I heard the MOTO X is a beast edit:uh maybe not... Just a quick google reveals a 1080p, 2300mha battery. They aren't really beast specs...
one plus or Xiaomi
Go for One plus or Xiaomi mobile

Hi I'm not sure about this page , but I just want to let my problem to everyone who will be able to see and please share your idea if you know .
My hand set is samsung galaxy note 3 made in Vietnam and not able to root it shows UDC START when I run uden after that can't do any thing.
Which means can't run uden and no root.
There are a lot of choices:
iPhone 6, Sony Z3,Z3 compact, LG G3, Galaxy S5, Oppo flagship and so on.
2013 flagships dont dissapoint aswell, if you want some of your money back.

[q] huawei mate 7

Hello! I plan on buying the newly released Huawei Mate 7 because of its sleek new features. However, I also need to back up my files from my Mac Air to the Huawei, as they are very important. The sales lady couldn't mention its compatibility, so can someone here kindly tell if the Huawei Mate 7 is compatible with Mac products?

I think nope!!

Thinking of buying one but.....

I am thinjing of buying a mate 8, but knew from a fan site in Egypt, that some of them found a problem of having some light /white pixels on the screen when it is off/black ?
Is that seriois and happen ? Does it have any remedy ?
hm to be honest this is the first case of stuck pixels ive read about and ive been on the mate 8 forums here on xda since the very beginning. so im guessing its just an isolated incident, no worries

Thank you very much.
Do you have info about the Oppo R7 Plus ? It is cheaper here than the mate 8, and on paper, the specs looks close really.
Thanks again
Don't know where you are located (Egypt?), but in Germany when you buy in a German online shop you can return the item within 14 days without any reason.
Dunno if it's EU-wide.
Additionally if you buy it in a retail shop, you could ask for starting the device before you buy it. Some shops do it, some not. Then you can check for your screen error.
But TBH: never heared about that problem before. Could be software related also...
I switched from a LG G3. The battery lifetime was the only reason. It was so annoying I had to charge the G3 each 4 or 5 hrs... I had wireless chargers everywhere...
With the Mate 8... wow! I come home from work with ~50-60% battery!
Even if you heared from some problems with the screen in Egypt, why no import device then?

Thank you for your replay. Yes am in Egypt, and importing is a bit complicated for inviduals. The well known shops will test the device for you ( after you pay, so it is then a warranty procedure).
I heard that the problem starts after sometime. It can be a software problem as you siad,some people said that found an app on playstore to fix this.
Well, if there's an app that fixes it, then it's a software issue.
Do you know which app it is? I'm very curious.
I just have my mate 8 for 6 days now and very happy. If you like the phone and if you are aware it's a bit bigger (and definately greater ) than your old phone, you will love it.
My LG had the power button on the back. The same spot where the fingerprint reader of the mate 8 is... hah!
If you didn't hold it in your hands yet, you definately should do it. Don't underestimate the size!

I guess the app name is Kill-Pixel.
I love 6 " mobiles, I used then in the last 3 yeras ( Samsung mega, Xperia T2 and LG G2 Pro ), but 2 months ago I bought the htc one e9+ because of its specs. It is reaaly nice but I can not handle the smaller display anymore, so I have to go back to the 6 "
Okay, just wanted to make sure you know how big 6" are.
i agree, i dont think i can go back to sub 6 inch displays after experiencing the mate 8 btw, stuck pixels are actually a hardware problem, which can sometimes be resolved by software, i.e. switching colors and forcing the stuck pixels to get unstuck same principle applies to laptops or desktop monitors.

launcher for Mate 8
I know that mate 8 does not have app drawer, and is similar in its UI to the iphone. I can not live with this UI, so my qestion is , has any body tried any launcher ( Nova for eaxmple) ? Are these laumchers work smoothly with the mate 8, or what ?
i can definitely recommend nova launcher. have been using it on my mate 8 since day 1, works without a hitch

If I'm not mistaken you still get colored square background to all apps which look horrible. Try simply google if your in to rooting/custom firmware.

Why not the Honor 7? Better specs.

hi, yes, honor7 is better, but the h6 is smaller and cheaper and i really hate the sim tray on the h7
The SIM tray has no problem. I have 2 SIMs and a SDcard and I don't need to mess with it every month. It's a push in and forget about it thing.
As for size and aesthetic, that's of personal taste. But Honor 7 dropped price with the arrival of Honor 8. And Honor 6 will sooner stop receiving updates than Honor 7.

thanks for your reply, i really appreciate, i always hate the sim tray on any phone, not only H7, ( if there is an option to make it ejected by a simple click it would be nice hhh) but i really need to know the heating of this phone in lolli vs mm ( not gaming mod, just surfing, videos, youtube etc...)
thnks for allllllllll

How to switch from China version to global?

I have China version of the Huawei mate 30 pro 5g. Can I switch version to the global one without unlocking boot loader? If it's possible, can anyone share the link?
Can't
Why? I’ve found solutions for mate 20 pro. Why it’s impossible to do something similar for our device?

This is a mate 30 forum. This phone never even had emui 9?
With each firmware update re mate 30 pro there's been a obvious improvement with its photo quality. I can't speak for the mate 20 pro??

Instead of shouting at us read properly, you are in the MATE 30 PRO section, go and vent your frustrations in the proper section.
And as for your complaint, I had - my wife has it now, a mate 20 Pro which came with android 9 and with each update that phone got better. Update to Android 10 whent flawless so it looks like you have a defective device.
even on p30 is the same android 10 is total crap .. 9 was gold

i had p30 pro and i sold it .. crap curved screen .. camera not that good as they all say
Its all relative...how high are your expectations and in how far do you believe all the you tube reviews on new phones?
Huawei does like Samsung and Apple a good marketing with the aim of you believing them and buying their devices and this every year.
I had a Mate 9, Mate 10, Mate 20pro and now the Mate 30pro and the only one which I was not happy with camera wise was the Mate 10. The pictures from that phone looked often like oil paintings. I disagree about the Mate 20pro, it improved after upgrading to android 10 and its camera was - is good. Cannot judge the P30pro.
I do agree that some people will never be satisfied and always find excuses to complain, I am sure that these people have nothing better to do than complaining. These people should understand that if you want to take good pictures you buy a proper camera and not a phone with a camera but then we talking again about expectations.
