Hello to all, this forum is great!
I'm new and i hope this is the right place where post this question.
I live in Italy (sorry for my bad English so) and I have a lumia 920: good phone but WP is dead. Almost all apps crash and OS will not be updated. I have to change it, quickly!
I need a good device whit "all", updated, that it last some years, but i can spend under € 300 ($ 330). It seems impossible, I'm desperate!
I had seen Huawei P9Lite but it has not the gyroscope, and i need it (not only for pokemon go).
After searching, the device on the top for me are:
Huawei Honor 7 (maybe I should wait for the release of 8 for a lower price)
Huawei P8
Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe (I fear for the processor Intel).
But I'm not sure.
What you think about? Can you help me?
I'm noob, i Know it, and I am not very expert in the field..for this reason i ask you an help..
Thank you very much!
P9 Lite

If you could find one for $330 then get the oneplus3 or the axon 7. (they are $400 currently but) You could probably find one that someone mistakenly chose and didn't like and are selling it on eBay/Craigslist
Get the OnePlus 3, it has 6GB of RAM and has full XDA support (as in ROMs, Kernels). It will also last a long while. I know people with the OnePlus One and they say it still can handle today's stuff (games, software etc.).

So I want to buy the Huawei P8 Max but I am concerned about the EMUI or wether theme/OS they are using not supporting the themes I really like.
The P8 Max is barely available in the Netherlands so I have to buy it off eBay and then have to find out how to install stock Android on it.
Anyway, could anyone of you try the themes by DualBoot Games? They are on Google Play store to download.
I can't place a link for now but you can typ in Google, DualBoot games and see right the Google Play store developer link.
Kind regards
Yeah it works, but why a moving screen? It only cost battery life

Thanks a lot.
Regarding the battery life, actually not. I have optimized it and still have it on really nice quality and my Samsung GS5 can last up to 2 a 3 days.
There is almost no difference in with and without the moving themes. And I use the Christmas HD btw, awesome theme
I sold my GS5 to my brother so I can save up for the P8 Max. Do you think it is a downgrade or are they on pair or is the P8 Max better?
i won't try to max out GTA, I just want a bigger screensize to watch movies/series and also TV app. (Telfort Online app)
Do you also know why the P8 Max is not officially in Holland?
The P8 Max is realy great and a keeper. Maybe in the future check out the Sony Z5 Ultra if it comes out. I have now idea. I got mine from Amazon.es and the box got a Huawei address in Holland, very very strange
Yeah, I found a lot of those with the address from Amsterdam. How and why... Very odd.
And I do not want any smartphone from Sony due their PS Vita BS. I truley regret buying their complete worthless device, ever.
So only the P8 Max got my interest.
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.

Hello World!
My beloved friends, i am looking for someone who can recommend me a good awesome chines brand Global version Unlocked Smartphone with 6" + 1080-4k Full HD display that is both root' erble and will allow me to install custom apps and beautiful custom roms that many of hard working XDA developers have developed.
I have been thinking to get a one+ T6, or a Oppo Find X and a Xiaomi mi Mix 3 ram from 8-10 and storage 128-256GB.
Since many of the Umidigi customers been screwed over few times by the Umidigi company, and as their customer my self we all had difficulties with both updates and encrypted boot on the devices that forced us to use UmiOS that was their own custom made rip off Android OS.
The phone never got a stable update version and many time the Umidigi support did not answer our question, many got angry and said foul language out of frustration, and they ware told to shut up or Umidigi would ban them to write on the forum ever again.
So i am looking for a android enthusiast who know a good stable smartphone and awesome support, no way to brick and can easily be flashed back to the stock rom.
So please, anyone out there that owns a killer flagship unlocked Global version smartphone with awesome battery that keep the phone alive, with a price tag from 300-600 Euro that works smoothly without any crashing apps and annoying boot wait time and impossible fastboot that keeps the device locked in from the great options that there is out there.
Please write me your recommendation and tell me why you recommended me that specific phone. and why you disagree with me to get a one+ T6, or a Oppo Find X, Xiaomi mi Mix 3.
thank you very much for your efforts!
Hi guys! I dont know where to ask, i have seen about 25 ish videoes on youtube, read some sites.. read some more sites... and... read...... you get the point
I am new to android phones, i went from Siemens, to Sony Ericsson to Iphone as my smartphone, i have had Iphone sience the first iphone. I am very happy with my iphone. BUT.. i wanna try something new.
I have decided between One Plus 9Pro and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.. i dont know why Samsung is there, but might have something to do with it beeing abit main stream. I have never heard about OnePlus.. and certantly not Xiaomi ( i dont know how to say that name irl).
I am not a Photographer or Videomaker, but i want to use the Camera alot of my phone.
Out of these two, what would you guys reccomend and why. Answers like "Pick the one you like" , "S21 ultra is the best" or " Xiaomi " does not work for me. As i have never seen the two brands, i can only know about them from you guys and the rest of the internett.
As far as i have concluded: Both have amazing screen, Both have good cameras, Both as fast and Xiaomi have better battery, but does not look as good as the OnePlus. OnePlus is also cheaper
Would i as an Amature Photographer, Videomaker and Android user see and feel the difference?
Only one is for sale in my country atm, but i can wait for the Xiaomi

Hi fellows,
Since the seperated from Huawei, Honor Watch Magic 2 didn't get any update. As I know Huawei Watch GT2s got updates around 10 times but Honor did not, and I am not happy for this situation.
As you know, these smartwatches are almost completely same and I was wondering, can I change my Honor smartwatch's rom to Huawei GT2's rom.
Is it possible?
Thanks.
Would be interesting to know. Any news about this?
It will be very nice if we can install the huawei watch gt 2 rom on honor magic watch 2 and benefit from the updates. All the features of the devices are the same anyway.
Same here, I have a HMW2 and I would like to get the updates. It's not fair to abandone the support for the devices. We should still get support for the device because when it got to the market Honor was still part of Huawei
It would be nice to do it, but for now the bootloader is locked i think.
I hope huawei will solve it.
Hi, have you guys any solution for this? HMW hadn't had any update for such a long time I don't believe it will get any in the future.
Up !
yeah...really regretting not adding those 10bucks extra to get the GT2. will not buy anything from Honor from now on.
no idea if it possible, but have you guys found out a way to move to GT2 firmware?
