[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] GunKneeNeon:
What do you mean by super dimming feature? Is it S-Curve？This app can adjust the brightness but it's not flicker free.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
Open VAB, settings, enable advanced features. Open "superdim threshold" under Sensitivity options and set it to 100 (or minimum value at which your device still doesn't use PWM). VAB will then dim the screen with an overlay instead of using system brightness control so it will be flicker free. You might want to add "permanent additional brightness" to overcome too dark display (or modify the curve).
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] GunKneeNeon:
Wow, it's a professional app with so many options. By setting the Superdim Threshold to 100(my note 3 will not use PWM only when brightness set to 100%), the result getting way too much better, but I can still find some little flicker when the camera is at certain angle/distance.

Regardless of the app, do you think that DC Dimming nowadays is a perfect solution to the flicker issue or just a compromise?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
You still might see some "flicker" in camera, but it's not a PWM brightness control, rather a display sync/refresh. I believe that it's inevitable. However this one doesn't cause any eye strain and is completely harmless.

DC dimming is completely flicker free, but at the cost of inaccurate colors and possible screen artifacts. The severity and type of side effects depend on the display manufacturer, type, content being displayed etc., so it's hard to evaluate it generally. Unfortunately most of OLED panels are not built with DC dimming in mind, so they depend almost purely on PWM to have consistent color accuracy.

For me personally, a bit less accurate colors (which are way oversaturated on AMOLEDs anyway) and occasional artifacts on the screen were less disturbing than PWM causing eye strain and headaches. But I eventually switched to IPS LCD and won't return to AMOLED any time soon. I won't pay for something fundamentally flawed.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] GunKneeNeon:
Please watch this video, do you think that the flicker shown after dc dimming being turned on is something like display sync/refresh?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
Hard to evaluate from the video, but you can quickly verify it yourself. Examples attached. Photos taken in "pro" mode - the fastest available shutter speed 1/4000s. "PWM.jpg" is showing stock minimum brightness, "DC dimming.jpg" is with active OLED saver. 100% brightness without OLED saver (=no PWM) has exactly the same output as DC dimming.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] hadiamj22:
I am pwmfree and it working perfectly but i have question i didnt download oled saver and i just downloaded pwmfree and it working perfectly can i only use this app rather downloading oled saver
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
Unless I'm mistaken, pwmfree doesn't work with automatic brightness, while Oled saver does. Give it a go and you'll see which app suits you better. 🙂

Has anyone tested and know what is the best physical brightness setting for Samsung S8?

Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragon..:
This app is not available on google play anymore. Where can we get it from?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
That's unfortunate, but you can find apk on some mirrors like this for example - https://m.apkpure.com/oled-saver/org.js.oledsaver
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragon..:
Can this app work on a device like the samsung a52 who has pwm even on full brightness? pwmfree doesn't remove pwm.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] _mysiak_:
I'm afraid that not, app requires HW to be PWM free at least at 100% of the brightness. Technically speaking it doesn't remove PWM itself, but rather dims the display by putting a semi transparent overlay over the whole screen and thus forcing the DC dimming. If the display can't work without PWM even at 100%, you're most probably out of luck.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] L1p1c1:
So, you want someone to buy a samsung A52 and test it for you if its working ? Hilarious 😂
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] billyswong:
Hi I don't know where to report bugs for this app so i will post here:

In my new Android 12 phone, if I switch on auto-rotate, other apps rotate correctly but not for the OLED Saver overlay. Or may I say, it rotates when it shouldn't. Therefore the dimming becomes broken. My old phone is LCD screen so I have never used this app before. Is this just me or this bug also exist in others' phones?

Edit: Either the app shall stop itself from being rotated, or resize the overlay when rotated

Edit2: The bug can only be triggered if a rotate-able app is active. e.g. Chrome.

Edit3: I reread the APK download page and reinstall the app. Problem solved!

Hi,

Does any one have issues with accessing SD card after applying October security update? I am using it as portable storage, and it says it is corrupted after upgrade. Format does not help. SD card can be formated and used as internal storage, but not as portable. I was able to format SD card on the laptop, but phone is not recognising it after. Same message SD is corrupt.

Thanks,

In my case, when copying music to an external drive, there is a playback problem and duplicate files appear. I tried everything, even went to the warranty service, could not do anything. I found only one person with a similar problem, but it didn’t give me anything. Maybe it’s in the SD memory card class..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jocool:
I know this is a strange request but I need to deliver my phone for repair because of HW issues and since it seems way to hard to recreate the original operator image from the dump, I thought that if I could get the phone into a situation where there is no bootloader then that should be enough.

Any ideas?

Thanx,

Wish I could but if I break it physically need to pay a fine :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Kael:
simple answer:

HTC doesn't take "the phone was burned" under warranty...

So instead of giving nonsense remarks, you could have said nothing instead.

Of course this is cheating, in a way, but since there are HW issues and HTC doesn't repair unless it's the original ROM on it...

Jocool: One method would be to disconnect during a ROM installation, thou i'm not sur if you can't still get it right after that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wam7:
You'd probably have to get it to the original bootloader which shouldn't be too hard and then interrupt it during a Radio flash.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ai6908:
Flash a radio and pull the cable about half way through...i think that should do it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jocool:

Thanx

Eran
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] duke_stix:
actually, i thought HTC dont cover software issues?

and if YOU damage the bootloader in the update process is that not your responsibility? as i'm pretty sure the RUU states somewhere that you update at your risk?

if i were you, just do something to fubber up the mainboard, best thing i suggest is to put something into the micro sd card slot which will basically insulate the pins such that it doesnt make contact with the memory card, that way you can get the thing changed like i did with my old charmer!

brick your phone???

4 months ago I sent my device for repairing, but they sent it back after 3 months with a note that: "the device can not be repaired any more becasue the Flashbaustein (this is the name in German and I couldn't find the english word) is kaputt" :D

of course I can assure you they even didn't try to switch on the device in these 3 months... after a long discussion with the T-Mobile agent, I took my device home and tried to re-flash a new ROM on it and everything went as it should be.

be careful with the risks you might cause to yourself
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vmirage:
i once did it with my htc wizard ... though i forgot how already ... but I think it did it through the sd card... not sure if it's possible with hermes though since I didn't try that ...

but anyway, i think I modified the first few bytes in the 512 header of the rom with random characters and copied into the sd card to flash my wizard.

Tada, killed the bootloader :D

I hope that you can do that with the hermes ... I did see a wiki on how to flash your hermes through your sd.

Hope this helps

Hi

Try this, i assure you that will do the trick.

Connect a USB Cableto the HTC, get a 20V AC adapter, connect a wire to the Positive and one to the negative on the AC adapter connector, connect the negative to the outside of the usb cable, and, use the positive in every other contacts, wen you see SMOKE, STOP.

I'am preaty shure that they wont get to the BootLoader :)

New Idea

I have an idea...

1. Get an anvil

2. Get a sledgehammer

3. Place your Hermes on top of the anvil

4. Drop the sledgehammer on it

5. Pick up the pieces

6. Glue them together

7. Polish it with a fine cloth

8. Wrap it in a fancy paper

9. Send it to wherever you were sending it in the first place

the best way is to cause an electrical fault. just connect a 12V car battery to the battery terminals of your phone. just be careful as you may kill yourself due to the high current flwoing out of the battery regardless even though its 12v.

[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] mikey.wetzel:
Got my phone today, and the feature I'm looking most forward to compared to my old phone, is being able to post 3D photos to facebook. (They use the depth of a "portrait" photo to make the post.) I know this feature works with the Pixel 3.

Sadly, facebook must not recognize the Pixel 4 as a compatible phone with their 3D Photo feature, because it's not available.

If you've had better luck, please let me know what step I might be missing. Here's how it works on an iPhone 8 or higher, or Pixel 3:

(1) Make sure facebook is installed on your phone

(2) Take a photo on your phone in "portrait" mode

(3) Make a new post on facebook. Tap it to see more options.

(4) Select "3D Photo" and then select your "portrait" photo you just took.

(5) Facebook will do some processing on it and then...voila...a 3D photo!

(However, step 4 doesn't work on my new Pixel 4. Facebook doesn't give the option to post as a 3D photo.)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GhotiGhongers:
I need to return my phone under warranty. I have SuperCID locked the phone (it was unlocked) and have installed the relevant reconstructed ROM (T-Mobile 1.56.110.4) and radio (1.27.12.32) and finally have put back the original SPL (1.56.0000).

When I mtty into the phone and run 'info 2', the phone reports my CID as:

11111111

The CID for my phone should be T-MOB005 (as verified by running info 2 on a friends phone).

How would I change the CID from 11111111 to the correct T-MOB005?

After changing my CID using this tool and re-applying my radio, I started the bootloader and ran 'info 2' through mtty. I noticed that the CID was 11111111 (which wasn't what I'd set, but is the default for HardSPL).

I then reinstalled the 1.56.0000 SPL over HardSPL. I started the bootloader, ran 'info 2' and noted that the CID was T-MOB005.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] saccentekennedy:
Hi all! I've purchased a Ghost Shield set of near invisible film protectors for my 4XL coming tomorrow. I usually prefer these kinds of protectors as they're basically invisible and provide scratch resistance.

At any rate, I see that there's no cut out for the Soli sensor and I'm wondering if that will make a difference? No one has ever used a radar chip in a phone so I don't know if it needs complete openness over it or whether a thin film over it will be ok?

[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] bhavstech:
This is just a thread to guide how I have improved battery life, since the current software still lacks many battery related optimisations:

Step 1:

IMPORTANT

Install Greenify (donate if possible, you can really avoid play services battery drain with that, just 1$ :P )

Turn on smart hibernation, it will have aggressive doze can really improve standby life

Follow the prompted steps of adb shell to enable it and turn off instant lock (have a 5 sec wait period) for effective hibernation

Step 2:

IMPORTANT

Check if you have share usage statistics enabled anywhere in the following apps:

- Oneplus Experience

- Gboard (Uploads a lotttt of data)

- Improve user experience of any sort

Step 3:

IMPORTANT

Set location of all apps to only while using

Step 4:

IMPORTANT

Intelligent control doesnt seem to be perfect yet

Put all apps to optimise from intelligent control that you suspect to run in background

Except apps you cant afford to be hibernated

Like whatsapp

Only keep apps you cant even afford to be killed at any costs in Dont optimise

Step 5:

IMPORTANT

If you tend to unlock your phone a lot and especially if you have 90hz on, consider removing the live wallpaper and replace it with the static verison

Step 6:

Turn off backgrlound data for apps which have literally no use in backround

Step 7:

Radio doesnt seem to be optimised yet, try to limit all of your bluetooth and data related apps, especially while travelling and low coverage areas, turn off bluetooth scanning in location

Step 8:

Consider using dark mode, use amoled to full potential :)

Step 9:

Try checking for unecessary apps which you have kept installed for :maybe if i need in future, and keep giving you notifications or run in background, try keeping an apk or greenify it.

STEP 10:

If you are using play music etc for local songs, consider running in offline mode, or if you stream in low coverage, consider saving songs offline
