any news about this model?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] rictec:
it got a android 7 update

only new thing we got is android 7 and two bug fix updates for it

now this models have ww.14.10.1707. 46 Rom version from 20170721

still there is NO way yet to unlock the bootloader and make sp flash tool work on it

thank you for reading

Rictec
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] kuive:
The support page lists a working bootloader unlock tool compatible with the US version of the phone, provided it's on Nougat, so we now have an unlockable bootloader. Read the fine print carefully on that though, because it will wipe your device and disable future OTA updates - which you probably don't want to do just yet, since we don't have anything to flash.

Now we just need a viable recovery and rom. :)
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] rictec:
misleading info in their site

unfortunately you are wrong in assuming what asus provided works and that is not the case as usual

the provided application simple doesn't work even if you have everything

i already sent them that info and the required serial number as they requested so they fix what should be a easy thing to do in the first place

of course without unlocking we can do a lot of things but we cant test them ....

i just rooted my device using this method and it works like a charm

this is for Asus ZC520TL the WW version so you have to be on android 7

unlock your bootloader go to asus site and get the apk to do this

install MagiskManager latest version it 5.3.0 a big thank you for the guy who did this

get your boot.img you can get it from the asus site also the sdcard zip file for update the boot.img is there or use mine if you are on UL-ASUS_X008_1-WW-14.10.1708.58 version if not DONT

use the MagiskManager to patch the boot.img file it will create one name patched_boot.img

after this do on the CMD windows

adb reboot bootloader <- to get to bootloader mode

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img <- to actual flash the file on a unlocked device

fastboot reboot <-to reboot

that is all

files from that version of the rom are here

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randallrbaker:
My Nexus 5x received the nouget update and I wanted to root it. That gave me issues so I downgraded to marshmallow with flying colors and got the device rooted. My goal was to spoof the imei, device ID ect to trick an app to working but somewhere along the way I fricked up. My device currently has no 4g and when I boot up I get a red triangle instead of the orange and it tells me that my device is corrupted and may not work properly I have tried reflashing the whole OS, bootloader and recovery crap but still have no luck. I checked my battery door to see if it was my imei and they both match up so I have no clue what to do any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks.

Does anyone know where I can download the original Orange branded UK ROM?

Am happy with the ROM I am currently using (thank you Sleuth) but just in case I should need to return the phone I'd like to have the original ROM at hand.

Any ideas or links (have done a search on here and there are no thread titles relating to this subject).

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] forza:
There is currently no officially released ROM from Orange UK that can be used to flash your phone back to it's original state.

I have dumped the Orange UK ROM from my phone and re-constructed this into a flashable ROM complete with splash screen - but I have not tested it yet as I am very happy with my current set-up and can't face doing it all over again! I'm fairly confident it'll work (I'm not new to this) but can't give any guarantees!

If you want a copy let me know and I'll upload it somewhere.

Hi, I've got a problem with my H8. The camera is basically really good - but only if the ratio 4:3 is configured. When I configure 19:6 (nothing else), a weird grid is shown on the photo. A grid is visible on the view before the photo is taken and on the photo either. I tried restore the app, download third parties apps and factory reset too, but no change. What's wrong?

I can't post pictures since I'm new member. Please go to "alexisbb dot cz/no_grid.jpg" and "alexisbb dot cz/grid.jpg"

Tell them that the problem is known by honor and that the only 64GB is unaffected maybe they wont be so kind and you will have to pay the difference but they should replace it for you without going through warranty 30 day cycle...

thanks

Yeah well... I don´t mind paying the difference (although you said it was free exchange for zou) but the 64GB is only in Gold :rolleyes: How does it look compare the black one? Guess I can compare it in store directly.

Thnx for your answer.

Random camera and gallery issues

Hi, I'm from Poland and I just bought a black Honor 8 FRD-L09 32GB version. Instantly updated it to EMUI 4.1 FRD-L09C432B120 build.

Everything works nice and smooth, but there is one issue with camera/gallery/mediaserver. There are many ways to trigger this problem, but all of them lead to total freeze of used app.

First time I encountered this bug trying to delete all photos in the gallery at once. Gallery app just stopped to respond. I could exit to the home screen, open and use other apps, but every time I tried to open gallery again it was still frozen/screen was all black. Other time it froze when I opened photo gallery through camera app, and finally today when i took photo with Messenger app (in this situation all of the apps - Messenger, camera and gallery were freezed).

Can't tell if problem existed in previous build, because I updated it during the first start of the phone.

Is this a known bug? Anyone else had simmilar isssues?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] HonorUSA_Noah:
Messenger/Camera/Gallery Freezing Issue

Hello, we understand your concern about the freezing issue you are having with your device. A few options you can take are to: perform a "master reset" of the device. Back up all important data on your phone before restoring factory settings.

Restoring factory settings will erase all personal data from your phone, including fingerprints, account information, downloaded applications, and application settings. Follow these steps to "master reset" the device:

Open [click to enlarge] Settings.

Touch Advanced settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.

Choose whether to format your internal storage, and then touch Reset phone.

Touch Reset phone to restore your phone to its factory settings.

Your phone will restart automatically when the process is complete.

Your second option is to re-install/update your device's software to the latest Android 7.0 Marshmallow. (NS)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Rzch:
Thank you for such quick reply.

There's no OTA update to newer version of EMUI and I have not seen any official info about Noughat-based soft update for H8. What did you mean by that?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] HonorUSA_Noah:
I apologize. It will have Marshmallow and we are waiting on more information regarding any upgrades to the Android Nougat software. (NS)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Rzch:
Then I'll go with the factory reset and see if that helps.

Thanks for help

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] FaserF:
What do you think?

I have read it will cost in the US 650$, how much will it be in the European in €?

What do you say about a waterproof Pixel and will it have a hard button home key?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mitchst2:
Not waterproof

www.androidpolice.com/2016/09/21/googles-pixel-phones-will-be-ip53-rated-meaning-no-dunking-your-pixel-or-hosing-it-down

Can't see there being a home button either.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Señor Sjon:
Google doesn't do physical or capacitive buttons on the front.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 2390:
A home button isn't entirely impossible. Case leaks include one on the front, oddly, and the actual photo leaks I've seen have the same area blurred. It wouldn't make sense, but there is evidence to support it. As for waterproofing, it would make sense for them to, but if we haven't seen any info on it yet, it's probably not going to happen
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] KnownDominance:
I imagine maybe there is a fingerprint sensor or something along those lines in the front below the screen embedded in the glass
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] saiknaram:
The fingerprint sensor is actually on the back of the phone. Since the speakers are bottom firing, maybe they will take up more space than standard speakers?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] YellowGTO:
Man, I REALLY hope they put a MicroSD.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ts-apps:
It's funny because this year it looks like expandable storage is the least thing everybody seem to worry about.

Regarding the price: If the US price is really $650 then I'd expect a similar € price here in Europe. They'd have a hard time convincing us to pay a higher price than most flagship smartphones (e.g. Galaxy S7) without offering some of the features they offer (waterproof, expandable storage)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gee2012:
Probably the same amount (649) but in Euro`s. If all the rumors are correct this will be a expensive device, the XL will cost even more off course maybe even up to 700-750 euro`s, its not waterproof, non expandable storage and rooting Nougat will be harder and harder as Google is gradualy locking down android to obtain root.

I will not pay this amount for a Google phone considering i bought the blue Honor 8 for 399 euro`s wich overall is a great device with a killer camera and fingerprint scanner.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jshamlet:
The rumor is that the smaller Pixel will start at $650. No one seems to know what the extra storage will cost, but since Google is trying to replicate Apple's pricing, I would expect an Apple-like matrix. That would put the fatter sailfish at $750. The Pixel XL would then come in at $770 and $870. That also puts them roughly in parity with the Samsung Galaxy S7, but with a larger screen. Of course, the difference is that you can add a comparatively cheap (read, less than $100) SD card to a S7. It is less than the $900 asking price for a Note 7, but it also lacks the stylus and has a smaller display.

I'm hoping this is off, but at this point it's looking pretty likely. :(

Considering that the Nexus 6 was $699, I'd say that that line has already been surpassed.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jshamlet:
The Nexus 6 didn't exactly fly off the shelves either. Part of that may be the lack of demand for such an enormous device, but I suspect a big part of that was the price tag and Google's typical mucking up of marketing campaigns.

The only Android OEM to maintain those kinds of flagship prices successfully has been Samsung. Everyone else has either had to back off (LG) or suffered poor sales performance (hTC).

Now, in their defense, Google always intended the Nexus devices to be "developer phones", so they probably didn't care too much that the 6 wasn't exactly the hottest ticket going.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] doitright:
What do you base that on?

The reality is quite the contrary, Nexus 6 sales *exceeded* expectations quite dramatically. They were persistently short on meeting demands until well into 2015 -- first sell date was in November 2014. That doesn't happen when you are having a hard time selling them.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jshamlet:
Google themselves admitted that the Nexus 6 (and the 9) didn't meet their sales expectations, to the point where they impacted revenue statements in 2015. They sold reasonably well, but they weren't barn burners. Now, part of that is the fact that they couldn't keep sufficient stock, which I chalk up to Google's "typical mucking up" of consumer launches, and part of that was the fact that the 6 wasn't sold through carriers.

I suspect the latter is probably the bigger factor. It's a lot easier to charge $800+ for a flagship when the customer can finance it through their phone bill than it is to extend that as a separate loan. As such, it's possible the Pixel phones may be able to pull off the higher pricing now that the carriers are on board with selling them.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] doitright:
When did "google themselves" say that? Especially since everybody and his brother and his uncle and his cousin and his ..... has a nexus 9.....
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jshamlet:
Look, I'm not anti-Google, and I actually liked the Nexus line, so I have no particular axe to grind. However, you will find that in 2015, Google CFO Patrick Pichette stated as much in the Q1 guidance to investors. Additionally, Motorola has independently discussed the fact that the Nexus 6 didn't perform as well in the market as they would have liked, so it's not like this is some new piece of information. Now, anecdotally, I have only seen a handful of Nexus 6 devices roaming wild, and I work in a very tech-oriented town. Instead, I see what you might expect - mostly iPhones, Galaxy S6/7s and Notes, with a smattering of older Nexus devices - particularly the 5. I saw a guy with a 6P the other day in the parking lot, but I only remember that because it's the first one I've seen so far.

I have yet to see a single Nexus 9 in my town. When I do see a tablet in the wild here, it is almost invariably an iPad or iPad pro, though I have seen a few Galaxy tabs and Nexus 7's.

Now, no one is calling these devices failures, or bad. However, they didn't sell to Google or Motorola's expectations for a variety of reasons, and it is likely why the Nexus 6 was the last actual 6" Nexus device made.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] doitright:
So you're taking BUSINESS EXCUSES as fact? That's silly.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Jsunn:
Anyone hear anything about a notification light?

I really miss this from my Nexus 5 and enabling it on my Nexus 6 was a pain. The 5X and 6P have it. I would rather have a notification light than the ambient display.

I will consistently miss the "pulsing" ambient display notification, or when I pick up the phone to put it in my pocket etc, the motion will turn on the screen and I'll accidentally activate some app on the phone or change a setting accidentally.

I'd rather not have the screen on unless I turn it on.
