[Discussion] Official Beta - Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion

THIS THREAD IS FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE OFFICIAL ANDROID N BETA PROGRAMME ONLY - IT IS NOT FOR ASKING HOW TO JOIN OR ABOUT FLASHING THE BUILDS FOUND ON XDA
Thought I would make a thread to discuss things about the Official Beta programme and builds so that we have a place to compare notes, bugs etc.
Remember if you do find any bugs, please also report them within the beta app on the phone otherwise they might never be fixed!

Was thinking to make the same thread! Just a clean thread about the Official beta. Hope soon someone will post pictures/videos with it. I was kinda scared to join the beta due to lack of SD card and a little knowledge about manual flashing if something gets wrong.
I have some questions for people who will try the official beta:
1. Does Notes app sync now with Google account.
2. Please post some screenshots on the emojis/keyboard with official Huawei Keyboard and do you see some big changes there.
3. New camera mods? Improvements when shooting video?
4. Some new Stock apps from Huawei (like finally Reminder app...)?
5. Battery time (of course after couple day of use).
6. Can you finally turn off the Haptic Feedback? It's so annoying right now. I don't understand why they removed to option to turn it off at all.
7. Some new themes in the store?
8. Can we add now notification badge to all apps?

I just got it in Bulgaria after applying in the local test. Will share more info later

FYI - I decided to do a full test of this firmware and factory reset - everything seems fine except the beta app is no longer accessible. It is installed, but just has no way to launch it - which means you cannot install the apk manually as it already exists.

I know about this. My problem is, when I pick up a call my phone vibrates, when I like a Photo with Pop up windows on Instagram, phone vibrates.. and in some other occasion...

i've noticed this as well, hopefully we get another build that fixes that and the flip case steps counter issue as well. bit annoying as we have no way of reporting to Huawei easily to tell them about the bug.

I will be trying some things tonight to see if I can fix it, but without root it might be futile.

ok cool, let me know if you solve it. and yeah without root will be difficult, maybe hi-suite will show the app and let you uninstall?

I Just got mine today. This beta doesnt look like a beta . Everything I´ve checked so far works.
It´s really responsive.

Can you repack the apk with a different name/id and manually install it?

nice idea, but not so simple, we don't have huawei's key to sign it with so the phone would reject it.

True, but you can self-resign? It won't install as system-level app, but may get you access to the bug reporter etc

Any advices?

if you read the other posts in this thread you wouldn't have asked the question - this has already been reported and @Lennyuk is trying to find a solution. He has also stated that full wipes don't work to bring it back either and i have already stated that you can't install the app. this app is already installed but it does not show up to the user and without root there isn't anything we can do

1. Syncs only with HiCloud (Huawei ID) but appears to be broken
2. The keyboard is Swype (again) with its own emojis
3. One new plug-in that can be installed - Good food for food pictures. So far this looks like Samsung way to extend the camera
4. There is a new HiGame app for downloading games (looks useless)
7. There are number of themes but i don't use them so cannot comment are they more than before or not
8. Right now this option is available only for Settings, Email and Themes

texting works, im just not too smooth understanding the language, im a stoopid american. got a force close on the phone call test, will wipe all like 5 times each and re-install. i cant sleep anyways, so thanks again for giving me something productive to do. =)
edit : after wiping all 3 times each, phone seems to run a lot faster, this rom loads very quick, even on the 2.6.29 kernel. phone call test works as well, incoming & outgoing tested. no leds, as u stated, ill look around and see what i can do about that
Just make sure to wipe all 3 times before installing the rom.

nope, still aint working 4 me. even after all the wipes and all, the market will only show me book section. the apps and games sections show absolutely nothing now. idk, i think maybe being that i havent slept in like 4 or 5 days im messing up somewhere. ok, now im not on crack or nothing, but i did a battery pull, and pressed the power button, it loaded immediately. i completely pulled the battery, too. now i got a triangle icon next to the battery???

1st time, went into cwm 2.5.0.7 and went into mounts and formatted system, data, cache, boot 3 times each and then went and wiped dalvik 2 times, rebooted recovery, flashed rom. market would show 2 results under apps, both were games
2nd time, used calkulins format all zip 5 times, wiped dalvik 3 times, rebooted recovery, flashed rom. market will only show book results, apps and games is completely blank.
should i flash gapps or no? i didnt think it was necessary since market was already on the phone
also, not using FR or any scripts

I got it somewhere on net but "teamandroid" community has problems with download.... Versions of apps are same. I think that huawei didn't release any update for these apps.
Hi, first thank you for your work. Most people don't understand that you guys work for "free", other then donations. Secondly I am asking you directly because in working with this device I have gotten many different responses. Some have stated that roms written for the U8800-Pro will also work on the U8800-51 from Consumer Cellular. I haven't tried that because others have said installing your rom on my 51 would brick it. I have installed and am running Aurora ICS from this guide on XDA
From stock to ICS a guide for your U8800-51 or AT&T Impulse 4G
I don't want to do anything stupid so since this is your rom I was hoping you could give me a difinitive answer, can I use your ROM on the U8800-51? If not is there a ICS Rom you could recommend?
Thank you very much in advance, this is forum in very confusing and I want to do the right thing since it's not my phone but my husbands.

Huawei keyboard is one of the best I have ever seen!
It has one minus (when you type a web address, 'space' is replaced by '.com' by default - you need to press alt), but a huge plus (you can slide to obtain secondary characters instead of long-pressing).
File manager is balanced, not better or worse than others. It is very nicely integrated with the cloud.
Backup application is a good replacement for Titanium (backups data and applications)
I prefer the default 4.1.1 camera. Huawei application has some good points, but still I prefer the default from gapps. Also, please note that Hauwei Gallery does not sync with Picasa!
I don't recommend Huawei Weather, as it does not always work. on the screen in get a location not found.

Thanks for your opinion of this thread.
I think that you can try install ROMs for U8800 & U8800pro to your device. But if you like your current ROM so I recommended "don't try it". U8800-51 has different wi-fi and bt drivers so if you'll try install these ROMs your wi-fi and bt won't work. For recommending ROMs you must install all ROMs for your device because all users have diferents requirements.

I like stock camera app too. For weather: app is working but widget don't work. (widget works only on huawei stock ROMs).
This sounds interesting. I suppose this works with non-Huawei phones? As for the question about Gingerbread, I'm sure these work with a specific version of Android, or rather Huawei's version of Android, e.g. HTC Sense for HTC phones.
In any case, I am curious about the DLNA receiver (or maybe server?) and the keyboard. Had I found this earlier, I could have tested on a couple builds. Nandroid backup my AOKP ROM, then factory reset it, and flash this, test in a clean 4.1.2 ROM, then flash my CM7 Nandroid, factory reset that, flash this, test in a clean 2.3.7 ROM... Woulda been fun. Subscribed to this topic, I'll definitely do all that in a few days when I get a chance, and I will take screenshots if nobody's done it by then.
Thank you so very much. I'll play around with it a bit and let you know what I come up with. Your response is very appreciated and very informative.
Cheers!!!

Aroma appears to have installed nothing. Wallpaper chooser can be installed as a normal app (AFAIK, all wallpaper choosers can... so collect them from ROMs you test, if you like the wallpapers they offer...), not sure about the others. I checked them all in Aroma and it (TWRP I guess) said the flash was successful. But nothing installed. I can push them manually and set permissions accordingly, though.
Camera can be installed as a normal app as well. It's very nice, but it does not support the ICS/JB swipe to preview/swipe back to take another. Also can't seem to record video. It says my internal memory is full (it's not) and that it will save to SD card (that's fine) but pictures take and videos don't record. The record icon doesn't change.
DLNA *seems* to work, but it times out when trying to connect. So does ES File Explorer. Fault: Most likely mine. I suck at networking. I tell Windows 7 to share my damn files and that should be that. Give "Everyone" read permission and no one "write" permission (because f*** you you can't edit my damn files son, but you can look at them). My brother got DLNA (via MotoBlur) to work with PS3 Media Server running in Windows. We use that to stream from PC to Xbox, guess we need it for Android as well (or we could learn networking and not be such chumps, but PS3MS is easy mode).
Not messing with File Manager or Cloud. I already have the best file manager (ES File Explorer, IMO it's the best) and I have a ton of clouds. It feels disingenuous to use Huawei's without buying a Huawei device. They can see you've never used a Huawei device and they can close your account. Whether they will or not is another matter. Dropbox will give you 2GB, Google Drive will give you 5GB, and so will a bunch of others, like Box, SugarSync, and Ubuntu One (the latter doesn't care if you use Ubuntu or not). Amazon also has a 5GB cloud, but no Android app (this is separate from Amazon MP3, which does have an app).
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
i just installed DLNA app, but it doesnt work properly... I cant select folders to share.....i dont think im doing something wrong....

It is possible that this works only on Huawei phones. What phone do you have, what version, ROM, etc...

Hello world! I just (beta) released my own, first Android application to Play Store!
As of now it's in beta and I need your help!
I need testers!
I have created a group/community on Google+ where everyone is free to join (although it seems I have to accept individually.. Annoying!)
There you can find links to the beta signup and the app on playstore and you need to join the community to be able to download the Beta.
The plan is to take the app out of beta as soon as possible but that requires some serious testing and without you that's not possible!
So give me all feedback, even the worst kind! Bugreports, screenshots, hugs! Everything!
You can also share your ideas and thoughts. There is also a changelog section for updates!
Anyone speaking all but Swedish and English are very welcome to help translating the app!
Soon:
- Online storage
- Widgets
- Ability to share notes (E-mail, export to textfiles etc.)
- Themes (Color palettes basically)

I just downloaded this app and it looks very nice for a beta application.
I'd like to make one suggestion however. I can already see the security question you chose to implement in the security section of the app is going to cause a lot of fuss by the general public. I can already see people being weary putting their real credit card # in because they will think you will be able to see this answer. Then they are going to put in a fake #, forget what they used, and get locked out. This results in a 1 star review.
My suggestion is to create a list of 10 or so predefined questions they can answer. Even better let them type in their own question that they can answer.

Hi. Thank you for your time!
This has crossed my mind and had me thinking, but then I remembered the 4 last digits are the only ones that show (most of the times I can remember, anyhow) if you add a creditcard to a online site, for example. Plus its basically impossible to forget! So I thought this would make no difference, but I'm afraid you're right.
Other security questions will be in the next update (or after that one), because this is a very big deal. And ofcourse the ? button will be removed, its only for developer/beta purpose.
Thank you for pointing this out!
A bit weird on my phone
Sent from my GT-I8150 using XDA Free mobile app
its awesome but also on my device the floating button is like @handgun50 screenshoot, on my tablet floating button is just black weird looking and just white plus no pink color, when i go to settings and try change password whatever i do it says wrong password, i wish to see transparent status bar also or just like original material design 500 in app and 700 for status bar

This was fixed in the latest update. Try updating the app from Play Store and see if you still have this problem. Thank you both.
I am glad it's in active development

Hi and thanks for trying out my application.
The Statusbar
It cannot be colored as in android L because you cannot mix android L with previous versions of android since its the developer preview (it's just that, a preview). So the only way to do this (for now) is by replicating the design and other effects to make them work in previous android versions where the coloring of statusbar obviously cannot be done.
I could however, make a separate app only for android L but imagine having to work with two apps at once.. Alone.
When they release the full thing this will be possible in the same app by declaring the sdk to L (or whatever it will be called).
Offline Mode
The offline mode is for when I have an online database to keep the notes. As of now its only local. When this is ready, you will be able to choose whether you want to keep your notes online or local.
Thank you.

Just a couple of things:
a) Is there no longer a beta community? I go to G+ Community and then Beta signup, but all I see is:
Sorry – nothing to see here.
There may be several reasons:
The app that you’re looking for doesn't exist
or
the app developer is not currently running a test
or
you are not eligible to participate in the testing programme.
If you received the link to this page from someone, we recommend that you contact them for more information.

b) I have not installed it yet ... will do it soon, but in the meantime, on the screenshots, I see those label kind of things (Beta, Incredible, Similey, etc...) what are they? I mean, I would love to have either folders or "labels" as Gmail does so that I can group notes and then would like to have a lock/unlock feature for each group/folder/label.
c) I would also think it would be nice if the online feature allowed th user to save the notes to ones own Gmail or Google Drive account or even maybe dropbox or box.
Design looks nice.
Off to download, but will look at it only tomorrow.
Cheers!

its can be done look on lg g3 kk stock when you enter any app status bar change color, and also with an xposed module can be done that on rom but i wont use xposed (art reason), for example look on app "pushbullet" awesome transparanecy on statusbar and navigation bar am just suggesting so you will do what you like

The google+ community should be working as its supposed to. For me both links work fine. Have you joined the community before you try to join the beta?
These are tags. The tags are like categories. I am working on a way to sort these by tags. In the meantime all they do is to show you what kind of note it is.
To be able to share the note is one of my primary goals. You should be able to save to a local textfile, send by email and save to drive. I have successfully added a file in drive with the name of the title but the part where the content fills the file is very hard.
Thank you for trying out my app and thank you for f
The feedback. Much appreciated.
Gorgeous! Really good job here, here are some recommendations:
1/ Can you implement a feature, where I can restore my notes from Google Keep?
2/ Archiving notes, so only the important ones are visible
3/ Purple colored "Title" is burning my eyes!

Thank you for trying my app. And thanks for the kind words.
I don't know how Keep works (I mean behind the scenes) so that might be difficult. Worth looking into though since alot of people are using Keep. Great tip.
Yes this will be implemented. You will be able to swipe away notes later on. This follows android guidelines and its very useful.
Oh, really? Sorry to hear that it's the color that burns your eyes or the actual little text? Its probably not needed since the inputfield has a hint saying 'Title'. Will look into it

Nougat WhatsApp bug

Hi,
I'm experiencing a really annoying bug on Nougat with WhatsApp, wondering if anyone else is having it.
When you go to take a photo directly from WhatsApp and try to add a caption to that photo the caption bar goes missing. You can still type but you just won't be able to see what you're typing.
However, if you attach an existing photo and add a caption, the caption bar is there, even if you attach the same image you took a photo with earlier!
I've tried this on stock ROM as well as most custom ROMs and the problem is still there. I've even tested it on an old S5 running Lineage and the problem is there so it's not a problem with just S7. I've also tried multiple different keyboards and it all happens. Tried beta WhatsApp and it also still happens.
This is a screenshot of me using the WhatsApp camera to take a photo. As you can see the caption text input bar is missing.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here's a screenshot of me attaching that photo and the caption text input bar is visible.
Wondering if anyone else can verify that this is just me or it happens to others as well and if there's a solution out there.
Thank you very much.
the same to me!
got the same issue on S5 with lineageOS
i have this issue in whats app also in titanium backup when u type in the top bar u cant see the letters because its like a grey font anyone see that aswell
rom : superman 2.1 , just so everyone knows thats a 7.X base
Yep. Same here. Obviously a bug. But with Whatsapp or with Nougat I wonder? Hopefully it's Whatsapp and they can provide an update soon.

Hi OP! :highfive:
I couldn't find any evidence to support you're claim so if what you're saying is true please provide some tangible proof of your statement otherwise I'm just going to assume you're being a [email protected] :good: Yeah?
An official changelog from whichever Whatsapp APK you're using that states the issue has been fixed may be informative and redeem your statement.
I couldn't find any evidence (regarding your attachment) where Whatsapp ACTUALLY acknowledges a bug on their behalves. They simply acknowledge that you are having an issue while using their app. Go read your attachment again - this time slowly and concentrate REAL hard when your'e doing so lol :laugh:
FYI - I was using Whatsapp 2.17.65 on firmware G930FXXU1DQAS while experiencing this issue. After upgrading to G930FXXU1DQB7 the issue magically <insert sarcasm> disappeared and I was still using Whatsapp 2.17.65.
Ergo, the logical conclusion here is that the firmware was buggy (very likely because it's Nougat 7.0) and not Whatsapp. Hardly rocket science to assume this eh?

You also never bothered to publish "your" answer to your own question which YOU initiated. That is evident judging by the date that Whattsapp Support answered your email in your attachment. Go figure :laugh:

Hi thundastruck,
My apologies if you mistook my previous post as some sort of attack towards you, I assure you that it is not my intentions at all. I don’t think it warranted such a negative and incendiary response from you.
I’m simply relaying what information I have to hopefully help others and I fully acknowledge that you are trying to help others as well for which I appreciate.
I know my English isn’t great (I sometimes misspell your and you’re as well) so from this line I received from them “We are aware of the issue and we are working on fixing it in a future update of WhatsApp.” I gathered that they are acknowledging the issue exists and even mentioned that they are working on a fix on their end. Granted you may interpret that in another way.
I too am running 1DQB7 (as attached) and the problem persisted for me until the most recent WhatsApp beta update. I am currently on version 2.17.74 of WhatsApp (also attached). Which is where I derived my logical conclusion. Now I fully am open to the possibility of it being something else entirely as you and I have different results. I'm in the process of trying to screen capture my phone to upload a video of how it works on one version and not the other and I will provide that as evidence to you soon.
As for why it took me a while to update this post is because I don’t actively check it until I receive notification that I have been quoted.
Once again, I am deeply sorry if I offended you.
Edit:
As I mentioned above, I managed to screen capture both instances of WhatsApp. One on 2.17.65 where the caption bar is missing when capturing a photo directly from WhatsApp and also on beta version 2.17.74 where the caption bar is working.
Not working: https://youtu.be/I4lAjEPnmTc
Working: https://youtu.be/kR2fPrDdLFA
I'm not saying this is the fix as you clearly have other ideas but it fixed it for my case and I hope you can see where I drew my conclusions from based on the information I've seen.
1) The wording of the support email from WhatsApp saying they "are aware of the issue and are working on a fix"
2) I'm also on firmware 1DQAS and others have also expressed the same bug on different firmware and even on different ROMS such as Lineage (7.1.1)
3) When on version 2.17.65 of WhatsApp the problem persists but on version 2.17.74 the problem is gone
Thank you.

Your argument invalidated mine which warranted my response. Please see my attachments.
Btw it look's like your phone has been "modified" judging by the appearance of "superkernel" in your screenshot? If so you should make mention of that. Please note my handset is in vanilla state and running official samsung software, not rooted nor any roms. Been there, done that
Have a pleasant day. Cheers :good:

There's already a NOOB thread,got lots of good info:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nex/help/help-thread-question-noob-friendly-2018-t3806039
You don't have to do anything special to get it working on T-Mobile, it'll automatically select the proper APN.
As for getting it set up for Google services:
Go to the VIVO App Market (no VIVO account needed for setting up GOOGLE) ,then type google and you will see:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then click "下载" button on the first app ,then it will download and automatically install on your phone.
Then go to your phone's "file manager " and go to button and you will see this app:"Google Play1.apk",then click it to install.
And you will see this :
Click continue installation button to install it,then Google Play will work.

ATM, there's not a lot to sort through, give all the threads a look, you'll get an idea of what to expect before you get the phone in hand.

I've asked the same question elsewhere in the forum here,as to what specifically would be considered safe to delete,never got a response from the person who'd used ADB to disable/delete the VIVO Bloat.
There's this generic tutorial here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
As to what is safe,as a rule, it's about the same across the board from one mfg to the next,but,I don't have a VIVO-specific "safe list".

Thank you very much, I will go through it now and report back
EDIT: I didn't want to uninstall things that I felt were risky but everything I did "uninstall" using the guide was "safe"
I accidently closed console so I dont have a complete list of what I uninstalled (stupid mistake)
BUT it included:
vivo.com
vivo app store
vivo voice recorders
ALL Jovi applications and system apps (Jovi is unresponsive and does not open yay, but the screen shot Chinese store search still operates. I'm not sure what to uninstall to get rid of that)
all the vivo apps that were labeled only in Chinese and contained Chinese payment/social media applications that weren't system apps
imusic
imanager
browser
funtouch launcher
email
all applications that are replaceable by a working google version etc
There are system applications that I want to uninstall but they may play critical roles and I don't want to risk bricking the phone, basically I followed a rule that if it sounded like it did something important and/or was a system service DO NOT uninstall.
PS: These things worked for my phone and so far I haven't come across any issue. I do not take responsibility if the same does not work on your phone or something worse happens.

You don't have to do anything special to get it working on T-Mobile, it'll automatically select the proper APN.
As for getting it set up for Google services:
Go to the VIVO App Market (no VIVO account needed for setting up GOOGLE) ,then type google and you will see:
Then click "下载" button on the first app ,then it will download and automatically install on your phone.
Then go to your phone's "file manager " and go to button and you will see this app:"Google Play1.apk",then click it to install.
And you will see this :
Click continue installation button to install it,then Google Play will work.
ATM, there's not a lot to sort through, give all the threads a look, you'll get an idea of what to expect before you get the phone in hand.

Press & hold until you see an "X" ,tap it & the offending widget should disappear.
To add a widget,swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up the quick settings,you should see a list of widgets available at the very bottom.
Scroll through until you see what you want,press/hold & drag to desktop.
JMHO,you'd be better off using Nova or virtually any 3rd party launcher other than stock,a lot more customization options & a helluva lot easier to navigate...

How has your vivo been working in T-Mobile? Is LTE available? Really want to buy this phone but internet speed is one of my concerns . Thanks.

Take a look here for compatibility:

Thanks koliosis, I think I'll get the 845 variant. I have the Mi mix 2S right now and it's great. I was holding out for the Mi mix 3 but this Nex phone looks amazing. I'm just not too familiar with data bands and thought the 3 out of 5 stars for 4g meant no LTE.

With my usage, I can verify the SD 845 Model gets T-Mobile US Bands 2/4/12. :good:

Short-lived,I sold mine & ordered the Oppo Find X.
If you're looking for aftermarket development,look elsewhere.
The weirdness of the Funtouch U/I can be overcome,all the info to do so is posted in the forum here.
One BTW that's not well-known:
No NFC on-board...............................
Thank You ,you've been very helpful, that oppo find x caught my eye as well.

I switch phones quite frequently, so, my short time with the phone isn't a true indicator of my experience with it.
Overall, it worked for me, the specs, display/audio/camera, IMHO, are top notch.
Lack of NFC is a non-factor for me, so, I'd rate it an 8 of 10,losing two points for the Funtouch U/I, however as I mentioned, if you wish, that can be customized to your liking, it will just take a bit more work to get it that way.

I like to tinker with phones so I might pull the trigger on it. Thanks again.

My NEX has been on TMobile's 4G LTE since I received my phone 2 weeks ago with no hiccups.
That's music to my ears , where did you get yours? I'm thinking eBay or AliExpress.
