There are already some developers busy with development of custom roms for the Huawei P8 Lite.

There kernel and the source can already been build for android 5 and android 6.

http://xdaforums.com/p8lite/general/kernel-boot-stock-android-6-0-t3344841

Cyanogenmod is for the moment a problem because of good vendor files.

For now only wifi is working on AOSP builds, as long that there is no RIL ( calling ) you can't do anything with the Custom rom.

I'm personally have buid a bootable rom with Omnirom.

Source for that rom you can find here : https://github.com/olrak2/android_device_huawei_alice/

First off, anyone have both the nexus 6 and note 4? I don't want the 5 due to the most likely non existent development and the fact it isn't a real upgrade from the 4.

I'm used to a big phone but just bored with the nexus 6, so I'm curious what you guys think.

I'd say make the trade. I had to choose which one to get about 5 months ago and got the Note 4, I haven't been disappointed. Touchwiz has its quirks but that can be helped by a decent rom
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidguru:
I think you are being a little naughty with your description of our Note 4.

The build quality is excellent, the camera amazing, SDCard support, removable battery, good selection of TouchWiz ROMs, CM 12 on both chip varieties and Xposed working on all. What's not to like?

I wouldn't swap my Note 4 for a Nexus 6

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevew84:
Thanks for the replies.

I've had the Nexus 6 since April so I figure time for something else. I've gone through the LG G3, Moto X 2015 and the Galaxy S5. The new line of Nexus this year do not look that great, so I figure I'd try my hand with Samsung once more. I've even considered the G4 since the G3 was such a beast of a phone.

I might use Jump since I'm on TMO, but I need to call and check if I can do that. I MIGHT end up with the Note 5 if I can get it for minimal cost when trading in the Nexus 6.

Hello!

Does anyone know, what might be the cause of this problem:

i-mate JasJar does not connect using WiFi Ad-Hoc mode with WPA-None and TKIP encryption to a PC (with WiFi network card ASUS WL-138g V2).

It does connect fine when I select "No encryption" or WEP, both with Open and Shared auths.

However, when i choose WPA-None and TKIP, connection:

1) either cannot be established (network shown as "Available", I click "Connect", it flashes "Connecting" for a second and then just "Available" again)

2) after JasJar reboot, connection seems to establish ok, but no data can pass through it - i.e. ping does not work, web pages do not open, and soon (after several minutes) it will disconnect and won't connect again until next reboot. (returns to behavior #1)

I am sure I set the same settings (including network key) both on PC and on JasJar.

Does anyone use such configuration (Ad-Hoc WPA), and if so, what are hardware and settings?

Thanks in advance.

[Zopo Speed 7 Plus] xdazilla:
Hello,

when inserting an external SD card, the internal memory card is then mounted as sdcard1 and the inserted external card is mounted as sdcard0. So Android starts writing a lot oft data to the external SD card.

How can I avoid this? Android should not touch the external SD card. I want to copy pix, music and backup manually to it.

Any suggestions?
[Zopo Speed 7 Plus] yascooluk:
Hi just go to settings =storage and then change default write disk to phone storage
[Zopo Speed 7 Plus] xdazilla:
Hello,

and you have tested this by yourself? If I insert an external SD card, switch to "default write disk to phone storage" and delete ALL data on this SD card, Android

immediately starts to write to data on it:

The folders "LOST.DIR", ".thumbnails" and "Android" are created. In the folder "Android" there is the folder "data" with several App-Data in it.

Even some Apps like WhatsApp start to write data to the external SD card.

So, switching to "default write disk to phone storage" does NOT keep Android away from writing data to it.

For example, on my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 the external SD card is mounted as "sdcard1" and no files are written to it automatically.

I browsed the web for hours, but did not find any solutions for this problem. It is not a big thing, but it is annoying.

Settings =>storage => default disk write storage "Phone" has no effect. Lots of Apps point to sdcard0, which is now the external sdcard.

Please help me clarify my below queries..

- Are there any disadvantages like - the OS or something will have chinese language which cannot be changed etc?

- What is the customs tax for importing to India (anyone tried importing to India from gearbest/geekbuying etc)? I dont want the customs tax bloating up the total price of the price of locally available other equivalent models like one plus two/one..

- What things should I adjust to live with if I import from china instead of buying an international phone or my country version
[Redmi Note 2 General] Ouzo:
I'm not sure about India specifically, but for me in the UK the only way to get the Note 2 was via a reseller.

The installed ROM was poor and had various bloatware in it that the international official ROM does not. I would recommend getting rid of it right away. You can flash either the stock stable ROM or the developer edition which will also give you root access if you need it. I will be using the fastboot method to flash a ROM as soon as i get within reach of a PC to make sure my phone is malware free.

Sorry, I can't comment on import duties, perhaps someone else will chip in.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Karthik48:
Thanks! That was a great info ! So you mean I dont have to worry even if the Redmi Note 2 I get has some other ROM i can flash to better one.

Let me see if anyone else reply with other questions I have. I am also concerned about what i will do if the device is defective whether shops like gearbest give a replacement, etc.
[Redmi Note 2 General] jessesam:
where can I get the international official rom ?
[Redmi Note 2 General] Ouzo:
Have a look on http://en.miui.com/ for info on downloading the MIUI ROMs as well as how to flash, either from the updater software on the phone, recovery, or from a PC (such as in fastboot mode).

[Redmi Note 2 General] zan5hin:
The biggest problem is the time it takes for shipping. I bought mine from a HK shop on eBay because I dropped my LG G2 and needed it fast, so I paid a little more.

Even the China ROM comes with English, so don't worry.

You just have to read up on my previous posts or look at the MIUI forum to figure out how to install GAPPS, TWRP recovery + SuperSU.

Once you delete the chinese bloatware it is just like any other english android device. Except for the MIUI theme store which is still in Chinese.

i also bought the same phone from oppomart, and I got the 799,- RMB edition, which is supposed to not support FDD-LTE, but it does... At least on my phones it shows LTE bands 1/3/7 as supported when entering the code *#*#3646633#*#* on the dialpad.

It seems there is some hack to convert the cheaper "China Mobile" version into the "China Unicom / international" variant...

This is the photo of the back of my box. Do you have the same label?
[Redmi Note 2 General] jack_21:
That's mine

4G here is perfect, i am in a rural area and it works like a charm

Bands 1, 3, 7, 38, 39, 40, 41

[Redmi Note 2 General] Candanga:
Got tired to wait for an Invite for the OPT; which I was planing to replace my OPO so I could give it to my wife.. So I pulled the trigger on a Redmi Note 2 for my wiffey and kept the OPO (apparently there is no need to spend more coin on insignificant upgrades)... anyways...

Purchased it at Gearbest, Advanced edition (wanted the faster memory and 2.2GHz). I will report later which ROM version it came with, and any 1st thoughts about the device.

If I notice too much Chinese bloatware, I'll flash immediately the latest unofficial multi-language :p
[Redmi Note 2 General] geco4u:
So, apparently we both got the "China Mobile" (799 RMB) version....

....so do you confirm you phone goes 4G (you see the icon LTE/4G on your status bar)??

Great! My operator uses only band 20 so I'm constantly under 3G coverage and I didn't check if the phone works with 4G networks so far...

All this is actually strange, because this phone version by default doesn't support LTE bands 1,3,7 (but only 38,39,40,41) so there must be some "hack" to unlock those frequencies.
[Redmi Note 2 General] jack_21:
Yes, i confirm :)

It's not fast as in big cities, but to make a comparison, here we have only a 7 Mbps ADSL broadband connection throught fixed line. To get 30 mbps speed here in Italy you have to be supplied with Fiber-to-the-Cab / VDSL2 [emoji19]

So the hack may be only software / firmware related...
[Redmi Note 2 General] geco4u:
Which MIUI version are you running now?

BTW when I realized oppomart sold me this phone version, I opened a claim @ papal for "item not as described" (on their product page, under specs, they didn't list TDD bands, but only FDD, which made me believe they were selling the "international" version) and asked for 30$ refund. After a quick investigation I got this money back (initially the seller admitted he sold me the cheaper version, but refused any refund). You may try the same, if you also thought you where buying the other version...
[Redmi Note 2 General] jack_21:
MIUI 7 5.9.24 by Xiaomi.eu
[Redmi Note 2 General] geco4u:
Cool. This means the hacks stays also when updating the ROM.

Did you read what I wrote above about paypal? (I edited the message after you answered to my question about the miui version.)

Apparently the hacked phones were shipped with 150917_Redmi_NOTE2_V6.7.3.0.LHMCNCH_FDD.rar

oppomart provided me this link where to download it http://pan.baidu.com/s/1ntH30k5
[Redmi Note 2 General] jack_21:
Yes! But i don't think that in my case i will be refunded because Italian LTE frequencies are enabled.

I'll give a look

Thank you
[Redmi Note 2 General] geco4u:
I live in Germany, LTE bands are the same. The point is (at least in my case) I thought I was buying the 899,- RMB version, since the cheaper one doesn't support FDD.

We got an "hacked" version that officially doesn't support our 4G (look at the specs on your box! no mention about FDD bands!).

What about if one day, after an update, your phone stops working with LTE??

So, in my opinion, the seller omitted to provide those important information about the product. And Paypal decided into my favour.
[Redmi Note 2 General] jack_21:
Yes.. You're right.

Do you have o2 ?

Oppomart has removed the phone from the site. For now it will sell only accessories.

We have to discover how to unlock bands however... Here the 800 MHz (20) band is used only by Wind that have not a very great coverage.. But if we could enable band 20 we will be fine and we will know how to unlock band 1, 3, 7 if after a sw update that may restore the phone to factory nvram
[Redmi Note 2 General] geco4u:
Yes, O2.

Now here in Germany O2 and e-Plus merged into the same company, so I also have roaming into e-Plus network and so virtually I can link to band 3 (1800 MHz). But my phone is always under H+.

I think (and hope!) this is due to my data plan restrictions (usually LTE speed is an extra package that has to be paid extra, and my data plan maximum speed is limited to 7,2 Mbps). So I don't miss so much the LTE (and battery life is way better under 3G).

But I want to be able to use 4G once I upgrade my data plan or change operator...

So far I didn't make many test to check if my phone is really able to work under band 3, but as soon as I can I will.
[Redmi Note 2 General] oro_rosso:
Do not trust Oppomart.

Do not trust Oppomart.

I buy two time from oppomart first time they sent me a new phone, second time a used phone, I sent back and they stole me 400 euro on refound.

“I’m sorry the packet arrived empty are you sure you put the phone inside?”

Come on!

I buy from aliexpress and pandawill, it never happen something like this.

Check here: https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/oppomart.com
[Redmi Note 2 General] geco4u:
Maybe pandawill has better reputation than oppomart, but I don't agree what you state about aliexpress....

...they are like ebay... inside you can find good and bad sellers as well.

I'm sorry for what happened with your second phone, but I think this problem was also caused by the way that claim was managed. If you paid with paypal, and you open a dispute like I did, I'm pretty sure you would get the money back. You just need to explain the problem and follow the instructions for the return (once you have the receipt of the shipment back to china you're done, just wait for the refund into your account).
[Redmi Note 2 General] kornelio6:
I received my Redmi Note 2 from Gearbest today. Everything looks fine, except that it looks to be carrying a non official ROM. I'm using german carrier "blau.de" and mi connection shows up as "4G" in the notification area. So far so good! I'm planning to flash with latest dev rom as I find too many bugs in the stock MIUI 6.
[Redmi Note 2 General] geco4u:
Which version did you order/get? I mean, they sent you a TDD-LTE version with hacked FDD frequencies, or got an "official" version?

How did they ship? Did you had to pay for import taxes?
[Redmi Note 2 General] kornelio6:
Hi!

I'm not sure how to figure that out, but:

The label on the back of the box show different symbols in comparison to the ones image attached previously in this thread. If I enter *#*#3646633#*#*, it also shows support for bands 1, 3 and 7. When I run on my data, it shows a 4G symbol above. Download is 56Mb, upload 3.38, ping 37ms.

They sent directly from china, shipped on the 2015-09-18 and arrived today 2015-09-29 at my place. It passed through UK before arriving to Berlin. Import duties: zero. This is the 16Gb, 2Ghz edition. Final price €154.77.

Also, I've wiped and flashed the ROM xiaomi.eu_multi_hermes_5.9.24_v7-5.0.zip, and honestly works way more stable, almost no bloatware and better translation. Almost no blocking bugs so far, and less RAM usage. (1.1GB free after cleansing). The reseller ROM had some weird log files on the root filesystem that freaked me out. They basically tracked all the services I logged in. My recommendation: do not even try to use the GearBest stock ROM!!!

peace,

kornelio

[Redmi Note 2 General] geco4u:
Cool. So apparently you got the "China Unicom version" (the one priced 899,- RMB in China) for a VERY good price. You can post a photo of the box to make it sure.

Mine costed 179,- USD, shipped to Germany (no import taxes had to be paid, since my shipment cleared customs in France) but, as I wrote before, I got the TDD version.

But when I realized they shipped me that version I opened a claim at Paypal for "item as not described" and got 30$ refunded.

So, in the end, it costed me about 135,- EUR... cannot blame but I hope to never have issues with LTE!'
[Redmi Note 2 General] linr76:
a good reseller is Merimobiles - i got a Redmi 1s, a MI3, MI power bank 10400mAh, a MI router and now the Redmi Note 2 Prime from them. they might not be the cheapest around if you are searching for the lowest price, but you always get what you paid for. No, i don't get money for this post, it's just my personal opinion and i am very pleased with all the transactions i did with them. Support with them works fine also.

efox, coolicool and all these (which are the same company btw) i would not recommend.

You should try to help the devs that try to hack the lte bands on the other model without these bands. They have a thread somewhere here in the forum. Maybe you can give them some files they need :)

Has anyone bought the unlocked GSM version from JD or aliexpress? Numerous people have said the seller has said it's the same as the FDD, but I haven't seen any first hand reviews. Can anyone comment?

Weighing up whether to save a few bucks and buy the unlocked GSM or get the FDD version. My provider in Australia requires 1800 band frequency and having 700 would be a bonus. Seeing as people on here are trying to unlock the bands I'm not sure whether the unlocked GSM will allow for frequency hacking down the track. Any thoughts?
