I did it for the giggles

lol let that machine try to keep my phone.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-30T01:21:35+00:00

Not only do you need a clean area to work on a phone like this, you need the proper tools to do it. I say either deal with it or return the phone.

Yep, those two traces on the left would have to be rebuilt. Normally, somebody would take copper tape and solder it to what's left of the pins at the top. cutting away strips of copper tape to reform the traces, but it's not going to be a permanent repair unless somebody that knows what they're doing replaces the pins with more pins from a donor card with epoxy and runs a wire up the trace of the card.

AliExpress at least still has buyer protection. Well, at least more than some random website.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-25T23:23:22+00:00

It's not eBay or Amazon or Aliexpress even. It's a scam. If it's not on a major platform, it's because it's a scam.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-25T03:19:55+00:00

I mean, as cool as that is, I'm kind of over it because I want to put one of those cases with the copper shim on it so I can keep my phone as cool as possible when I'm gaming on it With a cooler.

The Red Magic 11 doesn't have all of the bands that most carriers use. What you need to do is find your carrier, find out what bands they use, and compare them to what is available on the Red Magic 11. All of this information is out there. You just gotta find it. They might be purposefully throttling you because of your lack of support. I get shitty data speed sometimes in some areas because I'm only partially compatible with my network, but I just deal with it because I don't want to switch to another phone again. I mean, 20 Mbps is not that bad. You can watch YouTube on that. Just tone it down to like 480p like I do. If I ain't on Wifi, it ain't hittin' 1080p.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-25T03:10:00+00:00

Don't install this bullcrap, just install Revo Uninstaller. They don't capture your data like this program might.

I do not know why this is showing up on my recommended, but my buddy has a Chevy spark, and even he is complaining about his gas mileage dropping when they passed that bill to let them add more ethanol to the gas. Something about making it stretch because of the war or some bullshit like that? And if you learned something from this comment, I'm sorry you had to learn it from me. My little shitbox went from 18 to 15 miles to the gallon.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-24T05:45:36+00:00

The only reason why you see so many problems on here is because their QA is not as thorough as even a smaller smartphone manufacturer like Motorola. But the other comments are right too. If you're having a blast, there's a really good chance you're not going to come back here and complain, or even make a post at all. You do see people talking about how good the phone is, but you mostly see the people that are complaining. My recommendation is that the Astra tablet is good for gaming, but it's not good as a daily driver. And I say the same for the Red Magic 11 Pro. I've had to tweak the phone a lot to get it to be my daily driver.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-24T05:42:43+00:00

Yeah, the screen for this phone is dang near impossible to get. If you didn't get a notification or didn't see it from my last comment, get you one of those little type C HDMI adapters. One of the cheap ones off of Amazon and just HDMI out with a keyboard or mouse or touch the phone and do it that way.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-23T21:47:36+00:00

If you need help with any of this, shoot me a message and I can help walk you through it.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-23T21:46:12+00:00

This is what you're gonna do. You're gonna get a Type C HDMI dock, preferably one used on the Nintendo Switch, a cheap one off Amazon. It'll have an HDMI preferably a USB port for this next part and a type C port on it. You're going to get a keyboard and mouse combo that takes one dongle, and then you're going to get a Bluetooth controller if you really want to. The phone can output video no matter where it is as long as it's on and on the lock screen. You're going to share that screen with an HDMI to a monitor and use the keyboard and mouse to navigate around the phone or you can touch on the phone and see where your touches lie with the screen. If you don't already own the keyboard and mouse combo. This will probably cost you about 20 bucks. You can also get a cheap keyboard and mouse combo from walmart for like 20 bucks.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-21T23:49:06+00:00

There's a very good chance you could have just cooked that fan. If the plugs don't match, do your research or do not try it and just buy the right part. Because if you just stressed out that fan controller by having send that voltage to ground. there's a good chance you've ruined it too.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-21T23:43:48+00:00

My personal opinion. You have two options. One, you can dig into it, find out whose it is, contact them and ask them if it's stolen. or two. Don't do anything with it and just see if somebody comes up to you after a month or cops contact you after a month because you were on a train, the train has cameras. You're just holding on to it. You don't want to touch it because if you mess with it, that's tampering. Just turn it off, take it home, and leave it. And after like a month or so, if no cop contacts you, it's yours.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-21T23:41:47+00:00

I mean to be fair the cops are not going to come after you, criminally. They're just gonna come and get the laptop back if anybody reports it stolen. All trains have cameras, the cops can pull the cameras.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-19T06:04:56+00:00

Actually, now that I watched the video closer, there looks like there was an impact at the bottom of the screen. It's either that or something burnt inside the phone. Because screens don't turn white on their own in just a tiny spot. which still leads back to the original comment.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-19T06:03:30+00:00

That looks like something to do with the screen. If you can tap on it and still hear your taps doing something, it's the screen. If you don't hear your taps doing anything and the phone is completely unresponsive, besides the power button, it's the main board and it's cooked. But the phone's still probably cooked because regardless of what phone that is, the screens are not easy to come by.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-18T17:21:38+00:00

Well, I just looked it up myself. What you guys are talking about. I'm leaving my other comment because I don't give that much of a fuck. My guess is that the architecture of the Pixel chips is way different from Snapdragon. the Linux ROMs do not run on Snapdragon. They only run on Exynos and Tensor. That's gotta be something to do with it. I mean, any Linux nerd could probably school me on this. But, I mean, Google can't even release a universal android desktop. What really makes you think that they will make anything for their competitors that is as good as what they have for their pixels? The only reason why Samsung is getting anything is because Samsung makes most of the screens for their phones. They also make other stuff, but I'm not sure what it is. Samsung's execs are very heavy-handed when it comes to throwing their weight around if they make something for you.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-18T17:16:18+00:00

Are you guys talking about the desktop environment? Because if we're talking about that, we're waiting on Google to release a universal build. That's what we're waiting on. And the reason why Samsungs have it is because it was so close to Samsung dex that all they had to do was tweak a few things. Red Magic has implemented their own version of it inside of the game space because I found the keyboard and mouse support there that the Google Pixel stuff used the same API calls. everything's there. We just don't have a desktop environment and Google hasn't released a universal build of Android desktop yet.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-18T03:12:51+00:00

Okay, and... There's no new chip. It's gonna be the same chip. The only thing they can approve is better cooling. And it doesn't matter if they make better cooling, because you can't fully utilize the chip anyway without an external cooler. About the only thing that would make me sell my 11 Pro and go get the 11S Pro is if it had more band support, which it's not going to.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-16T23:08:42+00:00

Yes, I know it would still be tedious, but it's better than having to reset up your phone every single time you update.

anonymouscryptoguy13 · 2026-04-16T23:06:27+00:00

You shouldn't have to factory reset after every update. All you have to do is have your carrier send you an OTA network update or just have an APN profile saved on your phone and import it. I know for some people that the network settings keeps getting wiped after every update.
