i didn't even know the phone had a dark mode until this update where i saw that there are some new options in the advanced settings.

or has the dark mode been added with this update ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] lexuz:
Dark mode came with this update. Anyone battery drain with Android system like me?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] zbaracki:
tried rebooting? had similar problem (draining 10-15% per hour)when I first got the phone (2nd hand) and updated the rom, reboot solved it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] lexuz:
I can confirm that that did helped. Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] discomega:
I have issues with the volume. The animation dissapears and a reboot brings it back. Also, there is a new "beta" released of this version to some users. First they cancel beta then they release a stable beta? Weird.

"The Update will be through OTA only and will be with/without Changelog."

Soo....with changelog? :)

Automatic brightness seems to have a problem since this update. Coming off a night-time charge the screen will not adjust to daylight without intervention.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Grellenort:
First, its not new - beta stable versions were released much earlier.

Its simple.

Beta rom is developer rom (weely/daily/whatever).

Stable rom is older beta build without some newest changes.

Stable beta is "stable" rom provided first to some random people to get feedback. If there is no any serious bug then the same build is shared for everyone and becomes "stable".
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] discomega:
Yes. I know that. But they cancelled public weekly betas due to that a very few people actually reported bugs. So only public stable remains for our device. But then they go ahead an publish a public global stable "beta" to a few random users. This is what I think is odd.

Of course there is beta releases but they are not public anymore. Only closed betas. And closed devs.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Grellenort:
Feedback probably is a mess. Some people always have "battery drain" no matter what or other "not" working things (which are working for everyone except one person). They wont do wipe data to try to fix this by self and probably in received feedback there will be much more complaints than praise (even if update is really good).

Beta stable is good idea (there will be less bricked devices) but I dont like the fact that I cant install update manually if I wasnt chosen to test and rom wasnt published on official forum (at least without twrp...)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rockmadeofrock:
Anyone rooted on this update yet? If so, what version of TWRP did you reflash after the update and what version of Magisk are you using?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kachan64:
I use to have this before the update once. I cleared cache for Google Play Store services and one other thing and rebooted my phone and it went back to normal.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] lexuz:
I only had to do a reboot..now I get 4 SOT with the display set to 720p. Not bad for me but I came from a Poco and this is way less that what I'm used too. AMOLED isn't that great even with dark mode on.

Just wondering if anyone else has had a malware hit on a system app named "com.google.android.apps.restore"? Bitdefender lists the app as a " Trojan.downloader.gDJAV" and I see that SDMaid pro shows strange install date and info (see attached).

I'm on a rooted International 6t with stock OS. Thanks ahead of time.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] MarcoLK:
I usually dont trust any third party anti virus app on my phone. Android has built in anto virus and protection.

I think it is because it needs some permissions for restoring your data (migration tool). And anti viruses thinks that it could harm your system.

So calm down and ignore or send it to OnePlus Support.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] SuperUnkn0wn0ne:
Not too worried, just looked strange. Thanks and will do.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] F5:ed:
If you relay upon the in-built from Google ... then you are "naive". Have a look on this test https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/android-test-2019-250-apps/

Many of those apps are crap, but that includes Google Protect (just 68%).

On the other hand is Bitdefender (scored 100%) one of the best AV you can run on Android. I trust Bitdefender on my desktop, and i trust them also on my mobile.

If I was you, I would trust the alarm from Bitdefender and uninstall the "com.google.android.apps.restore" asap.

Edit: And unstall also Google Protect as it give false signals also on safe apps, like e.g. Viper4Android)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] devilrulz4ever:
It shows as "Android setup" in titanium backup. I think it comes up when you first boot your phone, language, account setup and all. Scan the app on other anti viruses. None of them are perfect so it can be a false positive.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] SuperUnkn0wn0ne:
I froze it and deleted the backup apk. Appreciate the input. Now let me go make a post about TWRP and encryption which really confuses me.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Puddi_Puddin:
You do understand that an AV does nothing other then giving you an extra warning on Android. It doesn't have the same possibilities as Windows or Linux to scan processes or apps... Atleast not without root. https://www.extremetech.com/computi...rus-apps-are-useless-heres-what-to-do-instead

Howdy people,

just picked up a strtrk over at expansys.

1.Im thinking about flashing one of the better roms out there,but would like to know if I can recover the current rom on the phone and back up in case there is an issue down the line.

2.I had two instances where the phone locked up on me and the only way to get it out was to do a reset.(well the second time I waited 30 seconds and it recovered) .Both cases I just dialed and number and couldnt hang up .o button response nothing... any ideas?

3.Battery - The battery life plain sucks .I had an archaic T610 before this guy and that got me at least 3 hours of talk time .This one ..an hour if Im lucky.Is it possible to clock it down to save battery?

Im still within my return period on the phone and Im really digging the idea ofa open hackable device but I fear I may have under-estimated the quirks..

I know there are a bunch of roms around.which one is recommended?

proirities being phone usage stability ,signal strength,battery life.?

Thanks,

keba

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] hydrakhan:
The main problem here is failing to boot to fastboot, with both adb and button way failing.

Any idea? A korean ****up?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Korean V30 variants don't have the necessary fastboot flash commands. Only H930, H939DS, and US998 have those.

That's why for WTF bootloader unlock and root method Korean variants have to temporarily convert to EU H930 (but they lose radio bands), and then flash back to something else with TWRP flashable zips after bootloader unlock and root, to get radio bands back.

These Pie betas are just inferior partial OTA files. Once full KDZ is released, you'll probably be able to root by using WTF/Korea variant method again. As long as you keep unlocked bootloader!

[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] dorsefrith:
Hello Community.

I have just received OnePlus Bullet Wireless 2 and I gotta say that sound quality is pretty nice. I know that there are cheaper bullets on the market but you got few things which explain the price.

So far my experience is very positive. They are very comfortable to wear which is not to easy task in my case since I often have a problem with fitting any airbuds. They are light and you do not notice them at all. As I said sound quality is very good. I am not an audiophile but I find everything what I am looking in earphones. Good bass, but not to strong, nice and clear separated sound. Outside sound isolation is also very nice and I was afraid that I will miss ANC in daily usage(my main headphones are Sony MDR1000x) but since they fit nice in my ears they do de work with cutting me off from environment.

I did not test battery life yet, I am using them without charging, they were already charged to 60% so I will have to test it more before I say any word about it.

Summary:

Pros:

- very good sound quality and sound isolation

- ergonomic - design, fit, comfort, magnetic connect

- Bluetooth 5.0 + aptX(you can change to LDAC in Developer settings)

- action button - switch between 2 devices

- fast charging via usb-c

Cons:

- charging cable could be longer

- case looks nice, feels nice but it could be slightly bigger since fitting earbuds inside is not to easy

- still price could be slightly lower since they do not have ANC and earbuds competition is strong

If you have any question - ask me ;)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] dorsefrith:
By the way... I am thinking about buying some foam tips for a better sound isolation but I am not sure what size should I get? t400, t500, t600? If any one knows it please let me know.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] B3311:
T160, according to Comply's online "Find your fit" guide.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] dorsefrith:
But there are no bullets 2 in selection and for other bullets earphones I have only S/M/L size not with TXXX.

Nozzle size is around 6,25mm so it looks like T600? All I can find is T400, occasionally T500 but it is often T400/T500.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] B3311:
Sorry, my mistake - that was for the wired Bullets v2.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] dorsefrith:
Ok so some time has passed.

1. Love the battery life

2. I am happy with sound quality

3. Sound isolation not to good(still waiting for memory foams)

What I hate?

1. WHY THERE IS NOT POWER BUTTON! O_O I carry my bullets in a backpack and they very often detach and connect to my phone disconnecting my other earphones.

2. Silicon case is totally useless.

Would I buy them again? not sure...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] innocentwoolf:
correct I am also facing same issue with bullets1

no way to power off
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] khalisz:
- The Bullets turn off himself after few seconds of inactivity or just stick them...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] dorsefrith:
I travel to work and when it is not to hot outside I use Sony MDR1000X(main daily drivers), I have my OP bullets in my bag(DELL backpack ) and often when I move and listen to the music my bullets disconnects for a while in my bag and connect to my phone and disconnect my MDR's. Sometimes I must open my bag and stick them back sometimes not. Sometimes I must do it few times so it is very annoying. I take of my bag, put it on the ground, run, go to a crowded place and they disconnect.... When I am not listening to the music, they connect and when I have a phone call I have to go to settings and quickly disconnect bluetooth since communication is done on the bullets which are in my bag.

For my it is an epic fail.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] khalisz:
- I think you need and you must learn how to use them.

- I use them everyday, I've no issue.

- Read : https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-bullets-wireless-q-a-user-manual-reviews-etc.954523/
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] dorsefrith:
I do not see what does your link solve? I can fit bullets inside the pouch but still if you press pouch gently bullets will disconnect and same thing happens inside backpack. Simple power button would solve the problem. Second thing it is a forum for bullets v1. Which as I heard had stronger magnets. In v2 magnets are weaker and they have a different shape so it is much easier to unstick them.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] intruda119:
Hold the button down for a few seconds to turn off correct?

Works on wireless v1 at least
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] dorsefrith:
:) it goes to paring mode you really think I would not try it? There is no option to turn them off manually, only by sticking them together and since they are curved shaped they very easily unstick in he pouch or even in my backpack. :(

oneplus wireless bullets v1 vs v2?

Hi guys, is it worth it to upgrade from wireless bullets v1 to v2? Is there a significant difference?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] borijess:
This is just my opinion but I hate the OnePlus bullets. In the age of wireless earbuds. They barely changed the v2 versions. This thick neck cord is so 2015. Come on OnePlus we need some nice earbuds without and cords.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jamie.bshop.1982:
Hi Everyone

I'm looking to upgrade from a Oneplus 3. Previously it was a great price for good specs.

I noticed the magic 3 whilst looking at YouTube and the specs look amazing.

1 - Interested to know of those who have had it for a while would you recommend getting it?

2 - what are the main annoying factors about the phone?

3 - Are there any others in the price range I should consider? I mostly play pubg, do retoo gaming and watch films with my existing phone

Many thanks in advance

Jamie
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] roadworker:
1 - Difficult to answer....if you're not into rooting and customizing,but happy with a basic Android experience and raw power,you should buy it......otherwise,if you want 100% flagship bells and whistless for half the price,you'll have to search futher,as this phone does not 'has it all' for just €479.

2 - For me,the most annoying thing is that there's much more to squeeze out of the camera,if Nubia's app would match the capabilities......but hopefully, there will be a working Gcam release in the near future.

3 - Xiaomi Mi 9....but I fell for the RM3.....
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jamie.bshop.1982:
Many thanks for the reply, I don't mind rooting if necessary.

I have it unrooted without gapps and IMO its better then some flagships. Reason is the big screen and the big battery and the stereo sound.

I would wait for two main reasons:

1) Asus is going to announce their new ROG phone at the end of this month. While it will probably be a good deal more expensive, It might have some cool features

2) Nubia just announced they are going to release an 855 Plus version of this phone.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] roadworker:
Thing is,no matter how long you wait ,there will always be something better on the horizon after your purchase.......no matter which device you've bought...
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Considering the price and the specs, I think the Red Magic 3 is about the best phone you can have nowadays.

If you buy it, you should consider two things :

- Chinese UI has a lot of features but is ugly and themes are mostly paid ones ;

- Europe/US/Asia ROM has ZERO features.

Once I recovered from the disappointment, the second solution was clearly what I was looking for.

So here is my advice :

- take the Europe/US/Asia version and flash it to your device (if it doesn't ship with that as stock)

- unlock the bootloader

-root your phone.

All this is done in like 4/5 minutes...

Once done, install all apps to add the required features.

You will have a phone that has ONLY THE FEATURES YOU WANT.

No bloat, no unnecessary stuff...

A dream come true :)

Of course, it comes with a price : once rooted, you will get OTA notifications but won't be able to install them...

Regards.

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Psyrecx:
If you live in North America, I'd steer clear of this company.

I ordered one of their phones last week. I still have yet to receive my shipping notice. I ordered it with priority shipping, and according to their website, it should have shipped within 24 hours of payment.

4 days after it failed to ship, I contacted support, and was told "Be patient". Ever since then, they've stopped responding to emails. They won't give me any sort of clue as to when my order will ship. Apparently this is a frequent occurrence with Red Magic.

They're one of those companies that are only interested in getting devices out to reviewers, everyone else is to fend for themselves.

The support page on their website doesn't work. Apparently they didn't pay for it. Nubia cannot give any answers either, they just argue back in forth in the support email with several of the employees arguing about who's job it is to deal with.

If you ever receive a phone from them, and have an issue, good luck with that. Their current company (if you can call it that) shows that can't deal with supporting their devices. They can't even deal with fulfilling orders.

Stay far far away from this company, for you own good.

Is there likely to significant difference between the 8gb and 12gb ram? I think I'm going to get it but wonder if it's worth the extra money. Also just seen they mentioned the magic 4 by the end of the year. So maybe prices will come down
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDroidMe:
Well I'm in N.A. and I bought it from the site day it released. Great phone, few bugs at the moment and its a gaming phone at heart with stock Android, easily customizable. Honestly any game task you throw at it handles like a boss. It's an emulation dream with built in buttons. My controller and case should arrive the 22nd and I'm sure it will be great. I can tell you any Bluetooth controller works well on it too. The choice to buy is up to you, basically do you want a gaming phone or something else.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mumboender:
I have had this for two days in the USA and I love it. Usually I have buyer's remorse and would be looking for a new phone by now so I can say it really is great. Battery life is better than my S9 with a Mophie pack so far. Even with playing with it constantly I can't kill it in one day and usually my S9 needs to be plugged in by late afternoon. I have not rooted it yet, and may not. I love a clean version of Android. Not sure why people think that is bad. All the random customization sometimes comes with a speed cost. This phone is just plain fast. Usually I root to get rid of crap so you can see where I stand. If you hate big heavy phones, don't buy it. That is the negative. I had a ZTE Axon 7 and updates were slow so that's another negative. Other than that, super fast, great screen, great battery, strong data signal...it's a buy. Reminds me of the original OnePlus, or the Axon. Phones that were surprising values, but were big and heavy.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cottaer:
I'm coming from the OnePlus 3(T) as well, looking for a new device. What I didn't like at the Oneplus were the original ROM (luckily Lineage helped a lot) and the sound and position of the speaker. I loved the front facing stereo speakers of my HTC One (m7) years ago.

So I'm thinking of purchasing the RM3, but at the moment there are no alternative ROMS. Another device I'm looking at is the Black Shark 2, but situation with ROMs and support seems to be even worse.

For the RM3, I have concerns, if a fan inside a mobile will really last for some years, or break down at some time...
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mumboender:
I also had the 3T and 1 and the 6T obviously this is just a better phone due to the increases in tech. No way to tell on the fan, I will say...and not sure how ZTE vs it's company Nubia will work, but my Axon 7 had a couple of screen issues due to my dropping it and the speaker stopped working, not sure if it was due to that and ZTE fixed it every time free of charge within the first year. I was very happy with their service on that phone. ROM support will be lacking but it's a clean version of Android so I prefer that

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

To me...a clean, lean ROM, which the US version is, rooted with Magisk and other mods I choose myself is always the best option. Some custom ROMs can get pretty bloated themselves
