To make it clear, I, for one, have made the switch... Using Chrome as Default, there are still many areas they need to cover, but my biggest concern at the moment is Bookmarks. Firefox and Opera have great Sync features, Chrome has none. That's a real pain, considering the whole Cloud phylosophy which Google understands all too well..

Downloading is another area...

Being a big Google fan I'm prepared to live with this version, but not sure if it's ready for mainstream.

I imagined Chrome to be updated quite often, but that's not the case at all.
[Off-topic] Willtastic:
I'm definitely using Chrome full time. I've had to go back to Firefox a couple times for certain plugins (specifically media rippers, to pull FLV files off video sites) but hopefully Chrome will open up to third parties soon.
[Off-topic] orb3000:
I think it´s too "Beta" now

Maybe in a couple of years could be a good candidate, but now still too young and limited.

I´ll stick to Opera meantime

Cheers,
[Off-topic] baucha:
I have been using Chrome every now n then but not 'default'. It does look promising but will take time to mature like Firefox 3. Firefox simply rocks. :p
[Off-topic] mikeeey:
Aparently they have this policy that everything you upload using google chrome is now considered theirs.. or so I've been told...
[Off-topic] zeezee:
I enjoy a certain level of privacy. So....im sticking to FF on the PC (except when IE is required) and Opera on WM6.1+
[Off-topic] Willtastic:
@Mikeeey: Nope. They resolved that a while ago. They used a general TOS agreement that was pretty blanket and covered a number of services (to save on writing up different legal agreements every time). They forgot that the wording was sort of bad in this particular case and have since changed it. Everything you do under Chrome is yours, as expected.

@Zeezee: What do you mean by privacy? Because they track usage?
[Off-topic] _Alex_:
I really like Google products, but Chrome just doesn't cut it against FireFox or Maxthon. I've grown very accustomed to certain plug-ins and/or features in FireFox and Maxthon that I just can't part with.
[Off-topic] Khrushy:
I'm absolutely loving Chrome. So speedy.

Still lacks a couple of things I liked from FF, but I'm not going back.

/defaults it.

Oh - and regarding privacy - I figure Our-Googley-Overlords already know most of my browsing habits, seeing as I use Google to search for everything anyway. :P
[Off-topic] joel2009:

[Off-topic] orb3000:
Why you say this?

Can you extend your opinion please?
[Off-topic] WizardN00b:
I've always hated FF and was an IE user.

I find Chrome screws up sometimes on streaming videos, but other than that, I use it all the time.

IE7 would crash on me daily, not any more. The ultimate browser for me would be some sort of Chrome-IE8 hybrid.

Hi there can anyone help me please how can i flash global rom on Chinese oppo find x3 pro .....

Impossible
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Hunar999:
Ohh why?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] maxellxl:
Locked bootloader + different modem
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Gilberto_BR:
bootloader isn't the problem because it's unlockable, and im almost sure that the modems can be activated in the kernel, but all of that requires a developer interested in the project...
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] maxellxl:
This option is by default in every android phone and it does not mean that in oppo you can unlock bootloader.

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] badtlc:
I am currently on stock Android 12. I flashed the unlocked stock image (non-verizon) a few weeks back. With Android 11, Android 12, LineageOS, etc. every browser I have tried including Chrome, Brave, Via, etc. all drain the battery way faster than browsers did on my previous Moto G5 plus. i would say when I am surfing the net on my browser (usually just reading forums, no video), the battery drains about 1% every 5 minutes or less. I have tried 2.4Ghz wifi, LTE, etc. and data connection type doesn't seem to impact anything.

Is this normal for this phone? anything to do to reduce browser battery drain?
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] EngineerMind:
If you go into battery usage graph, is the browser the only app listed as using up the battery (and not the screen brightness, or another app that may be contributing to the heavy usage)
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] badtlc:
correct. if I am using other apps the battery drain isn't near as severe. I keep the display setting "extra dim" enabled all the time and I keep it down as low as I can tolerate. I use a pitch black wallpaper use dark mode in browsers so they have mostly black background with white text.

Phone idle is the only other thing that seems to use a sizeable amount of battery according to the battery usage data in settings.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] DB126:
Sounds about right. Came from a Moto G7 Play (15 months back) and saw similar drain rates. All three devices have similar battery specs which plays into the units being used to assess drain. Is what it is.

FWIW - Opera
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] badtlc:
Not gonna lie, it makes me want to go back to Motorola when this Pixel bites the dust.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] DB126:
Many Moto's bring a nice package with unique tricks. Gotta do your homework on what features are most important when the time comes.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] badtlc:
I definitely did that. I only got the 4a because it was the perfect size and had a headphone jack. I assumed with a newer hardware set and similar sized battery compared to my old phone batter life "should" be better. Nope.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] DB126:
Na, it's more complicated. 4a sports more sensors, brighter/denser display, faster processors, etc. System and personal apps clearly play a role in longevity (behind screen brightness); you'd need to do a detail study to understand what's drawing when and why.

I use to fuss over such matters but find the device lasts a full day for my use case which is all that really matters. Charges up quick from a modest size battery pack when camping/traveling. Just like past Motos. :)

Not sure who I'll partner with in the next dance. Love Pixel cameras (especially in challenging conditions) and routine updates. Miss some of Moto's innovations, like active display and actions. Needs to be close to AOSP; no Samsung UX butchery. In the end form factor will likely be the deciding factor once non-contenders are ruled out.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] a1291762:
I don't know what CPU you came from, but if the Moto only had "small" cores then of course it used less battery. "Big" cores use more power. They go faster too, but if you have a constant load, then they'll eat battery faster.

I don't know if there's a non-root way to disable the big cores, but I suspect you can do it with root (but don't know for sure).

Otherwise, you gotta get your browser to stop running JavaScript. If you're watching video you need to make sure the browser is offloading all the decoding to the hardware codecs rather than doing it on the CPU.

And if the screen is on, it might help to try and get it "more black" (eg. Use night mode) or turn down the brightness. The screen is often the primary user of power when a device is being used.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] badtlc:
Thanks for the suggestions. My power complaints are just limited to the browser so I dont think it is just the larger CPUs. I think my standby consumption issues are related to Stock Android as I am now running GrapheneOS and my standby power consumption now matches my old Moto G5 Plus.

As for browser usage consumption, I have tried everything but disabling Javascript. I will try that and see if it breaks anything I use regularly. Thanks for the idea.

tangent back to general power consumption, I typically disable just about everything behind the scenes as I can. I keep the theme on pitch black. I use the extra dim setting to keep screen brightness as low as I can tolerate. I use night mode in browser to keep as much black background as possible. I disable all tap-to-wake or sensor based features. When I was trying to run Android 12, I disabled all the smart services and removed all the google apps I could. I removed all permissions I could. I restricted all apps I could. I disabled adaptive settings, etc. There is a bunch of stuff running in the background on Android 12 and I just could not
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Locklear308:
Welcome to the future. Older phones had better battery life
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] badtlc:
I dont think it is all the phone. GrapheneOS has 40% better standby battery usage than stock android 12. On graphene, it matches my old Moto G5 Plus. It is either lazy programmers with inefficient coding these days or it is google having the stock OS do waaaay too much by default with no way to disable it.

I'm trying to figure that out now.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Locklear308:
I totally agree on the lazy thing. So many devs now days are so lazy. I develope QuickBase databases and constantly run into extremely poorly setup realms/apps. Just basic stuff. Lol

I had to reset my phone to factory due to my own ****up and after i did Android 11 keeps showing me this emergency alert to finish setting up my phone by logging in with either Smart Switch or Google and get my data back. I never logged in to google or smart switch before and there's no data to recover, i just want this dumb notification alert gone. Is there a way to do so?

Please excuse the language, as i live in a spanish speaking country.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 11913111:
The notification comes from Android Config (com.google.android.setupwizard)

I had the phone already functioning and i have no idea if removing this apk will break or change anything in my phone, since i assume this is an apk that is run only once on init then never used again.

After i flashing, installing software....when soft-reset...It can't enter the window!!!! Who can help me??? Isn't it can't fix?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
What is your SPL - hold power button, ok button above the flywheel and rset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until you come to the tri-colour screen. You should now be able to see your SPL. reset with stylus to exit.

If its not 2.10 olipro (Hard SPL v7) then your in for a lot of hair pulling and a heap of reading...

Try a hard reset. hold both softkeys in and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until it asks if you want to reset to factory. Hit r then space. It should now go back to the setup screen. All contacts will be lost but as you just flashed, everything was gone anyway.

Try using the sd card method (ONLY IF YOU HAVE HARD SPL - 2.10 OLIPRO)

1. format 2Gb or less sd card fat32. Copy .nbh file of the os you want on it and rename to "hermimg.nbh".

2 insert sd card into phone and go to bootloader (tri-colour screen as above)

3. If you did this right, follow instructions..

Hope this helps...

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] i_sagnik:
I am confused, whether to get (prices in INR):

Samsung Evo Plus 256GB -/2899

SanDisk Extreme 256GB -/3105

SanDisk Ultra 256GB -/2337

Also, does the Poco X3 Pro support or benefit from A2 sd cards?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] vicl89:
Go for Sandisk Extreme, I guess is a good choice. And yes, all android phones with API level 28 (android 9) supposed to support it. I have this one in my phone, is not A2 but I love it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] borisku:
Sandisk has a long guarantee, with the extreme micro sds i guess 10 years. And yes, i had a defect micro sd from sandisk (could not be written on it nor delete files. I had to send them an individual card number (very small with laser written?? and a piccture of the destroyed card (murdered it with sissors) and i got a new one. Very good service. i think the extreme variant ist the fastest. If you consider the long guarantee, i think the higher price will result in higher profit
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] i_sagnik:
The SanDisk Ultra offers 10years and Extreme has got lifetime warranty!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] borisku:
You are pefectly right... What could be better than a lifelong guarantee??
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Haldi4803:
Jup. SanDisk do have some pretty nice warrant. I've also replaced 2 broken cards. 128gb and 64gb back in the days.

They actually shipped back 2 different packages... They were huge for such a small card ^^

But Samsung isn't bad either.

Speed mostly isn't limited by the Card but by the reader of the smartphone or the software.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] AIIIOT:
I measured the speed on the version with a 732 processor (the card readers in the devices are the same). I could not get more than 90/50 megabytes for reading / writing from a sandisk extreme card. I came to the conclusion that installing cards on this platform better than the mass Ultra Sandisk or Samsung Evo is a waste of money.

View attachment 5478891
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ChriMo:
Indeed happy with the speed of Internal Memory and with the 8/256 GB version there is a lot.

I think UFS 3.1 256 GB in this price class is top value (paired with good CPU).

SD should be used as backup drive and for storage of files not opened often, like Music, Movies, etc.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Haldi4803:
@AIIIOT what app is that?

Looks pretty useful.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] AIIIOT:
You're telling the truth. But, I answered the question about the memory card. There is no point in wasting money on the expensive one. The device is not the fastest card reader.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Addicteddddd:
as said prior to my post, it's being worked on, though there will inevitably be some problems.

Dont forget that with the Apple community the need to unlock is much greater than here (no unlock required to access the system etc) and so you will most likely find a lack of interest by developers to add applications into this software as the Windows Mobile operating system hasn't really changed much in the sense that it has always allowed for custom apps and tweaking etc, much like Windows.

Other than that, i hope it really does do well because i think it could be a great addition if enough developers get on to it and use it :L)

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Torok6:
If the brightness is above half, the color temperature will change slightly by itself, but at 120hz only at 60hz I have not experienced this. Is it like that for anyone else?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] blackhawk:
Color calibration is a known issue on variable rate displays. They are extremely hard for the manufacturers to color calibrate even if within specs. It's present on all variable rate displays to some extent. So yours may be within specs or not.

Try a side by side comparison with another identical device. If you can see a difference that's not a good sign as human gamma and to a lesser extent color perception (many not all, some have excellent color perception*) sucks. If both reproduce the same images identically, it's likely their design firmware/hardware limit.

*it's tiered like IQ. If you're in the top 1% you can detect color shifts others are completely unaware of.

will this be fixed?

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Torok6:
is this guaranteed to be repaired?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] chinda1979:
You can lock refresh rate to 120hz with adb tool .

where can i turn it on?

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Torok6:
but can they solve this with an update?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Riichard63:
I was facing the same color calibration change as the op stated.

This method just worked fine even without unlocked bootloader. When minimum refresh rate is set to 90 Hz you cannot notice any color calibration change.

Thanks a lot
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Torok6:
There is no 11T pro 90hz
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Riichard63:
No you can't set it within rom settings, there is only 120 and 60 Hz. But when you goes for 120 Hz it turns to be adaptative refresh rate meanings that refresh rate varies between 60 and 120 Hz.

The method sushuguru provided allow to modify the minimum refresh rate value, so now my phone oscillate only between 90 and 120 Hz instead of a 60-120 range.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Torok6:
but it only switches to 60hz when the brightness is half
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] chinda1979:
Yes just command minimum refresh to 90hz

in adb tool to solve this problem.

Only 3 command in adb tool

1: adb devices

2: adb shell

3: settings put system min_refresh_rate 90
