I am using the d-pad for scrolling in texts, spreadsheets, web-browsers etc. A virtual d-pad might be useful.

And some games might use just vga resolution. As Lord.Bachus wrote, the HD's screen will give enough place for VGA plus a virtual d-pad. Therefore a virtual d-pad wil help gamers too, at least in some situations.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
If the virtual D-pad is in the form of a specialised keyboard that has to be changed using, then I don't think it is a good idea at all. As you know, changing software keyboard involved too many steps. It would be much easire to simply use the arrow key on whatever keyboard you're using for that purpose. It's faster anyway.

To be truely useful, it should involve one and only one touch/click to move left or right or up or down. It should not interfere with software keyboard already there.

I'm going to explore using AEBPlus to assign the phone on, phone off, and volume button for the up/down/left/right action. I think it should be possible to rely entirely on the screen to use the phone so it is not necessary, although nice to have dedicated phone on and off buttons.
[Touch HD General] goody:
Using a moded soft keyboard is just one idea. A dedicated virtual d-pad will be a better option.

Redefining keys is another method.

Another idea is using GController software from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=429569

There are many options to substitute the missing hardware d-pad.... Lets hope anyone finds the best for him-/herself.
[Touch HD General] jtxda:
GController is interesting SW but for reading documents it would be better to have a "gesture D-pad". Simply something what would interpret finger flicking on the screen in different directions as up,down,left, right. Of course this would not work for games but would be great for e.g. PDFs, ebooks...

anyone seen something like this?

[Touch HD General] Nighthawk:
Cool! I like this DPad as an option, doesn't look to be available anywhere though. It would be even better if it could appear when running VGA games etc. (as others have said).
[Touch HD General] ekerbuddyeker:
all we need is the virtual D-PAD that appears in Word to be available every time the keyboard comes up, or without the keyboard.

it is especially needed with the PHONE app. I still cant figure out how to select a previously dialled partys contact WITHOUT dialling it! For example, on my Touch Pro i can scroll to the name and moving left or right select Work, Home, etc before dialling.

Come on... someone out there must know how to write such a CAB???
[Touch HD General] nurotic:
i have seen how others have edited the keyboard on the diamond to makeit smaller. maybe on the hd a new keyboard with only the dpad keys could be programmed. the difference with the dpad is that it is something you want constantly on screen.

maybe a little widget that floats on screen above all apps.

for those who remember there was a old ppc app called Nyditot virtual display which had floating dpad which allowed you to scroll the screen.

http://www.nyditot.com/Home.asp

i dont have the programming skills but hopefully give some inspiration.
[Touch HD General] jackthekayman:
I think the problem is the single touch screen, so also if you get virtual d-pad on screen the HD recognize only one input per time, so you couldn't move a character to any direction and shoot at the same time for example...
[Touch HD General] 2unique:
saw a video on youtube where the guy just swiped the contact left or right with his finger, same as you would with the d-pad
[Touch HD General] cybermaus:
Very annoying indeed. I had the same. Just disable the phone skin, go back to the original Windows phone. Many descriptions on how to disable the skin, but if you are not happy editing the registry, use Advanced Config Tool V3.3
[Touch HD General] onesolo:
You are very confusing...

"I still cant figure out how to select a previously dialled partys contact WITHOUT dialling it"

In the Phone app?? Just sweep a finger up and down over the last phoned contacts on the Phone App, the dialpad disappear immediately. Alternatively you can disable first the dialpad clicking on the phone mini-picture and then sweep the last phoned contacts.

" For example, on my Touch Pro i can scroll to the name and moving left or right select Work, Home, etc before dialling."

I aslo can can do this on Phone app, just sweep left or right over a particular phoned contact, and I get the rest of the contacts, sms emails phones etc, of that dialed contact.

Hello,

I hope someone can help me, My P30 pro has started to reboot itself at approximately 2 mins and 30 seconds after a restart, it does this 90% of the time. As I am writing this it's done probably its 6/7th reboot and has now passed the 2:30min powered up, it will however restart later, randomly.

This also happened to me about 4 months ago, I did a factory reset/wipe and started from fresh and it seemed to work fine until yesterday, its been working for months okay (I didn't install anything new yesterday)

I've ran optimiser, everything okay. I have had the phone since new and it's in near perfect condition, I do used a NM card in the phone too if that makes a difference.

Does anyone have any ideas on how a track down the issue? Its making the phone near useless.

Many Thanks

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wizardlizard111:
Best idea I have is to make sure that you clock is set to automaticly update (this for some reason is often not a default setting)

To do this go into your settings, and then into the shortcut called "Phone"

At the bottom find the tab called "Time Zones" (you may have to scroll over to find it)

Make sure "Automatic change time zone and clock." is checked.

Hopefully it is not, and this solves your problem :)

You can't, the option doesn't exist (for now) in the Oxygen OS version of the Nord 2.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] edulcorante1:
You can already say that you have seen one that has pocket mode and that to deactivate it you have to go into developer options and uncheck the lock screen, the problem is that the phone is left without any security system (fingerprint, code, etc). OnePlus Spain, after an hour in the chat, we have not been able to find how to disconnect said screen without going into developer options. If you know of any solutions, it would be appreciated. Thanks for answering.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] sirwuku:
The only way I was able to find is with a rooted device, as explained in this thread.

Basically you would go to your Phones files:

Then add:

to the list

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] magman2:
I just got a Redmi Note 11. When trying to play a 10bit 265 (HEVC) encoded video the playback was choppy and not smooth. MX Player claims "HW decoding is unsupported" for that format. Trying to force it through the settings did not help. Other video players such as VLC did not fare any better. I found this really strange as my old Redmi Note 4 from 2017 played these videos without a problem.

Digging into it a looked up the Snapdragon 680 that powers the device, and according to what I found the CPU has support for 10bit h265 (source: https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu-qualcomm_snapdragon_680_4g). So what is going on here? Am I doing something wrong or did Xiaomi somehow cheap out on the phone? I am really disappointed by my purchase at the moment as 10bit video is something I use a lot, so any ideas for solving this will be much appreciated.

(Note: I posted a similar question over here: https://xdaforums.com/t/sticky-mx-p...hevc-discussion.2725241/page-42#post-87053885 but since I got no answer I thought I'd try to get help here, and if not at least warn people of buying the phone as the lack of support is not listed anywhere. If my double post is against the rules I apologize)

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] magman2:
Thanks for the reply. I just tried the app you suggested, and it too won't let me set it to hardware decoding. Pressing the SW button does nothing. So it seems no app is able to use hardware acceleration on 10bit 265 videos. Whether that is due to some driver issues (?) or a physical lack of support in the CPU is still unclear.

Am I the only one with this issue?

That file my phone can play as well, but that file is an 8 bit file. It's the 10 bit encodes that the phone won't play with hardware acceleration. Can you try this file and say if you have hardware acceleration? I tested this file on my old Redmi Note 4 and it played back smoothly. My new Note 11 can't handle it:

https://jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfish-10-mbps-hd-hevc-10bit.mkv

Also, for the record, I am using the stock MIUI 13.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Oifan:
You are right about the bpp -- my sample MP4 has bitdepth=8 in the header, while your sample MKV has bitdepth=10 in the header.

I have just tried your sample on my SuperiorOS (build 20220613-0631), and:

mpv starts in SW-render mode and cannot switch to HW-render mode,

X-plore will just show black screen with message: Internal codec error

I guess that means that:

either the underlying hardware does not have the required decoder,

or the driver for that hardware does not support this video format.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] magman2:
Thank you again for taking time to test and respond.

I find the lack of hardware support (if that is indeed the issue) to be very surprising. The 680 is a 2022 chip. not supporting a popular encoding format these days just seems so unlikely and strange. It's also not something I thought I have to check before I buy a phone, and even if i would look it up I would find that it does support it.

If it is a driver issue, than who is responsible? Qualcomm or Xiaomi? And is there any way of fixing it? (i.e. some sort of custom driver or official update)
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Oifan:
I strongly believe it's just an issue of the Adreno 610 driver (so it will be fixed in a couple of days / weeks) -- check these 3 relevant info-pages:

https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_11-11336.php

https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/igpu-qualcomm_adreno_610-231

https://cpu-comparison.com/igpu/qualcomm-adreno-610/

Regarding who will fix it -- I believe it should be Google with the help of Xiaomi / Qualcomm.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] magman2:
I really hope you are right, although I am assuming this issue was present since the phone launched and it still has not been fixed after a few months. At least I now have hope that it can be fixed.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] lovinamn:
There are other phones that equipped with Snapdragon 680 4G, I wonder if they can play HEVC 10bit videos with hardware acceleration. Hope it can be fixed too.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] magman2:
Going by the list here: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Qualc...-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.611368.0.html there seems to be several phones using that chip, and I could not find a mention of anyone with an issue online. That does not mean that there is no issue, after all I couldn't find any mention of the problem on the Redmi Note 11 until I posted it here, and that phone has been out for several months already. If, as the poster above suggested, the video decoder is part of the GPU and not the CPU, then the list of devices with an Adreno 610 is even larger (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Qualcomm-Adreno-610-GPU-Benchmarks-and-Specs.434054.0.html), and I can't find any mention of an issue with those devices either.

Basically what I am trying to say is that the problem seems to be a Note 11 problem, but for some reason nobody posted anything anywhere until now. So we need people with any of the similar devices to report if by them hardware decoding is present. Meanwhile I contacted Xiaomi and so far they told me to use a third party video player if the built in app does not play my desired format. I'll report back if/when they start being more helpful.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] N0b0dyy:
Hello. I downloaded and played the video on my Note 11 in VLC. I didn't have any problems playing it.

View attachment 5645007
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] magman2:
It plays totally smoothly? By me this file stutters like crazy in VLC.

How about MX Player? Does it let you select hardware acceleration? (the HW button in thew corner)
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] N0b0dyy:
Yes it plays totally smoothly in VLC. I have tried MX player and there it stutters sometimes. And I tried selecting HW decoding and it showed that its not supported.

I am currently not on MIUI but on a custom rom.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] magman2:
Interesting. In other files I tried - all of which had a lower bitrate than the jellyfish file - VLC was able to hit mostly smooth playback, while MX Player still stuttered a bit.

So my conclusion: VLC has better software decoding than MX Player. Meanwhile, whatever rom you are using is more performant than MIUI, which allows the video players to squeeze more out of the CPU in software decoding compared to my phone which is running MIUI. Still, even by you, the underlying problem remains: hardware decoding is unavailable, which is unacceptable.

As a side note, update on my attempts to get some sort of acknowledgement from Xiaomi about the issue: I sent several emails to their support address. Somewhat surprisingly they responded to all of them, but in none of their responses did they admit there is a problem. They mostly deflected and gave me uncommitted generic answers (i.e. "try a third party video player" or "the Xiaomi devices supports MPEG4, H.264/AVC, H.263/3GP and RMVB and other video formats. With the development of technology, the usage of some uncommon video formats has declined, and most mobile phones on the market support common formats such as MP4"). I also reported the issue on the built-in feedback option. Not too hopeful about that either, but at least that one should reach an actual developer.

Anyway, if anyone has an idea of something else to try, or some sort of fix for the problem I'd be happy to hear.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Oifan:
I would recommend you to try to play several 10-bit videos + several 8-bit videos in mpv player (https://apkpure.com/mpv-android/is.xyz.mpv) and make screenshots of the bottom control panel when playing them -- see my screenshots below.

Then you can explain that for the 10-bit videos it's impossible to toggle the HW/SW rendering button and claim that you believe it's because of the present Adreno 610 driver is only supporting h265/HEVC(8-bit) and not 10-bit video streams (although the GPU supports it --> https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/igpu-qualcomm_adreno_610-231).
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] magman2:
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually attempted something similar. I sent them a screen recording of the issue, including the stuttering video and the error message it shows every time I try to set it to HW. Unfortunately, they refuse to acknowledge the issue at all, and keep giving me those vague answers. I also sent the video as part of my report in the feedback app, but I have no way of knowing if anyone will look at it.

Meanwhile, I decided to try a slightly different tactic. Using a new email address I sent their support an email saying I want to buy a Note 11, but I was wondering if it has hardware decoding for 10 bit hevc. Their response: "we regret to inform you that as of now we don't have any official information regarding this. Generally speaking, Redmi series phones will support common video decoding methods in the market, but lesser used decoding methods are not included for the time being." It seems they just will not commit to any answer no matter how you ask it. You'd think a company would know what their product can do.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Oifan:
Wow, you are quite resourceful I must say -- nice move... 👍

To me it looks like the development team (in Xiaomi / Google) is either behind schedule or can't keep up with the latest video formats -- so they are just bouncing emails like yours with a standard "not included for the time being" response.

Hopefully there will be more displeased (potential) customers complaining about this, creating sufficient pressure on these corporations so that they will be sufficiently motivated to add the missing codec support to the current graphics driver -- I guess this issue isn't only with Adreno 610, but with some other GPUs as well.

However, adding features to a graphics driver on any OS is a tricky thing -- they need to test the new driver thoroughly so that these additions won't cause any crashes... Meaning it will take some weeks or even months from the moment they decide to add this feature.
