Have a nice day google

I just bought iPhone 5s and sell my nexus 5 because of google, new lollipop is one big crap, nothing works like should, we got new camera apis but its 2 months after lollipop release and we still dont have new camera. This is a joke !! LTE nexus 7 even doesn't get lollipop ! Shame on you crappy google. Of course I hate ios design but there everything works like should work, no memory problems no battery drains I don't have to reboot my phone every day to work with my phone.

Okay?

Haha brightened my day and made me laugh OP and I wish the best for you

You're entitled to your opinions but this isn't best the place for them.

I'm fairly certain that she is just fishing for attention. Quite pathetic.

My I ask you, how you know, that she is a girl?
Btw, like your avatar. Hieronymus Bosch, right?

I partly agree with the op google really needs to get its act together on lollipop after promising us the world I don't think it has delivered. That isn't even the biggest issue because a big update like lollipop was bound to have some troubles. But it has been now two months and we haven't got any fixes for the major problems reported and some of them were in the developer preview. Google needs to get the lollipop updates out asap. However I am not willing to dump android over this. I bought a nexus device and expected this.

A boy would have a username wid a girl suffix ?

Yes it is, he's quite the talented artist.. And as our fellow Androidian has mentioned (and beat me to it lol) there is "girl" in the username.

Good luck with iOS 8 is as much beta as Android 5 if not even worst ... They are not going to be "good" until they have been 3-4 month old and mature.

Have fun with dem restrictions

yeeeeeeeee one more crazy NOOB left out from our great Android. and atleast 100 stupid Question&thread saved on XDA.
I appreciate this effort.
BTW don't cry next year (Oh..i mean this year...forgotten again that it's already 2015 ) when your 5s gets laggy & crappy iOS 9 update as the case with iphone 4s user today and also they won't even fix it bcz on their newer devices it runs well so enjoy your journey

We wish you all the best with your new phone.

[Q] Any issues with Chinese version?

I am thinking of ordering the enhanced 64GB model from a Chinese seller (ebay or aliexpress). This would be the Chinese model. The sellers state that before shipping they install a multi-language ROM and Google Play, and that it will work no problem on my network (Canada).
Does anyone have experience with ordering such a phone? I have looked at the relevant threads on the forums of other Huawei phones and there seems to sometimes be problems with notifications and Chinese bloatware. I am also unclear whether I can expect to receive future OTA updates?

AFAIK at the moment a P9 Chinese version distribution has not yet been announced... and for the P9 the official availability is tomorrow 16th April.
The P9/P9 Plus presentation has been initially dedicated only to the European market, also prices where indicated in Euro, even if that event was held in London...

all I can say is, even with the Chinese ROM, you can get all the google stuff without issues, with the exception being Now on Tap because the Home button is mapped to Huawei's own voice assistant.
i did have some issues with notifs on the Mate 8 but its since received at least 3 updates. My P9 is too new for me to notice any issues

re: bloatware, it's possible to remove up to 90% of that stuff through "HiApp" - huawei's replacement for google playstore ( which is also where you download all the google stuff)

That's great - thanks. My P9 is currently on its way so that's reassuring. I am not bothered about Now on Tap.
Presumably HiApp is in Chinese itself? Is it challenging to navigate around it?

it isn't in Chinese.. Once you've chosen English in your first setup step, all system apps show up in English. with the exception of bloatware. I believe there's a guide here on xda some place teaching folks how to download all the google stuff too. basically you'll need google play obviously, google contacts sync and google calendar sync. these are the basics you need to grab off HiApp. Then you can start using Google Playstore as normal to setup account etc
permissions are important as they are very strict and sometimes restrict first, and never ask later. be sure to check there often. Enjoy!

Just Got Mine Yesterday!
My P9 from a shop on aliexpress just came yesterday... and oh yes, it is pretty awesome! Going to use it a couple days and plan on doing a extensive comparison review to my LG G5 in my series of review called "Some Guy's Review..." I did one comparing LG G5 to the S7 Edge and people seemed to appreciate it... I have no brand loyalty so it a pretty honest review IMO
I try to sum up the general user / pro-user experience... what most people run into and care about.... plus stuff I always look for that are my "musts" for things I do in my daily life...
Not getting deeply into it, here's a quick 12-hour impression:
1. Design - It's a pretty phone, I got mine in Gold because the 64GB / 4GB only comes in Gold in China (EVA-AL10 Version is Chinese Version of EVA-L29 International Dual SIM). Let's say a Sony Xperia Z5 and an Iphone had a wild sexual encounter.... the result is a Huawei P9 (Basically an all metal Z5)
2. Snappiness - This phone rocks... didn't slow down even during setup... have yet to notice it heat up either! Have to put it through my grueling non-scientific testing of playing Clash Royale... hahaha. Really though, I won't do a AnTuTu or anything like that because those tests are pretty much meaningless to real world experience usage. Hope to have more later
3. Camera - have yet to take a "real" picture with it... tried it out, seems to have a lot of custom settings and a really good "pro" mode. more to come
4. Battery - seems spot on to all recent Huawei Phones, big, long lasting (that's what she said.... :silly: :good
5. EMUI - I am actually a fan of EMUI... especially with another launcher laid over (I use a HTC Sense Launcher Port). The amount of customization may annoy the regular user... but coming from having a Huawei Mate 8, I understand what you need to do to get everything working like you like. I will give more details later if it suffers from the "sleeping sickness" as I call it... this is where due to all the great battery customizations Huawei throws in, certain app notifications stop working after awhile because the app goes into hibernation and never comes out... time will only tell.
Look for a review probably Monday or Tuesday! I may even do a 3-way just for fun....!!! :good: :highfive: (3-way review... get your mind out of the gutter... hahaha)

I received my eva-dl00 yesterday. (Chinese Dual-Sim 32GB) from Ibuygou.com
Everythings seems to be ok, but Contact Syncing is not working. Any hint?
First impression: Nice phone, very solid quality! But coming from Vanilla....i don´t like EMUI.
Maybe i have to get used to it.
But the P9 with Stock Android would be awesome!

How are u finding notifications inflow? They come on time or with delays?? IMs like Whatsapp Telegram etc giving instant notification even when phone sleeps for 30 plus mins?

Seems to be ok. But it is only a first impression. Could be wrong.

Has anyone from Europe tried if the dual sim works for Chinese version ?

I just got mine today. EVA-AL10. Beautiful phone. Works with cricket no problem... i was trying it out with my verizon sim didnt work. Seems to work well, but some of the stuff are in chinese like browser. Slowly removing the bloat and adding other software to it.

what did everyone end up doing when they first receive the phone? I factory reset it and downloaded google play store from hi app. I needed contacts sync and calendar sync so i downloaded from apk mirror. I downloaded gmail and everything. Its been a while since i came back from droid. I was with apple for a while. Last droid I had was a htc evo. Can't seem to get my contacts on this phone.

over all rating. will you recommend it to someone?

Hi
How will you rate oneplus3 at ? 1-10
Do mention the reasons ..
I m using oneplus1 and confused if I should buy it or not?

I have it since Saturday. I'd recommend it to anyone who's in the market for a new phone for whatever reason they might have. For me, it offers the best overall package in the Android world right now. If you don't mind ugly OEM skins (I do), you could probably go with the S7 line or if you don't mind spending more cash, then the HTC10.

never settle. I've got it. yeah. once I got I download the oxygen rom from forum immediately.. cool !!!

I always planned on get op3,but as my contract was up I got a HTC 10, very nice phone but didn't strike me as much of an upgrade on my two year old xeperia Z2. Got my op3 yesterday and is given me more of a buzz than the HTC, which is on ebay.
Personally I'd recommend it wholeheartedly, the only thing missing for me is SD support, and with Google breaking that in mm, I don't really see that as an issue anymore.
A solid 9/10 from me.

Absolutely. For the money, it's a great feeling, solid phone that really flows. If you want to spend a lot, the yea, buy a Samsung or an HTC. For near stock strong contender with excellent customisation ability, get OP3 - 9/10 (not perfect because of the memory issue and no SD slot)

I agree... but the RAM should be optimized further in future Oxygen builds? In my experience, the SD card has created issues when it becomes corrupt... and it won't be as fast as reading from internal memory (good rebuttal from OP). It would be easy to say they should have offered a 128GB model but I know they wanted to keep costs down as much as possible. I've found with the previous OP devices that 64GB is just enough for my requirements
One issue I have is it was great they made all the Kernel sources available... but not the Dash Charge?? wtf lol
Mine is still in the mail so I can't officially recommend it but based on all the reviews I've read so far it's very promising :highfive:

Proximity ambient display prob. and camera performance
How u guys are finding the proximity display hand waving waving feature in your OP3 ..in my case im finding not so smooth...means I have to wave my hand very closely to the device screen to lit it... is it the same with u guys or just waving hand over frm a distance is doing the thng for u..kindly reply and also give solutions on how can I improve on the same.
Camera performace I guess is pretty gud in OP3 ..ya focusing closer objects is an issue...(it takes some time) but i guess thts just a software glitch...which can be corrected via updates....rest the phone till now hasnt disappointed

without a doubt id recommend this thing to anyone. its even got dev support before most people have it in hand. thats about on par with the nexus phones.

Guys!! I'm totally blown away in the first hour here!!!! Amazing amazing! Not one single complaint... See screenshots and photos.. The device is completely bone stock. Just totally amazed so far. I was prepared to be extremely critical seeing how I'm a diehard HTC and Nexus fan but... But... well, the proof is in the photos lol. https://goo.gl/photos/RgwFUT3Rwhyt6XJL6

I've had it for two days. Pretty impressive. Nothing bad that I can think of. I give it solid 10 for it meets all my expectations.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Maybe a 7/10. The hardware is great for $400, but the stock software has weird bugs, like camera photos coming out green unless I use raw, and I've heard the customer service is a nightmare if you have to deal with them. At least the developer support is booming so far. CM and PA save the day again.

Yes sir! I've had almost every Android device on the market since I don't know when and this device has impressed me more than anyone I've had yet.. nothing about it that's wrong!! The camera is simply amazing, screen is great, size is perfect, feels great in the hand!!! And I'm comparing it with the 6p and HTC 10 both of which were/are my daily drivers! Time will tell on battery life and stability but so far I haven't found a single bug.

Only 2GB of RAM in Nexus 5? No problem! (great memory management)

In 2016 2GB of RAM in smartphones is nothing special, it's a minimum to get Android working good. Flagships have 4GB of RAM, OnePlus 3 even more. But... I'm so impressed how my Nexus 5 can handle apps running in background. I've been always satisfied with overall speed and memory management and now I can see it even more. Today I've made a completely clean flash with DARK ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-dark-rom-t3368248 and I opened couple of my apps.
So I ran:
MAPS.ME
Chrome Dev with 1 website opened
Instagram
Twitter
Facebook Messenger
Play Store
Phone app
Youtube
Spotify
Weather Timeline
WhatsApp
Tapatalk
QuickPic v4.5.2
Settings app
After open of each app, of course, I tapped home button, not back button. I did not only open each app but I did navigate a little, for example in Youtube I ran a video and THEN I tapped home button. So every app was running 100%. And guess what... EVERY app stayed in memory, when I relaunched every app, I haven't any reload, every app was working exactly as after first run. And everything was 100% smooth and fast. I wash I had a good camera to record a video, but I will try to capture it in few days. But why would I lie? [emoji14] Every Nexus 5 user should believe me, I guess. Of course, probably custom ROM and kernel make a difference in compare to stock ROM. Also, each ROM can work better or worse. So what's your experience when it comes to memory management in our 3 YEARS OLD device? (sorry for my not perfect English)

The post is really good in my opinion im pretty sure it really depends on the ROM and not on every ROM that will work for example the CM13 was alot faster than dirty unicorns ( Im currently running ) but i really like the rom its just all about modding ( i enabled the gesture the omni switch and there is alot more ) [the phone is fully loaded in tasks but still abale to be really good phone without any freezes or lags

Hi im not sure why you bought the phone but i can recommend you a few thinks just to know
-Elemental X is a great kernel
works With CM DU and Stock (not caf)
____MODS______
there is a stereo mod for nexus ( you are going to use your phone call speaker as a normal one )
Extra smoth mod really good mod but it includes new video driver so beware you doesnt have to worry about installing it
Nexus Volume booster there is an app at the play store wich creates a custom zips for this and it actually working !
PHYSICAL MOD I CANT REALLY RECOMMEND YOU DOING THIS AND I NOT GIVING ANY WARRANTY i just took apart my phone (its not that simple be really of the battery don't bend it if you are trying to get it out ( recommend you not doing this ) when you removing the battery connector DON'T bend it too much or it may break OK and be really gentle with the antennas so what are you have to do it sound really simple just apply thermal paste ( it helped me alot for some reason my phone was really Thermal Throttling all the time ) take the primary mobo out you doesnt have to take out the little board above the primary one dont forget to disconnect the camera )
( there is a really good root toolkit it includes back ups lock and unlocks of the boot loader custom recoveries in other words all the good stuff just search in google "nexus root toolkit")
hear is a few tips from experienced nexus 5 user

This makes me so proud to be an owner of a such beautiful device. I see people selling it on second hand sites for almost nothing, I actually thing of grabbing another one, or two.
And recently Im more into trying to get my old phones work good(nexus 4 - cm 12.1 - works like a breeze, galaxy sIII MINI - cm 12.1 unofficial - very impressed about how I got it to work, galaxy s plus - gingerRevenge - still works quite good with lighter tasks. And I bet there are a lot more older phones that still works good today.
I tell u. People dont know how to apreciate good tehnology. Also I hate this marketing making u buy a new phone every year.

The post is really good in my opinion im pretty sure it really depends on the ROM and not on every ROM that will work for example the CM13 was alot faster than dirty unicorns ( Im currently running ) but i really like the rom its just all about modding ( i enabled the gesture the omni switch and there is alot more ) [the phone is fully loaded in tasks but still abale to be really good phone without any freezes or lags

Where can I find this extra smooth mode?
What is your CPUs temperatures with thermal paste on?

Lol guys why the hate? This thread made me appreciate my N5 a bit more, and saved my wallet.

Post your questions for XZ3 owners here.

I got the XZ3 on launch day and I'm pretty confortable with my technical knowledge. If you guys have any questions or requests (such as running commands and dumps), please post them here. I'll probably edit this post with a mini-review if I have the time this week.

Any idea how to bring back double-tap on the XZ3?? Sony removed it since the Xperia X, but I'm wondering if there's a way to bring it back or if you've heard/read anything to indicate they might bring it back??
Thanks!

Does anybody know why Sony phones don't support the Google Camera ports? I checked on my XZ3 that camera api2 is supported fully! What is it holding back? No devs doing it or a Sony specific restriction?
With gcam support this XZ3 would be the perfect pixel 3xl alternative without notch!

Simply activate the always on screen. Then you can use double-tap to wake.

Gcam needs Raw support that's why HDR+ doesn't work on Xperias

Ok thanks!
Just wish they had double-tap to sleep again too. Not sure why they would remove that?

Hello,
I have several questions for xz3 users
- what about SOT? why no one completes that forum section?
- when you activate stamina mode, does it turns off all vibrations? (including ringing/notification vibrations?) - that is how stamina acts at my old Z2,
- a user in sonytalk forum, mentions soemthing like a gap between screen and body. can someone install a pressure app to see if there is a gap for real?
thank you

- The SOT is worse for me than the XZ Premium and Pixel 2 XL which I've have for several months. I'll get back to you with some numbers on monday if they matter that much to you.
- Stamina mode now has 3 modes, 4 if you count ultra stamina. They indeed, turn off vibrations, but I haven't checked all of them.
- Yes there is a gap between the metal frame and the glass panels, both on the front and the back. I suppose this is done to provide impact absorption when you drop the phone. Look for HTC U11 drop tests if you need to know why these things exist. That phone is perfectly smooth, has no ridges, but also cracks very easily.

Hi Geo,
I returned my XZ3 due mostly to the camera being a step-down from the XZ2 P. Didn't play around with the phone as much as I should have, but ok I'm glad to hear that Stamina Mode still lets you configure how it saves the battery. Not every phone does that I think.
Battery life seemed really good though I didn't get to test it all that much.

SOT: With ambient display set to always on: 3 hours
With ambient display set to smart activation: 5 hours
With ambient display set to off: 6.5-7 hours.
^above tests with wifi on all the time, with about 30 minutes LTE usage
Gap: Gap is present, but still water resistant. Phone fell into the tub while I was giving my dog a bath (I was talking on the phone with my mom).

Sorry, I've misread previous post, nvm

Has anyone tried this phone on Verizon yet? I know they say it won't work, but if it has the right LTE bands it just might.

I own a xz3 for a week now and i'm having some problem with lagging on homescreen with nova and stock launcher... Anybody else experienced this... When i restart phone it's normal lag free again?

If it doesn't go away soon I'd run Sony Companion on it. Just download it to your PC then connect phone to PC when it says to and do a system repair or whatever.

No i think this is pie related.. Nobody have this issue?

I am experiencing no lag but I'm on stock launcher, no Nova. I also disabled a bunch of apps (Facebook, all Google apps except maps and YouTube) and Netflix. H9493 which has 6GB RAM.

Just bought the OnePlus 6T from T-Mobile. Gonna throw the GCam mod available here on XDA onto it too once I get it. OP seems to be more on the color accurate side than the likes of Samsung, Apple, etc. Maybe Huawei too. Getting $300 off ($580 is total price) for trading in my V30, so not bad! lol Plus the software is fantastic (like Sony) and their charger (Dash charger) is simply the best, and I can CONFIRM first-hand that it definitely outdoes Quick Charge 3.0. But let me allow the lady to explain it better. lol
I could've got something like the P20 Pro, Note 9, or Pixel (all of which have T-Mo Volte btw, unlike the XZ2 P ((F U SONY!! lol))), but I felt like there's a strong chance I'm gonna upgrade again next spring cuz we got the XZ3 Premium, S10+, OP7, and P30 Pro coming out around then. So why get something overly expensive? lol All are expected to be incredible phones. But we know which one I'M hoping to have (if it doesn't P me off like the XZ3 did that is lol)!

Enjoy, see you on the Premium forum in the spring

Play hard, go Plus
Has anybody received 1 year of playstation+ within the lounge app. I bought the phone on day one and i'm still waiting.
At least here in Germany they advertised one year of free ps+ membership for ealry adopters.

Anyone else get this issue where if you restart the phone, the "last full charge" in the battery > settings menu says something like 30+ days ago? @madphone @augie7107

Mine currently says three hours ago which is accurate. After restart is shows "0 minutes ago".
