New OTA has been released for 7D-501L:

http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=7D-501L&firmware_page=0

7D-501LV100R001C151B002 (august 10th 2017) <incremental OTA>

7D-501LV100R002C100B105 (august 4th 2017) <full rom OTA>

7D-501LV100R001C199B006 (august 4th 2017) <incremental OTA>

7D-501LV100R002C100B105 (july 27th 2017) <incremental OTA>

WARNING I THINK THOSE UPDATES OFFER ONLY EMUI 2.3 (please confirm if you try them). SO LESS INTERESTING THAN EMUI 3 ROMS : TAIWAN B013 (with Limited languages) OR CHINESE B011 FOR 501L (with google to be installed on).

Of course all rom in this post are Kikat roms, lollipops roms for X1 are still betas and not bugs-free!

To install them, you have to be on a kitkat rom, and put the whole update.zip in a dload folder at the root of your external or internal SDcard. And then do a EMUI local update ('Settings', 'Updater', 'Menu' and 'Local update')

---

To download and install , you can also use Huawei Firmware Finder (Android app or Windows software)

for android, use the app + its proxy to receive an OTA, see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgw3d3fHTj5E33lNsLcCwcgoraZmfin7V and other tutorials videos on Youtube from several users.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Daffy5001:
Thank you

The BETA lollipop was buggy. It has been a long time since there has been an upgrade. Thanks will try it out. :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
It should be an update of European B103, but please confirm the EMUI 2. 3 feature. Thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Daffy5001:
Feedback

I've tried it. To make it work via the sd card i needed to copy the update.app from the modem directory out above. On the version i'm on B103 but after the upgrade it still says B103 but the kernel has changed. I downloaded the full OTA B105. Is this correct ?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Daffy5001:
Screen shot after the Full OTA B105 upgrade. Note only the kernel shows the 2017 update. Emui is 2.3 Build ware B103 and not B105.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Daffy5001:
Forgot to add that i was on version B103 before i upgraded to the B105. As there were a number of B105 links i chose the FullOTA on the remarks to use as the upgrade. Thanks.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] super_sonic:
I didn't succeed to upgrade to B105 from B103. There are a lot of files in update.zip and update.app is a only for the modem...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
new OTA incremental update available:

7D-501LV100R001C151B002 (august 10th 2017) <incremental OTA>

(so for device with C151B001 ? Anyway Huawei updater will let you ijstall if you want to try!)

In fact, update from this database (this is a view from huawei database extracted by Firmwar finder develloper) are not installable via official dload method (as they are OTA to get to your device). Sorry about wrong inital information :(.

BUT, the 7D-501LV100R002C100B105 (august 4th 2017) <full rom OTA> this one only could be installed with official dload method, see here)

To install the others, don't try dload offical method. But please use:

Huawei Firmware Finder (Android app or Windows software)

for android, use the app + its proxy to receive an OTA, see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgw3d3fHTj5E33lNsLcCwcgoraZmfin7V and other tutorials videos on Youtube from several users.

or

Huawei updater (Windows software, to use with Hisuite), as it now work for any huawei device (use the update file name and url, as found on database )

(install methods added to post 1 here)

[MENTION=8518307]YesofCourse[/MENTION] did post this question on another thread, I think it's for this one:

you should have put "7D-501L" to get this
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] YesofCourse:
Works? works in 501u? In what advantage of rom? "+" and "-" whats new?

When we have found these roms, tried to establish them, but couldn't

(sorry for my bad english)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
WARNING i THINK THOS UPDATE OFFER ONLY EMUI 2.3. SO LESS INTERESTING THAN TAIWAN B013 WITH ITS EMUI 3 (http://consumer.huawei.com/tw/support/products/downloads/detail/mediapad-x1-tw.htm?id=60006) . BUT PLEASE CONFIRM IT, IF YOU TRY!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] super_sonic:
Thanks, will try later.

But I tried dload method without success with new firmware 7D-501LV100R002C100B105; my firmware is 7D-501LV100R002C100B103...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
Try again but with the download link from : http://ministryofsolutions.com/2017/08/huawei-mediapad-x1-7d-501l-firmware-b105-emui-2-3-europe.html

Not the link given in http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=7D-501L&firmware_page=0

Those last ones are only installable with huawei firmware finder or huawei updater. (but you can try them with thos sofware if you want
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
For 501u, the chinese B011 kitkat EMUI 3 is far better(chinese B113 is lollipop, but unfortunatly buggy) . Forget this 501L B105 kitkat EMUI 2.3 ...

Changngs EMUI version will really boost your device.

To update your 501u, please read complete informations (google services and apps, custom mod..) . : https://plus.google.com/u/0/111535114647059116634/posts/cwr4NKANeQg
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] super_sonic:
Update.zip, even those given in ministryofsolutions, has not the framework of a full update firmware (update.app,...). It looks rather like an incremental update... It is the update.zip I tried to use...

Im going to give a try on huawei firmware finder or huawei updater, that I use on my X2...

Thanks

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

I tried b013 but very few languages are allowed by this firmware. But it has got EMUI 3...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
For those .zip without update.app, you have put the whole update.zip in the dload folder. And then do a local update ('Settings', 'Updater', 'Menu' and 'Local update') . IT was the same when I installed my full european B103 (wich was a 135 Mb incremental update for B102)

see here (point 3) also !

I've just check, and ministry of solution's huawei link for B105 is the same as the one in firmawer finder database. So definitly not installable with dload/update.app (so the site is wrong, I did correct post #!)

BUT if put the whole update.zip in the dload folder + do a local update works('Settings', 'Updater', 'Menu' and 'Local update'), that would be a great news to install all update.zip found on the firmware finder database! All OTA links for the database giving a "update.zip" file should be installable with EMUI updater )! Please give it a try on your X1 Let me know!

On my side as manual update disapear from EMUI 4+, for X2 devices I'll have to use huawei firmware finder or huawei updater, or reinstall local updater in EMUI 4. I might give a try at local updater reinstallation, so that would be a ne way to use update.zip OTA found in firmawer finder database

If you start from B103, that should work for sure. But please try first "put the whole update.zip in the dload folder + do a EMUIlocal update" first. Thanks!!

NB: The method 2 solution of this thread seems quite interesting to manually install ota update!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] YesofCourse:
understand. I sit on b110 (5.1) and everything suits (b113 brakes). I have so understood it rom for the Japanese market and perhaps it will be updated to 5 and will correct errors, though all the same.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
it's for chinese market, and the lollipop X1 roms stayed at a beta state for years now :( .
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] colbyb25:
I have a Pixel XL and ever since I loaded the final build of Android 8.0, I have been experiencing issues with Instagram Stories. When I record a new story, everything works fine but when it plays back the story, it is very choppy. Other people's stories play fine. Anyone else experiencing this too? Any thoughts?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] colbyb25:
Seems the issue also happens with Facebook Live when I record video within the Facebook app. Strangely I have no issues with recording and playing back videos within the camera app itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fireguy0306:
I know it's really early but i figured i'd put it out there.

Anybody know if the US Carrier's will allow and support Dual-Sim in their versions? I ask because i was hoping to use ATT's version to keep their Wifi Calling, HDVoice, etc as well as use Dual-Sim so i don't have to carry two phones around for work and personal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nizmoz15:
I’m curious too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] chrispyutec:
No dual sim for US peeps. I hate it and do not understand why we can't have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] force70:
Nope, if you want dual sim you have to buy exynos.

I dont get it either why they dont make dual sim models for north america.

I also dont get why F### they cant launch all the colours here either...

sent from my Note FE, S8 plus, or S6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fireguy0306:
Are you saying even the carrier unlocked us one won't have dual-sim... Damn
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
The color release is marketing and demand...they want to control the initial release. Sectioning colors to regions makes it easier to release...shortly after the high-demand release, we will probably see the other colors introduced. They have done this before with other devices. Sucks for those wanting to take advantage of pre-order deals. I wanted the deep blue but since it's going in a case, I got black and bought blue cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
They don't sell dual in the US due to carrier pressure. Although slightly less so than a few years ago the vast majority of US phone sales are through carriers giving them the power to dictate product to some extent.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] XATAGuy:
The U.S. Samsung web site is allowing pre-order of an unlocked variant; SM-N950UZVAXAA. The Best Buy web site shows this as a Snapdragon, dual-sim:

I have asked Samsung support for verification as I need unlocked, dual sim.

A chat with Samsung online states no dual Sim for US unlocked phones.

Info: Thank you for choosing to chat with us. An agent will be with you shortly.

Info: You are now chatting with Srilatha R.

Srilatha R: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Samsung Technical Support. How may I assist you?

You: Hi, I'm interested in purchasing your Note 8. I am considering the unlocked version as I have lines with Sprint and Verizon. Will the US version of the unlocked phone offer dual SIM capability so that I can use one device for both carriers?

Srilatha R: No, US version phones are compatible with single sim feature

You: That's a shame but thank you for confirming. Is there any way to get a version that offers the dual sim capability?

Srilatha R: No, Due to product design of the phone all the US version samsung phones are compatible with only single sim

You: Got it. Thank you.

Srilatha R: But you can try with international version phones

You: How would I purchase an international version?

Srilatha R: You can purchase it from third party websites such as amazon

You: Ok, that makes sense. I owned the Note 7 and am eligible for the trade-in credit. How would I purchase through Amazon and then still get the credit?

Srilatha R: Well, if you choose to trade in then , that can only be done by Samsung.

Srilatha R: As trade in offer is not eligible for other stores or websites

You: Ok, thank you for your help today
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Cool Person:
Why you want dual sim peopole.

Its hybrid which means your 200 gb sd card will not work with the second sim card. That is coming from a dual sim samsung user..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] browning:
That's good to know. I didn't understand that to be the case - probably due to the desire to have one device that would support lines from two different carriers. That's a shame though - many of us have personal devices and work devices that would, in an ideal world, be combined into a single device with the majority of needs met.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fireguy0306:
That is my exact use case. Not really a fan of having to carry around two phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Cool Person:
For average business user who do not need more than 64 gb of storage. The dual sim version will be a good choice.

Its hybrid sim thought meaning you chose either second sim or a an up to 256 gb sd card. You cannot use the 2nd sim with the sd card at same time.

You will have to order it from Amazon thought.

As a traveling person between 2 countries the dual sim is an advantage for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] patreek:
TL;DR - SM-N950UZKAXAA IS NOT DUAL SIM

Samsung Direct/USA or whatever you call it or whoever is being represented in Samsung.com/US has a listing during pre-ordering that the unlocked note 8 is dual sim. I even have a screenshot of that one.

However, same SKU - SM-N950UZKAXAA, is being sold in Best Buy. I did check both unlocked units in Black and Orchid Gray and as the store people have shown me, they aren't dual sim at all. Perhaps it was good riddance that the units are delayed in the shipping because I would be most likely returning that one eventually because there was some sort of deception on the item being sold. Now cancelled, perhaps I'll just get my Note 8 in few months time when the price is lower.

Guys , I've found this watchface maker for windows on Huami BBS site, it took me a while to register there and find it using google translate , so I'll post it here , if that's ok.

I can't post credits since I don't know chinese , so if anyone is kind enough to find it , I'll gladly edit post.

Also, if author of file on HuamiBBS didn't give a permission to share , which I didn't come across with google translate, I'll remove it. Anyways, I reckon it will be helpful in previewing your watchfaces, since it can import, edit, save , etc.

It has one exe and one dll which is english translation , I think. For me , it starts in english by default
[Amazfit] kwoodall:
It does have a number of bugs, and some features are quite oddly implemented, plus it doesn't match the actual layout you'll see on the watch, but it's a good tool for testing watch faces you've made with features that Fabio's site doesn't currently support.
[Amazfit] droidhd:
I would like to see some watchface maker that allow us to change icons color or even simply remove them. I found few watchface pictures from samsungs s3 that could be reproduced, but I miss that maker. Or it exist and I missed it? :)
[Amazfit] DRoma82:
For me it starts in Chinese, and I couldn't find where to change it... =(
[Amazfit] LadyFaerie:
Have you tried to change you PC language to English ? Someone told me that it could be the way to use the Face maker in English. I haven't tried it yet on my own... :confused:
[Amazfit] generationgav:
What additional features are there?
[Amazfit] deboopi2:
When saving watch faces I get the message 'object reference not set to an instance of an object'.

The first time I only had a background image but I did not select the image.

I think it works the same way for time hands but doubleclicking the time digits does not allow me to set something.

Any idea how to fix this?
[Amazfit] kwoodall:
Masks, multiple backgrounds, multiple fonts, etc
[Amazfit] GreatApo:
This is a limitation of the API. You can't make such a watchface for pace, unless it is an apk.
[Amazfit] deboopi2:
Wen I open an existing digital watch face I can see the actual time in the time digits and the clock is ticking. In the one I create I can only see an empty rectangle.

How to make sure the time is visible?

As some of you know, 3rd party SMS apps are currently bugged and do not recieve notifications (or messages at all) on devices running the T-Mobile build of the Moto Z2 Force software. After a little bit of testing, I've discovered that this is caused by the "Summit RCS Services" service that runs in the background. Through the normal system settings, you can't disable this service. However, using adb, you can disable this package and get 3rd party SMS working. You should still be able to get updates even with the service disabled.

Step 1: Enable USB Debugging

Step 2: Install the Android Platform Tools

Step 3: Using the terminal of your choice, once you've navigated to that folder (You can just type "cd" then drag and drop the folder into the command window on Windows and MacOS) type the following:

adb shell

Then, type the following command:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.summit.nexos.sdk.app.service

Finally, reboot the phone. 3rd party SMS applications should receive notifications.

You could also just wait for Lenovo and T-Mobile to push the official update to fix this issue, but who on XDA sits and waits when they can fix it themselves? :silly:
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
Can this be used to disable any app or service?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tidbits:
Yes just have to know the package name.

I disabled T-Mobile app this way.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] hawkye:
This was causing my issue with duplicate text messages when receiving a Group MMS. I uninstalled this RCS service and it fixed my Group messaging. It was driving me insane and I figured it was a TMobile APK causing it. I like RCS but would rather go without it than deal with these bugs.

I never had this issue.. I use textra pro

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] logikism:
yes and this is the second device....neither had an issue.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] cfriendr:
Interesting.

Were both devices on the August update? It's possible that the August security patch update fixed the problem. I haven't tested as I just keep the package disabled (since Pulse doesn't support RCS yet anyways and that's my main messaging app).
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] logikism:
Both phones were not on August update. Worked fine.

Got update, still worked fine. Never had an issue ever.

I've also used the tmo flash-all back to stock, worked fine.

Here's some pics while I wrote this...
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] cfriendr:
Interesting. It might be that Textra supports the setup that T-Mobile requires, whereas Pulse SMS (which doesn't support any RCS) and Android Messages (only supports Universal RCS) are not compatible with T-Mobile's service. I only tested those two apps.

Would you mind trying to use Android Messages and see if that one gets incoming notifications without any package disabling?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] logikism:
No problems...
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] cfriendr:
Interesting. It must have been a server side fix then, recently.

It doesn't affect everyone. Neither does the Split messages happening. Motorola engineers pinpointed the problem with notification alerts, but are still looking to fix some other message related problems.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] revulv:
This continues to be an issue even after using this method. Worked for maybe a night after deleting the -user line (it was saying that command could not be found). But alas, today I'm no longer receiving alerts.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] cfriendr:
did you type --user or -user?

You need to make sure you do double hyphen to indicate you're uninstalling it for your user profile.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] revulv:
This is what I'm getting. Disregard the command I missed typed above the last command. I've tried this on my computer as well. Everything was working, but only occasionally do I get alerts now. It's odd.

Oh my God I've been searching for weeks trying to figure out why no 3rd party SMS apps worked on my girlfriend's Moto Z2 Force. I work at T-Mobile and absolutely love the Un-Carrier but I'm absolutely PISSED that this is even a problem in the first place!!! This is unacceptable of Lenovo and T-Mobile!! This has been a problem since SEPTEMBER and it's now DECEMBER and there's still no update to fix this? Not everyone knows how to use ADB... I feel so bad for those who are stuck... I'll try disabling Summit RCS Service and report back if it works. Even the stock SMS app is buggy as can be! I'll be calling into customer service and dealer support to make sure they know of this issue... Unacceptable.

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Confirmed that this works! I'm not getting SMS notifications on my girlfriend's Moto Z2 Force on T-Mobile with the latest software update as of December 6. It's absolutely pathetic that we have to do this in order to get 3rd party SMS apps to work, and I CANNOT sell this phone to anyone at work because I'm not allowed to use ADB on customer phones and I don't want the chargeback on my check. Sorry Lenovo, you've lost a LOT of customers because of something stupid simple. But, Samsung gets another point in my favor. The Moto Z2 Force is an EXCELLENT phone with FENOMINAL hardware and the latest SOC, but even at $375 w/ a free projector mod, software problems need fixed in order for hardware to function properly....
