[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] cylent:
so the first video, battery life, the mix 3 died at 5 hours and 19 minutes. note 9 5 hours and 46 minutes. 27 minutes difference. not a big deal to be honest.

the note 9 and the mix 3 share the same processor, sd 845. yes, samsung has lots of bloatware crap and it may drain faster than the mix 3.

still though, i want to enable dark mode as i have gotten accustomed to it on the note 9 of using it.

furthermore, i have my note 9 set to the lowest resolution at hd+ (1480 x 720). not sure what the default is on the mix 3. (set to dark mode always on)

i plan on rooting and using titanium backup to freeze apps so i will tinker to my hearts desire to save battery!

Anyways, price wise,

i found the phone even cheaper at $445 (mix 3) as opposed to the shop at the mall of $459 which says he gives a year warranty. i dont give a damn about warranties cause i am always in the mood to switch phones. funny thing is its the same company with a branch shop at the mall. i guess they charge more cause of the mall.

i dont know. i may take the bullet and go for it.

the latest offer i got for my note 9 is $425 dollars. so i'd be adding only $20 dollars to purchase the mix 3.

would you do it?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Mackay53:
Don't pay to downgrade
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] cylent:
true true. but day after day my note 9 decreases in price so next week i may get a crappier offer.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Mackay53:
And it will still be better than the mix 3 which will also drop on price next week.

Only benefit over note 9 is the smaller bezels but they aren't that much smaller
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] cylent:
There's not much I like in the note 9 that the mix 3 doesn't already have expect for the battery.

I hate the s pen.

I hate the bezelz on the note 9 and they are not small.

I gave the guy who wants my note 9 a final price of 440$. If he accepts ill go for it.

If not, I'll stick to my note 9.

What I do like about the mix 3 is the slider. It's an absurd reason to do the trade. ? Plus as I said it shares all the same hardware expect for the battery.

Furthermore, I tend to like miui more Samsungs one ui crap interface.

On a side note I also considered the honor magic 2 but it lacks wireless charging so that's out of the question.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Mackay53:
Screen to body ratio for note 9 is approx 83.4% while mix 3 is 85%, not really much difference. Mix 3 still has bezels.

Will lose IP rating, better build quality, better components, UI that works etc
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] cylent:
I suppose the 83.4 and 85 on paper might not seem big but in the hand and visually it looks better (the mix 3)

IP rating of water resistance you mean?

I don't go diving in swimming pools all day ?

Better components such as what? The build quality on both is on par. I literally compared them both at the store.... Not an issue.

UI that works? I stated I hated one ui which is samsungs ui and prefer miui.

Anywho. I think I am closing the question as I am not in the mood to do the switch and lose $25 for one. Then I have to install a beta version of miui just to get the dark mode feature.

And, my whole attraction to the sliding gimmick I gave to get over. I hardly take selfies so how is the slider benefiting me?

I just saw the phones next to each other and the mix 3 looked so much nicer. That's really it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Mackay53:
IP isn't just for water...

Build quality goes beyond looks. The wobble on the mix 3 is an example. Slider will get scratched

No point downgrading for a slider you'll hardly ever use

You don't need to install the beta as the theme store has identical themes to what the dark mode would do, pretty pointless feature to introduce in the system

Miui breaks notifications etc

Mix price is cheap for a reason
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] cylent:
What do you mean by the slider will get scratched? The phone comes with a back cover.... Isn't that enough to somewhat protect it?

I don't consider it a downgrade unless you're talking battery capacity. As far as cpu, gpu, ram, internal storage... These are the same. As well as the screen which is also amoled.

Dark mode has made a huge battery difference in my note 9.as you may know amoled screens don't need to spend power to make the pixel white or any other color. If its black then the pixel is turned off thus conserving power. I don't know about the themes cause some use dark grey or near black and not true black. The whole dark mode feature is a true turn off the pixel.

Also, what do you mean by miui breaks notifications? I had a pocophone before and didn't have this issue.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Mackay53:
You'll get grit and dirt between the screen and the back and over time when you slide you'll get scratches, potentially on the front cameras.

Screen might be amoled but it's not super amoled like the note 9 which is superior.

Have a look at the threads here where people moan about miui notifications.

If you're going to upgrade just to shave 1 or 2mm off the bezel then in my opinion it's a waste. I'll be going back to bezels with next phone later this month.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] crabamer:
If you like the phone, just buy it and enjoy it. It's a good phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] cylent:
so i found the answer.

https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_mix_3_5g-9602.php

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G

guess i'll have to wait.

decided not to sell the note 9. its a power house. literally!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] invisiblewave:
Buying the Mix 3 5G might be the worst of the three options. Which 5G carrier are you planning to use it on??
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] cylent:
Why? It has a 3800 mah battery + better features. A better cpu and gpu.

See comparison

https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9378&idPhone2=9602

I am in the middle east and its either 4g or 3.9g. That's not important for me. It's the bigger battery and other improvements
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] invisiblewave:
There aren't any improvements. The bigger battery is required to support the beta hardware, with a separate modem and antennas. You also indicated that price was very important to you. You also mentioned you're not a gamer, so I'm curious what you're going to do with all that extra CPU & GPU horsepower. I've yet to find anything, including games, that the 4G version can't handle perfectly already.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] cylent:
Hmm. I suppose you're right. So is my note 9 with 4000mah battery overkill?

You're making a good argument here. But then comes an important question: what's better at better battery management.... Miui or Samsungs one ui?

In regards to the price sure it's important. Xiaomi can get away with cheaper price and they don't include a few necessities like headphones or a otg adaptor which comes in the box with the note 9. These two accessories are important.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] invisiblewave:
Does the Note 9 come with a 20W wireless charger? And are you telling me you don't already have headphones that will work with the Mix? I think the OTG adapter I bought some time ago was about $5. Also, define "better" when it comes to battery management. MIUI is about the best I've seen for battery management in terms of battery life, but not the best for killing background processes (which is how battery life is extended). The PE rom does a better job of battery management for me, battery life is about the same, but it's not as zealous when it comes to killing background processes. Unless I'm running secure DNS, the battery on my phone doesn't get below 50% by the end of the day.

So manual build.prop edit is working? I did it when I enabled on Oreo. I presume I'll lost the root after update, right? Is it secure to keep my Magisk modules or should I uninstall?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Simomaster1:
I didn't uninstall anything, just flashed the rom with magisk and dm-verity disabler and everything is perfect
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] GuilhermeXDA:
So I updated my device through OTA and had boot loop, after to force the restart I needed to reset to factory settings because it said my data was inaccessible. I don't know what I did wrong.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Simomaster1:
You forgot to reflash dm-verity disabler through TWRP
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] GuilhermeXDA:
The phone simply installed the update and rebooted automatically, probably the TRWP was gone after this. Installing the TWRP again would require me to wipe data anyway.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] satnam4278:
Hotspot internet stop working after screen lock. Not able to use mobile data on laptop. Please help.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] İrfan:
Guys, if you did a OTA update, after update recovery restarts RN6 itself and all data will encrypt even if you use dm-verity before.

So, don't format your data, use this TWRP, it decrypts last stock rom's data. I tried this and it works very well.

Thx a lot, i've made patch for oreo, but i didn't find any time to work on the pie version .

[Zenfone 2 Laser Themes and Apps] Rayonecma:
You are awesome! Thank you for this work ^-^
[Zenfone 2 Laser Themes and Apps] knowledge@heart:
You are doing Gods work bro!

Hats off to you.

One question.

What about enforced SELinux? LOS will eventually get SELinux to enforcing. What after that? This won't work?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Themes and Apps] zekken1977:
Enforcing SELinux is enabled in stock rom from Oreo (maybe... ) but most custom roms are disabled (permissive) like attached.

Exactly after enabled SELinux, this patch will not work because of enforcing SELinux.

If so, my ideas which we can choose are :

1. Add sepolicy file into patch to access driver

-> It seems to be good but we need to be aware differences of sepolicy between custom roms

2. Change patch design for hold all amp device (tfa9887) controls in userspace (this means kernel patch will be disappeared)

-> It also seems to be good but we need a new designed libs, and making completely independent module from SELinux is difficult, I think.

To be honest, I have no ieda for the best solution :(
[Zenfone 2 Laser Themes and Apps] knowledge@heart:
We did not have Stock Oreo i guess (Only Custom).

I personally was checking things and found the kernel zip different. That was great thinking on your part though. I tried building this a long ago, but failed (I never thought about patching the kernel).

Hey [MENTION=7838171]Superbezo[/MENTION], can you give some insights in this? What could be possible when we have SELinux as Enforcing on pie?

The LOS 16 has SELinux in bugs, The dev will eventually fix it and turn it to Enforcing.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Themes and Apps] zekken1977:
And another idea is that custom rom maintainers implement tfa9887 driver and sepolicy.

The driver is disappeared without device tree because driver probing doesn't work, this means the driver will not affect to other models except ZE60xKL (strictly other models which are made dtb from not ZE60xKL's device tree).

Otherside we'll distribute patches including audio/amp HALs and audio routing cofigs.

I think this is the most reasonable idea like similar style until Oreo...
[Zenfone 2 Laser Themes and Apps] knowledge@heart:
I guess, the Devs will implement this driver in to their ROM. But it is more prudent to have a Patch (Like we had upto Oreo). Reason being, there are tens of ROMS. Convincing each dev will be counter productive. The patch can be applied more efficiently.

We'll have to wait and see when the SEPolicy enforcement occurs.

About update patch

Hi patch users,

These patches are based on Firekernel r2.9, then already r2.10 is updated.

So if you'll need to update based on r2.10, pleaase let me know :)

Because I will try this rom (https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/development/rom-prometheusoneui-z00t-t3929198) to my Zenfone Selfie Z00UD (Z00T), but the sound patch only for Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL (Z00T). Thanks in advance!

[Zenfone 2 Laser Themes and Apps] zekken1977:
Hi, my patch made for drive spk amp device tfa9887 which mounts on only ZE600 or ZE601KL.

So I guess this patch isn't valuable for other zenfones.

I checked Z00UD schematic and I couldn't find tfa amp.

If you are facing sound issue, my patch can't improve your problem.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Themes and Apps] Superbezo:
Hello, i'll glad to know if someone else encountered the same issue:

I have tested this patch with los ans crdroid with thé same results.

I flashed successfully the ROM & patch and all was working fine (sound ,data ans GSM connexion) for few hours. Then the phone freezes and after reboot,no GSM network détectéd at all... The only way to recover was to do a factory reset with twrp or revert back to oreo backup... Any idea?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Themes and Apps] celtic1453:
Has done the same to me once.

Another issue was that sound worked fine for a while but then the sound was dropping during a phone call

I have used my backup to revert to Oreo my self

Hi,

If possible could someone give me some files as below ?

1. tombstones files(/data/tombstones/tombstone_xx : xx is number from 00-49)

2. ramoops after freeze occurred (/sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops)

if my assumption is correct crash information is recorded in these files.

#1 is accessible by root maybe but #2 is accessible on unroot user (it is easy by using adb pull if you have).

Hi all,

Please see change log in my 1st post for details :)

Thanks
[Zenfone 2 Laser Themes and Apps] Osama95:
Thanks a lot man :good: :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Themes and Apps] zekken1977:
Hi there,

Just FYI...

I faced same issue and my assumptions are:

- audioserver and audio-hal crashed randomly when waking up from suspend (e.g. screen off to on)

- I debugged but I still can't find root cause. (it seems memory corruption but kernel w/ trap didn't work, I don't know why...now under investigation)

- To avoid this issue as temporary workaround, you will have to enable wakelock (don't need keeping screen on, it's ok to only enabling cpu wakelock). But power consumption will be bad because system can't enter suspend.

Please let me know if you have any question.

I'll let you know when any update.
