[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] mohammed510:
Dedicated gaming consoles with built in fan are very different from mobile phones with gaming features. The first one usually does better at gaming. It is supposed to. It is the only thing that it is made for with all devs focusing on just one hardware. On mobile phones however, you have hundreds of different hardwares with limited thermal envelope. I'd be very interested to see a gaming video comparison between your note 10+, rog 2 and P30 pro..
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] HermesHidayat:
Between those 3. And lets say CODM. The best is ROGPHONE 2. Why? Because no notch. Yes i can hide the notch but the area near the notch is very unresponsive. I have made many threads about this in AC forums.

But the ROGPHONE 2 section there is dead. That's why im here xD
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] weyrulez:
yes i agree with you. i dont know whats this hype is all about. my main reason why i bought this phone is the battery. and i already knew that mobile gaming sucks. all high end phone sucks at certain point when you play at high settings and its better to buy gaming PC or consoles if you are really on gaming.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] HermesHidayat:
Thank you for not bashing me. I mean even with 1 game installed. It still wouldnt do as good as consoles. People be boasting stuff like BEST GAMING PHONE and so on but its not even gaming... I know i can buy those add ons to have buttons but its gonna cost even way more.

And i know its a smartphone. Supposed to make multiple devices become 1. But i personally have a device for every need. Like an A&K for music, PS4 for games,Mirrorless Camera for photos, Laptop for work and so on.

And not to mention the amount of cash needed to be powerful in mobile games. Pro Non Casher will always lose to Noob Casher. But on consoles its different.

And yes this phone has crazy battery life. Haha. With no games installed I could easily get 2 days of normal usage.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] gilsol:
Hi guys, I can relate to everything you said and was also thinking about the switch. But as I bought this phone for 500$ it was a no brainier.

The sad state of gaming in Android is not a hardware issue but bad Android OS api implementation. This is supposedly handled in new vulkan api. But the worst problem is the crap state of content, with virtually all games adopting freemium models which kill all games. For some reason people expect to get things for free on mobile and don't want to pay for good games so companies delivered free crap which makes you pay to play. 5,6 years ago there were plenty of good premium games, now they are rare. I'm actually now checking game streaming services.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] zayidhs:
It's all semantics.

Let's grade all the available gaming phones. Is ROG 2 the best among them? If yes then it's obviously the best gaming phone!

Now back to your comparison of gaming phones against dedicated gaming devices and consoles.

That's an unfair and improper way of comparing them. Cos one set of devices is specialised in executing only a single task (playing games) while the other set countless tasks (calls, sms, email, photography, multimedia, data storage, web activity, gaming, navigation, health,l and a ton of other things ranging from controlling your smart home & CCTVs to being used for penetration testing etc).

Maybe that's one of the key factors ??*♂️

I bought the Switch Lite and tried to use it as a phone... oh wait.. its not................................ :eek:
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] HermesHidayat:
The Nintendo Switch Lite wasnt advertised as a phone. Whereas the ROGPHONE 2 was advertised as the best "GAMING" phone. Owh wait, did i get the ads wrong?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] vygneys_vyg:
ROG 2 was advertised as the best gaming "phone", not the best gaming "device" or "handheld".

The games being laggy is the issue of Android itself and not ASUS. ASUS has literally delivered the best gaming "phone" till date. No other "phone" beats it in gaming.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] HermesHidayat:
So Asus should use IOS? You dont get my point...
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] HermesHidayat:
Yes i know that. And i did try to just use my ROGPHONE 2 for just 1 game which is CODM. And it did stutter. Not often but it does. Many factors can cause the stutter but it does stutter.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] AlanTham:
Why are we even comparing a mobile device vs a dedicated gaming console in the 1st place ? ?

Rog phone 2 is a great phone simple...

The 120hz AMOLED, 6000mah battery , sd 855+ already won my heart
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] mohammed510:
Maybe the issue is with that game bro, not the phone. Are you using the cooler? If the phone gets too hot then it will throttle both CPU and GPU then gaming performance will decrease for sure, there's no way around that. That's how devices with passive cooling work. But if the phone remains cool then there's no reason for the game to stutter as SD855+ is powerful enough to run any game in the playstore. Unless the game itself is poorly optimized, which is not a sign of a quality triple A game, as it should run fine on much weaker hardware..
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] gilsol:
I played this game a lot and it never had a stuttered. It is actually one of the better optimised games. In online games, stutters can also be the result of bad network connection.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] mohammed510:
Games on iOS are usually better optimized. Game devs just spend more effort on iOS games because they get more profit from iOS than from Android.

I have a pro max and a rog 2. The pro max will only run heavy games for like 20mins then it will get hot and brightness will go down to 50% or less. That is not a pleasant experience if you're a serious gamer. The iPhone can only hit peak performance for a short time because it is a passively cooled device, despite the powerful hardware.

In short, just use the switch or xbox or Playstation for serious gaming, games are much much more optimized for the hardware there and they are all actively cooled dedicated gaming consoles..
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] cheetah2k:
CODM stutters on iOS too - especially with a crappy internet connection. I play CODM on the ROG2, connected to a 5G router and no issues, but when connected to 100mbit HFC broadband connection i get the odd stutter. CODM is smooth 99% of the time for me, so its something beyond the phone thats your issue..

Maybe you should stick to the Nintendo... Sounds like its the only solution for someone like yourself. :good:

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

Agree with your point. People are comparing console and phones for no reasons. and yep it is advertised as best gaming phone and it indeed is the best gaming phone.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] VarDes:
To be honest, I couldn't find a worthy contender to get as a daily driver for the last 2 years. I don't really do gaming on it apart from occasional pubg game, or some emulation. BUT the sheer firepower this phone holds bought me, especially screen+battery+3.5mm jack+front stereo speakers. And I know this phone will easily last me another 3-4years of usage (with occasional battery exchange of course). I considered note10+, but lack of 3.5mm jack and no stereo speakers killed it for me (former nexus6 owner). So You can't tell people not to buy this phone as a daily driver, maaaybe if someone works with a lot of dust this phone might not be the best idea, but there is a fix to that too (basically wrap it around -screen with stretch foil for daily usage - no need to make holes for ports, except if you use the 3.5mm jack)
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] gilsol:
Totally agree with you. That was the noobiest pro tip I have ever read.

Next time call it a personal opinion.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] pilzkopf92:
Hey,

My phone got really quiet during phonecalls 2 weeks ago. I have the slight feeling that I got a software update in that timeframe, but since I can't pinpoint either, that might be coincidence (unless others have the same problem). I also noticed that before while watching videos, you would get the feeling that the sound came from the middle of your phone (and had proper stereo), while now I notice pretty obviously that the sound comes out of the speakers near the USB-C connector..

I've also confirmed that everything is fine when I have a call on Bluetooth Headsets or on Loudspeaker, so it seems that only the speaker next to the front facing camera is affected.

Anybody else with similar issues? Makes phonecalls without bluetooth close to impossible in any crowded area.

Thanks, Olli
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Check your audio settings anyway. Leave it on music, seems to help and check if mono is turned on in accessibility.

If like me you blocked up your earpiece grill, then get a toothbrush and get it clean, no water just (light) stabbing motions and circular whilst pushing against it .

For me it was what worked.

The main speaker (bottom) I would avoid pushing anything in there at all, but compressed air would work as it should.

Anybody knows when watching YouTube how can we use the swipe up feature to swipe between videos to go to the next suggested video's? Tried doing that but it keeps on activating the navigation gestures instead.
[Vivo Nex 3 Questions & Answers] xchatter:
I don't have the phone anymore, but I would suggest you try some of the other navigation alternatives(for example soft buttons) and see if this will help you. If you want to preserve the navigation type(swiping and stuff) and have also Youtube working with the same gesture - probably no way to do it. You want to have the global navigation gestures disabled while you are only in Youtube, which I don't think is possible.

Thanks for the reply. I managed to find out what causes it. It was my mx player settings. It find it weird that it can cause that. Before I changed some settings everything was working fine.

Most of the Touch ROM's (black shadow/satin, etc) had a back calculator with large buttons.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pedmond:
Just beware: I tried to install a skin for the native calc a while ago (it was also for SPB Calc), and the native calc application vanished. The only way I could get it back was after a hard reset!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cina:
You're right: I've just uninstalled it but I could not get native calc back. Temporary solution is to reinstall SPB skin and it works like before.

Isn't the original calculator.exe in Windows folder resides in ROM? (shouldn't it reappear if RAM file with the same name is deleted?)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tzuuit:
Hello everyone,

I have a Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with Kernel 3.18.91. and Android 8.0. The phone was rooted just recently with the latest version of magisk.

I am not quite the expert, but I will try my best to describe the issue.

Basically after I rooted this phone, I started noticing that I could no longer play back videos in Whatsapp before I send them (the preview window where you can edit it before sending it).

All it does now is play back the audio and show a black screen. It doesn't crash or anything, the content of the video is just not being played except the audio.

Video playback is completely fine in the stock gallery app and everywhere else.

I already reinstalled Whatsapp and restarted my Phone

I have the following modules for magisk installed:

Busybox 1.31.1

debloater 17.3.3

Viper4Android FX 2.7.1

Samsung 4K60 Camera Mod 7.6.86

I also removed some of the bloating software with the terminal, but upon noticing this issue I decided to revert some of the changes. I do not know if this issue persisted beforehand. I was thinking that I might have deleted something here that was important for its functionality, but then the stock player wouldnt work either right?

I would rather not do a factory reset to fix this, if possible. However, if there is no other possibilty is there a way to backup all my modules and settings?

Here is what I tried:

reinstall Whatsapp multiple times

restart the phone

revert some of the changes in the debloater terminal

deactivate HW overlay

My guess is that I deleted something in the terminal that was important, is there a way to know for sure?

I hope someone can give me some hints as to what this problem is about. I will make sure to add screenshots of the list EDIT: need 10 posts to send links so I will just do it manually.

list of removed apps:

Basic Daydreams

Skype

tuiService

VoiceAssistant

upsmtheme

gearmanagerstub

samsung galaxy friends

language packs

galaxy essential widgets

Gear VR Service

S voice

Samsung gear, account, billing, cloud

EDIT 2: I found a temporary fix by enabling force GPU rendering in the system settings, I double checked by enabling the refresh indicator and previewing a video. Once I disable this option, video preview no longer works again. Question now is, if there is a way for me to exclusively enable this for whatsapp to save battery life
