[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Fsltb64:
yeah i remember, last time asus support send me an apk to install, that is how the phone unlocked i believe.

guide me for a solution please
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Anubarak16:
I asked the question about your version because there are seller that grab a CN version -> unlock the bootloader and install a WW version on it -> some people think they have WW but in fact it's a non working CN -> WW without a working fingerprint because that functionality breaks during that process... that's why I wanted to confirm your version even tho you said it's WW now.

The bootloader won't be unlocked after a factory reset. I'm a little bit surprised - real asus customer support won't let you unlock the bootloader for whatever reason O.O.

I would contact the support once again to be honest. This doesn't sound correct to me.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
That sums up how I feel every time more details are added.

Asus support would NEVER send out the apk to unlock the bootloader when the terms of the app are that it voids your warranty (allegedly).

Something it definitely not right about this whole situation.

Make sure you are contacting Asus through https://www.asus.com/support/

Edit: Also make sure you registered the device on the Asus site. I have a CN model and despite claims that they don't provide support for CN in the US (my situation, not yours), that only applies to warranty repairs. Having it registered still allows me to contact them as a registered owner.

If it is Tencent with WW, it is going to be a converted model or one of the variants sold in Taiwan that comes "pre-converted" (more likely since you could unlock it). Both will suffer from the fingerprint issue, but you could always attempt a return. If it came with WW installed by the seller, then you can dispute that the seller broke the device. If the seller received it as a WW device, then you can dispute that they sold you a defect. Both are legitimate reasons to say you received a faulty phone, but the seller tampering with it will be harder to prove. A lot of shady sellers will try to claim that you caused the issue after receiving it.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
Sounds fishy. I wouldn't put any personal data or use this phone until you've verified you've dealt with the real ASUS directly (not through a "dealer" or other middleman). If the device is compromised, it's best to rebuild the entire firmware on the phone yourself or send it in to the official ASUS Global support for a clean factory install you know you can trust 100%.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Fsltb64:
Better, i will send it to ASUS for a clean factory firmware. Is there any available options to do it myself.?

Is it complicated process to go back to clean firmware?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Dilnayana:
Are you fix the problem now? Same issue here.. Plz help me
[Magisk] YavBav09:
I use a Redmi Note 7 (lavender) with LineageOS 18.1 with the LineageOS recovery. My device does not have ramdisk.

I decided to install Magisk. I followed the tutorial and flashed the Magisk recovery image to recovery using fastboot. When I boot with the recovery combination (Power + volume up) it does not boot into recovery, but if I long press volume up, it does. But the Magisk app says Magisk is not installed. Flashed again and it still didn't work. So I decided to uninstall it. Since the app did not detect Magisk, I renamed the APK into "uninstall.zip" and sideloaded it usng adb from the LineageOS recovery. That installed Magisk. Today,I decided to boot without Magisk, powering on my phone the usual way (long press Power), but Magisk still works. What is going on?

That's probably just a problem with the Installation Guide.
[Magisk] YavBav09:
I just realized that if you flash the apk as a zip it installs Magisk onto boot and it worked, because I do have ramdisk, even ough Magisk tought me I don't.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
You've likely got a type of device that doesn't have ramdisk in boot, but still accepts an added initramfs.

It's practically impossible to determine if this is the case, but generally Xiaomi devices are this way, so many Xiaomi users have to install to boot even though they have a "Type III" device (as described here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/boot.html#piecing-things-together).

Total Multimedia

Tags: DVD playback on X1

As a product planner for X1, multimedia always meant high quality, nice screen, good playback horse power, easy ui …this comes from my years of working at Sony (our parent).

So when I started X1 planning I wanted to deliver the best in class multimedia to our consumers. The high end chipset in X1 allows for DVD quality playback of movies and some of our preinstalled contents show case that. 3D chip from ATI in the phone makes it a good platform for high end games. excellent support for music with cool BT speaker accessory. Great camera UI to capture high quality pics and movies and crisp screen to view those recorded memories.

All in all X1 qualifies itself as the best multimedia phone in the market today. The Media Xperience panel UI (similar to PS3 and Bravia) empowers the user to have the best in class Media experience with the touch of the screen.

"the SE Xperia X1 will come loaded with an ATI 3D gaming chip so it can support very high level games."

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
[XPERIA X1 General] nap007:

I would rather buy a Radeon HD4850 for that :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Kloc:
awe no crysis on X1?
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Lol! Ok... so i am pretty much torn now, i just realized that i have enough cash saved up for Xperia which is enough for me to sell off my current laptop (HP Pavilion 6850en - 2.2 C2D, 3GB RAM, 250 GB HD, etc.) and then purchase the latest Sony Vaio FW series with a 2.8 GHz processor and a Blu-Ray dvd player... but that would mean i get stuck with the iPhone... :confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Aww heck... who cares. Bring on the Xperia!!! ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] nap007:
wow, he quoted himself! :D

anyway, I don't think a BD is a must now....
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
:)

I thought exactly that and decided it was not worth it at the moment, especially since you won't find any Blu-Ray DVDs here in Pakistan at this time...
[XPERIA X1 General] Kloc:
Eww don't get a sony viao. Horrible laptops! I love sony but not there laptops. There are really cluttered and cost is higher cause your paying for the brand.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Yeah? I haven't used a Viao before, but a friend said that it was the best - and according to him not just 'cos of the brand.

Anyways... the major reason i was considering it was 'cos of the Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz processor, which apparently HP and Dell have yet to move up to.

My HP Pavilion has been working perfectly since i bought it and i am really happy with it... maybe i will upgrade to a faster one once HP releases something cool later this year.
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
"awe no crysis on X1?"

hhmpfff

it's common knowledge that the only thing

that thing can run crysis with max everything is

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) !! ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] FunkyMike:
I would touch wood on this ATI driver issue. Sure the chip might be in there but only benchmarks will show if it is actually fully utilized.

My dream for this baby is to be able to play a normal Xvid file without hickups.
[XPERIA X1 General] Kloc:
My dream is to beable to play FPSEce games at full speed :).
[XPERIA X1 General] FunkyMike:
My dream would be for this phone to open RFID locked doors ;) hehehehehe

maybe some modding would do it ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] Insaneboy:
And even that burned out...

But seriously... why bother with a laptop, aside from the games, the X1 gives me all i want in a laptop - internet connectivity, video/music playback, editable office documents and even some evergreen ported PC games ^^
[XPERIA X1 General] Kloc:
Yes Desktop and PDA is the way to go.
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
i got all 3 plus an ipod touch :P
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
got 3 what?
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
desktop, laptop and pda

would be interested how much the driver mean as in if the device

can run quake2 and 3 with ok fps
[XPERIA X1 General] FunkyMike:
I m surprised that there havent been any reviews of the final unit that comes out in 2 days !!
[XPERIA X1 General] Kloc:
Yeah I haven't seen any reviews with the final rom yet.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
I've been revisting blogs and various sites since morning... :D

I think they're gonna post review tomorrow or after.
[XPERIA X1 General] Kloc:
Let me know when you find one. I wanna see the actual product in action.
[XPERIA X1 General] andeelym:
My wish is that it can play movies/animes smoothly with BT stereo handsfree.

That sucks with my Hermes currently.
[XPERIA X1 General] p3ngwin:
agreed.

just because a company says it has hardware, does not mean they use it. remember HTC's Kaiser driver issues ?

wait for evidence to suggest the hardware is being used.
[XPERIA X1 General] Andy Guts:
I can confirm that it plays full XviD movies without any problems.

I've tried movies and series in XviD without down scaling or re encoding anything at it played great. There's a Bond trailed in mpeg4 in the phone and with the phone I got a memory card with Hancock in some Sony format, they both look and sound great with no performance problems.

I agree with you that the most important thing is to be able to play the exact same XviD movies that you have on your computer and I was happy to see that it worked great.
[XPERIA X1 General] miky7:
That is music to my ears, although what a far-fetched movie Hancock was.
[XPERIA X1 General] floordust:
full XviD + a widescreen = sure is beautiful!

[XPERIA X1 General] Pinguino1:
OK guys let's go back to the reason of this thread:

I was asking in another forum if Xperia ACTUALLY has the ATI chips.

The reason for my question is that the Qualcomm CPU specs are very loaded with 2D/3D support for all faces of the graphic process. So I thought where the ATI chips fit in this "picture" ?( no pun intended)

Is ATI providing an additional graphic power to the Xperia?

Is that the reason for people saying that with same specs Xperia performs better than Diamond and Pro?

Or the thruth is that Xperia doesn't need or have the ATI because the Qualcomm chip is powerful enough for the graphic functions?

[XPERIA X1 General] FunkyMike:
Guys, all these 'documents' and articles are completly useless unless we have some proper benchmarking. Up to this date I havent seen a proper benchmark for the xperia on how it performs with video and 3d operations.

I m hearing mixed stories on if the xperia can acctualy run a normal xvid movie rip.

Someone needs to do some kind of in depth review on the hardware acceleration capabilties of this thing.
[XPERIA X1 General] Agaas:
the ati "chip" is the 3d accelerator built into the qualcomm chip
[XPERIA X1 General] p3ngwin:
Qualcomm's MSM72XX (A) series have only one S.O.C. (system on chip), and then there are chips for the radios and the memory.

no additional graphics chip.

In this PDF (page 10) you will find that INSIDE the SOC is the ATI (imageon from STmicroelectronics).

http://brew.qualcomm.com/bnry_brew/pdf/brew_2007/Tech-303_Ligon.pdf

here is s demo of what kind of power the graphics part of the MSM72XX family has:

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=3eMAJoCBDwA

so to sumarise, there is only one "processor" chip.

it is a "system on chip" that contains within it all the necessary parts for operation of all the devices' features including:

LCD driver, audio, video 2d/3d, memory interface, cryptography, bufffers, etc.
[XPERIA X1 General] Pinguino1:

Thanks P3ngwin,

Finally someone with specifics, not just guesses or hunches.

All crystal clear now. Good job.:D

.

[XPERIA X1 General] p3ngwin:
happy to help :)

EDIT:

our breed stick together :)
[XPERIA X1 General] FunkyMike:
Well no, it isnt crystal clear. Everyone knows what chip is inside the device. What we Dont know is whether there are FULL enabled drivers or not.

Usually HTC devices come without these FULL drivers hence most devices usually suck for good video playback. (Even older chipsets outperform the MSM72XX)

The question here is: Did SE decide to pay the licence to proper hardware acceleration or not.

Hence we need someone to run some benchmarks.
[XPERIA X1 General] ell82:
What for benchmark? I have run Call of Duty 2 accelerated version on Xperia and it work flawless. So we know that OpenGL ES drivers are present in the system.
[XPERIA X1 General] Wishmaster89:
Could you record it and put on youtube so we could see??
[XPERIA X1 General] Zaim2:
Sorry to ask you to cross my t's and dot my i's but does this mean the there are no differences parts-wise between the "system on chip" of the Touch pro and Xperia? aka Would the increased performance/speed being reported over the TP purely be down to superior drivers?
[XPERIA X1 General] Wishmaster89:
There is no difference between SoC found on TP to that in X1 and X1 is faster probably thanks to better optimisation(it seems that they didn't waste their time) and maybe thanks to RAM. Drivers are less likely but who knows maybe they were optimised too not only software.
[XPERIA X1 General] ell82:

[XPERIA X1 General] puerrican85:
You couldn't make it any bigger??? lol 171mb is kinda big for a preview, but I'll post a reply once I see it.

-Update: Saw the video, playback of the game seems pretty smooth compared to most devices, much better then my touch pro definitely, the game being stretched looks abit awkward. Have any other 3d intensive games you could try?

Try giving other games if you could a try, Definitely wanna Doom running on this with the full 800x480 resolution :-D
[XPERIA X1 General] Naffets:
I think something other than an FPS would be better, a racing game for example.

Framerate looks smooth on that vid tho
[XPERIA X1 General] ell82:
Sorry for video size :D I haven't got time and soft to resize the clip. I have already tried also Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 which is not working, and Mobile Quake which also not work (I think they are designed for 2700G). I will try more games and let you know.

Update:

Virutal Pool Mobile GLES not working

Doom 2 GLES not working
[XPERIA X1 General] Pinguino1:
I don't disagree and also let you know I have an analytic mind.

Having said that I believe the best benchmark is the personal experience,

I know it is subjective but when I look at a video I KNOW is good or bad

based on previuos experiences and when I compare with another device,

it easy, I KNOW which one is better.

So now it comes the scientific benchmark and the only thing that it tells me

is to confirm that I was right (or wrong) by a nanosecond.

Don't get me wrong, BRING the benchmarks, remember I am an analytic

and I need to confirm my feeling.

[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
well the roms are there for decompression to see the drivers for yourselves..

I've extracted the uk one, closest goingo get to one of the phones for a whiile!

The same movie on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdCdP1Y92Ys
[XPERIA X1 General] puerrican85:
Yea Doom GLES and Quake wouldn't work due to being optimized for the 2700g, which is a shame since comparing the 2700g to ATIs chip shows that its more outdated by now, especially with only a dedicated 16mb of ram for video.

You would have to try other third party apps like say that Doom port made by ....forgot his name :-\....crap, you have to look for posts made by a guy named Mikey on the Kaiser forums. But another good test apps would be some emulators I guess as well, but thats if u had it set up before, not gonna ask you to go through all that. (Pre)Ordered mine already so hopefully next week looks favorable for me. :-)
[XPERIA X1 General] p3ngwin:
so it seems the X1 can NOT play full screen 2mb/s H264 files @ 30fps yet.

there needs to be a software media player that has support coded for the graphics hardware.

this looks like another case like HTC saying there is great hardware an performance "rich multimedia experience!", which never happened.

this time SONY may have made our lives easier to call them on it, as they have stated actual performance metrics that can be proved.

HTC used "rich multimedia experience" and other language that is subjective and not nailed to any measurable absolute.
[XPERIA X1 General] dwj:
Thats a shame about virtual pool mobile too as its a good game. I think it was specially for the dell x51 too though. Did the non-3g version work? X1 has big res so wondered if you can get decent frame rates.
[XPERIA X1 General] NuShrike:
Just looked at this. It requires GLES-CL (CommonLite), and hard codes calls to GLES-CL.

All the current Qualcomm MSM72xx devices support GLES-CM (Common), with function names, not dll offsets. Summary, this can work if one has a libes_cl.lib and made a custom .dll that rerouted all the _cl calls to the _cm.dll.

Summary, you're SOL because this program hardcodes to a specific libgles dll.

On the other hand, the PocketPC version uses GAPI, so if you have working GAPI, you can run that one.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kmoussa:
Hi all

Just wondering if anyone who has an Asus zenfone 8 are having trouble with the battery life ?

Thank you
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dron39:
I'm not sure about everyone. I heard from some people on stock about 6-7 hours SoT, but i don't know how. 5-6 sound much real)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Kmoussa:
5-6 sounds about right . That's very disappointing considering it's a 4000amh battery . I would have expected slot more hours.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Sebi673:
I find the battery life ok but in need of some tweaks (hopefully) on AOD, 2t2w, wakelocks, cpu governors and so on.

Hopefuly they'll put the effort into it.

In my usage, i shut off the 2nd sim when i don't need it, aod, 2t2w/fingerprint is on (w/out the aod icon), reception set on 3g w/ occasional 4g, 120hz (not that much of an impact) but i restrict some of the apps that pool lots of resources and (with a few exceptions) i have most of the battery optimizations on (adaptive bat, managed auto-start aps, bg app mgmt, w/ bat draining apps off.

On an average day outdoors, spotify streams on very high most of the time to BT (aptx hd), some occasional pics/videos, plenty of instagram, some browsing and some youtube. I usually go to sleep w/ 20-30% left. Charging is done w/ shed charging and ultra steady charging during sched charging.

It is my opinion that the screen on very high brightness just eats through battery (I mostly avoid extended usage in direct sunlight).

While excluding the 120hz refresh rate, second battery hogs after the screen would be the 2t2w, aod and the general standby opptimizations.

I hope they'll address some of these but otherwise I pretty much love the tiny guy - there had to be a comproomise for the specs and pricepoint. :love:
