I've just seen a report of screen burn in on the Whirlpool forum. I did a quick Google and this article indicates that 2 different panels are being used.
https://www.gizmochina.com/2019/05/...xel-3a-xl-oled-panels-are-supplied-by-tianma/
Is there any way to tell which panel mine is using?
If you are rooted, you can open a terminal app and issue the following commands:
su
dmesg|grep -i panel
Works best if you do it after a reboot.
Look for a line in the results with dsi_sofef00_sdc for Samsung or dsi_nt37700f_tianma for Tianma.
Mine came back as a Samsung.
Thanks for the info.
good info mine is a Samsung

Another way if you don't have terminal installed yet..
After reboot open EXKM
Go to tools menu and choose Save Logs
Choose dmesg
The dmesg file will be saved to internal memory
Then do find in text with file manager app
Worked for me ... Samsung here too
Send screen shot but it's disabled.. guess I did something

Anyway to find out without being rooted?
interested to know as well if there is a way to check without root?
So which panel had the burn-in problem, Samsung or Tianma?

Sorry for reviving a old thread but do you know if the command is different for Android 10. I recently purchased a 3a XL and every time in run the command I get this. Also saved the log via EXM and did a search nothing comes up with the code indicating either panel.
Thanks

Did you reboot right before creating the log? The entries for the display may no longer be in the buffer if subsequent messages have been logged.

Thanks for checking it, for some odd reason it doesn't still work on my phone even with the different terminal app . I even rerooted it .
Ran the same command on my pixel 2 with both terminals that came back fine. But on this phone nothing seems to work lol.
I'm thinking that some setting of my 3a xl might be messing with it. Everything that I have on my pixel2 is the same as far as apps/modules and root method.
I was just curious about which panel I have on my 3a xl . What ever panel it is it's better looking (cooler tone). Than the Samsung panel on my Pixel 2 lol
For the long battery life, screen size and panel color temp the purchase was worth it .

Sorry for reviving. But I have the same issue as you.
I even decided to make a boot script just so I could get the earliest info possible but it still doesn't show the panel.
All it returned was this:
Code:
[ 4.231586] c6 302 [TP] synaptics_rmi4_dsi_panel_notifier_cb: DRM blank 0, event 2
[ 4.234916] c6 302 [TP] synaptics_rmi4_dsi_panel_notifier_cb: DRM blank 0, event 1
Here is the boot script for reference:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
check=true
while [ $check = true ]; do
touch /data/local/tmp/panel.txt
panel=$(dmesg | grep -i panel)
if [ -n "$panel" ] || [ -n "$panel1" ]; then
echo "$panel" >> /data/local/tmp/panel.txt
check=false
fi
done
I assume we have the same panel and it just doesn't log itself to dmsg or something?
Anyway, my panel seems great and it's especially battery efficient.
Just some food for thought.

While poking around in the hidden app menu on the stock firmware I found this audio Cal menu. Only thing its in hexedecimal and I don't know it too much. Basically this menu will allow us to safely boost the speaker volume on our phones. Screenshot below. If anyone can help please chime in. I remember on the N1 audio.boost was impossible until cm7.

I was, however, able to get an almost instantaneous gps lock between gps status from the market and the gps "system settings" in the hidden menu.

You might want to send rotohammer a PM. If I remember correctly, he was the first to successfully achieve volume boost with the Nexus One. Since he has a g2x might be something he'd be interested in taking a look at.
I know this is not helping now but for 2.3 there is help. On the market app called volume + sound booster. Works on all my 2.3 devices.

Nice. I found the menu. I haven't tried tweaking the settings, but by default, mine are:

178

75

(Respectively, per your screen shot)
If you build your own kernel (or use the one I just posted in the OC/UV kernel thread), you can munge the star_wm8994 driver to allow you to write these registers directly.
I have successfully boosted the crap out of the headphone output (0x1c/0x1d), although the framework will periodically reset them when a call comes in or when you fiddle with the volume controls.
If you just want LOUD headphone output though, works like a charm.
You want to enable the data sysfs entry in star_wm8994.c, then once you have that and can cat:
/sys/devices/platform/star_wm8994/data
to see a dump of the wm8994 state, you can write:
1c 7f
...and...
1d 17f
to the data file (just echo will do), and you will have maxed out headphone boost.

I wanted to know if Rogers version of One X has Service mode enabled, since AT&T's firmware has it disabled.
HTC phones usually come with it loaded and you can access it by dialing *#*#7262626#*#*
This way you can do the network reading, and I'm particularly interested in LTE section.
If anyone can verify this that'd be great! And post some screens.
Thank you.

I know FieldTest.apk works on all Android HTC phones previously, but using an old version will not have LTE menu options.

Send the AT commands my way!
Works on all Qualcomm devices (need to reboot after), must be connected to a network beforehand:
Code:
su
stop ril-daemon
cat /dev/smd0 &
This enables Field test mode:
echo -e "AT$FTM=1,95\r" > /dev/smd0
// Get 3G info
echo -e "AT$WCDMA?\r" > /dev/smd0
You will receive something like:
$WCDMA: 0,65535,1987,-76,203,58625,-1377959936,1,44,0,0,"32","c975"
Which is (off the top of my head):
?,?,ARFCN,signal,?,?,?,?,?,0,0,LAC(in hex), Cell id (in hex)
GSM (2G) is:
AT$GSM?
More here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_GSM
Anything in the format:
AT$xxx? will work IIRC.
I guess LTE would be:
AT$LTE?
I discovered this while making my program to get the frequency used on the phone.
If someone sends me FieldTest.apk from that phone I can verify if anything has changed from previous HTC field test apps...
Have you figured out how to access Rogers One X through FieldTest.apk or ATC?
I used following code and tried AT\r, but got 0; and tried other commands, but got 4. Any hint or idea?

Too bad it requires a factory reset to exit demo mode...
I played with demo mode and it was nothing special.
When I went to factory reset the phone, it asked for a password.
That freaked me out for a bit because I never set a password.
After searching XDA, I discovered that the password that Motorola
used was "demomodeexit"(without the quotes). I'm posting this
here again just in case someone runs into this problem.

I bought a refurbished RAZR Maxx HD from MobileKarma and it's in Demo Mode. I tried hard/factory reset several times and it doesn't ask for password. When I begin to setup the phone it recognizes my Gmail account and settings but within 2 minutes the demo mode takes over and loads all demo stuff. Another "feature" of demo mode is only 45% battery charge.
Any ideas??? Anyone???

an to uninstall it you have to factory reset your phone and it ask for a password to do it, the pass is demomodeexit

Perhaps try to connect the phone to a computer and manually delete demo mode from the phone, then one more factory reset? It's worth a shot at least. Make sure to back up the demo mode files first though, just in case.
Unlock the boot loader... That will work
To those who wanted to exit demo mode. Try these steps:
Step 1: Go to PlayStore,
Step 2: Download "All-In-One ToolBox"
Step 3: After installing > Open the App, Go to Toolbox > Go to Boot Speedup > Then System Apps (from the upper tabs)
Step 4: Find Demo Mode (It should be Enabled) > Disable It.
Step 5: Exit the App & Reboot your phone. You're Done.
**No more Annoying "Demo Mode running" notification on the status bar**
Give a Thanks, by liking the "Thanks" button, if it helped.

How to run ADB on Windows for the MediaPad X2 ( and probably other Huawei devices ) :
* Windows: Download the HiSuite from Huawei ( for the adb drivers )
http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
* Windows: Download the adb 15 second installer ( and install with admin level )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
* Smartphone/Tablet: Set your device to USB debug mode
- Go to Setting - About Phone
- Press 7 times on the Build number until you see a message that you have access to the developer options
- Go to Setting - Developer options
- Enable "USB debugging"
* Windows: Run the abd command
- Search for cmd, right click and select "Run as Administrator"
or
- Go to c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe, right click and "Run as Administrator"
* CMD box:Enter the following commands:
- cd c:\adb
- run the command you need.
For instance to change the DPI for your phone / smartphone:
- adb shell wm density 280 ( or whatever number you need. The X2 runs at 400, the Sony Z Ultra runs at 320 ).
Reboot your device after making changes
Hi. Any way to get the drivers alone, without installing all hisuite?
Thx
Can you post some screen shots of the X2 running in 280dpi please ?
What the advantages of changing the dpi ? is it you can get more on the screen ?
Is it possible to change dpi using an app and could it be set on a "per app" basis ?
I don't want to screw up EMUI

The dpi changes can always be undone. So you are not going to screw up EMUI.
Here are some pictures that ajsmsg78 posted:

You gain about 60% more content on your screen in Chrome etc... At 400 ( default ) dpi, the X2 its screen content is nothing but a oversized smartphone. With 280dpi, its a tablet with way more usable area.
At first i also doubted if it was worth the effort, because it took me a long time to figure out all the steps. That is why i wrote this manual, so its way more easy for other people. Will it screw up EMUI, yea, for a part:
The new installed program icon's will have a green area. The basic 5x5 will not change size with the new DPI ( because Hauwei is so stupid as to hardcode the grid size around the 400 dpi ). But you can use any other launcher instead of the EMUI launcher. I kind of like Action 3 ( Action launcher 3.5 ) as a replacement.
The few disadvantages are really few, compared to the massive gains you get. The Sony Z Ultra was running in 320dpi and still had chrome in smartphone mode ( no tabs etc ). 280dpi on the Sony's 6.4" was not feasible. But on this 7" X2, 280dpi is the perfect size and it opens up several programs there tabled mode.

Can you post some screen shots of the X2 running in 280dpi please ?
What the advantages of changing the dpi ? is it you can get more on the screen ?
Is it possible to change dpi using an app and could it be set on a "per app" basis ?
I don't want to screw up EMUI
Thanks

Make sure you check these threads daily. A lot of stuff gets posted that you may not have seen and then the same questions get asked over and over again. You could even start a new thread in the Q&A section asking for someone to post pictures of what the phone looks like at 280dpi. You'd probably get a faster response if you did that. It makes it easier to look through each thread if we all keep the topic about what the original post was about. :good:
Thanks very comprehensive answer
I want to set my dpi to 280 now but can't without access to my laptop
Will have access to computer in a few days and will do it then
The X2 has to be connected to the lap top

Wow! Something new to think about! I assumed that you saw MORE content on the display because the display is bigger. But now I understand that's not the case. If you do what's on the instructions that Benjiro figured out does that void the warranty?

So I followed the steps to a T and was able to get my booloader unlocked. But now with the Rooting I can't seem to find my device. It finds it with Fastboot but not adb. I've tried 3 different computers and usb cords with the same results. I just want to root this, any adb advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm getting can't find device.

I get the same "cannot find device" error but ADB still works. Try the commands and see if they work. Or update your Android Platform tools to the newest version.
Hi!
Thanks for the guide!
Is there a way to fix the navbar disappearing in horizontal mode? When I hold the X2 in landscape mode the Navbar is still there (a black stripe) but the Back/Home/Recent Apps Buttons are missing. Tried several DPI settings.
EDIT!
For some reason it works now! The navbar is now on the right side of the screen when in landscape mode! I switched DPI several times one after another (280, 320, 400, 330, 300, 280, 320 something like that) and rebooted and somehow it works (320DPI).
But there is one big problem: the famous and extremely useful keyboard "Swiftkey" becomes totally unusable below 400 dpi.
A big disappointment more on this X2 ....
No problem if you change dpi via the kangvip menu
For this install AJ's B211 Rom

I was taking some video at a music gig I ran sound for last night and was having problems where the frame would freeze for like a second or two then catch up. Does this on the playback also does the same thing. My pixel 2xl didn't do this at all. Phone was keep stationary so wasn't like it couldn't keep up with motion or anything. Anyone else having this problem?

Interesting, and not in a good way. Like to hear what Pixel support has to say about it.
I haven't asked but i might be sending them this tomorrow

I just ran a test, recorded a 4 min video with no freezes. Curious if you had lots of apps loaded in memory, or if it was especially warm in that room. I checked and only had a couple of apps loaded. Just two things I thought of. Still would be very interested in what support says. I do sometimes take fairly long videos of music performances. Never had that issue on my previous phone either.
I would start no but also never had problems with my pixel 2xl a oneplus 6 or any other phones I've had in the past. I could do a factory reset and see if that's fixes it. I highly doubtful it will do anything

Phone didn't get warm. Room was standard temps around 72 degrees

Called Google support and talked to a pixel 3 support guy. After trying a bunch stuff including clearing cache and app data. We were able to replicate the problem over the phone. He had my revert the stock camera app back to the original version when the phone was released and appears to be working fine. I will report back once I'm able to take more videos.

How did you revert back to a previous version of the camera app? Isn't the current Sep 5th update the same one the phone was released with?
Go to the settings page and find the camera app and click clear cache and data then click the disable button, this should uninstall and updates then if it doesn't take you the playstore then go too the playstore and find the Google camera app and go to the top right hand corner and click the drop down thing and uncheck the auto update function.
