Hello, after last update, has someone encountered problems sometime, in using fingerprints to access the device?
You have to be much more specific, there are diff models (single or dual SIM, 16 or 32 GB) and varius custs (regional releases), even for the same model/cust dynamics of OTA may vary for eg countries/operators
Depending on that, some are still on M, some on various N builds and some on Android O
So exactly, about which build are you talking - full build name as from Settings/About

There's two files for the 7.1.1 image i was wondering which is the latest and what the difference between the two are
N6F26Q and N6F26R
If you read past the build numbers you'll see that one is newer than the other. Monthly security patches...
Hello guys, I bought my Huawei P9 back in December 2016 and since then I only used official EMUI 4.1, official EMUI 5.0 and I am currently using the NewWorld-7 by Tecalote, but I am now looking to change this.
I need you guys to suggest me the "best" if I can say ROM out there for the P9, kinda doesn't matter the version. Only a few notes: The ROM must have a working Camera, GPS, Fingerprint, Bluetooth, etc. (as much things working as possible).
Because I want the ROM to have as less bugs as possible I am thinking of installing the official ROM, probably B378 (or whatever the latest version was), but I want to keep my root access on the other hand, so I'm also thinking about dkionline's "mOOnlight ROM v1.0 B378 Stock", but the thing is that as far as I'm concerned, on Custom ROMs, the PlayStore isn't updating and this is important for me, because I am modding my games a lot and the latest version of the PlayStore is required.
One thing in EMUI 5 that I hate is the lockscreen when using Spotify. I have no problem about the thing being small (in EMUI 4 it takes the whole screen), but atleast the controls to be working properly (people who used Spotify and B362 or whatever the first official B3XX build was will undestand).
So well, suggest me what ROM to install

It probably will be upgraded at some time. No idea when though. For some reason only some localizations are on Pie and the rest are postponed...
You could flash Pie manually if you are desperate to get it, but it mught be better to wait at least if you want to be sure everything works like it's supposed to and are not accustomed to Android flashing etc.

As Vofferz said . It *probably* will. Updates are released by regions. If there are some bugs, Sony may stop the update and/or not release the same update to other regions.
There are no detailed release notes for any new update (as I know of) so we can't be sure what were those bugs and reasons for stopping/not releasing updates for some region.
I'm on Customized DE and I also don't have the Pie (yet). But, I'm happy with my phone the way it is.
Pie upgrade may bring some good stuff (newer API), but also some bad things (like clock on the left-hand side and audio buttons default to media). Also, there were those possible bugs. (Some are mentioning GPS bugs etc.)
But if you must have the newest OS on your device, there is a way to flash Sony ROM from different region to your own device. To do that, you can use Newflasher and Xperifirm tools. Search for them on this forum. But I wouldn't recommend flashing if you're not experienced.
It might be a weird question, but do you upgrade your custom rom? Or do you always upgrade to the newest build available for the custom rom you use?
If the answer is yes can you please tell me why and how (clean flash or dirty flash).
If no can you tell me why?
Currently I'm using Los 16 (april 22) and I'm confused whether I should upgrade to the newest build or not.
So should I clean flash to the newest build or not?
The main reason I'm hesistant to clean flash the newest build is because of the safetynet. I pass the safetynet with the current build (22 april build and picoopengapps, no root or anything).
Well this is going to vary person to person. in my opinion main reasons for upgrading/updating are latest security patch,bug fixes,stability,optimization,device side improvements,new features and os upgrade if available.
Not upgrading would be the current ROM is working good as expected and it is fulfilling the all requirements needed buy user.
I do update ROM whenever there is new update available(i don't use any nightly build ROM). but for now i am on Havoc OS 2.9 23/12/2019 build with 5th september 2019 security patch.
I don't use any banking apps so it does not matters me to update the ROM.
The main reason i am not using Havoc OS latest build is i need to have edge gesture control and pie control due to my device's 30% of screen area including capacitive buttons are not working and this helps to continue using rom without changing display as i don't want to spend money on my phone and waiting for some good mid range phone with super amoled display.
If my device's screen would have been working fine then i would have been using latest rom.
Clean flash and dirty flash depends upon if maintainer instruct to do so if not then you can dirty flash rom considering there is no os upgrades. e.g. you cant dirty flash android 10 rom and android 9. other than it is pretty much fine to dirty flash rom with doing necessary backups.
If LOS 16 working fine for you and there is no anything major new or the rom is stable well optimized then i don't think so there is need of upgrade.
If you are concerned about latest security patch then there is no option than upgrading rom.
You should first check if safetynet is pass or not on latest builds, discuss this with other users on respected rom thread, youtube video reviews or groups.
I've used Pixel Experience 9 from June 2019 and never upgrade until now because it already answers my need for daily use.
How can you find out what version of the phone you have? I purchased a used Google brand (or so I thought) P5 this spring and I thought I flashed the Feb 21 A11 RQ1"A".210205.004 build (certain I did because that's the build I have downloaded). I did this before I ever installed my Verizon SIM card. I have been struggling with connectivity issues for a while now, and another XDA member suggested that I reflash the radios from that build. Sounds like a good idea, but when I just looked at the build number on the phone its a RQ1"D" build number. I never downloaded that version, so three questions:
1, Could the phone change the build number when I installed the Verizon SIM card? If so, which radio flash would be the correct one? The Google version or the Verizon version?
2. What can I check on the phone to determine what version of the hardware I have? I had the bootloader unlock option available when I got the phone, so I thought it was a Google phone. Are there other clues as to the hardware version?
3, Generally, if you are using a Google phone with a Verizon SIM in it, do you use Google builds or Verizon builds?
Thanks in advance
Settings > About phone > Android version
Or
Settings > About phone -- Build number is on the bottom
When I first bought the phone (Google unlocked) I was using Verizon.
I'm now on AT&T, however the build used remain the same.
I'll link the latest factory images for Pixel 5
Android 12
Android 13

Thanks for your response. Something odd seems to be going on here. I found the phones hardware to be GD1YQ in the Regulatory Labels tab, so is not the Japan or Global model. So I know I did not download and flash the Verizon build, but yet the phone says the version is the "D" (Verizon) build. I am not sure whether to flash the radios out of the Verizon version or the Google version of the update. I do not want a brick, so I am confused as to how to move forward.
But, if there is no specifically Verizon version hardware, why is there two different updates? It should not matter which version you use, right? Especially if the hardware is unlocked and the only difference is the sim card...
What am I missing here?

This is as simple as I can possibly make it for you...
Android 11.0.0 (RQ3A.211001.001, Oct 2021
Android 12.1.0 (SQ3A.220705.003.A1, Jul 2022)
Android 13.0.0 (TP1A.220624.014, Aug 2022)
Depending on if you want to stay on Android 11, upgrade to Android 12 or latest Android 13.. these are the links for the Pixel 5 - Redfin
I personally suggest you upgrade to Android 12, and wait for more releases of Android 13, before upgrading to it.
Choice is yours obviously.
