[Ascend Mate 7 General] vimto25:
I have just gone from mate 7 to p8, and the p8 is better but does have cons, better screen,faster,better design very premuim,much better camera, better loud speaker (louder), earphones volume also louder ( mate 7 for me wasn't loud enough),

There's more but there big changes for me,

It's hard going to a smaller screen from mate 7 but still 5.2 is my minimum size I'd have,

The only thing I miss is the 32gb internal I had in mate 7 as I only have 16gb on p8.

Overall its a lovely device extremely premium build, if you've had a iPhone 6 or felt 1 its similar to that quality at at low price.

For me I'll see how I get on with it as the p8 Max with have 32gb and 64gb so I maybe hungry for storage and have to upgrade to it.

Yes no fingerprint scanner on the p8 which is a shame as I used the scanner since the day I unwrapped the mate 7 it works so well doesn't it.

Be aware tho the p8 is wafer thin lol its amazing how they made it so premuim and slim.

I didn't exactly plan on getting a p8 it was only because my mate 7 screen had bleeding so I sold and thought I'd try the p8 as the mate 7 was my first huawei device so trying the p8 kinda put my mind at rest that huawei are brilliant and the likes of Samsung,apple,lg,HTC can do 1 :D

[Ascend Mate 7 General] sony83:
How much better is the camera on the p8? What about battery life?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vimto25:
Battery is a con I'm afraid , its not that big and doesn't last as long as the mate 7 , its early days yet for me as I've had my device for 2 days but I'm realising its not lasting very long proberly on par with other flagships of the similar size battery. Ovsly it charges up faster which is prob due to the smaller battery, what i did realise the charger is a 1a where the mate 7 is a 2a

Prepare to sell you P8 when Mate 8 will hit the market. It will be the best device EVER :D ...well, for one year at least :))
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vimto25:
Yep I will end up buying a mate 8 unless I get the p8 Max but even then the mate 8 should be better
[Ascend Mate 7 General] rowihel2012:
no info about p8max when it will be released??
[Ascend Mate 7 General] janrck:
Yes, i was talking about p8max, p8 is too small for me...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vimto25:
I thought the p8 would be too small coming from mate 7 but I've got used to it.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
Also One should consider if you want a smaller device to wait for the Huawei D8 device, 5.5 inches but it will have good specs. Rumours

say it will have the "invisible" finger print scanner on the back. it should be released within a few months. Probably in the same time as M8.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vimto25:
Ooo nice didn't no that, I love the mate 7 and p8 and I miss the finger print scanner so I'll look forward to that, hopefully it has a bigger battery than the p8
[Ascend Mate 7 General] sony83:
Well I shifted to the p8..good device. The only thing missing is the double tap to wake screen functionality same as in huawei g7. I fear the single power button would wear out soon
[Ascend Mate 7 General] nihal1983:
its in stock at honormi.com now, just ordered
[Ascend Mate 7 General] XDADEVX:
I wanted but I changed my mind.. I had look at the P8 and screen is too dark , battery stay last less, thick black borders around the display,very bad video recording

And performance is almost same little bit higher on P8 but you will never notice it..

I am more interested in Mate8 :)

Well I have updated my M7-09 to 5.1 just to try it and it is so far so good and I went through settings and I found couple new things..

And I have plenty options regarding double tap to wake screen but it kind of not working.. probably I need to erase and restore the whole phone..
[Ascend Mate 7 General] sony83:
Glad to hear 5.1 brings double tap to wake [emoji4] did you receive ota for 5.1?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] XDADEVX:
No manually installed ..

EDIT: Guys I just did restore but those settings are still there.. I wanted do 3 button restore but not working..

but there is one section appeared ,(gosh this is so stange. )

There is now one more function added and it's called Tap and Pay that is awesome .. ! Always wanted pay with phone instead of card ..!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav_sap:
i flashed new firmware to my htc one m8

I got into recovery and changed the name firmware file.

but now in the recovery it doesn't recognize my internal storage, kind of. it says 0 mb.

And when I try via adb to push a file to it it fails. (adb push filename.zip /sdcard/)

so it seems like i only have the external card now working.

what can I do?

I'm currently in the stage where i have the firmware file in the right name and it keeps asking me to update, if i remove the external card, i can get into recovery change the name, and then i see it won't read the internal storage like i wrote up here.

but after I change the name i can get into fastboot mode.

I currently have recovery mode - twrp 2.8.0.3

p.s I think my internal storage does work, cause i can go into recovery mode(twrp), my external_sd was formmated

before i used to update the firmware, so it has nothing except for that file
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh.walker.9242:
You're not flashing the firmware through recovery, are you?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav_sap:
No, i flashed, with the guide here, via an external card, changing the name of the firnware so the hboot would recognize it.. and update it
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav_sap:
I was thinking that maybe my twrp version 2.8.0.3 is too old for this bootloader veraion maybe, and i need to update to twrp to 2.8.6 and then try to transfer the rom file and install it.

What do u think?

Do u have any suggestions?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh.walker.9242:
I have TWRP 2.8.0.6. You can download TWRP manager from Play Store, it has a list of TWRP versions you can install. The app installs them too. Everytime I used the app to install it, it says it failed but it actually works, just install, then say ok to the failed install pop up and reboot into recovery and it'll be there.

Edit: As soon as the firmware has flashed successfully, boot up and delete the firmware file off of your external SD card so it doesn't keep asking you to update.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav_sap:
I have no OS now.

I need to download it, and flash it via fastboot. I'm wondering if that's the problem that the internal storage is giving me these problems or it has nothing to do with it.

Does a different firmware require different twrp versions?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh.walker.9242:
Not as far as I know. Your best bet man is probably to download an RUU and just flash that through fastboot or the external sd card method. Then after that, flash the TWRP then put a ROM zip on your phone and flash that way.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav_sap:
What RUU should i use? Isn't that just firmware like the one i flashed now?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh.walker.9242:
No, an RUU is a complete system install. Completely stock with the exception of some RUUs contain root. But it will wipe everything on your phone, all your personal data and what not.

Hi Guys,

I have been using the Galaxy S6 for a while now and have been flashing many different custom ROMs.

I have neber manually flashed an updated bootloader/modem and everything seems to be working fine. I was wondering if anyone could explain to me what these 2 things actually do, what the advantages are of updating them, and any dangers of not doing it as I have been so far?

Any help is appreciated.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoffxx:
I moved an apk to the system folder but forgot to reset permissions now I have a bootloop, is there a way to access the system folder and remove this file with PC using adb or flashtool, LP 5.1 270 installed and rooted

is it possible to only flash the part of the ftf that overwrites the system folder using flash tool, I am downloading the FTF right now - would system.sin be the correct file to flash therefore keeping everything else as is

any help please

ok so I sorted this out myself and anyone in the same situation this may help

first as described above I moved an app to the system folder thinking it might fix something but it didn't and as it turns out the app developer has a bug they need to address, it was my favourite file manager that needs attention, I moved it to the system folder thinking it would solve all the issues I was facing with permissions etc but I conclude it is the app itself is buggy under LP, and as usual they are slow to sort this out and I paid for it......never mind

so the steps

updated to LP

rooted using kingroot (those that follow this path need to go to apps "kinguser" and force stop before running the script to swap out for supersu) then it works

so back to my problem (self inflicted)

because of my attempts to try and sort the app that wasn't working properly I thought if I made it a system app it would fix it, it didn't and not only that I forgot to change the permissions when I moved it to the system folder, when I rebooted the phone it went into a bootloop

so I wanted to avoid doing a complete factory reset or repair as I'm sure you all understand, lots of stuff gets lost

so I used xperifirm and downloaded the software that was updated LP 270

compiled an ftf using flashtool

ran flashtool and selected to update the firmware on my device

opted for the option - not to erase any user data

selected the absolute minimum of files to be updated

flashed phone

and now it is working, all settings as they were before - no data loss

I had to run kingroot again but that worked to perfection once I force stopped kinguser in settings / apps

hope this helps someone else

Hi,

I've an old Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Tablet (A-rival BioniQ 700 HD (http://www.a-rival.de/de/pad/bioniq/7/bioniqhd)) just for testing.

The tablet has Root and Xposed Framework installed.

When I long-press the power button there only pops up the message "Do you want to shut down?", no real power menu.

I don't know if this is a normal behavior with JB or a modification in the ROM. Is there any way to get a full power menu?

GravityBox's "Adv. Reboot menu" and APM+ didn't work at all.

Best regards,

Chris

I was using the stock Email app, but since I updated to Lollipop I always got the "Exchange Services has stopped unexpectely". I got tired of waiting for a update/fix and decided to use a 3rd part mail app.

I have read through and testet different mail apps and ended up with two candidates:

Nine

Type Mail / Bluemail

I love both - specially for the features to combine mails with tasks, so I can be reminded of mails later etc. Only difference for me is that Nine is a paid app and Typemail is free.

However I need your help on the privacy! It seems some mail clients store mails temporary on their server, scan your mails and sell information to advertisers and maybe other stuff? Does anyone has insights on this and preferable regarding these apps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Portgas D. Ace:
You could try K-9 Mail, an open source mail client. It is available on Play Store as well as on F-Droid.

I am afraid of email apps that rely on third party mail servers

I am also afraid of email apps that rely on third party mail servers for the very reasons you have stated above. Were you able to find an android app that "fetches" and isn't associated with scanning or selling private info? I have heard good things about TypeApp and BlueMail - but there seems to be a third party email server involved, which I would really like to avoid. Also, I would prefer not having a unified mailbox, as I have five separate emails that I am constantly checking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I am hoping somebody here might be able to help me with this.

I bought a note 4 SM-N910F version which is the model all the Irish networks use. I bought it Sim free from Max Movil in spain, but after doing a network scan, all I can see are the following networks.

3

3.

IRL - Meteor

If I do a network scan from my failing HTC one (won't charge unless switched off) I get the following networks.

3 (3G)

3 (4G)

3 (2G)

Meteor (3G)

Vodafone IE (3G)

Meteor (2G)

O2-IRL (2G)

METEOR (3G)

Can anyone help with what firmware I should be using with this phone? I obviously don't want to flash a carriers bloated rom, I just want a stock rom for now, that will not void my warranty (only just bought, not ready to root yet) and will work on all the Irish networks.

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

Done some digging around, and also upgraded the phone to lollipop 5.0.1 (Official) and after connecting to Kies, I can see the rom is a Portuguese version. Would that be why i'm not seeing all the Irish networks? If so, would flashing the UK EVR rom (which I cannot find a working link to) work?

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] updateing:
sysfs is pseudo filesystem. The content there is not stored on disk, and will be reset on reboot.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] -fluffy-:
I know that's why I need to know we're it is hidden in boot.img
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] updateing:
They are not in the ramdisk. Instead, the device drivers populate these sysfs files/nodes. You may want to check the discussion thread about unlocking bands in general forum. The OP there is planning to add some hax into kernel, which I think more reasonable.

In boot.img somewere the band code is hidden just need to find out we're so I can change it so it's gets the same code on reboot
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Justere:
LTE bands depends on RF_SKU_ID value.

In kernel sources RF_SKU_ID is defined based on "zenfone2.MR7.1-2.18.40\linux\kernel\arch\x86\platform\intel-mid\intel_mid_sfi.c" file.

Possibly, if we change it to static WW value "0", then LTE bands may become available.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] hi-phile:
Not sure if this helps, but thought I'd mention it.

My CN region ZF2 has unlocked bootloader and is rooted. I am very much interested in this thread. Using adb shell as su, I have poked around the phone and see that under /factory/PhoneInfodisk/PhoneInfo_inf contains 'CN' along with the the serial no, and other items.

Also, in the same directory /factory/PhoneInfodisk the file 'country_code' contains only CN.

127|root@Z00A:/factory/PhoneInfodisk # ls -l
ls -l
-r----x--t root root 612 1999-12-31 22:36 PhoneInfo_inf

-rw-rw-rw- root root 13 1999-12-31 22:36 ssn

Also, the rf_sku_id is 2 on my phone. I looked under /factory/telephony and there is a directory called 2 and contains a file:

root@Z00A:/factory # cd telephony
cd telephony
root@Z00A:/factory/telephony # ls -l
ls -l
drwxrwx--- system radio 1999-12-31 16:01 2
