Hi guys,
just a small question from someone who is not modding his device every day
I have a P9 EVA-L09C69, so a mexican device with a Telcel branding. As everything with Telcel it will take ages or probably never happen that they release the update to Android 7/EMUI5.
In general I´m fine with that, the only issue is that Android Auto is not working with the official built (as Huawei seems to have messed up with some video drivers....).
This feature is quite important for me, so I would be willing to update the phone to some version where it´s working.
I need this phone every day, so the only thing I´m really looking for is a verion where everythign works as it should, bluetooth, camera and so on. Only some ROM where somebody verified that Android Auto is not showing "not supported on this device" would be nice.
Anybody uses this and could recommend me a version and how to get there?
Thanks in advance.

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?
Hi guys,
First of all, a great (really great !) thanks to all and everyone involved with the JellyBean evervol rom, it work very very well on my dear old N1...
Well, it works very well but not quite flawlessly for me, and since I have not been able to find complaint about this on the dedicated topic in the android dev section, I post my questions here :
Since about one week ago, I remarked that my phone seems often unable to use the 3G connection : I mean I have full scale network with 3G label in the notification bar, but the logo stays grey (not turning blue) and all data request meet a deadend (chrome, news, gmail, ...) while, if I turn wifi on, it works great ...
And since 2 days ago, I started to have another trouble : my sim card just keep locking itself without (apparent) reason, I have to enter the pin code nearly every 5mn ...
No idea of what may be causing that ...
OK, I think I will in some times fall in love with the Nexus 4, but my N1 still working great with this superb Rom, I would like to wait a little (for instance, the time for Google to announce a 32 Go version of their baby ...)
So many thanks to anyone who can help me puting some additional life into this dear N1 ...
For info, I'm running the 3.1.0p1 version of the rom with a 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08 radio and I'm running on the Free Mobile network in France ...
I don't know what additional information I could provide to help, or any diagnostic I can run ?
Thank you in advance for your help ...
So recently my friend whom also has a huawei p9, showed me that he got an update on his phone. It was the android 7 with emui 5. I checked my phone settings to look for updates available, and unfortunately, my huawei says there are no available updates. Why is it the case? How can update my phone?
Thanks you all;
If you need more information iwill provide that...

I dont know why huawei is always like that when it comes to updates. btw instead of checking or waiting for it come to your device you can look for tutorials here on how to manually flash the update. :good:
Huawei is not alone in this situation. So dont start bashing it so soon.
Right now, only 6.6% of ALL android devices is running on 7.0(data from official Android dev Dashboard).
And for update for P9, its mostly regional problem, so as @cheeze.keyk mentioned its best to update it manually.
But I seriously cant get my head around that idea of people crying for update... Because to be honest beside different number in phone settings, and few really small changes in look, there is no difference at all... its not like update will make your phone super-mega-ultra better than before or release some hidden features or make it super faster. Its just a bigger number in phone info...
And I can bet my own P9 that someone could put on your phone android 4.4 that just look like EMUI5 and you would not notice that...
When I still where using Sony devices, I rarely update them... and guess what? No problems at all, device was fast as always, there is no compatibility problems(honestly I have android TV that still work on 4.0 and I can watch YT or stream media without a problem...)
So overall if update dont change anything significant or fix some major problems, worrying about lack of update is not something that you should be sad about.
In some cases, making a hard reset, the OTA appears.
In my case it was the provider. After I changed the sim, nougat was there.

I have the same problem and it's not down to Huawei. My phone is a branded phone (Movistar , Spain) and it is up to them to release the update. After 5 months I am still waiting, God only knows why. For this reason I will never again buy a phone from a service provider, especially Movistar, as you pay for a top of the range phone and are reliant on them to release the update as and when they feel like it. I have just tried updating it myself but have only succeeded in de-branding it so need to try again. Could be that you have the same problem. Good luck.
Good mornin everyone.
I received a P9 Plus that has been modded but has some issues, the biggest one is that it doesn't connect to my SIM. I would like to fix it, I have some skills at working on it but I don't know what to try, maybe installing the stock rom?
Right now it is on EMUI VIE-AL10 8.0.0.528(C00Patch01), the only thing I know is the before modding it was on VIE-AL9 or something like that and has weird things like chinese default apps even if it's a europe-branded.
Do you guys think there's something to do?
Thanks
Hi all guys, I've been missing a long time from here, so please be care enough to forgive me if I posted the thread in the wrong place.
I'm currently using Android Auto and enjoying very much the amazing work made from Gabriele (AAAD, of which I payed the PRO version in order to help the developer's job).
I'm running AA version 6.3.611314 (downgraded from 6.4, because otherwise AAAD didn't work, since AA 6.4.... doesnt' let you show the apps installed apart from the official ones); Ford Focus Active with Sync 3 updated to 3.4 version, a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra5G (European) with Android 11.
Everything works fine, even AAAD installed programs.
The only problem is that every time I unlock the phone it disconnects from AA and then it starts again from the beginning. I opened the DEv Options in the phone settings and chose as standard setting for the usb - File transfer / Android Auto.
My question is: Why this disconnections happen and HOW can I fix it? I currently drive with the phone unlocked and, useless to say, it doesn't charge as much as it would if the screen had been off. I alredy tried with other cables, even with a Sam S9+ original one.
Thanks in advantage, any help is appreciated.
Same here, S10+ latest official, AA 6.4.611714-release, Ford Sync 3.x .
Doing so for about a week (or some more). At phone unlock, AA is crashing to Sync interface, and phone is asking for permissions in order to start Android Auto again (need to press Allow, otherwise AA will not start!)
Thx!
Same here , s10
It'd be nice to know whether the problem starts from the phone version , the AA version or from the car itself.

I can confirm that the issue is related to the last Sammy update , I have downgraded to may update , now aa works perfect
Guys, Google just updated the discussion thread three days ago:
Thanks for all the reports. We informed the Samsung team and they have applied a fix on an upcoming upgrade as part of the regular July maintenance release to resolve this issue. Please keep checking for system updates on the device.
