Hello Nex-Fans,
Vivo has announced the first OS update for our device which improves the overall, the game, camera and fingerprintscanner performance.

Thanks! I suppose we will get that automatically (when checked in update settings), but thanks anyway for notifying it here.
Despiter updates(there's even newer update than those at first page) the underscreen display scanner remain problematic according to fresh reviews from android authority.

Hopping retail unit perfom better.
Saw many reviews and tests on YouTube and nobody has mentioned such problems with the Fingerprintscanner. I think this will be a "Pre-Release-Device" problem.

Damn that's a really scathing review especially re. the software and OS. Makes me kind of disinterested tbh, because the UX sounds like a ****ing hassle
I'm not so negative ... In my opinion it's a very early stage of the device and i think some points are related to the Pre-Release-Device he has. On the software side i think it's only a question of time until there are some other options.
I have a Zuk Z2 Pro and know what i'm talking about. The ZUI interface was only crap but now it's running AOSP Android 8.1 and i'm really really happy with the device. It's better then my S8 was.
Yes but the kicker is as always, does the bootloader get unlocked... I don't know about Vivo and their practices on this.
I actually received my second update on my Nex already... and while the fingerprint reader can be finicky it has worked well (one thing that helped was adding both thumbs 2times)

I got the update a day or two ago as well.....
Any idea (translation) of what it actually encompassed?
only thing i have noticed a improvement on is the Fingerprint reader(seems much more consistent) , the camera seems to focus better and give slightly better results. Also the three bars at the bottom of the home screen are at the absolute bottom now and much wider.

THX!....
After you posted this,I decided to take a look in the Settings > System Update & found the update notes in English (probably translated to whatever default language you choose) & pretty much line-up with your observations/usage:
The notes may have been available in the previous updates,but,I didn't notice the little arrow to click on to read the notes (probably there all along)......

haha yeah the arrow has been there to check the changelog but the improvements they claim are actually noticable to me at least ?
FunTouch OS is the only thing that's keeping me from buying this phone... Any thoughts on the overall phone functionality from people that have it? I currently own a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and love it except for the selfie camera being on the bottom of my screen. My main thing would be to be able to get the Play Store and use Bluetooth with my car audio system... Any thoughts appreciated ?

I might be having one serious BLONDE MOMENT :laugh: ,but,I can't seem to find how to make the YouTube app play by default,from links in email/texts/etc.....
Again,it could just be me,the settings on this phone are convoluted,makes Huawei & Xiaomi look clean & simple by comparison.......
So,in the meantime,I'm using this default picker app to help out:

I go back and forth seemingly daily. I lust for the hardware, it is to me the next step on the path to OLED in-display cameras, but that bizarre Android iOS clone nonsense they have going on is pushing me away. Funtouch sounds like a waking nightmare.
I currently have a Mi Mix 2, and already the rumor mill is in full swing re. the Mix 3. Google Mi Mix 3 and check out some early leaks, they are rumored to follow the Nex style. Admitted MIUI is not all that great either, but at least Xiaomi is a bit more dev friendly on releasing the kernels etc. And sorry for the hijack
Hey everyone.. why there is no update on gcam in Honor 8x device.. as every Mobile supporting gcam why not in Honor???

Did you tried doing factory default settings
There are many shared but one or the other function in GCAM not working on our phones.
I think no XDA Developer is interested to develop or porting GCam for Honor Devices.
All people love only Snapdragon or Exynos or MediaTek..
Nobody interested in Kirin..
Even check reviews on YouTube all reviewers hate and criticize Honor Devices...
I think why I purchased Honor 8x?
Though it's stock camera is good in day light.
Front camera edge detection is poor.
And low light is bad ass.
I don't know what...
But given link camera works on Honor 8x..
Only one issue
Portrait mode not working.

hi , is there any Gcam mod for Honor 8 Lite that can record in 60fps?
Gcam on Honor 8x and Huawei Y9 2019
I have found these two gcam apps. I am not taking any credit what so ever.
Just sharing it.
Both works for me on Y9 2019.
Dont need any extra setting. Just aim and shoot.

Just got the OTA notification for my Amazon Prime X4 last night, seems its starting to roll out to other Prime owners, but there is a good a post on r/motoX4 regarding all the lack of features not included in the Prime Pie update. I was ready to go but with the first GCam apk I installed that is w0rking perfectly (at least for me) I am kinda hesitant to install the update. i just got my Moto x4 Prime when it went on sale this holiday season $179, and its been smooth and a joy with Oreo 8.1.0. Now I have been waiting to use this phone as my daily driver, but I am experimenting with some new and upcoming MVNOs (Unreal Mobile and Mint Mobile). If u wanna check out this guys pretty straight forward review and complaint list of Pie update for Prime models here
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX4/comments/ag4sq2/several_marquee_features_are_missing_from_the_pie/
Pie update fixed gcam night sight view for me, now I can see on screen what I'm taking pictures of.
Hi
I just got a OP7P and am wondering if there is a GCam which works on it please?
Thanks you.
Yes.
They say to use the port of the Xiaomi Mi 9. There is a youtube video about it. I'm good with the camera as they have improved it quite a bit since it came out.
Are you kidding us?
The Arnovo last version works ok.
