I ordered the U pro from GearBest. I will post my experience when I get it in a few days (or weeks ).
I usually root my phones but never tried one with a snapdragon. According to some accounts it is more difficult to root the snapdragon than the MTK.
Also the U pro is GMS certified. Which might be another hurdle.

I also ordered a phone with GearBest, I am also waiting and I hope that he will stay with me in a few days. I will share my impressions

Same here, the phone is on its way and I'll need some help to enable additional lte frequencies. What I've read in specs the "global" doesn't have a lot of useful bands for the US.

I order the U pro on Feb. 9 at GearBest and it arrived on Feb 15.
So far I am absolutely thrilled. Everything works. Some functions smoothly others like the finger print scanner can use some improvements.
I read some comments about NFC not working. Particularly with Android pay. But as I do not have that in my country of residence it is not a big issue for me. I tried NFC however but managed to transfer pic files only. It might be a short coming of the phone or my inexperience.
I also can not comment on the camera. For me the picture qualities are good enough because I buy phone with a camera and not a camera with a phone.
The battery charges fast and even with constant use it is sufficient for a hole day. But then I am also no gamer.
Anyone encountered a problem let us know. If you can add a solution to it even better.

ye also receiving today my u pro, would be nice if we could open a forum about it!

Hi, I was watching your review. Great and to the point. I am surprised that this phone is not yet more popular. But as you mentioned the price might be a turn off for many. However so far think I got what I paid for.
Just hope we can get a twrp recovery for this phone soon.
I rooted my previous P9000 and I miss all the fun you have with a rooted phone.

That's great if you can do that. I am just a user. I know how to tweak a phone but I don't know how to write code.

Google cam mod works
I got my phone 2 days ago and it works perfect. Camera needs more software tweeks. I menaged to install google pixel2 cam apk and it helps with low light noise in the original elephone app. Camera mod is for snapdragon 820/821 but it works on elephone. I think they have camera 2API enebeled. There are some hickups in app but just with slowmotion but that is app issue not phone issue.
Overall great phone. Everythink works great and the screen is beautifull. I am waiting for wireless charger to check that feature. Pardon my english.

I hope you can share your twrp. I for my part don't mind to spend a few dollars if it works well.
Also would be interested in rooting the U pro with Magisk. I had no problems with rooting the P9000 with superSu and Magisk. Magisk did root it but I never got around the safety net.
Also I did not manage to see the U pro in win explorer. The phone is recognized in the PC but doesn't show in explorer.

Question before buying Mate 8

i really want to buy mate 8 and i love it but i'm afraid from one thing i'm a user that root his phone and use xposed and flash roms
my question is rooting and xposed will work on this phone without problems?
and i think for mate 8 there is no number of custom roms
it is nornal that the phone is new but my question is like after 2 years when the phone stop to recieve update it will be a custom rom for it ? like Cyanogen?
Root yes ,xposed not working, stock ROM is very good with Google now launcher
I don't believe that CM is making ROMs for Mate 8
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using Tapatalk
Root works, xposed works, no cm ROM in sight but delete a bunch of bloat apps, replace them with Google apps instead, and use layers manager along with theme app for a very close to aosp ROM feel
Have to say, was very anxious to find out how Emui would be in practice. If it would be bloated, ugly, overkill, etc.
But now, after using the device for a few days, can honestly say that I wouldn't want it to be any other way! The amount of things you can change, set or extract techy data from is enormous. Don't want stock Android anymore. Don't want CM13. This is it. Emui rulez! :good:
It's fast, smooth, does it all. No regrets. Can't / won't downgrade to stock/ AOSP / CM

Many people reported that xposed didn't work.
Did it work with you with any modification ?

Mine doesn't even get warm. There are no dots on the screen either. Having a large battery makes it charge a little slower but mine charges fast if I use the original ac adapter and cable.
hi. i read about camera app taking forever to launch. any similar experience? does using another camera app solve the problem?. also how good is the loadspeaker? im coming from s5>nexus6>note edge and they all have pretty loud sound
Hello everybody, I was wondering if someone could tell me the best mate8 model to buy I will be using it in the usa. I'm using the mate2 now and it is a solid mid-ranger. I have unlocked the bootloader and have cm13 running on it now. I would appreciate your suggestions on the mate8 models and why you pick it. Thanks..
I'm interested in buying a Mate 8 and I was wondering if you can shoot RAW pictures using the Mate 8?
I know that it has a "Pro Mode" option but I can't find any videos online showing a full indept review of that feature, so could anyone explain/elaborate on that?
Many thanks in advance!

Most Raw-capable camera apps you can download from the Play Store won't work as well due to crap implementation on Huawei's side:
Shame, really.

If you wish to buy a Huawei phone and need RAW image files, you have to wait for the release of P9 (April 16th) or P9 Plus (May 20th) that both offer this functionality.
Thank you guys for the reply.
That's really sad to hear then. My LG G4 recently died on me with the infamous boot loop problem and I can't get it fixed anytime soon. I might wait for reviews of the new P9 but I do like the Mate 8 as well though. I'd just have to sacrifice RAW function then =/

It's not only a matter of RAW vs non-RAW... P9/P9 Plus dual camera has been yet tested by some reviewers and defined a significant step forward compared to Mate 8 (but still worse than Samsung S7).

You are right, there's more to it than just RAW, but having RAW function is usually beneficial as you can process the picture later and not rely solely on the phone's image processor. Although if the phone's image processor is good to begin with then you shouldn't need RAW.
My G4 had RAW and I quite liked it, managed to get some good shots during my holiday before it died on me(luckily it died after my vacation was over, lol).
How is the Mate 8's Pro/Manual Mode? Is it any good?

Not very good, no. Yes, lots of options but don't buy this phone for the camera. Much, much better alternatives (like your G4).

Project Treble

So in some of the news articles a lot of people were complaining that moto have a bad track record when it comes to updates. I'd like to point out that these new phones are releasing with Oreo which means that they have project treble. This makes it far far easier to adapt updates and roms to these phones so even if moto don't bother expect to have all the options! XD
Hi,
First we need to see a method for installing Magisk and a Custom Recovery!
Any news?
These phone always bring lots attention from development so , there is no need to worry about !

It should be arriving today. Once I have it set-up, I'll try to say something useful about it
Edit: the phone arrived. Setting it up now. Until now everything is smooth. The screen is really nice. Speed is great. Pity to see that 'out of the box' 20% of the internal 64 gb is already taken by the OS and it's native apps.
For now I didn't figure out if the OS is 64 bit or 32 bit.
The camera(s) is (are) really awesome! For now no regrets! But the phone still has a locked bootloader and no root. So for now I can't really check everything. But that's only a matter of time...
The OS is 64 bit!

Please, can you share info about sensors? It has Compass? NFC?
Another question: As the root/Magisk isn't available at time for this model, can you check almost the Substratum native support with Andromeda (no root required)?

Compass and NFC work both fine. I didn't deliberately test GPS, but location service works fine. And sorry, I really, really hate substratum! No theming for me. One of the reasons that I buy a 'stock android' phone without a skin.
Only little disappointment for now is the battery life. That was better on my Moto G5 Plus with Validus O, but it still brings me through the day.
Here is the complete list of sensors I found on my Moto G6 Plus!

Hi,
More questions for you:
- The XT1926-3 (RETEU) model of Moto G6+, which "code number" has? For example for the Moto G5+ is "potter". It can be "teller"?
- The phone has FM Radio receiver? How it works?

The battery life was promised as excellent. It's good, but not as good as my Moto G5 Plus with Validus O.
I have the XT1926-3 4/64. Bought in The Netherlands. Codename is 'evert-n' (at least that's what it shows in ADB).
I don't see an FM Radio app, so I assume it doesn't have FM radio. But I usually listen radio via a digital radio app that works online. Way better sound quality and it works without wired headphone!
It does have an fm radio.
I switched from a Nexus 6p to the Moto g6 plus a couple of days ago.
It's a lot cheaper than the 6p was but definitely holds up against it.
It's fast and smooth. Display is very good outdoors in bright sunlight. Its front facing speaker is very loud, camera's are good and the software as it is almost stock Android is also excellent.
Battery life has been great. I am quite the heavy user, and never once with my 6p was I able to get through more then a day. Always ended my days in the 10% with 3h Screen on time.
The Moto g6 has gotten me 2 full days per charge with a screen on time of more then 5 hours. Even with me still downloading apps and installing things.
Only drawback I can find in the whole phone is that it is slippery as hell. A case can easily solve this. But its too bad because she is quite a looker...
This is actually off topic of the project trebble thread, bus as you guys were talking about the 6 plus, I thought I would weigh in.

Hi,
Extracted from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/development/moto-g6-plus-firmware-t3788735#post76484034 it seems that the Moto G6+ is "EVERT".
Regards.
How is the battery compared to the old Z Play? Here I have 14h sot. Maybe reachable just with the new G6 Play, right? I think I keep on Z Play. It's good enough. But G6 Plus seems to be great, too. Can anybody check treble support? It it's supported, it's looking like that. You can test it with this app "Treble Check". Thanks!

Netflix and other streaming apps ?

So I got my phone yesterday and installed all the stuff I usually use , question is why does Netflix and other streaming apps look horrible on this phone ? Is it because of the screen ? I was using an old iPhone 6 as a temp while I waited for this and video looked so much nicer on that screen even on 480p. Anyone else think the playback on this is bad or is it just me ? I did have a note 8 but I sold it to try this phone, wanted to try something new. I know lcd and amoled are on each device but I don't think it should be that bad of a difference if I think an iPhone 6 looks better , any thoughts ? What's your experience with this coming from another phone flagship or not ? :good:
This is over data and wifi and both have decent speeds for netflixing or even YouTube IMO
Two different apns for T-Mobile in s.california
Edit also binge is off on my account
Hi,
im thinking to buy this phone , can you explain what do you mean that looks bad ? can you take a photo of the "issue" with another phone ?
thanks
I think I just found the problem to this. Correct me if I am wrong.
I believe there seems to be the same problem with mix 2. There is a licensing called widevine L3. And it only let's the device play on SD quality. Not HD. so... I think we are in a bit of a dilemma.

From what I'm reading Netflix isn't a app fault it's a phone thing it won't play anything pass 480p because of drmservices , I fixed YouTube with a moded version set it to 1080 on default I'm looking for a Netflix fix but I doubt will get one
I may have found a solution...

is very disappointing in case , would be good to know if will be present in mi mix 2s global version as well.
I just checked with DRM info app. The device supports only widevine level 3. But level 1 is required for netflix in hd,unfortunately.
It is just a matter of software (free of any licencing fees), though, we might ask xiaomi to implenent it..
I did send suggestion thru their feedback section I think we should all do it maybe they'll actually do something about it

I believe all Mi Mix iterations have the issue, regardless of the ROM. BUT!, Widevine is owned or whatever by Google, so with Google giving the Mix 2s the Android P Dev Previews, I wonder if they would have included the L1 DRM for HD streaming

Its the same with oneplus.
Again, if anyone knows someone who's running the dev preview, please get them to check, we'd appreciate it.
I don't think it's how it works with Netflix. Even if your device has software and hardware compatible with Netflix level of DRM, Netflix still will need to certify it, before you will be able to watch HDR10 resolution
That's why we root and install custom ROMs ;-/

Is there any GCMod with motion photo for OnePlus6 now?

I have tried many APKs at https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/#apk195 and some others for OnePlus5/5T.
They are not working.
Anyone have a solution for this problem?
THX.
Also didn't manage to find a working app that gives the same quality like I had with gcmod5 on OP3 before yet
MGC_5.2.022 yields pretty good results for me.
Gcam doesn't work properly with SD845 yet.

WOW, I also installed this one. But I didn't get motion photo and portrait mode. Is there any setting for this version to open them?
I though it is suggested setting when u install it.

I think SD845 has been released for a while==
When will we get this feature.
Does MGC_5.2.022 have dots on photos?
m really confused, wheather should i go ahead and buy op6 or should i wait for improved op6t !!
at oneplus experience store, i clicked a lot of pics, but certainly i am not satisfied with the quality which we used to get in op3t !! with a gcam mod. It just blows away. M using IP7 as a spare phone and camera is pretty good, m not a iphone guy. hopefully someone find out to make camera better. specifically, portrait mode ported from google pixel 2 ! fingers crossed.
Any version of Gcam I tried doesn't work on the 6. HDR+ seems to be nonfunctional. Maybe it really just isn't compatible with the SD845

It is not working.
After selecting model. either Pixel or Nexus and restart the app, it pops up with error.
If you do not select any model, HDR just don't running.

Maybe after the Pixel 3 release.
With SD 845 doesn't work HDR+; so it's usefuy, for now.
I got Urikills version of gcam to process the HDR+-shot twice. After that, no go. Tried to reproduce but cant make it happen. Settings were Pixel / Nexus 6 auto hdr+ / super fine.
Just saying that there is hope.

That is reasonable
Maybe someone will find a workaround...

You got the pictures with you?
Can you upload to gdrive and share the link here?
Tried the new GoogleCamera-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-V3.apk today. Instant crash

Request to any P40 owner

There was an option in camera app on my previous Samsung Galaxy S8+, and it appears it's an option with Huawei's Mate 20 series, that allows the camera to only record slow-mo video when motion is detected.
However, this 'only record when motion detected' slow-mo option is missing on my P30 Pro.
Can anyone with a P40-series phone let me know if Huawei put it back in?
EDIT: Never mind. Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps. Here's what I captured:
Yes its back..

Thank you, very much.
How frustrating.
Could you possibly do me a favor and let me know the version of the camera app you have?
That way, I can try to find an APK to sideload.

Interesting.
Latest for my P30 Pro is 10.0.1.348.
Huawei released update today including golden snap to the camera. Don't know what it is yet.

Global or Chinese? Which Version?
I'm in the UK with p40pro so must be global. Just do a system software update to 10.1.0.114
Never mind - Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps.
Here's what I captured:
Not sure if I'm finding the correct setting. But on my p40pro the option to record slow ow on on motion dection works on all fps options but you have to set the area where it my detect motion.

Off the topic query but how are you finding the p40pro till now in terms of camera and the software experience? ..i have ordered one here in UK and will probably get it in a couple of days

First off it it's a beautiful device and feels great in the hand. It's one of those devices that you find satisfying to touch.
The camera is excellent exactly how I expected it to be after owning a mate 20 Pro a last year, and that device ruined my experience of owning a note 10 plus as the camera on the note just couldn't compare.
Software is good although EMUI is one of my favourite android skins anyway. I find it pretty easy to live without gms as I don't really do social media or anything.
It is easy to put gms on this device although I took it off just to run a stock phone as stock. Due to the fact the only things I wanted from gms (Google pay and music) won't work anyway.
Main gripe with this phone is no gpay or banking apps. Hopefully Huawei can sort this soon. Oh and no stereo speaker or dolby atmos.
Now I need to decide whether to switch from my note 10 plus to this or not?

Thanks a lot..i had the note 10plus and i agree its a beautiful device though camera might be a level below p40pro. So its a tough decision.
I hv a iphone11 pro max and will probably use p40pro as a secondary phone mainly due to its camera

Yeah the note Is a good phone but Samsung ruined the note with a software update that made the camera blurry and the Bluetooth streaming skip on music play back. And seems as though I take 100+ inspection photos daily for work it's very annoying.
I just can't get on with Samsung ui either it's too much.
The thought of not being fully tracked by Google is quite refreshing as well.
It is weird how nice this phone feels... I find even if I'm not using it I just rotate it in the hand whilst watching TV odd.
