[Xiaomi Mi 11] dezborders:
I have UK model (supplied by UK H3G network vendor), with Global MIUI 12.5 (Android 11).

Battery life is stellar ;)

SOT is 8+ hours at 60hz

OS is stable and smooth.

Wireless and reverse wireless charging work perfecty.

Mi 11 5G is basically on par with a Samsung S21 Ultra at half the price (minus the 10x zoom lense).
[Xiaomi Mi 11] macwoq:
Before I had Mi 10 which I bricked somehow, idk for sure it's my fault but anyway I've got refund of price which I paid when I bought 10, so natural choice of my was 11, and in comparison to 10 it's way better fingerprints reader, faster which you can feel everywhere, stunning display even when compared to 10, still way better, battery lot better, camera no words the huge difference, in overall my 10 had about 250 apps and was really slow sometimes, getting hot with no reason,.

Now 11 the same amount, almost but mostly all, before bootloader unlock and flashing Xiaomi.eu is working as I expect from mobile, fast, no lags and no overheating.

But it's not like 10 was bad, try to understand me comparing to 10 Xiaomi made a good job and released much better successor. That's it, if my 10 would still work I probably wouldn't buy it.

Previously I had mix 2s and wait two generations to hop into new one, and same before.

In overall it's very good model, and I don't regret that I picked that one instead of Poco F3 or whatever else. I trust flagships are better not only with 10-15% performance, where's more of everything...
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dennisb71:
Hi, I have searched but couldn't find a solution, so here's my question.

I had unlocked the bootloader before and worked fine.

Wanted to go back to stock and lock the bootloader again but made a mistake I guess.

I locked the bootloader and now it gives me the 'corrupt' message. Is there anyway I can get it running again?

Unable to re-install the stock atm because flash-all.bat doesn't see a device.

Who is able to help me please?

You need to recover your phone with msm tool
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dennisb71:
Thanks for the reply. Can you help me to a correct link?

I managed to get it into fastboot and then I got it to unlock bootloader again.

Then I tried the Maronofrio install tool. That gave me a lot of "failed" messages on the prompt.

Now the phone keeps restarting with the OnePlus logo, but that's it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dennisb71:
Managed! Resolved.

Thanks again Lycidias
[Redmi Note 10] Injector287:
I am having a tough time installing TWRP on (sunny) as I am not used to A/B partitioned devices. The stock recovery is replaced every time once I boot back to system. I have been using fastboot to get the custom recovery. It would be helpful if someone could tell how to get it installed permanently as there is no recovery partition in A/B devices. There was no option for Recovery Ramdisk in TWRP.

Thank You
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
If you change the boot.img, the recovery is automatically changed. There is no other way.

The boot.img includes the recovery. This is the reason.
[Redmi Note 10] Injector287:
So is there no way to get recovery without altering the boot?
[Redmi Note 10] syntheticdingo:
Once you install the ROM via TWRP, I believe you need to go to Advanced > Install Recovery Ramdisk > flash the TWRP image file from microSD.

I haven't gotten to test this myself since I am still waiting for the bootloader unlock, others can confirm if it is the case or if I said something false.

Alternatively, I think crDroid dev for this phone bundles it with TWRP... actually, I think dev dropped it in latest release.
[Redmi Note 10] Injector287:
I am using an unofficial twrp and it is not having Install ramdisk option.

Unofficial Twrp 3.5.1 Sunny
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
1) Installing boot.img changes the recovery to the one it contains.

2) You can change the recovery by subsequently installing recovery on the ramdisk.

But whenever I flash the boot.img again, the recovery changes again.

Even version 3.5.1 of TWRP includes a ramdisk installation feature. Look for it in "Advanced".
[Redmi Note 10] Injector287:
As I said before that option isn't available in the Advanced option despite me looking for it.

EDIT: I used a different recovery.img TWRP 3.5.2 for sunny, and it had the option. I am linking it here so you can use it.

[General Questions and Answers] skoub2:
Hi everyone,

I have a Samsung Galaxy A50 (SM-A505W) and I noticed that the bottom of the screen is off by a few pixels. The android virtual buttons (home, back, recent apps) are a little bit lower on the screen than what it should be so they are a little cutoff at the bottom. I compared it with another Galaxy A50 and you can clearly noticed it. The screen as a resolution of 1080x2340 and it is like it was thinking he has 1080x2350.

I tried a few things without any success. The values are good!

Hard reset

adb shell wm size reset

adb shell wm density reset

adb shell wm overscan (missing with Android 11)

What else can I do?

Thank you for the help!

Model Name: Asus ROG 5 16GB 256 WHITE

Firmware Version: 18.0840.2106.86

Rooted or not: NOT

Frequency of Occurrence: Randomly during calls

Hi there...

Im having a problem with my phone which i have for less than 20 days.

During calls people tell me that my voice gets interrupted and that it sounds like a robot.

Problem happens during normal calls and even facebook messenger calls or Viber calls.

Happens randomly one time they can hear me normally and then suddently it gets interrupted with that "robot" like sound.

Problem was happening from the moment i got the device but thought i should wait and maybe a software update would solve it.Some days after i got it the current update came out and when i installed it problem appeared to not happen any more.But after some time people started telling me the same thing "voice interrupted" and robot voice again.

I have found another thread posted by someone else mentioning the same problem as mine and there are people that have the same thing but thread is closed.Link is below

What should i do,should i speak with asus?Will they repair the phone or replace it since there hasnt been many days since day of purchase and problem appeared from the start.

Thanks in advance
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
I would have returned the device.

Try running in safe mode to rule out 3rd party apps.

Clear system cache.

So what does the little man in the box say?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
It could be an issue with the connection, but if it happens no matter how you connect, then it may be a hardware issue. A loose wire could easily cause that and the wiring on the internals is tiny.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
happens in safe mode also :(

happens with messenger call -viber and normal calls .

Just tried the safe mode :(
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
Not many wires if any.

Lots of ribbon cables and micro connectors are likely.

A cracked solder joint, PCB trace or chipset defect.

Could also be firmware or software related.

A defective or blocked mic. There maybe be more than one and carefully hidden. Make sure the case, skin etc aren't blocking any mic ports!
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
Read about the quad mic system. Inspect each port for blockage.

Asus ROG Phone 5 review

It's hard to mistake a ROG Phone. And this is still true for the ROG Phone 5. Though with that said, four iterations in, its styling is very different...

m.gsmarena.com
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
phone has never never been dropped.

also all the mic ports are clear.i thought it has to do with how i hold the phone,i tried different ways but no,nothing works.

I have thought at start maybe it has to do with my carrier but it happens when im connected on wifi during messenger call or viber.

Everyone says something is wrong with my voice and they cant hear me at random points i sound like a robot :(
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
I am sure you knew it was a generalization, but Asus did release schematics. There is no need to guess.

https://xdaforums.com/t/service-guide-and-maintenance.4315865/

It sounds like the only things left are a software (firmware, not user) or a hardware issue. Since the issue seems to be specific to your device, software seems extrememly unlikely. A blockage would muffle you, but is unlikely to give the robot effect (usually electronic interference).

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
would that be reason for a replacement??

Not repair,new device. i have the phone for 22 days and its been doing it from the start
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
had previous fw when i bought it.after software update problem wasnt solved
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
ill have one of my colleagues record me tommorow so i have something to send them (asus)to give better details what the problem is
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
They usually try to repair it, even though a replacement seems like it should be the obvious response. I completely agree that new devices should be exchanged, but that seems to be less and less common.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
Did you even look for the mic ports?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
yes i did...there is nothing blocking them etc..
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
the strange thing is that i have recorded myself counting numbers for 4 minutes and it hasnt happened a single time :/

only happens during calls or its random that it didnt happen while counting numbers .

wtf
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
It's not using the effected portion of the phone when you did the recording.

Does it do it on bt calls?

Likely headed back for service or replacement...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
If you really want to test if it is the microphone itself, you could try a headset (bluetooth, 3.5, or USB-C). If that solves it, then you at least know what is broken. It is still worth getting it fixed this early on.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
thats what i thought :(

what you mean bt calls,connect bt earbuds and make a call??
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
ok i understand what you guys saying.

i will try these and report back

sad :(
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
Try a factory reset after checking for/installing any firmware updates.

If that doesn't get it I think you hit the end of the line for self troubleshooting.

You are still under warranty. It's not like you need to resolve it yourself.

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
I spoke with Asus support from my country (greece) on the phone.

Told them the problem,they asked to send them the sound clip so they can hear it.

When I asked what will happen they said I will probably need to send the device to Czechia where their repair center is. And that I will be probably be repaired they will NOT give me a new device...

This is unacceptable had the problem from day 1 and they said i could return the device and get a replacement only before 7 days.

What if I didnt use the loudspeaker between seven days and started using it on 8th day then I wouldn't be getting a replacement.

This is a joke...

What do you think
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
I think it's pretty standard. Where I am, most cell phone sellers (direct, carrier, etc) offer 14 days to return a device. After that, you fall under the warranty. I can see how they might not immediately offer a new device if they can't confirm it is a hardware failure. I feel like they should offer an exchange for devices that arrive defective, but agree with only doing so for the duration of the return period.

It could be worse. Samsung is claiming you can add a monthly accidental warranty within 30 days of a new device. I contacted them the same day my new device arrived with a faulty speaker. I was told to take it to a repair shop to be fixed within a week, unless I had the accidental warranty. That was also when they explained that their warranty was no longer being offered as a separate purchase.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
EDIT: Ignore below if it's only happening when on speaker..

Are you having periodic issues with data connection as well? I.e, internet connectivity drops off and/or very weak data?

The voice issue you're describing sounds almost exactly like the voice call issues when the antenna (and connectors to mainboard) are faulty/damaged. I've just been through that..
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Still might be useful to know the time between posting it was broken and posting it was fixed was only 6 days with no questions asked.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
Not having any problems with data or WiFi. Nothing.

Only problem I'm having is the voice thing. It's a shame cause I'm reading a lot of problems like battery not lasting long etc.. Mine is perfect I'm forgetting to charge it :-(
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
Would you trust them to repair? I'm talking about chzech repair center will they take good care of it?

Phone has zero scratches etc zero zero its like its new (20 days phone).

Any chance there is a European law that says I should be offered new device and not a repair if its found faulty?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
Assuming it's an authorized ASUS service center you should be fine. If it's your shop sending the device to a 3rd party, I would be concerned. I don't think there is an EU law forcing them to give you a new device as long as they offer to repair it.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
No I spoke with Asus support directly. They told me they will listen to the audio file I sent them and that I will have to send the mobile free of charge with courier to chzech repair center,their base.

It will be repaired if found faulty and be sent back to me free of charge
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
You kinda cornered yourself on this one...

If you claim it's been an issue since day one, they can argue that it took you 20+ days to report it.

If you claim you just discovered the issue, they can say you've been using it for 20+ days without noticing anything wrong and they have to verify it wasn't user damage.

Best thing to do is photograph the condition of the phone, pack it up well, and make sure you have tracking when you send it out. Licensed repair shops are nothing like the trash on YouTube that are trying to open a phone with one hand and record their whining with the other.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
True. Not sure it goes that smooth every time though. I brought mine to a local ASUS service center in person. This guy is being asked to send the device to a different country..
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
I told them on the phone that it was happening from the start.

Truth is that if someone told me that he couldn't hear me I would turn off the loudspeaker and would speak normally. Thinking it had something to do with the carrier sygnal etc.. Days passed I don't do a lot of talking Im living alone and now we are where we are..

They said i had 7 days to speak with the shop I bought it from to get it replaced but the thing is that I didn't really pay much attention. New firmware came like 5 days after I got it used the normal call problem didn't seem to happen and when I started using loudspeaker again problem would come back.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
Do you get this issue only when using the ASUS phone app? I.e if you make a call with Skype, Whatsapp, Signal, Viber or similar and turn on the speaker do you have the issue?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
Yes same thing with viber or Facebook messenger's connected to wifi.

Even tried booting safe mode and tried via the normal call app still happens
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
I think you missed the point. I was telling you how they can justify not giving you a replacement. A minimum wage support representative is not going to care how good the excuse is past the eighth day.

I'm not saying I support the mentality, but look at the Note 7. A Jeep caught fire before they issued a recall. Look at the Nintendo Switch. Joycons have a known drift issue from weak cables. They extended the warranty to cover indefinite repair before releasing new ones... with the same design.

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
UPDATE!!

I sent my device to czech to service.

They received and they shipped it back,I didn't go to pick it up yet

THEY REPLACED THE MOTHERBOARD.

I haven't heared back from them to the question I asked them - is the mobo new - used - REFURBISHED.

SO DISAPPOINTED device 20+ days problem appeared from the start and they replaced THE MAIN PART the motherboard... they don't accept a replacement.

Whats your opinion - advice
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
In most cases, warranty repairs are done with new parts. This is especially true when the device isn't old enough to have a stock of refurbished ones.

If they replaced the motherboard, they are pretty much giving you a full replacement. Short of the panel and case, almost the entire internal hardware is replaced when changing that.

If you're looking to be disappointed, you'll find a way, but it sounds like they made sure to fix the problem.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
they replaced my motherboard with refurbished one.

They changed my Imei so there is no chance for resale.

THE PROBLEM IS STILL HERE!!!!

FFS
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
im really need of an advice what to do next...i dont accept a second repair i would like a new device or my money back.

And im never comming back to asus mobile phones again
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Not sure how you got refurbished parts or a different IMEI. It shouldn't stop you from selling it if it isn't blacklisted, though.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
from their email : part (motherboard) is "reconditioned" fully working without any defects...

Different motherboard different IMEI.

Im not saying its impossible to sell,try explain the person i want to sell it to why the imei is different from the one written on the back of the box....they have stuck a sticker on the back of the phone over that sticker that says the model number and the imei,over the old imei.

Problem still exists voice interupts and robotic voice
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
would you accept all that if it happened to you?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
What you seem to want to hear is that you should get a new device, your money back, and a written apology. That also isn't realistic. The reality is that you didn't test calls until a month into owning the device and learned a valuable lesson about verifying core functionality early because you only get a short test period. They obviously repaired it and verified it was working, so it may be time to look into any possible causes on your end.

As for explaining the IMEI, it would be as simple as either not including the box or simply selling it as a manufacturer refurbished unit in new condition. A lot of people prefer that to used because it means it was actually verified by a professional.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] eftapsixos:
did you read what i just wrote that problem is still there?

ignore that?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Since I don't work for Asus, my job description does not include being the target for frustration with hardware issues and poor support experiences. Best of luck. I hope it all works out.
