New lockscreen scenes and updates

Amazon is really busy this month. If you type ;dx and press search in search field, Amazon device client platform will start. Inside OTA dashboard you can find status messages. Today they released updates to lockscreen, three days ago they released update to browser (twice this month), they also upgraded FireFly framework and App store during this month. Nice

I currently have 32 lockscreens on my two Fire Phones and would like to know which are the new ones, that you mentioned that have been released today??
Concerning the Silk Browser, I would like to know if you have noticed something new or if it works any better?
Could you please post the version number of this latest Silk Browser released by Amazon three days ago?

Thanks chalx for the quick reply and for the pictures of the new Lockscreens!
However as I said before, I only have 32 lockscreens, and unfortunately I can not find none of the following six new ones:
Beach Combing
Bushido
Skate Park
Gramophone
Turbine
The last in the Picture... Blue Color (name not visible)
Hope that Amazon will release them in next days.

There is actually 8 new scenes but two couldn't fit my screen. I guess they are releasing update gradually.

I'm really waiting for the 4.4 music update for the radio stations. Wish I could sideload.

I entered to the OTA Dashboard and downloaded and installed the updates, but any new lock screen scene appears

After latest OTA I can't wake my phone sometime. I've changed lockscreen scene with custom lockscreen wallpaper and now testing. For now phone is working fine but its early.

Waiting now for two days for the new 8 Screenlocks, but none of them have arrived yet
Hope that Amazon will release them soon!:fingers-crossed:

I went to "Settings > Device > Install system updates" yesterday and the new lock screen updates appeared and installed
(but I still hate lock screens )

updated system apps this month - amazon store, kindle and speech.

Sorry, can you elaborate here. How is it not possible? Do you mean an alternative launcher can't force itself as the default, and therefore runs fine but as soon as you press the home button Leanback kicks in again? Or do you simply mean the likes of HALauncher no longer appears as a Leanback tile once installed? It will be easy to fix the latter.
Either way I'll simply do what I do now once Marshmallow is released, namely freeze Leanback launcher and remove it from the equation. Awful thing which offers little to nothing in the way of customisation. I'm surprised it hasn't got an Apple logo on it, like most things Google do these days.

after installing the latest Android launcher you can install other launchers like HALAUNCHER and you can open it but you cannot set it as default launcher when pressing home button

Pixel C and Netflix

So I've owned my Pixel C since it came out, and have been a netflix user since that was made available in AU.
Its always been fine, but in the past week, when playing any show, the screen goes white, and flickers.
Youtube, and local files are all fine.....
Havent bothered to contact netflix yet, Anyone experienced this? Have reinstalled, cleared data, etc. No dice
Stock Pixel C, no mods.

I encourage you to contact them.
I did it over the weekend, and they asked for a short video and asked a few questions. They admitted that the issue lied on their end, as they selectively release updates to a small subset of devices/users to test issues before they go wider - think beta. I think the Pixel C got picked up in this beta and that they will roll out a fix shortly. I'd need to keep updating the app to wait for rectification.

Running Android O DP4, Netflix is working fine.

I upgrade to current Android O 8.0.0 and Netflix is scrambling some, but not all, videos, I get a fraction of a second of full screen then it goes scrambled. I downloaded latest from APK mirror, tried clear cache, clear data, uninstall reinstall, same problem. For example season 1 episode 1 of House of Cards.

I am having the exact same problem. Worked fine up to Android O Beta DP 3. DP4 introduced said problem. I had expected the issue to be resolved prior to official Oreo, but sadly not.

I searched around to fix this myself, and seems I need to report it to NetFlix, but all the guides end up practically nowhere in reality. On the Pixel C Android NetFlix app there is no "report" button, I click to support and it goes to browser, which does not allow me to point to a video.
I can wait for this to be fixed, I have lots of non-NetFlix media I can watch.
Amazon Prime works fine! So seems, NetFlix buggy app on Pixel C is going to cause me to watch some Amazon Prime stuff instead.

I used to have the Netflix app on my Pixel C, but it is gone now. Additionally, it can't be installed from the play store. If I try to install it via the play store web app, when I select my Pixel C it says "Not compatible with this device."
It appears Netflix way of fixing the above problem was to disallow people from using Netflix on the Pixel C.

Android 11 is here!

Happy holidays everyone,

Flashed the Customized RU version (non-wipe) this morning. Works great, only thing i noticed is that the animation is heavier.

Any changes to volte? How's the 120 frames for cinema pro?

Waiting for US or HK (current firmware)

Still waiting in Europe

Might be a stupid question, but can you share what you used to flash it? I have an AT52, and no OTA, Xperia companion also says no update, and I never seem to have much luck with the various flash tools floating around the forums lol.

[GUIDE] Flashing a different customization on the XQ-AT51 with FlashTool | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
This guide works like a charm, just read the full topic and you are fine.

Thanks! It worked. I do notice that all app icons on the home screens are square now. Interesting. Time to play around with it.

No 120FPS option in 4k in Cinema Pro unfortunately? I thought they stated this was added for our 1ii. Bummer.
Edit: Just found it. Turns out I am dumb lol. It is there!

One more thing I just realized: Even after several restarts, the recent app button (on the 3 button navigation bar on the bottom), does not seem to work at all.

Did it bring any screen refresh rates above 60hz? There was speculation it would although at a lower screen resolution.

Update just arrived for me
I'm unlocked UK version

That's too bad. Sony's communication about this type of thing is pretty poor

So far so good, nice update

i got it today!
but im depressed...
I like the 4k @120FPs... but i would like to see a Focusbracketing function in the PhotoProApp, and a software button for the shutter.

I got the update today (located in Germany and all stock). So far, I haven't noticed any changes. Do we have a comprehensive change log somewhere?

I got the update today in The Netherlands

Hi, me too. But I have an issue with my WiFi connection. I use a FritzBox 7590 with WPA2 + 3. With Android 10 it worked flawlessly with the new security setting but with today's update I can't use WPA3 anymore.
Does anyone have the same issue?
Cheers

New updated Sygav PX6 Firmware

Haven't installed it yet, nor was I able to find a change log......

Thank you for sharing this. I won't be surprised if their update page rolls back to the previous version. They did that in April. For a brief window of time they offered an April update but was subsequently rolled back. I am curious about the version of ZLink in this new update. Will probably install to give it a go.
Going to ask moderator to move this thread to MTCD Android Head Units General.

Thanks! I am never sure which is the appropriate forum.

Just installed it. Took less than 10 minutes with data wipe on my PX6.
Zlink is version 4.0.23 and connected wirelessly, instantly, once I reactivated it.
Initial impression is that Zlink is working much better; though I haven't actually driven with it yet. I like the new launcher, it's a little bit cleaner/tighter. Haven't noticed any other significant changes yet. I'll keep everyone updated if I notice anything else noteworthy.

Thank you @excessdivide and my pleasure. I am looking forward to giving the update a try and will share my experiences as well. Too bad they never provide any kind of revision history but at least we can go back to a version we know works if something goes wrong.

Hello. I wonder what the new launcher looks like. Can you take a screenshot, launcher, radio, music and video player? Does day, night switch like HCT4 / 7? Thank you

Here is a picture of the new launcher. It's pretty simple and they did not have any widgets in place by default but I did observe that you can long touch on the screen and add widgets as desired.
Regarding day/night theme, I did not see any change in the launcher when I turned on headlights vs off.
I did notice initially that when using ZLink and AA, the day/night theme would not change to night with the headlights on. I went into the developer settings for AA on my phone and changed the Day/Night option to "Car controlled" and it now changes to dark mode when headlights on as expected.
ZLink 4.0.23 did seem to wirelessly connect faster as previously indicated by @excessdivide. I don't know if the same faster connection time/speed would be observed with Apple CarPlay or not.
I will get screenshots of music player, radio, and video player and post those later today. I would think those have similar dark background and blue as primary color. I did notice that the EQ panel was still gold themed on this update.

Thanks, I searched and found that it should be the new HCT8, here are the screens I found, it looks good. When I extracted the apk of the music player, here are the remnants of HCT7. The base will be HCT7, just changed the look to dark blue.

Did you extract these from files in the actual update.zip? Wondering why EQ was still gold themed here...Hmmm.
I did not do the wipe data when I applied the update the first time. That may also explain why I did not see any default widgets in the launcher. I may do a factory reset and/or re-apply the update with the clear data checkbox.
Edit:
So I applied the update with the clear data checkbox. Upon first start launcher had default widgets. But the EQ was still the gold theme. That's ok because I actually like the gold theme on the EQ.
I timed the boot to AA wireless showing and it was just under 35 seconds from Android 10 logo to when I actually see wireless AA. So it does seem faster to connect.

The screens I found on disk.yandex.ru are not from this update. I extracted the amplifier and it's with a gold theme.

Thank you @Pavel-71 figured they did not update the EQ (amplifier) app but as previously stated, I don't mind as I actually like the gold version of the EQ better than the blue. I was running the March HA/Dasaita PX6 update which had the blue theme on everything including the amplifier.

Could any of you possibly share the latest version of the Zlink app? I believe it's 4.0.23, as mentioned in this thread. It'd be incredibly helpful (the update button does not work in my unit, does it work in yours?). There's another thread where they've been sharing them for a while: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/zlink-app.4030365/
