramex:
Weak excuse IMO. iPhones, Huawei phones were all metal and just had thin plastic antenna lines. And it just works.

Also the NFC module is so tiny, OnePlus 6T has it between the dual camera, just a tiny chip.

So, it's just a weak excuse. For some reason, a LOT of Xiaomi phones are missing this feature, like the Poco F1. No idea why.

Not trying to go off at you, I am just so puzzled in general. Such a great phone, ruined so much. That said, Poco F1 is the same. :(
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cammarratta:
Does the mi9 night shot mode work on this phone? Using the pixel camera port
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] xshunin:
Well it's physically not possible for wireless charging to work with a metal case. Same with NFC. Although I prefer the sturdy metal casing over wireless charging but that is just my opinion.
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] h8Aramex:
IMO without a case, both metal and glass are fragile. I had Huawei (P10 Plus, metal case) and iPhones (metal case).. but honestly, if you drop it, boom goes the phone. The whole corner will just get damaged, the screen might pop out, etc.

It's great, very useful ?
[Android Apps and Games] StrangerWeather:
Thanks, glad you like it! :D
[Android Apps and Games] StrangerWeather:
Glad to see there are quite a few installs!

Guys, don't forget to report bugs and make feature requests! :D
[Android Apps and Games] lampon:
Looks great! I like the clean design and colors. Might I make 2 suggestions / requests:

1. Is it possible to make the UX a bit more... predictable? For example, when you click a button, it activates an option, but when you click it again, it doesn't seem to do the opposite, which leads to confusion as to how to get back to the original state.

2. Integration with Automagic / Tasker / etc?

Thanks for your efforts!!
[Android Apps and Games] BeeWall:
Thanks for the app, it seems useful. And looks pretty nice too, especially the animation when you click or hold something.

A couple features that would make it more useful: a quick settings tile to bring up a popup menu, and an alarms only mode.

Also, something that's probably a bug: when you enable Full DnD, then turn it off, then enable Priority Only, all the media, alarms, etc settings will still be off thanks to Full DnD.

Lastly, I see the description says open source, but don't see a link. Would you mind linking to the source code?
[Android Apps and Games] StrangerWeather:
Hello! Thanks for the good words! Could you give me an example of when you click a button and it does not have the expected behaviour? Cheers!

Integration with Automagic and Tasker: I'd have to work out how to do that, but I'll add it to the to do list! :)

Thanks also for the good words. I'll add the feature ideas, they are good ideas and I should be able to implement them fairly soon. Lastly, Enabling Priority Only is supposed to switch off media, alarms etc initially. Same as Full Dnd. The only difference is that you are then able to toggle them on if needed. Hope this clarifies things!
[Android Apps and Games] StrangerWeather:
[MENTION=7559542]BeeWall[/MENTION] - I've added a link to github in the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] StrangerWeather:
Anyone using the app with a Samsung device? Someone on Reddit says that the "Advanced Settings" button crashes the app on a Note 9. Can you guys reproduce this?

It might be that the path to System Settings is different on Samsung devices, in which case I need to modify my code. Please let me know! Cheers!

[Android Apps and Games] thatrunks:
Great app I like it! Is it possible to include a schedule?
[Android Apps and Games] StrangerWeather:
Thanks! :)

When you say a schedule, can you explain what you want this schedule to do exactly? Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] thatrunks:
Well is it possible to make schedules for instance turn priority on at 12 o clock and turn it automatically off at 5 pm. And is it possible to make a total silence profile but with the possibility to still receive notifications (without any sound)

If I need to test anything please let me know.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] android404:
Make it possible to make priority settings (media, messages, touch sounds off) stick when you disable priority. Right now I have to turn those off again, each time I turn priority mode off and on again.

[MENTION=4747742]StrangerWeather[/MENTION]

nice job! it looks good. smooth design and nice and simple also. much preferable to the system settings. i especially like that i can set DND easily for just contacts, that stops me from having to field scam phone calls all day. one question, does that block SMS messages from non-contacts also? or is SMS separate?
[Android Apps and Games] StrangerWeather:
Hi, and thanks, I'm glad you like the app! :)

To answer your question, SMS messages are separate from Priority Settings. Priority Settings are limited to calls...
[Android Apps and Games] Nomanrzb:

I am now working on schedules/profiles
[Android Apps and Games] Samiii2:
Example Telegram to override DND you must go inside each contact/chat and from there toggle override DND. If you like me have 200 chats it can be very troublesome.

Can you somehow whitelist the whole application to bypass DND? So all notifications coming from this application will override DND.
[Android Apps and Games] StrangerWeather:
Hi, I can try and implement a per app EasyDND setting, that's a good idea!

It won't be straightaway though, as these things take a lot of time... :)
[Android Apps and Games] H2017H:
Thanks for this (I hope) but I can not get it onto my phone!!

I found it on APKpure but that just hangs trying to install.

I can follow the link above abd see it (on my desktop computer) in the Google Store (GPS)

BUT when I search the GPS google seems to refuse to find it for me.

PLEASE put a QRcode directing to the GPS location so that I can easily get it onto my phone.

{Yes, I do know that there are ways around this problem and I'm about to do that but a simple QRcode would make it all SO easy.}

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] H2017H:
Sort-of solved my problem but the GPS now tells me "Your device isn't compatible with this version".

FWIW I am using Android 7.7.1 on a M653 ChinaMobile A3s (asus board) phone.

What flavour of Android do I need to be able to KILL DND?
