Develop Bugs

Ask us anything : Official YU Response Thread

Hello Guys !
Nice to see the activity down here at XDA.
Let me quickly mention here that I, and @DooMLoRD have recently joined YU as Developer Relations and Community Managers.
(I don't know how many of you know either of us, but lot's of <3 to all those who have used either of ours works on custom ROMs and Kernels before on XDA)
We do have our own support forum at http://forums.yuplaygod.com, which you can feel free to visit and be a part of. We are running many contests from time to time on our forum as well .
I would ask any of the moderators, to please stick this thread if possible.
If you have any questions to us directly, please ask here. We will try to share as much with you, as soon as possible. (Of course some info cannot be shared, like if you ask us to tell about the next phone we are planning and don't bug us with update ETAs )
Regards, and a Happy New Year from the YU Team

Good to know you guys are working for YU.
I use Xperia Pro, so I have come across your work in several threads, I now expect lots of developments for this device(Hopefully my next).
I have a few questions
1. Will YU(no pun intended :laugh provide Wi-Fi Direct options in forthcoming updates?
2. Does this device come pre rooted/what about bootloader?
3. Any info about device availability? Will there be sufficient amount of devices for the upcoming flash sale?

I have a question, will YU be available outside India in the future? I'm from Europe,and i'm very interested in this device..

Queries
When will it get Lollipop ....
Give me a Detailed Specs including. sensor list
Will it support Quick charge 2.0
will it have double tap to wake
Does it ship with Recovery by itself
Can we use. Bootloader unlock oem straight away ..Or i have to request for code with Imei no.
Will it have other white soft touch back cover. sold in amazon
What are. The exact terms And conditions. applied******

1. WiFi direct is already present on the software that will launch will the phone. And it will remain present over future updates
2. The device will not come pre rooted, but if users do root it, we will provide the same terms of warranty to them.
We/Cyngn will provide a debuggable kernel from our side.
fastboot oem unlock command can unlock bootloader, you do not need a key from our website. Exactly like it is done on Nexus models.
3. There will be multiple flash sales. The units going up on sale on each iteration will be limited, but the numbers will ramp up over time.

Right now, for the first couple of sales as much as I am aware, Amazon.in can ship only to Indian cities.
As far as the company YU is considered, we definitely have global ambitions, and we are looking at how we can reach out the people outside the subcontinent.
Whether global shipping will be available on future sales of the same model, or we will start going global with future models is something that is still under works.

Please refer to the http://yuplaygod.com website, and the Hardware section of http://forums.yuplaygod.com for technical details.
Many of your queries are already present on them, and if not, you'll definitely get answers if asked on the forums.
Double Tap2Wake is present. It ships with Cyanogen Recovery (NOT CWM). (ref: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery-cm )

"Playing God", Really? YU need to produce a Real Kick Ass Device before you presume to Play God.
The YUreka is not that device. It's cheap and that's it. Nothing Original. Cyanogen did not do anything different other that new Icons all else is the same as Oneplus. Come on Men even the YU Logo was Taken From SONY's PlayStation's. YU remind me of the Amazon Fire Phone. They too talked a lot and then did not sell enough.
Come up with something original and really innovative and stop presuming to play god.

If it doesn't. Have Magnetometer sensor then how will GPS ""Navigation"" work ??
if it does work how will it point directions ...Street view ...
I want to use offline Compass App
I want to record Directions while Taking Photo sphere !!!!
Can any 1 confirm it using All specs checking Apps like Cpu Z Or is the Magnetometer Sensor Driver missing in CM 11
Cool Pad F2 SD version shows that it has E compass in a shipping Company 's. Website

As you says warranty not void if we rooted our phone so my question is can we get*regular official OTA after the root?

AFAIK, If you are on official cm11s build then you will get further OTA updates even after root..
but you will probably loose root.

The YU Yureka is missing most of the sensor support that is present on the Coolpad F2 including e-compass (just check youtube reviews showing sensor support for both phones). So it won't be showing any directions what so ever...

The Coolpad F2 has it, while the YU Yureka doesn't have it. So the hardware is not identical.

This phone seemed stellar in most way until Asus announced its Zenfone 2.
So just out of curiosity, can you please address these queries below:
1. As of Zenfone 2, due to 64-bit architecture 4GB RAM was possible on device and hence the advantage. Yu also has a 64-bit architecture SoC, but what is the advantage?
2. How does Snapdragon 615 perform against Intel Atom Z3580 (on the Zenfone 2)?
3. Yureka is the first model from YU, are there any other model in the works (probably another re-brand)?
4. The phone goes sale on 13th Jan, means as soon as order is kept it can ship immediately?

Confirmation email?
Forums.yuplaygod.com
I have waited 2 days and tried 2 different ids, none of them got any confirmation email.
I have developed for lg optimus l 3, micromax canvas music and micromax unite 2. I would like to join the forum to support the development for yureka.

Battery Comparison???
How is the battery life when compared with Moto G 2nd gen and also battery drain connected to sony smartwatch 2 whole of the time with data pack on and some litle fair usage??

So, wifi direct option is there in the rom.. I thought this phone didn't have wifi direct . Isn't it a hardware limitation ?

EMUI5.0+Android7.0 Alpha Test Is Rolling Out in China

Just saw the announcement thread on HUAWEI Chinese forum, they are recruiting alpha testers for EMUI 5.0.
Following model users can participate in the alpha test:
BLN-AL10
BLN-TL10
BLN-TL00
Maybe users from overseas can enjoy EMUI 5.0 in very near future.

Should be issues with network, I'm accessing it fine at this time.

group seems to be closed as they might have got overwhelmed response within China users. I tried couple of days back but couldn't go through as site is closed
if anyone captures the OTA, please share as official Emui 5 will come in Q2 only..

I doubt that there would be any early release or a leaked EMUI 5. Some users in China flashed a so called "Russian" version leaked EMUI 5 image and face some serious issues, like cannot turn on/off, app cannot start. Currently the only solution is to bring your phone to customer services...
So I suggest anyone out there not flash any ROM not from an authorized HUAWEI source.

Got my Honor 7X, love the phone.
as far as development is concerned it all depends on how many devs it attracts and since XDA is getting sponsorship from them then i think it will be a magnet for devs.
also throw me any questions about the phone.. would love to answer more..

Project Treble is not entirely dependent on android 8
though i know even google claims that treble is supported on 8.0 onwards
but as far as we know :
For those of you who have followed the custom ROM scene for years, you might already be aware with how significant this news is. XDA Recognized Developer OldDroid called this revelation a “breakthrough” in custom AOSP ROM development. Thanks to Project Treble support, for example, I was able to boot a nearly fully functioning Android 8.0 Oreo ROM on the Huawei Mate 9—a device that until now hadn’t even seen a single AOSP Android Nougat ROM.

so a (partial working) oreo build was compiled for a phone which didnt even see Nougat release.. its all on the partition and devs going forward with excitement leading to better support and faster releases..

You are right

is anyone can create custom rom

I want to buy a fone. Any suggestions how much time to recieve custom roms....

dont ask for ETA, I also ordered one Honor 7x too

When a phone is brand new with absolutely NO Roms out yet I'm pretty sure the whole "Don't ask for ETAs" rule doesn't count. Relax. Please be honest with yourself.
This device will only do good (For some people) if it gains dev support. Kirin is closed source from what I understand so development sucks when compared to Honor/Huawei devices with SD chips so inquiring minds will want to know.
I'm ready for an upgrade from my Honor 5X myself but can't pull trigger due to lack of support for 6X or 7X. Honor is good about updates but I need more control over my device (Root, hotspot, and Roms) past the 2 year update standard. I would go to xaiomi redmi unlocked but their US device lacks 1 of the LTE bands I need on AT&T.
Plus I actually really love my Honor 5x device and respect the company for their attempts to make affordable higher end device and come to XDA with so much support on launch of company. I won't for get that but I still need a device soon.

Android 10 Upgrade

According to Xiomi, Mi A2 lite won't get Android 10
Is it true ?

Please at least make an effort and look at other Android 10 threads on the forum before making the exact same posts as said threads.
Here's the full lowdown:
- Xiaomi have to provide Android 10 to our phone as part of the Android One program.
- We don't know when we'll get it.
- The Xiaomi support agents definitely don't either.
- It has been shown many times that the support agents either don't know about the Android One program, the concept of Xiaomi doing ROMs that aren't MIUI or even the existence of the Mi A2 Lite Vs the Mi A2 (which are separate things).
- Please for the love of any and every God, either stop asking here and the Xiaomi support about it and use a custom ROM or just sit and wait and be patient like the rest of us. Thank you.

Stop worry or ask about Android 10 guys.
I agree with the first comment.

xiaomi should fire those customer support. what's the use of having a customer support channel that doesn't provide accurate information?

I also think that having a customer support that has little knowledge about its product is leaving a bad impression to us, at least they should foward our question to someone who can help more...
Altough i am thankfull for security updates, my phone is still working great, and android 10 will come, but when, no one knows yet...

It's because the job of the customer support is to help out with base level questions about a device, and Xiaomi's support will mainly be focused on and assuming the question is about MIUI rather than anything else since that's their primary version of Android that 90% of their phones run. This level of customer support wouldn't know a single thing about unannounced device updates, primarily because this kind of information is just never divulged to them in the first place. I wouldn't be surprised if most of what they come out with is just pure guesswork because they don't actually know.

After the confirmation from Xiaomi and seeing screenshots from Geekbench, we can say that Mi A2 lite update is in beta state and would probably be releasing update in the end of Q2 2020 (April).

What confirmation from Xiaomi? Again, the customer support don't actually know when it'll come out. Those Geekbench screenshots were for custom ROMs, not the official update.
This said, I agree that it's probably in beta and will be out in Q1.

Which rule forces Xiaomi for Q1? I cant see any rule for Q1.
I think Xiaomi forgot us and for the Android 10 update thing they still didnt even started to work on it.
But i have big hope for 2020 Q4. We will get Android 10 update with Mi A4’s Android 11 update.

Why would they be custom ROMs? Custom Android 10 ROMs were available since long ago for our device, why would've notebookcheck wrote an article about it just now?
We might get just a sec. patch now, but it'll be out soon, I agree on that.
