[ZTE Nubia X Questions & Answers] sgn15:
I'm interested in buying Nubia X.

I have never owned a zte or nubia phone before and have no idea about their Android updates, rooting, etc.

History-wise, can nubia phones be rooted / unlocked (bootloader)? And possible to have custom rom installed? Are there developers usually working on nubia phones?
[ZTE Nubia X Questions & Answers] Monotoko:
The other phones are very easy to unlock, in fact I would say too easy. The Z11 and Z17 do not have passwords for unlocking so it's simply a case of plugging your device in and running oem unlock, there is no wipe. So be aware anyone with knowledge will be able to bypass your lock screen by simply unlocking the phone and removing the lockscreen files...

Be careful and encrypt your device if you get one.
[ZTE Nubia X Questions & Answers] sgn15:
Ok thanks. I was asking in terms of being able to flash custom rom though. I currently use oppo and not being able to flash custom rom sucks. Just curious about nubia's history of practice (updates, bootloader unlock, custom rom support). And this phone has 2 screens, will there be likely custom roms made for this phone?

I'm really interested in buying this phone for the hardware part and flashing a custom rom to get newer android versions
[ZTE Nubia X Questions & Answers] Azevolve:
Dual OS

I was wondering if I could create a custom rom in a way that works similar to a DualBoot, or rather, did to switch between two operating systems to run both simultameamente, sharing all the hardware except the display. For example, run Pure Android Pie on the home screen, and windows 10 on the back screen.

Sorry for the bad english and "invade" another topic.

Thank you.
[ZTE Nubia X Questions & Answers] sgn15:
Yes that is a good idea. Won't it eat too much storage though? There's no sd slot here. What about battery life, will it be affected? So i guess it should be the 128gb version so you have enough storage for apps and files.
[ZTE Nubia X Questions & Answers] awclare:
To this moment, NubiaX has no root solution yet. This should not be a surprise as the phone just launched for 20 days.

Good news is historically, all Nubia devices can be rooted, including it's latest flagship Z18 which launched on 9/5.

Bad news is that there used to be only 2 ROM developers working on Nubia devices' rooting, not sure when X will get their attention.

Before using my banking app the bank requires that I come in and they activate the app at the bank so whenever I install a new custom rom the app requires me to go back to the bank to activate. How would I install a new rom without having to go to the bank every time?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioRex21:
Not the smoothest way but, what I did was to create a NAND backup (with the bank app working). Then when using a new/different ROM and needing to use the app, restore that backup. Of course the complete process takes a while, but worked for me. At least for a while, maybe they updated their app and they detected the change so now it's blocked so I have to call the bank to unlock it.

Maybe dual boot would work better?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imperial.mack:
Found the solution on Android 9.0. Find what the app ID is for the banking app on the rom it's working on, save it somewhere for future use. On the new rom, use https://xdaforums.com/android/general/app-device-id-changer-oreo-13-aprv0-9-2-t3777299 to change the app's ID back to its original one and reboot your phone.

Same, someone help ?
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Kirk71:
Hi kristian12 for my experience I decided to not send rhe phone to assistance. After some weeks of daily use the noise/hiss has become slightly less and with a protective rear cover it's now better and not too annoying, but still present. Let me know what you think to do too.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] joyandfame:
Same problem here. Has it got any better since your last post (maybe the camera just has to warm-up ;))? Nevertheless, I am concerned about it and I think I will make a complaint...
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Morton_Fizzback:
Had the same issue with the Nokia 7.1 I received today. (4GB version, steel, in Denmark).

Went to the store and got the money back (the didn't have any other 7.1's in the store).

Went to another store and got another 7.1. Same issue.

Exchanged it for another one. Same issue again.

Ended up getting my money back.

So 3 out of 3 phones with audio noise coming from the camera itself. So weird.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Morton_Fizzback:
Here's a guess for what might be causing the noise:

It might be from the ceramic capacitor used for the flash?
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] UCFJake:
It doesn't pick up in any video recording I've done (super rare I record video anyway) but I can confirm mine has a strange almost-speaker sound hiss on my TA-1085 anytime the camera is active for photo or video. Almost sounds like listening in a seashell and more bass-y than I expected.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Morton_Fizzback:
Today I went to yet another store that had the 7.1 on display.

And that too had noise from the camera. So for me it is now 4 out of 4 tested 7.1's that have had noise from the camera.

This leads me to suspect that it is an issue with all 7.1's. So I don't understand why there isn't a lot more people talking about this?

Do people not notice? or care? or maybe it is only in some versions, like the ones available in Denmark...

If the noice isn't picked up by the mic, like UCFJake experiences, then I could live with it myself.

I only had the opportunity to test the phone in a quiet area for a short time, so maybe I was mistaken by that part, and the noise I heard in a recorded video was just normal background noise amplified.

So to those of you with a 7.1, I would really appreciate it if you could help me by checking if your phone has noise from the camera, and then record a video in a quiet place, and see if there's audio noise picked up in the recording?

Because if there's not, I will go back and get the 7.1 anyway.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Summer Son:
Hey,

I got 7.1 in Germany yesterday and the noise is present. When you record a video, yes, there is a noise picked up but to hear it when playing you have to put the volume almost to the 70% level and then the noise from the loudspeaker is on the same level as the original one from the camera (you have to get really close to the loudspeaker to hear it). Hope that explains...

Also, a lot of people in the Russian forum complain for the same.

The biggest concern for me is that the noise won't get worse over time (like the dying capacitor in PSU, if one ever heard it) or the camera won't stop working.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Morton_Fizzback:
Thanks for the info!

For me it's absolutely unacceptable that such a defect has been allowed to be present in the finished product.

So I'll start looking for another phone to get.

(If anyone in the Copenhagen area wants an unused clear 7.1 back cover, they can get mine)
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Summer Son:
From the other hand, I tried to record the video from the front camera and there's also a small noise when you play it on high volume, but that camera is silent. So this recorded noise might be a microphone issue (it's normal, more or less, you will never get an absolute silence). The difference in noise level between videos made on main and front camera is not significant, I can hardly tell, it's rather different frequencies of the noise - one is a little bit higher, another one is lower, like purple vs white noise.

So I don't know, [MENTION=9599597]Morton_Fizzback[/MENTION], maybe you've heard exactly that noise on your recording when you had it, maybe you can still live with it...
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Morton_Fizzback:
I was just at the store looking at the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1, since it should have near stock android, but I was a bit annoyed by the pre-installed Facebook and Instagram apps that could only be disabled and not removed. So I'm considering the 7.1 again. Thanks for the testing [MENTION=4707267]Summer Son[/MENTION] !
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Morton_Fizzback:
So I tried again with another 7.1.

Again, as expected, it had the noise from the camera, but I think I might have been wrong with it being picked up by the mic.

I did some comparisons with another phone in a quiet room, and when recording and then playing a video with the volume turned up, they seemed to have about the same level of noise. So I guess what I heard the first time, might just have been normal static noise amplified.

So like others, my only small concern now, is that the noise isn't an indication that a part in the phone will be more prone to fail early.

The internet connection is used only for feature usage analysis and crash reporting, nothing else.

I'm releasing this app under my real name, if you didn't realize it. I'll be staying in this industry for long as I enjoy making things, so sending out private data isn't helping me at all to stay in the industry.

I suggest you to use firewall app, or AdAway, to prevent those data collection from being sent out. Try to force close the app once you've disable it. It should not have sent the data afterwards. Otherwise, Firebase team is in trouble.

And furthermore, no private data should be put into Typing Hero. The database isn't encrypted, so a targeted malicious app could steal the database if installed and executed, even if Typing Hero doesn't have internet access.
