[Mate 8 General] icy20:
Thanx for your reply. I see... As far as the google contacts sync is concerned, I tried creating a GoogleContactsSyncAdapter folder in the system/app folder and copying the apk in there but after the reboot still no sync... Am I doing something wrong? (I did a workaround here as well, i restored the contacts from a csv file but now i don't get cloud backup)

When flashing future updates do we use the TWRP in order to flash the stock roms? I haven't tried that's why I ask. I usually do a full wipe when I flash updates. About the play store i gave it full access, but before that i did a workaround and backed up the prog from another device and restored it to mate8... I will probably see on the next update of the app.
[Mate 8 General] nickchenyj:
Just install GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk like a normal app.
[Mate 8 General] icy20:
I got it to work... I am not sure what was the reason... I uninstalled it completely and then installed the latest app I saw online and gave permissions and rebooted and the apps are there :) Thank you all.

The problems fixed. Can someone please answer to the first q about how to flash latest versions since I am rooted-twrp? Are the versions I find in the android development flashable by TWRP? I mean the untouched versions not the custom roms. I am happy with the performance of the stock rom.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
some are flashable via twrp, others through the stock huawei erecovery, others again are flashable via fastboot. gotta check the package contents and file types...
[Mate 8 General] icy20:
Guys how often does contacts sync takes place? I put a contact yesterday at about 18:00 and it doesn't show up at the gmail contacts. Probably due to the fact that if I go to google account it says it synced last yesterday at about 17:15. I know that I can force sync it but I don't want to have to do that every time I add a contact.

I also have the AL10 and I didn't unlock and rooted my phone and didn't receive the B165 rom yet either. My latest rom is still B156.

Hello everybody.

I recently purchased a Chinese Mate 8.

While the Play Store and Google Services were up and running when I received it, contacts where not syncing.

I download GoogleContactsAppSync and solved that BUT I can't sort them by surname, how am I supposed to do that?

Please help, I can't get my head around that!

Thank you

Same here with Sygic. My phone is a chinese one, model NXT-AL10, no root, bootloader locked.

When Sygic is loaded, playstore is force-closed. Sygic can be loaded via Amazon appstore but the "restore"-function does not work.

Moreover, OsmAnd+ navigation does not work properly. It can be opened but no map is shown.

Anyone uses Sygic and OsmAnd+ with Huawei Mate 8 chinese successfully? Should we contact Huawei?
[Mate 8 General] Pfeffernuss:
Sygic works fine here on an AL10 Mate 8, but I am running an L29 rom though... :good:
[Mate 8 General] icy20:
Go to google play at apps and give all the permissions. I think when I had chinese rom that fixed it...

Now I want to say, I've done this before but can't remember where I found it. I want to see who texts me when it comes in. IE in the notification bar and drop down menu. I also had it showing the message there also. Had to reset and reload my rom and now can't remember how I did it... I'm pretty sure I grabbed another texting app from a rom and sideloaded it into mine... I'm on dk7. 1 so it's not that(or I can't find the setting for it)

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RisingPhoenixMD85:
Hello all,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus (SM-G901F) and after some research I wanted to install TWRP and CM 13, I downloaded G901F_TWRP_v2.8.5.0.tar from here because I thought that was the one I needed to flash but Odin says "Can't open the specified line. (Line 2012) I noticed that TWRP 3.0 is also released so don't know which one to pick which works and also don't know which CM 13 to pick to install, I'm not really good at these things so I'm looking for someone who can help me through everything step by step so I have it running smoothly and don't mess up or brick my phone, at the moment I have rooted my phone and am using the stock firmware from Samsung itself. Hopefully someone can help me with this?

Thank you in advance

Hello everyone,

Is there someone around there who successfully played a video with a refresh rate automatically switched to 24p ?

On my side unable to do that either with Kodi or other players. It is a pitty and makes the product useless as a media server...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshua3109:
Hey XDA I have rooted and installed custom roms on various android devices in the past, and am now working on my Note 4.

I have it rooted and TWRP installed , but am now unsure if I need to flash a different modem or bootloader. I understand that the Canadian variant uses the T-Mobile Roms.

I am looking to install CMRemix http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/development/rom-cmremix-rom-v2-5-12-23-14-t2981479 which is a T-Mobile Rom.

Will I simply download and flash it or do I need to do extra work first?

Thank you, and I apologize for posting this question. I was slowly going crazy after searching the forum for these things to no avail!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshua3109:
I figured it out. I checked by bootloader and it was up to date. I was having issues with Odin, but after reconnecting the USB cable 6 different times it finally picked up my phone in Downloading mode!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpowell.ca:
No worries. It seems that the N910W8 is basically the same hardware as the N910T3.

In the same way the Note 3 T-Mobile was the same as the Note 3 Canadian variant.

No need to worry about modems assuming yours is up to date.

Although, I must admit that while CM Roms tend to have interesting features, they lack support for some of the built-in hardware, and the battery life has been inferior in my own experience.

You should check out Temasek's CM versions. :)

Have fun
[Remix OS for PC] h_amak:
I have tried Remix OS 32bit and 64bit versions on my Dell XPS 12 laptop with intel core i7 processor and 8 GB of memory

I have noticed that the cpu fan kept working all the time and so much heat is coming out of the laptop.

I used a CPU monitoring software from play store and it showed that the system UI process is constantly consuming 25% of the processor all the time, I tested the 32bit on a very old netbook and the same fan noise and processor state at 25% all the time.

Any suggestions please ?

Only thing I know of and have done is disable turbo on my surface pro 2.....

Have added "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo" line to system/etc/init.sh

BLUETOOTH TURNED OFF

-Phone apk crash after rebooting the device, nothing serious, just click OK and that's all. - FIXED

-Auto Brightness seems to be not working at the moment - FIXED

-Proximity sensor is not working in the phone app, can't find a solution, if anybody fixes it I will be grateful to get my hands on the fix - FIXED

-Brightness resets to max after reboot no matter if it's set to the lowest, just adjust it again and it will be back to your desired setting. - FIXED

If you find any other bugs please report them and I will try to fix them

-Greenify auto hibernation fix http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65475177&postcount=179

Make sure to turn off smart network optimization for Greenify also.

-Use kernel adiutor from playstore to set read ahead to 1024 instead of 512 for better performance.

-DO NOT set the governor to on-demand because doing so will cause random reboots.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] maniwaraich:
Guys plz don't get me wrong

Plz don't get me wrong about closing the thread but at the same time plz explain what's the point of having a Rom on which you have 30% battery when you go to bed and in morning your Alarm doesn't sound coz your phone did not go to deep sleep and have eaten all battery. So if Alarm doesnt sound then you are in all sorts of trouble. and all this coz you had a deep sleep but your phone didn't.

Just answer this and i will accept my post to be hammered down. And remember Alarm not sounding is one thing, imagine situations where in emergency you need to dial and can't coz your battery is dead and God forbid this may get you dead too.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kornelius1982:
No one is insisting you to use this rom, there are plenty of choice nearby ;)

I was thinking to move to stock again, but beauty of this rom is making me stay here and wait for the fix.

Every user should acknowledge that this is XDA forum and there may be bugs, but that`s how it works.

to avoid overnight battery drain, just plug it to your charger. mine eats 20% of battery in ~9hrs without data/WiFi connection and there`s only one way to fix it - hope and wait :)

I will port older Phronesis version which is based on 5.0 and will work on arter kernel so no bluesleep issue there.

I will also port Phronesis 6.1 which will be faster and have more stuff added but of course bluesleep bug will be there.
