Hello Nex-Fans,
Vivo has announced the first OS update for our device which improves the overall, the game, camera and fingerprintscanner performance.
Source:
Gizchina
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.
https://www.androidauthority.com/vivo-nex-review-875140/
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)......

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
The P40 pro got in multiple scenarios the better camera, the S20+ in some others. I do hate the vibrant colors, but safety features like safetynet are useful especially with some banking apps. Also widevine l3 is used. Does anyone know or it can run Netflix in fullhd with a widevine L1 patch? If this is the case we might also be able to patch Disney plus.
The widevine and safety are things stopping me from buying the P40 pro. Chromecast is handy, but I can live without it.
S20+ 5G arriving tomorrow so I'll think over it or I should return it or not. For normal situaties without harsh lightning the S20+ would be an okay camera, and as far as I know it would probably be better than the P30 pro.
Really only you can decide this.

you should just ask yourself if which is important for you if camera then p40 pro
if you heavily rely on google services and you dont have plans on finding alternative apps for it ''see the guide section on my comprehensive list of alternatives for google apps" then go for s20+ but if your only option is exynos then you may regret it because impossible you havent heard how bad exynos is on s20 compared to SD
netflix latest apk works currently but hd? it needs a subscription so you can use so havent heard any news who tried it. about banking apps you will need to ask an owner of p40 pro who resides on the same country you are like for example me on middle east all our banks is supported already here. disney+ no idea yet

Does anyone make phone calls? I gues not much
Still I have testet P40 Pro and S20+. I have to say P40 Pro is a way superior here. And I do not speak super condition. I often drive in unpopulated area, bad coverage.... P40 Pro is a clear winner here.

Do you mean bad coverage for the S20+ and not for the P40 Pro? I've also seen dual band GPS on the spec sheet. The hardware sounds very interesting. How about the battery life difference? My S20+ still has to get used to my usage to be optimized, but for now I only have like 4 hours SoT. This is pretty bad compared to my previous phone the LG G7 ThinQ. It's almost the same actually. Any more experiences comparing the 2 devices? I sadly couldn't get the 2 devices at the same time to compare them myself.:crying:
For the price itself I'm still comparing the phones to other devices like the P30 Pro since except for the colors and the better night recording and the 90Hz there isn't much of a difference. Probably slightly better mic and speakers. But or the difference is worth around 500 euro's more is debatable. If the bootloader could be unlocked it would've been an easier choice.
whosetheboss in youtube already made a battery comparison between the flagship currently in the market including p40,oneplus8,s20ltra,11promax do take note the s20 there is snapdragon, your sot could be bad because you have exynos, if you do have exynos just upgrade to another phone your just getting scammed by samsung.
Someone managed to run Arcore on the MiNote10 and/or MiNote10 Pro?
On my CubotX19 i get it installed with Xposed, but every app crashes or doesn't really work.
I'm searching for a new awesome camera smartphone with a fair price and ArCore ist one of my decision Points.

All the news this week is referring to a Snapdragon 888 and 8Gb ram P12 Pro. Do we think the 870 2021 Xiaoxin will ever receive an International ROM?
I've got one in the mail and thinking I may have made a big mistake. Its main use will be netflix and Disney+ and I wanting to take advantage of Dolby Vision.
Can't say for sure about Disney+, but I have no issue playing Netflix Videos on Full HD downloaded from Play Store.
In case you're wondering, I installed Play Store with an APK downloaded from APK Mirror and it seems to work out of the box.
The only thing i didn't like about the tablet is it disables notification for each app by default and set battery optimization option on by default on newly installed app which could affect some things like notifications. Other than that, this tablet is a satisfying multimedia powerhouse
Edit: Also i set Dolby option to "Movie" and it sounds wonderful.
Well this is promising. Is yours the 2021 version? Did you update any software and just use out of the box?
Does it have widevine 1? I've seen reports of it dropping back to 3?
I guess you have to have the ultra subscription (which you may not have) but did you notice if Netflix offers Dolby Vision?
I'll be steaming most my content via plex so as long as that works well I guess it won't be a total loss if Disney+ and Prime aren't in FHD HDR.
I have Plex, Tubi, Locast, Peacock and Kodi on mine and no issues with any of them. This is the best tablet I have ever owned. Even Starmaker (Karaoke app) works well with Bluetooth headset.
Great news. Mine arrives next week I'll report back.
Looking forward on catching up on some of the latest series from the comfort of my bed!!
Also going to give moonlight a go to try and game stream my pc from downstairs.
I've got mesh WiFi-6 so hopefully it'll work well.
Hi!!!
i have an issue. i got on a spending spree and ordered the tablet. first of all it is not as bright as i expected and i paid lot for it (due to VAT) i have GOOGLE PLAY
but here is my problem?
how to check for HDR?
NETFLIX doesn't support HDR for this tablet (only for p11 pro...)
should i get prime video?
do you have HDR?
If you updated via the update when you first boot you've lost widevine 1. Download DRM off the play store and it'll tell you your current level (it's 1 out of the box).
Out the box the tablet does FHD on Netflix with no HDR as you say. Prime video is SD and a waste of time.
Just got to hope for an international ROM or else you've got a great tablet which is limited by its software.
I'm doing everything via plex and its working well.

I'm sort of in the same boat. If you're just using it for media the P11 Pro has the better software.
However if we get a proper international release and firmware it'll be worth it still.
The P12 Pro talk at the moment referees to a Snapdragon 888 processor so I'm not holding my breath.
I'm lucky really despite having amazon prime, disney+ and Netflix subs I'm having to torrent the Dolby Vision versions of the stuff I want to watch to my plex. It's a ball ache having to do it, but at least I've not wasted my money.

I must have got lucky as I didn't have to pay any import charges so it cost me £350 delivered which is a very good price for the hardware.
Shame there's not a bigger scene on here supporting custom roms etc.

Where did you get it from? Mine was from Giztop but I paid for express shipping.
I also bought mine from Giztop, £435 delivered, including the keyboard case.. pretty good deal if you ask me.
Havent updated base firmware to avoid losing the widevine L1 as everyone is referencing.. but am also hoping we eventually get a global rom for it.
I've done more digging on this. I've updated and still have widevine level 1.
Pretty happy with it overall. One stuck pixel though
If an international rom doesn't come out I'm possibly going to pick up an S7+ second hand when their new one launches.
so you could order this with international rom?

Yeah that's the 2020 version. We're talking about the 2021 version which does not have an international version.
Hi All,
I am currently an owner of a Xiaoxin Pad Pro 11 (2021). I'm happy with the performance but not the screen. I thought I would take the gamble and go for a Xioxin 12.6 as it has a newer AMOLED screen vs the 90hz OLED on my current one. The near black crush is terrible and I really do use it for quite a lot of media consumption.
Anyways. To the main point of the thread. The P12 pro is already listed on Lenovo UK site with 6gb RAM 128 SSD. The Xiaoxin is 8GB 250GB.
When I flash the international firmware from Rescue and Smart Assistant it is already listing a P12 Pro TB0Q706F with two HW Codes 16 or 19. Any clue which I would flash? I'm guessing the higher one is more likely the 8GB ram version?
Also the P12 pro is already listed on the netflix compatibility site for Dolby Vision. Once I flash the international version should Netflix see my tablet as a P12 Pro vs a Xiaoxin?
I know it's very early days but i'm hoping people can apply knowledge from earlier Lenovo tablets here.
Hi!
I also placed an order for this one, expecting it any day now. Exciting! To your question about HDR and DOLBY VISION on Netflix etc, I don't think there is much hope for that since it will probably still be the "prc" version after flashing the ROW ROM. But you never know!

My Xiaoxin Pad 12.6 arrives in the next day or 2 as well. Hoping the newer Samsung AMOLED doesn't suffer from blurry text as the OLED on the 11.
Did you flash the global rom to your Pro 11 and have use of Netflix in HD? Or did that have netflix hd capability out of the box?

I've not received it yet. However my current tablet works with play store and you can download netflix no issue. Fingers crossed it will flash to a version netflix recognises for Dolby Vision.

From what I have read they never solved that, didn't get the same Build Fingerprint on the Xiaoxin as the P11 Pro, showed up in DRM Info as tb-j706f_prc instead of tb-j706f. Unfortunately I read all that AFTTER I placed the order on the 12.6, having no experience with Lenovo tablets from before. So I think there is very little hope for Netflix Dolby vision but it will still be a very pleasant tablet I assume.
OK same boat.
I'm not sure if the 2020 Xiaoxin has access to the play store etc out the box but the 2021 does. I can even download Netflix/Disney+ direct from the Google store now. Perhaps there's a change in stance.
All we can do at this point is keep our fingers crossed and hope what ever the 12.6 changes to when flashed to a P12 is recognised by Netflix.

The Xiaoxin Pad Pro 11 is an absolute beast from a hardware perspective. If you can use plex etc you really won't miss netflix all that much. Don't get me wrong it's a bummer having to torrent programs I already pay for a sub for but it's not the end of the world.
As long as the P12 Pro had a screen that handles near black better it'll be a fantastic tablet.
@mardon85
My Xiaoxin 12.6 arrived today. Widevine L1 certified, Netflix is working in full HD and HDR 10 and dolby vision is supported. I had to sideload netflix, it doesn't appear in the play store. Also I had an OTA update which didn't affect these results.
That's great news! So Netflix with Dolby Vision out of the box with ZUI 13? Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning

Yup. Play store was preinstalled, probably by Giztop? AMOLED is amazing, 120hz by default and text is sharp. Good improvements over the previous models.

I can also verify Netflix HDR + Dolby Vision in FHD. On HBO Max I can play Dune in 4K Dolby Vision but everything else is only FHD, weird? Amazon Prime: FHD, Dinsey Plus: FHD.
I agree that the screen is really great. 4K HDR content on Youtube looks as good as on my LG CX OLED TV.
I also had to sideload Netflix, and Play Store was installed, the plastic wrapping had been removed from the box. But I see why they do that, it's a little frustrating downloading Play Store from the native App Store app with everything in Chineese (Which I did after a factary reset).
I can verify that there is no GPS, I think it's only for the 5G models. In DRM Info it shows up as TB-Q706F-PRC in the Build Fingerprint as expected. Everything seems to be working fine so far. The only bug I've seen so far is that drop-down menys in Chrome is not working.
So who will be first to flash the ROW ROM? I don't have much experience there so I would prefer to let someone else give it a go first.
Oh and wifi 5GHz is limited to some specific channels, I had to reconfigure my router.

I can verify that there is no GPS, I think it's only for the 5G models. In DRM Info it shows up as TB-Q706F-PRC in the Build Fingerprint as expected. Everything seems to be working fine so far. The only bug I've seen so far is that drop-down menys in Chrome is not working.
So who will be first to flash the ROW ROM? I don't have much experience there so I would prefer to let someone else give it a go first.
Oh and wifi 5GHz is limited to some specific channels, I had to reconfigure my router.

Thanks for this. My router is already sorted.
I think I'll do the international Rom straight away.

No, its my first Lenovo tab.
I'll follow this thread to see what results guys get with the international rom.
Someone's uploaded a first impressions video :
So... got too tempted and could not wait so I tried to flash it, the flashing process seems to go fine but the tablet tells me after that it's corrupt and then later it's stuck in the "Fastboot mode meny" (I don't know whats it is called but you know what I mean), cant to anything from there it just restart and go back there.
Any ideas?

Q: How can I share the entire logfile?
What process did you try via the Lenovo Recovery software or the 3rd Party App where you have to install the qualcom USB drivers first as used on other posts here?

So... I'm new to this. I tried first with the Lenovo Recovery tool, it flashed without problems but got stuck in fastboot. Then I tried Qfil where I also get a "Success", but corrupt device and stuck in Fastboot. Tried Qfil many times with some different settings.
I upgraded ZUI before all this, so the ROW firmware was older than what I had on the tablet, if that matters.
Tbh it sounds like you've tried everything I would have unfortunately.
There's a bloke at this link who explains the process quite clearly. Maybe it'll help?
China Tablets to recommend
it also took me a few tries to get it. so afraid of bricking it. Totally right... sigh... but now Vanced YouTube isn't working for me... can install but cannot connect to my Google account... EDIT: Found a solution on Reddit - disable Chrome under Apps & Permission, then log in to Google...

Seems odd both methods fail. Does the lenovo route download from their server or ask you to provide a rom?
