[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ytgbg:
Hi guys,

It's decision time for me and would like to ask for your help knowing that you got real-world experience with Mate 9.

Background: Using now Galaxy S7 and before it I use to root and flash custom roms and tweak kernels but got tired from all that jazz. Now I just really want a fast phone, with big screen, great camera with great battery life that just work. So I got great offer from my mobile operator on European model Mate 9 and start thinking about it, as S7 got a small screen (for my liking and usage) and not so loud speaker (no bluetooth audio capabilities in my commute vehicle and love listening to podcasts while commute).

Questions:

1. Is it really fast or faster comparing to Pixel and Oneplus 3T? As speed is very important for me. Other variants that I am contemplating Oneplus 3T (but camera is concern and not stereo speaker is a minus)...

2. Is the screen really usable/great under daylight?

3. Are the speakers really loud (comparing to Galaxy S6, S7, HTC 10, LG V10 - this phones I got a experience with)?

4. Does the camera got better through the updates and is it fast at launching and focusing?

5. No way to double-tap-to-wake?

6. Is factory screen protector any good?

7. Does it slow down during the month of usage for you?

8. Notifications issue on European Models absolutely and completely gone for all EU users?

9. Signal + wifi signal any good? GPS any good?

10. Is it possible to go back to full and unrooted official stock rom after root?

11. Any news on 5.1 coming soon?

12. Ability to control apps auto-starts and apps auto-starts at boot?

13. Is there a performance mode present?

14. Any bending, build quality issues?

15. Fingerprint gestures?

16. How is touch sensitivity and the latency?

17. Are EU updates massively delayed comparing to other regions?

Wow. A lot of question I got here, but if I got the phone eventually I will update this post with answer to every question of mine.

I did read a lot of reviews and watch a lot of video review, but I value real user experience here on XDA most, not some reviewer that is getting the phone for free to review and changing phones constantly.

Thank in advance guys!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] combatuser:
1. Fast enough.

2. Yes

3. Loud enough.

4. Camera good enough without update. Update only increases digital zoom. Recommend pro mode though. Launch speed and focus wise, S7 should be better.

5. Nope.

6. Decent. Still will get scratched.

7. Nope. May or may not stutter for a few apps. Maybe occasional stutters.

8. No notification issue for me. Using C636.

9. Signal not bad. Call did not drop even though have lousy reception. WiFi signal also decent.

10. Yes.

11. July?

12. Don't think so.

13. Nope.

14. Not for me since last year December.

15. Swipe down on fingerprint scanner for notification bar.

16. Touch sensitivity generally ok. Except for the left and right edge. Heard that it will be improved in emui 5.1.

17. EU is after Asia I think. Should not have massive delay.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
2. Good even in bright sun.

6. Gets very greasy with fingermarks. There is also a back protector. I keep mine in a case so took both off.

9. Signal good. WiFi excellent. GPS OK for car use but has a number of issues.

14. Case is strong and well built but not waterproof.

16. No troubles with mine.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Derpling:
I upgraded month ago from S7E to Mate 9, and won't look back, the S7E looks like a toy that is waterproof :)

IP68, Samsung Pay, better low light performance is the advantages S7E has, and bigger development community, though it didn't make the phone much better in my XP( i tweak kernels and settings as well).

Forget battery anxiety with the mate 9, it will last no matter what u do, camera is better than S7 in normal light and some bokeh effects are amazing, screen is crisp and bright, and ye big, battery is great.

Settings are a bit puzzling but you'll used to it, my only complaint is that the speakers lose quality under full volume, could be better but the stereo speakers are good enough as it is, and better software argument, though EMUI 5.1 might solve it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] macfuji:
Coming from S7 Edge and LG G5, no way I go back. Love the brightness of the screen in sun, quick fingerprint reader. Great support by HiCare chat. Back cover the best I have found, even Leica leather cover cannot beat it.

Rest is answered!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] intruda119:
Check youtube and use a google search.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ytgbg:
Really mate, you have to be that grumpy guy? Did you read my post? That's what I wrote:

"I did read a lot of reviews and watch a lot of video review, but I value real user experience here on XDA most, not some reviewer that is getting the phone for free to review and changing phones constantly."

Not to mention that review sites and youtube bloggers are not using this phone for months like users here on XDA and did not buy the phone with their hard earned money and they are changing devices every week/every few weeks and they are not going deep into user experience like people using the device for 3-4 months and not getting through updated and so on, not to mention many of them are biased towards some brands.

I think that many other people are in front of the same choice like me and this thread will help them to take the decision to buy or not to buy this expensive and relatively unknown model/brand. Also if I buy the phone I will edit my first post and give my personal answers.

Anyway, have a nice day and be positive mate :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Governa:
1. Yes, the Kirin 960 SoC is one of the best around.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.

4. Yes, 10x zoom added recently up from 6x. Very fast launch and focus.

5. No.

6. Opinions diverge. I find mine absolutely perfect.

7. Not in my experience.

8. I never had notification issues.

9. Signal is brilliant. GPS is perfect for car driving but you might find it not accurate enough if you're mapping a run.

10. I don't root so can't comment.

11. 5.1 beta is just an internal name. It will be released as 5.0 afaik. Nobody knows when.

12. Not that I know of.

13. There are 2 power saving modes. Performance mode is the normal mode.

14. None whatsoever.

15. Yes

16. Quite good in my opinion, but still room for improvement.

17. They're among the first to be released.

I know this question was asked before because I read it myself. But when I searched back I cannot even find the question or the answer.

This is what I want to do: when I check my email/internet/etc. I want my phone to look for wifi. Right now the phone is checking 3G/Edge, even when I have my 3G off.

Again, I am sorry but it's way too much info and the search came up empty.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] briggs81:
go through the settings your particular account in outlook and going to email setup and then advanced and then in the network conneection drop down change it to "the internet" or someting (which i assume would be activesync or wifi). I don't know if this will work or not. I usually keep mine on my data plan, so for me i choose "rogers internet" because when i hit send receive i want it to connect to my data plan to check the mail, you want opposite.

I am currently trying to get it so that outlook checks mail every 15 minutes only if I am on wifi, and if im not on wifi, no scheduled send/receive, but having a hrd time getting that to work.

Edit:- Didn't read the OP first.....sry
[Android Apps and Games] Steve One:
Hello Sir bought the pro version and really like it was using Nova Prime before. One thing I wish it had would be the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
[Android Apps and Games] rogersb11:
Thank you. Well you're in luck lol, option already present. In the app drawer search bar tap the icon on the top right for sort modes and hidden app settings
[Android Apps and Games] Steve One:
Thank you very much for the quick reply.

But I don't see anything in the search bar Sir.
[Android Apps and Games] Steve One:
Here's another
[Android Apps and Games] rogersb11:
Friend had this issue on his 1+, stock DPI is incorrect for those devices. I'll move the options soon but slightly adjust your dpi and you'll get the icon
[Android Apps and Games] Steve One:
I'm on a og Droid turbo my stock dpi is 640 I believe.
[Android Apps and Games] Steve One:
Really don't want to change the dpi some other apps are affected by this guess I'll just wait for the settings to be moved.
[Android Apps and Games] rogersb11:
Haha, yea I wouldn't change and KEEP mine either, I'm just saying you can hide your apps and go back if needed. Obviously this is obnoxious and I'll fix it when I finish a couple things I'm toying with but within a week you'll be good to go
[Android Apps and Games] Marabou57:
new update is up on the playstore!

take a look at
[Android Apps and Games] Steve One:
OK now I can see the advanced settings but when I try to hide apps from the drawer it force closes?

Hey ! Unread counter present in this launcher?

Hmm that's odd,I use it to hide the email app and seems to be working currently, I'll take a look. Try the latest update (today)

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDroid-BOND:
Hello Brothers,

It's been a long time (around 3+ years) that I was out of my school (XDA Forum). I am also a proud owner of OP3T.:laugh:

We are blessed with several great developers, contributors, and members who are bringing in the latest stuff for our devices (3 & 3T).:angel:

There are a few people like me who are facing a strange bug - "White Led with Black Screen and Nothing Responds (Freeze)" and the only way to get rid of it is to force reboot by pressing and holding the Power Button.:crying:

In last couple of days I tried a few things and since then I have not seen it coming again and thus wanted to share the same. A few members suggested that it can be a TWRP issue but its not only to that.

Work-Around (Temporary Fix)

0) Make a nandroid backup. It's even before the workaround starts so understand the importance.

1) Download the Latest Firmware (March 28th) or the "4.0.3 Firmware for your Device shared by @djsubterrain on his thread here - ."4.1.0 (Official Release) - 7.1.1 Flashable firmware & modem. Do not forget to thank him for his effort. It will proved to be a life saviour.

2) Download the TWRP developed by @eng.stk from his thread here - [KERNEL] [blu_spark r95 unified OP3/3T] [OOS 4.1.* / custom ROMs]. Thank him as well for all his hard work he has done for us and flash the downloaded TWRP.

3) The toughest part -

a) Boot in TWRP.

b) Go to Advanced > File Manager. Open It.

c) Go to "sdcard > Android. Delete it. Do not try to keep Obb for media folder. (Delete entire Android Folder)

d) You can keep the folder copied in PC.

e) For deleting in TWRP - Open folder > click on blue tick mark in bottom right corner > Select delete from option > Confirm Delete.

4) Not Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik/art.

5) Flash the firmware downloaded.

6) Now flash a new ROM that you want.

7) Flash the Gapps.

8) Flash the firmware again.

9) Wipe Cache & Dalvik / ART and boot to system.

10) First boot will take time, so have patience. Complete the setup and use the ROM. Report back if this works for you to check if this is the FIX or only a workaround.

I hope this help everyone of us who is bugged by the issue.

Conclusion & Solution

Once again thanks to all the Developers, Contributors and Members for the help and Moderators for the necessary cleanup:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lachstah:
I tried following these exact steps but whenever I try to wipe the data in TWRP the problem happens. It fades to black and white LED turns on after a little bit. I have no idea what to do as this just started happening today.

I can recreate this every time just by trying to wipe the data partition, is there any other way I could try to wipe it?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDroid-BOND:
Hi Brother,

Can you please flash the TWRP that's suitable for your device as given in the guide. Try to flash it first and then clearing the data.

Or you can also get the log through the process given here - Taking Log for Bug Report.

Please do get us the log to check.

Best Regards

Bond
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lachstah:
When I flash that TWRP that you linked and reboot to recovery it goes straight to the black screen with white LED before I can even do anything.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

I've also found that the problem occurs after opening Sync for reddit for a couple seconds. Also whenever I try to uninstall Sync it happens, but not any other app. Along with happening when I try to wipe data I think something might be happening with Sync that's causing this to occur whenever it tries to be modified or something. Really strange. I haven't had it happen in any other app yet or action other than those I have mentioned. Although flashing that TWRP does seem to trigger it as well. So I have no idea.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gibby1290:
Alternative:

I have had this issue multiple times, what I did to fix it was booting into fastboot, connecting to PC and using the command:

fastboot erase userdata

Fixed the problem instantly, although your going to lose all of your data of course.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lachstah:
But would I lose any of my internal storage or just app data? Because I have all of that backed up in titanium.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gibby1290:
Yes, it's the same as factory data reset. You'll lose all apps, music, photos, etc.

If your apps are backed up in titanium, make sure that the Titanium Backup folder in your SD Card is backed up on to your PC. Otherwise you'll lost that as well. :cowboy:
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lachstah:
Ok thanks so much. I think I fixed it. I just nuked the whole phone and wiped everything, reflashing TWRP and everything else. Wiping the data no longer causes the issue which is good however I'll have to use the phone a bit more once it's set up to see if it is totally fixed. Thanks for help both of you! :D
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] gibby1290:
Sure thing, I know it sucked not knowing what happened the first time this happened to me.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDroid-BOND:
Brothers,

Just reminding that restoring anything through Titanium Backup will cause you the same issues. So make sure before you restore anything.

Best Regards

Bond
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lachstah:
It's all been working fine without the issue but I've found that it is only showing 25gb out of my 64gb of internal storage available, any idea of what I can do fix this?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDroid-BOND:
Bro,

Thanks for the confirmation that its working.

Your screenshot is showing that data has used 52.4GB of space. Try formatting the internal storage and you will be good to go.

Best Regards

Bond
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lachstah:
But solid explorer says I have half of that
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDroid-BOND:
Bro,

Do not worry. Try checking it with ES Explorer or Root Explorer. If it shows less that the disk info then only you can go for formatting internal or else all is good.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lachstah:
So it is showing up the same in other explorers, how would I go about formatting internal storage? Is that done in TWRP or over fastboot or something?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDroid-BOND:
You can do that through twrp or through Backup & Reset option in settings.

But before doing so backup your data in pc because every thing from the internal storage will get erased and you will loose all files, music n photos or anything from internal.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lachstah:
So after I do it my system will remain the same with gapps/magisk and settings but I will just have to restore apps?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] SuperDroid-BOND:
No, only system and gapps will be there and I'll advice to flash magisk v12 again after formatting.

All other settings will be deleted and will be like first time.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] Lachstah:
Ok thank you so much for your help!

Any tried latest beta firmware for solve this problem ?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] zige:
Yeah and it wont solve. For me this happened only about two times per week. After OB4 firmware (newest) it happened already two times yesterday.

Have you tried following the guide. Please do follow and kindly confirm if this works for you.

Havent yet. I didnt have time until now. Gonna test it. But its hard to confirm before couple days because it dont happens to me everyday :)
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I agree and the best part is it comes without a prior intimation or appointment...[emoji13]

I've tested it and not got this return anymore. That's the reason, I've posted the guide for it.

BTW, I'll share one more method for this by tonight.

[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Brother,

Trust me, It has nothing to do with any ROM. It's something related to OOS Kernel only. I got the bug on RR, AOKP & AOSPExt. All on official ones. I tried almost all ROM in our forum and thus I can confirm it has nothing to do with ROM but yest with OOS Kernel, I am damn sure, it's the culprit.

Brother [MENTION=4656455]zige[/MENTION],

Any news on the working or not-working things in the last 2-3 days. It will be very helpful for users.

Hope it works....!!!:fingers-crossed:

Best Regards

Bond
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] zige:
Good day my friend. It actually looked like it works buy today i got it again. I did exactly as you told to do but no luck.

So you think its OOS kernel. Nothing what users can do like change kernel as i think everything is somehow based on OOS.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I don't think, that there's anything that can be done. Yes you're correct all are OOS dependent and thus can't get it work.

So either we need to live with it or we need to check ourselves for any solutions. Brother, is it possible to get log, if you can do that. I will first try to check what actually is behind this and then will ask my dev friends for the support.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] derbestimmer:
sorry but aren't we jumping to conclusions a bit fast here? 1. all roms you listed are aosp based (so there definitelly is a specific similarity between those roms) for example i have found no one with this bug on lets say cm14.1

2. still not everybody using e.g. asopext has it either (i can not remember siankatabg confirming it)

so please lets hold our horses framing culprits without evident proof. this will not bring us the solution anytime soon.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Brother,

Either you've quoted a wrong post or you haven't read it well.

Firstly, I've specifically said that it has nothing to do with ROM but definitely with the OOS Kernel.

Secondly, RR is based on LAOS (CM) and AOKP sources also sync with LAOS.

Thirdly, All ROMs I've mentioned are official ones and currently brother [MENTION=4837394]siankatabg[/MENTION], is making unofficial AOSP Extended ones.

Lastly, if you check AOSP Ext. Unofficial Thread and search then you can find several people including me reporting the same.

I hope this will clear the doubt clouds, if any.

Best Regards

Bond
