Hi. Never posted before but I tried a bunch of cases on my Xiaomi Mi 9 and the one which worked best for me was the Spigen. I got the same brand again for my Xiaomi Mi 10 and it hasn't disappointed.

My main concern was how the side swiping would be effected with the case but happy to say it sits slightly below the glass. Just need to find a better screen protector now as the pre-installed one doesn't look good.

I found the Spigen case on Amazon as it was cheaper than the company's own website but feel free to make your suggestions for what case works best for you ?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Accessories] DJ-Tumor:
The Ringke Fusion X is so right on the spot I can´t imagine any better case for the Mi10.

Everything is close to perfect. It´s just a little on the bulky side.....but thats a given if you want a really protective case.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Accessories] GyGu:
I also have Ringke X Fusion and I don't want another one.

I feel the cell phone is very protected, I recommend it.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Accessories] Juned1206:
I tried ringke x fusion camo, nillkin shiled cam, spigen crystal, and xundd luxury airbag case.

Ringke x fussion the grip a bit weird and not comfort in hand but its make ur phone looks cool

Spigen nice grip but looks just like an ordinary transparent case

Nilkin shield cam nice grip but not shockproof

Xundd luxury airbag is the most case i like for mi 10, comfort grip, fully protection and looks cool

Sorry for my bad english
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Accessories] Masinac85:
I bought two Spigen cases: Liquid Crystal and Rugged Armor. The transparent case looks better only in the images, but it feels bigger and heavier. The black Rugged Armor case looks better on the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Accessories] badaas:
Nilkin flip case with NFC tag ftw...
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Accessories] c2560242:
I bought same cases.

Black looks much better indeed, but crystal seems to fit much better.

Black is a bit loose around the buttons on the right.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Accessories] Masinac85:
I didn't get that feeling. The case is more loose overall compared to the transparent one, but the side button caps are firm on my case. They provide very nice feedback when I press the buttons.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Accessories] raymond kelly:
does the mi 10 case fit the 5g version thanks for your time
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Accessories] Mackay53:
The mi 10 case will fit the mi 10 5g because the mi 10 5g is the mi 10
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Accessories] Ryan_b936:
Nillkin Case with slider for the camera is just perfect. Put it with a hydrogel screen protector and it's just awesome

Hi, except for security patches, what would be the reasons to upgrade to 10.3.3 from 9.0.9?

Not experiencing any issues.

I'm not sure I want to go through the hassle of upgrading. :)

I'm rooted with unlocked bootloader, running magisk.

Thanks! / Jonis
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] freezingfox:
Dark mode, better gesture navigation, randomized MAC, improved location permissions. There's not much hassle in upgrading, too. You can just download the zip, local upgrade, and it would install in the background. If you want root, you can just re-root after updating since your bootloader will stay unlocked. Besides, we would surely get Android 11 by next year, and I don't think you'd want to be left behind by 2 updates when that comes.

It's a regular update, so no.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Droid_Nut:
Is there any reason that I can just directly download the zip file to my phone, instead of PC and transfer to the phone, as in the instructions below?

Thank you
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Lossyx:
You can download directly in your phone, and place it in root of sdcard.

Also be sure the file ends with a .zip extension.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Droid_Nut:
So I downloaded it, it was a jar, so I extracted it and put it in the root of my sdcard. When I try to do local upgrade, it says, "Move installation file into root directory." I moved the jar file as well, and it does not detect it.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5408779:
Rename .jar into .zip and copy it in the root.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Droid_Nut:
Thanks for all of your help. Upgrade is done, easy peasy! :good:

Hi is anyone using the Oxygen Updater? Any pros or cons? https://oxygenupdater.com/

I use it to notify me when an update is available and to handle the download. After that I switch to the system updater to perform the local upgrade.

Is anyone having problems with video playback?

WMV files they are played very slow (loosing a lot of frames). With MP4 I got best results but not the best. Any suggestions??

Thanks

Has anyone been able to play a full resolution file without skipping?

I am using CorePlayer now but if another player works better, please say so.

With Coreplayer I benchmark about 85%, which is not good enough.

I believe the Diamond should be able to get 100%.

I found that an encoded mp4 file would play about the same as the original avi xvid file...

What do you use to encode videos specifically for the Diamond?

Come on!! Post your results!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Krpano:
What video settings do you use with coreplayer ?

DirectDraw, GDI or what ?

This is what i get:

View attachment 104507 View attachment 104508

With these configs.:

View attachment 104509 View attachment 104510

But with some other videos i have i get only 88% speed and some frame drops and tearing.

Doesnt the Diamond has a good video hardware.

Imo, it shouldnt lag at all.

Ive read somewhere that it doesnt use the hardware correctly since the drivers were not fully implemented. Not sure if its true.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] edan:
Still looking for a good solution... any more help?

Coreplayer is still choppy ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dg81:
Yeah, I wasn't able to get WMVs to play using this, either.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] edan:
I think what we need to have a look at is which encoding, resolution, bitrate, fps, etc are optimal for the diamond using core player.

I'm experimenting a bit. Will report back in a bit...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wallydogking:
I've just got my Ignito (diamond) a couple of days ago, but I've got a long history of video playback on hand helds. Since this is my first time post, and I happen to have a bit of time on my hands.... I'm going to convert a file into a series of different resolutions and settings to see which one will perform the best. I know the objective is to get a full res one to play, but I'll see what I can come up with.

Also, I'm using the default ROM at this time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] The_Weird:
With Coreplayer you should use the 'QTv' display option - this is hardware accelerated and beats 100% benchmark on every AVI I have tried. If you get a blank display using this mode, you are using an old version and need to update.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] edan:
Alright. After trying a bunch of different codecs, encoders, video and audio formats at various resolutions I came the conclusion that for now, full resolution video is just not possible without jerky movements during continuous motion or fast action scenes.

My eyes are very sensitive and I get really irritated if playback is not perfectly smooth.

So far what works the best in achieving this kind of natural playback is AVI as the output container with XviD video codec at 480 x 360 resolution, and mp3 audio. I set the video and audio bitrates to match whatever the source video was (min 864 kbps and max 1008 kbps for video and 192 kbps for audio).

Even then, CorePlayer is a must with the following settigns: QTv On, TytnII driver mode On and Smooth Zoom On.

Every now and again CorePlayer will show only a purple screen during playback when QTv mode on. At that point I usually do a soft reset and it starts working again.

This issue may be resolved with an upcoming release of CorePlayer (1.3) but until then, the solution above works exceptionally well.

I'd be very interested in anyone else is having success in other ways...

320 by 240 versus 640 by 480

I have done some playing with conversion and have found that the Diamond (currently) does not support the 640 by 480 settings with a good bitrate. The BEST conversion I have found (using Coreplayer to play back the files) is using the BETA Version of the Pocket Divx Encoder (http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/EN_index.htm) and using the HTC Diamond Template (NON VGA!!!!, there is a VGA and non VGA) that team has developed. They have done an excellent job!

The output settings -

Dimensions 320 by 240

Video Quaility - "36" ... 584 kb bitrate

Hopefully an update by HTC or coreplayer will be released to fully utilize the resolution that the Diamond SHOULD be able to support, but for a clear, non jerky playback, this is my 2 cents :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] blufade:
im able to play those axxo dvdripson using coreplayer without any sort of convertion....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sketchy9:
I want to share my experience. I am using core player and trying to recode unprotected high-definition TV shows (original resolution of 1920x1080) that I've recorded on Windows Media Center (.dvr-ms files) to watch on my Sprint Diamond. Unfortunately .dvr-ms are poorly supported, and the only program I've found to recode is TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress.

I am using Core Player version 1.2.5 build 4506, and my video output is QTv Display with the Tytn II driver mode enabled.

Like everyone else here, I have had horrible results when converting the shows to DivX at 640x360 at any usuable bitrate (above 500 kbps). Benchmarking in Core Player yielded a playback speed of 66% or so (completely unacceptable, obviously). So I played around with the resolution and bitrate, and finally settled on the following:

Format: DivX

resolution: 512x288 (maintains the 16:9 aspect ratio of the original)

Video bitrate: 850 kbps

Frame rate: 29.97 fps (progressive)

Audio: MP3

Audio bitrate: 80 kbps, 48kHz sample rate

With those settings, I have a 104% playback benchmark with around 25 dropped frames compared to several thousand played, and about 29.5 fps. Basically, it is completely smooth audio and video.

I was still PO'd that I had to sacrifice so much resolution and bitrate on a supposed media device, so I played around with other formats. WMV was awful. MPEG-2 was awful, and avi was passable, but no better than DivX. I also decided to try h.264 (MPEG-4 AVC). Here are the settings I used:

Video Format: MPEG-4 AVC (saves as .mp4)

Resolution: 640x360 (still maintaining the original 16:9 AR)

Video bitrate: 1000 kbps

frame rate: 29.97 fps (progressive)

Audio format: AAC

Audio bitrate: 96 kbps, 48kHz sample rate

Core Player absolutely choked on this. It was unwatchable, and the benchmark revealed a playback speed of 50%. Dropped frames were higher than played frames (!) and framerate was 13 fps. Obviously not successful.

But, before I deleted the file, on a whim I decided to try Windows Media Player and...it was completely FLAWLESS playback. Absolutely beautiful, smooth motion, no audio stuttering, slow and fast pans were the best I've ever seen on a WM device.

Why??? Is there something I'm missing about this that someone can elaborate on? Is this the fabled "hardware acceleration" that I've read so much about? I should note that WMP had a hard time on a 320x240 .wmv file, so I can't really understand how it is able to play a 640x360 .mp4 file so smoothly. In any event, I have found my perfect file format, and, surprisingly, it doesn't involve Core Player in any way.

-R
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wishmaster89:
The thing is that HTC didn't release any kind of SDK for Diamond or Touch Pro and companies like CoreCodec have hard time trying to figure out how to use the HW acceleration but they are trying very hard to improve the situation so maybe with time they will be able to use the HW for now the only way we wan't to watch videos with HW acceleration is only WMP which means recoding or atleast remuxing files.

Cheers

P.S. Could you post exact specs of the .mp4 file? What kind of AVC it was and things like that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nandowong:
in regards to the WMP hardware acceleration.

is it better on battery life than having coreplayer trying its hard out to render a video. even if its a small 320x vid that plays at 120%. Does that mean that the cpu is running near max?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] muuu:
120% means that coreplayer can render the video 20% faster then the playback speed.

Running at 80%, means the opposite, that coreplayer cant keep up with the playback speed, and are dropping frames. Resulting in poor playback.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mike infinity:
I just acquired my diamond and tried a couple of divx files...both show an annoying amount of lag as lond as the video quality is set to 'high' on coreplayer. If I set it to medium and qTV it plays fairly smooth, but the image is alot less sharp.

My old axim x51v had a similar processor with HW video acceleration and less RAM...and it could playback just about anything you threw at it with TCPMP and never dropped a frame for VGA sampled video.

Two steps forward...three steps back. This shouldn't be an issue for a high spec WM device in 2008.

I am looking forward to the next release of coreplayer as I don't like having to recode my media files.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] k9tim:
Having come from a tilt to a Fuze I was really put off by the HTC tradition of crap playback quality. I've converted everything from SD video to HD using all sorts of containers and formats then I came across this post yesterday.

I took a SD video of the Blue Man Group Megastar show I ripped from HD and used Super to convert it to the settings above. Right at 800meg once done.

Like Sketchy said, CorePlayer absolutely ate it. It was HORRIBLE no matter what settings I used- qTV, DD, Raw Frame blah blah blah. It played awful.

So I tried it on WMP and I was BLOWN AWAY. It was no doubt the cleanest, smoothest, eye-pleasing playback I have seen on any of my HTC devices. I chose the BMG video to see how smooth the video was when zoomed in on the drumsticks when they play. It was the first time I could stand to actually watch an entire show on a HTC device...

What the heck is going on here? I bought CorePlayer to try and combat the lousy playback on my Tilt and now I'm finding out WMP is the way to go simply by using the settings above....

Thanks for the heads up Sketchy!!!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] k9tim:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] IceEyz:
OMG, this would be Superb News!!

I was converting some videos for my upcoming HD. So now I've been rendering Wall-E to 800x382, 1000kbps H264, 23.976fps, with 96kbps 48kHz AAC into a .mp4.

Unfortunately, I don't have the HD yet, but someone else might try it!

This should get stickied, seriously!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] k9tim:
Ok here is a short little snippet of the video. 9mb.

My desktop pc was messing with me a bit, but it should work for ya.

Try it in coreplayer and wmp. At least for me, wmp is blowing the socks off coreplayer.

Just for grins, I tried it again right now. With activesync running in the background, coreplayer ate crap. WMP rocked.

Go figure.

enjoy and please post any other findings. Sorry about the rapidshare. All I have available ATM.

I have no problems getting good video performance with avi & MP4 (H.264)...

WMV however plays horribly slow!!! Even small 320x240 clips dowloaded from some pornsite :D are completely unplayable!!!

I've tried both coreplayer and wmp, same problem... Does this mean the hardware accelerator only works with MP4 stuff???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] muuu:
Well, most videos are running at about 24-30fps(frames per second).

And in combination with, a resolution of 640x480(4:3 format).

The outcome is a playback speed of 70-80%, in AVI(DivX/XviD+mp3) and mp4(mpeg4+AAC).

At 640x480 it drops frames at random.

So what I do is re-encode it at a lower framerate(15/20 fps).

And that gives me a more smooth playback(About 100-115%).

On the otherhand, if the video is in widescreen format(640x360, 16:9 format), you can leave the framerate alone and still get smooth playback.

If you reduce the framerate to 15fps, on a 640x360 video, you get a playback speed of about 175%, and that is overkill.

IMO, reducing the framerate is the best choice, rather then dropping the frames at random.

You drop about the same frames, but the playback seems smoother this way.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] k9tim:
For what it's worth, there are more than a few threads on the forum over at corecodec about performance issues with HTC devices.

I've tried to decipher the responses from CoreCodec staff (betaboy) as to whether or not those of us with Qualcomm MSM72## devices can expect to see a marked performance increase (to where it should be) with the release of version 1.3 .

Unless I have missed a specific posting, all I see is a lot of dancing around.

Discussion of whether or not they want to release 1.3 at all or just wait to release version 2.0.

Telling their customer base how they are working with Qualcomm and instead of just a QTV overlay, full implementation will be included- yet not a bit of information on if this will be in 1.3 or 2.0.

Talk about a host of new wonderful features that will be in 1.3, but turned off because of skinning issues.

All of it has been very non-committal. I think it would be very simple to say:

A) Yes, v1.3 will clean up playback on these newer HTC devices

or

B) No, you will need to wait for v2.0 to see any increase in performance

So as for me, I think I'm just going to stick with the encoding settings Sketchy posted previously and use this newly found wonder version of WMP that was on our devices all along :)

I do know that since they don't offer a trial of CorePlayer Mobile, I will for sure wait to throw down additional cash until I at *least* see a stinky youtube video showing playback goodness that I can't get with WMP.....

:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hardcoil:
I reinstalled core player the other day, and put it on the phone memory rather than on the storage card. That seems to give much better performance in coreplayer. Is this something anyone else have experienced?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mrdummy:
I have also done some examination about playback at WM6.1 with CP and WMP.

After many encoding different media with Super encoder, i found out what is best:

Super setting: Set on MP4 mode, choose MPEG-4 (not h264 AVC) and choose AAC LC for sound. I can play smooth on WMP with 704x400 pixels and 23,976

Bitrate is set on 1008, with Hi-Quality. Sound is set on 48K and 128 kbps.

Yes, WMP does very well with playback. Very sharp pictures!

Now with CP, the same file plays very bad, no smooth playback and sound is shuttered.

Which codec works better for CP? Many codecs are bad in play, no one is 100% possible.

h264 is most poor with 50% result. DIVX around 70%, XVID 80%.

I reach only highest results with XVID codec and MP3 as video / audio. Bitrate must not higher than 1008, and even with 704x400, i cannot reach 100%, at least 80%.

To make 100% possible, i must reduce video size to 480x260 or so, and lowered bitrate to 526 for video. This gives better chance to go above 100%. But you miss many sharpness of the video pictures.... :(

Until now, it's clear the CorePlayer today has very poor playback compared to WMP strong playback. I tried also some cache tweaks, but no good results ~ just 5-10% increase.

Yes, CoreCodec must optimize CP again for WM6.1 latest devices. It needs new driver, because TyTnII is just old driver.

(tested on Xperia X1)

I like CP because wide support of codecs, but it's really time to optimize CP now for new phone generations. Slow playback is a big shame.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] k9tim:
Download Super video encoder at http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

And convert your videos using the settings mentioned by sketchy in this thread. Play them with WMP. Right now that is the best way to see smooth playback. Don't even mess with CorePlayer right now.

Wait until they get a better performing player out.

Hi, I made a video file: container - mp4, codec - MPEG-4, Bitrate - 1536kbps, resolution 640x480. I tried to play this file by WMP and HTC Album player. I used Dia Duit v8 ROM. First, WMP can play it almost smooth, but there are random lags. But, rendering is strange, it is somethink like there is no vertical synchronization. But than I played it in HTC Album, video has few random lags, like WMP, but it was much better, I felt like there was vertical synchronizatin. So, does HTC Album use different way to render video? Than, which one is using QTv?
