Hello All,

I'm looking at either the BLU Vivo IV 5.5mm, or the BLU Vivo Air LTE 5.1mm,

I just love the super thin design of them both.. but, I'm kind of a newb to cell tech!?

What I'm not sure about are the Chipset/CPU & GPU, I've read quite a bit about them both & I'm still not quite sure what is better!? lol

Q: Which phone is better/faster?

Specs:

BLU Vivo IV. MAY 2014. NOW $250.

Size: 5.0 inches. BETTER!

Resolution: Super AMOLED, 1080 x 1920 pixels (441 ppi). BETTER!

Chipset: Mediatek MT6592. NOT SURE?

CPU: Octa-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A7. NOT SURE?

GPU: Mali-450MP4. NOT SURE?

Memory: 16 GB, 2 GB RAM. SAME.

Camera: 13MP/5MP. BETTER!

Battery: 2300 mAh. BETTER!

BLU Vivo Air LTE. SEP 2015. NOW $150.

Size: 4.8 inches. WORSE!

Resolution: AMOLED, 720 x 1280 pixels (306 ppi). WORSE!

Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410. NOT SURE?

CPU: Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53. NOT SURE?

GPU: Adreno 306. NOT SURE?

Memory: 16 GB, 2 GB RAM. SAME.

Camera: 8MP/5MP. WORSE!

Battery: 2050 mAh. WORSE!

Use: I'll be using the phone for calls (1-2 a week), light gaming, would like good graphics/FPS, & using as a security device for two step authentication for online accounts etc.

Thanks for the help, Phil B.
[General Topics] A_Bunny:
In terms of which is faster the blu vivo iv has better specifications and is faster then the air. Also because of the airs smaller and lower res screen and lower res camera I think the iv would be the better choice. However if you want the phone as thin as possible and would like to pay a bit less then the air may not be a bad choice though I think the 4 would be better for your needs.

Just my thoughts and the choice is up to you in the ene.

Hope this helps.

How many days which have a release for cm-13 SNAPSHOT ROM :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsmart:
You can check their blog for new information -> http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog. They write around 1 post a month on their blog, so the february post may come in the next days. Communication could be better (what is a blog for?).

The fact that they did not release a snasphot gives you a hint on what to expect from current nighlies. You can have a look at the cm13-stable branch here -> http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+branch:stable/cm-13.0-ZNH0E. There are still so many changes getting merged every day, I would not expect a snapshot before march.

Unfortunately they quietly dropped support for cm12.1, no snapshot with security updates since november. There is still a stable branch for cm12.1 with security updates (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+branch:stable/cm-12.1-YOG7D). Hard to understand why they don't update at least the snapshots for cm12.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Thaifight-R:
What bases and ROMS are you folks running?

Any recommendations on which ROMs you like most?

My AT&T GS4 is on stock rooted MF3 right now. (came from the box with MF3, so I'm only able to Safestrap)

Trying to decide whether to stay Jelly Bean, upgrade to Kit Kat, or upgrade to Lolipop. (And run a Safestrap compatible ROM of course)

So far, I can't seem to find very many Safestrap compatible MF3 ROMS anymore. (I think the only one I was able to find was the Venom one)

On the other hand, it seems like there are many more ROM options with the newer upgrades, but I heard that Safestrap can by finicky with Lolipop? Although I suppose I can always downgrade to Kit Kat from Lolipop. But if I'm understanding correctly, I would never be able to go back to Jelly Bean once I update to Kit Kat.

What do you folks think I should do? Is it worth going to Kit Kat/Lolipop or should I just stay with Jelly Bean and use the Venom ROM?

Thanks!

[Xiaomi Mi 4] sam_su:
Since Xiaomi and Micro$oft released a public ROM of Windows 10 Mobile for Mi4, the curiosity drives me to try it. But I felt so uncomfortable after successfully installed win10 on my mi4.

So I decided go back to Android roms. But sh*t happened - my mi4 got bricked during the flashing.

Phone won't boot with black screen and no boot options. Holding any buttons (including power button + volume down more than 2 minutes) won't work.

The pc can not recognize a USB device after it is plugged in (in both Windows XP and Windows 8.1).

Then I plug it into my Mac OS X with a VirtualBox of Windows 7 OS inside.

The USB devices shows a unknown device of id 05C6:F006.

I did a lot of googling of 05c6:f006 which seems to be 05c6:9008 and something Qualcomm related.

And the most important thing is to make my computer to recognize it.

So things I need to figure out:

Is my phone hardware damaged or software damaged (hard bricked or soft bricked)?

Do I need to disassemble it?

How can I make my pc to recognize it ?

I just updated my Honor 7 to MM with EMUI 4.0 and there are too many little changes.

But most important is that the simple option of graph to check the battery usage i.e. which app / screen / process is using maximum battery is draining how much battery; its gone from the settings.

Now, we are supposed to take a lloooonnnnggg route for this basic need.

Use the app phone manager and follow a hell lot of steps to enter a screen which shows separate hardware and software usage.

Do you know any basic app that can help me here?

I want something like this which is no more available on EMUI 4.0

You can use a launcher like Nova and set up a shortcut to go straight to the battery setting.

Multimedia

I will be posting some pictures because for some people camera is really important, and even when this is not an expensive phone, camera is pretty decent.

About the video, I don't have at the moment any samples, but I have to say that image quality is good as well, but in really loud environments (clubs, concerts) the microphone get saturated and this will lead to some crappy sound in videos.

Can you install one of the apps "Hardware info" or "cpu-z" and test the sensors? And maybe post a screenshot?

Some say there is a gyroscope, some say there is none...

Is there an ambient light sensor in g8?
[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
I already made the test in the past, and for sure there is no gyroscope here. I tried the same videos on my old phone and they were working there, but not on this phone.

About the ambient sensor, yes it comes with one.

But when i change position of my phone, it will switch automatically from landscape to portrait mode?

Can i play car racing games where i can steer my car with moving and turning the phone?

So when this only will affect taking photos or videos - it´s not a big fault for me.
[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
Yes, because all those tasks are made with the Accelerometer, not with the Gyroscope, the phone changes automatically to landscape or portrait with no problem.

I tested Asphalt 8 and it runs perfectly fine with just turning the device to the right or left, so no worries here because of that.

My girlfriend has a european g8 and she's so frustrated because of the missing whatsapp notifications and wifi autoreconnect bug.. Downloading now a b170 fw hope it will really fix those bugs..

Did you see this guys? Is this true or fake? and if it is true, what's that Aosp or cm13?

http://android-xda.net/tutorial/upgrade-update-huawei-g8/
[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
The update is fake, Huawei never put their software updates on 3 parts, and most of the page just have the same text and same screenshots for the phones they claim to have a different ROM.

About the WiFi bug, there is nothing we can't make, but as for WhatsApp, install the version I gave on the "Tips, Tricks and Bugs" section and it will be fixed, trust me.

Just remember that B170 is an update for single SIM G8.

;)
[Huawei GX8] FcukBloat:
Thanks mate! Yes I've already installed the whatsapp version you suggested, and it seems to be working fine now, let's see if it will stay like that :o

About the wifi that's a very big and bad bug..Let's hope they'll fix it soon! :o why they don't release b170 also fit dual sim :(

thank you bye!
[Huawei GX8] Bib_x:
Did you root your phone and unlock the bootloader already?

In the german forum there was written, that you can´t install huawei updates OTA anymore if rooted.

How can you make an update if you rooted your phone? Downloading stock rom from support page and flash manually?

There are many people with wlan problems with the newest rom B160. No automatic connect in home network. If this big issue will be fixed soon, perhaps i will buy the g8.
[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
I haven't done that yet, not root or unlock bootloader, I don't see the need yet, because stock has for me everything I currently need.

About the updates, Is not about the root, but about the recovery. Usually when you root, you install first a custom recovery, so when the OTA comes, it can't update automatically because it doesn't recognize the recovery and it fails. Many people is going back to stock, make an update and then root again, I think is the safest way to have the latest updates and root.

About the WiFi problems, many people claim that B170 already fixes this issue and also the notifications problem, which are the most important bugs for this phone.

;)
[Huawei GX8] Bib_x:
But currently B170 is out for single-sim only?

In germany i get the dual-sim version i think.

If i root my phone and want to update - go back to stock means, flash the whole stock rom with twrp and then twrp is removed automatically too?
[Huawei GX8] FcukBloat:
Yes b170 only for single sim ;( in Italy also there is only dual sim :(
[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
Yes, B170 is only for single sim, even though I have heard about a B160 (from France) which maybe could be dual sim, but I'm not sure.

If you want to go back to stock, you should flash the whole system image I think, not only the ROM. You have to be sure you have the stock recovery and ROM in order to have a successful update. Some people is trying to flash B170 while having root and they are bricking their phones or in a boot-loop, they can't even enter to recovery; so never update if you are root.

:fingers-crossed:

[Huawei GX8] Bib_x:
I can get the Huawei GX 8 or the Huawei Mate S for the same price.

Which of them would you prefer if the price is the same? Still GX8 or in this case would you change to Mate S?
[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
I still would choose the G8, because of the processor and the battery.

Is personal, but I don't like Kirin processors, I always go for Qualcomm, even when this year they were kind of crappy, because HiSilicon never releases drivers, so this mean no development or support outside Huawei. Besides this, I heard that some applications are not "compatible" with certain processors that are not Qualcomm, but I'm not sure about this because is something I read on forums but never experienced myself.

The display, the camera, RAM and everything else is similar, and for the price, I think is a better option the G8. If you would like to buy something similar in price to the Mate S, I would go for the Nexus 6P.

I think the only option out there that can compete with this phone in terms of software and hardware, would be the Lenovo Vibe X3, which has everything improved over the G8 and for the same amount of money or maybe the new Redmi Note 3 Pro, which come with the new Snapdragon 650, which I think would come on February.

[Huawei GX8] Bib_x:
In a few days Huawei Honor 5X will be released in germany. Specs seems like to be the same like GX8. Biggest "new" feature: alu unibody - gx8 has alu-unibody too.

Don´t know why they release 2 nearly identical phones...
[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
The G8 itelsf has now 3 variants: G8, GX8 and G7 Plus, so is a common practice from Huawei depending on the market.

About the phones, the main difference between these is the RAM and the storage: Honor 5X only have 2GB RAM and 16GB in storage, so that's also why the difference in price, but yes, besides that, everything is similar.

Can you auto hide the black bar with android buttons at the bottom? This is very big and takes big place in the screen if always on. Devices with extra touch buttons below the screen can usw the whole screen for display.

Gesendet von meinem KFFOWI mit Tapatalk
[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
This device doesn't have that function, but the buttons auto-hide in games, movies, videos, pictures, etc.

I prefer this option because makes phones smaller, but some other people prefer the capacitive buttons.

The perfect example is the G3/G4, both were 5.5", but they were smaller or the same size as many 5.2".

[Huawei GX8] Bib_x:
It is very disappointing, that huawei can´t make a good update und fix all known bugs. I can´t live with a wifi bug, this is a big issue for me.

So i´m looking for a samsung galaxy note 4. It has a 5,7" screen and is nearly same size as gx8.

Anybody knows both phones? Is this a good decision? GX 8 is a little bit cheaper and has a 64bit cpu, but for note 4 there are many custom roms and no anoying wifi bug...
[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
About the WiFi bug, is fixed on the last update (B170).

As far as I know, the B160 is the one who fixes some issues for dual sim phones.

[Huawei GX8] FcukBloat:
yeah but not the wifi bug, the biggest problem I see in this phone right now ;(
[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
Some people claim that deleting the WiFi and put the data again fixes the problem.

For me, I had this bug and one day I made this and everything started to work perfectly.

Also disable the option that says "verify internet connection", which also has some problems and is buggy.

[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
Try to look for the CUST number, if you have different CUST, you won't be able to update.

:fingers-crossed:

It seems that B180 was released some time ago, but I didn't want to put anything here because I thought it was false. I found a german forum when you can download it, but it didn't seem genuine to me.

This version should fix all the old problems.

:p
[Huawei GX8] carman1tr:
The Custom is CUST 464D001
[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
Mine is CUSTC432D004, so maybe that's the reason you can't make the update works, probably you will have to wait for the update of your region.

Another possibility is to wipe your complete system and install B170 as the new one, but it can affect your signal and bands of your country.

[Huawei GX8] Galaxo60:
Usually with every Android version, the recovery changes, as well as the kernel and other files.

For sure we will have to wait until some version compatible with Marshmallow is out, besides the fact that Marshmallow now is only a beta and many things can change from beta to official release.

Marshmallow beta was out just for some people in order to test it, is not the official yet.

You have to download and extract the update.app into a folder called "dload" in the root of the memory.

After that, you turn off the phone and press all 3 buttons: power button, volume up and volume down buttons until it enters the recovery and it starts to install automatically the update.

This is for a clean installation as far as I know.
