Hi to you,
according to an article on giga.de
they upgrade the widevine level from the pocophone to L1 now via an update.
Can anyone check with the latest global, what the current level of the mix 2s is?
If I remember correctly, the mix 2S also had only L3 when it was brought to life?!
Maybe ppl should rise and shout if its still L3 and the pocophone now gets L1 via update.
For whatever reason I can't go to advanced to post a link. If you look for my thread "HDCP Support" you'll see a screenshot today of 2 2s's showing L1 support.
Just wish I couls stream netflix through miracast
ETA: Security level L3, version 1.0....seems to still be l3
Install 'DRM Info' from the Play Store and check, it's that easy

If you own the phone already, it is, yes
But i m still waiting for mix 3 to be released.
Anyways thanks for the screenshot in that other post!
So maybe if enough ppl contact Xiaomi, they will also give L1 to the mix 2s
If you are talking about Netflix HDR, it's not something could be just upgraded by software or hardware, device needs to be certified my Netflix to be able to play HDR: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23939
Its not about HDR but just about HD, also for other streaming providers like amazon etc.

Android P update dropped for me today, still on Widevine L3 though.
Hi there !
I had a Xiaomi Mi Box 3 but it's unusable since Oreo and Xiaomi won't fix it. I'm mad about Xiaomi but there is nothing I can do about it.
So... I'm looking for something else. I would like to use Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, in 1080p, using wi-fi only. That's pretty much all I need actually, but I would like something smooth and on a budget (40€-50€ top).
I also must tell that I live in France so there is no way for me to get some stuffs (I know I can't get the Roku Express for exemple).
What device is made for me ?
Thanks for the help
So looks like I'm getting HD videos now on my tablet, I bought this like 2 weeks ago and Netflix did not stream anything in HD, I've updated the tablet to 8.0.0.192(C432) and low and behold i can now watch Netflix in HD!!! What's everyone's else's experience been?
I can watch Netflix in HD since I've got my M5 Pro. Don't know why u can't until u update.

I have the non pro version, they have different cpus compared to the m5 pro but for some reason I couldn't watch it before any way, not sure if any other non pro users have observed this.

Hi, I wanted to know if someone has tested if casting works when you install google apps on the phone
Yes,. Without any issues.

Thanks! How are you satisfied with your p40 pro? I am looking to upgrade between it and the galaxy s20+ so if you could give any feedback..mostly looking at the best camera on one of those two, as far as I've seen both received plenty of updates over the last few months that made most of the reviews obsolete so

Unfortunately yes, it is. The p40 pro and s20/s20+ have a 50% discount on my carrier currently so I'm limited to those. I wouldn't take them if it weren't for the pretty good deal.
And does netflix work normally? I've read that netflix doesn't support hd resolution on the huawei devices, is that issue gone with installing google apps? Anything else not maybe not working?

It works although you may not find it in the Google Play Store. I installed mine through the Aurora store. How can you tell if it's not playing back in HD? It looks crisp and clear on my phone., not blocky or pixellated.
Hi All,
I am currently an owner of a Xiaoxin Pad Pro 11 (2021). I'm happy with the performance but not the screen. I thought I would take the gamble and go for a Xioxin 12.6 as it has a newer AMOLED screen vs the 90hz OLED on my current one. The near black crush is terrible and I really do use it for quite a lot of media consumption.
Anyways. To the main point of the thread. The P12 pro is already listed on Lenovo UK site with 6gb RAM 128 SSD. The Xiaoxin is 8GB 250GB.
When I flash the international firmware from Rescue and Smart Assistant it is already listing a P12 Pro TB0Q706F with two HW Codes 16 or 19. Any clue which I would flash? I'm guessing the higher one is more likely the 8GB ram version?
Also the P12 pro is already listed on the netflix compatibility site for Dolby Vision. Once I flash the international version should Netflix see my tablet as a P12 Pro vs a Xiaoxin?
I know it's very early days but i'm hoping people can apply knowledge from earlier Lenovo tablets here.
Hi!
I also placed an order for this one, expecting it any day now. Exciting! To your question about HDR and DOLBY VISION on Netflix etc, I don't think there is much hope for that since it will probably still be the "prc" version after flashing the ROW ROM. But you never know!

My Xiaoxin Pad 12.6 arrives in the next day or 2 as well. Hoping the newer Samsung AMOLED doesn't suffer from blurry text as the OLED on the 11.
Did you flash the global rom to your Pro 11 and have use of Netflix in HD? Or did that have netflix hd capability out of the box?

Did they never solve that on the 2020 P11 Pro?
I figured as the hardware was the same it wouldn't know any different. Bummer

I've not received it yet. However my current tablet works with play store and you can download netflix no issue. Fingers crossed it will flash to a version netflix recognises for Dolby Vision.

From what I have read they never solved that, didn't get the same Build Fingerprint on the Xiaoxin as the P11 Pro, showed up in DRM Info as tb-j706f_prc instead of tb-j706f. Unfortunately I read all that AFTTER I placed the order on the 12.6, having no experience with Lenovo tablets from before. So I think there is very little hope for Netflix Dolby vision but it will still be a very pleasant tablet I assume.
OK same boat.
I'm not sure if the 2020 Xiaoxin has access to the play store etc out the box but the 2021 does. I can even download Netflix/Disney+ direct from the Google store now. Perhaps there's a change in stance.
All we can do at this point is keep our fingers crossed and hope what ever the 12.6 changes to when flashed to a P12 is recognised by Netflix.

The Xiaoxin Pad Pro 11 is an absolute beast from a hardware perspective. If you can use plex etc you really won't miss netflix all that much. Don't get me wrong it's a bummer having to torrent programs I already pay for a sub for but it's not the end of the world.
As long as the P12 Pro had a screen that handles near black better it'll be a fantastic tablet.
@mardon85
My Xiaoxin 12.6 arrived today. Widevine L1 certified, Netflix is working in full HD and HDR 10 and dolby vision is supported. I had to sideload netflix, it doesn't appear in the play store. Also I had an OTA update which didn't affect these results.
That's great news! So Netflix with Dolby Vision out of the box with ZUI 13? Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning

Yup. Play store was preinstalled, probably by Giztop? AMOLED is amazing, 120hz by default and text is sharp. Good improvements over the previous models.

I can also verify Netflix HDR + Dolby Vision in FHD. On HBO Max I can play Dune in 4K Dolby Vision but everything else is only FHD, weird? Amazon Prime: FHD, Dinsey Plus: FHD.
I agree that the screen is really great. 4K HDR content on Youtube looks as good as on my LG CX OLED TV.
I also had to sideload Netflix, and Play Store was installed, the plastic wrapping had been removed from the box. But I see why they do that, it's a little frustrating downloading Play Store from the native App Store app with everything in Chineese (Which I did after a factary reset).
I can verify that there is no GPS, I think it's only for the 5G models. In DRM Info it shows up as TB-Q706F-PRC in the Build Fingerprint as expected. Everything seems to be working fine so far. The only bug I've seen so far is that drop-down menys in Chrome is not working.
So who will be first to flash the ROW ROM? I don't have much experience there so I would prefer to let someone else give it a go first.
Oh and wifi 5GHz is limited to some specific channels, I had to reconfigure my router.

Thanks for this. My router is already sorted.

No, its my first Lenovo tab.
I'll follow this thread to see what results guys get with the international rom.
Someone's uploaded a first impressions video :
So... got too tempted and could not wait so I tried to flash it, the flashing process seems to go fine but the tablet tells me after that it's corrupt and then later it's stuck in the "Fastboot mode meny" (I don't know whats it is called but you know what I mean), cant to anything from there it just restart and go back there.
Any ideas?

Q: How can I share the entire logfile?
What process did you try via the Lenovo Recovery software or the 3rd Party App where you have to install the qualcom USB drivers first as used on other posts here?

So... I'm new to this. I tried first with the Lenovo Recovery tool, it flashed without problems but got stuck in fastboot. Then I tried Qfil where I also get a "Success", but corrupt device and stuck in Fastboot. Tried Qfil many times with some different settings.
I upgraded ZUI before all this, so the ROW firmware was older than what I had on the tablet, if that matters.
Tbh it sounds like you've tried everything I would have unfortunately.
There's a bloke at this link who explains the process quite clearly. Maybe it'll help?
China Tablets to recommend
it also took me a few tries to get it. so afraid of bricking it. Totally right... sigh... but now Vanced YouTube isn't working for me... can install but cannot connect to my Google account... EDIT: Found a solution on Reddit - disable Chrome under Apps & Permission, then log in to Google...
forums.hardwarezone.com.sg
Seems odd both methods fail. Does the lenovo route download from their server or ask you to provide a rom?
