[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] Shadoe_Lance:
I guess that would make sense, although I havent read that myself and I looked at every review I could find to see if it was true to my hypothesis of it. Not sure why they would use only the color lens in auto mode when the bulk of your photos are taken there. I know when I covered the monochrome sensor in auto mode it made no difference. Ill have to try in manual to see what it does.

UPDATE

After performing several unscientific test with my P9 taking several pictures in both automatic and manual mode both uncovering both lenses and covering just the monochrome and comparing the uncovered to covered photos, I have determined the monochrome lens does absolutely nothing unless actually capturing in monochrome mode. Very dissapointed. The phone is being put up for sale. Since my P9 plus is a 128GB Chinese version and I live in the US I am guessing there wont be any help and only denials with Huawei cust service. I will just have to switch back to my Mate 8 which takes better pictures. Very dissapointed in Huawei on what I thought would be better camera tech in a smartphone.

Has anyone found problems downloading large games from the Google store ? It seems for me that if it's over 150MB then the download will get up to 97% or more, but then the Play app crashes and nothing gets installed no matter how many times I retry, or if I get smaller programs successfully in between larger attempts.

Smaller apps are ok, and apps that then download large assets are ok (have had one game grab 3.5GB of assets first time with no problems).

All over WiFi I should add - don't have that much data ;)

I had something similar with large apps and cured it by allowing Play store full access in the app settings / permissions. I think it was restricting the allowed memory it could use and then crapping out. I am sure someone will be able to give some confirmation to this but may be this note will be enough to get you downloading...

Does anyone know how to make voice assistant speak English on the vie-al10? And get rid of the Chinese characters?
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] angelosabatini:
Thanks for that. But I would like to know from inside the phone itself, where there is the option to activate and use the different frequencies, what is available. As I said, I found different specifications on different websites and even the Huawei website does not list the VIE-AL10 . I want to make sure that I will be able to use it in the USA and in Europe as well .

Thanks .

If you know how to do it tell me and I'll find out :)
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] minimal-too:
Awesome!

Just enabling Full Access wasn't enough for me, but going into Apps->Play Store and wiping the data, clearing the cache, adding in all permissions and then trusting the App sorted it all out.

I've got Google contacts to sync, but through Huawei's contact app.unfortunately I didn't document exactly how I did it, but I know I downloaded Google's contact sync apk, installed it, took care of permissions (trusted app) and added the Google account via Huawei's contact app.

I'm using Nova Launcher and basically have all Google functions working - though I've not tried to launch Google Now via voice.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] angelosabatini:
Are not there any settings to let you see the network bands ?

I am not sure, but some phones have codes that you can dial in to go in settings menus that you would not normally see using the setting menu in the app drawer. But I do not know about the Huawei yet. I will try to find it out.

You have to go to permissions and give full permissions to both contacts and calendar sync. This was how I got it sorted out eventually.

After I used it to uninstall xposed, my sd card was damaged and I had to format it in oder to use it again!

So I recommend you to take you're sd card out of the phone when you use the zip.

If this already happened to you, I can recommend you EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to get you're data back.

It takes some time but you can recover 80-100% of you're data.

Follow the instructions in this? page PROPERLY.

PS: in point 4 , follow the instructions for TWRP(I mean click "view instructions for TWRP recovery" in fourth point and follow it)

And, don't get frightened by what they have written. Nothing will happen. Just do it PROPERLY.

EDIT : Since you are currently on non-oxygenOS ROM((ie, custom ROM), and hence,NOT updating) , you SHOULD perform a CLEAN flash.

Good luck! Happy flashing?!

Edit 1: DO NOT CREATE THREADS FOR SIMPLE QUESTIONS. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HTCM8Kaber:
I had bricked my HTC One M8 while trying to root it and had a very difficult time restoring the OS. After trying numerous things to fix the phone I had almost went out and bought a new phone. Lucky for me the deposit was more than what I could afford for which reason I decided to continue searching for a way to restore the phone online. I've created this thread in an effort to help someone who is in the same position as I had been.

I learned that RUU files were available at HTC's website for all carriers except for Verizon. HTC's website advises that your phone can be restored via Verizon Repair which is accessible within HTC Sync Manager. This didn't work for me. I'd hit the repair button and received a message that there are no downloads available.

The easiest solution is to follow this link: droidviews.com/restore-verizon-htc-one-m8-to-stock-with-android-5-0-1-lollipop-ruufuu

There are two methods 1) involves the use of a RUU file. This method is a little more difficult. The problem I had with this method is that I'd copy the file to my phone using windows and then reboot into TWRP and the file wouldn't be visible. This is also more difficult because you have to flash your phone with an image for TWRP. I eventually figured this method out. I had to learn how to use the sideload command within TWRP. You also have to learn the fasboot command. The easy way to restore your phone is to use the FUU file as this only requires that you reboot into fastboot mode by pushing the power button while holding the volume button down after which you then click on fastboot. You should see a notification that says fastboot USB at which time you can run double click the FUU file. If the FUU program doesn't recognize your phone you may have to download and install adb and fastboot drivers.

After I restored my phone using the FUU utility I later learned of a number of other methods that would have worked as well. All the methods however require that you have TWRP installed and that you know how to use the adb Sideload dos command. There are many tutorials explaining how to use this command. If your phone is bricked and you can't get into the OS then you'll have to use the DOS command to flash the TWRP image file. There are a number of sites that have ROMS for the HTC M8. When you sideload the file the ROMS automatically self install.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
No offense here, as I'm glad your device is up and running, however the title needs to be fixed.

You weren't "bricked". You were in a simple bootloop of the OS...

You simply flashed an RUU and put the phone back to stock, basically. Next step would have been to set to S-ON and then you're back to 100% stock.

You could have flashed TWRP, put a ROM on the device and flashed that.

If your device never got wiped, and you had a nandroid on it, you coulda installed TWRP and restored your nandroid.

Point is, a brick is when your device will not boot up. It won't turn on, it will not show a charging light when plugged in, the thing is well.. a brick.

You had a simple boot loop, and the differences are a working device and a paperweight.

The tutorial you gave is not even anything about a brick, but "Restore VZW M8 to Stock Android 5.0.1 Lollipop" I'm sure there are already other threads like this, but you were prob looking for a "brick fix" thread, so it's important to understand the differences so that this can help someone else in the future, because this doesn't fix a brick, and someone coming across this may think you just saved them from a paperweight, and that isn't what's going on.

But again, glad you are back up and running. :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Have you not read a single one of my threads?

Seriously?

You went to a third party click bait site to read a how to on work I have posted here many many times (and actively support) and you then come back here to post about this new novel approach? That guy only reposted my stuff to make money. His screen shot clearly shows he needed to re-run the RUU as his /data partition failed to update. Giving any credence to idiots like this is both dangerous and stupid.

This takes things to a whole new level.

There is a Firmware Update for the C.T.R.L.R Controller

[download section of the mad catz home page] (i'm not yet allowed to post urls)

My C.T.R.L.R was included when I bought my Mad Catz Mojo.

I found that Guide:

url (google for "Product Update Guide: XInput")

And a page about the Update:

url (google for "C.T.R.L.R with XInput Update – Ready to Game on PC")

(one guy in the comments says that the update is not possible for the C.T.R.L.R Controller that was packaged with the mojo - is that possible? - isn't it the same controller that is selled separately?

However, when I tried to install the new Firmware, I got the instruction from the software to push the "next title" + "last title" buttons for 3 seconds to bring the C.T.R.L.R Controller in a "firmware update mode" in order to continue the update procedure. Nothing happened when I pushed the buttons.

I have also installed the Driver and Software from the download page, but I was not able to perform the firmware update.

Was anyone able to install the firmware update?:confused:

There are many optimisations and fixes included in the update, therefore, it seems to be worthy.
[M.O.J.O. General] Drakey83:
I opened a ticket about this very problem with Mad Catz. Their responce was that we can't do a firmware update with the C.T.R.L.R. Controller that came with the Mojo. What a rip off!
[M.O.J.O. General] blazegmc:
This is actually crazy... i bought the mojo for £49.99 from amazon a few days ago... power it on.. controller wont connect so cant get past the setup language screen... make it all worse its set to goto sleep after 2mins so have to keep getting up to reinsert the power.... purchase a cheap usb keyboard to set it up... turn on bluetooth.. spend literally a day on google and on here trying to work out how to connect the controller, still wont connect... wont connect to my s4 neither... only my laptop. :/ i too found the firmware update and got stuck on the same place as you guys..... no wonder this has dropped so much in price.... im about to try tech support, spend one more day on it, then il be shipping it back to amazon...
[M.O.J.O. General] AndroidSupaFan:
That sucks, not even passing the language screen. But don't give up hope; try these few tricks:

1) Get new AAA batteries (I prefer using recheargeable ones)

2) if that doesn't work, remove the batteries and use your S4 charging cable to power the CTLR. There is tiny USB input behind the batteries.

3) swap the usb dongle bluetooth receiver between the 3.0 and 2.0 input slots on the MOJO

4) If the CTRLR just won't connect, try using either a USB mouse (either cable or wireless). I've been using a wireless mouse for the past couple months since I don't play games that much, it works flawlessly).

**Make sure you're not far from the MOJO when you're attempting these solutions.

If it works, make sure you update the MOJO firmware (205 something). Most issues with the stock CTRLR will stop after that. Also, if you continue using that CTRLR you can use the 2.0 slot and use the 3.0 input for your external HDD for example.

If none of these works, something might be wrong with your CTRLR. You could ask for a return or exhange.

But I will tell you, once this baby works, you will fall in love with it.

But honesty, I didn't really need the CTLR to be updated. For my purposes, it works just fine. Since I mostly watch videos on the MoJo, a simple wireless mouse does all the job for me.
[M.O.J.O. General] blazegmc:
cheers for the reply.. i tried the suggestions and it just keeps flashing blue and red ... ive given up on the CTRLR... now have it setup with a rii wireless keyboard and an old firestick remote that i connected via bluetooth.... i wont be playing games anyway, just wanted it for streaming upstairs....
[M.O.J.O. General] AndroidSupaFan:
That means it's just not connecting. Sorry about that. For streaming purposes, you should be fine with your current setup though.

Perhaps Mad Catz can replace your CTRLR, did you inquire?
[M.O.J.O. General] qirby:
Thank you for that important information. So I'm not able to update the firmware. I think there should be a note on the homepage about that. Hours of lifetime are lost because that information is not provided on the homepage.:crying:
[M.O.J.O. General] blazegmc:
i got an email back from them today asking me to try a few more steps that i will try in the morning.. They said if it still fails if i get back to them with proof of purchase they will send me a replacement which is pretty good of them :good:
[M.O.J.O. General] gwaldo:
The CTRL, is the best part of the MOJO :good:

I use it a lot on other BT4 devices, my phone, PC and mojo.

Try connecting on other devices, it could be the dongle that has a problem.

If there is an update, it would be for the retail version, but not sure what it would do.

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/full/CTRLR_Range/

looks like it's just PC software
[M.O.J.O. General] batwingnz:
Bit of a shot in the dark here. I've got the retail version of the controller, updated firmware and though I've followed the calibration steps to a T - it's borked.

Triggers don't register at all, right stick is slowly panning up and left and there are random triggers of some of the hard buttons.

Has anyone successfully updated any version of this controller?

Edit:

Reflashed the fimrware and tried again. Working now. Not sure what went wrong, failed flash?
