[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] wingzfan:
I have no issues with the brightness of the led at all, in fact I prefer it to the absurd brightness of the s7 series. My phone is primarily on a desk or table and I havent missied any notifications at all. Also my volume is always on so I hear my phone go off and never really pay attention to the vibration of it but I would say its right on par with my iPhone. Another thing is I use Textra and always have so Ive got the vibration set to "multiple short" and if the phone is for some reason on silent I still hear the vibration when a notification comes in. Honestly I have no complaints about anything with this phone especially now that Ive been able to change out the emojis without root (hate android emojis).

coming from a pixel

i really like the mate 9, the software could do with abit more though.

if it was pure vanilla, this phone would be the end all.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tommy281:
I use an app called Flash notificationn 2. basically on any missed notifications it keeps flashing the camera and lights up the screen( set every min or so). it works very well. coming from a note 4 i was also tossed. I do love this phone and at 599.00 seems a steal. does it have shortcomings , ya it does. but so does every phone. price to price with the s8+ or note 8 rumored at close to a grand makes this phone a steal. especially considering the list of shortcomings the galaxys 8 will have.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] dscline:
That seems like an odd issue to me. All it takes to unlock the phone is touching a sensor. Unless the complaint is about doing it while sitting flat on a surface, then I agree the sensor placement isn't optimal. But if replying to a text without unlocking the phone is important, that's easily solved with a 3rd party text app, like Textra.

I also haven't noticed the issues with notifications in my usage that others have had. But I do agree the notification LED could be brighter, and the vibration stronger.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RealEvil:
This just doesn't work reliably. Spotify works 60% of the time maybe but PocketCasts about 5%. Totally rubbish.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RealEvil:
Really mixed bag of opinions here.

I'm almost wondering if there are multiple software versions showing different behaviour?

The 2 notifications issues i have are :

1. Music playback controls. Dreadful. Seems like some apps whitelisted but even those don't work 100% of the time. PocketCasts (even latest version from 2 days ago) works basically never, meaning i need to unlock phone to pause. A total joke.

2. Notifications. Lock screen shows them once and once only. As soon as i unlock, all notifications are not shown again on lock screen, unlike normal Android.

For those that "don't have issue with the notifications"... Do you see what i see?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] admorris:
That doesn't fix the issue...It's a known problem.

I think what you have are two types of people on here...Not two software versions. You have people that have given up on the phone and people who are justifying their purchase...lol
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] dscline:
Or, it may just be different usage patterns. I don't use the lock screen often, I typically just turn the phone on by fingerprint unlock. Generally, it's used mostly by other people who want to control my music, like while I'm driving. So for that, I can say that the music player lock screen controls are... odd. Sometimes they seem to work fine, and other times once I start playing music, they have to be "nudged" by unlocking the phone once. But after that first unlock, the lock screen controls work fine for as long as the music player is being used. My only usage is with Google Play music.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] wingzfan:
I don't have issues like that because when I open my phone and have a notification I check it. Why you'd open the phone when you have a notification and not check it is a bit odd. Doesn't really make sense to me if you care so much about seeing the notification.

Or option 3, people who don't use some of the apps others use like "pocketcasts" and therefore don't have the issues those using it have. I have zero issues with iHeart radio, Google play music ,and the few times I used it, Spotify.

Every phone has issues of some sort whether it be software oddities or hardware oddities. LG, Samsung (pick one from last year and I'll tell you the horrendous problems I had with it) iPhone, Motorola, the list goes on and on. The thing is though, if you don't like particular oddities you can sell the phone and buy another.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RealEvil:
Completely agree that all phones have issues, but not many break Android default notifications. The only ones that do (to my knowledge) are Xiaomi and Huawei. Im just surprised that in the mainstream reviews, this wasn't highlighted more. Something as basic as using the lock screen to manage notifications and audio playback across a variety of apps simply doesn't work properly. But I do agree that otherwise its a good phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tommy281:
I prefer a cleaner lockscreen. i usually clear my lockscreen of notifications without unlocking my phone. they do stay in the pull down to remind me later on after unlocking. while driving i control all my music from this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nezdroid.cardashdroid&hl=en

I actually control everything from this app... it works well for me. good luck.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] admorris:
Watch MrMobile on YouTube...He's about the only one who acknowledges the problem.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] -ErrorFile-:
At least PowerAmp's controls show up normally for me when I listened for an hour on the weekend. Never disappeared, until I stopped listening to music. Vibration could be stronger, I've missed a phone call due to phone being on vibrate-only mode and didn't notice it.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] rkng:
I just got a new OnePlus 3t, and was wondering if it is worth updating to 4.0.3. I've been hearing a lot of people have issues with the battery life, the sliders, etc. With these in mind, is it worth updating to 4.0.3 or should I stay on 3.5.4?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] ram4ufriends:
I am on 7.1.1 beta and don't have any issues
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Anova's Origin:
Depends on what you intend to use your phone for. The biggest reason to stay on OOS 3.x would be for Xposed. I personally have not noticed any issues with OOS 4.x though.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] wolkenjaeger:
Hello everyone,

I don't know what I should do further. My Mi5 is in a bootloop and I almost tried everything. Here is the story:

On a normal day, I took the phone out of my pockets and it was black. So I though, maybe the battery is dead. So back at home I charged the phone and tried to turn it on, however it directly went into a bootloop (Mi logo for a few seconds - black screen - Mi logo - black screen - and so on...). Okay, nothing bad I though, maybe just the firmware got some strange damage. I then tried almost everything:

successfully flashed the Global ROM -> bootloop (tried both, beta and stable)

succesfully flashed the Chinese ROM -> bootloop (tried both, beta and stable)

flashed TWRP recovery and was able to access it and everything on the phone. Restart -> Bootloop

flashed LineageOS via TWRP -> NO BOOTLOOP, but guess what: EDL MODE?!

flashed again the official MIUI (different versions) -> BOOTLOOP

flashed the Chinese MIUI Stable with the LOCK command -> BOOLOOP (but with locked bootloader)

unlocked the phone again with MiUnlock

flashed TWRP recovery again -> tried various things, but unsuccessful.

Now, I found the possibility to download the log from the phone. Attached here.

(I tried various combinations of firmwares and process, but all ended with the same outcome: no startup into Android)

Do you guys have any idea what could be wrong?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] JJeamy:
Hi..

I don't know exactly what's wrong with your mi5..coz you're already told that you almost tried everything..but as long the problems just softbrick i think there's nothing wrong to try this way that might be you don't try it before..

What twrp version you're using it currently..?, is it official or zcx twrp..?, if official..just try switch to zcx version first..you can find and download it from here.

After that with zcx twrp tried check and see that your partition system, data and cache are still as Ext4 file system not F2fs or you can try formatting the data partition (caution!!..this will deleting all your internal storage) to make sure everything is clear, then put it again the rom.zip then flash it again the rom but this time just try it using xiaomi.eu rom, you can try this rom

And anyway..what version XiaomiFlash tool you're using it while flashing official fastboot rom..?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] vlatko98:
Xiaomi eu dont support f2fs,i have tried it myself,the last thing to do if you already haven't do in is to flash the firmware in edl mode(i prefer to try Chinese devolep first),i think that way the phone is fully wiped and than flashed just like it came out of factory,other than good luck :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] wolkenjaeger:
Hey guys, I will try your suggestions. In the meantime, I attached the dmesg log - it shows the kernel booting. Maybe you see something. It would be cool, if you can upload a dmesg log as well so I can compare or check if you can see anything.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] wolkenjaeger:
Further information:

- I am using MiFlash 2016.08.30.0

- Tried it with the alternative ZCX version AND the xiaomi.eu ROM

- Formatted the data partition as well (I could create a backup of it with TWRP)

- still same situation... :(

- Is there a way to reset partitions or kind of "deep flash" the device?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] vlatko98:
Did you try to flash in EDL mode ?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] wolkenjaeger:
Yes. No luck either. Then I tried to flash (via normal fastboot mode) an old STABLE China MIUI ROM: miui_MI5_V7.3.2.0.MAACNDD_905c2c8100_6.0.zip -> resulted in boot -> black screen. Now I can go into either fastboot nor recovery :p
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] vlatko98:
Idk what to tell you else than to search miui forum and hope for the best:)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] edgarrosandy:
Have you got it fix yet ?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] wolkenjaeger:
Nope. Next step is to try EDL again.

Hav you got it fixed ??? Even i am facing the same issue.

please do let us know if you have fixed it.

Im using mi5 64gb
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] algisna:
Exactly the same problem: " (Mi logo for a few seconds - black screen - Mi logo - black screen - and so on...)"

But this has happened after serious damage (car rolled over the phone) and I replaced the screen with new one. So I guess some hardware might be damaged. Flashing ROM's didn't help.

I couldn't find any solution so far
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] bilalsmu:
After screen replace , you got it working ?

I can't get into recovery also.

I tried many twrp versions , i can see the twrp screen but then it get stuck and phone restarts to go back to that mi logo bootloop.

I did flashed many Chinese and global ROMs via flashboot and miflash tool but all the same.

I'm so doomed...

My phone has no history of any fall or anything ..

I wonder what happened all of a sudden.

Thanks for the reply :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] rhrokib:
Okay, have you tried Mi Flash with deep flash cable ? Flash it again with deep flash cable or go to any reseller shop. They have deep flash cable. Ask them to flash it again. It'd cost you upto $10.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] wolkenjaeger:
I retried yesterday - no success.

I flashed both stable versions: Global and Chinese, but after flashing, I again had the same problem: bootloop. I stop wasting time, until someone knows the problem. I personally think it's a problem with the hardware, as when you see the log, which I posted above (kernel log of TWRP), there are quite a lot of "errors" in it.

Any other idea?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] bilalsmu:
I asked an android expert who worked in mi about it ...

He was almost sure that either battery or the motherboard is faulty.

He thinks the motherboard is of more chance for the issue.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] wolkenjaeger:
Okay, can you tell me which MiFlash version you have been using (and which ROM?)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] bilalsmu:
I am sorry brother.

Android booted up,I could log into my accounts and I left the phone for charge while it was syncing the accounts ..

When I am back after half an hour , bootloop had already started :(

I used miflashtool 2016 and miui 8.2.1 official global rom
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] algisna:
Mine MI5 - no proggress :(

I have tried to flash few ROM's including Chinese developer - no changes. Always bootloop.

The only idea is to try flashing using deep flash cable, I always used test points method so far.

Do these 2 methods have any difference in terms of flash process?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Spevky:
Please help me my phone is in EDL mode and i can't flash anything on it. It does not turn on no led no light no display no response. Just Qualacomm QDLoader 9008

Everytime i flash it gives me an error.

Max buffer sector is 256.

Errors and so on.....

How to fix please :(

I have reinstalled all drivers and programs , tried a lot of miflash versions , fastboot roms like 6-8. Many pc restarts
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] bilalsmu:
Copy your ROM files to a folder with no space in name...

Copy to d:/ROM/(place files here) and try
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] bilalsmu:
How do you take the log ??

Let me see if mine gives the same result.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] wolkenjaeger:
Actually, I also had to look a little bit, but its pretty easy with TWRP:

I unlocked the mobile, then I used the latest TWRP recovery for this (https://eu.dl.twrp.me/gemini/) and then installed the latest LineageOS (https://download.lineageos.org/gemini) via TWRP. Reboot into LineageOS (-> probably goes into black screen / EDL mode). Reboot into recovery and mount /system. After that use the File Manager of TWRP to navigate to /proc/last_kmesg and copy it to /data - you can download it then via USB or ADB.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] nickalumada:
Hmm...strange error... I dont think this is hardware-related. Have you try deep flash yet?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] wolkenjaeger:
Yes I tried EDL, all original ROMs result in bootloop. However, I can flash TWRP and other ROMs. These non original ROMs startup and jump directly into EDL after a while (kernel panic?)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EasyAndroidPro:
Need some advice XDA. (im from the UK)

im aware of the common scam of second hand contract binded phones sold on eBay and other marketplaces where after they have been sold a few month down the line there IMEI is blacklisted and blocked and there is nothing you can do about it.

Is this happening to me?

I bought a s7 edge from eBay (sealed box g935f)

It was described as being "no network logo's factory unlocked"

I received it, opened it and it booted with 3 (three) network logo and then when i got through set up it was filled with reinstalled 3 network Apps.

now as far as i know if a mobile is has this branded firmware it is binded to a contract... am i wrong?

i messaged the seller and he assured me it was not a contract phone but was purchased from 3 and he said being as its a unlocked phone he assumed it would not have any logo branding on the software and seeing as he did not open the box he couldn't be sure.

in the end i asked for a receipt.. he provided this delivery note (attatched file) (i have crossed out his address and imei in paint)

-yes that really is the original picture quality (god knows if he really is just taking the piss or eBay hosting is terrible)

after i questioned this delivery note and bad quality image he got very irate and simply asked me to return the device for a refund and began accusing me of being a scammer saying that he will get the police involved if i send back a different handset and try to pass it off as the one he sent

What do you think?

is he trying to scam me with a contract phone?

or is he being honest can a non contract phone be on a network branded firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bathcrow:
Resumen:

its not a Scam, make sure that it works and keep it.

the logo is because of the rom.

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

Look, this will help you, Three and other companies have the option to sell unlocket or locket phones, but all of the phones, has the Three's ROM, the rom, make sure that the phone works, and u have data and all, its fine..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Stevica Smederevac:
Who cares, flash BTU firmware and problem solved. In my country, a lot of people by phones they don't need on contract then resell them to make money. Nothing shady there. If the imei is clean, why worry?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EasyAndroidPro:
In the UK people get a phone on contract with insurance sell them on ebay wait a month or 2 and then report it stolen . They get replacement phone and the guy who bought his old one gets a blacklisted IMEI and can't do anything about it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EasyAndroidPro:
So how can I tell if the phone is binded to a contract?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bathcrow:
you should call three and ask them if the imei is binded, because you bought it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EasyAndroidPro:
Unfortunately 3 won't release any information about it because Im not the one that bought it from them :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bathcrow:
sadly i cant help you further than this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EasyAndroidPro:
Thanks anyway! I think I'm just gonna have to return it. I can't afford to risk it.

As far as I know 3 don't sell phones separate from a contract unless you pay more than what Samsung charge lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Three branded ROM but apparently it is unlocked? Suspect. He could have flashed a Three ROM on there but why didn't he say this? Suspect. Typically three branded ROM will come from Three directly.

Take videos of the phone working/booting up. Take multiple pictures of the phone from all angles. Return it via special delivery, probably £6-8 but totally worth it for peace of mind. He won't be able to claim it not being delivered since it MUST be signed for. Special delivery will cover you for around £500 in compensation (Can be bought new from Amazon for around £475).

Hope it all goes well. If you can, buy from a reputable company next time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EasyAndroidPro:
Thanks for the advice I'll make sure to do that, going to post it today. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] foxmeister:
Nowadays, phones from Three are sold unlocked, but still have some Three branding due to the CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Yeah I didn't mean in the traditional sense that the phone is sim-locked, but that it is still branded somewhat, so it's more likely that it is an unwanted network upgrade from Three directly.

Better battery Life

Wireless Charging

AMOLED (If the price is right)

Stock Android (No bloatware)

This wouldn't stop me from getting the phone if it had all the features above: REGULAR UPDATES!!!!!!!

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Xelios029:
Hey guys, so my mom was using the Turbo yesterday when she was prompted to an update. Now according to a few searches there was a soak test out or something? Not sure, since I have the Turbo 2. But regardless, she went to apply the update and now that phone won't boot up. It lights up with the M logo screen and then goes to andy where he's got the rotating box in his belly, and underneath it says "Erasing...". I can't get to any of the other options from the screen where you hold Volume Down while powering up. All of the options lead to the same erasing screen. The phone will reboot after two or three minutes and go back to the same thing. Been doing this for hours. I have it sitting on a charger and will take a look at it when I come back from work but I'm wondering how to remedy this? I am familiar with RSD lite and can use it to flash the phone if I can figure out which files to use. Not familiar with ADB so if that's the route I have to go, I'd appreciate a write up on how to use it. Willing to install custom firmware if I have to as well. I just need to get the phone working asap. My mom works nights and she is currently phoneless, so this is a safety concern of mine.

Also that screen where you hold Volume Down, it says battery okay and all that but it says the phone software is modified. Not sure why, I know that she completely incapable of doing that. And I didn't modify anything when I had the phone. Not that is matters though, it's out of warranty so Verizon or Moto probably won't be too useful.

Any and all help appreciated. Currently not in the position to buy a new phone so I'd prefer fixing this one up if I can. Thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Is the phone pure stock? You've never unlocked the bootloader via Sunshine nor installed TWRP custom recovery?

If so, then this is the full firmware version of the most recent update that you would flash via RSD.

[FXZ] Official Stock Firmware 6.0.1 MCG24.251-5-5

https://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/development/fxz-official-stock-firmware-6-0-1-mcg24-t3569334

It should fix your phone -- but you will not be able to unlock the bootloader and install custom recovery because the update blocks Sunshine. If you had wanted an unlocked bootloader you should have done it before now. ;)
