see, i wasn't talking crap about htc hidden flicker under paint over grey bar in touch flo, now i discovered something worst, install a game called ATOMIC CANNON and go in play screen, before you go in actual play mode there is an option screen and thats grey ,similar to htc grey bar, this basically nearly whole screen flickers, don't tell me thats normal, o2 flame has no problem in this part of the game, come on htc do a real fix don't just paint over grey and say thats hotfix.
[Touch HD General] amnya:
That is right, i use an HTC Touch Pro, and whenever there is a gray background, the screen flickers at the bottom! WTF HTC!
[Touch HD General] clarket:
hi

i ve installed all the hotfixes, but my top bar is still flickering. its on the right side of the topic bar.

after the hotfix didn't fix this problem, i just think its a hardware problem...could this be ?

greets
[Touch HD General] stehnik:
I have the same problem hoping that somebody will help us..
[Touch HD General] Chrissssssss:
Have a look here

http://www.techmind.org/lcd/index.html

Might be what people are experiencing on the HD. The row/line inversion (which says is used on laptops and other low powered devices) makes the screen on my HD flicker. One of them will also make your PC monitor flicker.

I used to notice it on my SPV C500 on vertical scroll bars which have a similar sort of pattern.
[Touch HD General] asterix23:
Hi there! I have the same prob with my HD ((((( It flickers at volume settings tab an system stats... I have created test pics! Can some one test his device with them?
[Touch HD General] Chrissssssss:
Those are exactly the sort of patterns, alternate lines, that cause this flickering as that website that I linked to shows. It's not a problem as such, just the way these LCD screens work so they should avoid using backgrounds with lines like that.
[Touch HD General] asterix23:
Sure, but I think, that HTC uses different display types. That’s why some people do not have flickering devices! And they also wouldn’t take problem devices back, if they did not know about this issue, I think! :)

Try this I found on the HTC site

Hi all

I just purchased an Android head unit from Aliexpress for my car. Advertised as Android 11 - which the seller confirmed in a private chat message.

I installed the unit yesterday and first impression is very positive. Apple Carplay (via Zlink) works well. However, after downloading CPU-Z this morning, it shows Android Version 11 but API Level 29:

View attachment 5646145

Can anyone please help me understand? Did I receive what was promised? Or is it a fake?

Thanks and regards

Andy
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Its 99.9% fake - there is circulating firmware files where the sellers easily can choose to fake Android 10, 11 or 12 but in reality is most headunits only Android 10 or even lower than that.
[Android Head-Units] wolfandy77:
Thanks for the feedback !

Any way of determining what version it truly is?
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Well, there is several ways but the easiest for most users is using a fake device tester like this one:

Fake Device Test - Apps on Google Play

Exposes devices being sold with fake/false specifications, tests SD Cards.

play.google.com
[Android Head-Units] Mr.TT_NZ:
I'll give a +1 for 'Fake Device Test' as per the above post.

CPU-Z gets fooled by the fake file and (at least on my units) AIDA64 will display everything else but when you tap on the 'android' tab the app closes so I guess the Chinese couldn't fool it so they hook the call and force the app to crash instead.

Your version is higher than mine, mine show api 27 which is Android 8.1
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
File dispute, at least get a portion of your money back - don't allow them to scam buyers
[Android Head-Units] LR7875:
The real android version is Android 10
[Android Head-Units] wolfandy77:
Thanks all !

The seller is adamant that his version is Android 11. According to him, 'Fake Device Test' is incorrect as both in CPU-Z as well as his own systems screen it is reporting as Android 11 :ROFLMAO:

No comment from him on the API Level 29 (and he confirmed to me in a message before I purchased the unit that it would be 30).

So I guess I will have to open a Dispute through Aliexpress...

One other question: I see that the system does it an option for update. In your experience, do the Chinese guys actually ever issue updates?

My question is it worthwhile keeping a good relationship with the seller as I might get future updates from him? Or will this in any case not happen and I can burn the relationship and lodge the dispute?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Well... the seller doesn´t know anything about their devices. They just know what they read from the factory.

It´s clear Android 10 as API level 29 is Android 10, there are no questions about. Android 11 needs to be setup on API level 30.

Updates? You really think you will get OTA updates... You are a dreamer... :ROFLMAO:

The only way to get updates is by downloading if someone requested a new firmware and shares the information and the DL link.

In most cases you need to install all personal apps and settings after any update again, because the user partition is also formatted during the update.
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Lodge dispute, don't delay. The relationship is purely commercial and deal is over
[Android Head-Units] wolfandy77:
Thanks - was suspecting that ;)

The seller keeps repeating that my testing software is incorrect :ROFLMAO:

Will lodge dispute tonight

It's disappointing. Otherwise the experience with the seller was positive. Decent installation manual, swift response to questions, unit easy to install and completely Plug&Play, Zlink works well for Carplay. So can't say that I am unhappy with the unit per se. But receiving something that is not as advertised is a no-go

Thanks for everyone's help here !
[Android Head-Units] thecos77:
A bit off topic but can anyone quickly catch me up on the latest options for these head units? The last time I bought one was in 2018. What should I be looking for these days, and more importantly what configurations should I avoid?? Thanks
[Android Head-Units] wolfandy77:
This is what I bought (with Qualcomm CPU):

12.3" Android head unit on Aliexpress

Generally happy with it after a few days - just not Android 11 as advertised. But CPU, RAM, and storage as advertised. Unit is snappy and Zlink connection to Carplay works well. Have not tried built-in 4G
[Android Head-Units] thecos77:
Man that's expensive! I paid $400 for "ID6 UI 2GB+32GB android 7.1" back in 2018 and it stopped working after a year. The seller MEKEDE told me "bad luck" so it was money down the drain. Back then this unit was the only one available for my car, now there are more options but I'm trying to figure out the most stable one. I don't want to buy the latest and then have it break again.

On the topic of this post: You should definitely file a complaint for your situation. I have no sympathy for these resellers as they usually don't know what they are selling and then are very hesitant to rectify the situaiton. You paid a ton of money for what you got. You should at least get some of it back.
[Android Head-Units] Mr.TT_NZ:
Yes the sellers really have no clue, they probably really are convinced the displayed Android version is correct even though it obviously isn't.

The units I have are both 8.1, the ad for the first one said Android 10 and by the time I bought the second one the ad had been changed to say Android 11, the units are identical (good units though and the price was quite good).

You can be assured there will be no updates, again the seller will have no clue anyway, so don't hang on to the 'relationship' as there isn't one.

I suggest not trying to update your units from files you find on the internet unless there is some definite issue you need to fix as you're likely to add other issues that weren't there before.

@thecos77 can your unit not be fixed?
[Android Head-Units] wolfandy77:
Brief update: Lodged the dispute with Aliexpress, in which the seller still insisted that it is Android 11 and that the 3rd-party tools I used are wrong. Asked Aliexpress to step in and was awarded a 10% refund on total cost (incl. shipping).
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I am really tired about these fake versions. The seller have to learn that they are not selling to idiots.

10% is nearly nothing. I would have asked for complete refund because of selling those units. They need to feel real pain with each single unit they sell with faked firmware until they stop scamming people.

The same scam happens if they try to tell something about Android 9.1 or 10.1. In 2 months they start with selling faked Android 12.

The question is now: How can we prevent user from buying these faked units?
[Android Head-Units] LR7875:
Android 9.1 10.1 lol, it does not exist, I can do an ebay listing as well claiming I have a “windows 9 PC brand new *slightly used* “(If that wasn’t clear, I won’t become a scammer myself.) In a few days they will list an android 13 head unit on freaking the launch day of android 13.

I would have gone further and requests the taking down of the listing due to fraud, although no one may actually take it down.
[Android Head-Units] wolfandy77:
I asked for just over 20% refund (difference between a Android 10 unit and what I paid), the seller refused refund. I asked Aliexpress to step in and was awarded 10%. Don't think it's worthwhile trying to argue with Aliexpress - so I took what I could get...

Will still leave feedback on the product page - so that everyone can make an informed decision for themselves if they want to buy the item
[Android Head-Units] Mr.TT_NZ:
Yes make sure you state in your feedback what the actual Android version is so other prospective buyers can see before committing.

Having said that, the units I have purchased work just fine on Android 8.1 (api 27).
[Android Head-Units] DexterMorganNL:
Ah well: it's not like Android 8,9 or 10 doesn't do the job for a Android head-unit? It might be even be better, for some lower spec units to have an older Android version.

As the newest Android versions probably need some more RAM and a quicker chipset? It's not always the case, that a newer Android version would speed things up with lower spec units.

I saw all of these Android head-units are low spec units, although some 8 core units can perhaps be considered midrange? But even my Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite, has way better specs than any Android head-unit.

So I have just ordered a Quad-Core unit, which atleast has an 720P IPS screen and 2GB RAM/32GB storage. Most importantly it supports Apple Carplay and Android auto, in that case most of the processing finds place on your phone. Your android head-unit, than just functions like a screen to display Android auto or Apple Carplay.

But I'm going check as well, if my ordered Ekiy D7 has real Android 10 or fake. If it's fake a will just open a dispute as well, get some money back and finish. In the end it's just about compensation, because you would still be using the head-unit no matter what for kind of Android version it would be running.

If it wasn't for these topics on XDA, most buyers wouldn't even check if their head-unit have a fake Android version. Because most buyers don't care about this hahahaha.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I think you got me completely wrong....

The main issue is, that the consumer just looks for always the newest Android version. Some seller just manipulate their units to show the newest Android version. I personally don´t care if the unit is Android 8, 9 or 10, it just has to do what it is built for.... and it´s not to use it just as a display.

Whether Android Auto nor Carplay is something comparable with a good working head unit.

And it seems that you are not aware what these crutches are built for... They are built to be used in OEM units to may enable them to be more "state of the art" nowadays.

AA and Carplay are just simply crutches for a poorly functioning system. So if it is okay for you to use a crutch instead of a good working head unit... go for it, not my issue. ;)
[Android Head-Units] DexterMorganNL:
No I don't think I've got you wrong: but basically all Android head-units, which are sold on AlliExpress are in a way low specs units. They are just aftermarket systems which run on Android, but your smartphone is like 10 times as fast. Even the Lite version, of a high-end smartphone from 2 years ago.

But yeah displaying an fake Android version in advertisements in AlliExpress is misleading: because you might go with an seller, who claims it runs Android 11. While all other sellers, who sell similar units have it running Android 10.

The one thing I don't get when it comes to Android head-units: why is it important that it can play games and play YouTube, it isn't even safe to do so while driving. That's why an OEM system would never be able to do any of these things, as drivers in the end would actually be watching YouTube while driving the Autobahn for example....
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
No, you are not right.

There are a lot of different good working head units available. At least I would not buy head units on Ali... never. By the way... They don´t need to be as fast as any phone, because it is not important.

A 4-core unit is not doing this job flawlessly... They even are not able to have a deep sleep mode so that the unit is back after around 2 seconds after turning the key to ACC. You have to wait for at least 30 sec and more to see the main screen. That is really outdated.

Before you state that the deep sleep would tear the battery down: no they don´t if your battery is okay. I tested a couple of these units and measured the consumption in deep sleep. Good ones just use around 4-6mA/h at least the same as each OEM unit consumes.

Practice testing this year: 3 weeks parking at the airport without running into issues and keeping the radio in deep sleep.

Android 9 or 10 with an 8-core chip set and some 4GB memory is fast enough to do what they should do.

Navigate, play music from any source and do BT-calls in a proper way.

At least, there is no single reason to use AA or this annoying Apple stuff on a good Android radio.

You are right: It should not be possible to use YouTube and play games on these units. At least not on the main screen. Something different would be to allow this on back-seat monitors... but this is something different.

At least it should not be possible to workaround video watching while driving. The security mechanism is not good enough. Nowadays you just need to choose a setting in the system settings to allow that, or just ground the parking break cable. From my knowledge this is even against the law in the US to enable that.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
You should have a look on the formatting of your posting.

You mixed up your comments with mine. Really difficult to read. May be edit your posting.

To not buy from Ali means, that you mostly even don´t know who the seller is.

If you buy from Klyde directly or from Joying EU you know what you get and know whom to contact.

At least 99% of the seller on Ali are only seller. They even don´t know anything about their units and in case you have to claim an issue... you will be lost.

Android Auto is just a tool which is at least developed to provide any functionality to a bunch of different OEM radios. To feed a good running Android head unit with the restrictions of Android Auto... sorry, but this is nonsense. You are able to restrict the usage of the radio itself, as not allowing to play videos while driving. It is up to the user how he does it.

At least I did not read all your inline comments, because they are mixed up with my posting.

Hello, i did a fresh install on my P2, the system ui is working like fine, but sometimes is not working like a 60 fps. I checked the show fps box in developer, and when i am opening the settings from notification bar, the ui lag is visible, but it's a constant 60 fps, not a GPU releated problem. tried to change the animation speed but it doesn't help. After pressing the home button from settings menu, the animation starts, it remains freezed for 0.3 seconds, and it came home.

Is not rooted, so i can't check the core freq or profile. Battery is 83% and i'm charging.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] gherv1:
as i see even the charging animation have a little bit of lag, i'll try the L12 version now to check, i understand the latest and the greatest it might be a little bit sluggish for a device old like this, but as i know usually derpfest roms and custom roms runs smoothly. You did a great job! i am writing just a feedback :((

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] PsYk0n4uT:
Can anyone explain the mechanism that is used in these devices that keeps us from downgrading the bootloader and/or booting unsigned images?

Speaking of the usa snapdragon devices specifically but I'm sure that all the snapdragon devices probably have the same setup.

I'm just wondering why it's not possible to bypass this via a hardware mod if we are never going to be able to soft mod them to accept our modified firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] PsYk0n4uT:
Also. I'm sure this has been covered as well. But is there not any way to flash the snapdragon bootloader and rom from the devices outside the USA? Feom what I understand those snapdragon devices are bootloader unlockable. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

What would stop us from flashing those firmwares?
