[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Simon1511:
If this is actually the error message then your phone is not an A520F. A520F doesn't have/support vbmeta (avb) and it's therefore impossible for it to get this error.

I assume you mixed up model numbers here: A520F is Galaxy A5 2017, but there's also A525F which is A52 4G.

Either way, please make sure to follow the correct guide to install TWRP on your phone by making sure your phone's model number matches with the one mentioned in the guide.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] chr1sen:
sorry totally mixed up the model number with my gfs phone, the correct phone is A31, I obviously missed the disable vbmeta step, but computer no longer recognizes the device :(

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Simon1511:
You'll need to force reboot your phone into download mode. Currently with the error message it looks like download mode but doesnt do anything apart from showing the error.

You can force reboot by doing the following:

- Connect your phone to a PC

- Hold Volume down and Power for around 10 seconds (until the screen turns black)

- Immediately release both keys

- Hold Volume Up, Volume Down and Power to get into download mode

You might need a few tries as the timing is important.

Does anyone know of any Android units that have 4 or 5-volt RCA's? There is only one that I can find so I assume most brands just have 1.5-2V?

Maybe you should just try a different browser :)?

Did that already - IE, Opera, Safari, Firefox

No worries though, got it working on the neighbour's laptop, using opera - IE and Firefox didn't like it on his either.

Sorry to bother you chaps,

General Info: TCL S Series Roku TV Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra No home internet

I recently got a new tv. The 1st day I got it, I couldn't get Smart View to work, like the name of the tv didn't even show up on the phone. I tried it again later and it worked. I used it for like a week and now it won't work again omegle xender.

I've been using my phone's hotspot, but I'm out of the high speed hotspot, so it's getting pretty slow and spotty. If I can't figure this out I guess I'll have to go back to using an HDMI cable and adapter. That's what I did with my old dumb TV.

I'm going to cross post to the subs for Samsung and Roku.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] james_lpool:
Hi, Just got UI 6.0 update today. I have 2 screens on my home screen and had them set to continuously scroll.

I tried going into home up to see if this had switched off after the upgrade, but when i go into it, just says congratulations on your operating system upgrade.

There doesn't seem to be any updates for good lock or home up.

Is this now a feature that's incorporated into the main settings now, i can't find anything.

Regards

James
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I haven't received the update from the beta to the stable comma but in the beta, many of the good lock options are not working for me, including home up I'm guessing this still needs to be updated.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Where is the setting
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] james_lpool:

Home up is part of Good Lock and is not supported UI 6.0 for the time being as other part (apps) of good Lock . F.e registar support ui6.0 , but home up not yet. That's why you have this issue
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Registrar is not supporting OneUI 6.0 yet. It does 'work' as it maintains menu order as set in OneUi 5.1, but crashes when you try to modify 'Menu order and group settings'. It definitively requires an update.

An updated version of Home Up is not yet released in stores, but is made available in this post...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zoman7663:
I saw this behavior of Registrar as well, after clearing data then uninstalling and reinstalling it worked fine with the ability to reorder settings menu and back tap feature, without any crash. v1.0.43 for 6.0
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Thanks, but just tried this (delete data, clear cache, uninstall - reinstall). Option to change menu order still does not work and app crashes... Other options did/still do work.

Addition: even though I deleted data and emptied cache, my old menu order is still there when I switch on this option. When I try to change menu order the Registrar app crashes...

Last update was in August. It definitively needs an update...

Update 4 nov: Registar is updated for OneUI 6.0, version 1.0.47 in Galaxy Store

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] james_lpool:
My good lock was updated visa the galaxy store this morning, home up is working fine again now, so have been able to set the loop page setting I wanted.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Today Registar updated to v1.0.47 and now fully working...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] james_lpool:
It's there still little issues with this? I updated and was working fine, every now and then, the home page looping stops working though and have to restart phone to get it working again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ser8210:
Hi.

The quickest solution without the need for reboots is to freeze and unfreeze the home up. There are several applications to do this but I recommend the app manager debug. Once the work mode is configured in wireless debugging and once paired, the process does not even take 15 seconds.

Hi. I'm looking for feedback from users in similar situation.

My device came with "fake global" ROM v14.0.4. and unlocked bootloader. I'm unable to update it OTA or manually, so I'd l like to flash it using Mi Flash tool and latest Global Fastboot ROM.

I've read about users with bricked devices and locked bootloader as a result, in some cases.

Have you had success flashing your Pad 6?

Thank you for you input!
[Xiaomi Pad 6] reg66:
As long as the bootloader is, and remains, unlocked you should be fine. In the mi flash tool, in the bottom right corner are options to select the type of flash you want. Just be SURE you uncheck the 'flash all and lock' option. Or, in case you forget, just do as I do and once you have extracted the tgz file twice to reveal the images etc folder for flashing in mi flash, delete the 2 flash_all_and_lock.bat + .sh files. That way even if you forget to deselect the option in mi flash, it can't/won't run.

BUT...

Why don't you just download latest global recovery rom and flash it manually in MIUI on tablet?

Latest is V14.0.8.0.TMZMIXM

You just copy that file to root of device storage or in downloads folder. Go to settings/About tablet/MIUI version and tap the MIUI version logo until it you get a message that 'additional update features is on', then tap the 3 dot menu in top right corner and select 'choose update package'. Navigate to your copied file on device and install. Much safer
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Medomish:
I will give it a try, but I think this is what I tried once, and could not do it. Some error did pop up, forgot which one.

But thanks.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] reg66:
After enabling the additonal options to update, there should be created folder 'downloaded_rom' in downloads. Try putting the update file in there
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] james_lpool:
Hi, just updated to One UI 6.0 today.

Is the quick panel now supposed to be just greyed out and not blue on the things that are on?

Just looks a bit weird if that is how it is now, or is that a known bug?

Do you have the Xiaomi mi 11 ultra and are you keeping it or upgrading to an alternative handset. I have come from an s21 ultra 512gb to the xiaomi mi 11 ultra 512gb.

What do think of this device in 2023 does the sd 888 hold up has anyone tight about swapping to a pixel 7 pro.

Hows your battery.

Are you liking the camera.

Feel free to give me your thoughts as its quite lonely in this forum 😂
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] unavix:
I have been using Mi11Ultra for 2 years. I would never buy a phone with a curved screen again. Mi 11 Ultra does not have community development support due to the rear display. Xiaomi will not release the source codes. The MIUI superstructure is a pain in the ass. Photos and videos make the phone excellent, the processor performance is sufficient. Battery life is tragic. The design of the phone is still impressive. My next phone will be a Pixel.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] picitup:
I'm still in love with my Mi 11 Ultra. The sole reason for buying it was the camera. All phones can make calls, send texts/whatsapps etc. but the camera is crucial to me. It did score very high on DXOmark, but is now falling behind as you might expect for an older phone.

However, I can't find a camera phone I like better so far. Ignoring DXOmark for a second, when I'm out, friends/relatives are always asking me to take the pics as my phone camera is 'so good'.

Things I really like are:

1) low light performance (night mode) is out of this world. If there is SOME light, it will take a good pic.

2) The 5x optical zoom is a dream for taking a lot of photos. Particularly wild animals. You don't have to get 'in their face' and scare them off. Newer phones only seem to have something like a 3x optical zoom.

3) The screen is nice and high resolution. It's not 4K, but close.

4) It multitasks really well. When I go driving, I'm running the satnav, dashcam app in 4K, and music over bluetooth. Just works!

My laptop is a bit old and croaky, but..... The phone has a faster processor, better screen and at 512GB, more storage space. On my list of things to do are check out 4K and 8K video.

I'm not a heavy user, for example a gamer and have set the phone to turn off at night and back on in the morning. Using this method, the battery lasts all day. Longer battery life is always good, but I've got chargers at home, in the car and a power bank if none are available. Even when the battery is on it's knees, Ultra Battery Saver offers quite a few extra hours without crippling the phone.

Anyway to answer the OP's question, after some research, I'll keep the phone for now.

Cheers

Steve
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] picitup:
oh! Forgot to mention the downside..... It has a tendency to overheat when thrashing it, despite all the sales blurb about heat sinks and dissipation, it tends to overheat. This is particularly bad in the summer in the car while driving and the sun is beating down on the phone.

A couple of times it's locked up and come up with an overheat message. I thought I'd killed it, but it cooled down and then worked fine. I did think about fitting a fan in the car for the phone lol. Air cooled phone? 😂😂😂
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] vip57:
the phone is amazing but the overheat problem is serious

my wifi just got broken because wifi chip is inside the cpu and got damaged by heat
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] poldask75:
I have tried in my find to have a better phone but mi 11 ultra camera is just still amazing i have taken pictures in concerts ,birds ,videos, slow motion ,time lapse ,the zoom is amazing ,the back is luxurious ok i would like better battery but the charging speeds are more than fine .......I have bought the phone (used) 450 euros if for the same camera i have to almost double that money....NO WAY
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] LÃ¤t:
Could you guys tell me what camera apps you are using? The stock camera is really not satisfying in my opinion. I am using a gcam with M23i xml, where i got the best results yet, but this version is stuttering a lot when i do some pictures in a row, what is really annoying. Also what settings do you use for night pictures, my results always look really poor.

I know that i am very likely not using the apps properly, so i would really appreciate if you could give me some tips.

Thank you in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] picitup:
For the post above:

---------------------

I always use the stock app and am happy with it. Also I find the low light performance amazing! With very little light, the pictures come out like it was daylight. Do you get a small toast message on the screen saying "Night Mode"? Mine kicks in automatically. If you don't, if you click on "More" there's an option to set it manually along with another bunch of options.

If you need more advanced stuff, I like OpenCamera which I've used for various things, like time lapse etc.

For the original post

-----------------------

As 2024 approaches I still really like my Mi 11 Ultra. I'm very happy with the picture quality and so are my family and friends. Because of this, I'm often asked to 'do the photos' at events.

Battery life has never been a big issue for me. I'm not a heavy user, or gamer and have USB power all over the place, at home, in the car and of course a slim power pack I always take with me.

I also really like the 5x optical zoom which I use a lot. It's great for pictures of animals as you don't have to get 'in their face' to get a good shot, scaring them off. When I bought it, it scored really high on dxomark, but is now demoted to 18th place.

I'd be interested in upgrading, but the one feature I really like, the 5x optical zoom is hard to find. Many are around 3x. What I'd really like is a 5x and 10x optical zoom, to get those pics that are just a bit too far away.

On the subject of zoom, has anyone had any success with the clip on lenses you can buy? I've tried a few and they all seem to be cheap Chinese tat. The quality is sooo appalling they are unusable. I recently bought one with 80x zoom and BAK4 glass. Both lies. The Chromatic Aberration was something else. No problem for a full refund though.

I'd like to buy a Xiaomi again, but can't find one that meets my needs.

As mentioned above, I often run satnav/music/dashcam while driving this works well, but overheating is an issue, particularly in the summer, when it did overheat, it displayed a message to say so and stopped working. I thought I'd killed it but no, once cooled down it worked fine.

Maybe I should fit a fan to the dashboard? 😂

Worthy of mention is the storage. Mine is 512GB and I've used around 256GB of that with a bunch of films and music tracks. Streaming is fine, but a bird in the hand.... Of course, more is always nice and 1TB is tempting..... Also a true 4K screen. The Ultra is almost there....

If anyone has changed phones from the Mi 11 Ultra, I'd be very interested to find what you chose and why.

Cheers

You need use lib m23.so and m23i.xml, and must use only 1 sgcam matteo update.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
Agree, Agree, and Agree, can i add 1 more Agree?!

i was tempted to buy Mi 13 ultra with camera kit, or to buy Huawei mate 60 pro. but still hesitant to change my device, so happy with it. even though i cracked the screen and i replaced it by my self. then i lost Wifi, and did the reballing (in a service centre) and now its back amazing, did under water shooting and was AMAZING. the only bad point is the overheating ONLY while using camera app.

camera app is really nice, i tried GCam, in some features it is better with GCam, but in general the stock camera app (updated to chinese version stock camera app of mi 11 ultra) is better in overall.

Pro in camera give us ASTONISHING photos, but takes a bit more time to take the shots. and still quick photo shoot is amazing, with the help of google photos (premium) enhancer will make photos sharper and more rich, so it would cover when needed (so rare to need it).

i think i'll stick with this device until 14 ultra or something really astonishing comes out.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] vip57:
can you explain where to have the chinese version of miui camera app and why it's better? thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
Check for Miui camera app updates, just google it, and you'll find multiple versions that are compatible with mi 11ultra, they have fixed bugs, better performance like shutter speed, and little bit of tuning of colours compared to un-updated version. right now, latest is 4.5.002890.0

google it and try it.

do not go with anything above 5, because it is not compatible yet with the mi11ultra.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] picitup:
Yes that is a serious problem. Not so bad for me though as it's only been an issue running 3 apps (including camera) at the same time while driving in the summer with the sun on the phone.

I've recently downloaded a dashcam app which I ran from Norwich to Dover (180 miles) and it was fine. A little warm, but nothing scary. After saying that, it was an issue at higher frame rates. I dropped the frame rate down to 14fps which is fine for a dashcam and addressed the heating issue. See how it goes in the summer!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] picitup:
Thanks for this. I checked and my app was pretty old, at 4.3.002421.0 and there's a few updates here:

https://en.xiaomitoday.it/update-xiaomi-miui-camera-app.html#xiaomi_miui_app_fotocamera_v450028900

I've just downloaded V4.5.002890.0 so will install and give it a bash later and report back. Improved night mode? ye gods! It's already mind blowing! 🎈🎈🎈
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
too late, there is V4.5.003000.2 little minor improvements :)

good luck :)

Thanks! 😁
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Alcibiade:
I just moved to a Pixel 8 Pro one day ago. Wasn't sure if I wanted to make the move but with 40% discount on the Pixel 8 Pro I just couldn't resist (Offer valid for Google Play Gold or above in the US Google Play store until end of this year)

Happy to share a few first impressions (very subjective):

* After complaining about the 11 Ultra weight, I find the P8P too light 😂 and to some extent I miss the ceramic back (which is a significant contributor to the weight)

* Too early to tell but I feel my 11U had a slightly better battery life (Using both in battery saving mode)

* I miss the override of Xiaomi Dark mode (That renders app in dark mode even if they don't have a dedicated one). Wasn't perfect but at least the experience was more homogeneous across appas (And could be disable where it was not good...)

* Modem not as good on P8P for wifi and 5G (Seem not to catch signal as well but it's a little bit early)

* Charging feels atrociously slow compared with the Xiaomi. I knew it would be slow but didn't realize it would be that painful to accept.

* The P8P is in general faster for pretty much everything, especially the GUI

* Camera is definitely better on P8P (Snappier, better quality of pictures). The 11U is great but starts to show its age

* Screen brighter on P8P

I am curious to see what Xiaomi comes up with with the 14 Ultra. But 12 and 13 where big letdowns on the camera side. I am actually more excited by the upcoming Oppo X7 and again without this promotion would probably have waited for it to be out before deciding (On DXOMark the X6 is ranked at the same level as the P8P)

Hope this helps 😊
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] picitup:
Hi @Alcibiade

Thanks for taking the time to post this up. I read it with interest. As we all know, the 11u is ageing now.

I'll take another look at the p8p and will be interested to see the Oppo X7 and what they come up with. Like you, I was disappointed in the 13 camera specs, so will wait and see what the 14 has to offer.

If you have time, please do post up any more thoughts on your new phone and we'll all benefit 😁

Cheers

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Alcibiade:
Battery seems to be a bit better with time. As usual it takes a bit of time to settle. Camera is really outstanding. For the rest, the charging really bothers me 😂

But the screen is really really really nice (And I did like my 11 Ultra screen)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] picitup:
It's good to hear the camera is so good. I'm very happy with the 11u, but always keen to improve. Super fast charging is very nice, but personally, I'm not that bothered about charging speed. I have USB chargers, mains sockets with USB ports, a cigarette lighter charger in the car and a slim power bank, so pretty much covered for low battery.

I think you've almost convinced me. I'm going to take a long hard look at the p8p and will report back what I think. Is the night mode as good as the 11u? I think the 11u is pretty impressive!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Bobfish:
How's the audio quality with wired/BT headset?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Alcibiade:
I think the night mode is even better (Subjectively)

What matters to me on my phone is the camera (I also have a decent DSLR) and frankly I find the P8P very good (For a phone). And I did love my 11 Ultra that really impressed me. But the P8P is better

If you are in no rush, wait to see the 14 Ultra and the Oppo X7 Pro. They may be even better than the Pixel (And closer to the 11 Ultra for other aspects)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] picitup:
Hi again. WOW! better than the 11u? That is impressive! I'm in no great panic to upgrade, but realise it's now an older phone and thought I might be able to improve. I'll wait for the 14 ad the X7 I think, but if I get impatient, will probably go for the p8p.

Like you, the sole reason I bought the 11u was the camera. I mean, they all make calls/texts/whatsapps don't they? I certainly haven't been disappointied, but the temptation of something even better is great.

Hopefully I'll get some free time over the xmas break to do a bit of research.

Once again, thanks for taking the time to share such useful info 😁

Cheers

Steve
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] picitup:
Ok so I've had a poke around and on paper, the camera specs of the p8p look good. I think I mentioned the 5x optical zoom on the 11u and have been disappointed that many new offerings only offer 3x zoom, but the p8p is 5x like the 11u, so all good. Specs on paper are ok, but it's been good to hear someone's views on the quality of the camera, especially from someone with a DSLR 😁

I see on dxomark, the 11u is 18th place and the p8p is 5th, but not much difference between 5th and 1st, so I don't care much lol.

I also see the p8p offers fairly decent storage, up to 1TB. Of course I want more, but my 11u is 512GB and I've only used 270GB so far, so 512GB will probably do me for another year if I'm honest.

Hmmm..... Buy a p8p now or wait? Thinks........

Have a good xmas everyone....

Cheers

Steve
