I'm currently on 27.91-150-5 on metro Moto E5 play. Face unlock is still sometimes crashing when the phone is unlocked via the pattern swipe.
Has anyone installed last night's 27.91-150-5-1 patch? Here are the release notes for it which are quoted below:

v.1.8.0
What's New
Streamlined Gmail Login
It's no longer necessary (or possible) to enter a password to login to Gmail.
Instead, when a you check the box to receive notifications for an email account, you'll see a dialog asking to grant permission to Pebble to access the Gmail account.
Once permission is granted, that dialog will not appear again in the future unless the Google account is removed & re-added from that phone via the Android account settings app.
This will solve issues with 2-factor authentication. You no longer need to enter an application-specific password—simply granting Pebble permission will be sufficient.
All who were experiencing Gmail authentication issues should update to this release and re-enable Gmail notifications.
All users will need to re-authorize with Gmail. Email notifications won't arrive until after you've un-checked then re-checked your email again to login.
Developer Features
ACK/NACK broadcasting. When a Pebble app receives a message from an Android app, it will send an ACK/NACK back to the phone. This will now be broadcast back to the Android app that originated the message.

The beta 2.0 I don't see the list if installed apps like prior. I can only presume it's a bug.
Connectivity seems good.
The fonts on in calls are bigger I think? But it may be placebo affect.
I'll play with it bit more.
I don't like that I can NOT see installed apps on pebble app with beta 2.0

Just noticed also the other pebble apps I'm trying to install are NOT installing, maybe that's why I can't see anything in the apps to see what's installed BC nothing is being installed.
That's for sure is a bug.
Back to the stable version.

Don't mix versions! 1.x watchface and apps are not compatible with 2.x firmware and vice versa. You need all on 1.x or all on 2.x

Pebble app with call reply
Hi,
Does anybody know if there is a chance to have pebble support to repply to the calls with a meesage.
Ther ar default messages which are set, but can't be used to reject call s with a message.
THX,

I see your excellent post. This is a great job. By the beginning of 2013, the products began shipping and by 2014, over 400 000 units were sold. By 2016, that number was already two million units. But it's 2019 and, chances are, most people don't know what a Pebble Watch is. Pebble was ready to take world by storm with its line of smartwatches.

Fire OS 5.4.0.1 Changes ?

I can't seem to find any information to advise a description of changes or fixes for this update.
Even Open Source learned that many people won't upgrade unless they have some idea why.
Anyone find any info on it ?

That's not uncommon on sub-point updates. Likely a security patch roll-up and/or minor tweaks to functionality introduced in v5.4. Often the only clue comes from the summary provided after a successful OTA update.

Which Amazon generally leaves out when updating. On the tablets, it doesn't even say what they're updating. But appears the patch was to stop us from 'uninstalling' their apps. A few are reporting as such, unless they did something wrong.

At some point I may load up 5.4.0.1 (or whatever the latest is) to validate this claim. Will wait for further reports as early telemetry is often misleading.
It is suspected so far that 5.4.0.1 loses the prior ability to manually disable/"uninstall" Amazon apps or be rolled back to any prior builds.

So I just received a 2017 HD8 yesterday (Amazon was having a fire sale on the HD 8), and it came with 5.4.0.0 but said it had a 5.4.0.1 pending.
Not knowing that 5.4.0.1 (supposedly) removed the ability to uninstall/remove certain apps, I went ahead and did it.
Now that I'm on 5.4.0.1, the System Updates page says "There are 13 system component updates ready to install". Anyone know what those are and why they weren't part of 5.4.0.1?
I did try to uninstall (using ADB) a common app to make my lock screen nicer (not sure I'm allowed to say exactly what it is?) but it seemed to still work. I do have those 13 system components that need to be updated, so I suppose those could either reverse and/or hamper further uninstall attempts. Not sure.
Has anyone done this yet? Also, is there a way to tell the Fire tablet NOT to upgrade to 5.4.0.1 (or any future updates)?? It seems that they automatically update themselves.
Update: those 13 system components seemed to install themselves. After a restart, it seems to still be working (no lock screen) and Google Play Store is working.
Update2: after some time, the lock screen comes back. SAD!! Tried re-patching again, it's gone for a bit, then after a few hours, the lockscreen returns.

Worth updating to Pie?

Hi guys,
I have a debranded P10 c432 on emui 8. Firmware Finder report a VTR-LGRP2-OVS 9.0.1 Full OTA it's a strange name, very different from the one based on emui 8 that are somehting like "VTR-L09C432".
So:
Can I install that fw and go to emui 9?
Is it worth updating? the system is slow? battery life? how about the video stabilization?
Can I root?
Can I downgrade, eventually?
thank you in advance
This method work for my
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78850439&postcount=1334
1. The best you can do untill ota arrives is to try via hicare. That way i managed to install emui9 on my vtr-l29c432. The firmwares on ff might cause a brick if it's not the right one for your device so i don't think it's worth the risk.
2.In terms of performace i find the overall system a bit faster and smoother in transitions so for me it's a worth upgrade. No slowdowns or whatever, it's quick and stable with no issues so far (approx. 2weeks of use). Battery seems to be the same, depends on your usage, it may dry fast if you always on screen or it can last a full day if you don't stress it out. About the video i'm not so sure about it but on 1080p 60fps seems to be fine but again i'm not sure about it. I dont record that much on the phone, i ocasionally take some pictures and the camera seems to be fine. Maybe with future updates will be better. It's all about your preferences.
3. I don't use root but maybe it's possible with magisk.
4.Yes, with hisuite.
first thank you so much @Firicel69

When you have bootloader unlocked an TWRP installed make it easy
Look for upgrading to pie Tutorial at this Forum by @Jannomag!
Last Version to use on FF is 9.0.1.165...
I have a P10, rebranded from L09 to L29 with bootloader unlock...
@Jannomag s tutorial is working fine, no Problems with updating so far...

To upgrade to EMUI 9, you need a full firmware - those are listed as VTR-L29C432E1R1P9B165 (9.0.1.165), as an example. The LGRP2 firmwares, those are core system update images for non-Chinese devices (the Bnnn portion of the build number); they split the pieces apart into separately versioned bits with Pie.
I can't say anything for EMUI 9 features specifically, as I installed it for the updated vendor image, not EMUI.
You can root, with Magisk. They removed the ability to boot with a ramdisk in a normal boot, so Magisk takes over recovery instead; newer releases can boot both ways by button detection at boot time.
Downgrade - hisuite.
My battery life went down, but to early to say, because theese Huaweis is smart and needs time to learn habits and battery use... In two weeks I know more.
I don't think it's worth it. Smoother animations and better zoom photo quality are the only upsides. Other than that:
- camera app is much less intuitive, swiping between modes is slow and irritating, that's one of the things that should not be copied from iOS
- no video stabilization whatsoever
- image color processing is a hit and miss (it hates nature), when it gets slightly darker images are too dark
- I lost 1 hour of screen on time
- gallery app is stupid, it lost all the customization. You can't change folders to a list, you can't even rearrange the order!
- screenshot "mechanic" is stupid, it adds one unnecessary step to the process if you want to edit it or something
- themes app is unuseable, it got worse going from Nougat to Oreo, now it's just a messy store. Keep the theme you're on right now and forget about it.
- NFC issues (file transfer works, mobile payments don't).
In short - If your P10 works fine don't bother with the update.

Can underline this.
Also the Memo-App is bad now, no more tick-boxes for quick notes (which is really annoying) and other small issues.
On of the most annyoing is the changing of notification colors on the lockscreen. This is so infuriating for me.....
I dig the Pie, better blutooth, and cams and gallery is nice here, also like the look on swipe menu, and maneuver...
The battery is better today.. I've blockcharged while I was in the shower and 50% now...
It's an old phone.. so I usually block charge abit on the night, in weekend I tend to stay up abit later also...
The phone is faster loading and multitasking.
Gallery is nice? What's nice about it? Blinding white background while viewing your pictures? Or the fact that you cannot do such basic thing as rearranging the order of your folders?
Pie on p10 is very battery efficient. It's so efficient at killing background processes that even calendar notifications won't work properly anymore. Last time I had alarm 22 hours and some minutes late. All other notifications appear at very random times, but always very late. Notifications work fine only for a few days until the app probably gets kicked out of ram. Completeley useless.
And then there is camera with much worse low light quality, bluetooth problems, useless themes app and bunch of other completely useless features and I'm slowly having enough of huawei and their updates. I've had my p10 since march 2017 and I don't think it ever worked without at least one major bug.
Ok I get the point, pie is for someone good and for - too many - a mess. But, maybe because it's a beta? On FF I cannot understand if it9s a beta release or not. Because some other versions of oreo are been released on April with Pie.
And BTW I have spend some time to read some threads here (dated March) and the @Jannomag scripts and it's obvious that it's too early to install it. There is no TWRP, and install magisk is completed and unreliable.
So maybe I will update oreo and wait that pie is mature enough at least that I could install twrp and magisk. Because, honestly, I don't care that gallery app or themes are worst, I could always replace them,the importance is that the system is usable.
It's not a beta. I got it through HiCare app, it's an official OTA update. Besides - most of the things I'm complaining about are present in P30 as well. That's how EMUI 9 is supposed to work.
@Imnotdriving, how is Bluetooth better? Asking because it might be a factor in my decision to upgrade ?
As it turns out, my phone got the pie update last night so I got my own answer. One previously stubborn to connect speaker now connects quickly with aptx Bluetooth hence confirming that Bluetooth is improved.
Otherwise I like the new gesture navigation option in this update. Beyond that, not much is different for the way I use the phone.
There are a lot of new services running and I disabled about a dozen of the low hanging fruit. There's more that I'm sure I'll disable over time once I find out what they do.

Guys what package should I use for upgrade?
VTR-LGRP2-OVS 9.0.1.203
Or
VTR-L29C432E1R1P9B185
Both full ota
The OVS one is just one package update_full_base. Zip but it seems newer then the b185

For the initial update, the LGRP1/LGRP2 packages shouldn't be used - while it's marked FullOTA, it's not a complete build, as it's missing various partitions that need to be flashed in an upgrade from Oreo. (Basically, you'll brick if you flash one of those.)
If you're already on Pie, either works equally well.

So I should use the VTR-L29C432E1R1P9B185 package with the script here? After that I can update pie with LGRP2? But is LGRP2-OVS a sort of beta?
Do you advise me to use the jannomag script or the hi suite trick with dns?
I hope everything goes fine, I want to do a full wipe and install magisk

I've done all of my updates to P using a nocheck recovery. I can't say anything about the tricks with HiSuite or the script you've mentioned, though they should work just fine.
As far as the build numbers go: LGRP1-CHN and LGRP2-OVS are the China and everywhere else builds, respectively. It's possible that some of them might be beta, though I suspect the release notes would give up some indication of that.

General Android 13 Beta 33.0210.0210.100

I received the beta update after applying as soon as it was available.
It works pretty well, I installed it through OTA without a factory reset. Haven't noticed any major bug or issue since installing it, it's very good and outisde of a few imperfections, it could easily look like final software in terms of feature and stability.
Only new feature, coming from the Zenfone9, is the Edge Tool, that allows apps to be run from a sidebar in their own floating window from any screen (reminds me of Small Apps from older Sony phones, pretty useful stuff at the time).
Anyone else from XDA also on the beta?
BlackBerry did it

It's almost 2 weeks that I'm also on the beta on Zen 8.
Very pleased also so far. No issues at all. Just VoWifi option not available as it was before with A11 and A12.
Really satisfied with stability, responsiveness, battery life and so on.
Really well done Asus. Please keep up the good job.

Question Videos not playing on Pixel 7

For the last few days I've been running into a weird issue: sometimes full-screen vertical videos won't open nor play. It happens on almost every app (Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, ecc).
So far the only fix I was able to find was to reboot the phone but it's only a temporary fix, as the issue reappears after some hours.
I thought it could be caused by some app, but I haven't installed anything new for a couple weeks now. I'm currently on software version 13 (TQ1A.221205.011) as I haven't got the January update yet.
You can always download the latest OTA and factory image and flash the update using e.g. Pixel Flasher for convenience. No need to wait for the slow incoming and slowly flashed OTA process.
Regarding the videos; did you try to clean all caches with a tool like e.g. SD maid?

Thanks for the reply.
I tried both clearing caches with SD Maid and booting into safe mode to try and identify what was causing the issue, but had no luck. I ended up factory resetting the phone and the issue seems to now be gone.
I also have this problem, and I'm really tired of restarting my phone every day. I've had the Pixel 4XL and the 7 Pro, and had issues with both. I'm very tempted to go back to the Samsung product line because Google can't release a phone that just works out of the box.

Yeah onestly it's very annoying. Even after a factory reset the issue came back.
I'm a first time Pixel user coming from an S10, overall I'm quite happy with the experience but small bugs like this and the fingerprint reader sometimes drive me mad...

That's awful. I haven't gone the factory reset method because I'd have to do a lot to make sure I don't lose access to wallets and work accounts. The fingerprint reader issue went away for me with the last system update. That was swapped for frequent System UI crashes, and still videos stop playing, and Google Maps stops navigating/updating GPS location. Looking into warranty claims, Google requests a factory reset before taking it to an authorized repair shop or mail in, which doesn't work for me, and I doubt the issue would be fixed.
I had the Galaxy line of phones from the original through 6. I hated the bloatware, but at least the phones worked.

I've reported the issue on Google Community and I've been told to also report it to developers via the built in Android Issue Tracker. I think you should do the same, maybe if enough people report it they'll look into it:
Best send feedback to the developers about this. You can send feedback either through your device or through the Android Issue Tracker.

I've reported the issues as feedback before, but it was before the last System Update. Thanks to your reminder, I sent another report. I did forget to include that the Pixel watch will disconnect from the phone about once a week, which is probably related to videos, camera, and GPS also not working correctly after some time.

After a couple of days in contact with Google's assistance I was offered to replace the phone under warranty. It sucks to not have solved the issue and to have to setup the phone once again, but at least Google was quite understanding.
Overall I think it's quite a rare issue as we are the only two people on the entire internet reporting it. Maybe you should try asking for a replacement too.

I've seen similar complaints on Reddit, so we're not alone. Is Google making you return the phone before they send the replacement, or are they letting you set up the new phone first?

I haven't seen anything onestly, but hope everyone who experiences it reports it so it will eventually get looked into. New phone arrives tomorrow, I have a week to ship back the old one.
I just got my Pixel 7 Pro a few weeks ago and I am having this issue already. Videos won't play on any app. This is really unacceptable for a brand new phone.

I received an advanced replacement phone last week. Everything was great for 3 days, until I connected my phone to my car via Bluetooth and setup Android Auto. Now I'm having the same annoying issues on this new phone. How has your replacement been working for you?
