Long may it last! Future development rumor is what I was talking about
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] skygear:
ah, yeah. I read the articles as well..

I'm currently using one of the HyperJuice 100W for my devices https://www.kickstarter.com/project...t-100w-gan-charger/posts/2919125?ref=activity

and this one on order https://www.kickstarter.com/project...t-100w-gan-charger/posts/2909520?ref=activity
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Snowleopard1900:
That HyperJuice looks cool, but from the comments, it looks like people are having random issues with the charger and actually getting the charger..... I have been happy with Anker chargers anyway. I already have their newer PD car charger like 38 or 42 watts or what ever it is. I have not upgraded my wall chargers from Anker yet..... I am waiting for a 6 port USB C PD charger, but I doubt that will come out for a while because it would need to be over 100 watts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] force70:
samsung really watered down the note this year 45w charging is just one of the compromises on this device unfortunately.

not that there was a huge difference in 25 and 45 w charging times but thats not the point. The Note is supposed to be the workhorse the flagship so they should not be removing features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] rosedog:
I'm wondering is that a software flip they can make to enable it. I bought one for our two N10+ and when I need a lot of charge in a pinch, it delivers. I have it in the kitchen as central location. Forgot to charge it at night, getting ready in the morning, running down to 5%...set it for 15-20 minutes and we're good.

I don't know what crawled up Samsungs back side but it seems like we're being prepped for loss of features as a bonus for premium prices.

Headphone jack

FM Antenna

45watt charging

smaller storage

smaller battery

wired earphones

and soon to be charging brick.

Personally I'd like them to ditch the curved edges.

Just remember. When you're dealing with happy people, they tend not to post about it. When you're dealing with upset people, they tend to scream from the rooftops in our heard the loudest. Same with posting online...

I've had mine for a while now, and no issues at all with the hyperjuice. some of the edges were little sharper than I liked, I simply sanded them down and no issues.

The only real complaint I had was, it didn't support the full Gambit of USB PD profiles. So no PPS like Samsung was touting. Now that other one by CIO does support PPS and all the other standards. That one is really exciting to me

Has to have the proper chipset #1

And also has to have compatible battery chemistry. The thicker charging leads on the boards, thermal sensors. Etc. Could be there. Guess we will find out soon enough with teardowns.

[Hardware Hacking General] DinIslamJoy:
Having troubles with the stability of your wifi router?

Your phone disconnects from your router for no reason or sometimes just doesn't connect ? Or the router chasis simply overheats and you face speed issues?

you can supercharge your cheap wifi router and increease the stability and performance of it by this trick

This 1.5/2$ hardware modification done to your router will not only make it more stable than ever,it will also make the lifespan of your router increased.

Why this modification works? Our Wifi router is like a mini computer too,it has cpu and ram like computers.So by running it continuously ,the CPU gets overheated due to the lack of Airflow and cooling solution since the manufacturers don't wanna spend much.

Things you will need :

1.Raspberry Pi Aluminum heatsinks

2.5V DC small Cooling Fan

3.An extra 5V adapter (or usb port )

You need find the CPU and RAM chip of the router motherboard first,google will be for your help.

Then put the small heatsinks on top of those chips.After you have done that,find a way to mount the fan,you can use hotglue but I used strings here

After you've done it,connect the positive terminal of fan to positive terminal of another adapter and negative terminal to negative terminal of adapter.

Then it's done.

You will be greated with much stable router.

The procedure is well demonstrated in the video

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lupiniii:
I currently have the following cellular plan with Verizon.:

NATIONWIDE EMAIL & MSG 450 MINS UNL PDA + N&W + IN + MSG $99.99

Monthly access charge: $99.99

Monthly allowance minutes: 450 general

Per minute rate after allowance: $0.45 peak , $0.45 off-peak​

I just found out Sprint has the following cellular plan:

Simply Everything $99.99

Monthly access charge: $99.99

Monthly allowance minutes: Unlimited

Unlimited mobile internet and messaging: Web surfing, email, GPS Navi, txt, BIS, pictures, video, Sprint Music and Sprint TV
​

I called Verizon and they offered me a more expensive $130 plan. They really didn't care about Sprint's pricing and pretty much told me to bite it and offered to transfer me to their cancellations department. I can't see why I should stay with Verizon when Sprint has hands down a better deal.

So I am asking you out there whether you're a Sprint or Verizon customer to sound off. What do you think -stay or go? What are your experiences with either or both companies?

Pros: I never have to worry about going over my minutes (which has happened many times). One monthly fee for the whole enchilada.

Cons: $145 Cancellation Fee & $299.99 Total One-Time Charge (including $100.00 mail-in rebate)

Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Calibob2001:
I have been down that road a couple times. First let me say that I am a Verizon customer with the XV6800, Ive got some $79 plan and $50 for internet and even more for insurance and text messaging- plus another 20 a month for a family deal...

Most recently, I shopped around because, after having my 6800 for 1 month, the sliding hinge failed and spread open. I took it into the store and they said that it looked as though I had scratched the casing- which meant that I damaged the unit and thus the hinge broke because of it. I knew this wasn't the case but they didn't care. They offered to have me cancel my service, I talked to the cancellation department and I reminded them that I pay over 2000 a year just in service, buy my phones and accessories from them, and have brought them over 15 people to Verizon from other companies because I thought they were the better company with the best customer service- Cancellations didn't care. The lady even asked if I was going to keep the same number because if I was- then I didn't have to cancel through her. Whatever phone provider I did sign up through would cancel it for me!!! I couldn't believe they had the audacity. Ive been with them for 11 years and they could care less...

I ended up paying the $50 to have asuran send me another phone- I told them I lost it so I could keep the old phone for parts if I need it...

The reason I didn't switch? Well, it didn't make sense... I would still have to spring for a phone, startup fees, cancellation fees from my current contract through verizon, All my friends/family would stay verizon and I would be something else, plus- mainly what it came down to is that their are no good phone providers out there... just less evil ones. In my case- Verizon just happens to be the less evil one. All depends what you want...

Verizon does have the best network across the nation, usually their customer service is helpful, phones are usually outdated when they do finally arrive- but I think it's because they wait for the technology to be tested and true before they carry it. Annoying, but at least your almost always going to get a freakin rock solid phone....

I feel better by pimping the crap out of my phone and using Internet Sharing as much as I can. I even used my cell to connect to the internet for Halo - XBox to laptop and laptop to PDA to verizon data network...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deeznuts2:
You may want to first find out whether or not some of those Sprint features are available in your area. For example, Verizon has their own tv service but its not available everywhere.

Plus, do you need certain phones to use some of their features? Is switching to access those features going to cost you more due to the need to purchase a new phone?

Third, do you really need those features? Who cares about Spring music and Sprint TV? Do get sucked into the marketing of their services unless you feel like you truly are going to need it.

As for the cancellation fee - the courts have already ruled that Sprint's cancellation fees are illegal - you may be able to convince Verizon of the same if you get a naive cancellation CS person. Maybe be persuasive enough for them to waive it. (though I wouldnt count on it). You could try to hand in there long enough for the cancellation thing to make its way to the other carriers and then switch.

Also, when is your contract up?

If its the minutes that are the main thing, just get a new plan with Verizon, especially if most of your friends, family, colleagues, etc have Verizon - talking to them is free!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jmquinn:
Everything Plus

You might also want to look into Sprint Everything Plus Referral program. It replaced sprint's SERO plan, and one of Sprint's execs has his info on his blog http://mcguireslaw.com/ (on the right).

From the Sprint's Everything Plus Refferal website:

This plan includes

* Unlimited data and messages: Web surfing, email, GPS Navigation, Sprint Music, Sprint TV®, BlackBerry® Internet Services (BIS), text, pictures, video

* Nationwide long distance and no roaming charges.

* Unlimited mobile to mobile, night calling starting at 7 p.m. and weekends.

for $79.99, you get 1000 anytime minutes. ($59.99 for 500)

I'm on the now gone SERO plan, and made the switch from Verizon. Verizon just couldn't compete with the price.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nitro66215:
I agree that sprint has the best prices and some of the better phones. My problem is the service. Most everybody I know cries about how Sprint's service sucks. In areas that I get service, they do not. I would talk to as many people that live in your calling area that have both services and compare before just going for price. I would rather pay a little more and be able to make calls whenever and wherever I want.

My $0.02 worth. :D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Don't mean to bolster the debate here...but can I ask why you posted this in Titan Upgrading?

The xda forums are designed with sub forums for a reason. This really belongs in the Titan forum.

My opinion is, find out who has better service where you are, and take a look at the carriers of the people you talk to most. Stick with the carrier that serves these purposes. That's the only reason I'm still with Verizon.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deeznuts2:
x2

While spring and verizon share many towers, sprint's coverage is a little lax compared to Verizon's.

There is a reason why nobody has a valid lawsuit against Verizon for claiming "Most Reliable Network"...

My fiance's family had sprint for the longest time and only recently switched to Verizon a few months ago due to poor service.

Whats the benefit to paying less when you cant use it as often?

(and no, I'm not a Verizon fanboy - just a CDMA fanboy :) Whatever you decide, just stay away from t-mobile and cingular)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] yerp:
lol, yea and that reason has nothing to do with the fact that verizons network is any better....it has to do with how vague and subjective the claim is....if their motto was "Never have a Dropped Call Again on VZW", they would get sued to oblivion.....have you ever seen the show "The Best Damn Sports Show."?.....is it the best damn sports show?....hell no!....why don't you try to sue them.....lol....

in reality, it depends on where u are....i have been a sprint customer for 7 years and in my case, all over New Jersey/NYC/Philly, in the last 2 years i have had 0 dropped calls due to my sprint service. i cannot say the same for my friends with verizon, who also pay at least twice what i do monthly.....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nitro66215:
Exactly. Sprint may be perfect in some areas, but Verizon rules in my area. :D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Cycomachead:
Go for the better service overall. Would sprint activate you Vzw 6800? If not there's some additional up front cost.

Also depending upon you location you may have EVDO rev. A speeds. It wouldn't make a difference if you use DCD's (or No2Chem's) ROMs but you're still using the stock. If you stick with stock on sprint you'll have GPS and EVDO rev. A
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geebox:
Sprint has better prices. Thats about it. Also note that this phones picture mail (mms) feature is blocked by sprint.

I am not a fan of Verizion and I have plenty of issues with Verizion, but they have better service, and better coverage. That ends up being the bottom line for me.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kdj67f:
I have been with verizon for about 10 years. Before they had the name verizon in my area. I pay 50% more than a similar SPRINT plan.

For me it boils down to having coverage in the remote areas around where I live and roaming in alaska. I even get data roaming in alaska, no charge. Sprint phones just quit working as soon as you get out of anchorage. Verizons roams with ACS and service fades, as there are no cell towers. :)

Verizon works better where I go and I pay for it.

Plus no MMS on sprint (mogul) would kill me.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BK111968:
I'm not a Verizon fanboy either- hate the phone selection and how long it takes to get new ones but I have way better coverage and have never had an issue getting my problems solved the first time out.

1) There was a recent article on MSN that was titled "Hate Sprint". It mentioned how Verizon is at a 72 rating while Sprint is rated at 56 in consumer satisfaction. The CEO of Sprint was quoted as saying "Verizon and AT&T are eating our lunch". The main problem according to the article is that Sprint lets everyone sign up and people can't pay thier bills when times are hard, poor customer service etc.

2) Sprint is now leasing all thier towers - meaning they sold thier towers to someone else in order to raise capital since they are in financial hot water. How can they build a better network when they don't even own thier own towers?

3) A friend of mine was with Verizon a long time ago and thought it was too expensive, he switched to Sprint and hated the service. He then switched to Nextel only to wind up with Sprint after thier merger and over the course of a couple of years his service has dropped considerably. He used to drop 2 calls in certain areas on his way home from work and it increased to 5 dropped calls over the last couple of months. He's now back with Verizon and much more happy.

Seriously, it boils down to how is the service in the areas where you normally travel and how often you need to talk to a customer service rep.

Good luck in your choice.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lupiniii:
Because this could be considered an upgrade in service... :D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lupiniii:
Hahaha, been there, done that. I agree!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lupiniii:
Thank you everyone! I appreciate the feed back and will ask around my neighborhood to see what they think and what their experiences have been like. For some reason none of my carriers ever work in my house, yet everybody else's do... :confused:

It would seem the overall consensus here is that Sprint is cheaper (in price), but Verizon has better service (both customer and coverage).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indagroove:
I have a grandfathered SERO account on Sprint, and I mainly switched from Verizon for the price. Sprint was about half as much as an equal Verizon plan.

In my area, the Sprint coverage is good. I also have an ATT phone for work which kinda sucks at home for me.

If I am in an area where Sprint signal is low, I just force the phone to Roam, and then I'm on Verizon's network (free roaming). Bam!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Hypeo:
I was going to mention that too, that sprint has FREE roaming!!! so even if you are not on a "sprint tower" you can still make calls, so don't worry about the coverage!! if you go on sprint network, it will show you the roaming areas that are covered and its covered under your plan. The roaming area resembles allot like VZN... hhhmmmm!!!

So go for the better phones better price. And believe me, their customer service has done a 180 degree turn from where they were before. its actually pleasant to talk to them and they help you out!!!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zenoran:
I have thought about this rather heavily... here are some of the pro's and cons I came up with which generally coincide with what I've read in this thread... these are related to me going from Verizon (currently have) to Sprint

Pro (for sprint):

More frequent updates for PDA's (irrelevant i guess if u flash custom)

cheaper plans (money is money... high motivation)

quicker to get new models of phones

Instant lock GPS

Con (against sprint):

Service sucks compared to Verizon.. (cheaper is only better when u can use it)

No MMS

Worse customer service (only what I heard)

Honestly, what it comes down to is service... I can't speak from experience, but everyone in central ohio (where I live) who has had Sprint say they can be driving on the outerbelt and lose a call... that's just ridiculous for a larger city such as this to not have proper coverage in a radius around the city... cheaper is always a motivating factor but seriously, what's the point of paying less if you're going to be frustrated with loss of signal? that's my take... however, when/if sprint comes out with touch/pro before verizon i might be singing a different tune.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] onikett:
Hello, I bought the phone yesterday (Indian global rom) and after an auto-update for MIUI 12 (12.0.2.0 QFKINXM), installed geekbench 5 and antutu (8.4.4) to try them out. I got substantially lower score in antutu (compared to reviews, YouTube videos) and breakdown showed it's the CPU causing the low score. Upon further benchmarking with Geekbench 5, geekbench 4 and 3dmark it was evident I was getting low score across all the benchmarks where CPU was involved and fantastic score in gpu-only tests (like multiple scenarios in gfxbench).

Then I installed Aida64 and "CPU Monitor" app to further investigate the issue and find possible correlation with temperature etc. The temperature seemed to hover around 55/65 deg while stress testing and 35/40 deg when idle.

I then checked the CPU clockspeed with CPU Monitor app in split screen mode while running Geekbench. I noticed the fastest Kryo gold 485 core (with 2.84 GHz speed never reached the peak). I then ran the Antutu 15-min stress test, and also "CPU Throttle Test" app and "CPU Load Generator" app while keeping the "CPU Monitor" app open in split-screen and noticed the same thing, the most powerful core never reached its peak and mostly runs at idle clock speed of ~800 MHz even when benchmarking. Further, even when that core boosts, it seems capped at 2.4 GHz which is thehe maximum clockspeed of other 3 Kryo gold 485 cores. I know 2.84 GHz isn't supposed to be a sustained speed but the fact that it never reached it and gets capped at the same speed as the other 3 cores implies something is wrong here.

Also I don't really know if the poor score is solely caused by the poor performance of that 2.84 GHz core but I do know from observation that the core isn't running as intended as I explained above.

Now if it's a software issue then i wouldn't worry much as it'll possibly get fixed in next updates or by installing custom rom. But I'm worried if the issue is related to hardware itself (problematic CPU core or heatsink issue).

So I'm writing to know if any of you guys have had such issue or what do u think it is caused from or possible fix. Also

Any constructive suggestion will be highly welcome.

Geekbench 5 CPU score: single core ~600, multi-core ~2200 to 2300

Antutu 8 CPU score: ~90k (sometimes much less)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Omarrrc1:
I have an mi 9t pro with the global miui 12.0.1 and it's similar to what you're saying, so it's not a hardware issue, it's the kernel, it seems that Xiaomi it's very conservative about the battery and throttles the prime core to 2.4ghz max

The only thing that have worked for me was to change the kernel to another one, I'm trying Yuki kernel and it's very good, also there's a new kernel, quantic, and it's very good too, the battery doesn't seems to take a big hit, it's fine for me, like the original kernel, sorry if my english it's not perfect, I'm from Mexico
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] onikett:
Hello, thanks for your reply and your English is awesome.

Now regarding the kernel change, all the reviewers and YouTubers benchmarked it in stock and most of them didn't face such problem. Their score seems reasonably similar to each other.

Also do u remember if your CPU benchmark score was substantially lower than standard before changing kernel?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] hoopsnake:
View attachment 507762560c is where CPU starts to throttle, prime core never runs at max freq for more than 3-4 mins regardless of temperature to save battery and wear from the heat it's producing on stock kernel.

Also never forget how much a impact ambient temps play a part in phone performance, I've put my phone in the freezer for 5-10 mins and saw a 500 multi core score although that was on a warm 40c Aus summer day lol

As others have suggested try custom rom if you really need max performance although it is completely unnecessary and a waste of time pursuing max performance, take it from someone who's been there.

The result after a month of trying every combination of roms and kernels lol
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] onikett:
Thanks for your reply. However my issue is it never reached 2.84 GHz and is artificially capped at 2.4 ghz. I'm not talking about the core being constant at 2.84 GHz.

Also I'm not necessarily looking for absolute max performance as I'm not a gamer but just wanna investigate the issue to make sure it's not hardware issue.

Btw if you've come back to stock rom/kernel, can you pls test and mention the geekbench 5, antutu 8, 3dmark scores for K20 pro?
