[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] doesntfazer:
I have the Chinese version of the phone, Model number JSN-AL00a I had it imported into the USA. The first thing that I did with the device is factory reset it and use the gms installer And yes, the first thing that I did after that was update the phone. I think the first thing I am going to do when I get home is try downgrading the device or reinstalling the firmware using hiSuite if that's even an option. Do you know if it is possible to install a different region on it?

Also the data is locked to 2G for my provider but I rarely use data, so I really don't care about that. Was hoping maybe I could do a kernal update and unlock some US friendly bands. But I know the bootloader can't be unlocked so that's a pipe dream.

I guess when I get home from work I will try the downgrade, if you have any suggestions as to what I can do in the meantime let me know.

Thanks.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Diabolical_Mir:
I'm sorry I have no idea how your would go about downgrading the firmware on the honor 8x.

Honestly, the phone has been globally released, and I would return that Chinese unit, and get the global retail version if possible in USA, or at least get an EU market unit.

Also, it might be possible to upgrade the firmware with a global version, but I have no clue how to go about doing that.

it is entirely possible that the Chinese variant is intentionally set to not allow you to change the launcher, although I am just guessing.

EDIT: The version I have, the build number is JSN-L22 8.2.0.101 (C185).
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] doesntfazer:
Looks like the global version doesn't support enough bands for me to use it in the USA effectively. Oh well. If I can't get it figured out tonight I am going to send it back. The retailer I bought it off on Ebay already sent me a return shipping label. So we will see what's going on tonight. Worst case I have to go back to my crappy lg v10 until I can find something else. Any suggestions on a different mid-budget phone just in case I have to send this one back?

Thanks

Nokia 7 plus, the Nokia 6.1 Plus with stock android and unlockable bootloader is a good option in the midrange segment.

Mi A2 is decent, but has it's drawbacks like no headphone jack, and a fairly small (3080 mah) battery by today's standards.

The Mi Redmi Note 5 pro and the Mi Redmi Note 6 pro are also good, but come with MIUI which may not appeal to many. You can put your own custom launcher, but some people prefer stock.

So nothing I did worked, and I couldn't change the region. But I did notice that even after a factory reset of the phone that google services stayed on the phone. I know this is a long shot, but is it possible that the gms installer corrupted something? if so, how would I go about uninstalling?
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] kamathsonline:
Thank You, I too had this launcher problem ... but now when I make it default, it is forcing me to add a screen password/pin. Not allowing me to install without a pin/password. This is irritating.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] pausethegame:
I also have the Chinese version of the phone with the same model number. I can't change my default launcher to any launcher i download either. There's no button to do it. Can you let me know if you're able to do it?
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Matteo Mit.:
Hi doesntfazer,

would you be so kind to tell me where did you download your GMS installer? Have you got that link, yet?

My Chinese phone is JSN-AL00a just like your: I downloaded and installed so many packages of GMS installer, but none of them did worked for me.

10x in advance

--- EDIT

Solved! (Thanks, btw)

My phone is Honor 8X Max. After installing ARE-AL00 8.2.0.134(C00) I can't change luncher. No option to set launcher here: Settings->Apps and notifications->Default apps. Any idea to get this option back or how back to previous firmware?
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Onecton:
This is ridiculous. I have the same problem and I am at a total loss. This is complete bull****.... I can set a Dozent of Default Apps. But the launcher option is completely missing... Wtf

Is there a way to bypass the default huawei launcher? on the ARE-AL00 8.2.0.134 (C00) Build?

Okay nvrmind, i found what i was looking for guide-remove-apps-bloat-adb-root tread carefully tho, since removing somne stuff can result in a brick.

Also this prodcedure to get another launcher to be enabled permanently is only needed on a Chinese Rom.... furthermore make sure you have the 3rd party launcher of your choice installed prior to remocing stuff ...

I removed

com.huawei.android.launcher

com.huawei.vdrive

com.huawei.vassistant

that did the trick for me, at least for now ... Nova gets picked up as only Launcher and all is dandy, also vassistant removes the chinese voice helper thing, so you can run google assistant with a long press on the middle menu button ....

For further reference on what to remove check these Links ( pasted from the afforementioned Thread) credit for these links belong to mattrask i just put them here for easier acces

I have installed Apex Launcher and if I remove com.huawei.android.launcher then will always run Apex Launcher when I press the middle navigation button?
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Yoshioka S:
Hooray!

I was succeeded changing the launcher!

Although it was very difficult ...

I am sorry that I am not good at English because I am Japanese.

--------------------------------------------

Be sure to install the launcher software, you want to use first.

<I use the Microsoft launcher>

After that,

From PC,

the command

"adb shell pm disable-user com.huawei.android.launcher"

send.

It is safer than uninstallation.

By the way it is necessary to set the "developer mode" and set the USB debug mode etc.

However, a concrete method, that is, how to connect to a PC, how to send an adb command, etc., is omitted here.

The launcher that was originally included remains in the body without being erased so it is safer than uninstallation.

When installing multiple launchers, at this point, you will see a selection screen of which launcher to use.

Please be aware that when you open the default application settings screen, the original launcher is restored. Conversely, it is safe as you can restore it.

I am sending comfortable everyday without witnessing the launcher that was originally included. Of course, the home button will call the desired launcher.

How to change the default launcher? I shall be thankful.

Hi,

I was not able too: there are so many problems with it, (as I read in other topics), that I have decided to wait.

Actually, I was only able to install on my device the entire Google world.

Launcher Options after update

Hi there, I got the Honor 8xMax and I was able to at first change the launcher, then after a software update, the option to change was gone, NOW after another update, the option is BACK but it says "You will not be able to switch back to a third-party launcer if you swithch to Huawei Home." I havent switched to Huawei Home after the update and the other launcers I have are there but they arent lit up for me to chose and the one that's lit up says Drawer Home. What can I do to choose Microsft Launcher? If I do a factory reset and start over, how can I get Microsoft Launder to be my default?
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] jamesbond22:
Exactly that same for me. :(

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] cd993:
This looks good, though do you believe that rooting the Mate 20 Pro will be achievable? As it stands we don't even have the option to Allow OEM Unlocking in developer settings and so without that we're pretty stuck....
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
The mate 20 looks sublime, but after the diabolical development scene here on the p20 pro I have to say I wouldn't buy another Huawei as it's going to be a lot worsen following the bootloader decision, even though there is a paid for alternative it's enough to put off so many users, coupled with the mental way Huawei ROMs are made too.

Root will happen, but I'd be very surprised to see many developers go near any Huawei or Honor device again.

The picture posted is for the honour view 10 ?

(I googled the model number) as yet the only way to get a rooted device is to buy it pre-rooted. I'm guessing its possible to inject root into a rom image but getting it flashed is a different problem as it looks like Huawei has blocked manual updates from the device and as I understand it you are only able to update ROMs directly from them ?

It wasn't release and probably never be released as Huawei confirms that they will not release the Pie kernel source code so root will close to impossible to happen as of the moment.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] garak0410:
The Pixel Stand is not working as designed. When I place it on the stand and set it up to do photo frame/slideshow, nothing happens. It just sits on an ambient screen and doesn't even move around that ambient screen to avoid screen burn-in.

I spent a good amount of time on a remote session with Google with doing various cache/data cleans and removing updates and things like that and nothing is resolving it.

I also had a problem completing setup with my Google Home Hub and I am wondering if perhaps this is a Google Assistant issue. The Google Home app kept prompting me to complete the step to Enable VoiceMatch and it would just go into a perpetual PLEASE WAIT. I had to grab another non-pixel 3 phone to complete that setup in the Google Home app.

It charges but does nothing else as it should.

Anyone else encounter this?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I just received my Pixel Stand as well. During setup I set it to turn on the Always On Display when on the stand. However, like you, I'm noticing that it just sits there with the same screen, just dimmed. I'm afraid of premature screen burn in because of this.

So, I tried turning 'Always On Display' while on the Pixel Stand off but that option is nowhere in settings. Under Settings > Display > Ambient Display, it's turned off but still stays on when on the stand. So it has to be a second setting somewhere else. I just can't find it and I've dug through everything. Until I can figure this out I'm hesitant to even use the Pixel Stand.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] garak0410:
This for sure isn't the fix but I did a factory reset and this time when I set up the stand, I got a new prompt that I didn't see the first time...it was about Google Assistant...completed the setup and bam, it works. Even the ambient display dims better. So, as I kind of suspected, it was a Google Assistant issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
for the record, you can find the settings at: settings > connected devices > previously connected devices > then tap the cog next to 'pixel stand'
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
Yikes. I really don't want to factory reset. My setup screens all worked perfectly fine. It's just that during the setup, when it asked me to enable Always On Display while the phone is on the stand, I said 'Yes'. Now I can't turn it off. If I have to factory reset to fix that I'm going to be quite annoyed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
see my above reply, then simply forget the stand, and re-add it again with the settings you desire.

I'm not sure how I missed your comment but that did the trick. Thanks!

My photos only showed up once = and then never again and I couldn't figure out how to get them to show again. Will try Forgetting in Connected Devices as recommended above - shouldn't have to jump thru hoops to make an 80 dollar charging stand do it's tricks
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] garak0410:
I found that forgetting and adding back didn't resolve this...a full factory reset was my only fix...something wonky going on with their software. Hope it gets updated soon.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Geekser:
Me too - watching my photos while the phone is charging is not worth a reset to me - but it might be enough to make me want to return the damn charger - 80 bucks and this is what we get? Damn!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] garak0410:
I've thought a lot about the stands...beyond the slide show, I really don't want "always on" all the time...and there is no way to turn it off unless room is dark. So it truly may not be an $80 value, though most OEM wireless chargers are pricey. I just prefer the OEM accessories. I'd still be on a Note 9 if the camera wasn't such a letdown.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ogarlen:
Not very happy with my $80 wireless charging stand so far, so hoping that future software updates will fix: 1) Photo frame only working in a lit room, 2) Time not moving around screen (like clock screensaver) and notifications not appearing unless I double tap to view regular lock screen. Fingers crossed...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] garak0410:
Agreed...the only notifications that appear over the slideshow or ambient screen is text messages. Nothing else pops up.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ogarlen:
Guess I'm trying to understand the concern with screen burn-in though. The dim stand mode is not much different than the typical always on display screen, so how could it make the phone more susceptible to burn-in?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Paz9:
strange, the pixel stand puts the clock and notifications in one place and doesnt move them around.

is there a way to make the clock move around the screen?

shouldnt the clock be moving instead of always in the middle?

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

did the clock start moving around afterwards?

i cant get the clock to move around teh screen even after a fact reset.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ogarlen:
The only workaround I've found for now is to turn on the standard clock screensaver from settings, which is a moving dim clock, however it cancels the extra functionality of the stand app.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Paz9:
so everytime we dock we'd have to start it manually?

abit counter intuitive, seems like this was rushed without much of it thought through
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Archangel:
I dont know if anyone else is really REALLY let down by the amount of continual problems with regard to the Pixel 3?? I mean wow, there are all kinds of problems again with this phone??? I have had the og Pixel, Pixel 2, and the Pixel 3 and each phone has had more than its share of problems. I have noticed that the "Pixel" excitement has calmed down a lot too probably because of these problems. I had a Galaxy S9 before this Pixel 3 and NEVER had any issues with it at all. I mean this is "Google" shouldn't we expect more?? Or has everyone just come to expect problems and the usual answers of "fix incoming", "thats not a bug its a feature", and my favorite "were looking into this" LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Paz9:
beginning to miss my op6 right about now haha

just forget the pixel stand and don't go through the set up and it keeps the display off while charging.

other than that this phone is great,I do notice it's a littleslower than my op6 sometimes (opening apps sometimes instant sometimes not, maybe an EAS feature) but I think that's because my op6 had a kernel installed from the get go.

[Android Head-Units] level5music:
Hi All - I've had a Joying Sofia 3GR head unit since March 2017. I need to replace it. I currently have a 2008 Nissan 350Z without Bose or navigation, if this helps in the discussion. I like, but certainly do not love my Sofia unit, overall the experience has gotten far, far too frustrating not to replace this head unit. So here's what I do not like about the unit, and what I'd like to fix with new hardware.

1 - Right off the bat, the unit doesn't fit into any double-din dash kits I have found for this car. I've tried Metra and Scosche kits for the 350z, and the unit is a few mm too wide and too tall for it. Given the way the Z's center stack is designed, going with a unit where the display sticks out and is wider and taller than double-din likely won't work as I only have about 10mm of wiggle room before it touches the HVAC controls or prevents me from opening the center console compartment.

2 - I'm looking for a new unit with capacitive or no buttons. My Joying unit's NAVI button mechanism has failed, so it's stuck in. In addition, the volume encoder randomly adjusts the volume without me touching it. I'll be driving and all of a sudden the volume rises quickly and drastically, I can't have that obviously, it's too large of a distraction. Ideally, I'd like to get my factory steering wheel volume controls back. This has proven difficult as the standard aftermarket steering wheel control modules in the industry are frustrating and there's little documentation about it at all, and I don't believe my car has a CANbus or anything similar. I don't want to stick a BT remote on the wheel, that's silly.

3 - GPS randomly dies completely and bringing it back is luck of the draw. If I go into the Car Settings app or any GPS utility app, it cannot reach satellites. Ever. I've tried a reboot, I've tried manual A-GPS refreshes, I've tried making sure the date/time is correct, I've tried factory resetting it. Nothing, absolutely nothing fixes it with consistency, factory resets have gotten it back sometimes, but not always, and not currently. I guess this could be hardware, I just don't know. Navigation is a big part of why I decided to get one of these units in the first place.

4 - Poor performance. I'm trying to have to interact with the unit as little as possible. I'd like to be able to quickly set the music I want to hear, or the navigation destination of my choice, and have it work as reasonably well as say, my phone does. Currently, the Sofia unit hiccups, gets stuck, crashes, sound glitches, etc often. Usually at least once a day.

5 - Poor sound quality. It just doesn't sound as good as my factory CD player did. Not even close. I was able to get it sounding great with Viper4Android, but that takes up too much CPU headroom, so everything else will glitch, heat up, etc so it's not viable. Also since the 6.0 update, I can't use the EQ function in Viper, which is a large reason of why I was able to get it sounding good previously.

Does anyone have an Android unit that they love, and that actually works with consistency?

I wrote up a review here [Review] ATOTO A6 Install in Subaru WRX, but the bottom line is that i'm happy with ATOTO A6 Pro. I wont repeat the details here, but it addresses most of your needs and I was able to get the steering wheel controls working in my older car.
