Hey all,
Got my brand new Mate 20 X yesterday with an immediate update to fix Netflix (Widevine L3), after the update DRM Info showed widevine was L1, Netflix was showing in HD. But this morning when I woke up my device looked like it restarted due to another update overnight to fix the camera filters/AI issues or something. Checking Netflix now there is no longer a HD logo next to any of the HD series and Widevine has now been reverted back to L3. Can anyone help me with this please! My model is the L29 6/128GB purchased from WondaMobile
Very strange. What's software the build number?

Right after that. Try to change the phone location, maybe the update is not yet in your country.

I also can't stream Netflix in HD.
Edit: I know it show's HDR but its not in HD at all. Maybe like 720p

Sounds like what I had.
Search on Netflix for "Test Patterns", pick any episode, pinch the screen so it shows ALL of the picture and at the top right you'll see the real resolution.
When I had the problem it was something like 950 x 540.
The fix for me was quite straight forward, just clear cache and data, run Netflix, sign in again and it was fine.

Mine won't update to that. Still says my phone is up to date.... 9.0.0.126(C00E120R1P17)
Hopefully this update fixes the launcher problem so that we don't have to try to use a work around to use another launcher.

DRM info from play store scroll down after you run it and it will say L3 or L1
AL00 still 9.0.0.126 and no update

It's L1 is that the right one
Yeah. Can also confirm L1 is working as of the latest update.
I have the update and 'widevine' is now indeed L1 but Netflix is still L3. If you go into Netflix, More, App Settings, About - you will see some device info and under ESN there is a load of stuff and it contains 'L3' - am I reading this right to indicate that Netflix is still blocked from HD content?
How do I check in Netflix as to what content I am playing ?
so now the Chinese version is also L1?
If so, what are the pros of the global version?

Got this too on my AL00. Was interested in the 'Instant Projection' feature but can't see any settings or other options regarding this. Phone still has 'Easy Projection' but I was expecting to see something new.
Does your phone show anything new on this? Have you used this feature yourself?

Not really used it but if you go setting and start typing easy projection you can set it to wireless
Thanks for quick reply. Yes always had that 'easy projection' option but was expecting to see something new. Obviously not going to happen
Seems Google News feed has been disabled. Swiping right no longer brings News up.

Guys has the EVR-L29 received the 9.1 update yet. Im still on 9.0.0.207 and when ia check for updates it says my phone is up to date?

I just got this phone today and found out that it could not play anything in Netflix in HD. In "test patterns", it only maxes out at 540p with a really low bit rate.
I have done numurous research on different versions of Netflix, but none really worked, not even the modded ones for the Poco phone F1 originally.
The Redmi note 8 pro has widevine L1 and is supposed to play Netflix in HD with no problem, but it couldn't. Anyone has a solution to this problem? And would this problem be solved? I really don't want to wait like how the Poco phone users waited 4 months for that widevine update.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe with Kodi and Netflix addon?

What are those?? I never heard of it
Kodi is one of the best mediaplayer...(previously called xbmc)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.kodi&hl=en_US
It allows plug-in that brings new features...
Here are more infos About the plug-in.

As I haven't Netflix account, I can't test...
Tried Netflix through Kodi, still only got 540 resolution.. even though I checked 4k etc.
Any solutions other than that?
We really need to get more people to know about this problem so the developers could fix this asap, is a serious problem
How did you check the resolution? I want to test mine

I think it's a chipset related issue, because of Mediatek compatibility.

Oh okay. I have actually posted something there but not much response up till now...
why i can't stream hd content on my Redmi note 8 pro on netflix and amazon prime as well as on hotstar.... And why it is showing widewine l1 support in drm info if it can't play hd content..... Is there any fix for it or any info about when it will get fixed.... Is it an hardware issue or a software issue ???
It is a software issue. Xiaomi said it would get fixed when the device receives Android 10 update.
It should be available with Android 10 update whenever time comes. Mind you, this doesn't mean Netflix HD will magically become available, but it's a start.

Edit: if y'all still haven't found it here's an article you can read over

A while ago I saw this being posted in any of the groups.

Might be worth checking it out, since it allows content to be played without a certified device.

"Expectations" sounds for me like a dead letter.
Hii
I wanted to ask if there is a way to fix the below Issue I am having with the red magic 5g global edition
When I screen shot and click share button it always replies back fail to share.
The Phone App the cal log is showing from old to new like the old is on top and new on bottom, for me that's weird I know the latest phone call should be on top not the oldest call.
Nextflix is showing for me always in SD not HD that's weird on my wife iPhone it's showing in HD

Yes, unfortunately widevine level for RM5G problems can't be fixed via software and obviously it'll be herculean task to ask everyone to send in their devices.
So, Nubia is looking forward to fixing that issue in upcoming devices including the S version.
Maybe you can get a modded Netflix app that will display HD despite the device's widevine level
