[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Rep7ile:
Since Best Buy is killing Huawei sales I assume I need to rebrand my device to receive future updates. Is anyone else thinking the same? How would I do this? I haven't seen a guide for rebranding the US variant. Please help
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] skeltonh:
You could rebrand but as the updates are linked to the IMEI numbers you should use firmware finder and see which ones would be accepted by Huawei. Even though my IMEI was, supposedly, registered in the middle east, the ROMs I can load, with rebranding are the C185 and C900. Otherwise you can download via FF what might work, when they come out.

My concern after talking to Huawei was they are going to drop support for the Mate 9 prematurely and focus only on non-USA models.

It looks like they will ban the company from the USA in the near future, as well as a few other Pan Pacific phone makers.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Rep7ile:
So even if I rebrand I may not be able to get updates for the region I branded to on FF because my IMEI is linked to US variant? If that's the case why should I rebrand it at all?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] skeltonh:
The problem with rebranding is that your hardware might not support it fully. The world does not operate on the same telephone frequencies.

Like I said before, if you are on a USA model the C900 might be your best bet. It is the international version of the C567 ROM. Some C185 can run on USA phones too.

Run FF and check your IMEI against different versions to see what your phone will accept.

You can rebrand and run what you want but a lot of the update mechanisms are linked to your IMEI. There are many that rebrand to other versions without consequence. It is also true that some rebrand blindly and get bootloop.

RESEARCH! Read the forums and find out what works. Use the Firmware Finder tool and see what branding your device can officially support. Then decide on what amount of risk you want to take.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] lostorbit:
I have rebranded my C567 to C432 and have no problems with OTA updates. I'm currently on latest publicly available Oreo version. Others do have problems, and that's for sure. I don't really know the reason why.

I do use Firmware Finder to check for availability and approval of new firmware. Besides the first forced procedure of rebranding which involved unlocking the bootloader (which wiped my data), my phone always got OTA updates. I do however have a UK SIM in one of the slots so I'm not sure if that made any difference.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Wirmpolter:
If your going to rebrand, I recommend you downgrade to Nougat first (I found it easier to rebrand using Nougat than Oreo).

And, since you have a c567 model, you can downgrade easily using the hi suite method.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Addymore:
UK sim card make difference indeed... For C432....

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] c19932:
can someone who's using LOS comment on any advantages over stock? Now that we can install magisk and xposed on stock roms, is there any advantage at all to switch to LOS? How are the comparisons on battery life and speed?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] singhsta:
Just got the phone couple days ago. I m not new to rooting and custom rooms. But I think it is better to stick with stock for now. At least for next 3-4 months imo. The phone already has Oreo and is very stable. Battery life is pretty good as well. Barely any lag, if any. I mean things just work and this is basically stock Android. IDK. Just my 2 cents. Unless something revolutionary happens in custom rom community I will be rocking stock for a while.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Generally people flash Lineage to get a more stock Android experience on their phones. The Essential already runs stock Android. The only advantage Lineage could possibly have while stock Android is still being updated on this phone would be whatever features Lineage offers that aren't included in stock Android. You can make the Essential faster by rooting the phone and flashing a custom kernel. You don't need a custom ROM to do that.

But there are significant disadvantages to installing Lineage on this phone. For one thing Lineage doesn't offer an official build for this phone. Unless something has changed over the last couple of days Lineage for this phone is only available as an unofficial build. That doesn't just mean no official support. Lineage doesn't sanction unofficial builds and there is no way of knowing if the build is poorly coded or not. Anyone can compile an unofficial build. You can watch a YouTube video and learn how to do it yourself. If someone making an unofficial build actually knows what they are doing there is a process with Lineage to make the build official as long as both the DEV and the build meet specific standards. Flashing an unofficial build of any ROM on any phone is a risk.

Then there is the fact that custom flashing on the Essential phone can reportedly lead to hard bricking the phone pretty easily. The a & b partitions make custom flashing a lot more difficult than on single partition phones and people with a lot of previous flashing experience have managed to hard brick their Essential phone within hours of taking it out of the box.

I don't personally think custom flashing on the Essential has enough upside to be worth the risk right now but it's your phone. Unless you don't mind turning your phone into a paperweight you should at least read the entire XDA rooting guide from beginning to end (including all of the comments from people who followed the guide) and also go through the Essential Telegram group which seems to be aimed at people who are flashing on the phone. That way you will have a good idea of what you are getting into and reduce the chances of bricking your phone.

Good luck whatever you decide.

For me an showstopper
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ~~Tito~~:
AOSiP and Lineage run fine for me. Many bugs that need to be worked out, but they still run okay. Currently running stock however as I am trying to pinpoint what is killing my battery life. One day I am running great, the next I am leaking % left and right.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crixley:
I can't stand stock rom at alllll. RR is the best the phone has ran for me. I can't stand the way touch works on stock, the scrolling feels like wading through molasses.

Plus true immersive mode. Honestly I see zero benefit to stock, but that's just my opinion.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jhs39:
RR is pretty far from the purpose and philosophy of LOS. LOS attempts to create a stock experience with some additional features. RR is for people who want to mod their phones with as many custom options as possible. I tried RR on my OP5 and wasn't a fan but I can definitely understand why someone who doesn't like stock Android would enjoy it. But the Essential phone is a terrible choice if you want to run custom ROMs. There's almost no development for this phone and I don't know if any custom ROM other than AOSIP even has an official build. If you want to run custom ROMs you would have been much better off with an OP5T. Not only are there a ton of official custom ROMs including RR but the phone is super easy to flash on and pretty much impossible to hard brick.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] D4rk_nVidia:
LOS runs smoother than the stock ROM and I it has more advantages.

LOS:

Immersive Mode : It's very easy to hide navbar and statusbar. That and an modded Youtube app and you are ready to really use the full screen. Not just till the notch.

It's very helpful in games too where you need apps or adb with the stock ROM.

Feel: It's just smoother and more responsive thant the stock ROM

Essential Apps works just normal

It has a few bugs like app dosen't start correct but stock rom can have that too and maybe it's just my installation.

Updater : You get many Updates and you can just download and install it in the background. Then you restart and you just installed an update without any waiting time.

Stock ROM:

It's official. You get updates that are suited to this phone and the softwar knows that there is a notch.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
I'm on stock because all hardware works. I want full camera including 360 to work.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jhs39:
If there was an official build of LOS there would be a lot fewer issues. The unofficial build is probably just the ROM code auto compiled for this device with no further tweaks or fixes. You can do the same thing with any open source ROM. Have you tried AOSIP? I would think that would run better since it's actually official. That was also a solid ROM when I ran it on other phones. Not a lot of features but very stable fast and smooth.

Is updating a custom ROM difficult on this phone? Do you need to reflash the stock system image and TWRP on a computer or can it be updated like a simple OTA?

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

360 isn't likely to work on any custom ROM because the code for it is probably proprietary. Phone manufacturers rarely release code for something like that. The camera code is probably the only thing on the Essential that isn't stock Android. This phone could easily run faster but Essential seems to have opted for better battery life in their stock setup. Google does exactly the opposite. They maximize performance so much that their phones run too hot and tend to burn out after a couple years. That's happened so far with the 5X, 6P & XL. Three flagship phones in a row dying from heat damage after a couple years is a pretty consistent track record.

When I was running LOS earlier this month the 360 camera worked...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rignfool:
You have NO idea what the hell you're talking about...

Shut up... Flash the ROM... Then give your critique... You obviously haven't done that...

The 360 cam has worked for months...

The only reason this device isn't official... Has to do with Jenkins and gapps...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jhs39:
LOS has no quality control over an unofficial build. If it runs fine great. If 360 cam works even better. If I wanted to run a custom ROM I would have just stuck with the OP5. LOS was official on that device. I bought the Essential specifically because it runs stock Android. Buying a phone that runs stock Android and has virtually no development community so you can run a custom ROM on it doesn't make much sense to me but it's your phone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] D4rk_nVidia:
LineageOS is great but it could be much better if we had a better Support with the essential phone.

It has many advantages.

I just installed the stock ROM and can say

- battery life is better with stock

- UI runs smooth enough but apps like Facebook runs better with Lineage

- Instagram runs better because I had the bug in Lineage that videos getting skipped while playing

- whatsapp voice messages sounds awful sometimes because the sound crackles (no problem with lineage)

- no expanded desktop mode with stock rom

Both have advantages and disadvantages.

How can I go about getting the Verizon version for my phone? I have moved the Verizon SIM from another to my phone. It works I can send and receive calls as well as text messages, however, it shows Roaming and gives a pop-up warning about roaming occasionally. The Verizon store said it shouldn't be roaming and that they didn't have a way to get it to have the Verizon splash screen or anything like that. I also have all of the Sprint applications on it and would like to have the Verizon applications on it.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] miodrag.cutura:
Ooooohhhh it so did... Sadly, I did not make a photo, but it was terrible. Two thick straight lines stretching from the middle of the left bezel all the way down to the middle of the bottom bezel. Not even the front desk of the service point knew what the oleophobic coating was (don't ask), luckily i had some connections so, they acted on it really fast.

Noticed this too, and just wondering if you ever got one that never got this problem? As you say/imply in your YouTube comment, it's actually not obvious at all in real-world use - the coating seems to only be affected on the sides and not the actual screen. However, I'm wondering whether the coating will continue "peeling" into the actual screen over time?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funkym0nkey:

The quick way to do is to download this app from play store. All the info will be on first page itself.

I have seen this happen on other phones, couple of moto phones, one xiaomi phone. Never on Samsung. But because it has happened to me in past, I always check it on every new phone as one of the items on checklist. That is unacceptable defect. I wonder if this is coming from one specific factory or totally random issue. Thankfully, my unit is perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] denja12:
Washed it with soap or had it in water with chlorine? Like a pool, if so... that's getting rid of your coating.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ssj100:
For me, I'm pretty sure it wasn't there when it was brand new, but who knows. It's actually really hard to see in most lighting conditions, and even then, it's only noticeable if you're actively looking for it. And even if it's present, for it to show up more obviously, you really need to rub some oil/water/fingerprint on those specific areas for it to show up more clearly. I'm sure most people have this to some extent, but >90% of people wouldn't notice it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] cirnocirno:
My phone doesn't have it, tried to return it but they said "Samsung Galaxy S9 isn't supposed to have it". Have I been tricked???
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funkym0nkey:
You will only notice it when you get some skin oil or fingerprints on the screen.

I have had this happen on my 2 previous phones. Moto X and Mi 4i. Here is the picture i quickly found in my google photos.

As you can see, the oleophobic coating is missing from the middle part of the screen. This is a defect. It probably happened because some sheet of plastic flew and got stuck on the top glass in factory when the screen underwent the oleophobic coating process or some chemical spilled on the screen in factory and this went unnoticed during QC as it will be hard to detect this without actually touching screen with bare hands. (WIth some skin oil )

At the end of the day, this is unacceptable defect if you have it. The oleophobic coating is sensitive to heat and chlorinated water, but chlorinated water will take long time and multiple exposures to it to cause this damage. It wont happen with single dip in chlorinated water.

My suggestion is to get your phones replaced or at least screen replaced under warranty if you are out of return period.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ssj100:
The original poster (I think) and I only notice this on the sides of the phone (where it curves), and not on the actual part of the screen where pixels light up. I've seen one person replace his S9 several times (and even got the store manager I think to open like 5-6 phones at a store) and all of them had it to some extent. Because it's only at the sides, a lot of cases would actually (mostly) cover this up, so again, it explains why most people wouldn't notice it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] miodrag.cutura:
The third one is ok for now. But hey, now I hate Samsung anyway, so this pretty much no longer matters. I am waiting for smudges to keep sticking and will return this one at some point, I'd say... Btw, this one was made in Vietnam.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ssj100:
Thanks for the feedback. I think we're some of the unlucky ones, otherwise we'd hear more about this oleophobic issue - not many posts on it? I'm not getting mine exchanged, as this is purely cosmetic (and rather minor), and I'd probably run the risk of coming across another "defect", if not the same one. The rest of the phone is functioning very well for me. And that's the keyword - it's actually "functioning" well, which is all that really matters when push comes to shove.

How do you mean you're "waiting for smudges to keep sticking"?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] miodrag.cutura:
Definitely should've written 'waiting for the smudges to stick' :D Because that's basically what happens when the oleophobic coating is messed up. They stick really hard to the glass and it is much more difficult to clean it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] elstano2k7:
So if your screen shows residue from normal use, it would qualify for a warranty exchange? That seems a bit unrealistic when many other factors come into play. Use of skin lotion, body sweat are couple first thought of. My whole screen shows signs of use, and has since day one. It's never been exposed to chlorine or any other chemical.

I am on the Snapdragon version of the S8 so Rooting is not possible.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] martyh1:
I believe there is a service you can stop that will keep the update notification from popping up but I don't know what it is. You should be able to Google around and find it.

I did this exact thing (original AT&T phone unlocked and put a MetroPCS SIM card in). Yes it changes the AT&T logo to MetroPCS switch is unfortunate when considering reselling your phone I think.

I doubt you will be able to go back to nougat once you upgrade to Oreo. Maybe if you root the phone which I stopped doing to my phones.
