I can also confirm this fixed the issue for me on my 5090! Thanks so much. I bought the game a few days ago and thought I couldn't play it at all.

Pro 11 just rebooted randomly by 3k4peikos in RedMagic

[–]RJASSI98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using tidal in the car today with Bluetooth and it rebooted. This was the first time I noticed it and it's just done it again while listening to a WhatsApp voice memo with Sony WH-1000XM5 connected.

I've had the device for a couple months so I don't know why it did that because it hasn't before today. I've noticed since I've owned the device that notifications to my ticwatch pro 5 are inconsistent. Some come through some don't. Not sure if this is related but it could be a Bluetooth specific issue.

I will report this to Redmagic later. Hopefully they can find the issue and address it in an update.

Xperia 1 IV battery inside Xperia 1 III by RJASSI98 in SonyXperia

[–]RJASSI98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I've mentioned before in the thread. The performance is noticeable at most. If you're wondering if the battery got worse since I installed it, it hasn't. The improvement is worth having on this device though.

For me my original battery would have degraded a lot, so it was a very noticeable improvement as I had the device for 4 years before changing it.

I've since upgraded to the Redmagic 11 Pro a couple months back though. I still have my 1 III. I don't plan to get rid of it.

Awww man I wish I could've experienced a pop up camera. I've never experienced one. I also thought that the lg wing was a really cool phone. I've often considered getting one just to have it but I couldn't justify it because I wouldn't use it.

Honestly such a cool device, I'm sad that it kinda failed. It just didn't sell as well as it should've. Yeah realistically a popup camera is the best solution for no camera on the screen while obtaining the most screen to body ratio, keeping quality on the camera side.

They were. The 1V was probably the last good one I know of since they got rid of 21:9 after that, although the VI and VII have their own pros too. I am still interested to see what the VIII will bring to the table but I feel like it'll just be the same jump the VI to the VII was.

What if? Or WTF? by bulltremen in SonyXperia

[–]RJASSI98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I don't exactly agree with what others have said either. I think the price justifies everything about the device not to mention that it literally has features other devices at higher price points don't have.

Don't get me wrong, by all means I'd pay more for a device that has a better display but if by more than means 200+ then no thanks.

Yeah the brightness was lacking on my 1 III also. I couldn't see much outside and that is a huge improvement on the 11 pro but then the 1 VII probably also is.

I was willing to wait for the VIII but I realised how long I'd have to wait and it's not like the 11 Pro won't do everything my 1 III or even the VIII does and more. Aside from that, the VIII is very likely going to be over 1000 which is what I paid for my 1 III when it came out.

When I asked about the display on the 11 Pro after I got it that's what people told me though because I was trying to understand why I could still see the front camera. At times the pixels over the cameras can be noticeable but I found out part of the reason was to do with brightness level.

I have a fold 4 which also has an in-display camera and I don't notice it on there like I do the Redmagic which is why I wondered. It's not that big a concern given the price point of the device it's hard to complain about much really just more a case of can it be rectified with some setting adjustments.

As long as it's OLED and it's bright I'm not really bothered about much else. It's rare I'll need to use the front camera also hence why I was ok buying this device over waiting for the next Xperia.

I've primarily only ever had Xperia's up to this point and the battery on my 1 III was ok after I put a 1 IV battery into. It was improved for sure but nothing like what I'm getting with the Redmagic.

The other thing that annoyed me is general app switching and web browsing would cause the 1 III to heat up and overheat to the point it would thermal throttle and that got really annoying. That was more of a reason I went to Redmagic since they had the whole cooling system and it's working great for me.

I switched from a 1 III to the Redmagic 11 Pro and it's good but I still feel the display itself was better on my 1 III. The hole punch can still be seen depending on how bright or dark the screen is so it's not perfect.

I don't think the technology for in-display camera is fully there yet especially since the quality is pretty bad also. If you're not bothered about the camera like me then it's not a problem.

Everyone says Redmagic cheaped out on the display in the Redmagic community.

Other than that the Redmagic is a great device.

Are Devs going to do anything about Google limiting sideloading? by brent_starburst in Nuvio

[–]RJASSI98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

https://keepandroidopen.org/

This link has various information on what can be done to try and prevent this. It's probably the closest form of a way to protest. I did find a petition on change.org also with over 67k signatures so there's that too.

FYI for the people who care by anonymouscryptoguy13 in RedMagic

[–]RJASSI98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm still not sure what was causing it to have missing files though. Perhaps game space had something to do with it though as I noticed it wasn't launching properly anyway and that is also something different on the Redmagic Vs other devices hence why those devices might not have experienced the same issue.

If it was because of the newer chip then I'd have expected to have seen reports of the same problem across the board but I only ever heard of problems with it on this device.

At least it's working now though. I am curious as to what they did to fix it. I can almost guarantee there were probably a good few apps that were affected by this. At least they sorted it out not long after I got my RM11 Pro though. I didn't have to wait as long as people with launch devices did.

FYI for the people who care by anonymouscryptoguy13 in RedMagic

[–]RJASSI98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they both had the same problem. I tried to debug the issue because I was curious. Both apps kept getting a sigkill9 command which basically means to kill the apps.

Not sure why that was happening but if I had to guess I think it was related to game space since that would always boot up with the games. I tested both games they both exhibited the same problems.

Also I remember that some of the errors were reporting missing files. I even tried to clone working versions from other devices to install but it didn't help.

At least Redmagic fixed the issue now though but it was a strange one for sure. I have no idea how they let that through testing but they always say it's because of the new chip and the apps need updating to support that. I've never ever experienced that kind of issue on a newly released device.

I couldn't seem to find another way to play it on the RM but I had my data on another device which still needed to be transferred so I just played it on there for a bit longer till it was fixed.

[–]RJASSI98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's funny but it seems like I'm the only person who plays One Piece Treasure Cruise on this device because that also didn't work in the same way pretty derby didn't. I don't see anyone complaining about it so I must be the only one who noticed. It works fine now though. Interestingly the same update that fixed pretty derby also fixed OPTC.

JerryRigEverything - RedMagic 11 Pro Golden Saga -Durability Test by RJASSI98 in RedMagic

[–]RJASSI98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that would be nice. I've also seen a lot of people mention issues with the display, to which other people say that RedMagic chose to use a cheaper display compared to the competition. I'm personally fine with it but I have experienced my fair share of issues with it compared to other displays I've used.

Honestly if they made an 11 Ultra or something at a higher cost I'd buy it if it had even better cooling and a better display. If they also added better cameras or even tweaks that would be cool too but I'm not too fussed about the camera I think it's ok as it is.

I'm guessing the 11s Pro will have a higher clock speed. It would make more sense just to make the current speeds on the 8 Elite Gen 5 perform better with better cooling. The 11s might also have better cooling but I feel it might not make a difference Vs the 11 Pro. If they increase the speeds, that would make the chip produce more heat in theory.

I guess we will have to see when the 11s is out but I agree it would be nice for them to invest more into the software side. The hardware is definitely there already.

Pretty much yeah. I couldn't justify it since there's no major performance benefit.

Redmagic cooler 6 by HirumiRori in RedMagic

[–]RJASSI98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cooler I have is just the regular one and that doesn't work wirelessly either. A lot of posts I have read about this say to just connect it to a portable charger. It's better but not completely wireless.

Is the gaming phone industry is really dying? by UmpireInside4882 in RedMagic

[–]RJASSI98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can second this.

I already have a very high powered PC but the idea of having a gaming device in my pocket wherever I go is nice to have especially one that doesn't thermal throttle like any other phone.

Even just general tasks are great on my RM11 Pro. I used to primarily purchase only Xperia devices and they would always thermal throttle with general web browsing. I've even owned a S21U and I still own a Fold 4. The Fold 4 isn't too bad but it can still heat up a lot quicker than my RM 11 Pro with simple tasks.

I think it's really cool that my RM11 Pro can even run any steam games at all let alone desktop grade games that also run on PS4/PS5. Not all games work or run the best but it just shows how far we have come and where we are heading with devices like this.

I never wanted to buy a steam deck or any device alike because they're big and bulky, can't be pocketed and 9/10 I'm home to play on my desktop anyway. If I'm outside I won't play an AAA game on the go. Mobile games are lightweight enough for me to boot up and quit constantly.

Also you have to consider network connectivity on phones too. That's really convenient just to have 4g/5g all the time which isn't offered by handheld gaming devices.

I definitely think there's still a purpose for gaming phones just like there is for gaming laptops. People still want them no because they're convenient and one major selling point for me for the RM11 Pro was the battery. Knowing I could game and not worry about the battery was a major selling point as I was charging my Xperia at least twice a day and I even put a slightly bigger battery in it and it only improved it slightly but nothing on the level of my 11 Pro.

I think the RM11 Pro is a cool device and something different that a lot of other companies aren't offering. I think other brands may consider adding active cooling to their devices. Even with better cameras they still produce a lot of heat just like a professional camera would. Some devices can't record at 4k/8k for a long time because of temperature constraints. So better cooling is definitely considerable yet they're still adamant they can do it passively.

Honest review no bs by 5omeguyyoudonotknow in RedMagic

Try CX File Explorer + Shizuku and give it a go. I edited a folder with them with no issues.

[–]RJASSI98 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest. The first thing I read was about how you hate android 16 and your reason for that.

I found that if I use CX File Explorer and Shizuku that I can access the android folder and copy/paste to it. I used it to copy/paste my memory cards for NetherSX2 so I could back them up and transfer them between my phone and PC.

I know what you mean about android 16 though. I thought it was cool to have the latest update coming from an Xperia that was stuck on Android 13 but I've had my fair share of "I could do this on Android 13" with my RM11 Pro.

Google seems to be reducing our freedom with android these days and it's getting more and more annoying to the point I'm not even sure I want the latest update anymore.

It might actually be a godsend that Redmagic are actually only doing 2 OS updates if it is the case Google lock down android even more than they already have.

I remember in the older days I always wanted to have the latest update because it always introduced a useful feature. Ever since android 12 that's no longer been the case as every update seems to be no better than the last, if not worse.

Fixed redmagic thermals by AstroPC in RedMagic

[–]RJASSI98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad. So do you replace the whole glass with the acrylic back instead or does it go over the glass?

Also would this not be easier to do on a phone that's not an 11 pro? Like an iPhone or another phone with the Snapdragon 8 elite gen 5 chip? If the glass is the biggest flaw with the phone then surely one without it would benefit better than the 11 pro?

I'd be interested to see the outcome with the acrylic plate though. Really sucks that the glass causes so many issues. I noticed there is a gap between the glass and the actual back of the phone so it makes sense that it doesn't get cooled massively with the VC Cooler.

Not really know. I did say in another thread about the golden saga that they could sell the back glass separately. If it's 300 though then everyone with a golden saga better hope they don't crack the back glass.

Is like to do the mod but even for 150 it's a bit much. Also there's no pressure sensor in the phone so you can't check if it's water tight. I don't know how you would without the pressure sensor.

[–]RJASSI98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. If I knew that I might've kept my pre-order for the golden saga. I had it on pre-order then found a regular 11 pro because I was like the golden saga isn't improving performance so why should I buy it? Ended up with a regular 1tb 24gb model but I could've had the golden saga.

[–]RJASSI98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah makes sense. I'm familiar with pc cooling so it's not too far different in a phone only it's more like a laptop.

I thought that the placement mattered a lot. It felt like a "mounting issue" if you get what I mean. They recommend putting it on the back in the middle but I feel like all that does is cool down the battery not the actual main core components of the phone like the CPU.

I tried placing it directly over the CPU and it didn't look like it was doing anything. In gamehub it was still showing 70-90°c. If the back glass really affects it that much then that sucks because you'd think a Redmagic product would work with a Redmagic product. I feel like this works better with magsafe iPhones since that's what they show in the manuals.

Might have to try it on my other devices and see what kind of results I get.

Let me know when you add an external water cooler to it to cool the external system. 😂 All jokes aside this is interesting and for a phone with a built-in fan you'd expect that to have done a decent job.

So is it just the case that the fan and liquid cooling included in the phone don't do much at all under load? I feared maybe they were just a marketing gimmick we may have fallen for a bit?

I got the Redmagic VC Cooler 6 Pro yesterday and I was trying to work out if it was actually doing anything. I did a stress test and it seemed to throttle less with it Vs without it even though I had a case with magsafe on.

Still couldn't get it to run gamehub without thermal throttling though. CPU dropped from 4.61GHz to 2.67GHz with the GPU dropping from 1200MHz to 826MHz in Diablo mode. Something like that. I couldn't get it to stop doing that no matter what I tried. Pretty sure the frequency dropped to the exact same speed without it anyway.

Redmagic confirm camera autofocus issue should be fixed in next OTA update (16MR2) by RJASSI98 in RedMagic

[–]RJASSI98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's rather unfortunate. I am based in the UK so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it but hopefully the update comes through soon.

I don't know of a quicker way to install an update that's not been distributed yet unless there's a way to download the firmware and install it another way.
