[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CZ Eddie:
First off, the only way I'll upgrade next year is if Google adds the aptX Adaptive codec to the phones for low-latency Bluetooth sound performance.

The only reason I "upgraded" this year is because I needed a smaller phone and a brighter screen.

Just sharing some very un-scientific comparison testing for your amusement.

Maximum Brightness, SPL, weight and file-transfer speed compared.

Weird pictures are taken with an old GoPro Hero 7.

I didn't want to change my hiking camera settings, so the pics look odd.

It's hard to see in this picture but the P8 had a slightly "warmer" color.

LUX readings with normal indoor room lighting (absolutely meaningless test).

P8 = 125 LUX

P7P = 246 LUX

LUX readings with extremely bright ZebraLight flashlight shining directly into light sensors.

I freaking loved the Pixel 7 Pro. It's a fantastic phone.

I'm only "upgrading" because as mentioned, I need a smaller, lighter phone and a brighter screen is a huge need for me.

If it weren't for these two things, this wouldn't be worth the upgrade.

What was the default music player you used loved reading what you did thank you
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CZ Eddie:
No idea? Whatever the default player is in factory stock Google Android 14 on Pixels.

It doesn't show me a name when I play a music file.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CZ Eddie:
It looks like Pixel 8 holds brightness for longer than Pixel 7 Pro.

Left both phones out in the 90*F sunlight and P7P very quickly dimmed to 75% of max brightness while P8 remained at max brightness for at least 3-4 minutes.

Oddly though, the P7P was easier to see during the first minute even though the P8 was brighter.

And the P8 had a purple tint to it.

Then, P8 was about twice as bright as the P7P for the remaining 7-8 minutes I was outside. And the P8 was easier to see. After that, both dropped to about the same brightness, which was really dim. I'll try to do some better testing and provide pix later.

Took the dogs for a walk at noon and occasionally whipped the P8 out of my pocket.

Every time it seemed brighter and easier to read than the P7P used to.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxlcfox:
after attempting to reflash CrDroid my phone refused to boot. I kept trying to flash the img file and even redownloading the img file but it didnt work.

a friend on discord recommended me to reflash my kernel if I had a custom one so I reflashed the siberia kernel which didnt work. after a bit of bootlooping it wouldnt let me into TWRP so I just gave up for the day and plugged my phone in to be greeted by error mode :

Attention! pleas update system again

func NO : 10 (boot image)

func NO : 2 (load failed!)

edit : so XDA forums doesnt really work well on my end at all (it might be my ad blocker) and I just saw the unbrick post. Ive attempting un-bricking it with said thread and I still have no luck. Ive managed to get into fastboot with hisuite recovery and the thread did manage to give me access to twrp again but I still cant boot into android/system and reflashing still leaves me boot looping

[Asus Zenfone 9] Pierfranc:
Coming from a nice and stable Samsung galaxy S9. Just got Zenfone 9 256/16 GB. Performance are nice, near the top but .....so many issues. The front cam in Facebook is trash, very very garbage. In some social media apps is very bad. And it is supposed to be used in social. Why? Why so many differences compared to the stock camera app? The main camera on Instagram seems to not have any quality issues, but it's slow in low light and with flash. Takes like 3 or 5 second to take photo. Why so different from the stock app. Also touchscreen is not so accurate, nav bar buttons on bottom are too small and many times it's difficult to press them. The 4k 60 fps video are 59 fps and not 60 because during recording it freezes for some frames.

Another issue is, trying to press continually delete button on keyboard, it will skip some touches, and will not be smooth.

If I am not able to fix these issues I have to return the phone and overall it is not bad, it would be probably the best phone. I could tolerate the oversharpening because camera is good, also if not so steady with photos.

If anyone knows how to fix these bugs or if there is a good stable custom ROM to try, I would know it.
[Asus Zenfone 9] landsome:
Funny, I have none of your issues... I think you got a lemon.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Pierfranc:
Really? That would be awesome. It means that after a repair the issues would disappear. But I don't know if you really checked for any of them. Do your videos recorded in 4k 60 FPS are really 60fps? Download the app mediainfo to check it. Also you should try to take a photo in the dark with frontal camera from the main camera and then try it with Instagram or Facebook in-app camera to see the differences, in social network the the camera shoots bad photos. Also, do your microphone have issues during calls? Many times from the other side they can't hear and putting headphones they can. Also notifications are delayed, a message notification can be shown after 5 hours or more.

Then try to use navigation buttons and press fast many times the recent button, it would be bugged and start to not work anymore. Sometimes doble tap recent button doesn't change the app. Also I have noticed that after leaving the phone untouched for a while, the first touch sometimes doesn't work and have to press it again. I found also others but trying these would be a proof if the most of phones have these issues or not
[Asus Zenfone 9] landsome:
I have tried all of these things except social media photos in the dark. No problems. Touch is perfectly fine. The mic issue was solved a year ago.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Pierfranc:
This is my discussion on Asus forum https://zentalk.asus.com/t5/zenfone-9/zenfone-9-issues/td-p/394373 and I uploaded also the issues I have found. You can check if you have some of them as in the video and pictues. And does mediainfo app tells that the video recorded in 4k 60 FPS are 60 FPS? Because mine are always 59 FPS or less

[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] universelight:
Hi!

Is there any electrical difference between OTG Cable (USB-C -USB-A) for Samsung Galaxy phone and for other manufacturer phone?

Have you had OTG Cable (USB-C -USB-A) that worked with non-Samsung phone, but did not work with Samsung Galaxy phone or otherwise?

Is there an electrical diagram for (USB-C -USB-A) OTG cable for any Samsung phone?

Is there a general thread on OTG cables for Samsung/Galaxy phones?

Any advise what OTG cable to buy in US besides original? (for S21FE)

Aliexpress.us/.com or say Chinese seller on eBay are fine.

2-in-1 cable (i.e. with 2nd charging cable) is preferred (example of what I'm looking for)

There's plenty of OTG cables Aliexpress, but most sellers say their cables not compatible with any Samsung phone (or refuse to give clear answer about compatibility). Wonder why is it?

Some piece of cable (i.e. not purely solid/1-piece adapter case) is important as I have a thick case and 1-piece adapter may not fit into USB-C).

It has Snapdragon 888.

Thank you!

Hello,

I have a problem with my new Motorola Edfge 40 Pro.

It happened 3 times in the last 10 days that the device stopped responding and I could only turn it on by long pressing the power button.

The whole thing always happened in the morning (so the alarm clock didn't work :( ).

At this point the device is always on my wireless charger - maybe there is a connection to this? I will test it by charging the device via cable.

However, I don't have much time left for the test as I only have the device until November 6th. can send back (no, I will not send a new device for repair).

Has anyone of you have similar experiences?

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] FuntasticBeast:
I have a POCO X3 Pro (Bhima) which got dead and I got the motherboard replaced under warranty. I wish to flash custom ROM on it but stuck as not able to unlock its bootloader with the MI Unlock tool.

I have USB debugging ON, MI account linked in the MI Unlock status section and SIM card inserted as well, but the unlock tool says the device is not activated.

I think the issue is MIUI 14, and the unlock tool is not updated yet to unlock BL on MIUI 14.

My other guess is that since the change of motherboard, the device is not getting activated due to new IMIE numbers on it.

If anyone else has been able to unlock BL on MIUI 14, please help. I can't even roll back to MIUI 13 without unlocking BL.

Thank you.

Have you activated Xiaomi location and the phone is discoverable here?

Xiaomi Cloud

Sync your contacts, messages, photos, notes, and other items with Xiaomi Cloud to be able to access them from all connected devices. Use Find device to locate or remotely erase data on your device if it's lost.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] FuntasticBeast:
I had added the MI account and Find my device on Google was ON. Now I tried with Xiaomi cloud account and its location service ON, and check if it is discoverable. It is visible but still I'm getting the same error.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
Lots of reports on this subject currently, it probably comes from Xiaomi.

It worked for some.

Deactivate all settings concerning unlocking in options for DEV then disconnect the Xiaomi account on the phone then delete the device from your Xiaomi account (PC) then create a new account by defining USA as the country (PC), restart the phone and activate your new account and start the procedure again.

Otherwise some tips here:

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] FuntasticBeast:
Yeah, I tried too but did not work. I'm used to stock android and minimal clean roms, but now I'm stuck with MIUI. It definitely has reduced my screen time cuz I just can't stand the skin, can't even use gesture navigation with third party launchers, color calibration is bad. Probably I'll try unlocking it later, hoping xiaomi fixes the tool.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] DarkKrypt:
I dont think its a case of fixing the tool, ive read here somewhere the reason we wait 7 days is possibly because 3rd party sellers of xiaomi phones cant mass unlock and install custom roms etc.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] FuntasticBeast:
168-hour waiting time is not the issue here, it was always there, and after the waiting period was over, the device was unlocked. That was the standard process always, or at least for past few years.

The tool is not identifying the device as activated, which seems to be a problem here, since it is happening to multiple users. I think it can be fixed on Xiaomi's end only.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] DarkKrypt:
Ah i see, thats no good.

Have you waited additional few days after the 168 hours and tried clicking a few time to unlock the poco x3 pro in the mi tool? Someone has mentioned to try that in a thread somewhere here.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] FuntasticBeast:
Well, coincidentally I tried it a few hours ago today. Sadly it didn't work. I'm gonna keep trying it every once in a while hoping they will fix it in near future.

Meanwhile I debloated MIUI to the extent the dialer and contacts apps stopped working!! Had to restore a few packages in order to get it working again.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ip75:
Spoiler content hidden.

I guess this is a bug of latest MIUI 14 update
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] FuntasticBeast:
I hope it will be fixed in the next update, if there is going to be any.

Even if Xiaomi will be releasing an update, I'm not sure I'll be able to update since my updater keeps stopping [image attached]. I wonder if this was intentionally done while replacing the motherboard so that it doesn't get dead after a new update.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Updater is like an app, so the problem could be system software problem.
