Develop Bugs

[Q] Advise on P6

Hi im an average user and i always have readed and followed instructions on xda forums.
Im looking forward to buying one P6 maybe P7 from huawei im amazed about the price specifications of the phones.
I also looked for honor 3C but i dont see it supported by xda-developer forums so i am trying to get some advices in this forum from some users / developers about their experience with huawei phones.
And also why are those phones not listed / supported other than the p6.
Have a good day and any comment is apprecieated.
[edit] Also good stables roms for P6 for everyday use =)

Both phones are excellent for the price, the build quality is very good.
Both P6 and P7 are very similar but for some reason there is no xda development for p7 so it'd that's important go for the p6
They are both beautiful phones!

I'm a quite happy everyday P6 user.
Huawei has recently released android kitkat for P6. The latest model P7 and P6 run now the same android version (kitkat 4.4.2) with the same user interface (Emotion 2.3 UI).
With previous firmware (jelly bean 4.2.2 + Emotion 1.6 UI, firmware U125 and U132) this phone was as solid as a rock. I've recently upgraded my P6 to the latest firmware (kitkat 4.4.2 + Emotion 2.3 UI) and found some minor glitches mostly IMHO related to Emotion UI: icons displayed twice, fixed by changing user interface theme; icon moved after app update. My experience is that Emotion 2.3 UI seems not yet as stable as previous version (1.6) but I could it's minor problems and the phone is definitely usable for an average use and I bet next update will fix these problems. In any case I'm satisfied and won't roll back to previous firmware.
In brief, if you have a P6:
Stock official roms U125 and U132 are excellent. Stay there if you're looking for absolute stability. I could root them easily and install anything I needed.
Latest stock official rom 510 is also very good. Go there if you're looking for latest system improvements. I couldn't root it at the moment it but I didn't try hard.
By the way P7 has a definitely better hardware. As far as I know P7 has:
a better display (higher resolution and pixel density; and this is awesome since P6 display is also excellent, I really love it);
a better main camera (13 megapixels vs 8);
a mounstrous front camera (8 megapixels vs 5);
twice the internal storage (16GB vs 8);
a better battery (2500 aAh vs 2000);
a faster processor;
maybe more sensors.
It's only a little a little larger (wider, taller, thicker and ... 4 grams heavier).
It's up to you to decide if the hardware improvements of P7 over P6 are worth the bigger price.

I feel also that the p7 is the option to go but i dont see it on the forum section and i wouldnt want some phone that will not be supported by this awesome team of xda developers. Since i dont have time to develop and test deploys for custom modifications
Have you tried cyanogenmod in the p6?
Thanks in advance for reading

P7 is better than P6 for sure. And some sort of developer space will come when there are more P7 users (and some developer like Surdu would request for it ).
I use a p6 and not really in a hurry to buy P7. Im waiting to see how Huawei's upcoming flagships Honor 6 and Ascend D3 turns out to be, and also strongly suspect Huawei will release a Kirin 920 chip version of P7.

No, I've not tried any custom ROM on p6, not yet.
As far as p7 is concerned, since it's certainly going to become one of the most sold huawei models, there's no reason why it shouldn't be supported by this forum once some developer will put his/her hands on it.

Oreo in December

I read today that Huawei plans the roll out of Oreo for the Porsche Design in December. In case of any bugs, it might be January.

Any Oreo Beta link for Mate 9 PD?

Can you share where you found this info?
It's good to know that we're not being forgotten.

I read it here: https://androidworld.nl/nieuws/huawei-mate-9-android-oreo-december/

I've just seen on funky Huawei that they've got the beta build of Oreo!

Has anyone had the official Oreo update?
Apparently it's being shared in Chinese versions but I thought the PD version was one and the same?

Nothing yet

Just bit the bullet and upgraded to Oreo using Funky Huawei and it's really good!
Smoother and it seems a little faster!
Now hopefully it can connect to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously!!

I can't see any reference to the projection feature as yet but the phone seems a lot more stable.
Barclays and Barclaycard apps still saying the phone is rooted but all my other banking apps, including android pay work fine.

The Oreo update is visible in Firmware Finder, but it's not yet approved for my phone.

You need to be patient... Because a10 is not fully stable.... You need to wait because once its out, it is surely stable on EU

You are right, but we waited for more than half a year now

Other companies also experience it. Not all. Though we are android one but afaik we are the only sd665 who has a10... Development really is a pain not to mention pandemic involved. At least they are doing something...

Funny I got an update of 32.69M.
Not much difference.

Anyone has a link for the rom?

If coming from 10 thats is small. Because it is only bug fixes. E.g. return of xiaomi branded sensors so fp icon appears when picking up phones and EIS now works

Odd. The update for me appears as a 1.33 GB.

Update is 32,69mb for me (already on android 10 april update). Gonna report back if I find any fixes/bugs.
edit: as expected it didn't fix system wide long exposure photos limit set to 0,3 s max.
If they don't see it as a bug but a "feature reduction" then am gonna go china and make them eat raw bats.

There are plenty of new phones with SDM665 running Android 10 just fine, the Motorola G line and Nokia 5.3 do come to mind. SDM665 is nothing but a slightly tweaked SDM660, which is running Android 10 just fine in plenty of other devices. My Mi A2 runs Android 10 just great! (not with Xiaomi's stock ROM, though...)
The pandemic is just the latest excuse in a long-list of excuses. Did they have a pandemic last year when they effed up the Mi A2 upgrade? Did they have a pandemic when they effed up the Mi A1 upgrades? Let's just face facts, Xiaomi doesn't give a rats arse about the Android One phones. They just (barely) fulfill their contractual obligations so that Google doesn't force them out of the certification.

Well there are things done right and some things are just hacks that when people use both they are the same thats why sometimes custom rom fixes first. Well another thing android one is less profitable than miui

Arrived at the global version with many fixes. FP is running very well , EIS it is now available again , still the shutter speed is not fixed. I am very interesting to see the update on EU roms , i expect a bug free version there

new update is pretty good for me...

Yes, we shouldnt count on it, but lets hope nubia put more effort in this time around, their updates and fixes for RM5g is quite good allready for the android 10 rom. They have fixed almost all bugs and issues the users have reported.

Nubia technical staff has assured us that 11 will come to RM5G.
Also, a phone has been pooled by RM5G users for a good dev and he has started working on AOSP for the phone.

Will there Be a Real Android 11 Update for Mate 20 X?

Hi guys,
I received emui 11 today. Its a great improvement but its still andriod 10 based. Will there be an android 11 update for the mate 20 x?
.

@Deanro
This article says it will
Update 23 (November 21)​
IST 01:30 pm: Huawei is has begun rolling out the EMUI 11 beta for the Nova 5 Pro, Mate 20, Mate 20 RS Porsche Design, Mate 20X (4G), Mate 20X (5G), and MediaPad M6 series to those who successfully registered for the internal beta program in China.

From what I read the next major update will be Harmony OS. And not clear if that is built on Android 11 or not, or if it will be offered for the 20X or not.

nope, not gonna happen. the issue is that Huawei as a whole so far is not planning to update ANY of its phones to android 11 due to them being cut off from the inner dev circle of android. they only have access to AOSP sources now, just like the rest of us regulars. there are literally no huawei phones with android 11 on the market, absolutely none.
one more time for ppl who do not seem to understand this: EMUI 11 is based on Android 10.
EMUI 11 is NOT Android 11. EMUI and Android are two different things!
btw, HarmonyOS is just Android 10 with a skin on top, just like EMUI...
Link: https://telecoms.com/508506/huaweis-harmony-os-revealed-to-be-an-android-fork-what-a-surprise/
with all that being said, i do agree that EMUI 11 as a whole is a nice step forward from EMUI 10. system snappiness and functionality just feels more rounded and better than before!
oh and btw OP, ive answered this question several times before @emui 11 is based on Android 10. but yeah, "just trolling", right? welcome to reality, took u long enough

Hi,
So youre saying no huaweis will ever be updated to andriod 11. Maybe there could be a change in the future who knows.
But honestly emui 11 is a very good update. It fixed noticeable bugs which shouldnt have existed in previous iterations before 11 which says little about huawei as a company that keeps up with fixes. Its late to the party as usual.
As to your trolling in the past the mods deleted your content for violating rules. Dont blame anyone but yourself. Time to grow up.

hmmm, right.

just as before i was providing information on our device and its software / capabilities, which ive backed up with screenshots.
i.e.: - EMUI 11 is still based on Android 10
- EMUI 11 fixes lots of bugs and improves upon system snappiness vs. EMUI 10
- Huawei updates come first to chinese models like my EVR-AL00, global models like the L29 come much later (btw, there is no "Singapore made" Huawei phones, they just use global variants here )
- AOD is not necessary to vastly improve SOT on Mate 20 X, you just have to know how to properly tweak your system. if you don't, then naturally you battery life will be much worse.
before you did not want to believe me, now "suddenly" you come to the same conclusions. you are right, time to grow up, please heed your own advice and stop reporting people trying to help out only trolls do such things.
feel free to go back to my previous posts and read up on all the others things uve missed while denouncing and ignoring me. you might learn something interesting!

Sorry about that I got confused too, I thought Emui 11=Android 11 but it's Android 10.

Surrrrre..
Your screen shots did not provide accurate info as 2 people including myself had clearly proven.
The emui 11 I call '10 clone' has become my fav updated "version" especially when it serves up noticeable speed with apps not to mention improvements upon the task manager which was a total disaster under 10.
AOD has been shown to save battery more so then when youre constantly checking your phone for notifications.
