It's nice and all but it's not a Note. Plus at $1200 I would have to pass unless there were some kind of trade incentive. I don't trust Huawei enough to give them my personal info either.

Performance not good as they claim. After some big problems ( or scandals) they got, I think we need to wait to confirm it good or not.

eMMC instead of UFS on P10/P10+, noisy about Kirin 970 but it not good enough + thermal problem, benchmark cheating ...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Exactly,comparing any phone to a Note is kinda pointless.

It's in a class of its own,not necessarily better,but,it's a unicorn.

Buy it for the S-Pen &/or the aesthetic/feel-in-hand,otherwise,there's an ocean of phones to choose from.

Totally agree,all the mfgs & service providers,regardless of country of origin,use the same playbook,no need to fear one any more (or less) than another,regarding safeguarding your privacy/info.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goku80:
Huawei I would not touch again even if someone offered one to me. Great hardware crap software. The way that they think that they are Apple is just beyond joke. Now what I mean by that is EMUI is just a poor version of iOS and the way they restrict third party launchers from working on their phones is beyond joke. The amount of people moaning about the performance when they install pixel launchers is crazy.

I had that issue and I just hate the way they try to make you use Huawei Home launcher and scare you with safety notifications. So for me to be back on Samsung and having the note 9 which has a headphone Jack memory and no notch I say thank you very much.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dannejanne:
They chose the winner out of specsheets only? Wow. What a review.

I had a P20 Pro and was pretty disappointed in the camera. Sure the Night Mode was awesome but that was it. Otherwise for the most part it produced highly unrealistic images with waaay too agressive HDR/tone mapping. It really looked terrible at times. I found myself having to work against the camera on the P20 Pro to get the photos I wanted. I much prefer the photos my Note 9 gives me.

Also the P20 Pro had horrible optimization of software. Very choppy specially in all Google apps that stutters a lot. The software is overall pretty aggressive in its RAM handling and you won't get all notifications no matter what you do. The developers of the VLC app blocked Huawei phones from downloading their app becuase of their background process restrictions.

I do like Huawei and I've had a few of their phones but I do not like the direction they are taking with their cameras specifically.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] davidchese:
Hello, I want to buy a Redmi Note 5 pro, so I talk with the seller at Aliexpress and he told me that the global versión has a lock bootloader but the china version with global rom don't (I readed the same thing here xd) so my problem is, i want to put custom roma in the phone, but also want the B4 band for 4G, thats the one my carrier uses here in Paraguay. So, it's easy to unlock the bootloader in the global versión? Or it is possible to add the B4 band in the china version? I readed a post that show how to add bands, but no one said something about the B4. Thanks in advance!:fingers-crossed:

[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
A few years ago I had issues w/ them on a brand new unit that the volume randomly stopped working on (Non rooted) out of box. They basically gave me the run around and never did resolve it looking for any way not to resolve the issue. I lived w/ it by using a volume widget. Just the other day I wanted to follow up to see if perhaps there was a new MCU version. Mind you I did not mention the fact that I had discussed anything w/ them. All i wanted to know was the latest MCU and where I could download it. They looked at my email address and said that I returned the item I purchased from them but in reality I started the return w/ amazon but kept it obviously as I still have it. They basically say since I didn't buy it from them they won't give me any information.

This is what I asked:

This was their comical response after I explained to them that I did not actually return it just dealt w/ problem. Even more ironic is the return policy they refer me to goes to a 502 bad gateway page.

Joying, your support reps are doing your company a big disservice.

XDA community, you probably already know but I'll reiterate that you are more than likely on your own w/ any HW issues even while under "warranty". Consider this when choosing a brand. I'd recommend if you buy joying buy on amazon so you can return their crap. Oddly enough I just purchased a new unit as I'm sick of this volume issue and joying send a used unit w/a blown fuse, greasy finger prints on it, no plastic screen protector, etc. Basically a used unit that did not even power on! And they sold this as new. They emailed me saying it was amazon's fault but amazon doesn't sell returned products as NEW. It as not purchased from amazon warehouse which sells used items, this was an item listed as new from Amazon, not their amazon warehouse. Nice try Joying, i've been buying on amazon nearly daily for 5+ years and regularly purchase used items from amazon warehouse, i know the difference and how to tell.

This was their excuse for why my new unit was anything but

[Android Head-Units] cardio77:
That's the kind of experience I got also. The answers were generally so difficult to follow as to be hopeless. And they generally were antagonistic to an inquiry. Is it really so difficult to find someone who speaks and understands English. They are in New York! I have MUCH better luck buying from one of the sellers on Alibaba, Shenzhen Zest Technologies. They are responsive, can do live CHAT and communicate properly in English. You can even call them by phone. My 10" PX5 4G 32G from them has been excellent. I have 2 of them and they are the only of 5 the Chinese Android HU's, I have had, that really work properly.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Yeah I use ali express well and they are much more responsive for sure. People need to run from Joying really with this type of post sales support. The HW will fail eventually in some capacity, it's just a matter of when. And when it does, even if in warranty you're screwed. My unit was days old and i got no support. They just didn't care.

Dave
[Android Head-Units] pwood999:
I ordered direct from Joying EU, so no Amazon issues.

Support has actually been quite good, but I found emails to them need to be in simple English, and use Joying terminology where discussing anything technical.
[Android Head-Units] dgcruzing:
You got to remember...

Chinese company employing uni grads for English..

The disconnect between customer service western style and localised is huge.. believe me I have spent 8+ years working there..

While the unit I got was and is still going..(on sold the car now so don't have it).. I am looking at another brand for the car I have got now..

In saying that.. there is still plenty wrong with Google's service to market.. and also apples..as they also have problems on a larger scale that are handled via ..profit first.. don't get me started on the Google/Samsung Nexus 10.. such a dam good tablet..and it actually still boots but the browning of the screen and the way both of them washed thier hands off it..shameful..multi nationals at thier best.. not even concerned that via the screen turning brown they have developed a environmental disaster.. in that not even concerned where it ends up after they have dispatched a faulty piece of equipment.. out of sight out of mind..

Anyway getting back on track.. Joying is just another south Chinese company cobbling together parts from multi sources..and by passing middle men to sell direct.. it's a shame that the likes of Huawei or one of the other brands don't take on this project to have the best Auto equipment in the industry so they can capture the in drive experience..

I mean..put it in perspective.. Here maps..a 3 billion dollar Valuation.. why?.. because it's about location..and in car by the Europeans..

Still not sure on where android auto is going..but don't mind it as have used it in a few hire cars of late.. seems to work well..

But is not a dedicated Android box in the car .and do miss my Joying..(or should I say..just Android doing its GPS thing.. movies and or music or audio books )..

Haven't seen any of the Tiawanese come.to market with anything as yet.. ??

Japanese still not into it as they are relying on Android auto to fill that gap..
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Yes, it does work well. I used that in some rental cars I regularly drive for my work.

The problem is that it (currently) only supports Google Maps and Waze, which are both online navigation systems.

Google Maps can be used offline, but then it is completely offline. No traffic info either.

If Google would allow for offline maps and online traffic info, the choice would not be so hard.
[Android Head-Units] tommylotto:
I had a decent experience with Joying.

First, I am part of the problem. From Amazon, I ordered the 8.8" horizontal 4/32GB PX5 unit because it was the only head unit that would fit in my car. My install was delayed because I needed to order a fascia from London and a harness/CANBUS adaptor from Germany. The delay was so long that the return window was about to close before I could install and test. So, I returned the first unit and reordered the exact same thing. It was not cool, but I did what I thought I needed to do to protect my interests. So, I probably created one of those used units that they tried to sell as new.

Anyway, once I got the unit installed and running I had a few problems (of course). When I contact Joying by email, they knew I had returned and reordered, and they kinda shamed me (I deserved it...). However, they did try to help me in their broken English. It was a slow and clunky process. I would send an email asking about a problem. A day later they would suggest a solution or ask me to post a video of the problem. A day later I would post a video of the problem, and a day later they would post a solution. They did follow through day after day until I was finally satisfied or I stopped complaining.

Issues included: 1) no audio in ZLink CarPlay emulation while in ACC mode (fixed with an MCU upgrade); 2) Their TPMS software wouldn't work, because essential software buttons could not be be accessed on the wide format horizontal screen. The buttons were located off screen, and the software could not pan down to those buttons (they actually generated new software for me because of my complaint); and 3) I could not assign steering wheel controls to commands in ZLink (not supported).

Current issues: Cannot turn off damn beeps, radio tuner keeps losing presets (but I never use that app), lines generated for backup camera do not approximate car width and cannot be adjusted, and (as stated above) steering wheel controls cannot be used to control CarPlay in ZLink app. But overall, I'm a happy camper.

I knew getting a no-name Chinese head unit was going to be an adventure and would require compromise. I was actually surprised by the level of support, but I guess my expectations were pretty low.
[Android Head-Units] dgcruzing:
Haven't used it with offline maps as yet..

And the android head units I have been mostly using Here maps as the offline ability is great..and of course when it gets lost..I used to have the phone and Here maps working arguing with each other on which way to go.. lol..a.i is not quite there where we can introduce them together and let them have a full on couples argument ...:laugh:
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
I'm merely stating that there is ZERO second hand support. So if you buy it used, second hand or from anyone but joying they refuse to help or even provide into as to where you can get updates for their HW. Mind you I've purchased 4 different NEW units from them now. One from aliexpress I think it was and three from amazon. I have also had to deal w/ their NY branch as I had a DOA unit that they wanted me to ship back to CHINA when it came from the USA. I eventually got them to let me ship it back where it came from (NY) but WTF People? Anyway they're great when they work but when they fail it's a nightmare. As you did, I spend probably 4 months w/ the one email a day Chinese communication and got nowhere with them. Very frustrating but not atypical sadly.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] OttoSan:
I purchased a Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4 (SHT-W09) about a week ago. I've been generally happy with it so far except for one minor complaint.

I HATE the Huawei Share dialog that pops up when I try to share from most apps. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the default Android share menu either. On my previous tablet (Nvidia Shield) I was using Fliktu so I could customize the sharing options for most of my apps. (Google's failure to enforce a standard sharing dialog across Android is another thing that annoys me, but that's off-topic here.)

On my new MediaPad, I can install Fliktu, but I have been unable to figure out how to force the tablet to use it as the default share application. It just continues to use the Huawei Share dialog no matter what I try changing with Fliktu. Has anyone found a way to override the default sharing app on the MediaPad so I can use a different solution (like Fliktu)?

I have been considering trying to use the steps outlined in this post to try uninstalling Huawei Share from the tablet:

https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

But, I'm concerned that going that route could have unintentional consequences or break something else, so I thought I'd check here first to see if anyone had any suggestions or input.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I just wanted to know does Z2 play supports Google camera with portrait mode?

I tried few apks but not even one is getting installed.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] indrekh:
I'm using GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk. Can't post the link to the site as I'm new here and the forum won't let me, but you should be able to find it by the filename.

It's based on Google Camera 5.1.018. I haven't had any luck getting newer versions to install, but that one works fine, including Portrait mode, Lens Blur and Photosphere. I had to disable video stabilisation, otherwise video recording would crash. If front camera gives a green tint, there's a setting to fix that in Advanced -> Fix Camera API2.
