I downloaded the one on compilation thread

The camera is not working in portrait photography and the video is not working....

Acermoon:

Which of the config works or am to use the three?

Darlinx01:
with samsung's new partnership with AMD, the game would be changing soon. Heard they released a chip 3% faster than sd865. And are hoping to gain grounds in the SoC market. Someone needs to end this useless monopoly

Bahddo:
lol. At this point, this is just an attempt at a Strawman argument.

Kindly quote my post where I said or implied ROMs don't affect performance.

Does 'boosting/reducing performance' mean the same thing to you as 'determining if your phone is powerful or not'? What's even the relationship? How's your argument even making sense to you?

Jemerson:


Yes. One typical example.

Snapdragon 650 supporrted QC 2.0. but due to licensing costs, Xiaomi only enabled QC 1.0. however, folks were able to unlock bootloader and flash CyanogenMod™ to get the QC 2.0.

So you see, flashing custom rom helped them to determine if their phone was powerful or not

Please, in the name of all that's holy and good, steer well clear of any tablet with a Helio X series SoC (X20, X23, X27, etc). They have good benchmark scores but they perform terribly in real life usage scenarios.
Teclast have decent build quality compared to a brand like Chuwi, but make sure you research forums well before you commit. I believe the Teclast T30 powered by the Helio P70 is a decent option compared to their M series tablets.

Hello
My sister just got a xiaomi note 8 pro but the battery has been draining ever since. We used up about 4% just to set up the phone alone. We spent 3hrs on the phone with just browsing and downloading system update and now the phone has gotten to 89%. Is this normal for a 4500mah battery?

Bahddo:
crap. Anyone with internet access can pretty much see what their phone's SoC is capable of, from detailed specifications. Those who cook custom ROM can do so because they ALREADY KNOW the hardware has the capability to support a desired functionality.

Custom ROM doesn't not help you find out anything you cannot find out without it, unless of course you don't bother finding out stuff. You won't ever DISCOVER that your midrange device is actually a high-end device because you flashed custom ROM. Custom ROMS do not determine how powerful your device/chipset is, much less being 'the way to truly find out' as the other dude claimed.

You don't need to flash custom ROM into the Samsung Galaxy S20 to know that it's faaaaaaaar better than the Infinix Note 7.

I can vouche for redmi note 3pro because I used it. It was A very well documented issue then. Infact, that was what brought my attention to tweaking of phones.

Xiaomi had a choice of keeping the cost down or paying extra bucks for QC. They choice the former and it paid off.

Na Chicken we dey kill for this one.

Should I go for redmi 8 or realme c3
What phone will u recommend for me under 50k

Bahddo:
so you are saying if there was no custom ROM, no one would have ever known the SoC supports QC 2.0?

famep:

Thanks

Perfectly normal. Give it 2-3days for the system to stabilise.

Simran94:

Okay thanks. I noticed it is the Android system that is taking up much battery consumption, what to do?

How do you convince the Indians that the SoC is QC capable when they can't even experience it?

It was on Qualcomm website. But it wasn't working on the phone, and no official comment by Xiaomi during and after the phone launch. Remember this was a phone that broke the Indian market.

Some Indians on gsmarena even said Xiaomi lied about the processor just to gain market in India.

ibawon:
If you want to really know how strong or weak your phone is flash a new ROM then you will know if you have a powerful device or an overated phone slapped with camera sensors with high numbers.

I have a China version RN7 with Chinese ROM, and I wish to replace it with global ROM. I'll appreciate if someone could point me to any resource that will help. Thanks

Bahddo:
the Dimensity 820 performance is also only surpassed by 855, 855+ and 865 in the SD lineup, according to Antutu.

Remains to be seen what it can truly do in a device though. Let's hope they aren't cheating again.

Bahddo:
ok, but that doesn't answer the question. Did it take a custom ROM before ANYONE knew that QC 2.0 was possible? Recall the bone of contention here...

You agree that one has to flash custom ROM to know how strong or weak their phone is? That you can't know if you have a powerful or weak device if it's still running stock ROM?

Let's all flash Custom ROMs so we can REALLY KNOW if our phones are truly as powerful/weak as we think.

Alright. At this point, I don rest

festwiz:


This, I am quite excited to see. If it's actually real world performance, then Qualcomm will have to eat it's heart out and make their premium midrange SoCs like the 765, 765G, 768G, etc cheaper.

They are enjoying too much of a monopoly right now because Mediatek hasn't really competed with them in the past. It's a whole new ball game now and we may have the Intel Vs AMD situation.

Unverified source claims the SD865 SoC costs $180.

GrandMufti:


When you see your guy with a shaving stick, you don't go about asking him why he's holding a shaving stick. But when you see your 8 year old son with a shaving stick, a responsible father should demand answers.

Apply the same logic to chipsets.

You don't go about asking if a flagship chipset supports quick charge, you don't even bother to check specs if it supports it and Snapdragon does not even use it as it's selling point because by default it should.

But when you use quick charge as a selling point for a midrange SoC and at the end the phone ends up only fast charging, people will ask questions and seek for solutions.

That was the story of Redmi note 3 and SD 650

Bahddo:
this emboldened text pretty much means no iPhone is powerful (since you can't do custom roms), despite the fact that their flagship A13 Bionic chipset is one of the best mobile SoCs currently in existence.

Flashing new ROM would determine if a phone is powerful? Really?

The way some of you say nonsense with so much confidence ehn, I don't understand. I get that you have an anti-MTK bias, but this is not a sensible post at all.
