If you know a way to make the apps within Good Lock work after upgrading to Android 10, please share. I used Navistar to help me pull down the notifications area. Now I can't.
We all have to wait for new updates. There is nothing we can do, besides an upgrade to Android Pie.
I heard it will be updated this someday. If not this someday, definitely by next someday.

A few days ago I purchased a new SM-P600 and have been getting to know my device. It has downloaded a firmware
update which I have not installed yet. l can't seem to find any comprehensive info on what exactly the new update offers, like what sorts of changes or improvements should I expect? Will the interface look different? Has anyone taken any pictures or are there any tutorials ? l haven't made any changes to the device yet other than downloading some apps. l haven't ever updated or rooted a tablet before, so I want to make sure I don't screw it up. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated.
Are you on kitkat? Of so, it is most likely the lollipop update. You can see reviews and screen shots in this forum. Mixed opinions, but personally, I think it's a very good update.
Updating over the air like you have done is safe. It will not damage any data or files unless you deliberately do a factory reset or the tablet switches off in the middle of the update.

Apparently I have Jelly Bean and it's an update to Lollipop 5.1.1 I'm not concerned about data or anything since I haven't created/stored anything on it yet. Just installed a few basic apps and set up my email.
One of the things I'm encountering reading the threads is that a lot of people have rooted or made changes to their device and I'm wondering how that affects functionality. I'd like to see/read a review from someone that can show how the stock update functions in comparison to what I currently have on it. I just think I should make some decision before I start to get used to this version and to store stuff on it.
Overall I'm happy with it as it functions now. I'm only noticing two issues. It seems to give me battery life of about 5 hours. I have turned off a lot, and turned brightness down, but perhaps there are more things I should be doing to optimize the battery. The other problem is handwriting doesn't want to function with Dolphin browser. Seems to be working in fine in every other app.
Rooting has nothing to do with the update. 5.1.1 is a very major OS update from Jellybean. It has a different UI, and better, more fluid experience (at least for me). If you are an Spen user then there are major improvements, themselves worth the upgrade.
You can root or not, as you wish, whether you update or not. If you want to see what the update looks like, you will find comments, screenshots and videos if you google p601 lollipop
Hi I am new to the phone modding thing and have a few questions before I go and install this on my Moto G4:
Is cellular service just plug and play pretty much? Does it read the sim card and automatically be able to connect?
There are a lot of nightly builds of the rom, do I have to reinstall at any point or does it just update like a rolling release distro?
How does security work with this os? Do these updates keep up with the official supported roms in that area?
I have only used oem android, so I am not aware of the differences in the usage between them, other than Lineage is much more open.
Hi Newbie,
I have had nothing to do with mobile setup. Standard things like phonecalls, sms, mobile data work well. People have issues with more exotic things like VoLTE.
LineageOS usually gets better with every build. So it's a good idea to keep it up to date. In the first days of each month there is a security update released by Google. It makes it whay to LineageOS till the middle of month (much faster than Motorola). So to keep up with security it's enoug to update once a month and skip the other weeklys. Updating is verry easy. LineageOS has a built in updater that does the downloading and flashing.
One big difference to built in Android is the possibility to get rid of Google Apps. I regard them as spy-ware. They are not part of LineageOS, but can optionally be installed. Google PlayStore and PlayServices have many security functions that are good to have for older Android versions. I think, I don't need these functions due to my up-to-date LineageOS.
ok thank you, that sounds great!

Summer survey results have been released. Without gapps I'm member of a small minority. But LOS devs care for us.
Where can i get OTA file for pie and can I manually apply it without wiping all data? Cant wait more, it says update controlled by operator and I dont know will it appear or not.
Get it at Flashtool.net. I advise against updating though. Your phones performance will be degraded by Pie.
and Oreo is more beautiful
Like we say here in Brazil, tasty is tasty, or something like this, lol.
I like it. You should check some videos. I like the performance, except the dialer, but the dialer is a issue that came from Oreo.
Hello, I am trying to keep my 3aXL on android 9. I've tried 10, and my essential mods I want don't work on stock, and I found 10 it's self to be a buggy mess personally. I have already disabled automatic system updates in the developer options, but I also want to disable the prompts that try to pop up right under your finger at random times trying to get you to click update and have no confirm prompt. I have had to completely reflash my phone twice because the prompt just pops up randomly when i'm scrolling through an app or something. If anyone could point me in the right direction to completely disabling updates and prompts it would be a huge help.
Thanks!
Lol, Android 10 is better than 9 in pretty much every way

I know this isn't exactly the answer you want... But... If you root your phone in Android 9 it will not stop the update notifications but it will make the update fail so you will remain on Android 9 no matter what.
As far as actually stopping the notifications you have to remove update services which you cannot do without root and what services i can't say as haven't done this since like Ice cream sandwich. Also almost all custom roms disable upgrade as well.
All that said i agree with the above 10 is better in almost every way and 9 is now very outdated and insecure.

No that's very helpful thank you. I am rooted already. I have been looking around for a thread or guide on how to disable the update services but to no avail. Not sure if i'm just not looking in the right places or searching for the wrong things but if you could give me a run down on how to do so, or point me towards another thread that explains how to do it that would be great. Thanks!

What mods are you trying to use? How long ago did you try Android 10. Compatibility always seems to better with time and Android 10 has been out for 6 months now. Plus, it your mods haven't been updated to be compatible with Android 10, they aren't going to be. They also won't work with Android 11 either. How long are you going to hang on to the outdated (security updates) Android 9? At some point you are going to have to bite the bullet and move on.
As far as Android 10 being a buggy mess, I don't think anyone is going to agree with you.
Opie, I totally understand your plight. I remember I had an exploit and needed to turn off the system prompting me to update for like a year and a half before I figured out the new way of doing things on the new version of Android.
I think the app was called titanium freeze. It was many years ago.
hi everyone ,,,
I want to share my experience with this phone, the hardware is very good but the software is S***, waited for 1st update 3 months, and nothing fixed, second update 3 months and nothing is fixed, ( unexpected crashes, recent app windows lagging very badly, contacts don't show names in miss calls).
contacted support more than once, they don't have any understanding of any issue its like an auto message that tells you to wait for the next update and they don't have any schedule when the update will be released.
we are in Jan 2022 and my latest update is android 11 , October security patch.
I would not recommend this phone for anyone, don't make the mistake that I did.
I am selling this phone ASAP.
Thank you

I agree that this phone hardware is a beast ! The software unfortunately is really bad especially i came from iOS which everybody knows how good they are with their softwares and updates. I already know that these kinds of android phone maker won't have software support as good as S*msung, let alone Ap*le.
However to be honest i don't have all the problems mentioned in your posts other than occasional Nubia launcher crashing (so i switched to using Niagara Launcher). There are lots of third party modification on playstore which can run great thanks to this phone beastly hardware. So i guess i can live with it.
Have you tried installing Global ROM (any one other than the one came with the phone when you buy it)
They dropped new update for EU Rom, i hope NA & Asia ROM gets an update too asap.
Edit**
Nvm update v427 for NA and Asia is available. Gonna try install it.
