[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] paddymcg1:
I'm using a P8 Lite 2017, and the 12MP camera is amazing, so I can only imagine the Honor 6X is even better. I came from a Galaxy Note 4 (Snapdragon 805 and 3GB RAM) and I can assure you that the Kirin 655 is well optimized. I'd say go for the 6X and have money to spare. You won't be disappointed
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Shoots awesome pictures, it just lose some points on photos with low light. Details are wonderful! The Kirin handles the phone in an excellent manner. The really weak point is development community
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] paddymcg1:
I agree completely. Fingers crossed that our devices receive Android 8 :D
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Fingers crossed that the Oreo-EMUI fusion won't be worst than Nougat, more than everything :cowboy: battery performance was way better optimized on Marshmallow than on Nougat... Because if Huawei fails on this, i prefer to remain on Nougat
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] paddymcg1:
I find battery life with the 3000mah battery in my P8 Lite 2017 mediocre. The phone shipped with Nougat out of the box so I don't have experience with the Kirin 655 on Marshmallow. However, my Huawei P8 had great battery life on Marshmallow even though it used a power hungry Kirin 930 and had a substantially smaller battery. Nougat and EMUI 5 is brilliant however as it has the app drawer option finally available. I also like the quick toggles and notification shade. I wish we had the transparent notification shade and more gestures like the high end devices. Rooting is very risky at the moment as there is too many steps. It's disappointing that the UI elements were disabled in the software :(
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
What is the price difference between these two models on your region. That is also one of the biggest factor for comparison.

Camera - is better on 8 and does well woth same MP of pixels for rear cam amd performs well in low light as well. With that said, 6X is definitely not a bad option for camwra, it does well dor sure.

Battery -better on 6X, i think, with 3340 mAh but as honor 8 has a smalled screen, it may be neck to neck here.

Design- both has it own cons and pros. 8 is simply awesome in blue but with glass design you may need to be careful as it may be slippery. On the other hand, 6X looks stunning in metal body but camera bump is bad and could be damagee easily if not managed. Design wise, 8 is better on any day.

Custom rom development- 8 has got many roms than 6X and i dont we may see much here for 6X.

Android O update- not officially disclosed but 8 will get (99.99%) and there are lot of confusion on 6X update but it should get (99.98% LOL).

Screen size- 5.2 of Honor 8 is much handy and easily carried in pocket than 6X but if you dont have issues with 5.5 inch screen.

Dual sim- your region may not have dual sim support (Indian variant has this issue)

Honor 8 was a upper mid range flagship level phone and 6X is excellent mid range model.

Rest your choice :good:
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
I agree, the drawer is way better, using a launcher could help even if this wouldn't happened already with the upgrade to EMUI 5 but giving the chance to the user to choose the home style is a must. For transparent notification menu, there's a voice in the local.prop file in root/system/emui/lite/prop that with a little change of a Boolean value from true to false, gives transparent notification panel and enables the camera to shoot raw pictures (if didn't enabled already by default), but could have an impact on UI with some lags while scrolling. I had rooted my phone 3 weeks after that i bought it and even if harder than other phones, it was essential to enable an adblock and another feature not available by default on all 6X models, it's the call record feature. Some countries have it enabled from beginning, other not because more restrictive in privacy laws. But here on XDA i found everything that was necessary to do it :)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
By the time Honor 8 was released, it was a high end flagship level phone. But since OEMs are very quick, it is considered as mid-range now. :rolleyes:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahya69:
This morning, whatsapp suddenly started crashing, and in the log I found the following error message:

09-15 07:17:09.827 7242 7392 E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Jid 491738033179@s.whatsapp.ne is not fully qualified; should end with [MENTION=1019801]s.w[/MENTION]hatsapp.net

I must confess I have no idea what a Jid is. Obviously it is missing one letter (ne instead of net), but why is that, and more importantly, what can I do about it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahya69:
So my son has now deleted all data and restarted from scratch, after which whatsapp resumes functioning. But I would have rather found out what this is. Strange that I haven't found the answer anywhere on the net
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lena23:
Yeah, reinstalling apps or deleting cache/data is the best solution for these kind of errors. I believe something went wrong while you were installing/updating the app and some files has broken. Sometimes these errors can happen because of other applications too.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] SelcuKKubur:
Hi There ,

Im using 4.5.10 Firmware Oxygen OS , I have a bug on my phone ı have setted fingerprint and PIN to secure my phone.

but when I try to unlock my phone dont ask me Pın password , but actually already setted pin password.its not secure.

did someone face with that problem ? I wanna use both fingerprint pass and pin pass.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nxss4:
Why would you want that???

Pin lock is just a backup if the fingerprint unlock is not working.

When you put your finger on the homebutton it's scanning your finger and unlocking your phone, it's not a lockscreen bypass, at all.

Your phone is working like it should, a mod can close this thread
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] NorthernLight_:
Edit: misunderstanding
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] SelcuKKubur:
Not actually miss understhanding , maybe I couldnt explaine good.

I mean when Im using fingerprint to unlock on my phone.When I wake the phone with power button if I dont use my finger to unlock when I slide up .. phone unlock.. if I dont use my finger how phone going to unlock pin already setted.

I must be cant unlock but if I dont use fingerprint to unlock.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] AnDrOiDnEoV:
I think you have smart lock option ON. Turn it OFF in settings-->security&fingerprint.

Also it is hard to read your English, please translate it from Google Translate and then paste.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJ_bab:
If I remember correctly, Android Nougat Custom ROMs were out withing weeks of official release of it.

I'd like to know why there is delay for Android Oreo
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEVILOPS 007:
There are some out. They are just in alpha testing mainly. Although there are some daily driver ready ones out. The delay is likely that I think not all the sources and device trees for updated to the AOSP project as quick and all in one go as nougat. I built a rom a couple of days ago and had some issues but after an AOSP update I was able to build an Oreo ROM fine with no issues.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I just posted this elsewhere lol when a new version of Android drops, custom roms take quite awhile to update.

If you follow specific dev teams, you'll notice they take their time to release after new Android updates. Others, have fewer features or use AOSP, and they'll be quicker to update. Dev teams are testing features, seeing what code is deprecated, what features can be dropped due to low use, etc. A minimum of two to three month wait is normal for some roms to update. If you think they are taking awhile, help them out. Otherwise, enjoy the wait cuz this is a hobby for everyone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJ_bab:
thank you both. I guess I'll have to wait more patiently like I've been waiting for xposed

I was particularly looking for something similar to S-AOSP as that won't be continued to Oreo

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sunseaker:
I'm trying to set up my Wizard to only send e-mail. I don't want to receive e-mail. I can only see a send/receive option in the settings.

Reason I don't want to receive is that I get too much mail (a lot of it is spam) and I don't want to wait to receive 100s of useless e-mails just to send one.

I've tried not setting up a POP account but that doesn't work as it keeps prompting me for it when I try send e-mail.

Any ideas.

Also on another note, are there any anti spam filters for WM5/6? I don't have server side spam filtering so must rely on client spam filtering. Something which Thunderbird does great on a desktop.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] George_mob:
Dear all, nice to meet you all.

I have recently purchase a Huawei P10, it is my first android device for years, I was an iPhone user for many years, so, please forgive me for my ignorance.

After setting up the P10 with my Apps and everything, an update was appeared in order to be installed (it was about 600MB and the name was VTR-L09... ). On the installation process, I got a Message:

"Software Install Failed!

Failed to check the update package.

Please download the package again".

After that, in any attempt for restarting or power on the device I was getting the below error:

Your Device has Failed verification and may not work properly.

Press Volume key to continue

Press volume Up key up to 3 seconds to enter erecovery to restore your device.

Your device will stοp start, if there is no operation

I push the Volume Key to continue, the device boot successfully with no other problems at all. After some minutes a new Update package received the name was VTR-L09...(FULL) and was about 2.7GB!

After successfully installing the above package, everything was fine, the Verification Failed message was disappeared.

Could you please tell me how is this possible to happen on Brand New device with everyting in Stock? Do I have to worry for something?

thank you for your help

George
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] M1chiel:
Can be many things. Maybe the first OTA file got corrupted during download. The good thing is that the recovery reverted the upgrade, which enabled you to boot and download a new OTA. This new one included the full rom; the first was basically a patch.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] deksawyer:
This happened to me a couple of nights ago on a new phone as well.

I was attempting to roll back firmware versions to try and fix the Play Store install/update problem, but something went wrong and it never happened. Received the same red error message at every restart. I eventually managed to install a small patch type update and it's back to normal, but I still have issues with the Play Store.

I think the boot loader became unlocked, somehow, and that's what flags up the error message. Again, not really sure.

D.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] M1chiel:
Bootloader unlock requires a special code, so that wouldn't happen accidentally. Phones with an unlocked bootloader also show a 'this device cannot be trusted' message during boot. In addition they do not receive updates anymore, I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
*EDIT 2018 January so you don't need to read 7 billion pages of this thread*

It took 3 months but I finally figured out how to get T-Mobile Wifi Calling to work properly on the N950N's firmware.

Please see this thread for the patch updates: [MOD] Exynos T-Mobile CSC Wifi Calling, VoLTE etc for N950N / N950F

Trying to get wifi calling working with my SM-N950N (South Korean model from SK Telecom) to work on T-Mobile here, and as I understand it we need the proper CSC flashed.

Now, I probably am just overlooking something (hopefully) but can't seem to get this phone to take. I downloaded both firmwares from Sammobile (paid for a month premium membership),

pulled the cache.img.ext4 file out of the TMB CSC tar.md5,

pulled the PIT file out of the Korean CSC .tar.md5,

in the PIT changed the file name from cache.img (original) to match the TMB file name cache.img.ext4 and adjusted the partition size and block value for the CSC partition,

adjusted the block values for the 4 partitions listed after it to account for the double sized new one

built a new .tar.md5 with the modified Korean CSC PIT file, the TMB cache.img.ext4 file, and the omr.img file that was in the original Korean CSC .tar.md5

I tried this with and without Re-partition checked, tried adding the remaining files into each field (BL, AP, etc) along with it, and tried an old 1.87 version of Odin (mainly trying to use 3.12.7 from Sammobile).

No matter what I try Odin errors immediately saying that repartitioning failed.

Any suggestions as to how I can get this to flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] leotorjeman:
following, Also have the South Korea version and i want to Change Csc and debrand it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
been poking around with a few things at work today, was able to get some settings changed by granting an app secure write permissions over ADB but I am even more convinced that the CSC needs to be flashed somehow. I got into some currently-hidden menus with settings for IMS, VoLTE, and WiFi calling but some of them crash if you try to enable it, others are disabled, and others pretend to be doing something before reverting back to 'off'.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
I'll look into this more tomorrow and ask on Sammobile to broaden the knowledge pool.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] henklbr:
On the SM-N950N you can only flash -N- firmware!

Don't mess around with other FW's!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
I know from experience and XDA that this is false. I'm not sure if you're aware of what we do here on XDA but flashing different and custom firmware is the name of the game.

If you're afraid of that, best stick to your OEM updates and keep misinformed comments to yourself.

Can anyone who knows about this stuff think of what step i may be missing here? I don't understand why it won't repartition in Odin, but as far as I can tell this should be working since i adjusted the sizes in the PIT file to match the larger CSC partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] henklbr:
I know exactly what I'm talking about: I'm NOT a NOOB!

I'm talking about OFFICIAL Firmwares, NOT Custom-ROM's (which will trigger KNOX!)

"Mis-informed comments"? Well: talk to Samsung engineers -> they know these stuff better than you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Well sir, you are replying to my thread with false information. I am working to flash a USA T-Mobile CSC to my Korean model phone. It can be done, and I am asking for people who know more about this than I currently do for suggestions.

You obviously don't know at least more than me, since you felt it prudent ti post your false claim that only firmware created by Samsung for a specific model can be flashed to that model. I respect your right do do whatever you want with your phone, but your words are not true and you're not helping anyone by posting them in my thread here.

I never said I cared about KNOX (which I don't, I have a phone sold in a country on the other side of Earth, and I am on XDA which generally means I prefer modifying my devices).

Thank you and good day, but please don't post false information. People can flash whatever they want to their phones, regardless of what you or Samsung might wish.

Oooo who's right? Look forward to seeing the outcome of this...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xfaega:
It might have something to do with different processor. The US CSC is for snapdragon and the SK CSC for the Exynos. Just a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Yeah, I had suspected that but on the S8 forums someone specifically said that CSC were universal and that you can switch between them on Snapdragon and Exynos models.

In any case, I did finally get it to work via flash able zip but also learned that the CSC on these latest flagship models is just a folder /system/csc/ that you can overwrite the entire contents of with a file manager once you have root.

After that and a reboot, phone info apps now show the correct available CSCs but still show SKC as the loaded one so I'm close but 1 step away. The IMS settings app has all the T-mobile data now, but I still can't confirm VoLTE or wifi calling and that settings app shows no IMS profiles registered still.

Getting close, I just wish one of these smart developers would give me a hand so I knew more what I was doing :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
per this thread: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71192951&postcount=5226

I fixed the folder and file permissions, as well as replaced the OMC folder contents to match a T-Mobile phone as well.

That REALLY made it angry. upon reboot I couldn't get any cell service and it said there was no SIM card installed, on top of other Korean provider apps now appearing (instead of just the SK Telecom apps that were initially visible).

So I'm guessing that these phones go by the OMC rather than CSC but since replacing that made it not work at all I'm a little unsure of how to proceed.

I copied the stock OMC files back over, fixing permissions per that thread, rebooted and now I'm back to where I was before replacing the OMC folder contents. Phone works fine, i get fast LTE but still no wifi calling or VoLTE that I can tell, and the IMS is not registering (which is probably the cause of both).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
After reading this thread about the S8's: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/help/adding-att-volte-wifi-calling-t3599439/page5

I copied the Tmobile OMC files over again, fixed permissions, and edited /efs/imie/mps_code.dat, and changed it to TMB and rebooted. Got the Tmobile boot screen instead of SK Telecom (along with annoying T-jingle sound), but phone app FQs indefinitely, no network service, and I can't view mobile networks. Trying to view more connection settings closes the settings app.

however, Phone Info app now shows Original CSC: TMB, Firmware CSC: XAA, Active CSC: TMB but Product Code, Available CSC Codes, and Mobile Operator are now blank.

Getting really close here, but it seems like there are probably some other files that need to be copied over, and I am not sure what they are. Thinking perhaps stuff to do with the T-Mobile variant's apps/settings apps.

Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Good news - almost everything is working thanks to the good folks in the S8 forums per this CSC changer zip: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/sam...lashable-csc-selection-v1-1-0-t3636739/page31

On a hunch I tried to just run it and see what happened. After repackaging his zip after replacing the XAA and TMB omc folders within it from those from an SM-N950U T-Mobile ROM, I used my modified version to update to TMB and this time no crashing on bootup, LTE still working, Wifi still working, and as far as I can tell VoLTE is working because it didn't drop me from LTE to 3g when making a voice call, though I do not see a VoLTE icon or any VoLTE menu options still.

Not sure if working: Wifi Calling, as I don't see an icon or menu options either, but running the Tmobile WFC settings app with a shortcut app showed that it was enabled but the toggle is greyed out, but I made a call with mobile data supposedly turned off and WiFi on and it said it was an HD Voice call in the dialer. Oh and the dialer claims to be new and for video calling, but I don't know anyone on Tmobile with video calling to test that out.

If I can confirm that WiFi calling is somehow working then this solves all the problems for us importing Exynos models.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
well I read over that thread again and it said to get Wifi Calling working on Tmobile to first flash the ZTO CSC first, reboot and let the phone finish booting, then go back to TWRP and flash the Tmobile CSC and you should be able to enable wifi calling with a shorcuts app to launch a Wifi Calling Activity action but I still don't think it's working. Also I am looking at the ZTO CSC stuff and not seeing why adding it first would make any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
I'm pretty sure this was just coincidental. After baking my antenna circuit board at 250 F for 30 mins the signal is not nearly as poor and doesn't waver between -90 and -130m, it stays pretty stable at -90 (in my test spot at home where the Note 5 gets about -75 dBA mind you). I'm going to throw it back in the oven at 350 or 360 for a bit and see if that fixes the issue altogether. Didn't realize how hot the solder needs to be to fully melt for reflowing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
When you first saidn you tried using a hair dryer to reflow, I wanted to tell you that it won't get hot enough but I forgot. 350°F is still most likely not hot enough to melt lead free solder, well for reflow which will need a higher temp than just melting new solder.

You might have to get closer to the 450°F but a kitchen oven will be different so you'll have to experiment & I'm sure tge board is thin. I don't know what the board looks like but be careful, if it has SMD components on both sides, stuff might just start falling off depending on how you have it held while attempting reflow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
it does have them on both sides, though I'm hoping to just barely reach the point of melting, enough to fix whatever bad connections are present but not enough that the tiny chips on the bottom fall off. I suppose if one were to wrap the aluminum foil well enough it would hold everything in place.
