[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Kyuubi10:
You know what's the most annoying thing about this?

Gesture support and digital wellbeing are natively part of Pie...

It takes MORE work to remove them than to just leave them in.

This gives insight into the process by which HTC is implementing the update from a developer standpoint...

Instead of using the Pie base and adding the HTC tweaks and improvements on top...they are adding Pie updates on top of the HTC Oreo Base.

This also tells me that they sold to google most developers with any knowledge of the HTC source code.

It shows that they know the HTC tweaks are an improvement to Base Oreo...but they don't know where the commits are. Which means to keep the improvements they'll add Pie updates to the HTC base...instead of using the Pie base and only adding the HTC improvements on top.

Because they don't know where in the source code the HTC improvements are.

3) Facebook integration into Blinkfeed isn't working. It shows empty content after linking to your Facebook account.

I already have this problem with Oreo.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] satinghostrider:
I disabled my Blinkfeed in Oreo. Thanks for the heads up.

Completely agree. Such great hardware wrecked by a **** team leftover at HTC. Wonder if it's worth to even hold on to the phone anymore. God knows if they are even serious about fixing the issues with Pie on an urgent basis.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Kyuubi10:
Considering HTC main smartphone team went to Google I was really close to accepting the higher cost and just going for a pixel.

The only issue I have is they don't have a 6GB RAM model, and at the price they charge... it's not worth the money.

If the Pixel 4 has 6GB and isn't prohibitevely expensive... I might just trade in my HTC and jump ship.

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] satinghostrider:
That's what I have in mind too with the Pixel 4. But I hope they make it dual SIM or I'll have to skip that too.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] EMJI79:
Only phones that you can sell high after using them are Apple's or Samsung's and now maybe the Pixels but it's not sure.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Makaveli1490:
So skip this update?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] satinghostrider:
The only 2 biggest problems I see with the pie update is the broken group notifications for WhatsApp and the Edge Sense. You have to switch off Edge Sense or you'll encounter problems waking up the screen from time to time and it's really annoying. Then you have to hold the power button till the phone reboots. So I switch mine off. Generally seems okay but HTC needs to get their **** together and polish up this update and squash many bugs. And I have no hope they will do it in a timely manner.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] ijuanp03:
And some say they would rather wait for a bug-free software update than get early updates from Samsung, Motorola, Nokia and the likes..

Anyway, I'm still enjoying my U12+ but to tell you honestly, the only thing bothering me is the dated design.

At least trim the top and bottom bezels more. Heck, a three-year old Huawei Mate 10 Pro has lesser bezels than the U12+.

I've already accepted the fact that they can't deliver and who knows, they will finally pull down the curtain with their smartphone division next year.

Any improvements with Bluetooth ?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Fujimens:
For me as a photographer, the field is very thin. I use my phone side by side with two pro cameras. Sometimes, I travel light and only use my phone. In my experience, HTC nailed having sharp optics and that's still a dealmaker for me (and has earned me significant sums of money from publication). Google might have the staff, but it still doesn't seem to focus on the optics of the camera, relying more on development of the AI. You still need good optics. The Nokia of old was the last company I saw with optics good enough to produce publication - quality photos. I use the Google app, and while there are tons of problems I think going to a Pixel will be a step back unless they focus on sharp optics and good lens coatings.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Fujimens:
Just got my update, all went well, but there was a bizarre moment: after downloading the update, I delayed the install a couple times, then I got a window saying "variant system version...your phone may be running a modified version...we can not update your phone".

I made it update anyhow, no issues with the install.

I only have two oddities:

- the automatic brightness is a complete disaster. Usually too dark (would be fantastic for sleeping, but when I'm awake, it goes too dark), then I have to manually brighten it. The biggest problem is waking from sleep, the screen is way too dark, too slow to react, then I have to drag down twice to get the brightness and jack it up every time. Very annoying. In short, too dark, way too slow to react. I would say automatic brightness is broken.

-the popup bar from the bottom is not fully compatible with the keyboard. The keyboard has a blank space for the popup bar, shifting it up and robbing some real estate.

Edge Sense works better- I used this feature since the U11 all the time for photography. It's a money-maker for me, has been relatively problematic for me to use it on the U12+ with any case. I'm using a Ringke and it definitely works better

Overall, most usages are crisper, not only switching between apps (and I actually still don't like that new side to side), but within apps, too. I don't know what they did, but using Brave to bring up pages is much, much faster.

Overall, while we complain about the UI, I think the U12+ and U11 had really good experiences that were streamlined and fast. When the experience is pretty good, then changes tend to be seen as negatives to a greater extent than going from a drag to a great one.

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Czort666:

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Fujimens:
Other issues: plugging the phone to power, the tone is really loud and sometimes when the phone goes back and forth between charging and stop charging, the tone keeps going off.

This could just be me, but I never remembered the green notification light so bright before. The other night, I had it next to my bed and it was bright enough to read words to it. No idea what's going on.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Deathmehr:
Have you tried doing a factory reset after receiving OTA to Pie? Maybe a 'fresh start' would solve some issues?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Fujimens:
lollolll, what kind of nonsense advice is this?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] C0rs41r:
When are we getting Pie?

I don't no......
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] GaetanoS.89:
I will say maybe next year, maybe never....
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Deathmehr:
Lool, what kind of nonsense answer is this?

Do you consider a factory reset so obvious, you had done it long ago and the bugs you mentioned exist nevertheless?

Or you won't bother resetting and prefer to just live with the bugs?

By your answer, I don't know - because I don't know what's evident to you. That's why I asked.

I would have done the factory reset if I had received the Pie to tell here if it solved some issues.

But I didn't get the update.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Fujimens:
These aren't bugs. These are features. At least with the auto brightness, that is now AI controlled.

You sound like someone that would call everything "hacking", like on tv.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Deathmehr:
What is your problem? Why do you insult me? You are far from truth anyway.

Really? Because they don't sound like features judging by how you described it earlier:

Hey everyone! I'm thinking of buying this device in Amazon.es (Spain), does anyone know if Android Pie is already available for this version?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] hitmanhunt:
Not yet in Europe.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] geojoking:
It depends on whether the seller on Amazon.es is selling the EU version or the TW (Taiwan) version.

There are multiple sellers on Amazon Marketplace, which could sell the TW version. The TW version already has the Pie update, the EU does not (at the moment).
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] rfgamaral:

Unlocked phone, on T-mobile network. SM-N950U1 Stock ROM , latest updates. 8.0.0. For some time now, using exactly the same cable, Windows 10 (which has had numerous automatic updates) no longer "sees" my phone when I connect it for purposes of up- and downloading (mostly music) files. Previously, it was a simple matter to "see" the SD card and move files to and fro. I have tried rebooting phone and computer multiple times, without success. When I connect the phone via USB to the computer, I hear the sound of an external device being added, but nothing appears in my file explorer window.

I gues I've managed to somewhat brick my S7. I installed a bootloader I got from here, and went thru the root steps, I chose NOT to wipe data at the end of the root.

Hi, I have a silly question: how do I shrink firmware partitions for Samsung Galaxy phones?

I have a Galaxy S5 (G900FD), and I need to make some adjustments to the stock firmware for Odin.

Basically I have some packages that need to be auto-installed from cache partition (basically it's an equivalent of cf-autoroot, only has a few more APKs and binary blobs along with it).

Currently tweaking G900FDXXU1CPI2 (Android 6.0.1). I have everything figured out up until the final stage: converting ext4 partition image to sparse ext4. I've already tried img2simg and ext2simg from standard andtoid-tools repository (Ubuntu), I've tried Android_img_repack_tools, tried using sgs4ext4fs after both ext2simg and img2simg conversions - and in all instances I get error while flashing.

Also, regardless of which way or which method I use, I seem to be unable to get the correct file size after conversion. E.g. if I simply convert sparse to image and then back (with either tool) - the end size does not match the initial size by a few MB.

Cranking up the WiMo sound cause distortion in the playback quality. I have tried the SRS wow app, but it doesn't seem to do B/T without major headaches.

Thanks,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jimmyy:
Usually the A2DP device does the amplifying. Some Stereo Bluetooth Recievers have the option to do it, but it also distorts the music if pushed too far.

Try using another app other than WM. I would recommend Conduiti's Pocket Player, the EQ is far superior to WM's sound and it might give you a better sound quality.

Other considerations: Make sure the master volume in your Tilt is also cranked up. Maybe the volume in your track is low?

Have fun.
