[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Obscure Reference:
Saw that after I posted. :P
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Jmar72:
I just bought a g6 and had the same issue. I had a screen protector from thebforst minute I got it but it scratched anyway on the rear camera lens. I thought maybe there was a plastic film protecting the lens but couldn't pull anything off. I then returmed into trouble and got another one and the same exact thing happened??? I have not been near the beach or anything so I'm not sure where the scratches came from? So I'm temporarily using a film screen protector to protect it until I figure out what the deal is with this rear glass. I was a le to chat with only and she did say there was a film on the rear camera lens but again when I tried to pick the corners nothing happened. I really dont known what to think because if I take it back to T-Mobile they will think I'm nuts. But this does cause an issue with the camera. The pics get a bad, bad flare for night pics with street lamps. When the lens is clear the flare doesnt happen. What do we do? I will try and call lg again but the people in the phone arent technical. I kmow I read the post where he says there is a coating that you buff off but should that coating be there? I dont want to ship it to lg because I need a phone for work plus they repair centers never tell you what they did to fix it? Is there a film? If there is Jerry rig didnt mention it on his testing. How can we confirm what the true issue is? For 650 I better get camera quality I expect for that kind of money. I dont want to give it back because I dont want a big bezeled phone, plus I dont like Samsung or apple. The only phone to get is the oneplus3t but they are rolling out the one plus 5 in a month and that will be bezeless. I feel screwed
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Gh05tly:
Same issue here. Multiple G6 handsets including mine and my manager's. All with scratches. Almost all had cases. I am very careful with my device. Seems that if you just look at it wrong it scratches.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] maruichan:
Other than polishing the coating off the lens as someone else here has done, you can cover the lens with a lens protector until they come out with a tempered glass version. Several have deduced it is the coating that is getting scratched, not the glass.

Currently I am using the Nillkin H+PRO since it was the only thing available at the time. I reviewed it here and it has pictures... comes with a tempered glass screen protector for front, two camera lens matte protectors and installation kit.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71921533&postcount=50

I highly suggest to do this until you either you decide to polish, purchase tempered glass protection, etc. No reason to allow it to get worse. I think once a tempered glass protection comes out for the camera lens I will be good to go.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] drdino:
I've updated my L29-c636 to the latest 181 version. I see that daydream vr been installed, so I bought the Daydream View headset. Went through the setup process, only to find that I get a black screen when I'm told to put the phone in the vr headset. Daydream seems to be working partially as I can hear some birds from the phone's speakers. I can increase or decrease the volume using the remotre, and there is an x and settings cog in either of the upper corners. Other than that though, nothing, nada: black screen only.

Anyone else have a similar experience?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] buntyji:
I have LON-L29C721 and no update available :( Anybody else ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] drdino:
Try firmware finder, it seems like 181 is authenticated.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] te36:
I used firmware finder app to upgrade to LON-L29C636B181 (still on locked bootloader), which worked fine. No Daydream VR controller yet, so couldn't get past the controller pairing menu.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] drdino:
Cool, if you do get one, see if you can view something. Btw, I read someone had used another phone to simulate the controller, not sure if it's genuinely possible though.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] wase4711:
how did you get 181 to download with firmware finder?

I only see 2 OTA's for 181, not a full file..

thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] drdino:
With firmware finder proxy. Selected the ota, changed the proxy settings as the app dictates and used the phone's menu to search for an update. As soon as it started downloading, I removed the proxy settings.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] wase4711:
thanks; I didn't think of switching to the "system" update option once it started to download, but I did, and now its downloaded it and it installed B181 perfectly!..thanks again:good::good::good:
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] yfnew:
LON-C636 here. I tried both OTA updates on Firmware Finder and them both gave me "Authentication failed" dialog :(

Seems that it's rolling out in phases again
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
Same here... and its annoying to have to keep trying it and fail - chewing up heaps of bandwidth... i guess im just impatient lol. My FF shows 3 different updates.. one that says "FullOTA-MF" which is 2.353gb and then two smaller ones (509mb and 615mb) which just say "OTA-MF".. its strange they have 2 differing smaller ones.. either way I have tried all 3 of these, and none work yet.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] buntyji:
Called Huawei UK support and they said that all updates including the daydream support rols out in CHINA followed by USA, followed by Western Europe and then all others. There can be up to 7 days delay between regions. Ah well..
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] te36:
Ok, i tested LON-L29C636B181 with Daydream view and saw the same result as drdino, aka: everything looks good up to the point when it asks to insert the phone into the viewer. The background just stays black and does not start to show the video. Foreground is just the white separator bar, X and settings icon.

If i quickly switch off/on the phone, then i will see a quick blink of the VR video, so this seems to be some rendering problem.

Not sure what i could still do myself - except factory reset. But i do not dare because right now i do depend a lot on the phone (no good backup phone at the moment).

Given how i have an overseas model, i have not yet found a way to effectively complain to Huawei. I had contacted Huawei on the US once about the mate 9 pro (different issue), but they refused politely given how they do not sell it.

I did open a case with google though, not sure if that helps. Daydream app -> Settings (VR Settings) -> Help -> Contact Us -> Call

Google promised to send me an email about the case i opened with them, but i have not yet received any email. Maybe others here with the same problem on the Mate 9 Pro could also call up google, maybe someone will succeed bringing this problem to someones attention.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] drdino:
Same here, I chatted with Google for about an hour, and reached the same result, i.e. they will email me.

I think it's a display rendering issue, as I can see the momentary flicker as well.

An additional issue that I discovered is that the phone's nfc reader is on top, above the camera, whereas the headset's nfc tag is in the middle of the flap. For what it's worth, I copied an nfc tag and stuck it on the leftmost side of the flap but got the same result.

To replicate the flicker, you can try sticking the phone on top of the headset's nfc tag, it's reproducible maybe 4/10 times.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] te36:
I am not even aware of any official USA or north-america versions of Mate 9 Pro or Mate 9 Porsche. All i can see are just overseas versions. This article https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/03/huaweis-mate-9-pro-finally-supports-daydream.html also claims "Google also reiterates that the Mate 9 Pro and the Mate 9 Porsche Design are both available in the U.S., the UK, Germany, Australia, and Canada". WTF ?!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] te36:
Interesting. I did not even knew that the VR viewer has an NFC chip ;). Yeah, playing around with it, the reader in the mate 9 pro can not read it when it is inside the viewer, but only when you match up the locations of the reader and the chip. Funny.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
LOL think that article is misinformed.. we definitely do NOT have the Mate 9 Pro for sale here in Australia, and when people asked on the Official Twitter / Facebook pages, Huawei AU responded to say it would not be sold. The Porsche Design however, did make a minor appearance here in Australia - Huawei AU did a Auction to raise funds for a charity, in which case they auctioned off 1 (yes ONE) "Limited Edition" Porsche Design Mate 9. We only have the Mate 9 as officially sold here in AU. Believe the same in USA? (or possibly you get the PD there in USA too?)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] yfnew:
On Firmware Finder's website I found LON-L29C721B180 where the changelog says that "This update adds Daydream and optimizes system performance and stability." Not sure if this version is authenticated yet, however.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
LON-L29C721B180 is for PD.

Believe some users have mentioned on PD forums they have managed to install it, and some others failed to install (auth failed).. But as per posts above the Daydream maybe not work and gets black screen when they try to add the device into the VR headset - would think the PD would have the same issue...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] superNima_Wang:
It's very interesting to see people just get this issue after B181 OTA. I am using LON-AL00C00B175 and found this issue since updated. So it's like couple weeks ago when Google hasn't announced M9P is daydream ready. Also, my friend in Huawei dev team told me Chinese version of M9P wouldn't get daydream support soon. So let's wait and see.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] drdino:
It was B181 that brought daydream support to the International Mate 9 Pro.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] wase4711:
its not official,. but this is where I bought my mate 9 pro that works just fine in the USA

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MU9RKP2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] te36:
Sure, thats what i have too.

works fine == no huawei support, no VoLTE, no WiFi calling.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
So it would be the LON-L29C636 model... ? This is the typical model used for export... as there is no official USA model (thus no VoLTE config etc)... Also I have found on Huawei Support FAQ pages the device itself does not support WiFi calling at all, as this is not possible in China (so they did not include it even in the international models).

I am missing VoLTE - since my model is also LON-L29C636, which does not include Australian VoLTE configs.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] te36:
Yes, C636. Theoretically you could get support for such a device - from the country it is from. Thats on the label of the box. Mine is from Taiwan. Of course, Huaweis Taiwan webpage is only chinese, so trying to get any support is kinda difficult.

I miss working daydream more than VoLTE. I am pretty sure you can make VoLTE work on a rooted phone, there was a fix sent around for the mate 9 by someone. Shouldn't be too difficult to adopt it for mate 9 pro. There are reports that WiFi calling work on mate 9 with some providers (e.g.: in germany), so the same mixups may be possible there.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
Still need the VoLTE files for my country.. assuming they are the same files on a Mate 9 non-pro, I suppose I could dump them from a local Mate 9 AU model... both phones would need to be rooted/TWRP installed to backup and restore the files... I'm not willing to root my phone yet as I would like to keep the warranty, after thats finished and I will prob look at patching it to get VoLTE.

Yes I just looked up the WiFi calling FAQs again.. and believe it or not I have conflicting details, but seems it would be available if carrier supports it... So I guess if some people have said they have the settings, it must again be the Country specific firmwares? and again since I have a Asia C636 and I'm in Australia - the configs are not there for my carrier... or my carrier doesnt actually support it..

This page says you can enable it (carrier specific):

http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/faqs/detail/index.htm?id=116192

However this page says its not available, however reading it again it does say Chinese carriers dont have it yet.. so they could just mean China.. but other countries - ok if supported by carrier.

http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/faqs/detail/index.htm?id=123094

Both of these FAQs were taken from this page, down the bottom in the FAQ for the Mate 9 Pro:

http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/mobile-phones/mate9pro-en-sup.htm

I cant even try Daydream yet as I cant get the OTA for B181 to install.. I have my friends VR headsets to test it - but cant even get to test it!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] buntyji:
B180 brings daydream. But the SIM card in your phone determines if you will get the OTA or not. I had a spare sim from GERMANY and as soon as I popped out my Bulgarian sim and put my German SIM, it immediately fetched the OTA update B180 !!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] drdino:
Does it actually work though? Most of the comments from the 9 Pro say it doesn't, I've yet to see someone who has it working.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
Yeah.. that's quite annoying.. I have Australian SIM card - so if the Pro is not even sold in AU at all, I would never get OTA updates? I did manage to force B156 using Firmware Finder, and it did not complain about Authentication - however using FF to try and force B181 has been nothing but authentication failed since its release.

I bought the phone in Thailand (C636), and I have a Thai SIM Card - but it gets no signal, and cannot roam here.. I have tried placing it in the phone and using Wifi to check update - nothing available...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
This *might* be fixed with B182. I don't have daydream headset to test it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] drdino:
Indeed it does. Updated to 182 and daydream works fine. Happy days ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] domon07:
may i know what country did you setup hicare account on your c636 mate 9 pro? coz i cant install b181 on my one. keeps failing on authorization.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Crazypinoy9:
Did you by chance update your firmware through Firmware Finder or did you just receive the update naturally through System Update?

Because a few of us keep getting authentication failures during the update process using Firmware Finder.

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] domon07:
mine cannot even be updated to B181. di ko alam kung bakit.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] te36:
My LON-L29C636 is today upgraded from B181 to B182 and daydream is working fine. I did not create any hicare account, i am on t-mobile USA, and i downloaded the latest version of firmware finder today. The upgrade did fail on authentication for the last ca. five? days (it's about five days since B182 showed up in firmware finder).

I am wondering if the newer version of firmware finder has something to do with authentication succeeding, or if this is just coincidence.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] wase4711:
same exact thing for me today; no Hicare account, t-mobile USA, used firmware finder to update from B181 to B182, no issues at all
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Leighm0:
Which update did you 2 use, the FullOTA-MF 2.354GB or the smaller OTA-MF 313MB?

Also - you said you don't have HiCare accounts, did you never make one since buying the phone, or did you Remove it after ? I have created and wondering if this has hindered my update authentications.. and wondering if I remove it will it work - or they now have my phone listed under a hicare account so is now no turning back?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] te36:
I think i used the 313MB one. I don't remember, but i think i never set up a hicare account.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] wase4711:
I used the full one ; 2.3 gigs

and, I tried to setup a hicare account many times, but being in the USA< I dont think you can..

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathyou9:
Every time I restart my Note 4, I get a pop-up asking me if I want Root Explorer to open when the apparent (and quite non-existent) USB device is connected. My phone is not connected to anything. And, of course, if I tick "use by default ..." then when I restart my phone, Root Explorer just opens automatically without prompting.

Any ideas what might be causing this?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathyou9:
I figured it out: Uninstalling and reinstalling Root Explorer didn't change anything. But reverting to the previous version of Root Explorer fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
I've heard numerous complains about Nougat update for S7E and its camera capabilities after. Heard that generally the camera is worse - there is more shaking, autofocus is much worse (especially in 1080p@60FPS mode) and a bit more noise. Overall not good.

I found some issues too, isn't this made on purpose? Perhaps now all testers would say that camera in S8 is better than worsened S7 version?

Here is YT video, I do not agree with all in it though: https://youtu.be/r1w5GfE_CNg

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] zsszeli199417:
Nothing noticable noise for me, not even in dark. just like on MM. I'm not really using video recording, so that I can't tell the difference, but in taking pictures.. it's just still the best. (Android 7.0 on Exynos variant)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Yeah, the biggest difference is supposedly by the video. I still cannot judge it's true or not in this case.

thank you for this work

---------- Post added at 05:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 AM ----------

i tried the steps that you mentioned but the phone stuck on sony logo while booting

i was on cm13

i also tried to don't wipe system and it worked but all new rom apps show force close :(
[Sony Xperia M2] Otaku-San:
Okay thanks for testing. I forgot to convert them to System Apps, that's why they're force closing. Will fix that later and upload a New Build. :)

Thank you, Otaku-San. Will wait for your next build, with some improvements of the ROM. Wish you all the best, Sir!
[Sony Xperia M2] Daumian:
Hi, great work. Thanks for that. I will try it in the future beacuse for now I dont have backup phone if something goes wrong xD

But, I have to ask you. What apps are part of this rom to make it look like iOS? In my opinion iNoty and Control Center are not really made for everyday use. Maybe just for fun, beacuse of the glitches and bugs. What do you think about this?
