[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] merkman:
Got the device yesterday, and took it out and set it up today. The T-Mobile branding is a little annoying, but obviously only flashes when the device is booting up. I went ahead and setup my Google account, setup just the apps I wanted from scratch, ran the OS update to the latest official OS, and it's works great.

As I suspected, with 8GB of RAM, it's hella fast, has loads of storage space, and plays videos from my Synology NAS via VLC faster than any other device I own. I'm REALLY happy with the device, and may use it for other things around the house, but it's working great as another option to control my Sonos wireless speakers. Cheers!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ReDxKinG:
Need help deciding between HTC 8925(At&t Tilt/Kaiser) vs HTC Herald (Tmobile Wing)

So im looking to upgrade my phone soon. I currently use a Sidekick ID (Yes yes I know). Been a long time reader of the XDA forums so im looking for some expert advice from well, you guys(the experts). From my understanding the Tilt and Wing are pretty much the exact same phone with different carriers with the exception that the 8925(tilt) has double the ram speed and a faster cpu than the Herald(wing) as well as gps. Anyway the OBVIOUS choice is (Or at least I thought it was) the 8925(tilt). I proceeded to do some more research on the phone and soon discovered the Video Driver\No Hardware accelaration problem on those phones which was a huge turn off for me once I found out about it. As far as the Herald(wing) goes, it is obviously alot slower than the 8925(tilt) due to the slow cpu ,and freeing up memory is something that seems to be more of a tedious task that you have to do every so often. A friend of mine owns a Herald(wing) and he uses the OpenTouch Rom by Ttrans1 which is awesome and is definitely better/speedier than the stock rom. Anyway it seems to me that no matter which phone I get, I am taking a loss in some form or another. So I am here to ask you guys, would I be better off with a slow phone WITH proper video hardware acceleration (Herald/Wing) or a much faster Phone WITHOUT proper video hardware acceleration (Tilt/8925). Any advice,comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
So really you shouldn't care about a no video driver issue. Sounds like your using Tmobile and the tilt can't use the tmobile 3g. So thats what I would think about. Get the android G1 and be the coolest hippest guy on the block.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ReDxKinG:
Well that's a good idea but the problem is that I need to decide within the next week as I need this phone for work as they(the tilt and wing) have exchange mail server compability which I need. I will most definitely get the G1 or HD later on down the line but for NOW I need to decide between the wing and the tilt. Also, 3g is not a factor for me as I don't really care for it being that Edge serves my needs just fine for now and if I were to go the tilt route it would obviously be an unlocked phone being that I wil lbe using tmobile for it. So with that being said which would you recommend out of the two?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
This is always my deciding factor when I think about cheating on my beloved Tilt. .

GPS for the win!!

That and it tilts, that is way cool and useful. Just tilt it up and wait for your next txt or email. You don't have to move sometimes.

The chicks love it when you tilt it, they say "oh let me see that, whats your name?"

NICE
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ReDxKinG:
LOL, yea the gps Definitely has me "Tilting" more towards the tilt. But quick question tho since you own a tilt yourself, is the Video driver/no video hardware acceleration problem that bad? Does it affect everyday use? Also does it affect any software that uses the GPS? Last but not least, are there any custom roms that at least improve the no video driver problem? Sorry for all the questions but I just want to be sure that I won't regret getting the tilt over the wing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ReDxKinG:
Anyone else here have experience with the tilt?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ewingr:
I don't find the video driver thing that much of a problem. Main thing I'd care about is very occasionally watching a move. I use DVD conversion software (from SPB) to convert them to files good for the phone, and it seems find for me.

Re: ROMS, I've tried others, which ultimately became 'unsupported' by the creator, and I'm back on the stock AT&T current rom, and it performs fine enough for me. Some features form teh custom roms I liked not here, but I'm not bothering to upgrade any more. I don't know about for video.

Using it for capturing video, or any other phone, is not of much value in my opinion.

The GPS I use (TomTom) works good. (Don't turn on a bunch of POIs, or it will get unusable). I purchased this phone specifically so I could have GPS, PDA, and phone all in one device. I love the GPS when I travel.

If you get one, be very careful with the USB port (plugging/unplugging). I've had to replace it twice due to the port going bad (I'm thinking likely, at least in one case, less than 'careful handling' caused it). But it is fragile, it seems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lownox:
The only issue I have with the video driver/camera seems to be that unless you are outside in a bright light situation... the unit can't effectively take a video. I wish this wasn't so... but otherwise I love the phone.

Of course, it was a lot worse when it was "just" and att tilt. I flashed dutty's diamond rom, installed scientific calculator, chess... etc. My geek factor has gone way up! I love this phone... but then again, I have nothing to compare it to.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Xenn:
Hahahaha, couldn't say it any much better :D:D:D

At first, i was really intimidated when i got my tilt. I didn't know much about coding, flashing, hacking, slashing, whatever you call it.

After a whole week of reading on this board i'd say the tilt is one of the best thing i ever gotten my hands on.

This phone, to any other ordinary person its just a phone with special features.

But under a person who knows about coding and programming, this phone isn't just a phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vuiskool:
get the tilt, my friend has the wing and its horrible. The video drivers pretty much only affect the Camera. The tilt also has GPS and tilt screen.

Also, tzones 5.99 internet gets me everything at fast speeds. Gmail, MMS, Internet.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hympe:
Hello,

I've bought my Mi 11 Ultra from China and loving it. I've then rooted it and installed the EU fastboot version.

However, I don't like having to worry about Magisk and all the security issues that this process might entail therefore I'd like to ask a very simple question:

is there a way to turn a Chinese version into an official European version?

So basically I would like to just flash it with a EU official fw and then lock the root again so that there would be no difference between a phone bought here. In my simple mind, the only difference between the China version and the EU version is just the firmware, is that correct?

I've read it's dangerous to flash and lock the root again though? Is that true?

Thanks a lot
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] pl1992aw:
No.

No.

Yes. Lock bootloader in the way you thought is dangerous.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hympe:
Ah right, thanks. May I ask why that's not possible? Just out of curiosity. What's the difference between a phone bought here and a phone bought in China and flashed EU? Is it the kernel?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] pl1992aw:
Designed intentionally.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Allexsander:
You can install the official ROM from EEA (Europe) or Global and use your device normally and you will have no problem and everything will work. You just cannot lock the bootloader again on these ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hympe:
yes the problem is that you get security issues with most banking apps so you have to play around with Magisk. And I don't really need the bootloader to be unlocked cause i don't want custom ROMs, but apparently there isn't a solution
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
The EU is approved and based on the Chinese version but has the best of all the variants and works on all approved banking apps. Some people say it doesn't but have never tried.

I use the EU and have done for a few phones. I use Gpay, Lloyds Bank and most secure of all, Sky go. You can't even hide sky go using any Magisk hide app, yet it works fine with the EU. Someone said, BDO bank doesn't work, yes it does, just delete the empty twrp folder.

See screenshots of both security and DRM levels on this EU ROM phone. The boot loader stays visually unlocked but it works as if it is locked.

If you have any questions, please message me, I'll tell you straight if you are still worried.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Allexsander:
The unlocked bootloader doesn't give banks problems (at least here I never had), I had a CC9 Pro (CN), I unlocked the bootloader and put the official global ROM and used it normally, I had no problems with the banks. Understand that unlocking the bootloader and root are completely different things.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
To my knowledge this is not possible!

While the CN version and the international version share many mobile bands they are not similar and it's not possible to change frequency bands. So the hardware will remain CN whichever ROM you flash....

As mentioned in the posts before you can flash different ROMs but only as long as the Bootloader is unlocked....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
All correct, you can only relock the bootloader if you flash the original CN Rom, the one your phone came preinstalled with
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hympe:
Hi Allexsander, the scenario you're mentioning is basically my current setup. I got a chinese version, unlocked the bootloader and installed the official EU rom. All my banking apps and google pay wouldn't work unless i flash Magisk. If you've had a different experience, please let me know
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hympe:
thanks guys, so basically the only option here is to have Magisk. No Magisk, no chance of using a CN version properly in Europe
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
Unfortunately nope, but I don't get what's wrong with using magisk
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
What didn't work? Gpay and banking apps all work on EU ROM. Did you set your wallet to Gpay and HCE? What Bank apps are not working!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hympe:
absolutely nothing to be honest. Just that Magisk has suddenly broken and my google pay isn't working anymore. SafetyNet has started failing
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hympe:
they weren't working as soon as i flashed with EU rom and installed the apps. I had to use Magisk to get them to run properly. Although now google pay no longer works
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
what's broken with magisk if I may?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Allexsander:
Are you using the Official Global ROM (EEA) or Xiaomi.eu? Here I'm using the Global version and everything works, I just unlocked the bootloader and installed the Global version.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hympe:
Well basically this. It was working fine, then had to reinstall everything but still Google pay won't work. All other apps do though
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hympe:
Yes I'm using EU downloaded from the official website. Maybe I should try the global version?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Sitti01:
Hello,

Does sound coming out from front stereo speakers sound balanced? Does top or bottom speaker sound louder than the other?

And does it have powerful DAC for 3.5mm headphone port?

Last Xperia I had was Z5 Premium. It's speakers sounded very unbalanced. I don't remember which side, but one side was noticeably louder than the other, which was very annoying to listen to. The other phone I'm seriously considering is ROG Phone 5. It's got same size of speakers on the both end, so it's speakers are perfectly balanced, and also have powerful Quad DAC for 3.5 mm port. However, it's biggest cons are of course the cameras and screen if you compare with Xperia 1 III. I think I can let go of 3.5mm port, but if speakers don't sound balanced, it'd could be a deal breaker for me.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] elwuero:
I don’t think anyone has the 1M3 yet. But as far as the DAC, I have the 1M2 and some high end in ear earphones from Campfire Audio and some from Sennheiser and I have a couple of expensive DACs that connect via USB C and honestly I get the same high quality sound with my external DACs as when I plug straight in to the 3.5mm port. I have some other earphones and headphones with a 4.4mm balanced cable so I use an external DAC for those, but mainly just plug in to my Xperia. I expect the same or better DAC in the new phone.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] AeroSatan:
Are they using the S Master DAC or are they not disclosing what the DAC is?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Andrew Lin:
The DAC is absolutely top notch. I have the fiio q5s and xduoo 05 bal. I think it's just as good as the xduoo and better than the fiio. The sound is tuned to be very smooth. Smoother than the two said DACs. So it's a god sent if you have bright sounding headphones too harsh to listen to.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Andrew Lin:
As for the speakers, balanced, good but not impressive
[Sony Xperia 1 III] elwuero:
i can confirm the 1 iii has a terrific built in DAC. i have some (IMO) high end IEMs. I tested my campfire audio atlas and polaris mk2. I also have a couple of ifi audio DACs that I think are well regarded (hip dac and an iDSD). plugging into the 1 iii directly in its headphone jack sounds great. i don’t notice any difference as compared to a separate DAC.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Meakoto:
I have both Rog Phone5 and xperia1 iii, I think Rog Phone5 speaker effect is much better than xperia1 iii, as for the use of 3.5mm playback, Rog Phone5 performance is very bad, xperia 1iii seems to have a built-in amplifier but the decoding is still using the processor built-in dac, xperia 1iii has Sony's tuning so good listening experience

I don't know whether to [complain bitterly; original word choice asterisked out] about Google or ArsTechnica: Google will "allow" a developer to retain a copy of the private key that the developer uploaded to Google?

Is there really no hope that developers will tell Google to pound sand?
[General Topics] Ultramanoid:
Ars also keeps track of projects Google kills and mocks them for it aaaall the time, to be fair.

No one prevents developers from making single APKs at present, but maintaining two versions, one for Play, one outside, is already giving them more work.

For some it may be worth it. For others, they're probably going to stick to the "rules" and give it all up.

Google might eventually just prevent Android from using "old" APK formats. But that'd be years away at any rate. Thank Android's glacial update pace. ( Compared to other OSes, such a big chunk of users of Android is on older versions, that it's not realistic to impose drastic changes such as this. )

Then again, Google changes its mind about things all the time. We'll see how this plays out. Horrible pun intended. I don't think any developer can take Google seriously about anything at this point.

( Personally I just use XDA, GitHub and F-Droid. No Play, no Google services, applications, or anything. And have for years now. Hope it doesn't affect us Google-free-freaks too much. )
[General Topics] J.Michael:
My idea of telling Google to pound sand is to refuse to deal with this app bundle crap. In an ideal world, Google would be left with no apps worth having.

No, I'm not holding my breath.
[General Topics] Ultramanoid:
I wish the Android Open Source Project had real teeth. I think that would solve all issues.

And then Google, or Samsung, or any other company, same as they do with Linux, could build whatever services they wish on top and profit, kill, steal, whatever it is they do. But users could have a choice not to be used themselves -- or be, if they don't care, and developers as well not to be treated as they are today. I mean, Play takes a 30% cut from your profit, tells you what you can do and how, and now your signing keys, too, please ? What the hell.

Unfortunately other than Lineage and their builds, nowadays, there is no other option when it comes to a functional Android other than Google's version of it.

AOSP is barely a skeleton. Google has been slowly killing it, removing more and more from it, or rather, moving functionality to their own services. Location for instance was long ago part of AOSP, and then they moved it to their proprietary bits. Same with everything else.

Why Google Play's APK replacement is scaring some security experts

Google Play will soon force developers to upload App Bundles instead of APKs, raising uncomfortable security questions about the requirement.

Hi Guys,

You may have seen me complaining about the op6 here before, but now it has become a paperweight.

It all starts when no computer I use recognizes the OP6 (USB device not recognized) anymore, this happened after I asked for technical assistance to change my usb input from him that was having problems. But so far so good, because I'm not much of a copy data from my cell phone to my computer via USB.

Then came the problem, it presents the CrashDumpMode error that we have seen a lot here in this forum regarding this device. And then, as my computers don't recognize my cell phone anymore, I can't use MSMDownload to make the system recovery and the cell phone back to normal. This is about 2 weeks ago

I opened my cell phone yesterday, to remove the flat from the usb input, and try to clean, clean contact, etc... Soon after I reassembled the entire cell with all the flats as they were before and the cell didn't even give any sign of life.

What do you think might have happened? Did his motherboard take its last breath and die for good?

Hugs
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You may have damaged the connector contacts.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] renatoknot:
Which connector? From the usb port or battery?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Any you removed. They are easily damaged if misaligned. Best to use a very fine pair of tweezers and visual aid if needed. Pull and inspect for damage.

ESD protocols/procedures should be followed as well. The out of circuit subassemblies can be damaged by static electricity.

[Sony Xperia 1 III] deaixxx:
You can touch to focus or manually focus during recording in the cinema pro app which is focussed on video capturing and editing.

However auto focus during recording didn't work too well in a quick first try. It just couldn't get a hold of the sharp point. But maybe I did something wrong or this will be fixed.

Manual focus however is a dream - wouldn't wan't anything else. You can even preset 2 focus levels and automatically switch between them.
