Can someone confirm if Widevine L1 is not lost, while upgrading from Android 9 to this beta version?

Widevine L1 is implemented differently by each manufacturer(not sure how Asus does it) and people just lose it forever making changes to their phones. Sometimes, a simple bootloader unlock makes you lose it.

We are not unlocking our BL here, but just wondering if the beta is messing up vendor/persist partitions in a way that destroys Widevine L1. I have seen people losing their Widevine L1 on OTA updates as well for major android version changes(android 9 to 10).

On a side note, is there a way to backup all stock partitions without BL unlock/root, by 'temporary' loading TWRP or other recovery ?

Cheers,

So, I updated to Android 10 Beta 8 from last stable Android 9.

But it seems Asus just doesn't seem to come out of their problems with poor software updates. I was able to use custom Launchers with full screen gestures on Android 9. NOT ANY MORE.. :( I am stuck to stock navigation or Pie gestures at best OR I must use their own very 'mighty' launcher.

With Android 10 betas nearing their end and final release around, I am least hopeful of Asus fixing it anytime soon.

Feeling really bad about my choice of having bought this device over other flagship killers!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] vodovodo:
But this is not Asus! According to Nova warning it's about Google didn't share Android 10 gestures!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
It's not Asus fault on custom gestures on other launchers. The public API for them is not released yet by Google.

Maybe get informed before bashing Asus for something out of their control?

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/07/android-q-beta-5-update.html?m=1

On nova launcher it has ALWAYS been like this, they don't introduce new features such as Quickswitch or Gestures. For those you either need to use Pixel Launcher or Lawnchair. Don't blame Asus for it. Blame nova launcher developers being lazy af

Btw:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/9to5google.com/2019/11/12/android-10-gestures-launchers/amp/

And why the **** would Asus implement another launcher in their system? You contradict yourself [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Their launcher uses gestures in Android 10 flawlessly. Wtf
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] cheetah2k:
I'm having a 4G speed issue with my WW ROG 2 on latest Beta.. If I switch to Airplane mode, then re-enable data, running speedtest straight after i get 220-240mb/s downloads.. After about 5 min and I run the test again (same servers, same location) i seem to get capped at 110-115mb/s.. If I repeat the same thing, the same thing happens.. Its as if the carrier is capping my downloads???!

If I run speed test on my wife's samsung phone which is on the same carrier, and in the same location, she hits around 170mb/s all the time.

This never happened on Android 9 (WW firmware 64)

Should I do a full wipe of the phone and try again? Its so weird..
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
I'm having the same issue but dunno why. On Android 9.0 I didn't had it. No idea wtf is going on [emoji849]
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] cheetah2k:
I'm going to do a full wipe today to see if it helps. The early beta's I had no problems - i think up to Beta 6.. But now i noticed it.. its so strange..
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] rishi2504:
- Used a One Plus 7T pro and that doesn't exhibit this behaviour with Lawnchair on Android 10

- Lawnchair worked just fine on Android 9.

- Asus Launcher is pretty much usable, but more of a legacy, as it doesnt allow customisation. Mega-sized icons that take up a lot of screen space and you can't apply icon packs.

Someone who has been buying Asus phones for over 13 years can definitely feel bad(not sure if it would be termed as bashing) about these things.. :)

Btw, I was also one of the (few) modders of their Windows phones. Check my profile :)

Cheers,
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
The problem is that gestures are a broken feature so far. Google said that in the first link I posted, that's why the API is not open yet. We'll have to wait until they fix it
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] cheetah2k:
I did a full wipe today. Now im getting 4G with 2 plusses "++" and speed is constantly high. Must have been one of the updates.. I guess when the Official version of 10 comes ill do another wipe just to be sure.. :good:
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] rishi2504:
For anyone else encountering this issue -

I solved it 'temporarily' using 'Full Screen Gestures' app. It works but with some small issues: The navigation bar is still present at the bottom and it uses accessibility feature to deliver the functionality.

There are other solutions using 'quickswitch' but it requires root. Those rooted may explore it nevertheless..

Cheers,
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
Thanks for letting me know. Tomorrow I sure will do a full backup and format it too
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] cheetah2k:
Actually scratch that. Didn't help. 10 min later same ****. I went into *#*#4636#*#* and I could see the DL UL bandwidth reduce in real time. I wish I knew what the issue was. It's either software or hardware. Definitely not carrier related
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Josef997:
It's related to the software we need to wait till next update beta 9 I think the official update will release after Android 11 release.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] albireox:
I don't know what to say, but other OEMs have A10 with working gestures in Nova Launcher (Oneplus, Huawei).
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
The API isn't open source yet so don't lie about it. Google didn't released it yet, only for pixel phones and its broken. Other launchers don't have access to it since the API wasn't released so what you are saying is a lie. We all know it and you know it
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] albireox:
Please measure your words. I have both OP7 and Huawei P30 with Android10 and gestures work on Nova Launcher. That they are not "identical" implementation to the stock android10, that might be. But the functionality is the same. This is exactly what Asus could/should do.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
We are talking about another functionality then other then the one Google implemented..
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] albireox:
The outcome is exactly the same. That's what users are interested about, nobody cares about Google's moods or how long would take them to pull their heads out of their butts.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
That would be pretty fast I must say [emoji23] (you stole a good laugh out of me with that expression)
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] rishi2504:
Very well put.. I was looking for a multi-thanks button :)
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] freddetj:
I also use 'Full screen gestures' and in addition 'Hide Navbar'. I think the two combined makes for a pretty solid experience worthy of being used as a permanent solution. ?

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] freddetj:
Could you check in the play store settings if it says "certified" down at the bottom. If no it won't work in stores. Betas are (almost?) never certified.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] uriii13:
Enough to change from v64?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] lianglqufo:
How do I check this certified thing?

I attached what I can see in app and in play store setting and I couldn't find this.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] freddetj:
You're at the right place, but it is doesn't show up for some reason. I had the same thing happen while on the Betas (reverted to A9 now and waiting for the official OTA)

It should appear after a while and will be at the very bottom of the settings, exactly were your screenshot is. Will probably say "...is not certified".
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Can you please help? If I try to update it says Update Failed. I'm not rooted , bootloader is locked , no magisk etc. I've renamed the file correctly too. Still keeps saying update failed?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] lianglqufo:
I have a Tencent version and I rooted and unlocked BL, converted into WW with fingerprint set as WW.

Updated from A9 to beta 7 then beta 8 then beta 9, the update was smooth and painless.

I think it might be because of the root and unlock BL. Not 100% sure about the unrooted procedure though sorry.

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

Interesting. I think it might be because I converted mine from CN to WW. But given there is a "not certified" option I thought that's what it would have shown.

I will wait and see what happens.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Thanks for the reply.

Basically in play store settings it says device is certified. So no issue there.

I converted my device to WW a while ago, changed the fingerprint etc. I updated to beta 8 last week. But now with beta 9 just getting the update failed message :/ not rooted or anything like that
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] lianglqufo:
Not sure if it's because of the root cuz I have the exact same situation as you. CN converted to WW with fingerprint to WW as well. So the only difference is the root and unlock bootloader. I think that's what make the difference.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] freddetj:
So, just to be clear, are the latest betas confirmed as being Google play certified? Maybe someone unrooted could check and confirm please?

Curious since the "not certified" thing was why I went back to A9 (using Google Pay in stores is a must have feature for me).

Since I am now back I'll probably wait for the official OTA anyway, but this is a golden opportunity for learning if beta programs ever get certified versions before the official release.

Can please someone unrooted, locked bl confirm?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
It worked ? turns out I didn't rename the file properly lol. Beta 9 is awesome! Battery life is better than before (before it was amazing, now it's epic ?) thanks for your help anyway ?

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

Hiya, right so when I was on beta 8, the play store said "Device Certified"

I updated to beta 9 about an hour ago, bearing in mind I have No Root and my bootloader is Locked. Now, after updating to Beta 9, play store says "Device not certified"

I hope this helped

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] freddetj:
Thanks a lot for checking! It would have been nice if that info was given by the makers on each release since it's only possible to really test certain functions on a certified system.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
I completely agree ! Asus haven't been very considerate with sharing important information such as device certification. Furthermore they are VERY slow with updating the Rog II. Normally I'd be really annoyed and would switch phone manufacturer, however, the Asus Rog II is such a Beast so I'm letting it slide lol ?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
Stable Android 10 is closer than ever. Beta 9 will be the latest beta (according to news around the web at least). Hope so [emoji16]

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Oh yeah ???? it definitely is ??

I'm on 74% with just over 5 hours SOT
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
You're both forgetting to add the important second screenshot of usage details with the graph. This screenshot alone allows you to show 10+ hours of SoT but hide intermittent charges. I guess it's possible with a 6000mAh battery with low usage but best prove it correctly anyway if you'd like any credibility.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] HermesHidayat:
Anything else? I even posted back showing my phone having 10 hours SOT.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
Not at all, looking great! I'm actually more curious about [MENTION=9895343]Thanos88[/MENTION]'s insane 5h+ result... ?

Found the post you were talking about here, that's pretty wicked. I will surely consider a ROG next time!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] HermesHidayat:
Omg im sorry for being sarcastic as i thought you were "mocking" me. Now i realized that youre a Forum Moderator - _-

Btw yes this phone has insane battery life. I once tried to play CODM from 100% to 0% and it took 4 hours(with Wifi).

But if you live in an area with good reception i would recommend Samsung S20 series(SD version, skip if its the Exynos).

I myself live in Indonesia and we get the Exynos version of the S20 Ultra(12/128 only) and i have bad cell reception and wifi reception on my previous Samsung devices. And im considering getting the S20 Ultra 5G with 16/512 setup(5G isnt available yet but its okay)
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Hello, I have attached screenshots of full usage, hope they help to understand the battery life better (it's insane battery life, Marques brown from YouTube said it's the best battery life phone of 2019, and he's not wrong ) battery life has got even more insanely good with Android 10.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
Oh, lol. Well I'm terribly sorry if I came across that way. That's the annoying thing about text I guess. And don't mind the mod thing. After all, I'm also "just" another user with a passion for Android and all these amazing devices on the market today. It's just, when I see wild claims (like 5 hours and 4 minutes of SoT with just 26% battery), I'd like to see more solid proof and further details so it can be reproduced by others. It's something we can all profit from.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
[MENTION=9895343]Thanos88[/MENTION] you ninja'd me :D Still not showing the graph though... ;)
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
I wouldn't recommend the S20 ultra for battery life, battery tests on gsmarena and YouTubers show that the S20 ultra only gets maximum 7.5 hours SOT with 120hz active, with 60 Hz and 1440p resolution around 9.5 hours. Not bad but at the same time not great for a flagship with a huge battery. Apparently the camera isn't as good as advertised nor is the space zoom. But it's down to preference I guess. I'm waiting for the Rog III. For now I have the Rog II and P30 pro. The speakers, battery life, speed, design, reliability of the Rog II are unparalleled.

Only 4 hours with Call of duty mobile ? That's not right!!! With WiFi, and 50% brightness, high graphics (not maximum graphics) I can get 10 hours SOT of call of duty mobile, with 4g I get 9 hours, again brightness at 50%. This is with 60hz and I don't use X mode either. (I find that X mode only makes a difference to emulators like damonps2 dolphin etc)

Sorry ? just edited the post with the graph, leave me a like ?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
Now we're talking. Likes to all of you! <3

That is seriously amazing though. I am in awe. I'm happy with 5 hours of SoT on my 1+6T, using its full 100%. Sure, that's "only" 3700mAh but still. Looks like 1+ has a thing or two to learn from Asus. All we got were broken fastboot commands and annoying partitions in the 10 upgrade ^_^
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Thanks bro ? honestly, after using Asus I can't stand phones with inferior battery life ? my p30 pro is currently on 97% with 1 hour and 15 minutes SOT, another amazing battery life phone? well the rog phone 2 has had a record breaking 9 Beta firmwares, so I feel your pain with android 10 lol?? but anyhow I would highly recommend the ROG 2, it's a excellent all rounder ?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] stealthj:
WOW you guys are getting amazing battery life. Maybe its my dual sim that drains my standby
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Dual SIM shouldn't take up battery unless you have poor reception. Also under "adaptive battery" I have 99% of my apps restricted. Also the "WiFi always scanning" might be the culprit, it lets your phone search for WiFi even you you switch off the wifi. Try disabling that
