True.. i'd go for the one plus 3T but i'm not one to put 400€ in a phone.

Well the testers only had it for a couple hours so yes i'd trust someone who's using it everyday more...

How do explain this huge drop of price ? Is it because it was overpriced in the first place or because there are issues ? :rolleyes:

Don't you find sometimes the phone to be too big ? I'm using a 5,2 inches phone currently and don't really know if i'm ready to go 5,5 to be honest, is there a huge difference in terms of the visual confort you get vs the fact that the phone will be more cumbersome ?

When it was launched, Nubia hired Cristiano Ronaldo to promote it. So they had great plans for the phone. My guess is that everybody was launching 18:9 phones and Nubia was stuck in-between. As far as I can see, all phones launche by Nubia since then, are 18:9 phones. Nubia M2 is a good $400 phone launched at the wrong time.

I've been using big phones since a long time ago, so I cannot comment on that. What I can tell you is that it is a slim phone (as slim as an iPhone). It is smaller than an iPhone 7 plus, but still a big phone.
[General Questions and Answers] RAWSOME:
the screen is fine in sunlight, it is just that color/contrast wise it is not good. Autobrightness is rather slow too, I had a ZTE phone in the past and it had the same slow autobrightness. I guess the color issue is only really a problem with pictures and videos. It is also not the most responsive screen sometimes it doesnt register a key input. In the MIUI rom it is really bad but on stock rom it is actually not a big deal.

As for the fingerprint sensor, with temperatures above 20°c it is ok. Indors I never had any serious problems but outdoors in the winter months it really became almost useless. I also have some Huawei and Xiaomi phones and there the fingerprint scanner is miles better. As for your objections regarding the placement of the FP sensor, I see it exactly the other way around. :D

The reason the nubia M2 is so cheap now is not because it has major problems (it doesnt except for being stuck on an ancient android) It was just not competitive and ridiculously overpriced.
[General Questions and Answers] dante0001:
Yes according to reviews, the screen tend to produce "dark" colors.

As for the responsiveness of the screen does it look like this ? youtube.com/watch?v=k90zo6wNE-Y it can be a real bother when doing pretty much everything...

During winter i'm wearing gloves so i guess it would'nt bother me much :D

About the placement of the fingerprint sensor how can you see it the exact other way, don't you agree that when it is in the back of the phone at least three of your fingers must change position in order to activate it ?

All in all would you advise me to go for the A5 2017 instead ?
[General Questions and Answers] sm00th4f3:
Very beautiful formulated opinion of yours. Glad to read it.

I'm on Windows 10 64bit Version and i managed to get everything running, sure..it isn't that straightforward as linux but i use win10 for several reasons.

Using the Guide that you linked, is indeed very helpful. But some are just not into using pen drives and installing linux on it, even it is quite easy and fast to do.

So using windows10 and its stupid drivers, is the first thing many people do.

I do share your opinion though that linus is very straightforward; Win10 is based on it after all...

Final quote, for the nubia m2, you can simply download google android platform tools from its Android SDk, which is downloadable separately.

And then the nubia drivers...enable usb debugging

connect the phone, allow access to pc

and do your stuff.

Can one of you guys paste here Nubia apps (including NeoSafe) from China rom with nubia ui 5.0? Prefer the latest one, from 2.04. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] estuardo4:
I have it since last January.

I hope to have money soon to buy a Oneplus phone, but for now, this Nubia is doing it. The only thing that I regret when I bought the phone is that I didn't buy the cheap case. The golden borders are just hideous.
[General Questions and Answers] dante0001:
So i went to the store and took a good look at the A5 2017, turns out its too small for me and the colors are just way too flashy, my eyes were hurting after 10 min..

Now i really want to get the nubia but i'm just afraid of all the glitches and bugs.. don't wanna end up with an unusable phone

Please would you say you're satisfied with the phone (forget about the price) ? And is it your primary phone ?
[General Questions and Answers] estuardo4:
I'm very satisfied and it is my primary phone.

I don't know why are you looking for alternatives. It is a $400 USD phone that is selling for $160. At $400 was way overpriced, but at $160 it has no competition, compared to several other phones from China at the same price.

No phone is perfect, all have glitches and bugs. And if a phone is perfect, we, users at xda, will always try new ROMs and tweaks that can render a perfect phone useless.
[General Questions and Answers] dante0001:
Yeah i guess you're right but then again there's the question of durability..

Is the screen good for heavy reading ? (ebooks, manga scans...)
[General Questions and Answers] estuardo4:
Some users are complaining about the screen. It is well known that is a regular AMOLED screen. It has some issues that you've read on other forums for sure.

I don't have any complain about the screen though. The cheaper phones with amoled screens have 1280x720 of resolution. Even the N2 from Nubia has this resolution amoled screen.

So yes, for me, I've been using the M2 for reading a lot and have no problem or complain.
[General Questions and Answers] dante0001:
So how would the screen compare to say redmi note 4 or mi a1 ?

And btw which case should i go for this one : https://www.banggood.com/fr/Bakeey-...-p-1243929.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN or this one : https://www.banggood.com/fr/Bakeey-...-p-1268950.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN ?

Thanks again ! Hard to get reviews from real users on this phone..
[General Questions and Answers] estuardo4:
About the screen, I have no idea as I haven't have the opportunity of testing neither of those.

About the case, the second one is the one that comes when you buy the bundle. It doesn't look sturdy, but it is slim and, best of all, covers the golden borders.
[General Questions and Answers] dante0001:
Alright good to know

To be honest i was getting ready to buy it yesterday, until i found some comments on youtube saying that the fingerprint scanner actually doesn't serve any purpose since anybody can unlock it even if they didn't register their fingerprint

and then i also found this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ThK_0_S-1k

what do you think about that ? :/

so what does smart lock do ?
[General Questions and Answers] BlueFlame4:
Smart Lock is Google's implementation of additional unlock features. You can set the device to stay unlocked if connected to a certain BT device or if you are at a certain location. Thus it will skip fingerprint unlocking ;)
[General Questions and Answers] dante0001:
oh okay

so you think that's what happened in the video i posted ? :cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] BlueFlame4:
Yes. If the FP scanner was non-functional there would have been more complaints than just a random video on the internet.
[General Questions and Answers] dante0001:
I guess

but pretty sure no one tries to unlock it before registering a print :D

So maybe ppl just never noticed :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] BlueFlame4:
I don't get it, sorry. If you have no fingerprint registered it will of course not work and the phone will just stay unlocked. So could you perhaps explain what your problem with that is? :D
[General Questions and Answers] dante0001:
Well on the video the guy manages to unlock the phone with his friend's ear, now i don't know if his phone is defective or something, and until now i thought yeah it's just a random video on the net, but i saw yesterday a comment on a test of someone complaining about the fingerprint scanner : here's the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP2MdtD57SM

And here's the comment : (from yesterday)

il y a 1 jour

I bought this phone for my wife as had a GOOD reviews. I got Xaiomi Redmi Note 4 so I could compare those 2 phones. Nubia has a good display and it is good looking phone, good front camera with display screen flash option - and that's all positives... Rest are only NEGATIVES: Battery life much worst them my Note 4, phone is outdated, rear CAMERA IS HORRIBLE!!! (has got many options but quality of pictures are below criticism... and last thing FINGERPRINT unlock is some kind of joke!!! EVERYBODY can unlock the phone if sliding FINGER up and down!!﻿

Germakrom v2.10 + Talkback

Hi, I'm (partly) blind, so I need Talkback, but the fools of ZTE/Nubia somehow managed to kill it. it's in the global rom, but is not in the settings, so this phone is quite useless for people with dissabillities :(

is it fixed in Germakrom v2.10? If not I'd be sooooooo happy is someone could fix it!

A humble n00b
[General Questions and Answers] estuardo4:
I think you're giving waaaaaaay too many thoughts about the phone.

The fingerprint scanner works just fine. I tried with a couple of friends, a pet, their ears (just out of curiosity) and the phone kept locked. This is a popular phone, so it is prone to ship with a few defective ones. If it was a common problem, and since the M2 has been selling since last June, I think that would be noticed after ten months by several more users.

And if fingerprint unlock does not work reliable on your phone, you can lock your apps if you want as an extra layer of protection, as it is build in the OS.

But anyway, as soon as we told you that it is a fine product, you'll keep looking on youtube for other defects on videos posted with less than 1000 views each.

I don't know what to tell you. It is a really cheap phone, better than the competition. We're not talking about a $1,000 USD one. If you don't like it, don't buy it. And if you buy it and does not work as you want, sell it and buy another brand. Snapdragon processor, 4GB of RAM, FHD AMOLED screen, better quality, and all for $160, I don't know what you want.
[General Questions and Answers] dante0001:
Lol thank you !

I wish i knew what i wanted :eek:

But i think i'm gonna go with the meizu M6 note... i kinda do regret the amoled screen and the usb c but the meizu has more style and better accessories available. Comes with nougat but don't know about updates.
[General Questions and Answers] estuardo4:
It is a good option indeed.

What you never mentioned is what other phones did you have. Once you have a phone with amoled screen, aside of any Samsung model (I hate Samsung as a company and I will never buy a phone from them), you'll never go back to LCD. IMO.

MIUI Pro

Hello, I'm trying to install MIUI Pro since a long time ago. I've tried the latest weekly builds and the stable version. The ROM installs fine, I can access and configure it with no problem. The problem that I have is installing GApps. No mater what I'd try, I always end up in a boot loop installing from recovery. New versions of GAps, old versions, nano, aroma, pico, etc. Nothing works. I don't know if any of you have installed MIUI Pro and GAps successfully and can give me a tip.

Thank you.

I explained to you what you have to do, if you have Smart Lock on, the device is unlocked with any finger if you try repeatedly, if you disable it it will only be unlocked with the finger you have programmed to unlock, I hope I was clear this being a bug of UI4. 0

The good news is, I now have a replacement machine and should be able to jump back into working on this very soon!

Graet you have a new computer, a occasion to make a new windows 10 1803 install that came out this week.

i can tell you that everithing is working without any issues on a clean install of the latest win 10 1803 release.

When updating from older version i quarantee that you will encounter several problems , i tryed to update and could not reach my NAS annymore,and had some M2 driver issues, and some programs did not work properly.

With a new clean install with the latest win 10 version 1803 everything will work like a charm, even a resmed program i am using for my sleepapnea worked and did not in the earlyer win 10 versions:)

for the M2 it will work in one time without any issues i even had issues to let work the chinese recovertool in the version before the update

Thanks for the work you will put into making a custom rom for the M2 for now i am using germak rom 2,10 and is the best untill now because everything works ok.

In my opinion Nubia did a great job , unfortunatly they did not provide the M2 with a android stock rom, on pure android this phoen will certainly will be a lot faster and snappyer.

So i hope someone will succeed to make a Rom for the M2 that will be very close to pure android 6.1, so launcher removed and all chinese bloatware left on the Rom, it certainly will be the best rom

because nothing beats stock android in performance ,and it is also a better base to make custom roms from it. set you`re study first !! :)
[General Questions and Answers] tuxdude143:
Oh the computer will be more than capable of handling what I need it to here haha.

I hope that you can test this ROM, even if it doesn't have your language. For me, I always use English, even though Spanish is available there. It is a great ROM, with great battery life for my use.
[General Questions and Answers] rolandvb:
Thanks for you reply

my batterylife is ok, and i doubt if will be significantly better then with the germak rom ,i only have to charge my phone every 2 day`s with some apps persistend running in the background.

as i am a big fan of stock android i think this rom will not add significant options for me, i am always using nova launcher and some exposed modules and can costumize my phone just the way i want to

i hate other launchers so i don`t change roms for other looks and in my opinion nothing beats Nova Launcher,the icons on all roms are really to big and i like ot have full control on how everuything works and looks

i did add some extra shortcuts with the app i found on the 4PDA Russian forum called more shortcuts

with this app you can add shortcuts of hidden options and can manage dolby audio and use turbo acceleration that are hidden and some more direct shortcuts.

when changing the setiings in dolby audio to music the sound does improve significantly on the germak rom

I also did test the extreme mod, extreme music pro on my M2 phone and is also working very well it has viper and tons of other options to enhance the sound.

I did work almost 2 day`s to have the system ans looks that i want on my M2 and have no issues and everthing is working like it should , whith other custom roms there are still issues

and i have none at all and everything looks and works like i want to

Nubia did a very good job with they`re rom but i always prefer stock android ,some exposed mods are not working because the build in launcher is still interfearing with it

i hope if someone can tell me if there is a way to disable the nubia launcher or even compleetly remove it from the system , but i think this will not be possible because of some dependancies

thanks for your hardwork,

i already try this ROM and overall this is a good and stable rom, i only found a few bug like :

1. Auto Brightness not work, even if i close the proximity sensor, the screen still wont dimmed

2. banking application can't be used because it's detected this phone rooted even if magisk already set to hidden (in official rom, banking apps still work even if i root the phone, just need to hide magisk)

for now, i will use this rom for daily and i still want to test battery consumption, i hope it will have same performance with the official stock ROM
[General Questions and Answers] estuardo4:
1. It is working for me. Did you do a full wipe before trying it? It is necessary to do a full wipe. Factory restore is not enough.

2. My banking app is working. No problems there. But this may be caused for different reasons. My banking app haven't worked out on other rooted phones. It is really picky, but with the M2 and Magisk is working, I don't know why.
