Hi,

Planning to go to P9 Plus from MAte 8. Is there any EMUI difference? Menus, accessibility,shortcuts, gestures etc? For example dividing the screen to two parts with shortcut. Any EMUI weakness on P9 Plus according to Mate 8.

I'am running Kangvip Slim Rom on Mate 8 now.

Thanks
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] Tokoyo:
I'd call myself "normal user+". My primary use of phone is (just to illustrate what basis I have for an answer).

- Everyday (Exchange for 2 accounts, calls, messages etc)

- Bluetooth streaming music in car

- Mirrorshare Kodi to TV

- Random videos/music every now and then.

If anything I would say that the P9+ responds quicker. The fingerprint scanner is in a league of it's own. I've had it for little over a month now, and not once have it failed or "Please try again". You probably want to be a bit more agressive with setting up power saving features on it. All the tools are in place, just need to adjust it for smart usage, but that is only down to battery. Current usage of batter atm:

- 27% left of battery, 22 hours and 48 min since last recharge

- Hardware usage: 36%, Software Usage: 64% (Skype been pulling most of the power having run in the background)

I can't really give you a better answer than that it feels more responsive, better in the hand, and MY GOD that fingerprint scanner.

Hi again,

Is it a major difference for performance? The extra i5 Co-processor on mate 8? Does it mean too many things between them?

I am very happy with mate 8 except the size. If P9 is slower or has any lags because of it i'm thinking to stay with mate 8.

Mate 8: HUAWEI Kirin 950 (64-bit,16nm FinFET+), Octa-core (4 x 2.3 GHz A72+ 4 x 1.8 GHz A53)

+ i5 co-processor

P9 PLUS: HUAWEI Kirin 955 (64-bit) Octa-core (4x2.5 GHz Cortex-A72 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex-A53)

Thanks.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] sobelixtus:
I've also had Mate 8 and I can say that P9+ is at least as fast as Mate 8. Real life performance is difficult to judge because I had never problems with Mate 8 either.

Only real differences are size, display tech (AMOLED vs IPS LCD) and camera and these all are better in P9+

Battery capacity is only thing which is better in Mate, but P9+ is still very good in battery performance wise.

Just go ahead and make the change. I'm sure you wont be disappointed [emoji4]

Thank you for your feedbacks.

I think it will be very usefull with a custom ROM like Kangvip or Rayglobe.

If there was a Radio FM transmitter it would be the best i think.

I came from redmi note 3 SD650 then p9 (eva-L19) then p9+. I am pleased to spend more money on this beast. Fast, fluid, fingerprint never fails, very good still camera. I'm using chinese version (VIE-AL10) and chinese ROM. And i must say that i'm amazed that p9+ chinese ROM is good and optimized. I got 6+ hours screen on time (better than 4+ hours on p9 eva-L19). I do using chinese ROM on my redmi note 3 but huawei are doing a great job on providing optimized ROM on p9+.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] Pillock:
I came from a Honor 7, meanwhile I got a Galaxy S7 Edge for my work phone - which I can use for personal use too, but I decided to get a P9 Plus to use alongside it.

Firstly, really impressed with the Honor 7. Prior to that I had a G3, and I felt like going into uncharted territory with a relatively unknown (at the time) Chinese brand. In the UK, when I bought it, you simply didn't get anything apart from Samsung/Sony/LG/Nexus/Apple from a phone store. I was very pleased to see an Honor 7 turn up brand new in a secondhand store - presumably someone had purchased it, had it imported and then not liked it or whatever.

So I used the H7 for a while and became a Huawei advocate - meanwhile Three had started stocking them on contract.

Then I got a job with a mobile network and they offered me any device I wanted, free, with free contract. Wow! So I naturally chose the best specs I could get - S7 Edge. What a disappointment! The fingerprint reader is sssllloooowww and unreliable (the H7 was the first phone I'd used with a fingerprint reader, I figured they were all that good!), the curved screen is really frustrating when you're tapping stuff without realising, and the camera is pretty average. This is a £700 phone.... so I decided to get a personal phone too, so I can turn the S7 off at the weekend :)

Lots of trying out stuff, nearly went for a Z5 but my wife has one of those and it seems quite unstable - also only a year in to contract, the battery is pretty poor. Didn't want another Samsung at all, I've previously had a Note 1, an S3 and a Note 10.1" 2014 and all three of them needed repairs where no other handset has ever needed to be sent away. G5 just seems boring, Xperia X looks like a backwards step to the Z5. Then I noticed the P9 which had all the great features of my Honor 7 (fast fingerprint reader in the RIGHT place on the phone, metal chassis) but added NFC for Android Pay (something I've been missing out on since I beta-tested Google Wallet tap-to-pay five years ago!). And then..... well I realised the P9 Plus is actually cheaper than the P9 from this particular network, about £50 less overall. And I loved the AMOLED screen which gives great battery life, so I was sold.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] prismfire:
From Samsung S4 LTE (it was the best Samsung flagship device to me). Wanted P9 plus due to Amoled screen, IR blaster (Samsung not including it anymore) and the IR features it have, Camera, RAM & ROM space, solid and handy build, increased screen size, memory expansion support. Also for the possible software support on flagships.

Been using it for 2+ weeks. Loving the IR blaster, Camera, build, IR blaster, Camera, finger print scanner, battery, sound, screen and the ability to root.

Not going for Samsung as they are moving towards curved screen in their flagships.

Coming from S4

Hello all

Coming from a Samsung galaxy S4 boot looper. Before i had good a S2 but this S4 brought me some big boot loop crashes and always at the worst moments.

Lot of time lost to bring it back to run.

Hope this phone will be better. Readed most of good things. I have the chinese VIE L29 brand with rom C636B130.

P9 plus:

Features

Oneplus 3:

Dash charging (I really feel this is very important for every phone)

Performance

Faster updates (twice a month/ community build)

Overall I really like this two phones, but I think P9 plus is the best for me as I am a regular user.

But OP3 is the best when it comes to gaming.

Coming from S5, much faster, much better audio, much better battery and much better screen. And it was a nice price, couldn't go wrong. Only lemon should be the weak gpu, but I don't like mobile games so for me it's a non issue. Software was easy enough modding to look/behave like a Google Pixel XL minus assistant(not available in my country anyway) without having to root, very nice :)
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] jnakoda:
Coming from the Galaxy S4 Zoom. I've spend my entire first income for this beautiful VIE-L29 hardware! For me, I really love this phone mainly because of the following reason:

- Kirin 955 SoC (and its A72 CPU and 4GB DDR4 RAM). I often use this phone as a linux desktop for software and web development (by hooking it to my Orange Pi or my old notebook, and then run the X window system over TCP/IP using USB tethering). It amazed me that the performance matches or even surpasses those ULV intel core i3s and smokes every bay trail atoms i've known). Thanks to meefik's linux deploy for making this possible!

- excellent battery life and fast charging

- USB Type-C connector

- The dual IMX286 camera. The result is stunning compared to my cousin's iPhone 6s. The bokeh effect is a nice feature to have too.

- easily rootable without voiding the warranty (Thanks XDA!)

- Dual SIM + global LTE band (in my country, there are 4 different LTE bands. In small towns in my country, not all those 4 bands are available. If I use a phone that doesn't have 20 LTE bands, such as P9 VIE-L19, then I can't use LTE when I live in those small towns).

- iPad-like loudspeaker quality.

For me the only shortcomings of this device is the weak GPU, albeit I don't use it much because I almost never play games, no DisplayPort Alt mode for the USB Type-C and no USB SS.

[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] han.xda:
Came from Xiaomi mi note pro.

Did not plan to get this phone but Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Then thought S7 is everywhere and so boring now, and always liked the smaller P9's design.

Then found this bigger brother, ticks all the boxes, beautiful piece of art, love so much the black strap at the back on top of the camera. And you just don't see people using this phone on the street - exactly what I wanted.

Main concern was the camera - the leica thing is more of a marketing promotion than a technology breakthrough, but you know, after watching almost all YouTube reviews I pulled the trigger, the camera is not the best, but does do some amazing jobs when settings and conditions are right.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] zukito:
Came from a Xperia Z3 and a Zenfone 2, Sony was such a great phone but has a overheat and los charge problem, so i won an auction for Zenfone so i tried it for a couple of months, was very good but didnt has 4G-lte on my country so i had to sell it, now between P9 and Plus, of course Plus!
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] Mahao:
Same, wanted to get Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but the price is a bit too high for me. Huawei P9 Plus gives just the same thing, if not better, at a lower price.

I was using Redmi Note 2 for two years before switching to Huawei P9 Plus. I have never ever considered this phone, albeit listening about it over and over again on the radio. I just casually visited the mobile shop and the sales person just opened my eyes to the many great things of Huawei P9 Plus.

Loving it so far, but the battery hasn't been as good as expected and the rapid charge isn't as fast too. Perhaps the many many functions of this phone is eating up the battery. If I were to turn off the syncing, 4G and GPS the phone will not perform to its full potential. But generally all is well. Smooth, multi-functional, great camera!

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noidea24:
Curious question.

I like owning Nexus devices, even if I don't need them. I see Google has an offer with project fi right now "A new way to say hello to project fi".

Pretty much get a Nexus 5x for $199 when activating a project fi account.

Could I get this, toss the project fi sim card to the side, and use this 5x on Verizon networks?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpj52190:
Yes you could do exactly that... the only caveat is you have to first activate project fi on nexus 5x first to get the $150 off. If you just throw the sim card without activating you won't get the discount.

So what did is buy the deal. activated (cost me $20, for 1 month fi service) , took the fi sim card and used my atnt .. all good for $199+ 20(FI service 1st month) + tax = much better deal
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highspeedfelon:
You could always just give google fi a try for a month and see how it works for you. Fi switches between Sprint and Tmobile networks plus has wifi calling. I am not exactly sure you would be able to activate the phone on verzion because at one time they were weird about the phones they allowed on their network.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopesrequiem:
I did exactly that. But I also have an activated nano sim ready from my other Verizon phone so didn't have to activate anything. Just popped my sim in after playing around with fi for a couple days
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noidea24:
Update

ended up just transferring to project fi completely with my nexus 5x. long story short, this phone suck. LG's ****ty cpu throttling. every custom rom sucks with project fi.

i find myself using my nexus 6 more than the 5x now, mostly because of the shi ty project fi support on custom roms
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WilliamTechie522:
Hello folks. thank you in advance.

I'm 99.9% sure my phone is done. I checked the forums and found similar issues - but nothing exactly like mine. after five day here is what happened, and my troubleshooting steps.

the issue started five days ago. my phone was plugged into my HTC wall charger, which was plugged into a power bar connected to the wall. I made dinner, ate, and came to get my phone.

the lights under the back and home buttons were lit up, but the screen was not. I pressed the unlock button

nothing happened.

I did it again

nothing.

seeing no other alternative I held down the power button until the lights flashed and the phone should have rebooted - instead, it shut off and never turned back on.

I pressed the power button. tried the volume down + power to access the bootloader for an FDR. but the phone still wouldn't power on.

I figured something was up with the battery. I plugged it in for a few minutes but the charging light never came on - it never even blinked.

so I charged it overnight.

the next day, the same thing.

no power, no charging no blinking.

I tried the wall charger, I tried my PC.

that was when I got a ray of hope - my laptop made the USB-connected jingle when I plugged the phone in. so I let if charge, but there was no light

this was when I turned to the forums.

I tried resetting the charging logic - charge for 10 min, unplug, hold down vol+ vol- and power for five minutes

five minutes and three very sore fingers later nothing happened. I tried the same thing holding the proximity sensor under a bright light (super blackout flashlight).

after this, I resigned myself to plugging the phone in for four days. it has been plugged into the wall charger since Tuesday. no red blink, not green light and still not powering on.

i'll also note that when the phone is plugged into a PC it show up in the device manager under the section "ports (com & LPT)" and is called "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)".

i have also tried to boot the phone manually the ADB but it just says device not connected.

thank you in advane!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sithhy™:
From what I know, if a phone is called Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) (or anything with he first three words), then it has a hardbrick or is (sadly) dead... I can't help you, because I don't know how... I never had such a problem [emoji52]
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Your phone can go in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode for 2 reasons:

Flashed an incompatible firmware ---> Recoverable

Hardware failure ----> Phone is dead (or will most likely need a new motherboard)

Since it went in this mode itself, then its #2.

Hi, I can't seem to get rid of cyanogenmod recovery.

I want to flash twrp after I installed official cm12.1 build, I think it was 20160405.

And it doesnt let me, I've done this couple of times before, now I fail.

Tried it via the twrp app, gives me error.

tried it via commandline, it transfers twrp.img to .../fotakernel and nothing happens, still old recovery.

tried flashing xzdualrecovery from pc, still no luck.

anybody have any ideas what i might be wrong? Maybe I'm just missing something and I'll say "Oooooooh, that!" later.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonboots:
Hello all,

I've read through just about every thread on modifying the Nexus 5x, all the guides, etc. Some of what I'd like to do will combine elements of those, so I want to create a repeatable process for myself that will allow the flexibility and stability I'm looking for, and wanted to run it past some of the good minds here.

Basic info: My Nexus 5x has its bootloader locked and is unrooted. I have very basic adb knowledge, enough to download and sideload the OTAs, and am on the latest build.

What I'm looking for: To unlock the bootloader, apply systemless root, continue to remain on a stock ROM with a custom kernel (likely ElementalX to apply one of the profiles in the megathread on this forum), system wide ad blocking, and keep Android Pay (if all of these things are possible, together).

Here's what I believe I need to do:

Execute the OEM unlock (I know this will clear data on my device)

Use something like Nexus Root Toolkit to root.

Use NRT to flash a custom recovery through fastboot, then flash the custom kernel through that.

Install TiBu, EX Kernel Manager, etc.

Install AdAway (is Xposed needed, thus meaning I have to give up Android Pay?)

When the new binaries come out at the monthly security updates:

Use fastboot to flash all (eliminating the -w to not wipe all data), re-root using NRT, flash the ElementalX kernel again to stay on latest Stock build with the custom kernel.

I just want to make sure I do nothing stupid to brick my device, and if I'm following multiple "guides" at once I just want some eyes to take a look at this and let me know if I'm on the right track. Thank you in advance!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
Adaway has a systemless mode. You can find it here at xda.

You can install OTA's with chainfire's flashfire.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonboots:
Does Flashfire re-root or must that all be done manually?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
It reroots for you when it updates the OTA.

I don't run stock so im not sure the procedure.

Google or another user maybe able to help you when the time comes.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metpage:
IMO you really don't need NRT to root, i would take the time to learn adb/fastboot and use those instead of tool kits. It's super easy to use.

-Install proper ADB/Fastboot drivers

-open command prompt, type adb devices to ensure your phone can be seen

-if it does, then type adb reboot bootloader

-in bootloader type fastboot oem unlock (it will wipe your device)

If you want to stay stock but rooted, just flash the factory image, then flash a custom recovery, find the latest superuser app here in XDA and push it to a folder on your phone and flash it via recovery and you now have root

the problem with tool kits is you don't know where in the process it goes wrong if something does go wrong. I like manually flashing so i can tell where in the process if fails if needed.
