[Mate 8 General] dpagoh:
I have ordered two Mate 8's for my wife and I off of gizok.com. Both are the AL10 model, so they're the Chinese model. Has anyone had any problems using with the AL10 in the USA? Has anyone been receiving OTA updates in the USA?

I plan on using it with my existing T-Mobile account, and since its dual sim, I can ditch my business phone, and kill two birds with one stone (I hate iPhones). I already have it set up to unlock the bootloader, and root the phone, but I'm hoping that I won't have to because being that this phone is so new, I don't want to miss any incoming OTA updates that may come in. I know I'm taking a risk in buying unlocked phones, but since this phone has such a wide range of frequency bands, I felt it was a risk worth taking.

I have been reading this forum A LOT! Since waiting for the phones to ship. I am aware the Google Services framework doesn't come standard in China, so I have read that I will need to install them manually. I'm wondering though, is it possible to download a GAPPS zip file, and flash it to make it easier? Thank you in advance.
[Mate 8 General] icy20:
You could always flash an international rom if you want. But with an unlocked device you kiss goodbye to FOTA... You have to install them manually. Im not from the states but I think there are a lot of ppl using it there with no problem.
[Mate 8 General] dpagoh:
I know that xda dev has never let me down, but is there a place where I can find out the latest firmware versions for the phone, and if I must flash it manually, where to download them?
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
just check the dev section :)
[Mate 8 General] loudog3114:
I use my AL10 on T-Mobile, no problem. I will say, though, that the Chinese device firmware is going to be different than anything you have used in the US before. The extra layer of app permissions and battery saving is definitely something that takes getting used to. If you have notification issues, it isn't because of the network. Make sure the app has ALL permissions it needs (you have to hunt to allow storage) and is whitelisted in the battery saver firewall.

I switched to the international ROM.
[SuperSU] Thalinor:
The past year I have been putting together proof the Google Play store has been cloned by the government and is being used for remote surveillance, updating key apps with hacked versions. I am a former security clearance holding federal employee; know (ie it said they could years after leaving in my original paperwork) I have been watched for my standpoint on the crap the US government has pulled over the past 15 years. After Snowden things got worse for everyone who works (or in my case used to work) for the DoD.

I already have enough to think at least Google 2 Step Authentication (idiots used a Langley # on 2 Step phone Auth callback until I tried to blog about it over two years ago) has been thwarted, and now am going further down the rabbit hole. Once I decide how I am going to proceed (after talking to a lawyer) I will probably dump everything I have (as well as some other fun treats) on the surveillance here on XDA.

When did you update SuperSU? I am a paid user that keeps all my apps up to date DAILY and rarely miss a day hitting the play store to check.

Today I got an update alert for SuperSU. The update date says February 1st (Screen Shot Below) and yet it's February 21st. I did not miss 21 days of checking for updates; it was yesterday I last checked. I have not gotten an update for SuperSu since 2.52 and the latest says 2.65, so this update that just popped took at least 21 days to show up on my play store app.
[SuperSU] FoxyDrew:
Trying to figure out if this is a joke or not.:eek:
[SuperSU] Sm007hCriminal:
Is this true??
[SuperSU] SpasilliumNexus:
Wow... You typed out a back story and conspiracy theories just to ask about an update? Ever hear of this thing called a rollout? Google does the exact same thing with their updates, old date and all. Loosen the tinfoil please.
[SuperSU] vanessaem:
Hello,

First of all this not the place for conspiracy theories. What you're describing seems like a simple issue with the Play Store. Nothing more and nothing less.

This thread will be closed so that you can sort this out. Try cleaning your cache, restarting your phone, etc.

I am just wondering if anyone else has noticed/experienced this.

If I am on a phone call, and want to send an email at the same time (I Love you 3G!) I cannot use the hard keyboard because the numeric keys are active rather than the alphabet keys.

Shift, caps locks, etc. will not let me use the alpha keyboard.

I would love to get this fixed if anyone has any suggestions?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanesh Munde:
Hello all developers, I have a noob question, please guide. I have ZenFone 2 running on stock android 5.0 and it is rooted. Now I have to flash custom roms and mods but also want to update stock Rom to android 6.0 whenever ASUS provide updates. So I have a simple idea as below -

1) Install flashify app.

2) Take backup of stock recovery.

3) Flash CWM.

4) Take nandroid backup.

5) Now I can flash custom roms.

6) When ASUS provide updates, flash nandroid backup.

7) Flash stock recovery through Flashify.

8) Full unroot from supersu.

Thus my phone will be fully stock and I can update stock Rom to android 6.0 .

Will this trick work; please tell. I am eagerly waiting for your replies.

[emoji4] Thank you [emoji4]
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinzNguyen:
you have to unlock bootloader if you want to flash custom rom !!!

if you unlock bootloader with official tools. you cant receive any update from asus with OTA. but you can flash full stock rom with twrp via sideload or edit stock rom zip then install with twrp.

somebody can unlock bootloader without official tools (i dont try) and they can update OTA

srr my english
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanesh Munde:
Thank you very much for the information. Btw, can I make changes to stock Rom without unlocking bootloader and revert back to fully stock phone when OTA comes with the above method ?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
This is probably very noob of me but I'll ask it anyways...... This just dawned on me to back up everything via titanium Backup then use the file to restore on new custom ROMs. Instead if using Google back up to download everytime. Can I presumably download like Pico gapps with virtually nothing, back up all my user and system apps with titanium Backup then restore everything everything on the new rom and I'll have all the apps and system apps from my previous rom?

If I back up user apps and system apps with titanium Backup then restore will my call logs, texts, etc also be installed?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parcou:
Rule #1 as you will see as you get more into this you NEVER restore "system" apps this will create FC - force closures and errors all day long. Only restore user apps and data.

If coming from a Samsung going to a Nexus for example, you would TiBu all your users apps/data on Samsung to restore to Nexus. You do not have to restore the Google backup you can...but more senior people like me setup device as a new device. Google restore does not bring over your user data and settings like TiBu will. TiBu will give you exactly what the app was like on the old device....google will not in majority of cases...for me none.

- TiBu user app/data and no system data

- Setup new device as new and restore TiBu app/data. Can do the Google it you like and then let TiBu overwrite it

You can install the Pico gapps. Let's say you had a new rom without Google Newstand...even if it was not in the gapps your TiBu would restore it just fine with no issues.... But the gapps does add other background google services you need not visible to eye like apps...but the apps can fully come from your backup even if they dont exist on the new device.

No you will not get your call log, etc since you do not restore system info. But there are third party apps that can back that up if that is that important. I use apps like Textra and not device messaging apps so when TiBu restores Textra I get it all back old messages\etc....again you do not want to restore 'red' system apps but find 3rd party apps that backup call log, text (if google app), etc.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
What if it's the same device but different rom. Would restoring system apps also create issues
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parcou:
Still you do not want to do that....you could be dealing with a phone that is the same but the build version of the OS could be different and those systems updates could have different version numbers. So restoring systems adds that are not exact as the previous could result in bad situation.

If you are going from same device to same device, then you can backup...do a TWRP or Nandroid backup which will give you an image backup of exactly what you have with data and system.

If you do a full backup, you could experiment and gamble doing it your way and if it goes back...just restore the backup.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Thanks for the info. I'll just stick with the user apps and back them into a folder. You also recommended textra for texts? So it will just back up like a normal user app and you can keep all your text messages that way?

I've had mine for over 2 months, and it's in mint condition. You learn early on that the thing is a bit of a tank, but still manages to be well-manufactured with a premium feel. I've had a few drops thag were hard to look at, but a spray-adhesive screen protector and a flimsy TPU case bought online have protected the phone from any cracks or scratches.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawrence750:
i watched a drop test on youtube of this phone a while back vs an iphone, and although ymmv compared to the video, it did seem like the S6 was pretty tough, it took dropping the phone from around 10feet high before the glass smashed on back or front! I was very impressed.

I want to also highlight how I've gone without a case for the few months I've had this phone, and there isn't one scratch to be seen! Yes it is a fingerprint magnet, but I seriously thought that the back of the phone would look awful pretty quickly, but it's just pristine!

I am having a very frustrating problem with my tethering. For some reason my phone is picking up on my tethering partially. I have used up my data quota for the month, however I am rooted. I have tryed CM12, CM13, Rooted Stock, and a few other Roms.

My Playstation 4 is recording around 150kbps but many sites load very fast with a few of them as an exception. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fully hide my tethering usage from T-Mobile?
