So I got my phone yesterday and installed all the stuff I usually use , question is why does Netflix and other streaming apps look horrible on this phone ? Is it because of the screen ? I was using an old iPhone 6 as a temp while I waited for this and video looked so much nicer on that screen even on 480p. Anyone else think the playback on this is bad or is it just me ? I did have a note 8 but I sold it to try this phone, wanted to try something new. I know lcd and amoled are on each device but I don't think it should be that bad of a difference if I think an iPhone 6 looks better , any thoughts ? What's your experience with this coming from another phone flagship or not ? :good:
This is over data and wifi and both have decent speeds for netflixing or even YouTube IMO
Two different apns for T-Mobile in s.california
Edit also binge is off on my account
Hi,
im thinking to buy this phone , can you explain what do you mean that looks bad ? can you take a photo of the "issue" with another phone ?
thanks
I think I just found the problem to this. Correct me if I am wrong.
I believe there seems to be the same problem with mix 2. There is a licensing called widevine L3. And it only let's the device play on SD quality. Not HD. so... I think we are in a bit of a dilemma.

From what I'm reading Netflix isn't a app fault it's a phone thing it won't play anything pass 480p because of drmservices , I fixed YouTube with a moded version set it to 1080 on default I'm looking for a Netflix fix but I doubt will get one
I may have found a solution...

can other people confirm that issue ?
is very disappointing in case , would be good to know if will be present in mi mix 2s global version as well.
I just checked with DRM info app. The device supports only widevine level 3. But level 1 is required for netflix in hd,unfortunately.
It is just a matter of software (free of any licencing fees), though, we might ask xiaomi to implenent it..
I did send suggestion thru their feedback section I think we should all do it maybe they'll actually do something about it

You would have been better going a bit more in-depth, asking them specifically to add Widevine Level 1, to enable HD streaming

Also, has anyone with the Android P Beta checked the DRM info to see if Widevine L1 has been added?, If not can someone check please, thanks :good:

I believe all Mi Mix iterations have the issue, regardless of the ROM. BUT!, Widevine is owned or whatever by Google, so with Google giving the Mix 2s the Android P Dev Previews, I wonder if they would have included the L1 DRM for HD streaming

It's an absolute disaster from Xiaomi , i was near to buy the phone , i think they just lost a customer (unless global will have everything fixed but i don't think so)

Its the same with oneplus.
Again, if anyone knows someone who's running the dev preview, please get them to check, we'd appreciate it.
I don't think it's how it works with Netflix. Even if your device has software and hardware compatible with Netflix level of DRM, Netflix still will need to certify it, before you will be able to watch HDR10 resolution
That's why we root and install custom ROMs ;-/

Hello
Is there no one who can optimize Snapchat for our Honor 8? The H8 has a great camera and it's sad to see Snapchat not getting everything out of it. Is there any developer here who can do something about it? I know my best option would be contacting Snapchat but I doubt they will do something about it.

According to Snapchat their app has issues on the Android platform itself. Snapchat is planning to rewrite the Android app for the platform. This is what happens when you're not OS agnostic.
Currently, I doubt anything can be done about it since Snapchat is a closed source app. Unless, of course, some of the Jedi hackers on XDA are able to optimize it with the power of The Force.

Snapchat is rubbish anyway.
The thing is on Android because of the different kinds of hardware snapchat uses this bizzare way of optimising per device. It limits the resolution of the video or photo taken to the resolution of the screen. So for instance even if I had a high end phone with the best camera but with a 720 or 1080p display and my friend has a mid range phone with a 1440p display he'll definitely have great quality. The Honor 8 usually takes photos at a much higher resolution and snapchat just doesn't let it do so.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Some Samsung are making good photos even with Snapchat on zoom per example but with my Honor 8 if I zoom something it sucks
I don't use SnapChat, but everything I've heard about it indicates the programmers of the Android version were lazy and just take screenshots while the camera is on instead of actually using the camera to take the picture. That's why the resolution sucks and you get such poor quality when you zoom in. It is not a full resolution picture.
However, the weird spinning issue you have is likely due to the Honor 8's jacked up gyroscope. We can't use VR apps because of it. It seems to affect 100% of Honor 8's yet no update is coming to fix it. Not a high enough priority, I guess.
I read that Snapchat is going to rewrite the app from scratch on Android is this true? And when it will come out?

Yeah the app is pretty poorly developt for such a big company. But the 3D figures work perfectly on the honor 9 of my friend so i think it might have something to do with the messed up gyroscope of the honor 8. I hope honor will fix this in Android oreo but i dont expect it to happen. Sadly.

So I've been asking this question on almost all the new phones' forums recently because it's never mentioned in any of the spec websites or the manufacturers website. None of the YouTube tech channels check it either except for one which he also forgets to do for some of the phones.
The question is.... Is this phone Widevine L1 certified?
Anybody who already bought the phone can check through downloading an app via playstore. App name is 'drm info'.
Screenshot would be appreciated for anybody who are looking for this particular feature in the next phone they're gonna buy. Thanks in advance guys.
It might be worth waiting for the EU launch to check this as even if the Chinese variant doesn't have it (that market doesn't have the need for it do they?) the European/Global variant with all of the Google apps and framework might come with it.
I know the Honor 10 has it so I'm expecting this one to have it as well but, like you, I'm patiently waiting for confirmation. Honor UK never replied to this same question when I asked their Twitter account.

Thanks for the information dude.
Can you double check by playing a video called 'test patterns'.
You have 2 devices so look at the numbers and see if there is any difference.
That video will show you what resolution it's playing at.
For Netflix in HD you'll probably need the modified APK.
Not only does Netflix HD require Widevine level 1 but they (Netflix) have to put specific devices on their whitelist. The modified APK bypasses the whitelist but not the Widevine level, but that's fine because this device is level 1 anyway.

Try and download modified Netflix apk. I managed to install it on my note 10 and it streams in 720p, don't really know why I don't see 1080p like I do with the same modified app on my mate 10.

I am now able to see 1080p as well. It was just 720p on the first episode of "Test Patterns" other episodes give me 1080p so happy now.

It might have to do with the fact that the screen is not HDR10 certified, like the Mate 10 Pro's. Though I find it kinda silly, since this one basically uses the same panel.

I also think that it has something to do with HDR. Now Netflix seems to work with HD and HDR, but YouTube I haven't seen with HDR yet
i think just the matter of time until it got certified.

This is a temporary fix until Poco solves the Widevine issue for watching Netflix in HD and UltraHD.
Hi everyone, I have found a modded version of Netflix which allows HD and Ultra HD streaming on devices with WideVine L3 support.
I have extensively tested this app, it actually streams in 720p and above on Poco F1.
Instructions for 1st run:
Skip update and sign in, it may lag just close the app and reopen it and it will work after that flawlessly.
The link for HD only is: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i08g9us89xeu1xf/netflixlatest.hdonly.apk/file
And The link for Ultra HD is:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/8wmaxnftgr1h2m4/netflixlatest.ultrahd.apk/file
Credits:
The original thread is https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/netflix-hd-ultrahd-ultrahd-dolby-5-1-l1-t3535349
I spied the XDA thread on this issue. Great to have easy access to the APK.
The point stands though that it's harder than you might think to distinguish between Netflix at ultra HD and 540p on a phone, with the former using a lot more data.
Good to have the option though ?

It just shows HD logo beside the title but it actually doesn't work. If anything doesn't work on least copyrighted test patterns - it won't work on anything in Netflux. I also tried this on my unofficial Android box which has Widevine L1 but also fails and caps the video at 480p. The mod is just to enable the l9go besides the title

I also tried this on my unofficial Android box which has Widevine L1 but also fails and caps the video at 480p. The mod is just to enable the l9go besides the title

I thought it was interesting to see how much of a difference it makes -
Widevine Is not a software issue its hardware issue. Xiaomi cant update phones and Silve it just like that. Oneplus users had to return their devices to manufacturer to solve this so...

Btw the official miui forum states that it is already in development with google and Qualcomm.

It's actually a software issue, but the security key is stored in a secure partition that can only be accessed by authorised computers from manufacturers.

Good to see they're working on the software issues
"Will try" doesn't give me enough assurance though
Finally, i can watch netflix in HD on my mipad 4, thank thanks thanks ?
is it need subcription?
There was an option in camera app on my previous Samsung Galaxy S8+, and it appears it's an option with Huawei's Mate 20 series, that allows the camera to only record slow-mo video when motion is detected.
However, this 'only record when motion detected' slow-mo option is missing on my P30 Pro.
Can anyone with a P40-series phone let me know if Huawei put it back in?
EDIT: Never mind. Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps. Here's what I captured:
Yes its back..

Thank you, very much.
How frustrating.
Could you possibly do me a favor and let me know the version of the camera app you have?
That way, I can try to find an APK to sideload.

Interesting.

Global or Chinese? Which Version?
I'm in the UK with p40pro so must be global. Just do a system software update to 10.1.0.114
Never mind - Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps.
Here's what I captured:
Not sure if I'm finding the correct setting. But on my p40pro the option to record slow ow on on motion dection works on all fps options but you have to set the area where it my detect motion.

Off the topic query but how are you finding the p40pro till now in terms of camera and the software experience? ..i have ordered one here in UK and will probably get it in a couple of days

First off it it's a beautiful device and feels great in the hand. It's one of those devices that you find satisfying to touch.
The camera is excellent exactly how I expected it to be after owning a mate 20 Pro a last year, and that device ruined my experience of owning a note 10 plus as the camera on the note just couldn't compare.
Software is good although EMUI is one of my favourite android skins anyway. I find it pretty easy to live without gms as I don't really do social media or anything.
It is easy to put gms on this device although I took it off just to run a stock phone as stock. Due to the fact the only things I wanted from gms (Google pay and music) won't work anyway.
Main gripe with this phone is no gpay or banking apps. Hopefully Huawei can sort this soon. Oh and no stereo speaker or dolby atmos.
Now I need to decide whether to switch from my note 10 plus to this or not?

Thanks a lot..i had the note 10plus and i agree its a beautiful device though camera might be a level below p40pro. So its a tough decision.
I hv a iphone11 pro max and will probably use p40pro as a secondary phone mainly due to its camera

Yeah the note Is a good phone but Samsung ruined the note with a software update that made the camera blurry and the Bluetooth streaming skip on music play back. And seems as though I take 100+ inspection photos daily for work it's very annoying.
I just can't get on with Samsung ui either it's too much.
The thought of not being fully tracked by Google is quite refreshing as well.
It is weird how nice this phone feels... I find even if I'm not using it I just rotate it in the hand whilst watching TV odd.
