[General Questions and Answers] lifeexperience:
I stumbled upon this article.. I'm in the market for a new phone.. I currently have a Vivo X90 Pro+.. and although the OnePlus 12 camera system would likely be a step down compared to the Vivo X90 Pro+.. but I was still considering the OnePlus 12 since it will get a global release next week..

I'm concerned about eye health just like anyone (maybe a bit more than the average person).. and I stumbled upon this article randomly: https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/oneplus-12-display

My question is.. is this article bull**** or some kind of paid advert? Or is there really something special and better for eye health about the OnePlus 12 compared to other 2024 flagship phones?

Thanks for any insights into this

p.s: did it already leak yet what the price will be for the OnePlus 12 1TB in the U.S? it comes out in 3 days right? I went on the web site and it mentions some pre-order offer.. but I don't see anywhere to actually pre-order it.. bit confusing..
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Absolutely.

Possible, can't say for sure.

If you want to protect your eyes, you have to do 3 things:

1. Use the light mode, except in pitch dark environments. Light mode is ALWAYS EASIER on the eyes than dark mode.

2. Avoid using the phone for too long, and especially in the dark.

3. Keep the brightness at a comfortable level always. This is usually around 40 to 50% indoors during the day and max brightness outdoors. Anything less will strain your eyes.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
@lifeexperience

While there is no definitive answer to your question, there is some evidence to suggest that ultra-bright displays may be harmful to our eyes.

One study found that people who spend a lot of time looking at bright screens are more likely to experience eye strain, dry eyes, and headaches. Another study found that exposure to blue light from screens can damage the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.

However, it's important to note that these studies are not conclusive, and more research is needed to determine the long-term effects of ultra-bright displays on our eyes.

My resume: Use a blue light filter on your devices.

hi guys .. what's up ??

I was wondering what happened with the video issue with our TyTNs ..

I mean we are not seeing any drivers lately ..

I beleive that after more than one year of its release the HTC does not even remember the problem ..

So is it impossible mission to come up with some real working drivers ??

I mean we saw some driver from some programmers .. I really thank the programmers for them .. but the truth is that I didn't notice any improvement with their dirivers .. cuz actualy the problem to me is just about the weak video playback capibilities .. and non of the drivers did solve it .. not even a minor improvment in the video playback performance ..

I'm really happy with my kaiser .. and I'm not even thinking in replacing it .. and I might not replace it unless it bricks or breaks or sth cuz I don't see any of the mobiles which came after it better than it ..

so the big question is ..

Will the problem find a sloution in the Future ?? will someone correct the crime which was our kaiser the victim of it ??

Regards
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] chiles:
Our phones are "Business" not "Entertainment" It looks like the poor 2d driver support is common with most if not all newer Windows Mobile phones. I looked for a few weeks online and didn't find any with drivers like the iPhone has.

:mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] alaamac199:
I agree that our phones are "Business" not "Entertainment" .. but as long as our phones can perform much better .. so where is the problem ??

Just think .. why to prevent them from doing their best instead of trying to make them much better ??

:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mazdabish:
Have you tried out the Samsung Omina D3D Drivers? They gave a bit of a improvement over the stock HTC Video Drivers, I don't have the link with me right now but i'm absolutely sure those drivers can be found with search.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] alaamac199:
Yes I did >>

I tried the Samsung D3D drivers and the HTC-CA drivers ..

but really minor change .. not noticable .. at least in video playback which I care about the most ..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] vikasraj:
Well i guess this is only the current solution we all have to rely on .....:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] dizzy33:
Did you remember when you opened the Kaiser box when you received it ? Around the Kaiser, there were symbols showing you that it was a multimedia device ... That's the way HTC sold it ! But they lied, it is very bad (the worst ?) in displaying videos and we all know that now.

Also, on their website, they talked about all the capabilities of the onboard processor (D3D, VGA videos playback, etc...) and they removed this webpage when everyone was complaining about the lack of drivers in the Kaiser ... I saved this webpage on my local PC before they removed it !!!

So NO, this device was not told to be only a business device, and again, HTC lied to us.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarZz_II:
Hello guys,

I open this thread because i am struggling to root my redmi A2 indeed since i bought it i tried my best to unlock the bootloader with no result so far.

I came to a point where, using the flash unlock application from xiaomi my unlock trys goes to 99% and than ask for Go to settings-> developper options-> mi unlock status to bind account.

The thing is i dont have this or any thing looking like a way to bind mi account to my phone. I could read that maybe developper ROM is needed to access these fonctionnalities but fastboot ROMS are available and this would make no sense to give access to fastboot roms without any way to unlock bootloader in order to flash these fastboot ROMS.

also if there is anyway to bypass the not working redmi flash unlock

If anyone know anything about it please inform :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krynyx:
The unlock process only can be done with an authorized mi account. Without that you can not unlock your device bootloader.

Every xiaomi device can create and access the mi account. If you don't see this option on settings app, its maybe that the app was disabled.

After installing a custom ROM or developer ROM, never unlock again the device. Never!!! (Its can be your case.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarZz_II:
Hey thanks for your answer.

Where could i see the disabled app ?

Kinda weird if the app is disabled when i am sure i didnt

The phone is brand new i couldn't unlock the bootloader once.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krynyx:
First of all... Have you enabled developer settings?

Have you searched for mi account in the settings app?

Have you tried to log in the xiaomi community app?

Apps for sync data is available?

How you are saying... your device is new. But all new devices shipped by xiaomi comes with MIUI and has mi account support.

But your device looks like a device with system modified...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarZz_II:
I have enabled developper settings

I searched for mi account.

i logged in xiaomi community app

apps for sync data are available i tried logged in aswell works fine

my device is new because i bought it and first thing tried is here unlock bootloader and no succes because as explain before no posssibility to add mi acc
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krynyx:
Okay! Thanks!

In this case you have access to the mi account.

Before you can unlock the bootloader, you need to request the permission to unlock. You need to wait 240 hours to try again to unlock your device. The account needs to stay in your device during this time, to you get the permission to unlock the bootloader.

To get the permission do you need to do:

- Log in mi account.

- Enable developer settings and toggle the "allow oem unlock" option.

- Try to unlock the device using the unlock tool.

- So the tool will tell you to wait ~240 hours to try again.

- Wait the time...

- Try again to unlock and your device will be unlocked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarZz_II:
So here is the problem i allready done all this but when i use unlock tools it stucks to 99% and ask for account binding and i cannot do that because i have no place where i can bind the account in parametres.

Did you even read the first message ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krynyx:
Yes! I read it! But you said me that you has successfully logged into your mi account on "mi community app" and "cloud apps", so its sounds that you have added your mi account on your device.

First off all: I know the process to unlock mi phones. I made it many, many times...

The process is:

- Add an mi account to the device.

- Enable "oem unlock" option on "developer settings".

- Put the device in adb mode and connect it on computer.

- In the unlock tool press the button to unlock.

- Made login in unlock tool with the same account.

- Confirm the unlock process.

- The device will be unlocked and restored to defaults settings (formatted).

If you can't see the "mi account" option on settings app, or in "accounts" options of settings app, and you can't add a "mi account" for "cloud apps", then your ROM is a custom ROM with locked bootloader.

Try downloading and installing the "mi account app" from the web.

A screenshot of your settings app will be great help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarZz_II:
Yeah i download in play store mi community app and logged into it.

When i check my profile in the app it is writed no devices linked to the account.

i couldnt find a cloud application in bloatware i was talking about an app called share-me but not sure i had to log in to use it.

The only bloatware in have related to Xiaomi are Mi video and Mint themes

As i said the phone is brand new.

You need to flash the device with oldest firmware first then unlock the bootloader using MTK client.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
did you find a way to make Redmi A2 an usable phone?

I also noticed the same exact problem. This phone does not have the ability to register as a device in your MI account.

There is no way to unlock bootloader officially through MI Unlock. Going to Fastboot to do it directly with commands dont work either.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvikrant97:
Unlock it using third party tools.

You need to downgrade the device first.

I'm going to buy this device just for the sake of making a tutorial.

I'll be receiving the phone by Thursday.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
what version do i need to downgrade it to? Do you by any chance know?

I've been messing around with mtkclient and sp flash tool, but both seem to lead to a dead end quite quickly because neither unlocks bootloader nor flashes patched boot.img successfully with the recent firmware versions.

Fortunately though, mtkclient and sp flash tool lets me recover the phone easily, so I was able to take the risks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvikrant97:
Fortunately I have bought the device myself to do the expirements and I will be writing a details guide on this by today.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
I saw the thread where you offered to help people. That's really kind of you.

I am very willing to share any problems/errors/issues to help you if you'd like. I currently am trying to find a fastboot ROM older than 14.0.3 because as you said in that old thread, MIUI patched it.

Redmi A2 has the same exact issue now. MTK says unlock successful, but nothing actually gets unlocked.

Also, I first used some older MTKclient through a youtube guide (not installed directly from MTK git hub), and that put my device into the dm-verity corruption bootloop. I can of course leave the device for 5s and it powers off, but if I try to continue booting, it will just keep rebooting.

fastboot oem cdms

does not get rid of it.

With my limited knowledge, I wiped in MTKclient:

python mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc

Then, I flashed the latest fastboot ROM with SP Flash Tool v5. Redmi A2 latest rom uses .txt scatter file, so i need v5.

I curiously tried to patch boot.img with magisk latest canary build, and after flashing that alone (no other partitions checked or flashed together, except flashing an empty vbmeta into vbmeta_a once but that lead to the same problem anyways) with mtkclient and/or spft, both got the device through the logo screen, but is abruptly interrupted by a message saying device is broken or something (i forgot exactly). The only option from there is to press power button to power device off..

Also, to connect to spft or mtkclient in BROM, I hold down vol- and vol+ together, then connect to usb. All the commands and processes needed to be ran first for mtkclient and spft, then hold vol- and vol+, connect to usb, and the tools will connect to the device and do their thing. Not sure if there is another way, but afaik, if you do any other combination of hw keys, it will just get it into the orange fastboot screen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvikrant97:
If you allow me to help you remotely I can do that as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
Thank you for offering to help. I'm going to try to figure this out myself for a bit. It's frustrating but also a fun experience. Meanwhile, I can share my experience to help those who encounter the same issues.

If I give up, I will definitely ask you to help me out. If I luckily manage my way around this, I will definitely share how I did it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
SP Flashing an older ROM definitely works. If MTKclient has already executed successfully:

python mtk xflash seccfg unlock

Based on my understanding, despite not unlocking successfully in the later firmwares, the exploit? the modification? will have already been made somehow. Once an older firmware is flashed, the device is immediately unlocked, and will show such during the subsequent boot up screen with that small unlocked lock icon at the top.

I used the Global 14.0.9 (released on March 15, 2023) Fastboot ROM. I referenced your post in september 2023 saying it no longer works in the recent update, so I just looked for a firmware that was released much earlier. It is also the earliest I could find.

This one, Global 14.0.10 will supposedly work too, but I haven't tried this one. Released in early april 2023. This site downloads much fast for me, so might be worth trying this one.

I flashed all the partitions, but left out userdata. However, the device will say something is corrupt on boot and suggest that I wipe data (factory reset). I did, and the device boots up properly.

My phone comes with the TW version, so it's nice to see I can hop to global without issues (at least for now).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
okay, I will try one myself, and give you the credit. I didn't know about mtk client until you mentioned it. And also, your mentioning of the MIUI august - september 2023 patch was crucial since it was a major turning point of this puzzle.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeiKaiTsai:
Still requires a firmware downgrade using SP Flash Tool. If someone ran the things in that guide/video and expected an unlocked bootloader, they will be in a world of mess.

It will get the Redmi A2 in a constant dm-verity corruption bootloop. You cannot fix it with "fastboot oem cdms" because the exploit has already been applied by mtkclient. Whatever is preventing the bootloader's unlock will mess with you and not let you get out of that bootloop.

At this point, relocking will not do you any good either. The only way is to flash a stock frmware on top of it, using SP Flash Tool.

I was one of those that got mislead by that video.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Terrum:
This is going to be a long one but I'll try my best to write up as short of a post about it as possible.

I've been getting unpredictable reboots and app crashes on my S8 - the first thing I did was format it from the recovery mode. It didn't solve it, so I replaced the battery - it also didn't solve it. The last solution I saw online was to reflash the firmware completely in case the prior reboots and app crashes caused corruption in the firmware, this was going to be a last resort before just getting a new phone.

However regrettably, after rushing into the custom OS feature (volume down, power and bixby) I didn't notice that the OEM lock was on, so when I tried to use ODIN the phone of course had red text saying that the OEM lock was on. Now it is stuck on 'An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software'.

Unfortunately the Smart Switch software didn't help either, as when I go through with the 'Emergency recovery function' it says that the device is not compatible with firmware updating and initialization (?)

So I'm a little stuck now as I can't get ODIN to throw a ROM at it, I can't get it back into recovery mode, as soon as the battery drains I plug it in a charger whilst holding 'volume up, power and bixby' in a desperate attempt to get it into recovery mode so I can disable the OEM lock or bootloader or such, but it just goes straight to the emergency function.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Terrum:
OK a little progress. I fixed the 'An error has occurred while updating the device' issue with FRP HiJacker by Hagard, using their SoftBrick fixer. I then booted into the phone, disabled OEM lock, enabled USB debugger, went straight back to download mode and tried to install a stock ROM from Samfw.

Now it fails on 'SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RADIO)'.

Any help is still extremely appreciated! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Terrum:
I ended up just installing the TWRP recovery and then the LineageOS ROM. For some reason I cannot install any stock ROM without it hitting a 'SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RADIO)' message.

Anyway, even with the custom ROM there are still unexpected shutdowns and apps crashing or no longer working so I assume the issue is deeper.

This thread can be considered resolved now. I will make a new thread as to not conjest this one with irrelevant information.
