That's strange, never had that problem...

Maybe you can find an emergency external battery, seen them around, they use AA batteries to charge your Hermes and can be used anywhere. They do get hot though due to the massive drain and the batteries are good only for 1 shot.

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
Or you could look for one of the extended batteries. I use my phone for work, and can make many calls a day, use it with my bluetooth gps (it will be on constant for up to an hour), I look things up in pdf files, and do excel and the occasional word file, email, and text messages. I don't think I have ever ran the extended battery below 50% in one days use!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] taz357:
@ Ray_jai:

When I first got my phones (Hera100 & Hermes 100) I let both come up to a full charge and then let then drain down to empty, to make sure the battery would not have a dead space when it recharges. Make sure if you get a spare battery you do the same so it won't discharge prematurely while using your phone.

Now I don't understand about the radio because i've never had that happen to me but I do get about 5 hours of talk time since I've had both phones and yes-I let the batteries drain completely. I usually have video viigo ie and the camera apps (one up and the rest in the background) until it shuts itself off and then install the backup battery. If the date rolls back, just put it back (along with the time of day of course).
[Xiaomi Pad 6] ThomasAstor:
Hi All

I've purchased a Xiaomi Pad 6 4 months ago. 8GB / 256GB Global rom installed. 23043RP34G

Had to wait3 weeks to get it as I suppose they had wait to open the bootloader.

Looks good, seems to work well, OTA etc..

But from day one, the screen was flickering when using Insta, Twitter or MXPro, annoying.

Then the screen started the flash more and more then got black.

No way to revive it. Yet I could hear the film playing behind it.

So the only way to activate it was/is to force restart.

I contacted the seller and been told to do a factory reset. Done it twice without changed.

My phone is also a Xiaomi and never had any trouble with it.

It works well apart this problem and not really looking to install another rom, well maybe the European one as in the UK.

In your opinion, what could be the problem(s)?

Thanks TA
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Zxalilh:
I suppose it's a hardware problem. You need to get the screen changed.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] ThomasAstor:
Could it come from the global rom installed by the seller?

Would re-installing another rom fix the problem? I've: Europe

Just asking..
[Xiaomi Pad 6] ThomasAstor:
When I say the screen is flickering, I mean that it works normally (it can be for few minutes) and after a while it starts the get black for a fraction of a second, then gets worse and more often, then gets black.

I use the Nova launcher which I know can create nuisance.

So I tried the original one, but the problem appeared after a longer while too.

I also use the Pixar icons, which I like much and cannot stand the standard ones.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Zxalilh:
Try installing the original ROM.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] ThomasAstor:
I will install the Europe rom via adb and fastboot, using a mac.

Do I need to install the OTA too for updates?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Zxalilh:
Can you boot into fastboot without having the screen flicker? That could help us determine if it's a software or hardware problem.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] ThomasAstor:
Yes it can and does it without problems.

I've done a hard reset. It went well for at least an hour.

Then I installed Facebook. Worked fine for few minutes and play a video on Facebook.

It started to flicker again and got the black screen.

So I believe it's a software problem.

I intend to install the Europe rom with adb and fastboot with my Mac.

Never used a PC nor owned one.

It seems rather simple to do until I get to the rom to install.

I don't know which one to click on.

Install adb and fastboot via the terminal. Got all the tools.

Got the Europe rom.

But when I click on it there are so many files.

Which one to choose?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Zxalilh:
Don't really get what you mean by "many files". Could you include a picture of the files?
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Zxalilh:
Maybe they installed the wrong ROM for your device?

[Honor Magic6] vjuhasz:
Hello, I have a Honor Magic 6 Pro. When I am using a third party launcher the recent apps button stops working. If I switch back to the stock Honor launcher, the back button works.

I need to use a third party launcher as the Honor stock one is just too barebones. Any way around or fix for the non-working "recent apps" button? I really need the functionality.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
[Honor Magic6] driv5r1:
same here installed nova launcher and the recent apps button stopped working reverted to gestures and even thats hit and miss
[Honor Magic6] Ricardo_G:
Same here, none third - party launcher works in magic6 pro, neither nova launcher or hyperion, we need help ASAP, the home launcher it´s a s***t, i wrote to technical support: they said that this is for the third party developments, not for the OS trash
[Honor Magic6] vjuhasz:
I ended up sending the phone back to Honor within 14 days for this main reason.

None of the internet reviews mentioned this (I think an important and relevant) fact about this phone NOT FULLY SUPPORTING third-party launchers.

Another smaller issue I wish they should fix in the next release: the ultra-wide camera sensitivity in low light is just so-so, subpar. However the main and zoom cams sensitivity is really good. Without the launcher issue I might have kept the phone anyway - that was a deal breaker for me.

If the launcher problem gets fixed in a future upgrade and third-party launchers DO get full support, including the currently broken "recent apps" functionality, can someone please post it here? In currently latest software version 8.0.0.127 it's broken.
[Honor Magic6] jocanunu:
That's right, in the end I decided to leave the original of honor, although in all my mobiles I always used Nova launcher.
[Honor Magic6] tensux:
i am having the same issue, no recent button when using nova launcher. I actually don't use the recent button too often so will put up with it for now. One more annoying issue i am having is that wallpaper scrolling on nova launcher doesn't work. I have had a few phones with this issue but was always able to fix it by enabling "force wallpaper scrolling". When I try to enable it though, it tells me it needs "documents & files" permission i cant find anyway to give nova launcher this permission. its not an option in the app's permissions. in fact it says no permissions denied.
[Honor Magic6] Private7Joker:
It's a shame that Honor acts a bit like Apple. The hardware of the Magic 6 Pro is absolutely great but the lack of letting the users choose typical Android things like their own launcher is not good
[Honor Magic6] kvolt:
Unfortunately, even with the new update 8.....148 on Nova launcher the "recent apps" gesture does not work…I resigned myself to using the system launcher
[Honor Magic6] driv5r1:
the new 8.0.0.155 up[date fixes recent function issue
[Honor Magic6] Ricardo_G:
Hello, what country are you? I haven't that update. Thanks a lot
[Honor Magic6] Ricardo_G:
I can confirm that the update fix the problem. Thanks
[Honor Magic6] mrhizzo:

[Honor Magic6] mrhizzo:
I can't thank you enough for this.

I wasn't really sure that it would work, but without even check for new firmware, the menu already had a notification with the update.

It is in the .167 version now.
[Honor Magic6] mecha659:
If I may ask what is the new update about? I'm planning to buy one. I'm concerned on how the camera really handles taking photos and videos, I'm thinking of going to Xiaomi 14 Ultra but HM6P has a really good deal here in my area.
[Honor Magic6] mrhizzo:
I can't give a direct answer, even having both (Xiaomi 14 Ultra and HM6P).

The Xiaomi seems to be more refined about the options in the camera. But both have the best of the best of the photography setup and I don't think you will regret any.

I am not using my Honor much because my version came without case and there is none in my country available. I bought one yesterday in Aliexpress and it will take two weeks to arrive.

One thing that made me get the Honor is the Face ID. It's annoying how there is no Android with this "new" technology.

And about the update, it had a lot of updates, in many areas of the phone, camera was one, system, and really some others. Even the Nova Launcher problem was fixed.
[Honor Magic6] mecha659:
In terms of which of both the phones you lean on overall at 100%, which would it be?

Let's say, as an example, HM6P at 40% and X14U at 60%.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] LPools:
So I have the note 12 pro 5g Global version and its version Miui 14 14.0.6.0 TMOMIXM and the last update was a security update in November 2023.

Is there any more security updates since then? Will this phone automatically receive HyperOS or am I meant to manually install it?
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] Rares6567:
You should automatically get it, go and check if you got the update.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] LPools:
Nah nothing, have been checking everyday. Even changed region couple of times. When I got this phone the version it had had a bug where it won't update, which I found out after researching, so I manually had to get the rom and update.
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] Rares6567:
Ah... Then you may need to manually update again...
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] LPools:
So I just looked at the roms and the update that I have is the last MIUI update and the following on updates is hyperos, so my thinking is that I am stuck so I will manually have to backup and install hyperos
[Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro Plus 5G] Rares6567:
Probably.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
I didn't use any of those.

LineageOS seems fine and better than google stock rom so far.

also, unlocked bootloader, root is the must for me.

I wish someone will make it by default out of the box.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] RainneDecember:
I just flashed crdroid. I am wondering how to root so i can fix safetynet.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
easy, install magisk, extract init_boot.img, patch it in magisk and than flash in fastboot

for some reason on pixel 8 pro it's important to patch "init_boot.img", watch out !
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] RainneDecember:
How do you extract init boot.img?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
that you should ask crdroid.

you can try to extract it from the rom image.

lineage provided "init_boot.img"

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] android_dan:
I used to really look forward to loading a custom ROM on my phone, but I haven't with my pixel 8 and don't think that I will. Now that most of them have went to Telegram it's just not worth the hassle. I tried when I first got my pixel 7 but was banned from two threads in a row. First time I've ever been banned from a forum or a thread in my life for asking a couple simple questions. I don't have a problem with telegram per se, but I'm not going to deal with some 12-year-old kid with anger management issues who somehow became an administrator. Way too many people with administrative rights there. So now I just root and use pixelexpert.

Hey there,

I understand the allure of custom ROMs and the freedom they offer in terms of customization and features. However, I firmly believe that the stock ROM experience has its own merits that shouldn't be overlooked.

1. Stability and Reliability: Stock ROMs are meticulously optimized and tested by the device manufacturers to ensure stability and reliability. They are designed to work seamlessly with the hardware, minimizing the risk of compatibility issues or bugs that can sometimes arise with custom ROMs.

2. Security Updates: One of the biggest advantages of sticking with the stock ROM is the timely security updates provided by the manufacturer. These updates are crucial for protecting your device against security vulnerabilities and ensuring your personal data remains safe.

3. Warranty and Support: By using the stock ROM, you maintain the device's warranty and eligibility for official support from the manufacturer. In case of any hardware or software issues, you can rely on the manufacturer's support channels to provide assistance and solutions.

4. Performance Optimization: Stock ROMs are often optimized for performance and battery efficiency, leveraging proprietary optimizations and features that may not be available in custom ROMs. This can result in smoother performance and better battery life compared to custom ROMs.

While custom ROMs certainly offer a high degree of customization and flexibility, they may not always provide the same level of stability, security, and support as stock ROMs. Ultimately, the choice between stock and custom ROMs depends on individual preferences and priorities, but it's essential to recognize the value that stock ROMs bring to the table.

Let's keep the discussion open and respectful, acknowledging the benefits and trade-offs of each approach.

Thanks for sharing your perspective!

(On my other phones i do spend my time rooting customizing and installing roms.)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Oganyr:
It depends on what you seek,

- For security updates, stock is the best

- For privacy there are good customs roms (GrapheneOS, IodéOs,...)

- For customisation there are good customs roms (Crdroid, EvolutionX, Sigmadroid,...)

But there are inconvenients with each options.

You can also stay on stock and root (With Magisk, Kernel SU, Apatch ) and use custom kernels + playcurl and playintegrety fix for banking apps and iconify/Pixel expert to get more customisation.

I tried all options and since i want more customisation and privacy the best 3 in my opinion are : SigmaDroid, CrDroid or Stock + Kernel Su + Iconify + Adguard in proxy mode for ads ( I tried Magisk intead of Kernel Su but had many more problems with banking apps detecting roots than kernel SU )

PS : if you are using Uber Delivery you are stuck with stock and no root... i tried every solution possible but everytime UBER detect root and don't let me do deliveries. IDK what system they use but it's strong. I only got 1 time where Uber was working with kernel SU and the next day they patched it and wasn't working anymore.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kingpeppermint:
Generally true especially with roms with extensive manufacturer support like in general Samsung and Google, in other cases however where the manufacturer quickly give up on supporting the device the community in some cases produces more stable roms then stock.

On custom kernels there are quite a few who apply patches before google, but in general yes the manufacturer would be earlier *if* they have an active support role, which is the case for Google and Samsung but after these big names it becomes more cloudy. (i'm not saying they are the only ones i'm saying of the the big names there is a very varying decree of updates supplied per brand and sometimes even on models per brand.)

Depends on manufacturer but best of my knowledge Google supports hardware error regardless if you have rooted your device or not. Where as Samsung insists your warranty is void if you do as much as unlock your bootloader(again best of my knowledge) Now i think that here in the Uk and generally Europe, they won't get away with ''you're rooted so we say hahaha too bad about your hardware fault'' as consumer laws take a very dim view on those kind of restrictions, but no-one will likely spend the money to legally challenge them.

It is indeed true that on paper you would say the manufacturer has all the cards in their hands to make a rom that performs better than any custom rom. It is however not necessary true, quite the contrary if you look at both benchmarks and user experiences costum Kernels and roms actually perform better.

I think that is because manufacturer development teams have a different focus, more focussed on features user experiences and so futher and so forth, and off course all to software that support the mini ecosystems within an ecossystem brands like Google and Samsung have, like all the AI features for example.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nutzfreelance:
i wish someone degoogled the stock rom, they used to debloat and degoogle factory roms many many years back as "minimal" roms.

i think google and samsung have really made their software bloat mandatory that now you cannot clean them up anymore.

( i don't want to guess how many resources and battery "google play protect" ( among other things) uses on my device)

ill have to look at crdroid

anyone know if CRdroid lets you deny the network permission like graphene and protonaosp roms used to let you?
