Recently bought mate 10. Compare to my current mate 9, I noticed the mate 10 screen brightness isn't as bright as the mate 9. Wonder why manufacturer decrease the maximum brightness of newer phone.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] warea:
Max brightness is reached only when in auto mode+sunlight. Check the gsmareana review. Otherwise indoors the brightness is lower and cannot be manually toggled to reach the max brightness the display is capable off. Personally the brightness is more than enough for me in real usage. I use auto brightness and toggle it to about 50% brightness.

I have a situation with m600 when powering on theres a green screen like the bootscreen but all green and it only shows ipl spl and os. the operator logo has gone it wont connect to active sync from OS i can get usb bootloader have tried everything apart from the microwave.:confused:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] dioxda2:
Why do you put a M600 post in the Prophet forum? (edit: sorry just confused with the device ETEN M600 from Hong Kong here :( )

1. Anyway, what had you done to your device? .....(edit: message deleted)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] l3v5y:
They're the same device damnit!

If you disable connect through USB in activesync, then plugin the device, and then run a WM5 (AKU2.2) No Vendor ROM (Check the Wiki or the FTP server). You should be able to recover your device.

It does sound like a failed upgrade, but it should be fixable.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] dioxda2:
OK,

if your device can fall into the bootloader mode, you can save it easily.

1. force device to bootloader mode manually (please see howto in the link within my signature),

2. ooops, before that, you should had prepared(downloaded) the PVtemp or NVID to flash your device to WM5. (also provided in my thread),

YOU CAN DO IT !!​
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] behnam2bh:
this is very simple

soft reset and press and hold camera button

and upgrade. enjoy it.

1. I doubt these reps have any more of a clue about the O update for the H8 than you do. If you communicate with enough of them, I am sure one of them will give you the answer you're looking for.

2. What's the fascination with the O update anyway? Functionally, what do you want to do that O will help you with (that N and M do not)?

3. If you use the H8 as a daily driver, the need to experiment with the latest and greatest is diminished. Haven't you read the numerous posts complaining about compatibility with N, much less O? As an example, it took ages for Xposed to work with N. Many here would prefer full compatibility with Xposed vs. an O update with limited or no Xposed support.

4. There are many other threads talking about O being promised -- or not -- for the H8. Why can't posters just update one thread with their latest updates from (mostly clueless) reps?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DroidMau5:
It's not that I'm fascinated with the O update, I just feel a bit cheated because they promised 2 years of updates right? Buying a phone (with great specs) that becomes outdated in a couple of months kinda stings. And for xposed... I'm not too into that anymore especially with stability/diversity rom issues with this device; I gave roms try for a while but the loss of some functionality and higher charging temps made me uneasy
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SALENTINVM:
Btw Honor 8 is being updated regularly every 3 months. We received the B394 on September and the B398 is already being released. Updated don't mean only Major updated
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pix106:
Imho we're only talking about official upgrades, no root or xposed, so we don't really care about xposed : if you use xposed, you have rooted your phone, so you willingly excluded yourself from official upgrades.

I think a lot of us understood that 2 years updates meant 2 major android upgrades, which is not what happens, we only get very minor updates every few months.

Imho a real serious way of handling updates would be to release one with every google security patch, with no new feature and only bug fixing, security first.

And then state something about the major android upgrades, but these 2 should be separated.

But I'm dreaming in a non commercial world :)

And if you add a so-called partnership with XDA developers, and no real full source has been released, yes this is very disappointing.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bruatar:
Unfortunately Huawei is terrible with updating their previous devices. They're in it for a quick buck and move onto the next new one. All you can do is vote with your money next time and buy a Google pixel if you want updates, or an iPhone. I wouldn't expect more than 1 major os upgrade for any Huawei devices.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ah0y:
I want KRACK patched. If it's not patched in the next month I'm selling my phone for an iPhone.

Apple has better security than Android.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
I second that. KRACK (hell, even Blueborne) is unpatched on our phones. I understand that we get "regular" updates, but seriously, an out-of-band update when serious vulnerabilities occur is not much to ask.

Not everybody can afford an iPhone, but for sure, if Huawei/Honor don't get their act together, this will be the first and the last of their devices that I will ever buy.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
Probably, but it's still Crapple.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pix106:
Yes, but so much advertising around XDA partnership and honor 8 beeing their new "long live" model made a lot of us buy it even if they had such reputation.

iPhone ? Never ever ! This is the opposite problem, they push too much major upgrades so your phone becomes a low performance phone.

I have an ipad2 for music creation, I recovered good performance when I rolled back from verrrrry laggggggy iOS 9 to iOS 6.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maverick Honor:
From the previous update patterns.. if your model has launched with (MM) you will get the next one(N). If your model has launched with (N), then you will get the Oreo. Period..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
It depends.

Honor promised either 12 or 24 months of Major Android Updates. Honor has delivered in the past like my Honor 4C got two major Android updates Lollipop and Marshmallow. I believe we should get Oreo since it is extremely healthy for the development community. If Honor delivers Oreo with Treble Support, there's a high chance of getting a fully functional bulges custom ROMs for the device.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pirx73:
From my previous experiences with Huawei devices i noticed that they only receive 1 major update during their lifetime. Even flagships. That was true with Ascend P7 (4.2.2.-->5.1.1), P8 (5.1.1-->6.0) and now the same with Honor 8. Huawei does not even bother with intermediate OS updates like 7.0.2 and 7.1.1

It was released with 6.0, now it has 7.0, so ... that's it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdmusicbx:
Well, the Honor 6X was released only two months after the 8 with 6.0 too and it has Oreo planned. It doesn't make sense for Honor to ditch 8 for 6X. Let's wait and see.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Days Tech:
Those are not official. Someone in these forums got replied to an email that Honor 8 will get a closed beta for it soon. That person is not official Honor and is therefore fake.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chui84:
Yup the xda partnerships that honor/Huawei touts everytime ar sooooooooooooooooo fake its laughable.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
The customer support is now saying that even the Honor 6X isn't going to recieve the Oreo update.

She did mention that despite it hasn't been announced we shouldn't lose hope since it still isn't CONFIRMED. She also mentioned that we will continue recieving security patches which honestly is more that enough for me......

I've tried Oreo on my Nexus 5X and if anything it made the device slower and doesn't have any new changes or features apart from the password filling in apps or the updated Bluetooth codec.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tucic:
This isn't right because Samsung Galaxy S6 get Oreo upgrade, and ours phones from last year isn't... Even security updates are from September in my phone... Disappointing if it stays this way... And this phone is Honor Brands best phone in 2016...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kandelai:
I hope this is not true. I am having the well known Nougat 7.0 bluetooth pairing with car auto issue that many have complained about, including myself. I was waiting for Oreo to hopefully fix this. There is suppose to be a fix in a later 7.1.2 update, but I doubt we get that either. I really love the Honor 8 but it might be time to look for something else.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Enralic:
Earlier today I finally unlocked the bootloader on my pixel 2 xl. I had been having trouble with it as it would give me a plethora of errors upon inputting the command, until eventually it just worked.

Now, however, I find myself unable to flash my magisk-patched boot image.

I understand that this is likely an issue with not unlocking the critical images for my device specifically. Thing is that when I finally got it to unlock the bootloader, unlock_critical threw up an error whereas plain unlock did not. I now find myself unable to flash my boot image, unable to unlock the critical images, and even unable to lock the bootloader back up. All of them give me either "unknown command," "no error," or "too many links" errors, preceded by "Command Write Failed:"

The phone says my bootloader is unlocked, so I suspect I just need to unlock it critically. Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] slaydog:
New cable.

I could only get as far as you too, and couldn't actually flash the patched boot.img until I bought a new USB-A to USB-C 3.1 compatible cable, then it worked first try. Check my post history, you'll see...

FYI, cable was less than $5 and you don't need to unlock_critical
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Deuces:
It's going to be only a few possible issues.

1. Update your platform tools

2. Update your Android USB drivers

3. Use a USB 2.0 port

4. Try another cable, or the other side of the usb-c connector
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Enralic:
I had seen the suggestions to use a USB A to C cable but I didn't really want to go out to buy a new one. I'll get one later and update with results. Thanks for the suggestion slaydog.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Enralic:
Yep, grabbed the one I had in my car and it worked first try. Annoying that an issue that annoying was solved that easily, but my Pixel 2 XL has a systemless root now so I guess I have nothing to complain about anymore.

Thanks for the help.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Veid71:
is anyone able to get magisk to fully work on the pixel xl? im running 7.1.2 and i have tried version 14.2 .3 .4 and .5 and they all say modules successfully install but when i reboot my phone theres nothing under the modules section
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TechratX:
Start with downloads

Download the module first, I dont install, just download. Then go into modules and select the add button. Navigate to pixel xl\magisk manager\ *here are where your modules will be*. Select them and install, let me/us know if you have any issues.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi737:
My phone's rom (standard android nugat) got corrupted and my phone gets stuck at the htc icon during the boot process. Bootloader is locked and developer mod is disabled. Is there any way to flash a rom onto it (or repair it)?

If nothing can be done. Let's say that i were to buy a broken M9 with a working motherboard. Would replacing the motherboard solve the problem? (I know taking it apart is complicated, but I had to replaced the battery last year so I already did it once).

Thank You
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
Hi all, been using OP phones for a while now, and since the 3, it has been really impossible to find a good glass screen protector worth the money, as we all well know.

I have then gave up on them and have decided to try a film type, since I take good care of my phones and really never drop them.

So I usually don't take the time to write about that, but really I feel like I should say good things about this one brand (first time using those "wet application" protectors, so the same may apply to other brands, I'm just happy with this one on first try).

First, they do free shipping anywhere in the world. The protector and small accessories come in a simple hard back enveloppe. I think that's good for us, as well as smart.

Second, and linked to the first point, they have a good customer support. My problem was that when entering my shipping address, I could not select Hong Kong as a "country". So I emailed them asking about this, and within a few hours, I had a nice reply and the customer rep had activated HK in the drop down.

Then the product itself.

It is not too hard to apply, really. Follow the steps and you'll be good. They recommand to wait 8-12 hours to turn on the phone again, but I need my phone as an alarm clock, so I waited like 2 hours and all is well. All in all, doing it in the evening, it took maybe 30 mins to install (with waiting to dry up a bit).

The film sticks well, even on the edges of the screen, and it is hard to tell it is there (well, under low angle light, you can notice a very slight "orange peel" effect). On the other hand, touch feeling is really as if there was nothing there.

I tested with the slim official OnePlus cases, as well as the official carbon bumper case, and no problem to notice at all. I also have a Spigen case, but I don't dare trying it, it looks like it "crawls" up a bit much on the edges of the screen. I expect that any slim cases, or those that are not too tight on the edges won't be a problem.

I also ordered one for my wife's S8+, and have installed it as well. Will post pictures this evening when she gets home and I can use her phone for pictures, so you can see how it looks. (for her, I took a full body coverage, and I'll post some pictures of that, so you can see how it goes, and how it looks on different phones).

So all in all, I liked the company attitude, the price (8 GBP for my screen only coverage for OP5, and 12 GBP for S8+), free delivery and of course the product itself.

Let me know if you have questions, I know I personnaly am always looking for info before trying those protectors. God knows I've wasted enough money on many useless ones :crying:

Edit :

have added pics so you can see how it looks (the slight orange peel effect), and also how it goes really fully to the edges
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] Gambo_7:
Woow it looks really good!
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
It does, yes.

I've been using that for a few days now and it's really hard to tell it's there.

Also something I noticed with usage is that it's very fingerprint resistant. Maybe better than the naked screen in that respect.

Can't really comment on long term durability but at least it's very good at the moment.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] NorthernLight_:
Having a discount of 25% today i took the risk and ordered it ;)
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
Oh cool, hope it'll work for you as well as it does for me
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] furious.builder:
I have a spigen case too, you sure you don't want to try it ahah?
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] lein199:
is it like rhinoshield or is it like screen protector for scratching?

I say about this: https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/co...cts/oneplus-5-invisible-film-screen-protector

Thank you!
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
I'm talking about that one yeah, the soft one.

So it's against scratches only.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
OK, just for you then.

aaaaaaand yeah, no problem. I guess be careful when putting in the case. But no lifting on the sides :good:
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] furious.builder:
Nice! Thank you :D I'll see to buy this screen protector, nillkin's one is really too small, cutting the screen is annoying :crying:
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] NorthernLight_:
Are we talking about the neo hybrid case? ;p
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
It's very exact fit lol, so the protector must be very well aligned. But the protector is so thin that it just stays under the lips of the case.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
Yep
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] furious.builder:
I personnaly have the rugged armor :)
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
Can't say about that one!
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] Adrian312:
I ordered it long time ago. Haven't tried it yet. I have nilkin glass now. Since I want to protect whole screen and I have a otterbox case... I will apply film soon. Fingers crossed
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] carlese:
Ordered one today, got tired of every single tempered glass protector that has adhesive only on the sides and lets the dust go under the screen.. Let's hope this is as good as advertised!
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
Yeah, let us know if it works well for you guys too :)
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] J03llV:
Ordered! Waiting on shipment :)
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] NorthernLight_:
Mine arrived, pretty simple package but it made its way to Hamburg Germany without problems :laugh:

Will apply it when in clean surrounding ;p
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] me myself and i:
i got the spigen version of these wet apply protectors. Spigen Neoflex........after a few bum TGSP attempts this one is the bomb........screw the tempered glass imo......i never realized what kind of plague the tempered glass was until i decided to try a film type. bought 2 for $8 on Amazon direct from spigen. havent looked back......talk about leaving phone powered off, spigen recommends an hour i think.....i left mine for two and perfect results. convinced my brother to leave tempered glass behind in favor of this film.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
Yeah, I agree.

I'm not super convinced it would really protect the screen from really cracking if it fell in a way that would break it (I mean glass screen protector).

And talking about application, also same, it actually requires a small amount of water, so their recommanded time is mostly a way for those companies to evade liability troubles :)
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] NorthernLight_:
Installed it! Feels really good to touch and looks amazing compared to the other protectors on the market..

Even though it was my first protector of this kind it turned out almost perfectly. Bubbles and water that i couldnt squish out just disappeared after some hours. Til now i think i found what i wanted in a screen protector :svetius:

I put it in my spigen neo hybrid case and it simply looks superb! U cant even see the corners. Thx for opening this thread!
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
Glad to have been able to help. It's hard to find a screen protector that works...
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] carlese:
Ok the screen protector has arrived, will place it this night.. For now I'm not impressed for two reasons:

1) looks like a fingerprint magnet, just by touching it I can see the fingerprints sticking

2) it is imperfect, it has like a dot on it, like someone used a needle

I contacted the vendor, for 10 euros I want something good, otherwise next time I'll buy something similar on aliexpress..

Edit: the vendor will send another one tomorrow.. I applied this one and.. Scratch resistant??? I GENTILY used the squegee provided and I have scratches all over the surface now.. What a mess.. The fitting is really good though, edge to edge and perfect cuts..
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] NorthernLight_:
I rarely get any noticeable fingerpringts on mine and all scratches from squishing air/water out simply recovered in my case. U wont get a foil like this on aliexpress i think cause this is not a simple plastic one..
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
Hi, very strange indeed that you have such a bad experience with this, since I guess they should be made standard... But defects can always be there indeed.

As for fingerprints, I really don't have a prob with that (and my wife's phone using the same brand either).

Well, I came from a terrible no name glass product which attracted them like there was no tomorrow, so maybe our expectations are different :)

edit :

And talking about your scratches problem, same I did not see that, as you can see on my posted pictures, again on two different phones... Odd
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] carlese:
12 hours have passed and I still see a lot of bubbles, I can clearly see them on a white screen since they are like bright spots.. Do you think they will absorb or should I remove the sp and start over? I can feel bumps under my fingers where the bright spots are, when I placed the sp all was flat and no bumps..

Will those bumps disappear as well?
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
hmm hard to tell, I did not see that happen.

There was a piece of something under the protector on the other phone, and when I noticed, I could take it off and start over again. Although I did that only in a corner, not the whole thing. I guess it would be the sabe for the full protector....

I guess if you do not wait too long, this can probably be corrected.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] carlese:
Ok I have to take it all back.. The sp is self healing, all the scratches are gone and the bubbles are going away, except one that is my. fault.. Also, fingerprints don't stick too much now..
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] OPT1997:
Is it spigen neo flex or ultimate shield?
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] kipue:
See title of the thread?

spoiler : second one
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] J03llV:
Just received mine after weeks of waiting.. Installation was tougher than a TGSP one. Fiddling around with the soapy water and stuff, odd too me but I guess it works for this. Still waiting for everything to dry up. Powered on the device aswell because I needed it but, because of the water there is this rainbow colour effect. Let's see if that clears up throughout the upcoming days.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] aa_chow:
Just installed mine earlier this week. It's my favorite so far: covers the entire screen and edges, perfect fit. I was initially hesitant because i hate the tacky feeling of we-apply screen protectors of the past, but this one is not bad at all -- its not glass protector level smooth -- I can feel a hint softness/rubber-ness, but very minor and acceptable given all else. As others observed there is slight orange-peel to be seen at angle, but not noticable during normal usage.

I have gone though Orzly temper glass, easy-ult, let screen protectors, and I will stick with this for the foreseeable future.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] carlese:
Just one questions.. I received two replacements: the second one has a "hole" next to the camera hole on the left (i know that the one on the right is for the sensors). It's not an actual hole, it's like a thinner layer of screen protector, cut like a hole. Do you guys have it? On the first screen protector I received it's not there.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] aa_chow:
I have a camera hole, a key-hole shaped hole for the proximity (and probably others) sensor, and the cutout for the earpiece.
