[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebbe:
it seems the same with my device, excpet it's in the lower left corner (when phone is lying on the front). it's just a litte little little bit. as long as it stays "waterresistent", i don't bother :D
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anonymous2103:
Yeah, Im most worried about it affecting the waterproofing but apart from that its just a bit of a bother.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anonymous2103:
Yeah I'm also worried about that too
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alvaris:
It's the same for mine too. My thoughts are pretty much the same as hebbe's. As long as it doesn't affect the waterproofing, it's all right
[Redmi Note 2 Accessories] Leader2light:
The case is great folks and it really changes the whole phone. Much higher quality and physically changes the entire phone.

[Redmi Note 2 Accessories] grox:
Isn't the phone slippery? I see a very clear backing, easy gliding out of your hand?
[Redmi Note 2 Accessories] asalt:
Is it easy to take off the cover?

What's with signal strength? Is it the same as in original plastic cover?
[Redmi Note 2 Accessories] sikica133:
It looks like its higher quality, but it doesnt feel the same. I've had it for 3 months now. Key findings:

-makes your phone thicker, which isnt necessarily bad cause it actually protects the camera, camera doesnt stick out anymore and isnt prone to scratching

-back housing extremely easy to scratch/damage

-smudges easily

-fit and finish isnt really good. it squeaks on places, even though it fits fine

It doesnt make the phone slippery, however a few mm of thickness might make it too big to hold compared to stock cover, at least thats my experience. it works pretty much the same as the original cover.

And despite the rant, I'm still using it. It just makes the phone look cool ^^

Oh yeah and the most important thing

I ordered 3 of those. 2 of them were flawless, however one case had a tad thicker al frame, so when you try to plug your headphones in, you get a distorted sound cause it doesnt really go all the way in. youll need to drill it and widen the hole a bit
[Redmi Note 2 Accessories] Leader2light:
Signal seems the same. No it is not easy to remove the cover. Much more difficult than the original to remove. Good or bad depending how often you remove back cover.
[Redmi Note 2 Accessories] Leader2light:
No, not at all.
[Redmi Note 2 Accessories] Leader2light:
Nice review. Its not perfect, but better than the cheap original cover.

It really is a cool way to basically change the entire phone physically.
[Redmi Note 2 Accessories] mortmaru:
signal has dropped a bit on mine and this is not as good getting rid of heat I have noticed.
[Redmi Note 2 Accessories] 433Mhz:
Did anyone find a more rubbery/sticky backcover replacement? I've got the original black one and it's way too slippery.
[Redmi Note 2 Accessories] Leader2light:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...dmi-Note-2-Mobile-Phone-back/32522061373.html

There are cases that fit what you need, but battery cover replacements are nicer.
[Redmi Note 2 Accessories] AirMJ:
Of course it drops ! There's so many test in Google Play Store. Just a hint - make a screenshot of some GPS Test app (that shows the signal bars with digits). I had such a aluminum frame (mine is without a back, uses the original, but is very nice) and made a tests. GPS signal drops with about 6-7 ... still not bad, but is excellent without metal frame. The voice quality also drops and makes problems in areas with bad connectivity. The Wi-Fi seems less affected (made no tests).

Sorry man, I'm rarely so harsh, but this thread is VERY misleading, not to say something worse. Yes - aluminum frames are very cute, but on high price - the connectivity. That's why my cute frame gathers the dust, don't use it anymore . One more thing - tried to touch the bottom of two other phones (Xperia Z3 compact is one of them) with such metal frame and GPS signal drops even more drastically . That means that the metal frames are such a sh*t (sorry for the ugly word) !

Let me write about the second "great" back cover replacement - the "leather" one. The "leather" itself is fine - makes a good grip, very hard to drop the phone. But the frame's plastic is extremely soft - my keys made deep scratches on it. Now is ugly one. But the signal remains untouched. Thats why I'll return the stock back cover as soon as my purchased hard case comes.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netslacker:
You may be able to get the AT&T unlock code to use it on another carrier. I have the same tablet and am currently waiting for an unlock code from AT&T. My first request was denied, so I got on the chat and they escalated the request as all requirements are met. So we'll see.

The unlock won't remove the AT&T start logo or at&t apps but should allow it to be used on another carrier, if that's what you're looking for.

I was told not to expect a response from AT&T until after the 19th, so hopefully they come through for me.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PunchTheLion:
Anyone else get this horrible issue? Last night the battery was around 90% after charging. Slept overnight as I usually do most nights and in the morning I couldn't turn on the Pixel C.

Fully expecting to have died I plugged it in and turned it back by holding the power button down for 20 seconds. I discovered the battery had lost over 50%! I needed it for work today! This is the second time it has done this but last time I can't recall the battery losing so much.

I suspect it isn't hardware related as otherwise the battery is pretty fantastic and that I guess we are in fact just privileged owners of a premium device that is going through public beta test! Anyone else see this before? :D

See the screenshot for yourself!

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephstyler:
I encountered something similar, twice, I suspect it was the USB A to C cable I was using to charge. The cable supposedly met spec, and checks out via Checkr, but use that cable twice, and it crashed twice, both times left to charge, went to bed to discover the same results. Other cables have not yielded any issues yet.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] followmsi:
Yes, switching off auto brightness helps quite a lot on stock kernel.

Still had crashes, but less frequently.

Two days ago I did install the xceed kernel (01.18.2016-1) - no crashes anymore. :)

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gutted:
My gf's S6 doesn't fast charge anymore. I have a S6 too and tried cables, chargers and different outlets so for sure that's not the problem. I've made sure the plug is all the way in so it's not that. I'm going to contact Samsung because we're still under the year mark but there is a small possibility some water may have gotten in the charging port. With 3 kids it's tough keeping your toys away from them all the time. Anyone hear of any issues with the fast charge not working? Most of the threads I could find about this issue is resolved with a new charger or just plugging it all the way.

Good evening everybody,

Appologies for attaching to this post but my question is about fast charging in G920F I own, too. When I use stock AC quick charger and stock Samsung cable, my phone charges quickly (not a surprise). But when I use stock quick charger and other microUSB cable (e.g. the one I got with the Chromecast 2), S6 charges in normal "slow" mode. Does this functionality depend on the cable?

Thanks in advance for a reply & best regards.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solitarymonkey:
It depends on 3 things. The phone, the charger and the connection (th e cable). So yes, the cable is a crucial factor in utilising Fast Charge :)

Think of it as having a fast car, a driver comfortable with pushing the car to the limits, and the road being the cable. If the road isn't build for the speed (let's liken it to a country ally/road) you can't safely drive at top speed. So you drive at the safest speed you can with the road you have. That's what the phone and charger do. Rather than blowing the cable (which could happen), it just draws a smaller amount of power to keep everything safe.

Sorry for the big reply. I like to be as informative as possible in one go :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gutted:
Well I tried Samsung wireless quick charger and still no luck. Guess I'll have to send it to Samsung.

Not on Android 6, still on 5. Thanks though
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0062:
I had the same thing happened to my S6 two weeks ago. It charged only slow way, even with a fast charger, and i tried few cables and solutions. At the end i took it to warranty and they replaced that whole board with USB port. It was done in 24 hours and now it works like new. They even gave me brand new Fast charger and cable for free. Good guy Samsung :D.
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
This is a very simple guide to load the International (NXT-L29) software onto the Chinese version (I have NXT-AL10 with 128GB and it works for me.) Please try at your own risk. If anything goes wrong you can always do the Wifi recovery.

Prerequisites:

Bootloader Unlocked.

Fastboot, ADB, Drivers (I can't do a tutorial for this, please google for how to get these set up.)

Files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B79PB4FhWfJAVXpUaGpmS3pyd28/view?usp=sharing

You should get a RAR file with a bunch of IMG files. These are extracted from NXT-L29_C900B133_Firmware_global_Nonspecific_Android6.0_EMUI4.0_05013HRE

Boot the phone into fastboot mode, using ADB or holding power+volume down.

Run the following fastboot commands:

fastboot flash cache (PATH-TO)cache.img

fastboot flash cust (PATH-TO)cust.img

fastboot flash system (PATH-TO)system.img

fastboot flash userdata (PATH-TO)userdata.img

If everything went well, everything will work when you boot it up.

It cost me $20 to download the firmware from an unscrupulous Iranian site, but I pass along the gains to everyone at no charge :)

Differences from the Chinese version:

1. Google apps and services.

2. Voice wakeup is no longer very powerful. If you speak Chinese, you can ask the Chinese version of HiVoice the weather, play music, etc. The International (English) version only lets you make calls and find your phone, so it's less useful.

3. Missing various Chinese apps.

For me, in a lot of ways the Chinese version is better. It makes me want to learn Chinese so I can have some hands-free assistant compatibility :P But things like Google Now on Tap are working in the International version, so it's useful in its own ways as well.

UPDATE: Wifi restore might not necessarily work to revert to Chinese firmware. So please be very careful. I was able to revert by using flashboot to put back the Chinese firmware, then using the wifi restore once my device was recognized as NXT-AL10 again.
[Mate 8 General] M@rs:
You can use google now/ now on tabfor weather, whatsapp and and calls.
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
Only if you unlock the phone first, though. For example, when I'm going to sleep and I have the phone nearby, I might ask the weather for the next day, etc. If I theoretically spoke Chinese well enough to do that, I could :P

I can use the voice assistant to wake the phone, then use "Ok Google" to activate google now, but google now's voice response only works if the phone has no lockscreen set. I have no idea why.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
hey duraaraa, so u managed to get to those firmwares after all, congratz! and big big thanks for making it available free of charge, kudos for taking one for the community! much appreciated :)

so hey, questions: did u notice any difference between the two firmwares concerning the ubiquituous notification issue? and why did u flash right back to the chinese firmware? are u so set on learning chinese? haha ;)
[Mate 8 General] M@rs:
Ah okay, didn't know about the lockscreen issue with google now.

Maybe a 3 party lockscreen app can solve the problem.
[Mate 8 General] thomascook:
THANK YOU!

Upgrade to my AL10/64GB works, i´ll give it a try because the original FW still got issues with push/google gcm apps, even with root...
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
It will not fix push messages. The push messages issue can be fixed with Doze settings or by disabling Phone Manager. But please note, you can't fix the push messages by installing this. I tried and failed :P
[Mate 8 General] duraaraa:
The reason is the Chinese firmware has more unique Huawei features. Feels like (although Google stuff got added) more got taken out than was added, and I can add the Google stuff myself, to the Chinese ROM.

The permission manager also became Google's version (I somewhat preferred Huawei's version), and there just didn't seem to be any reason to stay on the international firmware. The only thing I could think of is if I could somehow use international modem to enable Band 28 for Japan where I am currently, but since Band 1 and 3 are covered, I'm generally okay in that regard too.

As for learning Chinese to use the HiVoice assistant, I think it would be very fun to learn enough to communicate with my phone :P

To be clear, notification issues are exactly the same on Chinese and on International ROMS. Please don't get your hopes up :( You can fix them with Doze settings editor, though, on either.
[Mate 8 General] thomascook:
... yup ... damn!

I noticed that the file manager is missing on the internal rom. The yellow Pages App was removed and unlinked to the "call" app, so you won´t get any chinese numbers as recommendation if you start dail a number.

*** ROOT ***

i tried rooting the Mate8 with International (NXT-L29) Rom successfully. After setting up the device with the files from International rom, i sent it to twrp with the Mate8 root tool. On exit custom recovery, you may choose to install superSU script. After reboot into normal mode, superSU script appears on the screen and can be used to auto-Install SuperSU (again via twrp, but automatic mode).

I also admire your willingness to learn Chinese to take advantage of some of the Mate 8 features! I was wondering, on the international version, is recovery in English?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
true, good point, recovery in english would be another argument to switch to the international rom :) i guess im gonna take my time and check both the original chinese and the international rom, see which one serves my needs best :) just several days to go now, my mate 8 should be arriving next week :)

I would like to note that I have not been able to successfully get notifications working with the screen off (in doze IDLE state) with the international rom, regardless of doze settings. I'm working to figure out the root of the notifications issue. It looks like despite the timer, the phone never goes from IDLE to IDLE_MAINTENANCE in both the latest Chinese version and in the international version I posted in this thread. When I find the answers (I'm currently testing with an older Chinese version I had notifications working on before) I will let everyone know!

EDIT: I made a post about this, so please refer to it. If anyone can help me figure out why these phones (except for one firmware version) don't get out of IDLE when they're supposed to, we can solve this for everyone :)

Learn to QUOTE, much easier to reply and follow if you quote me.

I started with AL10 B103 and I'm now on L29 B162.

Are you trying to go from AL10 to L29? Or just staying on AL10 but want a later version of it?
[Mate 8 General] maly3648:
sorry about the quote ... yes i started from al10 and did the procedure to go to international rom as described in the first page of this thread. i was on B133 but was not getting any ota update and decided to update because of this awful notification issue with whatsapp but impossible if you just put the zip in the dload folder. How did you update to B162 and are you sure your notification issue is totally solved, especially with whatsapp messenger ?

[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and then flashed the files for B162. WhatsApp is working just fine for me.
[Mate 8 General] maly3648:
Strange because it seems this notification issue is still persistent even on B162 according to many people. How did you install B162 exactly ? Using TWRP or ? Do you have any link to the international version and the precodure to install it for people like us, coming from AL10 with unlocked bootloader ?
