i have deactivated chrome. always the first thing i do on android smartphones. i'm using internet from Samsung, which consumes 11.5mAh/min. Installed an adblocker for it. Safes data and battery. I'm also using the night mode of samsungs browser which reduces the power consumption of oled screens drastically.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] KevinAce:
Hi. Do you deactivate it by just disabling it? I would like to try an alternative browser. View attachment 4518947
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] madphone:
yes, just disable it, won't consume any battery anymore. Even links from google now feed open now in samsungs night mode instead of using chromes web view.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] KevinAce:
Thanks. Any chance Samsung's web browser syncs with Google Chrome so when I'm on my desktop, I can see my history?

I know all developers have been having issues with Encryption in WM6.1. Thus causing the removal of encryption completely.

I found this page today while I was looking through Microsofts Download Center.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...cf-ef96-4567-b817-215e24668f75&DisplayLang=en

It essentially is a link to a fix for encryption on previous version of Pocket PC's. And since our phones are built from the Core of Windows CE why not try it out.

What I was thinking is why not try to install it on our phones (testing purposes) and see if it fixes the encryption issues.

Just a productive thought.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
This seems like it is for use in IE, not sure it's a fix for encryption on SD cards....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] c@rL0$:
Yeah it says for over the internet activities, but what also caught my attention was where it adds security for applications. (maybe SC cards or something)

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dark_polok:
Hello!

I just bought my OnePlus 6 2 days ago. I've switched from a Xiaomi phone. One problem I am facing with this phone is I cannot individually select the preferred network type or each of my sims.

My Sim-1 (the data sim) is running on 4G-LTE network and Sim-2 is running on 3G-UMTS. I'd like my Sim-2 to run on 2G-GSM ONLY network as it saves battery and GSM signal strength for this particular sim is better in my area. However, neither the Sim & network menu, nor the *#*#4636#*#* code menu lets me select the preferred network type for Sim-2.

The code menu on my Xiaomi allowed me to set them individually. Is there any way the same can be done on OnePlus 6?

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] anirudhnyg:
Just switch "Mobile data" to SIM-2 and change the preferred network type to 2G and then change "Mobile data" back to SIM-1, this will keep SIM2 in 2G mode
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dark_polok:
Thank you very much! Seems to be working :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] surface13:
I saw this last week, changed it on my phone as well, and it worked great!

However, after updating to 5.1.6, I noticed it changed them back. And dual 4g option was disabled by default.

When I keep sim1 on 4g/3g/2g, I switch to sim2, change it to 2g only. Then switch back to sim1 it changed to 3g/2g. I leave it like that, and switch back to sim2, and it also is set to 3g/2g. I have the dual 4g option disabled.

When I enabled the Dual 4G option, I was able to make sim1 4g/3g/2g preferred, change sim2 to 2g. Switch back to sim1 and it stayed with the 4g, switched to sim2 and it was still on 2g.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dark_polok:
Thank you so much!

I was almost losing my mind again after the 5.1.6 update as battery consumption had increased because settings got changed automatically. On top of that, the prior method wasn't working. But the method you mentioned for 5.1.6 is working fine now. You just saved my night's sleep!

Thanks again
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] surface13:
5.1.9 seems to have broken this. Whatever I have sim1 on, sim2 follows. Anytime find a work around to have 1 sim with 4g/3g/2g and the other 2g only?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] amanjumon:
How can I do that in OnePlus 5?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dark_polok:
Back to the same problem in 5.1.11
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dark_polok:
UPDATE: I think I've found a workaround. Manually select network operator for the second sim and select the 2G version of the network. Seems to be working for me. Try it and let me know if it works for you.

UPDATE 2: Nevermind. It reverted back to whatever setting I had for sim 1. This is so annoying!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] surface13:
Seems to be working for me in 5.1.11

Works whether or not I have dual 4g enabled

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sinister_Chill:
In the beginning I would like to present you my device and experience with Huawei, I am a smartphone geek and I had many devices in my life, and the most sentimental hate I have about is Huawei, I bought my favorite Honor 7, 2-3 months after it was released, Huawei was something new for me because in those days the "flagship" Hisilicon kirin 935 in 2015-16 was cool and new, not to mention fast charging, ar blaster (remote control), 20 Mpix camera with HDR and slow-motion recording at 60fps, revolutionary thermal construction, "Hey Honor" head control, audio + Hi-Fi, several annual updates of new functions and Android from version 5.0-6.0 until ... until the moment Huawei shoves its "sales system" of new devices, in previous device brands in which I sat I had an impression that my device is "on time" but in Huawei is quite the opposite and here it gets worse. Users of Honor 7 know that the last update of Honor 7 was in November 2017. (version B396). In brief, I will tell you one thing: Huawei gives a fu** about us, even if Ren Zhengfei is reading this, let him understand that we are awake. Every device that you release and is supported until the end of "materialistic" two years, put our Honors in the trash can which means that since the last update the device gets, youre phone starts to get boring and older which brings you to buy a new Huawei, but wait a minute, I just bought my honor 2 years ago and it's not good anymore? Naturally, we look at the internet why we do not get new upgrades where everything becomes clear the processors produced for Huawei are specially designed to work only for two years! Then Huawei tells us that you need a better version of Open Gl / CL and that the new EMUI will not go ble ble ble. And then we understand such a device with pseudo-strong peripherals it loses support after two years and spending hunderds of $ isnt worth it. So the question to Huawei is why you are making the same mistakes, why you are blocking the bootloader, and why EMUI is so limited, after all EMUI can compete with MIUI or Samsung Experience, just open up for people, update our devices more often so that they do not retire at the age of 2 years. It's all artificial. For now it is the silence before the storm because I hope that people who have reached to the end of this message will understand that people who purchased Honor 7,8,9,10 will be disappointed and how they will be treated after the warranty period and the end of Android support, where unfortunately the company counts money and not users.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] boris dmello:
Honor/ Huawei are only good for hardware, the software experience is not that good, plus their partnership with XDA was just a publicity stunt, I had thought that there would be more development for the Honor devices but it's just false promises, I would have never purchased Honor 8 if I knew that there won't be any ROM development for the device
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
LMFAO. Wow. You posted a whining session. Good for you. Hate to break it to you but Huawei is no different than any other company. Samsung, Apple, Sony. All the same. How about you go build your own smartphone so you can find something else to complain about. Claiming that Huawei specifically design their phones to only last two years. Are you daft?! Here's a little secret for you bud, the head of honor USA (his name's Chris) has been getting all kinds of responses from customers regarding the bootloader issue, but you wouldn't know that since you are so high up on your horse. So while you might think Huawei is some evil corporation designing a grand scheme to screw people, you couldn't be farther from the truth. People like you are exactly the reason XDA has gone downhill and it's sad.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Meemo23:
I agree with you on this, everyone on xda whines but no one does anything about it. It is an open community and anyone can make a custom rom. It doesn't take much to make an aosp rom or even a custom EMUI rom. I just don't do it because people on here piss me off. They then go on a rant session like this like we owe them something. The community has lost respect for devs we make roms and they make us look like we own the software. They request things like I am free to do what you want me to do? NO I do it out of my own time that I have spare for everyone. But when I hear people get all cry baby mode and request stuff like they want it now it disheartens me from deving at all. This is why there is no development I just make my own rom the way I like it. At least I know no one will complain and moan after.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoobydu:
I guess there is the option to ignore all the nonsense posts, upload your rom with no support and let people decide.

Either that or perhaps share your build scripts with those of us with some knowledge of oneplus and xperia builds, so we can build our own honor rom too :)

No demands intended, just trying to blag some build scripts :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jintrigger:
That's because devs aren't transparent with the users. When you just pop up with some software, of course, the users will think it's easy and takes no time. Developers are pretentious and users are ignorant. Users would have less to whine about if they actually understood what was going on half the time...That's why everyone got all this tech, but no one understands how to use it and just revert to complaining. It's only gonna get worst for devs/users down the line.

But shid, where a guide to make a custom EMUI rom? I'll make a rom for the culture.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
Learning to build a ROM isn't difficult. There are literally hundreds of courses you can take, but instead 99% of users are lazy and don't care to learn. Most developers AREN'T pretentious. They simply aren't required to teach others about what they do and how they do it. That's on the user.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jintrigger:
How can you tell an average user that creating a rom isn't difficult? How can you determine how difficult something is to someone else? You just proved my point (considering you are a dev).....Cause that's pretentious. Sure you may be right...It's not my job as a developer to teach others how/what I do, but because development is treated as some easy to do thing we are here.

Once you understand something it's easier to appreciate it...User don't understand and if we keep giving them stuff with them understanding what they are getting you created spoiled users. I'm not saying go teach every user what a dev does, but transparency is important.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
I say it's simple because my 11 year old can code. Learning is easy if you put in the effort. I myself, have been developing on Android since the Motorola Cliq. So, a little over 9 years. I've directed tons of people (even a few here on XDA) how to go about coding and each is now doing it on their own. It's not pretentious (that's not the right word anyway) to conclude that ANYONE can learn with dedication and time. So, say I build a ROM then go into details about what I've done. Who does that benefit if 96% of users have no clue? So then I have to go in depth and explain what's going on. That's a waste of my time which I donate. I don't get paid to work on Android. It's all for fun. When it becomes work, I stop. There is an amazing website called GitHub where most devs upload their work and you can see what they're doing. If there's something you don't understand, then you ask. You can not expect anyone to give you anything. Like I said, ANYONE can build a ROM. I thoroughly encourage you to dive into ROM building of that peaks your interest. Sadly, majority of users don't care to understand. They just want free things and immediately.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jintrigger:
Transparency seems to work well enough with game developers. Like I said, seeing how something is made helps you appreciate it more. That doesn't mean a user needs to learn how to make a custom rom to appreciate the process, but we can agree to disagree on that note.

However, just because your 11 year old can develop (while awesome) doesn't make coding simple. I honestly hate when people make it seem like being a developer is just a simple and easy thing. Only a hobbyist or someone who lacks passion would make that claim. I mean I know kids who can write stories, but does that mean being an author is easy? I know kids who can draw well, but does that make being an artist easy?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
Actually, it does. Writing a book means you're an author. Singing a song makes you a singer. These titles are often held to such a high standard that it makes no sense. If I draw a picture, I am an artist. I don't need a degree or even to have gone to an art school. Being a developer is easy. Those who view it otherwise are the ones that doubt themselves and aren't able to set realistic goals. Or again, they hold the titles to a ridiculous standard. XDA has offered courses for coding, and those are by far the simplest. Nothing is unattainable unless you yourself put that doubt in your mind.

Earlier, I wasn't stating that users need to learn to build ROMs to understand what's going on, so my apologies if it appeared that way. But if a user simply wants to learn the definitions of certain words, or what a process is then that user should on his/her own look it up or ask. It's genuinely that simple. While it may take time, everything is out there and available but again, nobody wants to put in the effort.

Game developers post changelogs. 99% of Android developer do the same. Fixed this bug where blah blah blah. Same thing. But believe me when I say that there are tons of things they don't post in the changelogs because they know users aren't going to understand it and well time is money.

Back onto the whole Huawei thing though. Yes, companies can always be more transparent. That's a given. But, they don't owe that to us. They owe us absolutely nothing. While personally I'd love more transparency, it's generally not that easy to do. Maybe it costs them too much to maintain all the devices, maybe they don't have a big enough dev team. IDK. But, to go straight to Huawei is screwing us over is well.. Moronic. When we as users boot our phones up we agree to their ToS before even using the phone for the first time. Hell, soon as you purchase the phone you agree to it. It's the same with every tech company. Ok, I feel like I wrote way too much. So, I guess this will conclude it for me. It was a nice change discussing things with you. You don't see that often on the internet unfortunately. Have a great day
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jintrigger:
Yeah, I think I see your point. I feel my friend sums up it up pretty well...

"Easy" is subjective. Everything is "easy" with enough experience. It was difficult when I was starting, but I loved it so I kept going. I'm both a hobbyist and a professional."

I guess when I really think about it, I really just want people to learn how to be inquisitive and teach themselves. I hate this lazy user era we are in...All this tech and barely anyone knows how to use it. No one benefits from it....It's aggravating.

As much as I hate to say it, your right. I also enjoyed our conversation...I strive to carry out polite/constructive conversations with people on the internet. Normally I'm challenging people on their thoughts, but for once I was challenged and it made me reconsider some things. Thanks and you have a great day as well.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rumpelst:
I have to say that if Huawei phone gets regular updates for 2 years than good fo you. My last Android phone by HTC had one update after release and that’s all. Somebody wrote here that every brand is doing the same. It’s not true. My very old iPhone 5s just got a new system like any other newer iPhones. It will get normal updates until end of iOS 11 in September 2018. 5s was released in September 2013, so 5 years of constant updates... On the other hand will you be able to live with one phone for 5 years ?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rumpelst:
Agraceful mentioned Apple. There is a really big deference in that regard between Android and other OS’s. Windows phone were also supported for a very long time. I think the cause of the problem that people do not care if they have newest google security updates, support is not good to advertise. What is or was good to advertise are the numbers. Screen size, pixel density, processor speed, aperture of the lens. Numbers are important but more important is software and developer support after you buy phone. Htc 10 had some minor flaws which were not polished at all because they did not care... Best phone with Android I had in that regard was Asus ZenFone 2. Asus did not update Android from 5 to 6 fo a very long time but 5 was polished with a constant updates, phone had a one or two month old security patches no older. I wonder how it looks in Huawei.

I don't get it. They now have to update to new security patches and we have been promised Oreo and they are already testing in China.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] scoobydu:
Lol, well perhaps more people could try harder to learn, but wild generalisations don't really help anyone.

If you have family and friends in the arts or engineering etc, none of them know what a ROM actually is, nevermind to actually build one.

You are assuming a level of computing understanding that is just not as wide as you appear to believe.

It would be appreciated if you guys can lower the tone a bit. There was at first a "polite/constructive conversation" but it derailed quite fast.

Not sure if your whole conversation has something to do with the thread topic, but please stay civil, any time.

Also, if you see posts which break the rules, please just report them, don't reply in threads.

November 2017? i'm quite jealous, my idol 4s(alcatel main 2016 flagship) never received a major update and only ever received one security patch, the february 2017 patch. We're in june 2018 and my phone runs android 6 and a 1,5 year old security patch, all of this in a 400 euro phone. Software updates nowadays are a niche privilege, if you want them buy a google or apple phone. You pay a premium but if software is a priority, they re the only players in town.
