I've got one! Ask me your questions. - Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers

Hey,
I just received my Realme X2 Pro. The device is in my hands, ask me your questions if you want to get some details about it. BTW, I'm loving it!

Hi! Can you tell me if the Realme X2 Pro is compatible with usb hubs, hdmi out connection and so on? I read somewhere that it is not, but it feels quite strange and anachronistic. Thanks!

I really can't tell as I'm not using any of these ?

Which version did you have? CN/EU/IN?
would you kindly also share about the bloatware in it, also about the digital assistant that is pre-installed (CN has Breeno, I'm wondering if it also came pre-installed on other version)

How is the audio from the 3.5 mm jack?

EU version I got from Amazon Spain with English language is one of the most bloat free operating systems I've ever had on a phone.. Even some of the Google apps that aren't usually removable can be uninstalled. Default assistant is Google.
Edit: Should work with USB hubs as it does have usb otg.

I got the Realme buds with it, and believe me I have an excellent audio quality!

As @ngagephone said, we don't have so much bloatware. We can uninstall them. There is just Facebook services, Facebook App Installer and Facebook App Manager that I can not uninstall them and I just disabled them. And frankly that Coloros is very good.

Mine is VCA5JAEH.
(I made fastly a photo of the charger with macro mode )

Does it support SIP (VoIP calling) natively? I've read it doesn't but I wonder about this as it's supported since Vanilla Android 2.3.
Have you experienced any inconveniences with Color OS? (e.g. aggressive RAM/power management, lags, counterintuitive design, missing functionality, heat issues)
How's the navigation (accuracy, gps fix time, compass)?

Yes, it supports VoIP.
Not experienced any inconveniences. My only problem is I cant set google assistant as default assistant and call her with a phrase.
Ram is good, no lags super smooth not heat issues (played dead effect 2 for 2-3 hours straight). Overall recommend this phone.

What I know is not working for HDMI out. I try with USB C - HDMI dongle from Apple.
OTG work just fine. Even I'm not specifically test USB hub, but I'm sure it will work, as my USB and Logitech receiver work just fine.

Of course. Someone who used VCA5JACH stuck on 75-85% battery while charging even the supervooc is activated.
I recommend VCA5JAEH or VCA5JAUH.

I have mine for a few days now. And can re-address these two issues now.
I assume, it really supports VoIP via Skype, WhatsApp and so on. But even with intense search I haven't found any SIP option in the system and the caller app. Seems like I have to install an alternative call & contact app.
On the other hand google assistant works quite good. It isn't integrated in the launcher. But one can call it with the phrase if Voice Match is activated (possible within the Google Assistant -> tap on your profile picture at the top right corner) and activate it via long press on home button / power button.

Can you receive WhatsApp notification on your screen-off clock?
The CN version can't. It's pretty disappointing..

Does it use color OS or Realme OS?

It uses Color OS but an altered Realme version of it as far as I understand. But it still says Color OS.

[Q] Cyanogenmod and the IncS camera lag

I've run a search and can't find a concrete IncS specific (or otherwise Sense related) answer.
I went about installing Cyanogenmod 7 on my Incredible S and it worked wonderfully save for the camera application. The refresh rate on the preview was horribly low and there was significant lag compared to while on Sense.
I'm aware that the Sense apk cannot be used on non-Sense ROMs. I'm curious to know what other IncS owners running Cyanogenmod 7 do in regard to camera functionality. I've since hopped back over to Virtuous but would like to use Cyanogenmod again if I could sort out the camera issue.
Thanks guys.
There is a miui camera that significantly improves the camera functionality.
I posted it in general, in the cm7.thread in here

I've been trying to fix this for a while and have found no solution. MIUI camera, FX camera, and Tiny Photo are are a few options (but I agree about MIUI - doesn't fix anything).
Question - do you find when you're taking a picture from a different app it works ok? When I use the camera app I get the noise, but if I use WhatsApp for instance take a picture and attach is, I find there's no noise.
I don't think the stock cyanogenmod camera is setting the iso properly, I've tried it on auto, and on every other setting, but the resulting photos all seem to come out the same, with lots of noise.

It works better in certain situations for some reason. Sometimes lots of grain, sometimes none. But my main point is - it doesn't compare to Sense in any way, from quality to UI and back..a lot of room for improvement
This problem had been discussed over and over again. The only way to fix it is to find someone with knowledge in programming and digital camera programming to decipher the code in the sense version of the camera software.
Well I just got back from my international holiday trip and not totally impressed
The phone worked fine with the international sim card, hate that I can't see what's downloading in the background (google sync, android stuff), because my credit was running out fast and all I used was facebook which was free on the carrier. (social networking)
Also, camera took quite good photos but not as good as the sense. I love how it did widescreen photos rather than just a box size. Also I found my battery died a lot when I wanted to use it.. sitting by the pool and surfing facebook for 1h would use about half the battery. and can't put tiamat on my phone either.
so right now my phone is just sitting in my drawer, because my family member gave me their old iphone and find it more reliable for the time being
I just can't get used to android after having it for over a month, must just be me. I'm not giving up though. Maybe next step is to try another ROM.
Why didn't you turn off data and auto sync?
You seem like the iPhone type lol

An hour of constant internet for me uses 15 percent battery approximately. (screen on the entire time)
I consider that pretty good

I suppose that rules out Cyanogenmod for us lest we cripple the camera function?

Well, I had an international sim with internet so no reason to turn off data, and would prefer auto sync the same as back home. everything was off except facebook updates.
Also on cyanogenmod, camera is good and clear but doesn't go in widescreen like stock ROM does (I really want to go back to stock but i cant ) and no photo editing effects built in on cyanogenmod. hmm.

My miui camera went nuts today. I can only see the image on half of the screen while taking pictures. It's like the menu area is unwilling to release its reserved screen area.

Atrix hd still supports webtop?

Found this lurking around in my system
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Yes in fact the desktop dock manual shows how you can use webtop when it's in there... I have not tried it yet though...
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
Actually it does not support webtop because in this way it can reduce the cost of the phone.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
it's in the manual for the dock, but so are other options that I do not have when plugging in my Atrix HD into the desk dock (no hdmi attached)
through software, it might be possible to enable or install this capability (Lapdock or webtop) in our ATRIX HD ???
Some developer who can give us your opinion?

I have a lapdock and I use my AHD with it. Chrome or even the OEM browser covers everything I ever needed. the other apps will take care of the document editing and pdf/pps presentations.

The crux is the missing tablet ui without webtop and also the lower resolution. Atrix / Razr HD both using 1280x720, while native lapdock solution is 1366x768. Of course you can use the phone mode (or editing dpi settings in build.prop), but it isn't the same look and feel as with webtop 3.0. there is a lot of loosed space just because of the big softkeys and the wide system bar.
All i want is a native hdmi output or at least a true tablet mode without rebooting. On the other side, i dont need a linux like webtop 2.x, just a tablet look and feel over hdmi on my tv or lapdock.
A little what I've been working on
1, Get all your display size: max out over scan in the settings> display menu
2, Annoyed with the screen backlight on and it draining battery? This app (also on market) works perfectly, if you go into settings> hdmi, auto hdmi detection, the screen will shut it down when you connect and turn back on when you disconnect, just like in the proper webtop.
Be sure to set these while unconnected because it will behave the opposite if you dont. Also good idea to enable shaking wake function for failsafe.
Bad news is the current JB leak doesnt have HDMI support yet, the phone has it so it should appear sooner or later, but if the razr hd has it, we can just use that rom.
3, Ill be finding a call recorder and then trying to have it play back audio through phone speaker next. The lapdock speakers are horrible.
To be honest, you shouldnt be worried about the resolution that much, because the webtop 3.0 was really at hiding the statusbar and giving you your screen space, the current soft buttons do that more, so alot of times you are actually getting more display than before.
Found an app that fixes the audio routing problem.. Allthough its not automatic to switch back to headset/speaker from speaker only when you disconnect from lapdock, i might just cook up a macro to fix that.
What else you need? Hide soft buttons? May have something for that later

Ubuntu Touch as daily driver

I see a need for a discussion thread that deals with Ubuntu Touch (preferably on Nexus 4) as a daily driver. There are several threads discussing multi boot, restoring Android etcetera etcetera. This thread is for people who want to discuss the day-to-day usage of Ubuntu Touch as their main phone. This shoud be the perfect place to post info about new as well as know issues, strengths, shortcomings, new apps - simply things to help each other out and share tips, tricks, workarounds and more to improve the user experience.
To start out, I would like to know if anybody has a workable solution for adding a foreign keyboard layout, in my case Swedish. I have already tried the suggested steps on the Touch/ReleaseNotes page but had no luck so far with "sv" as the utf-8 code. I still have the original en_US layout.
I heard that it had terrible battery life. Of course the lack of apps (whatsapp for me) is a dealbreaker. OMGUbuntu has a nice article about why UT isnt a good daily driver.

Many of the things stated in the article you mention are correct, but I think battery life should not be the dealbreaker. The drain for me has ranged between 3% and all the way up to 8-9% per hour. It is nowhere near as good as the Nexus 4 with Android, but then again it is not yet fully optimized. For me the daliy driver experience should be mostly improved by working bluetooth, Swedish keyboard, a decent e-mail client and some kind of calendar sync with Google. I hope that Canonical focuses on fixing the basic stuff first and foremost. More apps and settings options will come eventually.
Headset issues
Bluetooth is still not working, but I am also having problems using a wired headset for phone calls. It "sort of" works, but the person at the other end complains about choppy sound. The headset is fine when I listen to music etc.
Anyone sharing this experience?

I have been following that thread for a while, but I found it was turning more into a discussion about ROM versions, different kernels, install problems, the upcoming 14.04 release and things that seem more aimed at developers. It is getting increasingly difficult to find information about using the current "stable" build v1.0 (r100), which I guess will be updated OTA in the coming weeks and months. I know UT is not aimed at the common user just yet, but I want a thread for us adventurous users that want an alternative to Android on our Nexus phones.
Photos
Is it just me, or do photos on the Nexus 4 taken with Ubuntu Touch look considerably better than its Android counterparts?
Some interesting facts about pictures taken under similar conditions outdoors:
Ubuntu Touch
Image size: 3264x1836
Resolution: 72 dpi
Bit depth: 24
Size: 1.49 MB
Android:
Image size: 3264x2448
Resolution: 72 dpi
Bit depth: 24
Size: 1.46 MB
Despite more pixels, the Android image has much more noise and when enlarging it looks really blurry, while the UT image still looks nice and sharp. I thought the Nexus 4 camera was crap, but now I actually find it pretty useful, I like!

Android 10 is here !

I just saw on Sammobile that some firmwares based on Android 10 has just been released for the A405F/FN/FM !

Exactly. Apart from that I wouldn't know the phone got an update. Maybe the status bar is a bit different but I can't really see anything differnet. Keep in mind tho I also haven't really tested anything yet. But I really thought it would be some bigger changes

(Was away from home, so wanted not to take any 'risks')
Now installed, went trouble-free in 20 maybe 30 minutes. Only few changes here and there (graphics for battery usage, camera, navigation bar gestures). Used Nova Launcher before, now I'm gonna give the OneUI a spin for a while. Screen can accept 5x6 icons (plus bottom row), I don't remeber if that is increased, but was used to 5x7 with Nova.
Saw one (A50) v.10 review on youtube that claimed increased performance in bechmarks, so tried that. Could not confirm any increase with PCMark.

- when taking a screenshot, you get an option to scroll down one or more times, then the screens below get collage'd on, to one long image. That's actually quite clever..
Oh, and one negative : Seems I have now a more or less permanent notification "Samsung account. To continue using services securely, sign in again." Dismiss and it will return shortly. Quite annoying, but googling seems to confirm no solution atm. Hope they decide to remove it later on....

I confirm that A40 outputs audio through USB C no problem (android 10). Using with dac/amp Topping NX4 DSD. I write this because I have read all over net that this does not work, but the gamble paid
Ah that sucks.
You could disable the notificatuo for it tap&hold but its still bad if you want to keep it neat
I'm still waiting for update...
I have installed Android 10 update, and I have noticed now the front camera only shoots in maximum 16MP mode.On Android 9 you could shoot with maximum 25MP mode ,why did they limit something which was already working.Also if anyone is still on Android 9 it would be helpful to know which version of Samsung Camera is on Android 9?
Android 10 version is installed in my phone.
In summary, One UI 2.0 with better Dark Mode support and full gestures that remember me to MIUI implementation.
Battery drops earlier, surely due to new ROM installed and I've to wait for ROM stabilize.

I have installed Android 10 update, and I have noticed now the front camera only shoots in maximum 16MP mode.On Android 9 you could shoot with maximum 25MP mode ,why did they limit something which was already working.Also if anyone is still on Android 9 it would be helpful to know which version of Samsung Camera is on Android 9?

In camera app never I can't set image resolution, only I can set video resolution.
Looks like everyone have update installed except me. I see that it should be already pushed to my phone by the end of May. My girl have the same model and she is happy Android 10 user from beginning of May. Any ideas how to force update or check why it not showing in update section? I already cleared cache for google play services and google framework service and still no update

Nokia 8 Sirocco Google Cam mod not working after Andriod 10 update

Hi All,
Phone : Nokia 8 Sirocco
I used to have a working Google cam mod on my phone until the Andriod 10. Now none of the mods I install works! It just crashes.
Does anyone know which works on this!?
Yes, me too... Please, help !
With killercam v1, just video work...
HAL3 is disabled
Hello,
It seems that HAL3 support for Camera is missing from the Android 10 build. I've send an email to Nokia support today. Until it is fixed, and you(generally speaking) are still on Android 9, and use Gcam mod, stay away from the update.
I hope problem with GCam will be resolved soon.
They disabled Raw with this Android 10 update.
We paid premium so we could have less quality camera, and camera app options than mid-range Nokia's ?
Remember, no Lightroom raw capture and edit possible either.
Same here, I have tried lots of Gcams and all not working, except the stock one from Play Store, but are missing important feature like night mode....

The posted solution results in a working GCam but I would not agree that HDR works. Yes, the menu is active and you can toggle the feature on but there is no difference in the photos at all (at least to my eye). I suppose that the app is taking normal snaps without HDR, regardless of the chosen mode.

I guess the only way is to root the phone and enable Camera2 API. (HAL3) .

I really hope MHD fixes it, if not, it was my last Nokia. I understand if you have to root a budget phone. But if I pay close to premium price, I also expect the software to work, without me touching it.
No HDR, broken glance screen, broken play store, increased battery drainage, worse wifi connection. It went from a phone I was really happy with, to a phone that pisses me off every day.
Rant end. Thanks for the suggestion but I'm gonna wait. Have a nice day!

I contacted them and said that would raise the issue further , but needs more users to complain to them in order to fix this.
First picture is Sirocco and second is 7 Plus both on Android 10,where on Sirocco RAW capture is disabled and enabled on 7 Plus.

I also asked, and the German Nokia support said that they are aware of the issue and would try to get it sorted out with another security update as quickly as possible

I wanna know the method you used to unlock it ?
I am gonna try to enable the RAW Capture
I have unlocked it through Hikari Calyx. I have paid 9$ (41 Ron). He accessed my PC through Team Viewer and used a virtual USB to attach a smartcard. With that he reflashed my phone with android 9 (but you can choose 8 also) and unlocked the BL.
Everything was done within 24 hours.
This was my first phone with a unlockable BL and i have missed a lot having root on my phone. Now with root is like i'm having a new phone
P.s. : After unlocking the BL you can OTA upgrade to 10 if you wish but i do not see the reason. 9 has everything and none of the issues of 10.
With 10 google disabled ACR functionality.
HDR api disabled by HMB
Huge battery drain (do not know the reason)
A2dp issues
Etc..
Although with root you can fix all the issues i rather not have them in the first place. Therefore i will stay on 9 at least until a good stable 10 comes out of HMD global.
