Need to remember - Only 1 meter down deep :silly:

What do you guys think about the water resistance of this phone while earphones are plugged in?
I'm not sure if it would survive a run in the rain while listening to music. But that's one thing i would like to do and also one of the reasons i bought this phone.
Sent from my LT26w using xda app-developers app

it is water "resistance" so you will screw it if you put in on water when one of those ports covers are open or even not "properly closed"! but if you use a bluetooth headset you will be still fine cuz the cover is not open anymore! and under the water i just tried to unlock the screen but it didnt work "perfect"! the screen was still working but not perfect not as good as it works out of water but when the screen is wet out of water like when u just take the phone out of water it works good!

Brave man indeed lol XD

Afik it is only ip 56 or 57...
That is a looooong way from water proof...
So keep that in mind if you really want to test it...
And have a look at a ip list to see what ip56/57 really is about...
I would like to see a ip68 phone instead...

^should be okay if the phone is not completely exposed. newer phone can be dunked in water briefly and still survive (iphone 4/ galaxy s3)

My defy is back! "Old is gold"

So long time ago my defy got bricked while flashing..cos defy sipped all the juice and it got empty while flashing. I gave it for service no one could repair it.
Now I got a defy where only mother board works for approximately 13$ . Changed the motherboard , buttons, display and the back half myself and revived my defy.
Now I'm back to play with my defy even though I have xperia z, I simply love my defy cos
"Phones are meant to be smaller"
I cant text comfortably with such a big screen in my xperia z.
Defy is a great device. I realize "old is gold"

if some illegal thing was done on that handset motherboard , and then that imei u purchased, then u replace motherboard, you would be in the radar... that way i am saying it is risky

but that's like saying no one should ever buy or use secondhand goods since you don't know what the previous owners had used it for any illegal activities? for examples, the secondhand car you bought could have been used for robberies, weapons used for murders, etc?

Its a kind of risk... u can preserve the ebay purchase paper for safety thats the only way out...

Until the phone works I'm very happy guyzzzz..

+1. how many smartphones out there besides motorola have multi-colour LED letting you know, without turning on the screen, if you have missed calls or messages etc? none to my knowledge anyway
and on top of that, water resist, dust proof, scratch resistance guerilla glass screen, and just the right size for a phone.....love it......not changing it for a long time yet.......unless it dies

You are absolutely right with old is gold.
I was searching for an alternative quit for some time but all other ip67 phones are either almost with the same cpu and mem or have a display like an half laptop....

Barometer

Hello!
I'm a paragliding pilot and I use the smartphones with special apps that helps me to detect hot air masses and helps me navigate better when I'm flying. These applications require a barometer that is only available on a small number of smartphones and the Mix 2 is one of them.
I want to buy a Mix 2 in 1-2 days but I dont know anything about the barometer inside and how good/bad is it.
Can someone please install this app from playstore (Sensor Test by Andrey Efremov, it has a blue icon with a arrow) and post a screenshot from the barometer/info page?
I want to see what vendor (probably Bosch) and model is the barometer sensor so I can make some research about it.
Thanks in advance!

I can't post a pic for some reason, but yes, it's Bosch.

Can you please tell me the exact name of the sensor?
My old Nexus 5 is using a Bosch BMP280 sensor wich did a great job. I want see if the new Xiaomi phones have the same sensor or a newer model.
Thanks!

Smart thing to do... install something because someone tells you to do so...

That app is safe. I'm not a spammer, but that app is the only one I know that shows the barometer name.
Search my youtube channel (epuru) so you can see that I'm a paragliding pilot and the fast beep beep beep sound you hear in my flying videos is produced by the barometer.
My old Nexus 5 is still doing a great job, but I'm in love with the Mix 2, but if the barometer from the Mix 2 is not ok I will have to say pass.

I am not going to search anything from someone that is asking folks to install some app on their first post on their first day.
Excuse me, but it is a bit odd in these days.

I read this forum a lot, but only today I have registered. You are right to be suspicious, but I still need help. My time is a little limited for research because I want to catch the discounts from aliexpress on theri 11.11 discounts festival.
Install whatever apps (maybe aida64/cpu-z) you know that shows infos about the barometer and please tell me the complete name of the sensor so I can find a datasheet about it.
Thank you!

You could have found it yourself: Bosch BMP285

How? I dont have the Mix 2 yet, that's why I asked here.
I hope it's better or at least as good compared to the BMP280 from my Nexus 5.
I will ask a friend with a Mi6 to see if it has the same sensor as the Mix 2 and if he can let me to see how accurate is.
Thank you!

Just stop asking people to install things, you are not the only one around that is a no know
Sensor on 6 is the same.
No hard feelings

No hard feelings, my friend!
If the Bosch BMP280 sensor from Nexus 5 was good I suppose the Bosch BMP285 from the Mix 2 is a newer, better and even more accurate sensor.
I have just ordered in advance 2 tempered glass screen protectors and a case from Aliexpress and I will wait two days for the "chinese black friday" to order the Mix 2. I hope I will not break it on a paragliding hard landing.
Thanks for everything.

Made this screenshots while in airplane mode, then uninstalled the app. Should be safe enough.
Tell me of these are good enough for you.

Hello! Yes, the screenshots are good for me. Thank you!
I ordered the Mix 2 saturday and today it was shipped from China. I hope I will receive the order in max 1 week.

Hello! I dont know yet because weather is bad in Romania and my last flight was 2 months ago.
I played in house a little bit with it and it seems to be accurate and works great. My old Nexus 5 (BMP280 barometer) did a great job with XC Track, and it seems that Mix 2 (BMP285 barometer) is even better.
I cant wait for a day with nice weather so I can test it in a real flight.

That's perfectly normal IMO. I have heard these similar sounds in Samsung flagships and other OEMs before at different places. Enjoy your device till the time it is under warranty and it doesn't has any adverse effect on the day to day device functionality.
Sent from my SM-A505F using Tapatalk

Wow i thought i am the only one. Yes it does make a rattling around .. even if i drop the phone on my bed from ≥15-20cm. And also if you tap on the area beside the camera lens, you get to hear a blank tapping sound. Is it so?

Correct !

Yep. It makes the sound...

Hey, not you not me but every A50 user is reporting this to samsung and it said that it just a sound from the lens which is used for autofocus. So nothing to worry about it ?

I am facing the same issue. Rattling sound when I tap the backside of the phone.
What can be done for this? It has increased from last week.

Note 10+ 3D Scanner

Yesterday I received my T-Mobile variant Note 10+ which I pre-ordered from Samsung website. The device is awesome, but one of the key features they showed at unpacked is not on the device. I have not been able to find the 3D scanner. Is it just me or this is an issue? Thank you.

From what I've heard they haven't released it yet. It's on apkmirror. Search for Samsung 3D Scanner. Then go into Bixby Vision within the Camera and click on Apps and it should show up in there after installing the apk.

Yeah, that's what I heard over on Reddit. Didn't know that at the time. I've also tried scanning non reflective items and they still didn't turn out too well either.

Hopefully over time, the app will get some updates. New toy. New software. I have seen a few impressive videos of some captures that were really good. I have anywhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours before mine is in my hands to play with. That is one of the features I am dying to test.

Hello. Need this to replace bellus3d . Could someone post a face scan with a smile as an obj or ply so that I can see if the poly count is good enough for dental?
Thank you so much
 @babaroye

Thank the info.
Downloaded and check it out. A small test scan shows ot might ne pretty good.
I have an einscan sp. Ill he doing a comparison between the two.
But the note 10 scanner is pretty fast snd shall come in handy.

.obj with texture file.
Still doing some testing.
I believe models are a close scale. I just need a better scan area since you have to be able to walk around the whole item.

.obj works not sure about the texture file though
