[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
Has anyone found a way to resolve / or found a workaround for the 'double-tap' bug in P8 lite ?

It is quite quickly reproduceable when you use any keyboard (Google Keyboard, Huawei Swype, Swype, Hackers Keyboard, Blackberry Keyboard, Go Keyboard, etc) to type a message and try to do it quickly. In this case - if you are writing a lot (business e-mails, text messages, etc) - the screen is starting to be a nightmare. I was able to reproduce the problem on my P8 Lite, my fiancees P8 Lite, P8 Lite's of few of my friends and various P8 Lite devices I was able to find in any of the stores in Krakow (PL) (Saturn, X-Kom, Media Expert)...

NOTE: If you are happy user that is NOT typing letters by tapping the letters on keyboard but using sliding/swiping - please don't reply to my post - as this is quite obvious that it IS working this way but some people would like to TYPE instead of SWIPE...

NOTE2: The problem is also NOT with the "protector screen" or gloves mode, etc (these settings, tools do not affect the bug in any way - it is all the time still present).

NOTE3: As far as I can see, the problem appears on all P8 Lite devices I had in hand regardless of the software version and place it came from... I hoped that since the upgrade to 6.0 problem would be resolved but it is not (guys from Huawei technical support claimed over the phone that this issue should have been resolved with B170 update, then they claimed that they're sorry it's not and it will be with 6.0 but... it seems it is still present and can be considered as widely existing device bug).

NOTE4: Since this concerns ALL keyboards my guess is that the problem is with the digitizer or the software which is controlling it (kernel modules?) or other screen-related issue.

EDIT: 10.04.2016 and 27.04.2016 and 12.05.2016

The firmware bug IS FIXED in B190 or later firmware of 5.X android line and B560 or later firmware of 6.X line
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItalianWolf:
Sorry but the only workaround it's swipe or buy another smartphone.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konopla4:
I had this problem, some said it was because of the screen, some said the screen protector... Or the key vibration.

A month ago, i accidently deleted my android while flashing a program.... And i had no backup...

I re-flahed the firmware with all updates, and I dont have double tap problem any more :)
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkonect:
Never seen this trouble since I have the p8 lite (I have two p8 lite ).

I always use swiftkey beta and never use swipe. (All the keyboard is too small for my bigs fingers)

But I'm sure it's not related to the kernel.

Many guy's said this trouble was fixed on the B190.

Make a logcat is the only way to find what's happen and it's really easy.

If you don't know how to logcat you can find how to on xda and few apps available on the playstore works fine .
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olrak:
How can i reproduce the problem, i tried it on my phone but no problem.

What do you need to git the problem?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebasty:
You can solve the problem flashing C432B190 (dual-sim) firmware. You will find here posts for any help on downloading and flashing.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
[MENTION=5860277]ItalianWolf[/MENTION]

I hope there is another way :) I don't want to get back to my old (but solid) Samsung Ace2 (too little ram ;) or to buy another one (the specs of P8 Lite are quite good and it is hard to find anything better for this price).

[MENTION=7248206]konopla4[/MENTION]

I reflashed firmware couple of times and ended up with the same problem. Currently I have european EMUI 4.0 (Android 6.0).

[MENTION=6212071]dkonect[/MENTION]

I don't think that logcat will actually help here but worth trying anyway to get some more details (if there would be any). Once I have more free time to play with the stuff will post the logcat as well (unless I will do downgrade and it would fix the problem;).

[MENTION=1900297]olrak[/MENTION]

Just try to write something quickly (turning on or off the dictionary is not affecting this - so just type quickly any long message / string in messaging, FB messenger, notepad, anywhere. But you need to be kind of quick :) Typing single letter per second is not enough.

[MENTION=7246554]sebasty[/MENTION]

Thanks - you're the second person who points me to this firmware - I think I'll go with the downgrade to B190 first as this is the only firmware I haven't tried yet (unless the update to Marshmallow for EU would be released sooner that would fix the issue).
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
Okay, tested and confirmed. So far I do not have any issues with "double tap" on B190 (hoorraay!). Thanks again [MENTION=7246554]sebasty[/MENTION]

Also I can confirm that issue exists on all firmwares pre-B190 and Beta of EMUI 4.0 (B524 for EU)
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebasty:
Yes indeed, all other firmwares have this problem, even both beta tests of MM and the China version of MM.

I've tested all. Glad you solved it :)
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letsego:
I have version B535 and never got this bug, im using Swiftkey but type as always!
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toncek333:
I am using the B170 firmware and I never had this problem.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
As I wrote previously:

1) You need to be on firmware older than B190 (I have also tested on B170 and problem is 100% reproduceable)

2) Problem also appears on EU Marshmallow (I haven't tested on China one)

3) For sure it appears on EVERY SINGLE P8Lite on polish market unbranded by default and branded by play and t-mobile (I did not test the orange branded phones).

4) You need to type really fast in order to reproduce the problem (if you are quite slow when typing on keyboard or you use swype, etc - you will probably hardly ever see the issue).

If this works for you on different firmware - good for you - but then - please also post other details like if the phone is branded, rooted, additional software installed etc, as the above issue is confirmed by Huawei as the bug with all firmwares (pre B190) so far. ( [MENTION=3762302]Letsego[/MENTION] [MENTION=4222101]toncek333[/MENTION])

If this does not work for you on different firmware - you can be more or less sure that after the update to B190 it should get resolved.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empy16:
I'm pretty sure it's related to the screen sensitivity and "touch radius".

Basically, what happens: when you type quickly, it registers a few presses (finger on, and finger off)

From what I have tried:

Enabling "Glove Mode" makes it worse. (screen sensitivity)

Adding a thick glass screen protector makes it better. (still, screen sensitivity)

Changing ROMs, keyboards, etc. doesn't help. (screen sensitivity)

I think it would be possible to fix it by increasing the radius of the touch register (you would need a more firm touch to click anything on the screen). This should be doable with some software coding.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
As I wrote before. Bug is fixed in B190 firmware.

Huawei also confirmed that the bug exists in all previous firmware. It also exists in 6.0 BETA.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empy16:
It's not a software bug. It's a hardware bug that can be fixed with software.

Maybe they've done just that (increased the touch diameter) to fix it.

What we need is to have a good look at the touch/screen/etc. code and find what's been changed.

Unfortunately I'm just not competent enough to do that.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
No offence implied but how you can be so sure that this is a hardware issue since you are "not competent enough" to review the code change and know what was the real problem about? (You also are not able to get the source code for review as it is not available for public).

The fact is that it has been fixed with B190. Period.

I hope Huawei will apply the fix to upcoming EMUI 4.0 firmware as well.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empy16:
I might not be competent, but I have a brain. You can reproduce the bug in the recovery.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
...ok and what is your conclusion? What recovery you are reffering to? Which firmware are you reffering to?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
when the OTA arrives, can I go back to my stock firmware? and I'd like to keep my warranty too. and also, my phone is not a dual sim variant.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
The answer to "when the OTA arrives" is more country specific i.e. I did not see B190 OTA in Poland, but I used local update.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koxyman88:
on b525 problem is still there!
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
Please see my first post - beta also has the bug.

Anyway - Huawei started to roll-out 6.0 now ( http://xdaforums.com/p8lite/general/p8-liteopen-marketspainb550-android-6-0-t3358189 ) - let's hope it also has the fix for double-tap issue.

Edit: Just flashed B550 (official Android 6.0) - the double tap issue came back... ;/ we need to wait for the fix for Marshmallow now.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koxyman88:
Thanx for this share my friend, but I think this update dont work for b525
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
hey dude, if I flash a double sim firmware to my singe-sim phone, will it brick? also I think I need to root my phone, unlock bootloader and change my region to do that I guess. mirite?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
I don't know honestly as I have already dual-sim firmware.

If you just want to update firmware - root is not required, in case changing from single-sim to dual-sim - probably it is also not required.

As for the region - it depends what you are planning to do - and where are you from. If you are in europe - you may flash either german or spanish firmware without problems (at least I did not have any problems with flashing these). If you are from outside of EU - I am not quite sure if you need to change the region or not.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vika__:
Flashed B190 to B550 and Double tap issue came back. Does anyone know is there maybe some patches what we could install trough TWRP?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
I am not aware of any at the moment :/ And that is why I made rollback to B190.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pensionaru:
Any solutions to this problem? Or the B190 update is the only solution viable? No MM update that doesnt have the bug yet? It would be really nice, because the MM update has better autonomy, is smoother than L versions.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfensg:
Recently the B560 update (MM based) has been released and it also has this bug fixed.

you can flash ANY huawei p8 lite firmware on a huawei p8 lite

means, you can flash android 5.0.1 build B190(the bug is fixed there)

or you can flash android 6.0 build B534 and above, the bug is fixed there aswell...

search for carbontesla on google, you should get all the files there
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amageek:
If you don't understand these things, then it is better to ask someone (in person) to help you flash these firmwares... Or you can go to Huawei's Customer Service Centre at your region and ask them..

if failed to flash? well... your phone is then called "a brick"

it happens when your phone can't boot.

the issue will remain untill you fix the problem, by sucessfulyl flash the firmware

Hi

Just purchased a Kaiser and loving it!

I am new to windows mobile and trying to SSH into one of my work servers.

I have purchased PocketTY and copied my SSH2 key on to my device. I have setup a VPN in the connections settings.

How on earth do I make PocketTY connect via 3G and dial my VPN to access the server? I cannot find any docs this at all. Do I need a VPN client and if so which one should I get.

Thanks

Try PocketPutty, works a treat for me and it's free........
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanza:
I think that it depends on what type of vpn you're using. Me for example I use Open VPN and therefore I had to use openvpn client on my kaiser (and I'm very happy that there is one). I also think that in your case is the vpn that isn't working properly yet. Let me know what vpn link do you have and I'll try to help you
[HTC One S] OporKot:
Soft-bricked HTC One S. Where to find help with trying to recover it?
[HTC One S] OporKot:
Hello.

How it happened

I rooted my HTC One S, then flashed CyanogenMod on it. Used it for a few months, very happy with it. Then I tried to update - automatically, not manually (that was mistake number 1). The phone was then stuck in a bootloop into recovery. (Off>Recovery>Off>Recovery). I didnt know what to do, so I pressed 'Reset phone', or something like that. Since then, the problem has gotten much worse. Now there's a different bootloop: Off>HTC opening screen. That's it. Im desperately trying to access recovery mode, to flash a new ROM to fix the situation.

What did I try

1. Power + VolumeDown does nothing.

2. Installed the HTC One S toolkit. When pressing 'boot into recovery', it says 'device not found'.

3. Tried to boot into recovery from ABD tools, but it says device not found. I tried putting screenshots here, but XDA forum new user limitation doesnt let me. Anyway, if you add this to the imgur url, youll see the screenshots (sorry about this inconvenienace):

/SblBm3M

/6HEvZDk

TL;DR

Phone is stuck in a bootloop. Cant access recovery. Is there any way to fix this situation?

Thank you very much in advance for your time to help me out.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] burnface:
Yeah, that's alright though, if it's similar to the way my old MotoX did temp root. Was easy enough to redo once a week when I rebooted, for what I need anyway. I'd pay the $25 anyway, but I get my phone swapped out every 1-3 months anyway, so definitely wouldn't be worth.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] blacksn:
You can, learn assembler, c++, read about trustzone exploit, write code, than unlock bootloader and root for free!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Blame Verizon. Of all the Motorola Quarks released (Verzion Droid Turbo XT1254, U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 -- identical to Droid Turbo, even the same bands/Moto Turbo XT1225 and Moto Maxx XT1225) Verizon demanded Motorola lock down their phone's bootloader. All the other Quarks can be unlocked for free, through Motorlola website.

But anyone who buys Verizon phones knows that, or should know that.

Be thankful devs bypassed Verizon's stupidity.

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Sunshine is what costs money. I think you meant another method?

You pay for Sunshine to unlock the bootloader, then install real root and TWRP.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Coronado is dead:
Maybe he meant kingroot? And by revert, OP, we mean before a reboot even. Kingroot only kept it for like 15 minutes for me (before we had moforoot). Mofo was what, $10? But that root did not allow system writing, so a lot of things people use root for would not work or stick.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] iiWoodstocK:
FYI, you can use Sunshine for temproot. Once Sunshine left beta for the Droid Turbo it was able to do the temproot on its own. No need for KingRoot
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] aeeon:
What if I want to configure Tasker with root permissions ? Can I configure it while in temproot and then scripts will still execute when unrooted ? Same to uninstall Verizon bloatware with a root unistaller for example.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Averell:
My home button is not working well. Can I use this temproot to enable onscreen navigation keys?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Yes, but it still costs money. The op was looking for FREE root. That's why discussing Sunshine for even temp root for an answer to his question doesn't make any sense. That's all I was pointing out. I assumed the other person meant some other free temp root method and was just confused.

Agreed in your case, if you don't want freedom for your work phone. It's not even really your phone (belongs to your employer), so you have no financial or emotional investment in it. Root would give you ability to block ads and such, which for me would be enough for me... ;) But it's your decision.

Your situation is different from others who buy a $600 phone, KNEW it was locked down by Verizon, had no problems with that and still bought it... Then a year later complained incessantly because devs finally unlocked the phone and charged $25 to compensate a little for time (countless hours) and money spent (buying and bricking phones) to create the bootloader unlock method. They kept peppering the forum asking for free root methods or insulting the devs who supplied the solution. It's like "Dude, how much did you pay for your phone? Can't you support the devs a little who are making it better?" No one was forcing them to buy Sunshine. Their phone was STILL going to work just like it had for the entire previous year, which they were completely happy with! Only when a paid solution appeared did they get cranky. Focus your outrage on Verizon, who created the situation -- not the devs who supplied the solution! Very strange. :rolleyes:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] iiWoodstocK:
Temp root via Sunshine is in fact free. It's the same premise as KingRoot. Unlocking the bootloader via Sunshine is $25.

Now of course temp root with write protection enabled severely limits the amount of root things that can be performed, possibly to the point temp root becomes useless. I don't know.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Sorry, I've never had to use sunshine. Everyone kept talking about $25 and complaining. Thought it was a totally paid app. Didn't realize there was a free aspect.

But yeah, temp root won't do much by itself, unless you are using it as a step to do something else.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dark_prince:
I had Moto Droid Maxx earlier which I could just root to enough level to block ads/go adfree. This can't be possible with Turbo so I guess I'll quit Turbo now and look for better options. Every LG G3 variant has stupid battery issue of bootlooping the phone if battery gets older than 4 months so that's out of question either. Looks like I'm gonna look for the crappy Snapdragon 6xx or 4xx phones which give close to no entertaining experience.

why? Buying a new phone costs way more than $25 for root and unlocked bootloader which gives you way more freedom and enjoyment than a snapdragon 6** or 4** device
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dark_prince:
I totally agree with you on snapdragon 6xx/4xx vs 8xx point. My problem is sunshine license isn't available to third world country like Pakistan. Due to that reason, Moto Droid Turbo becomes costly combined with Qualcomm Quick Charge Adapter + Sunshine + Phone, the price gets jacked up so high that it becomes equivalent to HTC One M9. I'm looking for an 8xx phone other than LG G3/G2 (due to refurbish swarm in local market) and even a Nexus 6 is priced higher than LG G4 in here. I am a custom rom lover from day-one and can't live a single minute with bloatware as much as verizon puts into their phones. :(
