[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] JohnDaviz:
okay. I don´t care :) The phone ist mostly average. The hype over the camera is just a hype and the S7 Camera is WAY better.

Apps crash. Aluminum Frame is to sensitive. Display gets scratches VERY fast. There are way better phones for the money.

Oh and i forgot. EMUI is really bad. Trying to be Apple but not understanding what users really need. Shiny on the surface. Big lacking in depth.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bochenele:
I'm using P9 for 4 months now and I wouldn't buy it again. The biggest problem with this phone is its software- it's a huge mess, it has problems with notifications and killing apps in background (you have set EVERY app to keep it in memory if you want to keep it in memory after turning off the display) to , the camera takes around 10 seconds to open and it can really really slow down. Sometimes it's ultra fast and responds to commends immediately but other time it can be slow as f***. But not all is bad: display is very good, camera performs well (video recording sucks tho) and it doesn't run hot. So yeah, I would consider some other phone on your place. OnePlus 3T propably.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] MartinDimchev:
I have it for 2 month and started to dislike it. At first I loved it, now I would gladly switch it with OnePlus 3/T. Don't buy. Better invest in Samsung now they are on sale or a lot cheaper.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] droidbot1337:
Wow!! Anyone here interested in selling their P9?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] clouds5:
So much negativity :confused:

I bought it pretty much day one and I still love it. It's the best phone I ever used. The design is very nice imho and while it's not bullet prove it's certainly better than the all glass Samsung ones. The software is meh, but this is android so you can do pretty much anything you like. I'd love to have double tap to wake but other than that I'm very happy and compared to Samsung and Sony phones which I used in the past updates are basically as slow as any other android, except nexus/pixel of course. Battery life is nice too.

One+ is a great alternative but the screen size is borderline big for me even with the p9 so that would not be an option for me personally.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Shymmy:
I have it for few monts and it's working very well. The camera are working great, no more than 2 seconds for opening, no lag even after I have downgraded from Nougat ...

Yeah, maybe is not so great like the S7's camera, not so good in low light, but the price is other too ... in good light the pictures are very good. I'm loving this EMUI, it is simple and intuitive. Between S7/S7 Edge and P9, the last was the winner when I have made the choice ...

Hey,

So i sent my Sony Xperia Z3 off for repair, which they refused due to a tiny dink on the side of the phone. They sent me back the phone and it does not have ANY google services on it. I've looked in apps in settings and there is no google service showing there. I have no internet browser on the phone either. I've tried restoring back to factory settings with no luck and cannot install any apps on it. I've tried a few different google play services apk's but all i have tried, install then says google play services stopped working. I may not be installing the correct ones?? Please can someone help me get the phone sorted so i can install apps onto it.

It is a Sony Xperia Z3 Model number D6603, Processor - Qualcomm MSM8974PRO-AC, Android version - 4.4.4, Baseband Version - 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00005-05, Build number - 23.0.A.2.93

If you need any other info please just ask but i only want to use this phone to put things on for the kids and without the google services i can't!

Thank you in advance

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salman Al-Badgail:
Give to a phone shop and ask them to a flashing, they will charge you few bucks, If you don't want to flash and want to use than all you need to do is, you need to download all apps from third party and install in your phone and use, however you will facing some major problems. Third party apps come with virus and malwares ( Most of the time) which can damage your phone. Think Again and my suggestion is that do a proper flashing. Hope this Help you.

[YU Yureka Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gargeyak:
Since last 2.5+ years, yureka have given us nothing but joy and excitement. But I guess at least for me time has come to move on. I am sure many users are in same dilemma as I am. So following are requisites for potential new android.

1. It should have same strong community support like yureka has. That allowed us to play with yureka in most insane way.

2. It should be less then 25,000 (budget problems). So Nexus, galaxy and all other fancy phones are out of picture.

3. It should have good battery life. We know how we suffered battery with yureka, that was only downside.

4. We can discuss about chipset, CPU, operating system, RAM here to get the best of current market.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] umOuch:
I am curious if any of you have tried third party CABLES for your Le Pro 3 charging. I purchased a pack from Amazon and found that none of these charge the phone with any kind of urgency. A thirty minute drive delivered 4% battery, on a QUICK CHARGE CAR CHARGER. With the OEM cable, I would have gotten 30-40%, based on my testing thus far.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The product I picked up (and plan on returning):

[/B]Conforms to the USB Type C Specification version 1.1, standard 56kilohm identification resistor, which ensures a safe charging at 2.4A Maximum and the speed of data sync up to 480 Mbps. No damage to your wall charger adapter and legacy USB hub

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have any of you had luck, or experience, here?

Do I perhaps need a special kind of cable? I am assuming all USB C cables are "equal" due to the tech behind usb c.

Any feedback is welcomed and appreciaited.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Veidas:
I too thought that all usb c cables are the same. Are you sure you were using quick charge 3.0 charger?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] umOuch:
Yuppers. Sadly, I'm positive. I used the OEM brick this morning, and received 2% in 10 minutes. This is massively low compared to the OEM cable. The car is also a quick charge that typically charges my phone upwards of 40% on my daily commute. This did closer to 3%.

The o ly factor that has been changed is the cable. :(
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] NiHaoMike:
Sounds like you got a bad cable. Return it and buy one that is approved by Benson Leung.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] eramik:
Agree with NiHaoMike. Try Anker Powerline Cables.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I suspect his issue is related to his device. He has an engineering sample, and it's a pretty good bet that Motorola locked the /system partition down unless those files were present. A production device wouldn't be locked out like this because it's expected that owners will upgrade the firmware, but an engineering sample needs to adhere to certain parameters used in testing. Changing the ROM would violate those parameters, so when testing the test ROMs were signed.

I have a oneplus one that I just returned to stock using the method in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/onep...stock-t2826541

Problem is that at some point, while it was rooted, I used this method to make my phone microphone work (changing the build.prop file): https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/f...-issue.284449/

If I had remembered that I'd done that, I might have just left the phone alone. So, now that I'm back to stock and unrooted, my microphone doesn't work and I can't use the above method to make it so. Is there a solution out there I can use without going back to root?

My exact problem with the mic is that when I talk into the phone, the person on the other end can't hear me but I can hear myself (echo) in my earpiece. I can hear the person on the other end fine. If I switch to speaker phone I still have the same issue. Any help would be appreciated.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elius2676:
You'll need to go root again. Lucky this isn't too hard especially if you maintained a custom recovery. If not, then you will have to use adb. Or bacon root toolkit (the easy way).
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonymous93:
:( Not really what I wanted to hear, but I guess I gotta do what I gotta do. How can I tell if I maintained a custom recovery or not? I don't think I did.

And can I root without installing a custom recovery or custom rom? All the guides I've found so far talk about all these steps and unlocking the bootloader.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepromodder:
You can use KingRoot to root without custom recovery. After changing the values you can then unroot it to get future OTA updates :)

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elius2676:
Recovering from this will require fastboot magic. The bacon root toolkit should've already gotten your drivers all setup. Now search the web for how to push and install files from your computer in fastboot mode.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonymous93:
Clean install of my ROM from TWRP is good because I failed to mention that I can't get into fastboot mode. The ROM I had was the factory image from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elius2676:
I'm assuming you've tried to follow the steps given in the link you just sent?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonymous93:
Yes and no. Turns out I was actually able to boot my phone into fastboot mode. So I did that, used the baconroot toolkit option of "flash stock + unroot" and I was back to the start. My device now has an unlocked bootloader, but I think I have issues with the tamper bit. When I get my device info the "Device tampered" is set to "false" and the "device unlocked" is set to "true". I know they should both be true, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to use the zip file to change the tamper bit. I did it before, but I'm just not figuring it out this time. I hate doing this stuff.

I think once the tamper bit is correct I should be able to go back to baconroot to root and reinstall the custom recovery.

Update: I finally figured this out, now rooting with bacon root, hoping it works.

I'm all set, now to make the adjustments so my microphone works. Thanks to everyone that helped!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonymous93:
So, I forgot that one of the reasons I unrooted was because I couldn't update and I was tired of getting notices that there was an update and not being able to execute it.

So I now have cyanogen OS version 12.1 and I have a notice for an incremental update. I made sure that "update cm recovery" was unchecked so that I didn't lose root, hit the update button and I got the error message "error executing updater binary in zip '@/cache/recovery/block.map' "

From what I could find it looks like I need to download and flash the update rather than using the OTA updates. Is that correct? Can I update to 13 or 14 or are there issues with those roms? where do I go to get these downloads? when I flash updates does it wipe my phone? will I have to reinstall all my apps and settings?

I really dislike doing this stuff. I can do it, but I hate it. any very clear step by step instructions would be GREATLY appreciated.
