Hey,
Working from rc1 of cm6, it seems when any app that uses location data such as the weather in fancy widget or anything like that reports the zip code being 4. Just 4, not even a full zip code. Maps however finds my location without a problem.
Anyone know why this might happen? Fresh install.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the other apps but the news & weather widget that comes with the phone decides its topic based on ur phones language & keyboard settings.
So if its set to UK, you will see UK news and if set to US, then, well, US news
If you reside elsewhere, one workaround is to download MoreLocale 2 from the market. It changes the language & keyboard settings to what you want, thereby getting the news widget to display the correct news of your location.
Ok, so I bought a P9 ( EVA-AL00 ) since I've always been a fan of Leica products, and I'm a hobbyist photographer. First off, I currently use an iPhone 5s for the last 2 months, and before that was using a OnePlus One, and before that an iPhone 5c and Blackberry Passport, so I've had a variety ogf phones over the last 2 years. I'm not into hacking, or unlocking or locking bootloaders and that type of thing, which is why I generally like Apple products, as they just seem to work out of the box. I'm leaving my 5s because the screen is too small, and I like what the P9 offers for the money, at a cheaper price point than an iPhone 6s. And the Leica optics.
So, having said that, what do I need to know once I get the phone tomorrow? Any critical or important tips or tricks? Again, I'm not into anything complicated when it comes to phones like rooting, etc... I'm in Canada and my Carrier is Bell. My ANdroid experience has been with the OnePlus One I used for a while, and I was generally pleased with it.
Thanks
Ok, so phone arrived. I made a mistake. It's a EVA-DL00.
It's running EVA-DL00C17B163, and I'm currently updating to 168. This is a CHinese version of the phone, from my understanding. I'm using it in English, but some things are still in Chinese. Is there any way to to flash with other software to make it all English?

Welcome to the club
I recently bought the EVA-L10 (Chinese Dual-Sim, "premium" version, 4G/64G) while in Shanghai, and I have the same "problem" as you.
Basically since Google is not available in China, the phones sold in China don't come with Google Android framework, they use a "non-google Android", based of the official Android.
So, to your question, will it be possible to flash another firmware over your phones firmware? I say Yes, however at the same time I'm lying, because I'm also looking for this firmware for my phone, but if someone posts a EVA-L29 Firmware somewhere on the Interweb, I'm most certain this firmware will work on my phone and should also work on yours (might require bootloader unlock and root, but so what..).
But the phone is, chinese apps or not, awesome
/S
You can install Google stuff. Just download the Google Play store from the Huawei store, and then have at 'er installing all the normal Google Play apps that you want. That's what I'm currently doing. I just want to get rid of all the Chinese stuff on the phone. ALso, switch the keyboard to the regular Android one in the settings.

Hi!
Of course, but there are still some applications that are "System Applications" that you cant get rid of, like HiCare, HiApp, .. etc. and if you are in a country using special characters like ü or åäö, these are not rendered correct in the Mail app (shows up as chinese chars).

Have you checked out the contacts yet, .. did you manage to sync contacts from your Google account? Because my contacts from google dont show up in the Huawei built in "Contacts" App (which is also used by the dialer). Only contacts from Skype, LinkedIn, WeChat etc. are shown.

Hi,
I also bought a P9 ( EVA-AL00 ) last June, and currently i'm having an issue.
Usually i don't have games on my phone, or almost none, but some days ago, i wanted to install Heartstone on my P9. When downloading , at about 85%, sometimes 9x% (once it reached 100%) suddently it pops out from Google Play, and don't install the game. I tried also with other games and it happens the same. It doesn't happens with every game, i tested sucessfully with Stack and Sokoban
I have plenty of free space on phone and several applications installed (no Google Play issue, i think).
After i received the phone, i download the Google services/play store APK without issues. I deactivated the chinese bloatware, with no issues. Once Google Play installed, i downloaded all other Google Apps i use and others without issues...well there is an issue i had with RT app. It installed ok, but sometimes when i want to open it, i have to try several times to open it... I click on icon but closes.
Have someone here with EVA-AL00 having this issue also?
Thanks!

I just bought the non-carrier specific 3G / 32G Chinese version (EVA AL00) P9 when I was in Guangzhou last week and had to do the following after coming back home to get it to work with google and sync with two google accounts.
1. Install Google Play Store from HiApp and sign in with first google account.
2. Make sure to give Google Play Store permission to access storage, otherwise large apps won't install.
3. Download apk of Google Contacts Sync from APKMirror
4. Download apk of Google Calendar Sync from APKMirror
5. Use the browser on the phone to download these two apk files and follow the instruction on the phone to install them.
Sorry I'm not allowed to post outside links yet, however google search keywords like Google Contacts Sync APK will turn up the download links.
6. Since the phone still did not allow me to add a second google account in Settings -> Accounts -> Add Account, I had to install Youtube and use the Add Account in Youtube to add a second google account.
After these steps, I was able to sync contacts and calendar events with both google accounts and install apps from Play Store.
Hi, I too recently purchased a Huawei P9 EVA- AL00 , my issue is that I cannot source the Drivers for this model and I have searched the web on several occasions and several web sites? I am trying to unblock the bootloader so I can change over to English version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello guys, not sure if i'm right or not for posting it here.
IN belgium android Auto is not yet available, which, quite frankly is quite frustrating.
So i can't download it from the store.
I have tested with a VPN on phone but didn't seem to work very great so....next best thing?
Does anyone have, a working APK, for Android Auto, for Huawei P30 Pro?
And, second one.
If anyone from belgium managed to get this to work, did you run into a problem where the opening of the app results in a error message "somethign went wrong" google play services doesn't seem to be working at the moment
Sign in to Google Play services (Beta) https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.gms
Install Android Auto apk - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/android-auto-4-3-5918-release/ arm64-v8a
Or download from AppGallery ?

I guess AppMirror would be the best option.
I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on a 256/8 varient of the k20 pro with the intention of just using the phone as daily with the Chinese Rom in A urope ,I know there will be other roMs but I just can't be arsed with all the modding about,getting too old and too busy to be messing,but love the look of the phone specs etc
Is there any downsides to using the Chinese rom,Im happy enough with the lack of band 20 and I understand the phone will get OTAs and there is English support
Are there any other problems besides the bloat which should be easy to remove, bit of fiddling for play store too I think
Should all apps work ok etc or anything else I should look out for
I think Europe version should be mi 9t pro, if you want to flash Chinese stock room, unlock bootloader first, fastboot flash Chinese full package

No no no,read my post before giving a reply, I was enquiring about the Chinese rom,the kind of disadvantages to using it in Europe because there is no 9T pro,no global rom as yet
Im using it Croatia, there is lack of the band 20 and you manually must instal google playstore and services. Other than than that there arent any dissadvantages
A friend that had chinese miui on mi8, told me that he had some problems with gps, and also it would have low signal strength, and those where fixed with global rom.
Gps works fine, and signal strength depends on coverage off cell towers. I can say that it has same signal strength as poco atleast where i live.

I would imagine GPS is particularly good with the new dual band GPS it has.
i'm more less in the same page, im eager to buy the Chinese version, but not sure if i wont give up of B28, coz its make a lot of diff here in Brazil.
Do you guys think this band will be available for future update, like previously happened to Mi9, it didnt have band 28, but its got now. Maybe its only software dependent, right?
No Google Keyboard (English) in China ROM K20 Pro
I could not see the Google Keyboard that can be used across apps even after installing the Google Services in my K20 Pro Chinese Version.
i am also in your situation , i can't understand why there isn't a k20 pro chinese rom review to explain exactly which are in DETAILS the difference , we know about play store etc
@GANESHBRUCE can't you you install any keyboard from play store ? (including google keyboard) ?
I wanted a chinese rom device,but ended up buying a k20pro with fake indian rom.can i flash chinese rom without a issue?
I bought the the Chinese rom 256/8 and I the amount of bloatware is insane! At least I have uninstalled 30 apps, some can't be installed, this was a turn off for me, but now I just have to live with it. Other things all good all fine.
But I want to ask experts here, is there any privacy issue with the Chinese ROM? With this amount of apps I feel like they have all kind of data monitoring just to shove their adds in my face, so is there anything I must do? Block something or stop specific service?
One can use the Chinese ROM without any flashing but you have to live with some Xiaomi app and some minor Chinese in some places even after switching to English.
There are no major issues as far as I know.

Third party app paid Xiaomi a price for their apps to be pre-installed. The only ad coming through may only be from Xiaomi MIUI.
I've used it for a week and everything worked just fine, there was some cool features that only works in chinese rom wich was MI AI wich pre loads apps and its basically like google assistant (pre loading apps was cool), it had a special keyboard only for inputing passwords and there's more! the downside was because i installed google play store by an apk (maybe if you install gapps.org it fixes it) it coudn't sync my contacts and other things (real big problem for me) and besides the stupid chinese apps there's some MIUI apps that doesn't change with the language like the calendar and others i don't remember...
Try it for youself, at the moment i'm using mi globe rom, wich is based of the chinese rom + features and debloated.

You need to install calendar and contact sync apk and ensure autostart is enabled to sync.

You can download GBoard (Google Keyboard) from the Playstore and set it as your Default keyboard in Settings.
I used it for a while but had to switch to the India ROM (kinda Global I guess).
Honestly the English version of the China ROM (stock) was fine with me but Google Home wasn't working fine because it mixed up English and French (phone was in English/ Google Home in French), my wife couldn't use it because she doesn't speak English. The other downside was the MI "Browser" being launched by default for all external apps including GMail, very annoying for me.
Other than that everything was working fine, and I liked being able to see the new features (like the new multiple shot in the camera not available in India). The bloatware was kind of ok with me, except MI AI which was sometimes confused with Google Assistant by the phone in certain apps/ devices (Bluetooth).

Well vivo, from which place are you buying it from?
Ive seen the phone before, if its from India then it would have google apps etc.
And you would get security updates and you would have google photos.
In my mind, only China imported phones don't have google services sometimes.

uh oh, I ordered it from Hong Kong. fingers crossed then. should have asked here first.
Welllllll, its probably likely theres no google services, but when you get it just post a thread if you don't have it and tag me. Ill try to help you install the global version of the rom on it.
Yeah china banned google atuff with google play so your best bet is to wait till uou recieve it and flash the global rom or you should cancel and choose smth else.

Can you explain how to install funtouch os firmware?
Hi,
I've got the chinese version too, and I'm based in Switzerland.
Actually, it's working good, but not perfect. Some things are missing or not working perfectly and some things are hard coded chinese. But as a daily driver for taking perfect photos, calling/messaging its "working".
Some points:
- Google (Play) Services preinstalled, can be loaded through the vivo app store when installing gmail app
- Backup/Syncing working, but the initial restore from an old phone is not offered through google initial setup
- google photos, maps and so on are working, only location history can't be enabled.
- Regular OriginOS updates
- some chinese default bloatware preinstalled, some can be uninstalled
- no google now, just a chinese vivo version
- android auto doesn't work atm
- some fine tuning necessary with default apps, and so on
- google pay, banking apps working
Over all, it's working for me, but i'm missing some tiny bits, which a global rom could fix. But in comparison what you get (camera, performance, display, price...), it's a aceptable device for me.
If you need specific infos, just leave me a note.
If there's a global rom, i would be interessfed too.

thanks for all that info. mine is currently in transit to me. i feel much better after reading your comments. i love taking pictures and that is my main reason for getting this phone. will for sure reach out with questions if needed after I get it.
You won't regret it. This phone just captures perfect photos. Even in comparisson to the samsung s21 ultra. My opinion (and my wife with a s21 ultra).
Some things are annyoing but i can live with it. I mean, I can even do phone calls
Just a night shot from now 2 a.m. - it's dark outside and this camera manages to capture photos like its late afternoon...

Oh google play services are preinstalled?
That's actually new to me.
Sorry, I guess I was kind of misleading with google being removed. It was banned in china but I did not know that google play services still worked.
I received it on Friday. Chinese version definitely. But Google Play Store already installed. I downloaded all the normal Google apps like Android Messages, Chrome, Contacts & Calendar and they all seem to be perfect. Thinking now, I didn’t download Maps yet. There was an originOS update available and a couple of apps had their own also, like I believe the Camera app. So I'm relieved that updates do come through.
First impressions are positive. It is sleek. Kind of nice how it comes with a screen protector pre installed and it comes with a pretty nice back cover.
I "had to have" this because like I said I love taking photos. Just for reference I have a Sony Xperia 1 ii (for sale on ebay), a Galaxy S21 Ultra (going back to Amazon) and a 12 Pro Max. I shot a lot of photos today with the X60 Pro+. They are all nice. A couple though came out tremendously well. I think to get similar photos I would have had to get my Sony a7C or Sigma fp with a fast 85mm to get the same shot. I for sure would not have gotten the same quality from my other smartphones.
Anyways I don’t think I will try to get the global software on this. Seems like I'll be good.

Hi from Austria perfect Summary i totally agree with you, i am happy with the China version, for that price ~ 750€ you will get nice hardware, OriginOS is also nice, i like the gesture navigation, but im missing google maps location history so much, there is some restriction on China for google services, because china dont want to be tracked by usa google... other brands from china have same issue with location history.
I found in this thread with some fix for rooted phones to enable ROM to use location history:

Hello Everyone.
I am about to buy this phone but still having some doubts because of the OriginOS. I live in New Zealand. Just would like to ask a couple of questions:
- does it allow to install and use Nova Launcher with gestures?
- is this notification bar and settings bar changeable or at least can set up some gestures for that? Otherwise it requires to touch the top edge of the phone which is not perfect for me
- notifications are visible in Always on Display from FB, whats up, non stock phone or messages apps or not at all?
- does anyone use that with company portal and MS Authenticator? and its working fine?
- how is the battery life - roughly SOT?
I will be really grateful for any help!
Thank you!

Since nobody wants to answer, I will, but I don't use X60 pro+. I have IQOO and had x50 pro+ and therefore the answer can't fail a lot.
1. I didn't try Nova, but I installed Star Prime and it works with gestures as long as you don't uninstall original launcher.
2. Not that I'm aware of.
3. Don't use unsecure apps, but the custom dialer and messages are supported on AOD.
4. Don't use work portal, but there is no reason to not work.
5. Battery is good, one day with heavy use, two with moderate.
