Brand New P8 (from beloved Sony Ultra)

Course it's great... And will be my goto (til Sony S6 Ultra is released! )
Thankfully T-Mobile's Hspa+ is acceptable or it'd be on its ride back. It's virtually the same size device as Ultra...with a larger screen so that's fantastic.
Wish I could fully eliminate the Chinese language....like the update I just ran. Changeling is in Chinese and can't copy it so I can translate it. Have no idea what I updated!
Unlocking BL and rooting tonight. Wish me luck!

this post literally has no sense, meaning and purpose whatsoever ...

I understood it perfectly

I understood too... user who came from z ultra as well....
I generally suggest not rooting the phone though cos u will lose out on the OTA updates... which adds features and does lots of bug fixes...

Z ultra was great phablet
P8max is a beast
Fantastic

According to GSMArena, the P8 from Huawei has a $hitty camera too. It also lacks 4k video recording. WTF?
You should of waited for the upcoming Huawei P9 which is said to have an improved camera:

Yeah, it's a shame. I was so close to buying the P8. Great looks, size and amazing battery. Only poor single mono speaker and average camera...

GEAR S 2 connectivity issue with I Phone 7

People @ XDA need help
i updated my Gear s2 with a Samsung android phone
Model number SM-R732
Software version R732XXU2DPFB
when i even upair it with the previous samsung mobile and when search for the gear s2 through the iphone 7 bluetooth search option the gear s2 wont appear :C kindly help out guys ... why wont the device show on my iphone 7

There is no fix avaible yet. We are waiting the solution. I sent 2 mail to samsung and explained what happened but They havent reply. They work very slow.
Both Leaked Gear manager and Beta Gear manager doesnt work.
it works iphone 6s and under. Probably iphone 7 has 4 cores and different chipset system thats why it doesnt work. I hope Samsung is going to fix it as soon as possible.

Works with mine on 10.0.2....

Beta and Lite edition doesnt work iphone 7 plus edition. Other İphone models are working.
İf yours is iphone 7, How did you make it work?

I know it. When I first restore my personal settings My iphone 6 + to iphone 7 + fist time Gear Manager has run but it never connects Gear S2. Also it didnt connect Gear or see in bluetooth. So I deleted app and re install it but than it gives Simulator error. Thats the issue.

Hi slpro,
When you upgraded to iphone 7 - did you do a "restore phone" or you "set up your phone as new"?
:laugh:

Yes if you had Gear S2 already connected to iphone 6 and do a restore when you upgrade to iphone 7 - it seems to work.
But if you do a CLEAN setup as new phone for iphone 7 - Gear S2 cannot be paired. At least that's what I gathered from the information here.

Mate 20X/Install Update/Unbrick - Official FunkyHuawei Thread for Mate 20X

This is the official FunkyHuawei thread for the Mate 20X.
What FunkyHuawei Supports Currently:
1. Firmware Installation / Unbricking
FunkyHuawei supports the Mate 20X for unbricking and firmware installation, but support has not yet been made public. This will be updated when it is.
2. Rebranding
Rebranding is currently not possible on the Mate 20X, even with root or unlocked bootloader. If this changes in the future, it will be updated.
Those who need to install updates and so on are welcome to contact FunkyHuawei support for help while the release of support for this model is still private.
Any other questions, feel free to ask them here.

Can you unlock the bootloader so it can be rooted?
Also, is there any difference in hardware between the 6/128 China version and the 6/128 Global version?
I see people mention google support, but how can it be impossible to install google stuff on a rooted china model?
Thanks

Hi, would these apps work on this version of the phone?
- Gboard, Google Pay(I usually use it for contactless payment), UK banking apps(HSBC, Barclays, etc)

I dont believe there is any hardware difference just maybe 1 let band difference. Chinese model will get updates quicker as the main base is in China so there update that model first . Google pay etc worked fine on my Honor note 10 which came out in August, call it the smaller brother which has no global ROM .
I personally prefer Chinese model , can delete most Chinese apps fine , yes some will remain and some Chinese characters in certain parts but still prefer Chinese model

Huawei have become strict in unlocking so maybe not but Honor who is apart of Huawei did offer users of honour note 10 codes .

@duraaraa,
I haven't been around here much since back when we goofed around with the Mi Mix (recall I sent you one I got so you could work on it since you didn't have one). Anyways, really glad to see what you have done with FunkyHuawei and all - impressive you turned your hobby in to a business so congrats.
I am curious about buying the global from your site. I am very likely to pull the trigger for one of these soon, haven't had a Chinese phone since my Mi Mix and Mate 9 (sold the Mi Mix ultimately for being to rough around the edges in terms of software and the mid range camera but kept the Mate 9 and was pretty happy with it for a while with no real issues once setup properly). Can you give us a summary of the finer points you see as advantages to getting a global from FunkyHuawei verse just getting a Chinese version with Play store already installed?
P.S. Anyone looking for a great unlocked Note 9 with bunch of accessories and whatnot send me PM.

I think you might have mistaken me for someone else about the Mi Mix, but I did work on the Mi Mix 2. I've never actually seen a Mi Mix 1 in person
The Chinese version uses various Chinese services instead of Google Services, and some of those can't be changed. For example, for location services. For the default voice assistant. And so on.
I've heard that OK Google doesn't work on the Chinese version, while you can use it to unlock the phone on the international version, and so on.
I had thought that Chinese version wouldn't pass Safetynet, but I'm not sure. I've also heard that the Chinese version doesn't allow you to change the default launcher. The dual app feature supports whatsapp and facebook on the global version, but wechat and chinese apps on the Chinese version, and so on.
If you don't live in China, getting the global version will work out better for most people.

Certain google things can be installed on the Chinese model. But google is baked into the non-Chinese model. So things like OK Google (to wake up the phone), google assistant as default, Google used as location provider, and so on, will be available only on the international model.

As far as I know you can't unlock the bootloader or root these at present.
If 'Enable OEM Unlock' becomes select-able in developer options it would be possible.

Have not heard anything for the Mate 20 X. The Pro has the screen supplied by LG and BOE, and most of the green-color bleeding issues are from LG. The screen of Mate 20 X is supplied by Samsung.

Hi @duraaraa. I think I'm ok sticking with Chinese version. But was wondering, in the event I'd like to change it to L29, if progress has been made on rebranding. Do you think it will be possible in the coming months. Thanks!

Hey i was wonder if this is gonna work, so i have install OP7pro Camera app just to see result. and its working but not all ofcourse. Maybe its worth to port ? Oppo and oneplus is made by one factory ;P

I have also tried it but not so good as it has very limited options working when installed on Oppo Reno 10X Zoom.
Yes Oppo and OnePlus are of same parent i.e. BBK and may have the same level of hardware but the software development and other teams are different for both Companies. OnePlus is way mature is software development than the Oppo which is clearly visible in Oxygen OS and ColorOS

There are other mobiles with similar camera setup as Reno 10x, like the Huawei p30 pro or the Sumsung Ultra series, etc.
It would be good if the camera apps of those Huawei p30 pro etc can be ported for Reno 10x. This will give access to best features from different mobiles, especially for Telephoto lens.

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?

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

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.
