For a phone that costs around 20k in India, I find it weirdly amusing that it doesn't support Manual camera (according to the manual camera compatibility test app)
While, the android one, 1st gen (costing around 6.5k at the time of launch) has a manual camera support....
So, is it a hardware issue which doesn't support manual functions, or is it the issue with the OS.
If it's the issue with ZUI, do we expect future updates/custom modifiers to rectify it and have a manual camera support on the device?
The Android 7 build of Zuk 2 pro has a manual mode. I believe it should be out soon.
Zuk z2 plus, too
not working yet, ZUI 2.5, any advice?

My OEM Hong Kong Milestone 3 (ME863) just got a 28 MB OTA update today. System is now 2.3.6. No mention of what this update brings anywhere....... Kind of weird.
Anyway, looks slightly more smooth. Camera app slightly quicker... No idea of the improvements except that. Need more time to tell about the battery life and the bugs I had before (GPS bug).
If anyone has more info, please share.
So XT862 officially has oldest android
Not sure exactly how to do this, but could you check to see if the OTA has an unlocked bootloader? If it does that would mean some progress, if not, back to square 1!
GPS bugs? Elodie1, care to clarify what do you mean by the GPS bug?
I have the ME863 that the GPS fail to work at all. I cannot see a single satelite with the GPS Status app, even with AGPS turn on. What GPS bug are you experiencing?
Sometimes (not all the time), GPS would not work at all. It's turned on, but the logo does not appear when I launch Maps. And of course, my phone doesn't can't locate me correctly. Same thing with any app.
A simple reboot actually fix this... But it is quite annoying since it makes you waste several minutes.
But, if you're in HK and you think your problem is more a hardware problem, you should bring your phone to the Moto tech centre, they can usually fix it within one day if you bring it in the morning... and they lend you a phone of course.
I see, i guess my problem is different from yours then. Unfortunately I'm not in Hong Kong, I'm sending it back to the seller and hopefully he'll be able fix it or send it back to Hong Kong to fix it.
Don't know how fast it can be fixed though
I see. Anyway, I can now confirm this update does not fix this GPS bug (despite the fact it has been reported by several users on the Motorola forums since the very beginning).
I am happy that the system seems to be slightly more smooth. But I am astonished by how little Moto seems to care. E.g. what would it cost to add the same camera shortcut than on the Razr? Hello Moto! This is basically the very same lockscreen and system! So let's not talk about Smart Actions (but since they are one of the very few things that will differentiate D4 from D3, so let's not care about the D3 early adopters...)
Bought that new MS-3 yesterday and got that OTA update on my way back. Everything seems good even with the GPS navigation program. I can't find any problem so far. I traded in my HTC Sensation which is a total disappointment !
Say... ME863 owners, one thing that I found to be inconvenient, is that the Milestone3 can't do video call directly through 3G. It needs to be done through an app.
Have you all tried it?
I'm sure it's not an android limitation, because Samsung Galaxy S can video call without an App. Maybe Motorola don't think it's worth to support this function?
Can Anybody Please Provide Google Camera Port For Honor 10 lite Compatible

dead community here
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_Arnova_advanced_1.4.031419.0947.apk
i tried this one and it works but (portrait and night sight does not work) also its not good.. the default camera app have much better quality and everything so yeah its not working properly maybe because we didn't unlock bootloader and root our phone
Is it the same as this one https://www.xda-developers.com/down...-sight-honor-play-huawei-mate-10-mate-10-pro/ ? If it isn't, can anyone confirm if it works. I intend to buy Honor 10 Lite due to availability of NFC.
Just checked the stock camera app on my Honor 10 Lite, it supports Portrait mode.
No need for ports I guess...
Sorry it doesnt works on honor 10 lite
Is it just me or anyone else finds that their XZ3 is very unstable after Android 10 update?
It was already kind of slow although it was suppose to be quite good phone, but after Android 10 it is just annoyingly slow.
Can't have few apps running. For example, If I have firefox with youtube video playing and messenger active, it takes 5 seconds to switch between them. Reset didnt help much.
So the question is, is it just my phone or everyone noticed that it is slow now?
Problem Xperia XZ3
Have this phone myself. After the update to Android 10 many problems that you can find overall on the internet. Hopefully there will be a re-release for Android 10.
We need more information about the Android 10 update.
First of all, the XZ3 was participating in the Android 10 beta testing, so you'd have thought the official release of Android 10 would be less buggy than it might have been otherwise, as opposed to more.
Secondly, some people do not seen to be experiencing problems with the update. This always seems to happen with updates, especially major ones, and no solid reasons are ever found. because of the lack of details that users post when they have a problem.
I'm in the UK on O2, and XperiFirm shows that O2 have approved the update (and did so several weeks ago); but I can't get it, so presumably Sony have blocked it. I'm glad that they have, if there's a risk it could cripple my phone. What I woud like, however, is some information from Sony and Google/Android, stating the problems and if they're working on them or not. Sony specifically stated that the XZ3 will receive an Android 10 update, and then at least security-only updates for a while yet. Clearly something has got in the way of these definitively outlined plans, and I don't want to wait forever before someone either from Sony or O2 UK tells me why.
because of what I've said above, can people on here posting about the XZ3 Android 10 software update state their country and mobile provider please? When talking about software updates, either OTA or via cable, these details which don't take a second to mention are vital. Just the country won't do, and just the provider won't do.
As I have been trying to get answers from Sony support, though I`ll register just to share a message I got from them today:
"We have recieved a few reports regarding the issues that you are experiencing with your Xperia device.
We have escalated it further to our developers and they are currently investigating the issues.
We do unfortunately not have a set date for when or if there will be an update.
We thank you for your patience."
The "or if" part made me concerned...
But in the weekend I did completely reset my xz3 and so far have nothing to complain about - everything looks and works good (but I did the long road - didn`t use backup, but set everything from scratch (except Nova launcher settings).
Dont be. It hasn't even got a master update. We will probably get Android 11 as well since sony has a two year update policy.
Problem Xperia XZ3
I read this on internet but can not tell it is true.
Sony Xperia XZ2 & XZ3 Android 10 update re-released with the same software build version.
Sony started rolling out the stable Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ3 Android 10 update in early January 2020 following the release of the same OS to the newer Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 in late 2019.The update was released with software build version 52.1.A.0.532, tagging along all the goodness of Android 10 and a new security patch level to go with. But it wasn’t long after before annoying fingerprint and alarm bugs, among other bugs, started showing up on both Xperia XZ2 and XZ3 units that had just switched to the new OS.
While it’s sometimes usual for issues to pop up here and there after a major software update, this wasn’t the case after the Xperia XZ2 and XZ3 Android 10 update. As a result, Sony halted the rollout in order to fix the many issues in the initial firmware. Nearly three weeks later, the Japanese tech giant has now resumed rolling out the same update to the two series of devices. For some reason, though, the update is arriving with the same software build version 52.1.A.0.532 released last month, something that is causing confusion.
Despite keeping the same firmware version, we want to believe the re-released Xperia XZ2 and XZ3 Android 10 update has been patched and it’s now bug-free. But of course, we can only be sure after installing and actually using the updated firmware. Reports of people whose units have picked up the update are still scarce to come by, but a quick look at the Xpericheck website does confirm new firmware updates available for the Xperia XZ2, XZ2.
Yeah, all four devices are receiving their Android 10 updates with the same software version 52.1.A.0.532, but as usual with OTA updates, it may take some time before all units out there receive the download notification.
It is not a new version. It is the same buggy as hell one. When Sony fixes bugs, always changes the build number.
Problem Xperia XZ3
Today xperia update 52.1.A.0.618 arrived in the Netherlands
Fingerprint still not working correctly
For me the new update from 4th or 3rd of march wiped one app which I am not sure was it as I had 60 apps before update and now I see only 9.
nNyway they deleted or did something to ringtones bcs suddenly I can not find my beloved Eastern Sky ringtones in the stock ringtones folder.
Already did the clear cache/clear storage thingy for Medai Storage app but no the file is not in the phone anymore. I checked with total commander and was searching for the Eastern Sky ringtone but nothing at all.
So I have to download my beloved stock ringtone. WTF Sony ???
I hope now that they might have fixed the teething bugs with Android 10, O2 will deploy the update. Xperifirm tells/told me that they had approved the Android 10 update over a month ago, but obviously either Sony or O2 UK were holding it back, because I'm still on Android 9. I'm happy if that was because the update was defective, but I'm getting a little bit impatient now. It's easy for big companies to forget how much an individual has paid (for the phone and the contract) when it was over a year ago. I expect my XZ3 to be updated until December this year, when it will be two years old and I can have an upgrade/leave option.
Xperifirm tells me that O2 UK have approved the latest update, i.e. the second Android 10 version:
About 3 hours after I posted that, I got the update, OTA. Now I feel a bit silly.
I had this problem so I went through the settings and found a setting that had the mobile data running when connected to the WiFi so I turned that off and restarted my phone and its been running smoothly ever since.
After the latest updates 52.1.A.2.1 all bugs seems to be
fixed. no lag issues, fingerprint works good, HDR videos plays great. There is one issue with this device that battery drains fast.
Hi, I have been using the xiaomi.eu rom on my Mi 10 Ultra for quite a while, it works fine in most scenarios but when it comes to functionality that is important when using the phone for calls, photo AND as a tool at work..... I have got rather frustrated with important bugs that never gets fixed even if I report them.
Has I been unlucky or is this "normal" when using xiaomi? (previously I have been using Samsung and Huawei and then I have never had theese problems)
The reason for asking is that I WANT to buy a Mi 11 Ultra but if that means: Top hardware, excellent camera and a lot of issues when it comes to using the phone for work => Need to choose something else.
Examples of issues:
* If I try to share a file over "teams", the phone (falsely) suggests that I'm not loged into my work profile and ask me to log in to that profile. However it is not possible.
* In similar way, it is IMPOSSIBLE to change keyboard layout on a physical keyboard. I can go into the menu but the changes I make are ignored. I live in Sweden but I can see on the internet that people in France has the same problem. Bug reported long time ago but no fix and no response whatsoever.
So I was looking into a new phone I could buy new, had a headphone jack and telephoto lens, and maybe stereo speakers, and came across this phone.
I noticed that the Note 9 used to have lineage os support up until 17.1, and was wondering if there was any specific reason support was dropped? Is it hard to port 18.1 and 19.1 versions of LineageOS to the Note 9?
Some other questions I had about ROM'ing the note 9:
- Does performance degrade significantly when on ROMs?
- How is battery life?
- How's the camera, and is there a gcam apk that can use all the lenses?
- what features would I lose if ROM'd the device, and is their any ways to reinstall them or get mods (like thru magisk) to get them back?
- did the pen even work when it had LineageOS support? Is there apps/mods that can be installed to make it work?
For context, I'm coming from a Pixel 3a, and cross shopping with these:
- an A72 (4g), still 3 yrs of OEM software support
- Moto Edge 2020, LineageOS support, Plastic back and no IP rating to ruin so I don't feel bad about replacing the battery
- S10/+/5G, very good phone, just wouldn't feel to confident in replacing the battery
Any advice on how living with any of these phones ROM'd nowadays would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, @JayAbbhi,
I am currently using a N9 that has not be rooted, but has been heavily debloated via adb. I prefer to use it over a N20U.
I think LineageOS support for the N9 has ended, but you can ask in the LineageOS threads on the forum.
APNMirror has updated LineageOS application files for applications, such as Phone, etc...
I tried the LineageOS phone, contacts and messages apps on N9 and N20U.
GIF images cause the messaging app to crash on both phones.
Couldn't access one section of the phone (Version 23, Android 10) on the N9.
I don't access the internet (surf, chat, etc...), and mainly use FOSS apps with NetGuard.
N9 is a Beast!
edit: APKMirror, not APNMirror site...
