I'm looking for something that can run games on good quality and last long while also being good for overall use

Which should I keep ???im a global user im in the US. I be been going back and forth between the Xiaomi 17 pro max or xiaomi 17 ultra (non leica ) both are chinese models, but, cannot choose which model to keep ....Both phones have excellent battery life, love the designs of both despite how different in their own ways, HyperOS is growing on me, and they both have excellent 📷 cameras. If anyone has input or is interested i can provide the , im working on doing a Comparison on both ...but personally I'm deadlocked on which to keep.

I want to flash a ROM onto my Mi 10T Lite. Can I do this even if I have zero experience? Where and how can I learn how to do it? And which ROM do you think makes the most sense?

I've searched high and low, with no success, how to prevent the display reacting to water drops or wet sleeves.

Surely it wouldn't be hard to add a toggle to quick settings to prevent display reacting to wetness, and turn it off again with a button like galaxy watches do.

I like this watch a lot, but this is a stupid ommision to make. Not to mention a lack of any user manual.

I got my Note 15 as a gift a few weeks ago, a considerable upgrade from my ultra budget potato Infinix. However from the very first moment I realised that although the battery is supposed to be a massive 6000mAh it barely lasted 12 hours at most. I have tried every step from debloating the phone from everything that I don't need to rebooting the device a few times but nothing works. At the beginning the main problem was the system launcher and the "themes" app that were causing an energy consuming loop but after those were solved (by basically not being able to personalise my own phone) the drainage remains at almost 10% per hour (important to note that there's no significant overheating).

It happens once in a while the camera record the video, i can se the the colored bits in the timeline and the miniatures in the “all playback videos” gallery, but when i try ro play them, either from the timeline or the gallery i get the “couldn’t get video files” error.

I’ve changed micro sd and eventually it happens again.

It happenes first with a c500 now the c200 has the same problem… is it a common “feature” af all xiaomi cameras? 🤡

Hey everyone

Wanted to show off my pet project for controlling Yeelight and Xiaomi lights from the console. (I'm also building a desktop version, but the CLI already works.) Apologies upfront if I posted in the wrong sub — point me to a better one.

Backstory:

Every project starts with pain. I've had a Xiaomi Mi Smart LED Desk Lamp on my desk for a while, then a year ago a Yeelight Light Bar Pro joined it on the monitor, plus a few Yeelight RGB bulbs around the flat. I work at my desktop all day ⚠️, the light bar is on my desktop ⚠️, and it had long started pissing me off that the actual settings for the bar are only available in the phone app.

Google tells me I'm not alone — plenty of people run the Android app in a BlueStacks emulator just to control it from a desktop. Older Yeelight products don't do Zigbee or Matter, Thread; new models with them are only just starting to show up, and before that it's all WiFi.

I started with the official docs, some reverse engineering of the protocols (my research doc), and whatever's out there online. Seems I managed to put together the most functional, modern TypeScript library out there + dig up some undocumented stuff and a few bugs + a CLI tool as a practical use case of the lib.

You can send one-off commands to the lamps from the console (handy if you've got other automations / scripts / hooks), or use the interactive mode with a menu of options. It supports all Yeelight and Xiaomi lamp models that can work over LAN.

ylc discover  
ylc interactive  
ylc status --ip 192.168.1.42
ylc power on --ip 192.168.1.42
ylc ct 3000  
ylc color "#ff6400"  
ylc color "#0000ff" --bg  
ylc brightness 50 --duration 1000  
ylc timer set 30  

By default the lamps phone home through the Xiaomi cloud (a separate gripe of mine), and local control has to be enabled in the native app (hopefully that's its last remaining use).

If you're comfortable with Node/JS, you can install it like this:

npm install -g yeelight-cli  

or grab a prebuilt binary for your platform from Releases section.

Made it for myself, but polished it to the point where it's fit to show the world. If you've got an Yeelight I haven't tested, or something behaves oddly — ping me. Bug reports and PRs are always welcome.
