[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] toolpost:
I have bought the 8" variant last week and just want to share my experience. The model is CPN-L09 with 3gb ram and 32gb.

1. Since I am migrating from old Nexus 7 (2012), performance is really good in my opinion. I haven't tested much, though it never lags while opening multiple applications. The response is very quick. Display and sound are good.

2. For a rooting/custom rom solution, I have been searching a lot. But couldn't find a method yet.

3. There was some bloatware. But I removed almost all though an adb shell using the 'pm uninstall' way.

4. I have no idea.

5. Battery last for two days on heavy use. It takes around 3 hours to reach 100%.

Hope this helps.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] Bryon15:
Thanks. Yes, this helps.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] Bryon15:
Where can I order the M5 from? I'm in the United States.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] kimpoy1994:
1. Yes, it is a good tablet for its price. Performs quite well.

2. As far as I know, it can be rooted. Mine is not rooted since I haven't find the need in rooting the device.

3. No, there's not much bloatware pre-installed in my tablet.

4. I believe it's already enabled without rooting.

5. Battery is pretty decent but it is NOT fast charging.

I really like this tablet, mine however is the LTE version but from research, not much of a difference between the Wi-Fi only and the LTE aside from the cellular capability.

Any one figure out how to set WIFI preferred calling now on Pixel 2 XL now that the ADB command won't change it anymore? Verizon Pixel 2 XL here

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JohnKuczek:
Have you tried: Settings -> Network & Internet -> Mobile Network -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi Calling
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Kronk734:
Yes the WIFI calling setting works but it defaults to Mobile Preferred first and then WIFI in no signal, before there was an ADB command line that set it to WIFI preferred so that it automatically went to wifi calling as primary when connected to WIFI
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] cntryby429:
What rom are you running? I used it successfully on the March stock build. It doesn't work for me now on aquariOS but vzw wifi calling isn't yet supported so I haven't pushed it.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Kronk734:
I'm stock running Android P beta
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] klaytonix:
Same scenario here.. Pixel 2 XL with the Android P Open Beta. Ran the adb commands and it's not updating to wifi preferred.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] s0m3f00l:
Same on Android P beta VZW. I don't think that command is in the settings list anymore

My mistake, it must be something else:
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] s0m3f00l:
Update: after reboot it looks like the setting returns to -1. Not sure what that means.... Maybe Google has a bug here ?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] s0m3f00l:
Another update: It looks like Verizon is pushing a setting on the Carrier Configuration that is causing the global setting wfc_ims_mode to revert back to -1 after reboot. The only fix I found so far it to have VZW re-provision the WiFi Calling OR it will WFC will not work at all if the wfc_ims_mode is set in global.

I made a bug case for the issue just in case I am wrong.

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79665222

Please STAR IT if this is important to you
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Kronk734:
You had Verizon re-provision or just saying they would have to do it? Also is that an option?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] s0m3f00l:
Sorry that I wasn't clear... I could not get wifi calling to work at all after setting wfc_ims_mode. I then reset network setting and made sure the value was reset to null. I then called Verizon to have them reset HD voice and re-provision Wi-Fi Calling. This took quite some time of course, as they wanted me to go through a lot of troubleshooting. After this I waited 10 minutes and rebooted phone and Wi-Fi Calling worked again but mobile was again preferred. I verified this by using airplane mode with WI-FI.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Kronk734:
OK thanks. I didn't have that problem. The ADB command just did nothing. My WIFI calling wasn't messed up at all
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] s0m3f00l:
Final update. Google confirms that Verizon has set the carrier setting and Android P. Is not allowing us to override that in the global settings, which is their intent. See the bug I posted previously. Hopefully, Airplane mode still works for everyone though it would be helpful if you could set it up with Tasker -root.
[HTC Wings] nielswillems:
ey,

Yesterday I bought de HTC S730.

Memory:

132.29 Mb intern ROM

43.58 Mb intern RAM

Question:

Is this normal for this phone?

They promised:

256 Mb ROM

64 Mb RAM

Ok, wm6 is on it and that will use an amount of ROM.

But I don't understand the amount of RAM, it's too less.

And my phone is already slow derictly after start up (free RAM is about 10Mb.

Should I go back with it or is there a way to speed it up?

Greets,

Niels
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
With window's and the other app's installed on it that sounds fairly normal. The memory has a leak which is supposedly being fixed by HTC, but with window's and other things actively using the RAM I dont see any fix really boosting it too much, but every little bit helps.

If you are using the default home screen with the weather app and so forth built in your memory on first boot should be around 14 - 16mb free. Then with keeping your memory free you can keep it around 10 - 12 after a week or more of none stop use.

Theres a thread on here that talks about other tweeks you can do to clean things up and have more memory but with carefull monitoring and so forth the phone wont bog down much.

Of course closing an app and then imidiately opening another one will slow things down some...
[HTC Wings] phailo:
It's normal. And the phone is usable. BTW.: if you'd try to find out some information about this (or any similar) WM6 smartphone before purchase, you should know.
[HTC Wings] nielswillems:
ok I'm persuaded.

Thank you for the answers.

Greets,

Niels
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
Your welcome, it is a good phone, and if you dont mind the other backgrounds or what to edit the default one you can open that memory closer to 20 free.

Enjoy :)

Only way is to format Data.

It depends on ROM if it's encrypted or not.

After recent Oreo update, phone dialer contact photo shows only on top and its small, a size of penny before that it was like 3/4 of the dialer screen. Is there any way to fix it? View attachment 4497702
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] djdelarosa25:
I don't see how that affects the capability of making phone calls, so why fuss?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Baronik:
It's looks like this for some time in Google Dialer, so Moto only adapted this for their app. I prefer as close to vanilla android experience as possible, so I use google dialer for a long time and prefer it's design over old one.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sp5it:
You drive 200/h on highway, easy to spot big photo instead of small letters.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] djdelarosa25:
Your analogy is all wrong.

There is a name, though. And it is perfectly visible.

Besides, it's not like you didn't have the will to call that person by yourself and forget his/her name all of a sudden. 99% of the time, you won't even look at the dialer when you make a call.

wokmed, no, just saying that Google Dialer (newest versions) all have small photos, while much older versions has full screen. There is even modified version somewhere here on XDA, where you can have really "full" screen photo.

Despite it Closed , SIM CARD Working on Other Device !!!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KH_Lionheart:
Not 100% sure, but it could have something to do with having the wrong radios on the US firmware.

Sidenote, where did you get the B35 update, would you mind sharing it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
It's official Nougat, literally nothing special

I think someone will upload the U files in some time anyways
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KH_Lionheart:
Right, but what is special is that OTA is the only way it was put out. ZTE never made it available for download from the support page from what I understand so no one seems to actually have the usable firmware available to download in the way others have copies of the official firmware from ZTE support page. Plus since he has the Chinese model it means he probably didn't get it OTA and has a flash able file that he could share.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Spheneh:
I own the Pixel 2XL in "panda". I believe it's just a beautiful device. I didn't appreciate the term "vanilla Android" until turning on the device. Having 128GB im not too concerned about external space nor do I care about wireless charging or IP67 vs IP68. But for me immediate updates are important. Lack of bloatware is important. This is a phone that you either love or hate. Anyway here's my issue. I recently picked up the S9+ in addition to the Pixel. I was going to wait for the Note 9 as I usually would but obviously didn't. I'm thinking about returning the S9+ but that screen is gorgeous, the device feels perfect in the hand and is just a speed demon. Should I keep the Pixel or the S9+?

Thank you for reading this long winded tangent.

You're gonna love the s9 until the honeymoon period expires and Android P arrives. If you return the Pixel, you're gonna cry then. :D
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] psychomaniac82:
Pixel wouldn't regret, I'm sure about that. Especially with Android P, running the beta right now, it's awesome.

Not so sure about the S9 though. Samsung has the name getting slow after a while. I only owned the Galaxy s1, so don't have much experience with Samsung but the s1 was getting slow after a while. But owned a couple of other Samsung devices and the problem with Samsung is always the same, great hardware, rubbish software. Also contacted Samsung customer service for my qled 65 inch TV and the knowledge of the customer service is bad. Also contacted Google a couple of times and that's really good! (You have to had bought the pixel via the Google store to get service via Google)

(Why don't you use the XL forum, also use the S9 forum if you didn't ?)
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] GTOJim:
In addition to what others have said the Pixel 2 has a two year warranty, it's the first to get updates. Apparently other manufactures haven't been as good with security updates, often lagging behind, sometimes only making a date change so it looks current. I don't remember how Samsung did in this regard. As I recall pretty much all manufactures were guilty to some degree, some worse or better than others. No so with Google.

[Xperia Z5 General] zacharias.maladroit:
[MENTION=8692360]Quantumkk123[/MENTION]

you already got the ROM hooked up ?

please upload somewhere & write me a PM so I can take a look at it,

currently busy so kernel has to wait
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Atm I think [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] is reviewing the rom looking to edit the kernel so this rom can work on our phones I think also a few things need to be edited but yeah we might have an unofficial oreo Rom for the z5 and it will be the first :)
[Xperia Z5 General] balrajs99:
[MENTION=8692360]Quantumkk123[/MENTION] top work! By seeing the features you listed, is this rom based on AOSP but with stock oreo things? :silly:

[MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] take your time. We just want this to work without irritating you guys. Nobody will ask for ETA. :silly: :D :highfive:
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
[MENTION=5800804]balrajs99[/MENTION] to be honest Bro thank [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] for telling me the similarities that Xperia x and z5 had in common however I figured out Machao_44 makes his rom differently to the newer ones (easier to modify) the only difference between this rom and the Xperia x is meta inf replaced with z5 along with ftf and build.prop see I tried the exact same thing with z3 + and successfully ported the z5 rom to it by changing the same things. However we don't know yet if zacharias.maladroit kernel can make rom boot or infinite boot loop we don't know but yeah that's everything and your most welcome :) I want this rom as much as you guys do.
[Xperia Z5 General] balrajs99:
Ok, I got it! :cowboy:
[Xperia Z5 General] zacharias.maladroit:
At first glance this definitely looks nicer, the issue might be in the details though :silly:

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
So [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] whats happening how much of this rom needs to edited to fully work and how is the kernel doing?
[Xperia Z5 General] zacharias.maladroit:
https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76479481&postcount=30

&

that'll get you an idea:

kernel-side:

bluetooth might be a problem, we need sdcardfs, our SoC/processor might lack certain parts that are necessary for functions of the ROM (DCC "MSM data capture and compare engine" and others),

binder needs updating,

display driver (?),

matching gpu driver (kernel-side) & adreno blobs (ROM-side)

we might need different kernel modules built for the ROM & subsystems might require rework (see attached list of kernel modules)

ROM-side:

modem needs to be replaced (M-ROM 2.4.8 by nreuge has those files in system/etc/customization/modem ),

ril / qcril might need work

wlan (system/firmware/wlan/bcmdhd) firmware might need to be replaced with ours

system/etc/wifi/wifi_txpower.conf might need modification

system/compatibility_matrix.xml might need changes

where is system/etc/mixer_paths.xml

? => system/vendor/etc/

system/vendor/lib{64}/{egl} adreno related libs need to be checked out - the driver most probably won't work with kernel-side

fingerprint & nfc libraries need to be evaluated [later]

msm_irqbalance, thermal, etc. all crucial subsystems and configurations need to be

double and triple-checked

before even attempting to put it on the device.

[I got a terrifying moment today while modifying MHL driver and got strange noises out of the phone & speaker -

better safe than sorry

]

That's only a first (and most likely incomplete) pass through the ROM files
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
So [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] I am guessing their is a lot of work to be done well just asking how long will this take is it possible you are able to do all these modification yourself or do you need help from other devs? If you are able how long will It take I can also help out but not today or tomorrow busy with exams lol
[Xperia Z5 General] zacharias.maladroit:
No ETA, I'll defer work since I need to focus on personal affairs right now, I can do some random kernel development (or rather: have to since this gives me my occasional "fix") but that's about it ... at least for now

I've pointed out the important points that need work but won't be able to do anything right now since other things need my full attention at the moment

edit:

to answer you question:

yes, help definitely would be appreciated and is required,

I won't do this on my own - since the M-ROM 2.4.8 variant for now is enough that I ask for, I'm mostly focusing on kernel work to get an optimum of performance, stability, security vs. battery runtime,

perhaps [MENTION=8041676]GreyLeshy[/MENTION] and additional folks/devs/users like [MENTION=4644172]trax7[/MENTION] have interest in taking a look at this ...
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
OK welll thanks for all your help we all really appreciate it [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] hopefully other devs can fix what needs improving as you have thankfully told us and they can fix it and maybe when you have more times on your hands you can fix everything :)
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
Great so to all devs out there who own Z5 of course please contribute and help make the first oreo Rom I will make.sure you get pointed out credits if you help Bro [MENTION=5198705]eness[/MENTION]tastim and others as well
[Xperia Z5 General] zacharias.maladroit:
We also need to

document each and every step

and what modifications are necessary so that others can easily reproduce

First and foremost:

what ROM base did you use ?

(MaChao_44) Xperia XP V1.1.5(Android O).zip ¹

or

(MaChao_44) Xperia XP V1.4(Android O).zip ²

?

[Xperia Z5 General] zacharias.maladroit:
Oh good, cause I accidentally compared your mod with that ROM :)

Only was wondering because a few files were differing that weren't obvious
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
[MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] oh lol so the changes won't be as different as you thought? :)
[Xperia Z5 General] zacharias.maladroit:
They are just like I wrote before - but just with a few additional files less to worry about

still pretty difficult - this needs quite a few experienced devs to do it (or quite some learning by doing ...)
[Xperia Z5 General] danielschauer99:
Would it be possible to use some of the drivers (gpu for example) from roms of other devices?

The OnePlus 2 has the same Snapdragon 810 SoC and there are some Oreo roms available already.

Maybe merging parts of the X and OP2 rom could help?

I dont have any experience modifiying aosp, so if Im worng, just ignore my thoughts.
[Xperia Z5 General] HEKER510:
brothers anyone screenshot this rom thanxxxxxxxx
[Xperia Z5 General] Midgardsormur:
No need to overreact, friend. Nothing important is happening in here. Our devices will continue to work no matter will there be Oreo or not. That doesn't change a damn thing.

So it will be better for everyone to just concentrate on other things and stop opening a theater around this Oreo issue. In the meantime, if someone manages to carry on with development and makes a usable build - everyone surely will get to know.
[Xperia Z5 General] ColdIllyrian:
The issue is development is on going just really slow
[Xperia Z5 General] chitose_ndy:
Oh the drama ?
[Xperia Z5 General] Duvel999:
It' s a positive development. Some Devs are trying to port 8.1 to this older Superb phone. So let's wait or buy ****ty Samsung .. I remember the old Days of the X10i:D

Nougat runs fine:)
[Xperia Z5 General] Midgardsormur:
Nougat is definitely fine enough. Both in the stock rom, and in the Lineage OS 14 and related. The phone is smooth and allows going through the daily routine effortlessly. Will change as soon as something goes wrong.

I remember the old days of Nokia 3230 when one didn't simply get updates he could download and install. Can't even imagine someone whining for getting Symbian 9 update or something like that.
[Xperia Z5 General] seilent:
it's in general section, so it's fine even though there's no release yet

not everyone can afford decent phone, there's also an option to just live with it, but there's fun factor too at developing something

you don't have to discourage it, just mind your own business

though it's not necessary either to get baited and boast on something that haven't produced, regardless you have oreo running or not, since its not yet available for public

well it's community fault too for being too pushy, just let the development going on in their own pace

Oh yeah true ! But then a device like HTC One M9, which has same Snapdragon 810 as xperia z3+ / z4 / z5, already have Oreo build/ROM...
