Thanks. I have ordered from Ali Express the 6gb version too. Still waiting for them to ship it as they want to install L29 ROM. It's been 4 days and they still haven't shipped it.
FYI how does one calculate what custom fees are expected to be paid from China to UK? What is the rate?

Congrats on your new device. May I request some updates about the rebranding process and which ROM you are finally driving this baby with? Still waiting to make a decision regarding import or go with the European pro Modell...
how did you get the unlock code?
I have Mate 10 4GB /64GB. IMO camera quality is terrible. My old U11 can do better in all case . Please share your experience
dc-unlocker not support yet,so the only way to get the unlock code is sign in your huawei id 14 days,then go to emui.com apply unlock code !

Hi mate install this [ROM] TG P990 ICS V30A - Stable - Rom and Advanced Kernel and you will see the camera quality just perfect 8mp photo and video everyting works perfect you also can overclock it over 1.3mhtz.
Good Luck !:good:
i don't think the quality is so bad for a smartphone ,if you wante to make good photos ,you should buy a reflex ,not a smartphone ,it's not made for that !
and yeah +1 for the LG crappy software !

jealous of the other phones camera shots.
Why are you running realities. this rom is a disgrace.
I bought this phone is $ 750. This is a great money. had a two-year software warranty. this software is now happening. I am very angry. I would just like to thank forum.xda.
Without this forum, our voices were gone lost.
1st of all - don't use colored text when you write posts, it hurts the eyes when reading... everyone here will be gratefull for that
2nd - if you don't like LG p990 - just buy the other phone and spare us from reading unuseful posts in the future
3rd - if you want good picture quality - buy an micro 4/3 slr camera like Olympus Pen series (small, portable,...)
i always smile at people expecting great photos from their mobile phones - yes, some HTC's and iPhone may have better pictures than our LG O2x - but that is also a crap quality if you ever used a decent photo camera in your life...
Calm down. If you want to complain, send a message to LG.
Please close this thread before it becomes a 10-page crying monologue.

I would never spend that kind of money on ANY phone, no matter the brand or specs... But anyway, it was your decision. However, speaking of the "software warranty", you must be dreaming, because there is no such thing in the universe. Not sure what you are talking about... I don't know, you may have some sort of a support agreement from your carrier saying you would get updates for two years, but nobody in their right mind, be it a carrier, retailer or manufacturer, would ever guarantee either particular timeframe for software updates, or specific versions/functionality.

On my phone (stock V30a) it takes about 2 sec from pressing a shutter button to the moment the camera is ready for another photo. Not bad, in my opinion. In poor light conditions, when the flash is enabled, it takes up to about 4 sec (longer time to focus). However, the flash is very good, with no overexposure.
Photos quality is ****ty when we compare it to GB. ICS have too much compression on it...
P990 Tapatalk 2.0
OK the camera is bad.... And every review about the o2x said so, or at least most of them so does it come as a surprise? Not really at least not for me.
You all did read about the phone first before you bought it right?
You can't have been that stupid that you bought a phone and a rather pricey one for that matter and not have read at least 1 review?
Also you did go to a store and tried it to, right??
Of course you all did. I can't think about at any person not sane enough to do those two things before they buy a phone. Even my 80 years old grandma does that, she visits the stores multiplied times and different stores each time and try the phone, asks the salesman and finally comes to me for a review "is it a good phone for her or not".
Based on these facts the camera quality can't have been a surprise.
Next thing is the software updates. That's not really any surprise ether of course LG have been bad on this part. But most people know that unless Nexus is written on the phone you won't get any fast updates. Some manufactures are then better then others but most have the same problem. If you don't believe me.... Take a field trip to any other none nexus phone here on the forum that's as old as our, and see for your self..
And if you can't live with this go and buy one of those half eaten fruit phones. They have fast updates and long update support life.
But camera on GB is really good when we compare only a smartphones.

and that is because you use a ICS leak firmware v28
try stock or custom v30 ICS and the high overexposed pictures made with flash are gone.
taking pictures are a tad quicker also.
i agree on the fact that GB AND cameramod from AndyCP give me 3-5 mb photo's
it is just a matter of time until great tweaks like that should come to us.

I have RMA'd 8 Nexus 4's. I have used every model except the 210k. I've noticed many improvements in build quality.
With the 302K, we got the little nubs and a more solid feel. Almost all of my Nexus 4's had creaking and build quality issues.
This 303K is perfect. The striping/banding problem with the display has been significantly reduced and the build quality is perfect.
This is the best Nexus 4 I've used. No problems at all. This will be my last RMA. I am keeping this one. :good:

For me, the RMA's have been extremely quick. They ship me a new device in two days flat.
can i check if your phone is rooted when you RMA? I called the nexus hotline and stupidly tell the officer that my phone is rooted with custom rom.
Initially he wanted to direct me to manufacturer then I told him that I will insist on RMA with play store as I am going to restore it back to stock and relock it.
So now he needs to let his specialist know to see if they can still allow me to RMA it.

Was taken aback when the customer service officer says the warranty will be void and blah blah.. Guess I will wait till what the specialist instructs..
my Rev 10 212k powerbutton is failing on me.. zz
Yeah the one I ordered a late march was a 303k version as well, and nothing has gone wrong with mine yet.
ah crap. google play just replied and they are biting on the fact that I had tampered with my phone's software and voiding my warranty. I have written another long email hopefully they can allow me to just rma.
This is plain rubbish. A nexus device but dont allow root.
Does only nexus 4 from USA have this type of serial number?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
When I bought my N4 on March 28th, it was also a 303K - and I grabbed it from my carrier rather than through Google Play (didn't want to wait for shipping, and it was only $7 more, so I decided it was worth the convenience). Also, it's one without the new little nubs. Aesthetically and functionally, it was absolutely perfect! Screen was beautiful, especially when using AOSPA with it's nicely tuned kernel. Still fragile, though, as it's first fall less than 2 feet did shatter the screen. To be fair, it hit concrete face-down, so I'm not really surprised it broke... and to answer hoangtungst, I got mine in Canada.

That sucks but to be brutally fair you can't argue really. They make no secret of the fact you void your warranty by rooting.
Sorry
Just out of interest would anyone pay a bit extra for a "true" dev phone in that the warranty remains intact for any software changes?
Thinking about it tho, that would leave lots of grey areas and loopholes, such as turning of thermal throttling and physically damaged the CPU etc.
Mine is a 302k, it doesn't squeak, it does not have nipples, and display is perfect. 303k just means produced in Korea in march 2013. I assume that more important is the hardware rev version, the external parts are subject to modifications without any advertisement, and they are just related to the end of old parts before starting using new ones...

If you fried something in side the phone from overclocking etc then yeh I could get why they'd reject it.
Really 8? Why did you send the last one in? Cause you wanted nubs and a new lens? I highly doubt you got 8 defective units. So stupid

I had the exact same thought. I don't know of anyone who would have gone through the RMA process 8 times for legit reasons. You would move on to a different device long before you dealt with 8 RMA's. Google should have told you to pound sand when you requested the 4th RMA.

The comparison is not exactly valid. You're comparing a smaller 4.6" screen with HD resolution only (Z3C) with a 5.0" Full-HD (X Perf.).
Think it's more realistic to compare it to the Z2, Z3, Z3+ and Z5...

Thanks for the review...
I have a few things.. The phone going to 3g is normal, in Denmark when making a call to a number from another provider it goes to 3g but when making call to one using same provider it uses 4g for HDVOICE.
LTE is the same as 4G even though it is not 4g but that is another story. It is the same...so no big deal there.
I will await my phone and I look forward to it, my old z3 is in bad shape ?
Thanks again and have a great weekend ?

HellRoot,
Sure thing man!
Well here a phone w/o VoLTE should stay in 4G at least, but I guess if the one is not FROM (or locked) a carrier, it's not gonna get 4G. I just found out what I'm getting during a call is that it's switching back & forth between 3G and H+, or 3.5G. Some real BS eh? lol
Yeah NOT during a call my int'l XP shows LTE, which I know now is the same as 4G LTE. But it's DURING a call that is what I'm concerned with. Apparently there's more to it than just the VoLTE-certification, b/c my phone is no different than the T-Mo Z1s (which again does NOT have VoLTE either) EXCEPT that it's unlocked and int'l.
Yeah I had the Z3 too and I LOVED it!! Got the S7 but it just wasn't the same. lol Tried the HTC 10 too but still.........to me, Sony is still the best. The Z3 had better battery life than the XP does though, so make sure to get that 360 Hibernation Master app (full paid version!) too. See my review for all the details. Also a QC 2.0 or esp 3.0 charger will help deal with that too.
YW. You too buddy!!

Lte is 4g, it is exactly the same as lte4g or whatever you want to call it. The shown symbol or name is down to region of firmware only.

This phone is finally a fine replacement for my z3c. The z5c has been a huge disappointment, horrible battery life, average camera, constant resets or firmware reinstalls.
First off, it's ridiculous that the contacts app force closes. Not sure how that doesn't get caught in beta. Aside from that the phone stays cool, is fast, takes amazing photos, and is eminently stable.

Hey Bialynia,
Yeah I really love it too! I wish it had a bigger battery like my Z3 did, but it's still pretty good, esp when using the 360 Hibernation Master app with it. Works like Stamina Mode but better.
Yeah I think it's ridiculous too. I started a thread on here a few days ago about it. MGS seems to have found a fix, but it didn't work for me, though it might for you? Take a look at the thread here. Let me know if it works for you or not (if you try it)!
I agree on all points....... the camera is definitely better than the HTC 10's and even my now former Galaxy S7's! More detailed than the 10, and more color accurate (and not oversaturated) than the S7's. It runs and loads up apps much quicker than the S7 did, and that had an extra GB of RAM on it! The speakers sound much better than the S7's super awful lone speaker, it doesn't skip while playing music through MicroUSB port with headphones like the S7 constantly did, looks really premium too, etc. I have absolutely no regrets about buying it this phone.
I'm hoping to have an unlocked US version of the X performance possibly late this week and will post thoughts.
lindseybp,
Nice. Despite Sony Mobile not advertising it for the US XP, many people are claiming that the US XP WILL in fact be IP65/68 compliant. It'd be nice if someone (not saying you lol) could test that. Others on here say sometime soon (if not already) someone will develop a flash for the US XP that will actually activate the fingerprint sensor. You may want to ask around on here about that if you want to use it. They say it won't require root or even unlocking of the bootloader, which is extra nice. lol

Would be nice to have a flash like that. I would definitely give it a go. As for testing the IP65/68......I would have to think about it....

Yeah it would. lol So far I've been told you need something called Flashtool (bookmark that link and download now) and then the FTF file (int'l individual firmware file which will just activate the fingerprint sensor, vs the full int'l firmware file which will change everything, but you may not want that.) It's nice b/c unlocking the bootloader on an Xperia phone has been known to permanently mess up the camera, but this doesn't require that or again rooting either. I'd also check through these threads with the word "firmware" being the search term used for the XP. Or just start your own requesting that FTF file.
Haha again, I WASN'T implying you should test that, but someone. I'm sure someone on YouTube will soon enough too, so I'd keep checking there.

I started having other issues with XP this weekend. It randomly restarted like twice on its own, and now after doing another factory reset, I'm noticing that during calls where I have Speakerphone off the screen is STILL not turning off. So returning it for a new one, and am hoping I'll have the same luck MGS did with everything including the Contacts app. lol
So the oneplus 5t is here and it's great for the price point but a punch in the gut for users who bought the original one for the same price . But I get why did that so it's fine.Anyhow the 5t is more 2017ized now so how many of you would consider changing to that going from your oneplus 5 which you bought only a couple of months ago?Is a bigger screen (same res and stuff tho) and face ID(fastest one in the market rn) enough to turn to a new phone ? In any case what are the chances of something like face Id being ported to our oneplus 5 and it being functional ?

Maybe we all just wait what oneplus will do as face recognition is merely a software gimmick as there are no hardware needed.
Camera and screen is hardware related but for the camera software changes can also be implemented for the 5 I hope.
Let's hope gets 5 and 5t a cross development like the 3 and 3t.
I'm going to get the 5T if my 5 sells (currently have it up for sale). I'm only willing to pay the difference after selling my 5.
Face unlock does seem to be very fast but it doesn't use all the other sensors that are on the iPhone X for example, which could in turn make it less secure/accurate - time will tell though!
As for it being ported, not too sure but there is an Xposed module available (Instant Face Unlock) that works with Google's smart lock I believe, so maybe it could be possible - a better answer can probably be given from a dev
Guys, I think we should open a new thread for OnePlus 6, anyhow it's just a couple of month away.....why bother with the 5T.

Face Unlock is already implemented in OnePlus5. So nothing new here. Unfortunately it's all marketing.
Most of Android phones have face unlock included because it's an Android feature.

It's actually separate from the default face unlock and apparently it's way faster.
I'll stick to my op5, I hate the fingerprint in the back, will buy a new one once they know how to implement it under the screen.
will the 5t even have hardware buttons like the 5? i totally need those, hate this on screen stuff

oneplus face unlock just uses camera to capture 2d image of your face from many angles. very insecure. can be easily tricked, maybe even with a photograph.
iphone x face unlock literally sprays your face with 30,000 lasers and measures. much more secure and probably induces cancer much more quickly.

Apple responded "The iPhoneX didn't give you face cancer, you were looking at it wrong."
When your phone is no longer up-to-date, custom roms can implement facial unlock, or will this feature disappear?
It seems that Face Unlock wont be coming on OnePlus 5T,
This is what GeekyRangit says, he asked it to Carl Pei and he responded him back saying there are some Hardware limitations -_-

BS there is no other dedicated hardware they use the exact same camera. You really think a oneplus employee even if it is Carl would promise something like facial recognition for the oneplus 5 without asking it's company. What is more convenient than just to say no it is a hardware limitation. Think about it what would be needed to make facial recognition work a camera even more cameras to make it 3d and some infrared to make it work at night.
The 5 T has a camera and no ir because reviews all ready showed it needs light to work otherwise it does not. Some people believe anything :-s
Tell me looking at the screen protector where could this mystical hardware be ?
The face id that's implemented on OnePlus 5T is less likely to come to OnePlus 5 according to an Indian youtube tech reviewer 'Geekyranjith' (source : Twitter). He claims to have spoken to Carl Pei, who in turn said that the face unlocking feature on OnePlus 5T won't come to OnePlus 5 due to some hardware restrictions. Will have to wait and see if the feature is hardware or software related. Ofcourse for now there is Google 'Smart Lock' feature( in all android phones 4.0+) for face unlock,but not as fast and reliable as on OnePlus 5T.

Yeah..I Know in actual, there no hardware limitations. The both device have same camera sensors.
Also I dont Trust GeekyRanjit,
But it seems OnePlus might want to keep the feature limited yo Op5t. -_-
Lets see if we get the ans for this in the AMA session on 21st.
Even If it it doesn't come to Op5 then it would be easily ported by some Developers

So. I'm gob-smacked.
Winter is coming... but at least we'll have a shiny new Note to pass the time
With this potentially being the last Note phone, fingers crossed that the ninth edition is a homerun.
Who's hyped? Which variant will you be buying?

Ill def be getting one since i skipped the note 8, first note ive missed since i started buying notes on the 2.
I will absolutely not waste money on the Canadian version due to the locked BL.
I will go exynos just as I have done on the note 7, s8 plus and S9 plus..its the best way to go really these days. I might consider an asian or Latin America snapdragon this time possibly as they are also unlocked but just dont get much development.

Good to see you back in the note forums.
I just finished watching the Unpacked event and came away impressed.
Dare I say Note 9 is the most complete Note to date. It feels like the second coming of the Note 7 (hopefully without the spontaneous combustion lol).
Definitely upgrading from the Note 8 to the 8GB/512GB variant. Probably pick up the DS international variant for the unlocked bootloader.
Pre orders are live with Bell so far. Waiting for BestBuy...
Strike that!
Pre order's live on best buy.
Pre ordered the Ocean blue with the banana stylus!

I remember seeing it online for $400/450 from the Samsung trade in program. Not sure if that's CAD $ though
Can anyone suggest which site to order international note 9 from (preferably delivered around launch date)
Boo....Best Buy does not have 512gb version, but Samsung site does..... But Samsung site is currently broken, can't get to checkout. Anyone else experiencing the same?
I thought maybe these forums would be blowing up after Unpacked. Seems like no one, not even Samsung cares that their e-store is broken after their Unpacked event. There are only 3 people on twitter that have commented the store being down. 3.
I felt like there would be many people like me with an OG Pixel eagerly awaiting the Pixel 3....but now disappointed the Pixel 3 has an ugly unibrow of a notch and only 4gb of ram. Long time Note 4 user and Note 7 refugee.

I ordered online from the Samsung store website and got a confirmation within 5 mins. Took a few tries since I realized something was wrong with the site so I waited about 2hrs and I was able to checkout.
I’m probably going sleep on this again. Last note I had was the 5. I be back when note 10 comes. Have fun with it, it’s a beast.

Forgive my ignorance. My last android phone was like 3-4 years ago. Already sold my Iphone x and ready to pull the trigger on Note 9.
Now can someone tell me what will I be missing if I go with the international version for use on Rogers?
Will Samsung pay or Google pay work?
Does changing fonts require root?
What will I lose by rooting the phone?
Thanks a lot for any input. Can't wait to place the order.

You wont get wifi calling or VOlte without root likely.
Samung pay wont work, google pay should work. If you root neither will likely work depending on how magisk plays nice or not.
If you root you trip knox (because you need twrp to root) and lose it and all its functionality. S health has also been broken by root in the past
