All,
So my Note 7 has gone back and i now have a oneplus 3.
I am currently on stock Oneplus Fw 3.2.7.
There are a couple of things i don't like - the contacts and phone dialler screens are bloody awful - especially the contacts WTF.
With Samsung there is so much more detail on these screens and it is useful. Also there is no call or message blocking which again I use.
What 3rd party ROM would offer these features rather than loading App's
I did the same thing, moving from note 7 to Oneplus 3. Flashed resurrection remix on the first day and haven't looked back. It's got call blocking and a bunch of other nice features that the Note 7 didn't.

How does the screen of the one plus three compare to the note 7?

They're both Samsung AMOLED screens but the note 7 screen is QHD while the OnePlus 3 is 1080p (mostly noticeably side by side or if using VR).
Also, Samsung tends to keep the brightest AMOLED displays for themselves so the note 7 likely has a much higher top max brightness level.

Screen is not comparable in my opinion...Used Note 4, 5, 7 and currently OP 3...Note 5 and Note 7 screens are way better...Auto brightness in OP 3 is little cranky and makes it dull...but performance and dev support of OP 3 is amazing...eagerly waiting for Note 8 which is an year away
The Oneplus 3 screen is good, not as good as the Note 7, but that's to be expected really.

Me too.. I have moved on from my note 7 and now using oneplus 3.. The thing I dun like is why the ringtones and notifications sound are link together.. Is the anyway that I can unlink it? I heard xposed unlink ringtones and notification sound is not working for oneplus 3.. I'm currently using firmware 3.27...

Some custom ROMs like Resurrection Remix I guess has this setting...
Flashed resurrection remix as soon as I got it. I don't think I'd like it nearly as much if I couldn't run some variant of Cyanogenmod on it.

I am using the True phone dialer which is pretty customizable and UI is friendly as well. Just 1 point is that the app is only free for first 7 days....
Isn't the google dialler available for download? I picked up the apk from somewhere a couple of months ago. Doesn't this identify the caller/spam?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer&hl=en_GB
Need the apk as this doesn't work on the OP3

Hi,
Any honor user can answer following questions.
1. How's the battery life after Oreo update(system on time)?
2.Heating issue while using camera?
3. bootloader can be unlocked?
Which one to consider to buy Redmi Note 5 pro or Honor 8 pro?
Currently am using OnePlus 2, so looking for mobile which doesn't having heating issue and has better battery backup.
Honor 8 pro users need your inputs.
To answer your questions!! Redmi note 5 pro and honor 8 pro are both in different segments... If raw performance and camera are to be taken into account...honor 8 pro wins by a lot...as for sot i can pull about 6.5 hrs with a mix of 4g and wifi and about 7hrs on wifi...if i game heavily it obviously goes down to around 5hrs 45 m8ns or so... You probably don't need a camera review it is really good... Bootloader can be unlocked still but as Huawei have mentioned they will close the servers after two months or so... When using camera for more than say 10-12 mins the place near camera module does feel warm i would not say it heats up... You can't keep the camera on for a prolonged period if you're not recording because the camera turns off and the heat goes away!! I'll attach a screenshot of the sot for ya!!

Thanks buddy for your reply....
i noticed we lost the call record feature...
For me Honor 8 Pro Oreo (EMUI 8) did not bring a positive experience.
1. Camera is good but the top edge of the phone does heat up quite a bit if you're clicking continuously.
2. Battery life is really poor in my opinion. Apparently, the Oreo-based EMUI 8 totally shipwrecked the battery backup, at least the C675 (India) variant. I can barely manage 6.5 hours of SoT with regular usage, with around 10% charge left. I am having to charge my phone more than once in 24 hours. Also, the phone becomes warm randomly.
There are also quite a number of bugs that came with it.
I recommend you do visit the Honor Club forum here: https://club.hihonor.com/in/lead-the-pack-honor-8-pro.309 and hang around there a little before you take your decision.

I am not satsified with the honor 8 Pro device. Specifications are good but it seems it doesn't work at its most. So i prefer to look for other choices such as honor v10, one plus 6, or stock Android

Hey.
Can anyone help me in deciding which phone to get. My daily usage is mostly mails and instant messaging along with maybe 30 minutes of games. Multi tasking is what I need and my current phone heats up a lot while gaming, so please mention any shortcomings of the 5Z. I have been waiting for the 6GB RAM variant of the MAX PRO for a month, still no ETA.
Should I just go ahead and pull the trigger on the 5Z? or Should I wait for the M1 PRO 6GB? I do like stock android and I've read that the 5z RAM management is not good. Please advise.
Thanks and Cheers!
The 5z is way better.
My OP6 was destroyed by water so I've bought a 5z about 3 days back.
It's mind blowing for the price.
Great battery.
Almost minute warming as compared to OP6.
Standby battery drain of only 01.00% (yes, One%) over 8 hours at night. OP6 had over 7-8%.
Amazing speakers dual.
Not a heavy UI. ZenUI 5.0 is very streamlined.
And the features that are there are very useful.
And the AI does play a role in the background which you notice in small details. And it's supposed to get better with use.
I think between the OP6. And the 5Z it will essentially be about your choice between an IPS and Amoled screen. Many people prefer Amoled but I personally prefer IPS because it is more true to life.

I'll wait until the end of this month and see if they launch the 6GB MAX PRO M1. else I'll pull the trigger on the 5Z.
Thanks!
Actually, why not just get the Zenfone 5? Sounds like the most perfectly balanced phone in both price and performance.

yes, get the ZE620KL (Zenfone 5 2018) instead
it have the look and feel of 5Z
but same proc as MaxProM1
performance is better (the OS is fluid)
just the battery is fewer but the QuickCharge always supports u
I ended up buying a 6GB 5Z since I figured I'd treat myself after not buying a new phone for 4 years.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
The Zenfone 5 doesn't work well in USA. The signal ain't the greatest.

I have been trying to chnage the default launcher to another launcher such as Action, TFS, Smart etc... However, each time I swap the launcher to test out the best one to use with the right DPI settings, I have noticed that each launcher that would normally work perfectly fine will then stop functioning with error messages of various sorts and even the recover, reset settings of the respective launchers don't fix this problem. When the DPI of the device is reverted to the original 423, even then the launcer refuses to work.
I am just wondering if there is a Huawei protective service that kicks in to prevent any other launcher apart from the default Huawei launcher taking over the default settings. I have uninstalled and resinstaleld my chosen launcher, cleared data, cache etc but still no fix. As a result, annoyed with what happened, I had to factory reset my device and now only installed one launcher without trying other launchers and the problem is fixed.
As a final observation, as a new user of the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G, I really think Huawei needs to overhaul its default launcher by incorporating a number of great features from the Asus Launcher or a combination of others such as the great TSF Launcher, Smart Launcher and the Action Launcher/Pixel Edition. As someone who used a P8 Max back in the days, I have not seen any significant improvements since 2011, which is a great shame for a company like Huawei. Recently, switched from the Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra and I do miss a lot of features of the Asus Launcher. I guess I won't be heard by Huawei but hope somoene will help to resolve these annoyances I have with my new device.
The Huawei Mate 20 X 5G behavior is similar to the Chinese rom, you can't change the default launcher.

Im in agreement with your Emui and features lacking comments. They even went as much to basically copy One UI 1.0 yet they didn't copy it's features, just the looks.

I have N29 global 5g version- installed nova and set it as default... No any problem.
Also no problems here on EVR-N29 (C431).
It seems we will not see beta program... And really stable android 10 is seriously late.
Many midrange devices got it, and Samsung s10 5g also.

Is this launcher issue on EVR-N29 Huawei Mate 20X 5G is CONFIRMED?
Coz I already got the EVR-AN00 Chinese Version and plan to sell it just because of this annoying thing I can't set it to Nova Launcher.
Someone please confirm this.
Thank you.
On N29 you can always go to nova launcher, I use it all the time. After every update it goes to huawei home, but you can change if want

If you are running Android 10 on EVR-N29, which is what I am doing now, you will have no issues with the launcher defaulting. When I posted the original thread I was running Android 9.1 and now upgraded to 10 and hopefully EMUI 10.1 soon. All is good overall and would highly recommend upgrade as this will alleviate most of the reported issues on the international version. I am assuming EVR-L29, the 4g Version would also behave in a similarly smooth way if upgraded to Android 10.. I doubt if the Chinese versions would run fine as I think it is not possible to change the launcher using the settings. Perhaps someone else can confirm.

It is actually the EMUI 10.1 update by Huawei. Not sure if the version of Android changes slightly to a version 10.x but we shall find out.
Here are the expected feautures for the Mate 20X and other recent Huawei devices:
The EMUI 10.1 brings MeeTime, Multi-view Conference, Multi-screen, Hands-free video calling, Huawei Share, OneHop, Cast+ Wireless Projection, Sound Booster, Cross-Device Photo Gallery, Celia Voice Assistant, New Themes, Multi-Window, Multi-Device Control Panel, Fast Performance, Security and Privacy.

You can also check on YouTube and other places for videos of how the UI will look.

Yes, I totally agree that the battery life on the Mate 20X (in particular the EVR-N29 5G Model) is very poor. Not sure if the new update will improve battery life but I really hope that it will. My previous Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra had slightly higher capacity but had much better battery management. Huawei needs to get this right urgently.
Huawei phones need to stop being just about good camera tech. They need to improve the UI, battery and some other basics that they could easily learn from Asus. A brand I don't really like due to poor customer service but really admire their efforts to produce usable and well thought out products.

Whats so confusing is those claiming to get 9 hours sot on the 20x. But many more still claim poor battery. I dont know what to make of this. On my samsung a70 with 4500 mah I get 5 - 6 hours sot and 2- 3 days standby time.
What are your sot and standby time on your mate 20x?

The short of a long answer is that if you are happy NOT to have a 5G phone yet then to address the battery issue I would recommend the 4G EVR-L29 model which has many advantages such as the higher battery, proper LOUD dual speakers and the headphone jack. The 5G model does not have these and when I run on 5g where I get reception, battery life is even worse. I think the best part of the 5g model is just the 256GB memory, 5g and the40 watt charging which the 4g International model does not have. (256gb available only on the China Version of the 4G Model)
In my experience, even with very minimal use the 5g model will require charging at least once per day but the 4g model will definitely last longer than a day with minimal use. I think the problem lies with the display, the Balong 5000 5G MultiMode chipset and crucially poor battery mamagement of these systems on this device. Today with around 1hr of use at 50% brightenss, battery depleted by around 30%. Which to me is not acceptable. I only used it for browsing and typing.
Do you really willing to spend over $800 for oneplus?
Does anyone know how is the oneplus ui experience any ads, junk or great never use oxygen os ?
does one plus offer built in voice mail or just app?
us signal quality and updates?
Does anyone use oneplus before ?
I've switched from the Pixel 5 to the 9 Pro and forgot quite how much smaller the Pixel screen is to other flagships. The phone is tiny in comparison.
OP9P doesn't seem to have Visual Voicemail which my Pixel did have, but other functions like VoLTE and VoWiFi are working just fine.
I personally prefer oxygen os over everything else. I used several devices recently including pixel 5 and s20fe 5g and i ended up with the 9 Pro.

I've just come from a gp5 and got to say oxygenos is better for me no lag at all and more options I've stock
Oxygen OS keeps getting better for me on my OnePlus devices!
Oneplus 9 Pro versus pixel 5 is a pointless comparison in my opinion. Even the OnePlus 7 Pro is better than a pixel 5 in my opinion.
i personally prefer P5 because Color OS one OP9 sucks.
Doesn't have double tap power to quick start camera
And battery on pixel 5 last way longer than OP9

You've come to those conclusions very quickly, battery needs time but I do agree the Pixel 5 has a good battery.
Regarding the Double Click for camera? Have you got the phone and checked? Or just spouting crap?
