Still very frustrated with the Wifi problem. Not consistent. Haih dont know why

Browsing and Internet things other than WhatsApp got issue? In my experience I can still get message coming in thru WhatsApp, eventhough I already force stopped it. Its due to the gcm service that keeps waking up WhatsApp.

Uninstall WhatsApp, wipe phone cache, restart, let the phone settle down 5 minutes after unlocking the lock screen and then install it again doesn't solve the problem?

Now the problem I am facing is that sometimes it is connected but couldnt browse anything for maybe a minute of two and the weird thing is that my whatsapp desktop is still online and can chat haha

OK. That's some seriously odd issue 😅. Seems like WiFi also got problem if that's the case. Going to try factory reset soon?

One question. The phone itself already have protective film pre-installed? Any of you removed it and applied tempered glass?
*
QUOTE(HazzyNight @ Jun 17 2020, 09:27 PM)
Yeah, screen protector pre-installed. The screen protector thou not really decent in quality, scratched it on the first day of use. Using Nillkin's H+ Pro tempered, great quality as usual from Nillkin.

Does it affect fingerprint sensor scanning reliability?

I've gotten myself a Nillkin H+ too but yet to apply. The pre-installed film looks neat. Feel like wasted if removed it now.

QUOTE(HazzyNight @ Jun 17 2020, 11:38 PM)
No, not at all, still as accurate as original screen protector.

Yeah, I have had issues with my FP reader but it's intermittent. Not sure if it's the reader or caused by the tempered glass I installed.

Guess I will stick to the stock sp film for now. Looks neat to me.

MIUI 12 stable is out for China K30 Pro ROM. I reckon it won't be long now for poco I hope.

Don't worry if the new release EU ROM is OK or not becoz we can always and easily flash back the old EU ROM anytime (via latest TWRP) without hurting the data & installed apps.
*
Things changed with miui 12 lately. Going back from miui 12 latest beta to stable requires data format, else will stuck at boot screen. Can say goodbye to internal backup.

Oh... I tot my quotes were in F1 thread.. This is in F2P thread...

Anyway, I'm not aware of latest development for EU ROM... So, if the EU ROM for F1 and F2P cannot easily downgraded, then, don't update and stick to MIUI 11.
*
Since the newer version of miui 12 eu are mostly based on weekly beta, I guess for us f2 users gotta wait a while before we can get that jump back and forth worry free environment like miui 11.

Not using AOD - never did with any of my previous Samsung phones either laugh.gif

Prefer my phone screens completely blank when in standby. I blame my iPhone upbringing...

My upbringing with samsung spoilt me hahaha😅

Same for everyone I think. Having owned a Mi Note 7 for a year previously, I'm not too hopeful on getting constant security updates for this phone laugh.gif

Redmi k30 pro are getting consistent stable update. We even got miui 12 now. Tough luck poco 😅. Perhaps they are waiting qualcomm baseline to be fully updated then they will release the firmware update for poco

Based on my experience, if software update is important to someone, I wouldn't recommend buying a Xiaomi (Global ROM) or a Huawei laugh.gif

If I had your experience like with the Note 7, I would have done the same too. But Huawei... Their software update is lacking too?

QUOTE(marcyeo @ Jun 21 2020, 11:31 AM)
hehe...im not really rushing actually, but just wondering if got update that can unlock 60 fps on asphalt 9 haha...even my 2018 note 9 also can play 60 fps by default

Hope either poco or asphalt will do something about it 😅

Will probably give HMS a try next year when it's a bit more widely adopted smile.gif

Yeah, same. I don't keep my Android phones long enough for a major update laugh.gif Out of curiosity, which phone is your daily driver now, bro?
*
Would love to see how HMS performs after a year or two, too. 😄

What about you? What's your daily driver now? And what phone do you have in mind next?

The Poco F2 Pro... it's the only way I can evaluate a phone - make it my daily driver, hahaha. At the moment I'm not eyeing any new phones yet, can't get any good bargains at the moment. Probably the OP8 if the price comes down a bit... The 8 Pro with the culture cam will have to wait laugh.gif
*
I see. 8 Pro gonna take a while. Btw, since u use both iPhone and android. How do you find the battery life on iPhone relatively? Standby time better than android?

Yes, the iPhone remains better at standby than Android. In usage, they are about the same, maybe the iPhone is just slightly more power efficient but not by much. The iPhone 11 Pro Max with a battery just under 4000mAh can pretty much give me 10 hours SOT over 2 days too...

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=94310792

Can't achieve that on any Android with that kinda battery size smile.gif
*
I see. I guess android still has a long way to go to beat iPhone in terms of power management and efficiency. I always think iPhone is marginal better, but different people give different answers. But yours is the most convincing since our SOT for f2p/k30p are quite similar. Thanks for the input 😄

QUOTE(Wazzzap @ Jun 21 2020, 07:05 PM)
there is this security update yesterday i think, after updating it my wifi connection is back to normal, no more interruption. this is weird

Glad that it got sorted out. So u didn't factory reset?

No worries bro smile.gif

For me the benchmark of a phone with good battery life is 10 hours SOT over two days, and I've achieved it so far with 5 phones prior to the F2 Pro (and I've tried many phones, hahaha): -

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1
iPhone 11 Pro Max
Realme 5
Galaxy S10 Lite
Realme 6 (although this one could be artificial as I achieved it during the MCO with 100% on WiFi)
*
So exynos line couldn't make it 😅. Good thing I ditched my note8

Was told even with the EU ROM that some bloatware remains, right?

Only the essential ones to qualify the basic necessities of a smartphone like dialer, messages, browser, video, music, file manager, clock, calendar and few others. It's a whole lot lesser than stock.
