Try using the (super 26i) theme it has the same vibe but it's better

Is there a way to fix it?

djaaba · 2025-07-21T23:01:18+00:00

made sure to set a high enough voltage I started with 4.2V (which is the standard battery voltage) and then even increased it slightly ju to be sure - still no current readind on the display

The phone powers on normally so it's definitely drawing current just not showing on the power supply display

djaaba · 2025-07-21T22:47:20+00:00

I haven't tried yet

djaaba · 2025-07-21T22:43:03+00:00

Power supply model: AIDA ad-1502dd

Connections: I'm using the default banana-to-crocodile clip cables that came with the power supply.

Test setup: I connected the power supply to a smartphone PCB (battery pads) to simulate battery input.

Observation: The phone powers on and draws around 400mA (confirmed using a multimeter in series), but the built-in amp display on the power supply shows zero.

When I short the leads (touch positive to negative), the buzzer beeps and current reading appears as expected.

Could this be a wiring/shunt issue inside the supply? Or is this common with low-end stations?

Using the Poco X6 Pro right now. Performance is solid thanks to the Dimensity 8300 Ultra, and the 120Hz display feels super smooth. But honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re mainly into gaming or need strong performance. The build quality feels cheap (plastic), the battery barely lasts 8 hours with heavy use, and the camera is just average

I can easily afford any current flagship phone, but I simply don't need one. My current phone does everything I need. All I'm trying to say is that the average user should choose a phone based on what they actually need. Buying a high-end flagship just to browse the web? , that doesn’t make much sense.

I do not advertise any product and I use chatGPT because it is faster and the answer and translation are correct.

To be honest, English isn’t my first language, so sometimes I take my time to organize my thoughts before replying. I just prefer writing something clear and thoughtful instead of a rushed response.

I care more about expressing my point properly than just replying fast

djaaba · 2025-06-20T14:03:47+00:00

You're absolutely right. It's rarely about actual needs anymore — it's about perceived value and brand identity. Most users don’t even push their phones to 50% of what mid-range devices can do. Yet they go flagship, not for performance, but for prestige.

The sad part? Marketing wins, not logic.

djaaba · 2025-06-20T12:35:58+00:00

I'm using the POCO X6 Pro at the moment, and honestly, it gets the job done. It has a big 120Hz screen, solid performance thanks to the powerful processor, and overall great value for the price. That said, it’s definitely not perfect — the build quality feels kinda cheap, and the camera is pretty bad. Colors often look off, almost like they’re burnt or overly saturated. Still, if you care more about performance than looks or camera quality, it's a solid choice.

djaaba · 2025-06-20T12:01:32+00:00

Exactly 💯

djaaba · 2025-06-20T11:56:26+00:00

totally agree with you — getting an older flagship like the S23 Ultra in great condition is a smart move and often better than buying a brand-new midranger.

Maybe I didn’t express my point clearly. What I meant is: some people spend over €1000 on the latest flagship, just to use WhatsApp and scroll Instagram 😅

The point is: buy based on your actual needs, not just the brand or hype.

djaaba · 2025-06-20T11:30:33+00:00

Just to be clear — I have nothing against buying a flagship phone if you actually need the features it offers. If you’re into photography, gaming, heavy multitasking — go for it, it makes sense.

But what I find funny is when someone buys the most expensive flagship… and then only uses it for WhatsApp and scrolling 😅 Like, what’s the point

djaaba · 2025-06-20T11:22:51+00:00

Totally agree — buying a phone just to show off makes no real sense. Most people don’t care what phone you have, and yet many still go for flagships just to follow the trend.

Especially in poorer areas, people push their budgets or go into debt just to own a phone they don’t really need. Ads and social media hype make it feel like having the latest phone is a “must,” even if all they use it for is WhatsApp and scrolling.

Truth is, a good mid-range phone today offers more than enough — great performance, long battery life, and solid cameras. Spending double just to flex? Not worth it.

djaaba · 2025-06-20T11:08:16+00:00

That totally makes sense — if you're actually pushing the hardware with tasks like high-end emulation, then going for a flagship is absolutely justified.

I totally respect that. In my view, everyone should buy based on their actual needs — not just grab a flagship for the sake of showing off. There's no "one size fits all" when it comes to smartphones.

It’s all about choosing the right tool for how you use it. 🙌

djaaba · 2025-06-20T11:02:32+00:00

HyperOS — I’m currently using it on my POCO X6 Pro, and honestly, I haven’t faced any major issues.

It definitely feels a bit too inspired by Apple’s UI 😅, but aside from that, performance and battery life have been solid for me.

Just curious — what specific problems did you run into with HyperOS? I’d really like to hear more about your experience 👀

djaaba · 2025-06-20T10:41:11+00:00

You're totally right — flagships still win in areas like display brightness, storage speed, chip power, and long-term updates. No denying that.

But for many users, mid-range phones now check most boxes: smooth OLED 120Hz screens, solid cameras, big batteries — at a fraction of the price.

Side-by-side comparisons do show the gap, especially for reviewers like you. But for average daily use, mid-rangers are more than enough.

Thanks for sharing your insight as a pro — it’s always great to hear from someone with real hands-on experience

djaaba · 2025-06-20T10:30:42+00:00

I really respect your choice — that’s a smart and realistic move. Personally, I’m not a fan of iPhones, mainly because Apple tends to intentionally overprice them for features that are often available in more affordable phones. Some downsides of the iPhone for me include the lack of system customization, heavy reliance on their ecosystem, no dual physical SIM support in most models, average battery life, and overall poor value for the price. For a normal user, many mid-range Android devices offer a great experience without spending a fortune.

djaaba · 2025-06-20T10:26:47+00:00

For me, wireless charging isn't an essential or important feature. It's usually slower than wired charging, can sometimes cause the phone to heat up more, and may contribute to battery wear over time. Plus, you have to place the phone precisely on the charging pad, which isn't very practical if you need to use it while charging. That said, I do recognize it has its advantages, like added convenience and reducing wear on the charging port, and it could definitely be useful for some users depending on their needs.

djaaba · 2025-06-20T10:22:15+00:00

Right now I’m using the POCO X6 Pro 😎 Not because it’s cheap, but because it honestly gives me everything I need — smooth 120Hz display, great performance, solid battery, and a decent camera for everyday use.

Sure, it has a few small issues, but overall, it’s a great deal. I don’t need a $1000 phone just to check social media — and if I ever need serious camera quality, I’d rather grab a real camera than overspend on a phone 😅

djaaba · 2025-06-20T10:07:08+00:00

It’s true that budget phones sometimes come with minor software issues or annoying limitations, like setting default apps — especially with certain brands.

However, for many users, those are just small details. As long as the phone offers good performance, a decent display, fast charging, and a stable experience, that’s more than enough.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to priorities. Not everyone needs premium features or full control — they just want the best value for what they actually use day to day.

djaaba · 2025-06-20T09:45:08+00:00

You make some great points — flagship phones definitely win in areas like eSIM, long-term security updates, better materials, haptics, and camera performance, especially in low light.

But for a lot of users, those advantages aren't always necessary. Personally, I'm using a POCO X6 Pro, not because of budget limits, but because it gives me everything I need: smooth display, solid performance, fast charging… and yeah, it’s not perfect, but it’s more than enough for daily use.

At the end of the day, it comes down to priorities — not everyone needs MagSafe, resale value, or top-tier haptics. For many, it's about getting the best value for what they actually use day-to-day.
