fingerprint - LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers

I was planning on buying le max 2 but i saw a lot of post saying that fingerprint sensor dies fast. Now is this true?

I can't say for sure since mine is still in the mail, but it's important to note that complaints are always more prevalent on the web (because most people who are happy with their products don't go out of their way to say so).

The only way to avoid fingerprint sensor to fail (and it's not 100% sure) it's updating phone firmware to the latest (19s India or 23s China) before adding a new fingerprint

I had the stock X829 and it was a bit slow on the fingerprint recognition, but nothing wrong with that. Now I'm using the x821 5.8.019S (Stable) and now it's working fast and accurate. No problems here for a month now.

i got:
3 x820 6/64 with working fingerprint, 4-6 month old
1 x829 6/128 with working fingerprint, 3 month old
1 x829 4/64 1 week old, fp working for several hour then dead till now. Still searching how to fix this. FLashing lots of rom and modem firmware, no improvement. I think im kinda give up, ill just use it without fp. SOme one tell me to change fp module, its cheap only 8 usd free shipping. kinda risky because this phone is unibodi, to open it the lcd must be removed first..
1 x829 6/128 just arrived, 2 days the FP still working on 16s. now im too scared to flash other rom.

No problems with mine . Using X829 with RR ROM. I must say the fingerprint is slow. But to me it works 8/10 times.

I don't know if mine just died. Mine arrived yesterday and it worked for a total of 4/5 hours of usage before it "died". Still looking for a solution. (Leeco Le Max 2 x829 4gb 64gb)

I would get the 829 unless you can find an 820 with more than 32gb of storage.
This place has really good prices
https://www.coolicool.com/cell-phones-t-289?filter_attr=0.0.0.0.0.12098.0.0.0.0
Depends where you live. If USA, get X829, if Europe or somewhere else, it's better to get the X820. The B20 is not working on X829 and until now nobody managed to make it work.
Also as I've noticed on the forum is that more users with X829 have issues with fingerprint sensor than users with X820.
The perfect buy would be X820 4/64 Grey IMHO.
Finally you should decide.
PS: Why not X720 Le Pro3?
dont buy it ..
go to Le pro 3 or leeco cool s1

It depends, the Le max 2 has a much better camera, display, gives more RAM and ROM for the price and the performance is literally 10% slower than the le pro 3 (so you would not see a massive performance lag between the devices, only if you look in the milliseconds which is not very noticeable to the human eye), also the le pro 3 does not have qfiles so if you hard brick it you can NOT revive the mobile and would have to send it for repair, which would take alot of time, this may be why the le max 2 is a much better option.
I have X829, got it last week , with 16s vendor rom, then I flash 19S Indian rom.
there is no issue in the phone, it is amazing and only 170 euro by banggood
also fingerprint sensor work fine.

The same was LeMax2 regarding QFIL files. When the phone was released, there were no files available, they surfaced later after few months (I've done the tutorial in November and the phone was released in May).
Pro3 has some advantages that you haven't mentioned: smaller screen (more pocketable), FHD (it's enough IMHO, and better for the battery and GPU), bigger battery, same RAM, slightly better processor, newer (let's assume that support will be better than LeMax2's as it has a US release). If I wouldn't care about the price, Pro3 would be my choice.

Yeah, I see where you are coming from , it just depends on the user. Also I think at this price point a lot of users would have price as one of their main factors of buying a mobile. My preference would have a larger crisper 2K screen (much better than FHD in VR and because you have no risk with bricking the mobile with no support currently you can easly root the mobile and change the resolution to 1080p to put less strain on the CPU and GPU, I think this is much better than FHD has you get the best of both worlds, VR and typical mobile gaming) , better camera and a lot more RAM and ROM for the price (6GB 128GB variant costed me $250 while the cheapest le pro 3 4GB 32GB variant is $260) and I wouldn't want to be waiting another 3+ months with a hard bricked mobile. And yes the battery on the le pro 3 is much better but for most users the battery time on the Le max 2 is sufficient enough and for still paying less you could buy a power bank. So right now I would still buy the le max 2, but definitely when those QFIL files come for the le pro 3 it would be very difficult to choose from.:good:

For X820 or X829 there are the same amount of ROMs, there is no difference between them. Gapps can be easily flashed on either, go for X820 if it's the same price.

LeEco Pro 3 Elite X722 vs. LeEco Le Max 2

Has anyone had both of these phones in hand? Both can be purchased for the same price.
I have a rough idea of the positives and negatives of each model in my head. Does anyone else here have an opinion on which is the better phone overall?
I have also posted this to the LeEco Pro 3 community to try to get a better idea from owners of both phones.
Why not X720? The X722 does not share the same hardware as X720 and there is less development/support. Keep in mind that LeEco might never update any device in the future, so all lies with the good hearted developers.
If you live in Europe and you'll choose LeMax2, make sure it's the X820 and not the cheaper X829 due to Band20.
For me, the choice would be between X720 and X820.

Hey, thanks for you reply. I can get the X722 and X820 for the same price.
The X720 will be 45%-50% more for me.
Would you say that the X820 is the clear winner over the X722? I have to agree with you with regards to ROM development. There only seem to be ~3 active ROMs for the X722. The Le Max 2 seems to have a lot more active community.
The X722 is a niche device, so I would say it's not worth it.
I would go for the X820 in this case. It already has android 8.1. All credit goes to the excellent devs.
The only thing that might bother you is the fingerprint lottery. Many users claim it fails after a while. Mine is working for more than 1.5 years, but some report total breakdown of the fp even after few days of usage. If you can live without it, then just get it. I'd say a 50-50 chance.
I have both., X820 and X722.
1. Display - Le Max wins - super colors and ultrasharp, Le Pro looks much worse side to side.
2. Battery - Le Pro wins, lasts longer.
3. Custom ROMS - no winner. Indeed, there are not too many roms for LePro but in the end you need only one. I use AEX 7.1.2, stable, full features, no bugs noticed.
4. Sound - Le Pro wins - stereo speakers.
But my final suggestion is: if you don't care too much about battery life, buy Le Max 2. The display makes the real difference.
Heyyo, I would NOT RECOMMEND the Le Pro 3 Elite! It is NOT COMPATIBLE with Le Pro 3 custom ROMs as it uses the SD 821 and Le Pro 3 Elite uses the SD820!
There have been some community members messing about trying to get it working properly on LineageOS but it won't have as good of support as an actual Le Pro 3...
Same goes for that Le Pro 3 AI Edition which uses a MediaTek Helio X23. No kernel sources for that means no custom ROMs.
Isn't the x722 the pro elite. To be honest I just want a phone with the Google camera. So considering the Max 2 has better ROMs, would that be a better option to buy?
x722 is slowly getting ROMs, so it's an option I think. Le Max 2 has a good chance to have a dead FP out of the box, or the FP to die suddenly (like mine) and recover God knows when if it recovers (yes, by itself) at all. x722 is good if more developers start doing stuff for it, I see a good start.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...rom-lineage-os-14-1-x722-elite-based-t3705186
In my opinion, the Le Max 2 X820 is a better choice. Hardwear is the same in both Snapdragon 820, Adreno 530, RAM LPDDR4 and UFS 2.0, but the Le Max 2 has a much better display, the battery is smaller, but it loads very fast thanks to Quick Charge 3.0. The loudspeaker sounds very loud and good. There are plenty of ROMs to choose from. Thanks to the fact that the screen is flat, there is no problem with matching the tempered glass.
I recently bought the X820 6/64 version with the B20 band for 200 USD and I recommend it, I'm satisfied.

Excatly. For example I use X722 (Elite) with AICP and this is stable and no buggy ROM. There is a nice feature to use on - one can change saturation of colors under Live Display options - and X722 display does need it

Mate 10 Pro vs Oneplus 6

Which one should i get? They're roughly the same price in my country. I need a phone for at least 2-3years.
Well depends what you want from your phone.
I see a lot of advantages on the OP6.
The SD845 overall performance seems to be better than the Kirin 970, you have the option of 255GB for internal storage, besides the software is less intrusive style wise but also functionality wise.
But, the Mate has better cameras, it's a Android Enterprise Recommended phone, that means that you will get at least one security patch every 90 days for 2 years at least and at least 1 major OS update.
Other hardware features are better water protection and USB 3.0.
That said OnePlus track record of updating isn't that bad, but there's no promises from their side.
And last but not least, if you have any desire to do stuff with custom roms, rooting, etc... You'll wanna go OnePlus.
oneplus updating is spectacular.
I have the 3T and The 5T and both are still updated at least twice a month.
If battery life is the main concern, then the Mate 10 Pro may well be the better bet. I can get consistent 6+ hours of Screen on Time and mostly a full day of hard usage. It's about the only thing keeping me from staying with my M10P though. I got a deal that means I will pay significantly less for it than an upfront OP6 too. It may well be that the Mate 10 Pro will drop further as we get towards the Mate 20 launch in October.
The camera is good, but tends to over do the processing when in auto mode. It does have one of the best Pro modes though if you like to fiddle.
If you do get a Mate 10 Pro, make sure its a C432 model or one of the ones that are regularly updated - my C782 model is still on March 1st security update and I have no confidence that will improve once the Mate 20 is out.
If you have any interest in custom ROMS after that 2 years when you still have perfectly functioning hardware, then OnePlus is almost certainly the way to go - it seems to be one of the few flagships left that has a very active ROM development and Huawei have now shot down any claim to interest in that by withdrawing bootloader unlock.
I 'upgraded' from a OnePlus One running an 8.1 custom ROM that had worked perfectly except for the poor battery life - until it fell in the toilet! (Actually a replacement speaker later and it's still working fine and on a later version of Android that my M10P). There will certainly be options to run the latest software on a OnePlus 6 in 3 years, whereas you will likely be out of luck with the Mate 10 Pro. The camera sucked on the OPO, but I gather it is at least acceptable on the OP6
Software may not be a key concern - actually I can live with EMUI and it has some nice extra 'assistance' touches, but it also has flaky bluetooth in my experience and the over eager power management drives me crazy trying to use things like Tasker.
tl;dr - If you need the battery, go with Mate 10 Pro - if you don't care about the best camera possible, or ever want to go the custom rom route, go with OP6.

For a price difference like that Mate 10 pro
didnt use OPO but did use xiaomi mi note 2 phone and now bought mate 10 pro, I also didnt know and have second thoughts about buying OPO 6 or M10pro. so at the end bought M10pro and so far can say the phone is ok but considering rooting installing TWRP and custom roms seems to be little complicated because, after reading xda, bunch of people have bricked they device. now I like to have rooted phone and installed custom rom, lineage os or Aosp extended, but that is not gona happen on this phone so if you like to have rooted phone and have custom roms buy OPO6 definitely, its not everyting in camera. PS emui is quite lagy some times and still needs improvement.
if it matters... the op5t has bluetooth issues with fitbit, not sure if op6 changed but likely issues remain
not sure if fitbit would make a difference, but who knows what other devices may or may not work well. op5t also has issues with car bluetooth, mate10 has none of the issues with the two devices.

usb3.1 iirc
I also bought the mate10pro, big mistake! It was on a pre 8.0.0.146 version with magisk and twrp running fine. Installed xposed, got a bootloop, did a erecovery rescue to factory emui 8, after that applied the latest ota to emui 9 which was the worst thing to do. Got the new bootloader and because the original was unlocked the phone bricked. Back to erecovery and no rescue... tried everything but no luck, so now it's worthless. It may have a very niche leica camera but that won't do any good if you can't recovery the phone. Huawei sucks in every way, just look at how they killed any development other than their own.
So now I ordered the OP 6 which has a very shiny development community, I won't have any worries about being stuck with another paperweight, and if I want a good camera I'll pickup my nikon fullframe dslr, no phone beats that.
I wouldnt go with Huawei if you rely on mods. No real custom rom beside openkirin. No real custom kernel. V4A not working, Dolby Atmos works only on oreo based custom roms. You dont get unlock code from Huawei anymore. You can grab your unlock code via paid services. Alone, when the partition oeminfo gets damaged and your bootloader is locked, your unlock code will not work, erecovery will not work etc DC could fix such bricks but now after the .b145 c432 firmware, they patched it. After B146 you cant downgrade. No real/outdated kernel sources. I recommend this device only for normal conusmers, who dont intend to root this phone. I left Samsung because of adding the knox warranty void string, now leaving Huawei because of the reason I told above.
Oneplus phones have very high SAR values... Be careful
Mate 10 (non-pro) would really last you 2-3yrs because amoled burn (it really is an issue) wouldn't affect you.
I have a mate 10 (non pro) I am trying to sell. Mint condition with the fancy smart flip case. I have a note 9 now so don't need it. Currently has an armorsuit clear skin on it.

Some years later, a reply. YES, I went to OP6 (I still have it working) and later to OP7pro (also still working) and now I'm on OP8 with AICP17.1 (android 12) fully loaded, rooted all working perfectly. Never regretted the change to OnePlus, excellent value for money and excellent support community, very recommendable for custom roms etc. If ever you brick it (happend a few times to me) you get your MSMtool out and bring it back to life in no time.
btw, my mate10pro was still within guarantee, so I sent it back to the seller, took a few months because they tried to recover it, didn't work and I got a full refund.

Should I get the Redmi Note 9s if i want to unlock/root/flash ROMs onto it? 4 or 6GB?

Hello!
I'm need a new phone ASAP since my last one died a few days back, my intention is to use it for a few years and eventually once the updates sto and the phone starts slowing down, unlock the bootloader, root the device, flash TWRP and get strated with some ROMs.
Is Redmi Note 9s a good choice considering this?
Is the 4GB version good enough or would the upgrade to 6gb be substantialy noticable and worth it? (I initially wanted to get the 8T but it's only ~$25 upgrade to go with the 4gb 9s instead and over $75 for the 9s in the 6gb version.)
I also considered the Note 8T and 8 Pro.
From what I've read it seems that the 8 Pro is the best of the budget Xiaomi phones but it's the most problematic one with a big potential to get bricked.
The 8T would also probably be fine, but it's a very small difference in price between it and the 4gb version of the 9S which seems to be better in every way.
The 9S seems to have great potential for modding, with easily unlockable bootloader and a Snapdragon that afaik doesn't like to brick itself like the mediatek in the 8 Pro does.
9 Pro is a bit pricy for me, and it seems like tehe only difference is the NFC that i don't need.
What do you guys think i should get?
I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask but since it's a forum dedicated to the development for a phone i consider buying with modding in mind i think it fits here nicely.
I think your best choice right now is the Note 8/8T. It have time on the market, so it have a mature scene of development. The Note 9S is new on the market, and also comes with Android 10 preinstalled, that means there is no official TWRP available and so means less development. Also the Note 8/8T have a Snapdragon SoC, best choice for modding compared to MediaTek on the RN8 Pro. Finally, the RN9S have some bugs that isn't resolved, and we don't know if they are hardware or software bugs, because Xiaomi isn't capable of fixing it, even with a couple of software updates. (wifi on sleep bug, pocket mode bug, bluetooth volume bug)

Was in OP's situation with my LG G5, went for the 9S Global. Has all the bugs you listed and MIUI is aggravating as all heck. I came from LOS 17 and I appreciate the hardware. I think it'll sell a lot and those bugs will be fixed, but I don't think I will wait much before moving to a GSI - Project Treble, man!

Yeah, I'm also thinking of install GSI ROM by Sooti, but it very annoys me, because isn't right to unlock and mod a month-old device. That really speaks bad about Xiaomi, I think the aggresive phone launching cycle (10 or 20 only the first half of this year!) is affecting the quality control.

You are in the same situation I was in, I finally decided on the 9s for precisely the same reasons that you say. Good choice (I bought 4gb versión, I think 6Gb will do lightly better, but unless its price is similar, I don't think it's worth it

Hi All
Hope everyone is well, just sold my oneplus 10T 5G 16GB ram - 256Gb storage after 3 months and lost almost £300 in value as it sold for roughly half its new value what with ebay fees etc
Happy to take the loss to see the back of it quite honestly going back to my old oneplus 7T which still works perfectly and i can EDL reflash to my hearts content with no issues.
Regret buying the 10T in the first place but i had no idea oneplus / oppo merged and EDL msmtool would be with held from us all
Will never buy another oneplus device ever again so when my 7T dies thats it for me will go to a different phone maker.
I got same feelings. When my 6t battery and USB port started to get a lot worse I wanted to buy new 10T, but after doing a lot of research I realised that it's a bad idea because the first thing I do with the phone is getting custom rom and getting rid of Google malware. Which looks like to be impossible with 10T. So instead I fixed my 6T for like 40 pounds and it works like new. When it eventually dies I don't think I will go for oneplus again unless something change by the time.
Which phone today is best and easiest for rooting?
anything up to oneplus 9 i think !! can be EDL unbricked / rooted etc so i would go for one of those as a safety measure.
I went back to my trusty oneplus 7T which i can EDL unbrick, root, custom roms with no worries at all
I'm thinking of doing the exact same thing. My 10T 5G can't be loaded with LineageOS, like I run on my trusty 7T now. I've never put the new 10T on a network. Never put a sim card in it,
but it updated to a newer Oxygen or Android version or both. Probably via wi-fi with my home network. It really looks like a nice phone and I'm super disappointed Oppo decided to 'break' the access to EDL tools, etc. It's a shame. Now I feel just like leezaal, my 7T looks like my last OP. Every couple of weeks I charge it and it's always dead when I start. Maybe I should go to weekly. It just sits and while 'on' it's not active doing anything afaik. My 7T runs great. I'm very happy with LineageOS .
