I can't upload the screenshots since I am always moving around but I shared my experience,pie is better optimised on this device and with new kryo core 2*6 ,10nm it's bound to be better

I figured somethings out. Some of them are minor.

1) Ambient brightness was actually learning it seems (My usage), now it seems fine.
2) pixel 3 live wallpapers enforces white theme even if dark is enabled! but dark is working if normal wallpapers or pixel 2017 wallpapers are used!
3) problems 3 and 4 didn't happen after a hard reset.
4) you have calibrate E-compass every restart, it shows wrong North i guess e-compass always sucks
Other than that every things fine..... Can you give me a link of any working arnova's or best gcam mod link if you have any?
Thanks in advance

Use BSG ports. Because BSG using MI 8 and both Mi 8 and Nokia 8.1 have same camera sensors in my knowledge. I am using latest BSG port for Mi 8 in my N 8.1 and everything works fine.

P2 - Worth buying?

I have some questions plz answer these -
1. Does it have 2.5 D glass
2. How good is the display i.e. are blacks deep like Samsung phones considering it has an amoled display
3. How is the build quality?Had any scratches
4. How good is development for this phone ,I mean I have Mi4 and still is well developed Can I expect these to be developed for at least 2 - 3 years.
5.Is camera that bad ?
1. No.
2. IMO yes.
3. Superb. No wiggle room anywhere.
4. TBH quite bad at the moment compared to other devices. It seems like progress is being made although very slowly. The stock ROM is decent enough to warrant using it in the meantime though.
5. It's bad. God... So bad.
The display is amazing, i didn't want to purchase another Amoled screen ever again since the Samsung Galaxy Nexus but this phone is worth it.
Even though the build is great with an all metal build.. you should still get a case and screen protector to keep it shiny.
I'm sure development will get much better, there is no rush. After reading around the forums it seems the Roms are usable.. but hey.. it is a lot better than the Dev for the Zenfone Max. They have troubles with no offline charging and phone doesn't turn on when battery reach 0%, so users have to keep it above 5% in order to not semi brick it. This device don't have those bugs.. so that's good. :laugh:
Also another good thing is that they have numerous Roms and am glad that they update the Lineage 13 Roms too, but Stock Rom is just as fine.
Until Lenovo fully stops updating soon; probably by September 2018.. using Custom Roms would be ideal to update when it happens. That would be my suggestion.

Hey, Thanks bro
But I think Redmi note 4 which retails as same price has many more developers and roms and much more engagement.Thats why I am a little worried to buy this.Here I saw just 2 developers doing all the work.I respect their work.But still we are here lacking kernels etc.
Do u think lenovo will continue providing updates till September 2018.I don't think so.

From a technical perspective it seems like a great device indeed. But you are correct. Moto & Redmi (I guess Huawei too) are more widely-spread. However (speaking for me and the local market) compared to the best available version of Moto G5, this phone has slightly better technical specifications (+1gb ram) for the same price.
Dude, I really hope, that I will enjoy this phone as much as my old G2 and my ancient Galaxy S. :fingers-crossed:

How to raise brightness of my Pixel 2 XL

Hi guys, because my job is under the sun and Pixle 2 XL bright is horrible (can't read it! It seems almost completely black) I'd like to know If there's a way to pump up/raise brightness of my display to the limit.

Flar2, who's one of the best kernel Devs out there, and came up with HBM (high brightness mode) has said that's it not yet possible because of the LG panels that the P2XL uses. So I'm afraid your outa luck for a while bruh ?
Try a different theme which will enable nore contrast.

Thank you for your suggestion Dieselhazza but I need to raise the lux/din of my display over the limits set by Google/Lg.
Do you know if is it possible having also my phone magisked?
Has anyone found a mod to raise the brightness... Anything out there. HBM only pushes to Max Brightness and doesn't support Pixel 2 XL. And I've heard about the screen burn in issues. Obviously it'd be at my own risk as with any mods on these forums.
Greatly appreciated for any support.
Thanks...

No mod as of yet, unfortunately! I know flar2, the Dev for Ex kernel and the app has been trying. However, doesn't sound like the LG panels are conducive to this mod

Cool. Thanks guys. I can always enable high Contrast and theme with brighter colors. Looking for the app. If was a significant difference with Flars work on the Pixel XL.
Gotta travel the next few days and miss it when I'm outside... Although I usually flash back to stock, whenever I'm out and about. I'll be back on Validus by Thursday.

My Zenfone 6 arrives tomorrow, what should I test? what do you want to know?

Greetings,
My Zenfone 6 (6GB/64GB) arrives tomorrow here in Germany, I'd like to ask what you Guys want to know the most?
Ask me anything and i'll respond to EVERY Question ASAP!
AND YES - first thing i'll do is to find a working GCAM Version!!! lol
See ya all
I'm in Germany as well - may I ask how you got your hands on it? Is that a piece provided by ASUS PR, or did you find a retailer who has it in stock?
I'd like to buy it as well, preferably the silver one.
Hi, please check if it's possible to take photos on RAW format.
And if possible, something i haven't seen yet, is a photo on a very very dark area with max exposure time, i guess it's 32 seconds. If not asking too much take one with the lowest possible ISO and other with the highest possible ISO.
It seems the Night Mode on this phone isn't so great. It seems it's only reducing highlights but not increasing shadows or something. But i'm curious to see what the phone is capable of on low light extreme conditions on Pro mode.

So they're shipping them already?! I thought the two available models were pre-orders to be shipped somewhere in June!
The whole launch was terrible communication on ASUS' side. Thanks for your clarification, I might order the black one after all then.

I ordered one from the French website this morning and got a shipping confirmation 2 hours ago. It seems to be handled by a distributor in Germany.
Only the two black 6 GB models (64 GB / 128 GB) were available, the rest is still to come apparently.

Second,see if lcd screen has some ghosting,which renders it less fluid than amoled phones. Can't seem to get that answered in the other AMA thread in this section.

I had a Note 9 - for about 1 1/2 Months, before that, I had the Nokia 7 Plus (still using it right now)
I also had a Pixel 3a XL last Month, but just for a Week because I wanted to test the Phone.
I purchase a lot of Phones, then I'm testing then for around one or two Weeks and then I return them.
If you can and have a USB-C dongle, please check if the phone is able to cast its screen via HDMI cable

Lenovo P2. And yes, an AMOLED display is much more crispy with more contrast, but I only noticed that after I looked at the Lenovo screen again. The Asus has a very good screen.
Wouldn't notice ghosting yet.

Thanks a lot for the samples.
Even though the image is blurry due to long exposure, it's noticeable the greater quality (at least the brightness) comparing with any of the other modes, including Night Mode.
The phone needs to be really steady with such long exposures and maybe Night Mode will work a little better on scenes with a big discrepancy between shadows and highlights, but it's nice to see what this phone can do on very dark scenes on Pro Mode. As a photography enthusiast it gave me some relief. I think with some work we can have amazing results even with some highlights present if we manually take multiple shots with multiple exposures and combining them.
I was wondering, how are the stereo speakers and headphone jack output for you?
I currently use the zenfone 5z and have some network problems.
Could you test:
1. Opening a hotspot and let a volkswagen car radio (discover media model) connect to it? On the three zenfone 5z i tested the radio was able to connect to the hotspot but got no internet. Other phones hotspots work just fine.
2. Use tasker autotools ssh to open a ssh connection with the phone connected to wifi. Then switch off wifi and try to connect via ssh again. On the 5z it will not work after switching networks. Switching back to wifi will make it work again. (create task, add action, plugins/autotools/ssh and enter the ssh connection details, save, press "play" for the task while on wifi, disconnect wifi, press play again and it will time out)
3. Is the auto wake up wifi function available? https://www.howtogeek.com/327532/ho...youre-near-a-trusted-network-in-android-oreo/
4. If you have rooted the phone try to open a vpn hotspot with the vpn hotspot app. On the 5z the devices connected to the vpn hotspot won't get internet. https://www.xda-developers.com/vpn-hotspot-share-vpn-connection/
I tried to debug it with the developer but at some point we came to the conclusion that the 5z was the culprit. So whatever asus ****ed up with the networking (probably some routing issue) these issues would definetely be a dealbreaker for me.
please take as many pictures in day mode and at night time as possible and post them. i only had phones with OIS until now and i am afraid that the samples i've seen on the net are in ideal conditions. i'd like to see how it behaves in real life tests, like i'm at some water fountain at night and i take a picture, without a fixed point, just from my hand
thank you!

I add it to my list to test when I'll finish investigating and fed up of EU rom.
(Syberia, ancienOS and OneOS.)
I don't mean to sound like an a-hole but...Root + KonaBess (undervolt/underclock) is much better solution than that Magisk module:

Unbelievable.. I see a lot of problems on this phone..
Proximity sensor problem
dimming issue
yellowish screen for some people
So maybe I not buy that.

All of these problems are experienced by a small minority of owners. Most users have no issues at all. My only issue is a 2-3 second delay in auto brightness, but I am on a custom ROM. In MIUI everything was working as it should

Of course , majority of people don't use their phone 24/7 , those few that do are not telling fairy tales lmao
Every single phone suffers from these , it's just that majority are dumb enough that they can't even notice it.
Every single issue I saw mentioned here on xda I experienced myself too , many more that aren't reported as well ...
It's a shet phone from shet company ... Only saving grace for it is unlockable bootloader and sources , but even that is barely worth to be dealing with all of this ....
These phones are really cheap but this is gonna be my last one , I'd rather spend 2/3x the amount on my next one than have experience like this again

For average Joe yeah , for everyone else that cares about performance on paper actually being present - get fapple. 100% , go and buy their phone it's 1000x better experience no kidding from gaming to work environment.
Aosp ROMs take away all of the good things from the phone ( Correct touch polling , cpu/gpu drivers that aren't from Qualcomm test app , and everything else from camera sensors , picture quality to battery charging speed and battery thermal profiles ... )
ROMs we have now are dirty fix for someone that doesn't care much about all these features... Drivers aren't open source and Devs are pacing behind trying to write their own. Definitely not a fix or solution of any kind untill we are able to fully utilise hardware of this phone.
Get a phone that doesn't come with shet software , that you don't have to flash custom ROM on to disable dumb fkin shet like adaptive refresh rate and such that throttles touch polling based on what the Chinese Devs think is good enough for you...
If I buy a 120hz screen and 360hz touch polling phone I expect to get this much , aosp ROMs give u 120hz screen but touch lags , miui gives you 120hz screen and 360hz touch polling ( All good when it works ) but it's only sometimes... Barely works , takes a lot of dumb shet to enable all of this and even then you have to constantly re enable everything after reboot / after some time of phone being in sleep... Shet experience, you have to chase the phone - beg it to give you the performance it advertised.
All these issues on miui are from them doing you a "favour" , not giving you any choice on whether you want all of this shet for the sake of 1/2 minute longer battery life...
Fk this shet ! I bought this phone only few months ago and I'm already over it , utter garbage. I come from 200k antutu phone that throttled heavily for 3/4 years and I feel like this ain't much different at all.
What's the point? Spend 100/200 more dollars buy phone that has 144hz screen and 720hz touch polling all the time... No need to play nanny 24/7 and just enjoy the phone
Or buy apple as it doesn't suffer from any such throttles from what ik...
The greatest Android and MIUI fan ever!!! LOL

If majority of people doesn't notice an issue, IT'S NOT AN GENERAL ISSUE. There is no smartphone manufacturer that is willing to put a defective model on the market, except maybe for Samsung or Apple(which they did). Samsung smartphone market share in China is under 1%. Basically they do not exist there because of battery explosion handling. Read Samsung and Apple threads and you will see they too have this kind of issues and, just like you, people give them shet about these issues.
For me the Iphone experience it's like being on a eye candy prison. It looks and feels nice but there are alot of software limitations. If you don't care to change anything much beside wallpaper and ringtones on your phone, Apple is great. BUT you pay a premium for accessories, you pay a premium for screen protectors and cases. You can forget about changing screens, those will set you back half of the initial iphone price.
A 300 usd phone with 6.67 inch 120hz OLED screen for me is a better experience than a 700 usd 6.1 inch, 60 Hz OLED any day.
There is a client base for Apple and there is a client base for Xiaomi and others. Everyone can choose for himself.Some like Ultra/Max phones , some cheap, some in between. Don't bash people for their choises. You don't like a product, change it...

Hey nice one! It would be good a comparison as I saw already an article where it seems unfortunately the Leica color science didn't improved so much the device.
I have to update my post as I worked on DPreview more for the camera ones https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/65295855
Overall anyway the quality is very poor.
Got my r6 today. No idea why but it seems to overheat 5-10 minutes after camera use. Not even video shooting - just taking photos (which are,to my regret, really bad compared to note 20 ultra). You ever witnessed this issue? Also,did you manage to find where to turn down refresh rate or is it locked at 240?
This phone is very interesting! May I ask about whether the phone is SIM-locked, whether it is easy to unlock, and whether there could be some issues using it in Europe?

Hey, do you notice flickering on the screen especially on lower brightness? Also do you notice blue tint also on low brightness?
dears,is there any way to root this phone ?
So I have an Aquos R6 - the color science seems off - bluish tinge that can easily be corrected with even google photos. Also the speakers for ringtones and notifications seem really bad but watching apps like HBO Max seem much better. But no settings I can find.
