[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] steelmaggot:
It'll install O2 apps, mine did with my GiffGaff sim card

GiffGaff piggybacks on the O2 network

EDIT

If the phone comes with 8.o.o.132(C782) software you can use DC Unlocker to unlock the bootloader and use HWOTA8 to rebrand to C432 EU unlocked, did it myself a couple of days ago
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] rossgetty:
Can they be uninstalled? It's the three splash screen I'm trying to avoid. Are there any networks which don't install any bloatware do you know?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] steelmaggot:
I think they can be uninstalled, as to other networks I've no idea
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Dmn100:
I don't believe EE installs bloat. I think once 3 branding is installed you can't get rid of it but it doesn't actually lock the phone. The official excuse is that customisations are needed to allow for WiFi calling but it's highly annoying that they install all this crap on your phone when you've specifically gone to the trouble of buying an unlocked phone. I could understand if I bought from 3 for a cheaper price but other it's very underhand tactics on 3's part.

I would also think twice about rebranding. It seems very hit or miss and if you accidentally flash the wrong file you can end up with an expensive paper weight. Some things like Google pay may not work after, either. I know from past experience with my Mate 9. Never as straight forwards as it seems, as plenty of threads in these forums testify!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] rossgetty:
So theoretically if I put an EE SIM in first the phone would rebrand to that network but with no bloatware or splash screen it wouldn't look like an EE phone and would still be unlocked and I could use my 3 SIM afterwords? Or am I clutching at straws!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] HellDiverUK:
Confirming that the only thing that installs or changes when an EE SIM is installed in a Mate 10 Pro is the My EE app is downloaded. Can be uninstalled though, no problems.

From what I can tell, a 3 SIM will **** up a phone on insertion, whether it's the first SIM or not (they've done that for years, remember it happening as far back as the Moto X).
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] RottenFoxBreath:
Total rubbish.

GiffGaff doesn't install any operator apps or software, for themselves or 02, on a sim free phone.

No splash screens or apps, nor operator software.

You have to download the mygiffgaff app from the Play Store or restore it from a backup.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] steelmaggot:
I didn't say giffgaff installed it, the phone downloaded an O2 app of its own accord
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Dmn100:
Sadly no, I tried this myself. As soon as you insert 3 SIM, it's scarred forever unless you go through the hassle of rebranding.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] steelmaggot:
Rebranding is easy, did it myself last week, now on C432
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] timbohobbs:
A question for UK users regarding bloatware. Thinking of taking the plunge with this device coming from an HTC 10. I'm with EE and current contract is up soon, I'm likely to take a new contract with EE through a third party so to port my number I'll have to go through the hassle of porting my number to another network for a few days and then back to EE. By the sounds of it, 3 will install bloat if I use them. Question is, will I be ok with 02 or Vodafone ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] revjamescarver:
Uninstalling

Actually they CAN be uninstalled as they are not part of the actual firmware, they can be uninstalled using HiSuite on your computer. As far as I know HiSuite can be used to uninstall any of the bloatware, even when you can't uninstall from the phone. I've had several Huawei phones and HiSuite worked with all of them for the bloatware problem
[Off-topic] pjh2903:
I have just got a new laptop which came pre-installed with Home Premium. I need to upgrade to Ultimate so I can connect to the domain servers at work. My questions are:

1) can I use the product key from an OEM version of Ultimate to upgrade my system.

2) if I upgrade in this way will I lose all the settings and drivers from my system i.e will I need the driver discs for the built-in webcam, audio etc.
[Off-topic] foaf:
Answer to question 1 is you can use Windows Anytime Update

Have you got the Vista HP OEM DVD? It actually comes with Vista Ultimate already on it, so you go to the above website and upgrade your licence from HP to Ultimate.

Ironically though the upgrade costs about the same as an OEM copy of Vista Ultimate, which is diabolical IMHO.
[Off-topic] cyberjak:
oem however is tagged to the 1 pc and cannot migrate to a new pc later should you want to. retail version and upgrades to their retail edition are more expensive due to that reason.

also Ultimate has all the features that really only a business need unless the person wants to do alot of remote desktop work and has their own local domain to log into while at home. as otherwise premium has everything else
[Off-topic] cyberjak:
Yes

no tehcnically an upgrade like that keeps the files and will just upgrade the additional items needed. but to be fair it's always advised to have the drivers ready just to be safe. as far as settings. it depends on what settings you mean , as some applications don't save their settings in a std easy to backup way.
[Sprint LG G4] Hiemal:
Is this normal? I checked my developer options today and I have that option... does that mean I can put a different bootloader on here and root it?

Thanks!
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
No Cannot downgrade to root Only thing oem unlock does is disable FRP and a couple other security features But No good on the root or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rawready:
The last time we got an update I had to say remind me later multiple times...eventually I went to sleep just to wake up and find out my phone was updated without my permission.

Is there a way to stop the software update on a stock device?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
You can disable it with BK disabler.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rawready:
Have you tried This? What services would I need to disable?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
Using it now.

Just go to the system tab and disable the blue coloured software update with BK disabler. Done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rawready:
Can't find a link to the app.

Is there a way to manually do it through settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] joooe:
uncheck Developers Options - Autoupdate system.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] GuestK0079:
Just wow...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rawready:
I'm not sure if I have that option on the AT&T version
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Yeah me neither lol. Just disable options through settings -> software update. It might still eventually push updates after a while though. Long-term you can disable Software update with Titanium Backup if rooted, or else use BK Package Disabler as described earlier.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jbreezyy:
what if you enable them back but when checking for a software update it just says "up to date", i am running the Nov 1st security patch, have had updates disabled since i use Sub overlays and have a custom ui, just tonight i went and u installed everything bcuz i heard there was a security patch out that was needed n order to get Oreo later this month..i know for a fact my phone isnt up to date.

anyone know what is going on??

my provider is AT&T, any help would b appreciated.

btw..i am NOT rooted or running any custom roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
Just use bk disabler, disable everything related to software updates, this prevents even the forced updates that sometimes samsung or carriers push, when you re enable all, if there is some update, yo will be able to install it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jbreezyy:
yeah, using the app is no problem..it's when i enable the updates again thru BK my phone is saying its up to date and i know for a fact it is like 4 security patches behind..i have no idea how to fix it.

i enabled all apps including the update ones, uninstalled BK also.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ddlg2007:
You are just awesome, pretty and simple. Thank you so much.

For those who do not understand you need activate Developers Options (google it)

Then in Developers Option, uncheck Auto Update System.

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] rmnelson97403:
I got the Oreo update as part of the beta test, it immediately borked safety net and therefore Android Pay. I've requested assistance from Motorola without success. Has anybody had Android Pay stop working after installing the OTA on A1? Suggestions for getting this fixed on a unrooted straight stock A1? Thanks.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] smmankad:
I know this thread is a tad old. But my X4's Android Pay also broke after the 8.0 OTA. It was working fine on Nougat. Any updates/luck on this issue?
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] edufur:
Just to be clear, when you say Android Pay, you really mean Google Pay, right? Android Pay is old and Google has moved away from that.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] smmankad:
Yep.

Also, I'll keep my questions restricted to the Android Pay thread to avoid duplication :)

[MENTION=4860033]Arnova8G2[/MENTION] has been so kind to continue to mod the Google Camera app to work on multiple devices. The Xiaomi Mi 5 thread and OP3/3T among other threads are becoming quite cluttered with questions from other devices. So I thought I would help him and others out and keep any questions about the Xiaomi Mi Mix in the correct location. Arnova8G2 has asked to tag his name along with a logcat for any issues so he can help with future builds etc.

Second post will have a link to the latest version, this maybe a stable version or a beta/test version. Arcore stickers have been added as well with the latest versions and install procedures

I have also added the newest Google Pixel Camera 2 and 3 Mod

Third post will have a link to the older versions if so desired

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SharxX8:
So I'm finally ready to say goodbye to my H8 but after relocking the bootloader ,rolling back and dloading B360 for the L09 i am unable to get OTAs.

I thought i could simply flash another version from FF but all that did is allow me to update through HiSuite.

Plus it (HiSuite) always says I'm on a developer version.

Could anyone guide me to a proper L09 stock version that i can dload or anything else that would help?

I think I've had the problem before but I can't remember what I did to fix it other than maybe downgrading to MM.

But dloading the same file after that seems kind of pointless.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] GuestK009:
I Had That Problem When I Rebranded.

All You Have To Do Is Use " Get An Update Through DNS" In Firmware Finder And Now I Had The Latest Version.

Well the issue is i did both of those and neither allowed me to get official OTAs.

I want to sell the device as long as its worth something so this is rather important for that

But the rollback files i used are quite old so maybe its a wrong version or something.

But I did update through the FF proxy, same thing.no luck :(

Edit: i did the proxy update so maybe thats the culprit, but isnt it just downloading the same version as the dns one?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] GuestK009:
Yeah
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SharxX8:
I can install it but not over official OTA.

Also i saw i asked the same question on your other thread and apparently downgrading to MM fixed it last time.

Does anyone know if Samsung's animations have a different or slower frame rate than most other phones?

I recently had to use a Pixel 2 XL for a while, and when I went back to my S8+, everything suddenly seemed super choppy and jarring. I'm sure it's not like something wrong with the phone, but definitely is apparent when compared to another phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Geeks Empire:
Go to setting and enable developer option (go to about section and click 3 times on build number)

in developer option change value of animations

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] CConn882:
I've been doing that since Ice Cream Sandwich at this point. I should've phrased it differently, it's not speed, it's jitteriness. Like other phones have, say, animations that are 60 frames per second, while Samsung's is considerably less, making everything look like it's jumping around rather than being smooth and fluid.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] artikle:
Yes, animations on S8 and S8+ are very jittery. Oreo beta has most of these jitters fixed though.
