Incontro Remember if was here,non the XDA forum, or on any other social media like telegram or Twitter, but there was one guy saying that the pie update, was looking "more stock" ( regarding the interface ) but here looks the same of every HTC.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
The only thing what looks still more like HTC are the statusbar icons and the sense launcher. Quick settings and everything else is stock Android.

Some apps like HTC telephone app still haven't received a major overhaul, the call screen looks same as before, I guess when the updates are finished for the 3 devices, they gonna make it more like material design or taking Google telephone app. But let's see

Users should remember that you will have pretty bad battery life after you update to PIE.

My old man senses are tingling. There be many of "battery life sucks" in the horizon.

Comments and post when the update comes out for this phone.

Android needs to reindex and reCache pretty much everything. There might be weird bugs that stick around until you reboot or do a factory reset.

It always happens even with iOS updates on iPhones.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
The beta testers reported better battery life for all 3 devices on PIE.

Recache is done so fast now and works so different now, that it barely makes a difference on battery now. Earlier with dalvik cache yea, but not now with ART.

But yea, I suggest too, to do a factory reset. Gonna tell that my parents too (u11 and u11+) and will do the same on my u12+

What I do not understand is why people that are not interested in this company ( I can understand this from your message ), are in the HTCs thread only to denigrate and says bad things. If you have any good comment to do, a constructive comment, do it, otherwise please, read only.

I don't want looks rude but see message like yours, are only wasting of space and pages on the forum. If I am not interested in a specific brand or smartphone, I don't even open the dedicated thread.

I think they'll start licensing their brand in more countries, but won't build and sell any smartphones much longer. Look at India as well as the recently listed HTC Wildfire phones in Russia. They are sold under the name of HTC, thus HTC will earn over the license. But they are build and sold by a licensee. I'd say for sure those phones in Russia and India won't be of the build quality and engineering art of real HTC phones.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] donkeykong1:
I don't mind them licensing their brand as long as actual phones carry HTC legacy and are to HTC standards. If that proves to be the case, I'm sticking with the name. If not.... Well, I'm in big trouble then [emoji848]

Android 9 Pie for htc u12+ is ready but....

https://mobile.twitter.com/LlabTooFeR

No update yet.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] geojoking:
For the sake of easiness, I'll put what the tweet says, here:

Android 9 update for U12+ is kinda ready BUT

-No gesture support

-No digital wellbeing

-Outdated look of system apps (ex. Messages)

-Inconsistent animations and lags

Bugs (at least for me)

-Lost half of the internal memory after flashing, lol

-Bluetooth audio issues (low volume)

The lack of gesture support is what I find the most annoying.

The messaging app being antique, I could care less, I use Google Messages anyway.

If Llabtoofer already has it, it means it's final, so we will all get the bugs.

Google released Pie 10 months ago. After 10 months this update should make coffee, because we have fully working roms on every top notch phone.

[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] geojoking:
I think we need to be realistic. The company does not have the necessary resources to release timely updates, they're doing the best they can.

And, to tell you the truth, I can use the phone as it is now. Sure, I'd love the update, but I have patience and I'm still content with my phone and choosing HTC. But hey, that's just me, I'd rather be content and patient, than disappointed and angry (due to the lack of updates). I use this philosophy in my daily life as well :)

[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] qriozum:
I do not think so.

It was always the case that Football "made available" early versions of the systems. Users within the framework of OTA received software that differed not only with the revision (in numbering), but often with the whole penultimate term.

In my opinion, at least Football received "leaks" from HTC thanks to which the bunch of custom was the base of beta testers, because the errors were described in the xda forum, so the developers of HTC had an insight :)

[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ijuanp03:
That's adaptive brightness. Everytime your phone dims in a specific area (for example, your home), you HAVE TO increase the brightness to YOUR desired level and do that until your phone "learns" your setting. That's why it's called adaptive brightness. It uses a combination of your sensor, location and your preferred level of brightness.

You HAVE TO do this for a number of times only then will it get your settings right.

After many tries with all the good dark themes I was finally able to get PitchBlack to work. Everything back to the way I like it. Updated to Android Pie, rooted with Magisk and dark black theme with no white backgrounds. After having black backgrounds for years I cannot stand white. One of the main reasons I always stuck with HTC. The ability to unlock the bootloader for root and the sdcard slot.

But Samsung has practically made it so we don't hardly need root. They have built in stock dark mode. Something HTC should have done years ago. But now that I have my HTC U12+ updated and themed I'm gonna go back to my beloved U12+ for a while.
