[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] sshariff:
Frankly I do not understand this fantasy with the fastest chipset. When we are buying pcs how many of us actually buy a core i9 processor with 32gb ram and the best dedicated graphics? I bet like me most will stick to an i3 or i5 and by stats those are the ones most people buy.

Same goes with phones. I believe in a few years people will realize this and simply go with the mid end processor line up which just like the core i5 is good enough for everything most of the people will need anyway.

1000 plus for a flagship mobile phone every two years is pretty ridiculous in my opinion. The user experience should factor in a lot more than just the specs!
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] WaxysDargle:
no, the processor isn't going to slow down in a few years.

battery is the main killer with aged phones.

don't worry about the processor.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lord_BlackAdder:
I have just bought the Touch Diamond from Telstra in Australia. It didn't included GPS software like TomTom. Does Touch Diamond sold in other countries includes GPS software? Apart from GoogleMap, is there TOMTOM cab available I can download for free?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nushuth:
i live in italy, there i sno GPS software included.

but this is not a real problem...

TOMTOM software bundled with polaris includes only one 3 year old city map at your choice, not italian full country map. you are required to buy it from tomtom site...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wikeroy:
TomTom is free, maps are cheap

Hello;

I bought Diamond here in Norway.

No TomTom, just google maps.

But TomTom is free ( www.tomtom.com )

And map over all Western Europe cost only 39Euro.

Downloading TomTom Home to my PC and then installing it on HTC is semi-automatic.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MJNewton:
Do you have a more-specific link to the app?

Mathew
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TDO:
TomTom is NOT free.

Some providers buy e.g. TomTom7 from the company TomTom and include it in their rom. Like O2 germany. If you buy a phone from them, you will get it for "free".

You cannot buy it, as TomTom is not selling this version to customers.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] davidhozic:
Hello, can anyone else reproduce this bug?

When my phone is charging and it goes to 100% it will still have current flowing thru it(AccuBattery) even tho the charging LED is off and if I ,in that moment, disconnect the phone from the charger and then reconnect it to the charger, the current goes to 0A? The battery voltage at that time is about 4.45V, is it overcharging?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Slim K:
No, it's not. As an Electrical engineer, i can tell you with certainty that there is nothing wrong with the behavior described. The feature wherein a mobile device stops charging and uses only current provided by the charger is called Power Passthrough, Which only a handful of devices can do right now. Example for that is the Asus rog 3.

Regarding the voltage situation, accubattery only refreshes the charging state (status inApp) after you disconnect it due to system limitations. A clue for this limitation you can find in accubattery itself; when you want to measure the battery capacity and it says disconnect the charger first. So no worries you phone is fine :good:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] davidhozic:
Yeah but that's the thing, when the charging led turned off it was still drawing about 1A of current until i reconnected it and it just didn't draw anything, shouldn't it restart drawing if it drew it before disconnection? I mean it's just kinda weird that it started powering the phone directly, instead of charging the battery, only after reconnecting the cable...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] oryan_dunn:
I've got a Nexus 7 that's still stock. It's been in the drawer for a few years, and I pulled it out to make sure I had any important data copied off, in preparation to sell it. However, it is stuck on the Google boot logo. I've tried tapping it as suggested in several videos, but that didn't seem to do anything. I removed the back and re-seated the silver ribbon cable, which also didn't seem to do anything. I was able to enter recovery, and after wiping cache and rebooting, it did get past the google logo, but was stuck on the animated balls. I left it there overnight, but was still on that animation in the morning.

If possible, I'd really like to get it booted without doing a factory reset, just to make sure I don't have any photos or anything on there that hasn't been backed up. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I should note, it was in a case that had a magnetic cover. I've read that over time, those could have caused this issue. I'm leaving it out of the case, in the hopes that maybe it'll clear itself up. I've also read it has something to do with the orientation sensor, which is why tapping it may help. This thing is otherwise in mint condition (and we still have the box), and it's shame it has this issue, as it still seems to fetch $40 or $50 on eBay.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
If it is unlocked then simply use TWRP recovery to access and backup your files through MTP to a PC.

If it is locked then you may have to wait for the next version of Restock which will include an option to unlock without loss of data.

[Huawei Developers] XDARoni:
HMS vs. GMS- Transferring Files with Nearby Service

As a part of the HMS service suite for developers, Huawei offers Nearby Service. This service takes advantage of WiFi, Cellular and Bluetooth connections to provide users with scenario-based data transmission. This is what developers use to allow their users to conveniently interact with people and things nearby. Huawei uses its proprietary nStack technology to enable high-performance communication over a short distance. This allows for fast file transfers, communication, and collaboration.

One of the primary functions of nearby services is to allow the transfer of large files to another phone. This doesn't require any sort of internet connection, as your phone will be able to use WiFi to directly connect to the nearby device. All transfers are made through an https connection, ensuring a secure transfer.

Huawei's comprehensive development guides can help you implement nearby service into your app, so your users can take advantage of local multiplayer gaming. These guides are easy to understand, and will quickly get you headed in the right direction for this service.

If you're looking for inspiration on how nearby service can be used in your app, you should look at Huawei's sample codes. These sample codes will show you different ways in which this service can be used to improve your app.

Huawei's HMS APIs are designed to provide you with a simple development process. You will not have to deal with underlying networking details, and you can just focus on your app's development.

HMS Nearby Services vs. GMS Nearby Connection

When using Huawei's nearby service for file transfer, users are able to achieve up to 50mbps file transfer speed. This is faster than the GMS nearby connect service, which will max out at 40mbps. This faster data transfer speed is made possible by Huawei's proprietary nStack technology.

Faster speeds mean that the HMS solution will be better for creating apps that allow users to transfer large file sizes. Sending movies, music, documents, or other large files will now be as easy as transferring them to a nearby phone. A good example of an app that benefits from nearby service is Zapya. This popular file transfer app uses HMS nearby services to let you send large files to phones that are close by. Using the app, you'll be able to transfer a 3GB file in only 1 minute. You can rely on efficient and secure file transfers.

File transfer speed isn't the only area where HMS is able to out-perform GMS. The node discovery speeds also come into play here. This is where a user will scan for a nearby phone, and wait for results. Nearby service has faster discovery time based on Huawei-developed protocols.

[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] voyager_s:
I have had this device since launch in January 2019. I just wanted to see how everyone is finding it long term really.

Personally I have no complaints. It is so good. In pretty much every aspect. Almost the perfect device I would say. Battery life is still a champ almost 2 years later. Performance is top notch. No slowdowns at all. Ram management and multitasking is very good (as long as you turn off the auto app launch management that is). Screen is awesome. Best LCD I have used as far as I can recall.

Android 10 updated. Design is fantastic. It was the OG pinch hole all screen display I remember, which was the reason I picked it up initially at launch.

I am so surprised how well it has held up. I have tried multiple devices since. Huawei mate 20x and pixel 4A, my old iPhone 7 and galaxy s8. All have only reinforced how good the V20 is. I always go back to it.

I just got the pixel 4A this week and using that back and forth with the v20 now. If I had to get rid of one it would be the pixel. But fortunately I don't have to, so will keep both.

Just wanted to give my thoughts on very long term use really. I have used the v20 every single day bar a week or two over the last 22 months. It is so good.

Such a shame this Huawei / Honor trade ban and how it is affecting Google services on their newer devices. Huawei make some incredible devices. Thankfully the v20 is not affected.
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hey man,

I've got the view20 in march/April of 2019 and it has been amazing. I really enjoy the camera and night mode, which has prevented my from buying any new phone. Also the new features that came with magic UI 3 (swipe bottom left to right for app switching) has made it more current. Agreed the punch hole means the phone still looks on top of trend. Unfortunately I don't enjoy the size and weight of the phone as I prefer smaller phones and the 12 mini is tempting but I genuinely picked the view 20 for the long lasting LCD screen.

All around great phone!
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] voyager_s:
Yep it is fantastic device. Cannot overstate in anyway how good it is.

I agree about the size, though it does not bother me as much. It is a big as I would probably go for big phones I've realised.

I'm also leaning more towards smaller devices nowadays. Funny you mention the 12 mini. I've also been looking at it but not too sure on the battery life. Seems a small cell which is the norm for apple. Besides I am enjoying the Pixel 4A quite a bit at the moment. It is a lot of fun using both a small and big phone. You really see the differences and appreciate both for different reasons. Especially when both perform extremely well in almost all areas.
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] voyager_s:
It's the end of an era.... Well maybe not quite as dramatic! I've made the very hard decision to let my V20 go. Decided to go full on with the smaller form factor going forward. iPhone 12 mini and pixel 4a! I can only hope they stand the test of time somewhere close to the v20. They both have a tough act to follow for sure. This had been easily the best all around smartphone I've ever used. Cannot fault it at all. It's just my compulsive need to change smartphones which has lead me to move on. If anyone is considering a v20 going forward, take it from someone who has used the life out of this thing for almost two years, it is a champ! In every department. Stands the test of time unlike any other phone I've used before. Battery and performance still incredible now.
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Malcolm66:
Bought April 2019, in the Middle East. And used in the UK and globally (in the old days when we had flying machines)

To date, I cannot fault the hardware. The 8 GB Ram and 256 storage are more than enough for my needs. Battery lasts for up to 2+day, or 36 hours when I've done an all night shift. Continues to perform well well and fantastic feature set like app twinning and privatr6area. No performance issues and updates are timely

I have reviewed several alternatives primarily keeping an eye on the Samsung Note line. I cannot see any reason to justify the cost of the moving to £1000+ phone ant see any difference.

The critical factor will be suport for Google Apps. If/ when that is lost, then time to move on compatability is critical.

There are rumours Huawei will spin of Honer, which would be great, but not sure the timescales will be favorable to the survival of my phone.

Annoying, as the primary reason for.th Huawei sanctions are commercial, (give US companies a lead. In 5g). But. The knock oon might be a 3rd global player in the mobile OS space. That won't be good for Google, security or quality of apps available to all parties.

[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] voyager_s:
Good to see you guys still enjoying this fantastic device. I'm back again with another Huawei...lol. got the P30. Very similar to the v20 I think. Main difference is just the display is oled. I do really like Huawei / Honor devices. I heard Honor is being sold off. Don't know if that's a good thing or not yet. But for sure the V20 is the business.
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fonesrgood:
Hey what happened with the 12 mini? I've been thinking of getting bit but worried about battery life. The honor is just too big for me but does everything right, so reluctant to change
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] voyager_s:
I still have the 12 mini. It is my main device. Battery for me is very very good. No exaggeration. I don't play any graphically intense games though so bear that in mind.

I easily make it through the day and then some. Over 4 hours screen on time comfortably. I don't know how they are doing it with a 2200 cell really. I also turn off 5G. So only 4G in use. I don't know again how much of a difference that makes. But as long as you are not a big gamer into graphically intense games, I think you will be very happy and pleasantly surprised with the mini's battery.

I also been using the mate 30 as secondary device. Again, very very nice. :)

Do I miss the V20? In all honesty sometimes yes. It is such a great phone. Just about the only thing I would have added would have been an IP rating perhaps. And that's just nitpicking... Everything else fantastic. But wanted a smaller one handed device for now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ukdj78:
OK I'm having a weird problem... perhaps somebody could test it out on theirs to see if it's a problem with the rom or something I've installed/tweaked that is causing it.

For my "new text message" notification settings normally have all 4 options ticked ie a sound played, a message on screen, the light flashing (which I set to no limit) and vibrate.

However on my Raphael when I set it like this all I'm getting is the light flashing and the message on the screen - no sound or vibration :( I've been playing with it a bit and I've noticed that if I clear the tick for flash light and just have the other 3 options ticked I get the sound and vibration back! Is this the same for everyone else?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ukdj78:
60 views to this thread and nobody's even tried it yet... come on guys! PLEASE!!! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Lazy Slug:
Tested

Just set the notifications like yours and sent a message from another phone.

Worked as expected. Action button is doing it's spinning light thing. It vibrated and play the selected tune. But there was no specific on screen message (I haven't used the tweak to wake up on new message.) although it was indicated by a number appeared next to the text message icon.

Hope that helps
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sub69:
I always tick all of those boxes for "New E-Mail", "New MMS" and "New Text Message".

All three have been beeping, vibrating, and flashing as expected. Not 100% sure about the on-screen message, but I think that's ok too.

Not sure what to suggest to get it working properly on your device. On the "Sounds" tab of "Sounds & Notifications" do you have "Events" ticked? No idea if that makes a difference, but I ticked that out of habit...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ukdj78:
Hmm.... I do have the events thing ticked too so It's not that. I just tried with no message on screen and it still didn't work properly. It's definitely something to do with the flashing light setting that is causing the sound and vibration to fail.

I'll hard reset later, set it up back how it is now and test the messaging each step of the way to see if I can find out what's causing it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ukdj78:
OK I've done the hard reset and found the culprit. It's caused by installing the cab file for 1-calc lite! Shame cos I really like that calculator and it does look nice on the Raphael's screen :(

Uninstalling 1-calc doesn't fix it either. Gonna have to hard reset it AGAIN now lol

Oh by the way thanks Lazy Slug and Sub69 for testing yours and reporting back to me :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ukdj78:
Hmm looks like I was wrong, I have done a hard reset not installed 1-calc at all this time and have started having the same problem again. 1-calc might not be the cause of it after all (I hope so cos I like it) or (god forbid) there might be something else as well as 1-calc that causes it.

Looks like I need to do more testing... :rolleyes:

(PM me if you want some test messages sent to you. I never use my monthy allowance!)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ukdj78:
lol I wouldn't exactly call myself a guru of video recording, I hardly ever do it in fact, I just know my stuff about it :)

For what it's worth:

- I have the K-Lite codec pack installed on my PC which I've found resolved practically all PC video playback issues and comes with some pretty nifty tools like that G-Spot program I mentioned in the other thread. (which you've obviously read ;)) You can get that here

- I've got Pinnacle Studio 10 platinum edition (commercial software which I paid for) for editing and encoding my home movies off my dv camcorder.

- I use a lot of the free software from this page for quick video conversions, very good software considering they're freebies

- I also have an old Archos AV400 Pocket Video recorder with 80gb Hard drive, which can encode mp4 at 640x480 30fps from any video input source in realtime :D I Haven't used it for ages but I think I might dig it out again now! This device is about 4-5 years old now, there are probably much better ones about now... check out www.archos.com!

Oh and don't worry about sending me messages, I can send them to myself (I bet you didn't know you could do that!) and I'm on Solo 20 with unlimited texts.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Lazy Slug:
Perfect info. Seen a few people on the train with the Archos - seems a pretty good player.

I'll give K-Lite a go today. Many Thanks

Wasn't sure that you knew that either :)

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ukdj78:
Right back to the topic, I hadn't really had any time to do more work on this until now. However, I've just done another hard reset and not tweaked anything or installed anything and I still had the problem.

I have finally figured out what's causing it though, and I'm 100% sure I'm right this time!;)

I normally use the Nokia SMS sound which comes with the Hermes' Faria-R32/Dr Puttingham rom. This is a midi file. If I select any other file type as the sound for my text messages they play fine with light, vibration and on-screen message too. So I tried changing it to "T-Mobile 1" (also a midi file from the Stock WM6 Vario II rom) and all I got was the light and on-screen message again.

So I've reached the conclusion that if you have a midi sequence selected as your text message alert, the sound and vibration will only occur if you don't choose to have the light flashing... strange but true! This is probably also the case for any other event type as well as text messages.

Midi files work fine on my Hermes though. I wonder if the Diamond has the same problem and it just hasn't been discovered yet, after all I can't imagine many people would choose a midi file as their alert... I'm just weird :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ukdj78:
Just found out it's the same for .aac files, they don't work properly either! .wav and .wma files appear to be the only ones that work perfectly.

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] :
The inbuilt screen recorder on my Mi 10 Ultra fails to capture audio when attempting to record WhatsApp video calls.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra MIUI 12.0.13 stable, Chinese ROM.

The sound input options for the screen recorder settings allow either mic input or system input- neither of these seems to work for recording the audio during a WhatsApp video call.

Only the video part is recorded without any audio- neither my speech is recorded nor the other person's speech is recorded.

The screen recorder works well otherwise when recording audio- when for example a YouTube video is playing on screen it will record the video along with the system audio.

I have debloated the Mi 10 Ultra and uninstalled several bloatware apps of which I'm including a screenshot herewith. (Note: the screenshot shows the apps that are UNINSTALLED from my phone).

Extensive Google searches have revealed that this issue of screen recorder apps being unable to record the audio during video calls is possibly caused by a conflict for audio input to the recorder app vs the active video calling app (WhatsApp), BUT:

I have another Mi 10 Pro running MIUI 12.0.6 (Chinese ROM) and that phone records WhatsApp video calls with audio.

I bought the Mi 10 Ultra since the Mi 10 Pro record WhatsApp calls without any problem, so it's a bit frustrating to not be able to record WhatsApp video calls now on this phone which is supposed to be better than the Mi10 Pro.

I was trying posting herewith the system logs of the phones but the message goes over the word limit.

I was trying to post the screenshots as well, but the Insert Image button/option above this message window doesn't let me upload images from my computer and instead asks for a http: URL for the image (this is my first post in this forum- please bear with me!)

If there is any other information I should/can provide with this thread/question/post, please let me know.

Any thoughts ideas or solutions are much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.
