Hi guys,
I'm thinking about changing my mate 7 to nexus 6 64g.b, do you think its a good choice? And which one is better? I want to handle lolipop device, and I found that mate7 is a little bit laggy comparing to other devices I had before like htc one m8 and the note 3... and is there any phablet that you advice me to buy?
depends on what's more important to you.
To me, 4000mah battery + slim design/bezel + cheap price >>> nexus 6.
I'm not a heavy gamer so for my day to day stuff, i the kirin 925 is just perfect and ive experienced no lag whatsoever. Plus, lollipop is rolling out in the new couple of months so I cant complain.
the question is what is your budget and what you need from your phone. If budget is not a problem for you go for the besy phones out there. The ham7 is for a niche of people who knows what its not the best phone but embraces the best quality of it. The screen, thinness and slim design, battery and scanner to name a very few. But if you want more processing power, custom roms, more tweaking and more dev support the ham7 is not for you bro.
I really recomend mate 7 nexuses are all crap ... very poor batt. weird , especially nexus 6 ..
get M7 ...
The poor battery life on the nexus is no excuse for stock android, it's just plain embarrassing. I'm hard core android, but if the device has no stamina, no fun. Btw the ham 7 does have performance mode too, plus sd card support.

first, Thank you for replying
And actually I'm have mate 7, and as I told you I'm bored of sticking on stock rom, I need more mods and tweaks. you may find this silly, but the white color of the notification panel is really annoying me!
Is there any cons except the battery? Do I have any options other than the Nexus 6?
Mate 7 is better, I've had many devices before the mate 7 such as note 4 and the mate 7 is more snapier I don't find it lag at all and I play games such as fifa15 and real racing 3 ect and it performs perfectly I don't have any complaints apart from speaker could be better and earphone output could be louder that is all!

Thanks OP Here's what my rundown has been - cause I prefer at least 6 inch devices - preferably powerful
Crossing a certain age number has done a number on my near vision - and hence at least 6 inches keeps me in the game.
1- Nexus 6 Battery life - Plenty of ROMS if you want to play - but remember you're always fixing the device - i.e. updating, programs troubleshooting - and never have a stable enough device IMHO - now if your life and time allows AMEN - but mine has not anymore.
2- T-MO Note 4 - On Cyanogenmod great device - great battery life - smaller size - the CM has bugs, poor battery life - no finger print scanner support. So I sold the device.
3- I have looked at the REDMI Note - Not too sure that's a good enough device.
4- Sony Z ultra - or Xperia Z Ultra (first is GPE, 2nd is Not) - If you care for the device - ditch GPE - there's more work on Sony Xperia Z Ultra - magnificient device - and has CM12 support
5- WIndows Lumia 1520 I have not held better hardware in my hand - ditched after 1 day - very poor app market. WInodws will never catch up - PERIOD.
6- Asus Zenfone 2 - 64 GB 4 GB - top of the line - does not go 8 hours on my usage ( I run a ton of back ground apps ) - the hardware was OK - but that's that - it was remarkably fast sold it immediately - Cannot live with that bloody battery life anymore.
I am from Android 2.1 onwards - and also CM 7 onwards - so I have been on this bandwagon long enough - I am recently questioning the worth of Stock Cyanogenmod - other than Hard Core Enthusiasts - cause the devices we're now running - even HAM 2 - has powerful enough hardware to get the job done - So while we do not get better battery life or better features even at the Cyanogenmod - We do get bugs - unlimited updates - one breaking what the other fixed - and the phone's like an old car that I spend more time under than over. So for my time and dime - I am spending less and less time on the development front.
Currenty Running HAM 2 - there's never been a problem the stock device has not solved - cannot beat the battery life, no it's not the latest or the greatest - but gets the job more than done with minimal disappointments Sorry long answer - thanx for reading if you made it this far Tell us what if you find anything else.

Hi that note 4 you can confirm me has darker screen has it ? Mate 7 is brighter is it ?
Exactly Mate 7 is snappiest phone I ever had .. all prev. phones are laggy ..
I am testing LG G3 and is sooo laggy
Okay then! I think I will wait until HTC release a big screen mobile phone , cause after a lot of testings, I found that they are the have the strongest build and the best interface.
Thank you all for participating , and thank you badrsj for you long reply

HTC would've gotten my money had they brought a new 6" One Max alongside the new One M9. But apparently they think there is no market for devices larger than 5.5" ... idiots.

Hi all,
Does anyone heard this android phone? Meizu M9 features a samsung s5pc110 processor (the same as galaxy s) and 960x640 resolution sharp asv lcd (the same as iphone 4).
I have recently got a m9 engineering sample and successfully dumped out the system. Here is the link: hotfile.com /dl/85889655/e781655/update.zip.html (sorry i can't post link, pls remove the space)
Is there anyone interested in it? the UI is pretty awesome, may be we can port it into other phones
Oh man I'm excited for this ROM, it really does look awesome

It has lots of eye candy and even better copy and paste functionality.

it would be amazing to have this rom ported to the HD2. i had a meizu before my HTC and i loved it.
I'm really hoping for a Nexus one port
Nice! Any official rom dumps already? Today was the official launch of the phone... can't wait to see the rom ported and apps extracted.
M9 looks like a really solid phone, the UI looks much better than any other launchers I have seen on Android so far.
i cant put this rom for da vibrant y it get stuck when i install it.......
Hi all,
my xperia neo is starting to show its age, and I am looking for replacement. As Ive been using cyanogenmod for the last 1,5 years, so I am looking for something which has, or is likely to get cyanogenmod and/or aokp support in the future.
My requirements are the following:
- phone available in Europe, in the 300 eur price range
- 4,3 - 4,7 inch screen
- notification light
- good build quality
- good battery life and replaceable battery
- microSD support or internal storage over 16 GB
So far my winner is the Huawei Ascend G600, but i think it's very unlikely that it will get cyanogenmod support (considering that the extremely popular older G300 also has no cyanogenmod support). I also had other candidates but i ruled them out for some reasons (LG Optimus L9 - no notification light; Galaxy Nexus - no SD card support and low-feature default firmware; Xperia S - smallest screen, only TFT, power button on the top)
Can you recommend me anything?

Well if you can get yours hands on it the nexus 4 would be a good pick.
Or prehaps a Galaxy note its 5.2" and has CM support
i've been looking at the galaxy note too, but i find the screen too large to be comfortable, and its also lacking a notification light
Has anyone started to work on ROM for this phone, looking at the spec of this phone looks promising, it has a large battery capacity which is great but look at battery test for this phone it looks like stock software is not optimized, so just wondering if the community is willing to help optimize or any advise

the review of low configuration umidigi S2 you can see on Youtube
I've got the regular S2 for a couple of weeks now. It's a good phone with some downsides. Camera is not fantastic but good enough for everyday stuff. If you want amazing photos buy a flagship. Proximity sensor doesn't turn off screen properly while in a call, maybe fixed in future version. One of the major networks in Germany does not work for mobile data in most cases (O2 and Eplus joined and the phone can't handle the "data roaming").
Tech support is non existant. They will point you to their half chinese forums with barely any members that is spammed with press releases. Posting takes dozens of "money" that you must unlock with posts. Very unprofessional but maybe expected for such a relatively small company. There are no service addresses for repairs and the accessories market for that phone is very very limited. Barely any cases or screen protectors out there. If you break anything on this phone expect to get a new one. I have not tried yet but to get replacement parts for this seems near impossible at this point.
Other than that, screen is great for the resolution. Battery life is absolutely brilliant. I can get through a full day with using <40% battery and it lasts easily 3+ days on pure standby.
Wifi has become much better I think after the last firmware update. They are updating the phone but I wonder for how long. This is not a manufacturer that can or wants to support all of it's devices like big ones do.
Materials are good, maybe a bit slippery in the hands but all microblasted aluminium phones are like that.
Screen has a <1mm bezel between the side of the phone and the display surface but I don't care about that.
Build, to me, feels very good. Fingerprint sensor works well and fast. Android is 6.0.1 but I hope they will have an update to 7 or 8 at some point.
I don't care about benchmarks so I can't talk about that, my apps work well. Video streaming is fluid. No idea about 3D gaming I don't use my phone for that.
For that price it's a great phone imho.
Have just pre-ordered this device. Will wait to see what comes, hopefully able to unlock the bootloader and remove any bloatware that comes pre-installed.
It exist a custom rom for s2? I'd like
It has poor camera, other things are very good
What kind of custom could fix in it? Paranoid android?

Apparently it's possible to install TWRP on this Umidigi S2 :
https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-twrp-umidigi-s2-s2-pro/
I don't have Umidigi S2 to test but I'm very interested by the S2 Pro.
Perhaps it is possible to install Lenovo SNAPit Camera in order to improve the photos by flashing it with TWRP ? :

This post was a cut and paste from another phone.
Now the link for the custom recovery is available. I will probably give it a try just to be able to root the phone.
As of today, there is no available custom ROM available for the umidigi s2, although you can find posts on how to revert back to the stock ROM. Those posts are also just cut and pasted from other phones sharing the same cpu

I just tried that and while the recovery installs my phone wouldn't boot afterwards. Maybe because I have the main partition encrypted but maybe for another reason.
Also for me the screen was flipped 180 degrees probably due to a backwards display in this phone.

Still early days I wouldn't personally try it but I'm sure in time this phone will get Dev support , I had some feed back from umi on there FB page regarding update to 7/8 they said there waiting on MediaTek's to release source or sdk as this P20 chip was built around Android 6 at the time and the P25 around 7 that's why pro ships with 7 that's what they said , also mentioned an update coming with a week but more likely bug patch still on Jan 2017 security , not the best look on a 2017 phone 2015 os

Hi
Please check and correct me If I am wrong. According to UMI claimed that the first batch of S2 v1 come with non up gradable processor and hence, you can only maintain at Marshmallow version ie. Android 6 while S2 v2 (so called 2nd batch) can be upgraded to Android 7 (no idea to Android 8???). So guys, please check directly with UMI on this issue. I am thinking of getting the S2 Pro but would like UMI to confirm whether same issue with S2 v1 ???? Cheer s -

Below is the info extracted from Umidigi Forum lately .......
"Quote" They said the first batch of S2 will keep on Android 6 (there will be some updates, but nothing of update to Android 7). So the second batch of S2 and the S2 Pro will come with UMI OS Android 7. Anybody received handset with android 7.0 what date are the V2 or is that just referring to the Pro , mine is due 23/11 ordered 16/11 wondered if it will be V2 model with 7.0. Seems odd 2017 handset shipping with 2015 software .... Phone i received week ago got Android 6 so its V1. That will not work on the first v1 of Umidigi S2 sadly. It's made for MT6757D (S2 v2).
How ever there are phones out there already with MT6757 (Not MT6757D) will be on Android 7.0. "Unquote"
Hope this clear some of your thoughts. Thank you.

This is what I got the reply from UMI moderator
S2 version 1 coming with Android 6 and can't be updated to higher android version.
S2 version 2 will be coming with Umidigi OS based on Android 7. Further updates are not confirmed.
S2 pro is coming with Umidigi OS based on Android 7. Further updates are not confirmed.

Hello Nex-Fans,
Vivo has announced the first OS update for our device which improves the overall, the game, camera and fingerprintscanner performance.
Source:
Gizchina
Thanks! I suppose we will get that automatically (when checked in update settings), but thanks anyway for notifying it here.
Despiter updates(there's even newer update than those at first page) the underscreen display scanner remain problematic according to fresh reviews from android authority.
https://www.androidauthority.com/vivo-nex-review-875140/
Hopping retail unit perfom better.
Saw many reviews and tests on YouTube and nobody has mentioned such problems with the Fingerprintscanner. I think this will be a "Pre-Release-Device" problem.

Damn that's a really scathing review especially re. the software and OS. Makes me kind of disinterested tbh, because the UX sounds like a ****ing hassle
I'm not so negative ... In my opinion it's a very early stage of the device and i think some points are related to the Pre-Release-Device he has. On the software side i think it's only a question of time until there are some other options.
I have a Zuk Z2 Pro and know what i'm talking about. The ZUI interface was only crap but now it's running AOSP Android 8.1 and i'm really really happy with the device. It's better then my S8 was.
Yes but the kicker is as always, does the bootloader get unlocked... I don't know about Vivo and their practices on this.
I actually received my second update on my Nex already... and while the fingerprint reader can be finicky it has worked well (one thing that helped was adding both thumbs 2times)

I got the update a day or two ago as well.....
Any idea (translation) of what it actually encompassed?
only thing i have noticed a improvement on is the Fingerprint reader(seems much more consistent) , the camera seems to focus better and give slightly better results. Also the three bars at the bottom of the home screen are at the absolute bottom now and much wider.

After you posted this,I decided to take a look in the Settings > System Update & found the update notes in English (probably translated to whatever default language you choose) & pretty much line-up with your observations/usage:
The notes may have been available in the previous updates,but,I didn't notice the little arrow to click on to read the notes (probably there all along)......

haha yeah the arrow has been there to check the changelog but the improvements they claim are actually noticable to me at least ?
FunTouch OS is the only thing that's keeping me from buying this phone... Any thoughts on the overall phone functionality from people that have it? I currently own a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and love it except for the selfie camera being on the bottom of my screen. My main thing would be to be able to get the Play Store and use Bluetooth with my car audio system... Any thoughts appreciated ?

I might be having one serious BLONDE MOMENT :laugh: ,but,I can't seem to find how to make the YouTube app play by default,from links in email/texts/etc.....
Again,it could just be me,the settings on this phone are convoluted,makes Huawei & Xiaomi look clean & simple by comparison.......
So,in the meantime,I'm using this default picker app to help out:

I go back and forth seemingly daily. I lust for the hardware, it is to me the next step on the path to OLED in-display cameras, but that bizarre Android iOS clone nonsense they have going on is pushing me away. Funtouch sounds like a waking nightmare.
I currently have a Mi Mix 2, and already the rumor mill is in full swing re. the Mix 3. Google Mi Mix 3 and check out some early leaks, they are rumored to follow the Nex style. Admitted MIUI is not all that great either, but at least Xiaomi is a bit more dev friendly on releasing the kernels etc. And sorry for the hijack
Update 06-11
New update is up ! 10.0.1.146 MAY security patch!
Mine got too! For me no difference yet lol haha I thought 10.1!
google services

Didn't sideload google apps.... because realized i don't need them to be installed.... using like a PC ! And after update this phone became even more better.
Was wondering about the window size adjustment since I didn't see that even after doing my out of the box update (after this was posted), but just checked and actually have 10.0.1.123 Guess they haven't released 138 to everyone yet
Which model do you have? Europe?
Yes - shows up as TAH-N29m and C432E2R2P1 like OP's...
10.0.1 is out !!! Check your phones !!
Just got 10.0.1.139 indeed
Came here thinking it's 10.1 - Just saw the title again :crying:

Lmao ! I use HMS ! The funniest part that I came from Pixel 4x and i thought is gonna be impossible. But I figured out how to use this device....you use stock browser to log in anything you want. Example banks, google drive etc...feels like i have a desktop in my pocket...lmao....i respect Huawei for optimization....games running extremely good, I can't believe that is much more optimized than snapdragons !!!!! I also have to admit that Huawei can improve smoothest of UI....but its coming in 10.1 ! So i respect all this....is better than my galaxy fold... better bro !!

You ditched a Pixel 4 XL for this?
Epic, I ditched a ROG II.
I'm struggling with the freaking notifications not coming in for WhatsApp, and my PUBG account which is dependent on PlayGames.
Was thinking of installing GMS now ...

Galaxy fold is not optimized as a tablet. Everything opens there as in smart phone view. You can change the screen size is switching down to tablet mode and you starting to see big lags in openning/closing apps.
Gaming on Fold (snapdragon) is bad... example AXE game., life after they all running bad on ultra settings.
Now i understand what is optimization meaning with
Mali-G76 MP16 and kirin. Im telling this as a owner of "2" galaxy fold ! Fold can't even run well 2 games together !
