no it doesn't... I think it's a way for customer no to be sold an old phone for a new one, like car km counters...
Reset Time
What I found in O2 Xda IIs is you just adjust the time backward while make a call and end the call time will be reduce howerver there is almost impossible to get it back to 0.

Not possible, unless you re-program the chip.
And why do you need to do that? Pardon my frankness but there is no reason for someone to do that unless one tries to decieve a potential buyer.

Even if there was a way I hope no one shares that information on the net. Just leads to some poor sucker getting duped and that aint cool.

well, maybe just someone like to show others that his phone is in perfect condition and new...i used a method at my nkia phones to reset the lifetimer...
So, i think that this inst impossible to find out a way how to reset lifetimer...
the other thing i like such comments whe souldt reset lifetimer it isnt cool etc..beecause everyone who will know to reset lifetimer will do that...once when a phone become boring and you want to sell it my opinion is that everybody want to get as much as he can for his/her phone...
so...lets do that
Where can I see the lifetime anyway?

start/settings/system/device information/call duration. bingo! search application on site helps as well from time to time
True it shouldn't be used to decieve people but IMHO you should be able to decieve companies when you bought it and you don't want it anymore you can just reset it to 0 and say you haven't used it
i think it's possible.. but you'd have to reset a chip.. I think.. But it has to be possible because it can be updated, so it should also be 'downdated'

As a matter of principle, just because you don't 'deal' directly with the majority of employees and stockholders, doesn't justify deceiving anyone tied to a company. They're people too..
Anyway, guns don't kill people. People kill people. So, if you leave it up to people's discretion to mess with the call duration timer, it will be used to deceive all kinds of other people.

I think its my right to decide if i bought something for 400eu, after half year usage sell it to 350 with 00lifetimer...anyway, in my country it is rarity when such a phone has warranty...im not here to find a way to reset the liftimer to sell chillions of htc....
sorry for off...
we are here to solve how to reset the lifetimer. If i need a lawyer i will call you.

The life time is not such a big deal, people don't care how much you talked on it. A cellphone's life is not based on talk time. I would be more concerned about the battery than how much you talked on it.
But to be so eager to reset the life to save 20 E?
If you don't know what mtty is, I don't think you should be messing with it.

its not about a money..well, now im thinking about that many of us know how to reset..if you want MY reason why to reset...in my country to buty an original phone, which is not usedbefore is almost impossible. Because there are dillers who buy old phones reset lifetimer and sell it for big money...now, the poor student when need money or just want to try another phone have to go to this diller, who asks how old is the phone. When i say the iftimer is on 5min,he wont talking about the dealing. If the lifetimer is maybe will pay me 200E, whenever i bought the phone yesterday or no...
if the lifetimer is 4-5min, he wont give me money...but if i do some change, to give him my phone and cash, after he resets the lifetimer, and sells it like a new.
AND HE DO THIS NOT 1 OR 2 TIMES. So why the poor student s*ck
Personnaly, more a phone is "used" better it is, otherwise why use it !
A phone who have "never be used" ... hum ... shady ...
Hello,
i currently had the nexus 5 32gig, before it broke.
I pretty much like everything about this phone
Battery, Camera, Build.
I assume i can get up to 9-10 hours? im mostly on wifi, and if i use my phone its mostly whatsapp or im reading something.
How well has the phone survied drop tests? waist height etc?
the thing with me is i use my phones without a CASE, ill apply a temparted glass OFC.
How well will it perform?
The only thing thats holding me back is that what if i break my display? i will go apply it in a my local market, but im not sure if they would have the parts?
my nexus 5 broke multiple times and now its broken.
i did check one link on ebay.in it should me the cost of 9k for the display.
Thus im hesitating, please advise.

I'm not sure about replacing the screen but, you should be good with tempered glass, since it's made of aluminium unlike honor 8 which is from glass.

If it falls on screen side, it may or may not break. Depends on your luck.
If it falls on the back side, it surely won't break down although it's aluminum back may get dents.
The screen replacement is gonna cost less than 10k.
If you are mostly on WiFi and use single sim, it would easily last you more than a day on moderate usage.

I konw its too far off, but im sure some one might have an idea?
i know we have custom roms, but i just feel they aren't stable in the long run.
I would use alot on my nexus, but overtime i would notice it slow down, and i dont iwsh to keep formating my phone every 6months.

There's a 80% chance to get it, however, you'll get it through custom ROM 100%

Im all good with the phone, im just worried about being able to drop it and then the display would cost a bomb and i wont find it in the local market :/
My orignal plans were to get the iphone but its not on No cost emi.
thought i would try iphone after using a nexus 5 for 3-4 years
You should be good, just buy a tempered glass and you should be good to go
Yup, a screen protector and a back cover and they should provide enough protection so it would not break so easily. Though bad luck is always possible.

If you are on a budget then the Honor 8 Pro is a excellent alternative to other devices in the same price range.
Good Performance+ good battery life + dual cameras go for this .
In this price range there is a alternative too , oneplus 5->excellent performance+amazing development+decent battery life.
If you are flashoic then go for oneplus 5.
You should buy this gem right away.
My thought is nexus users are quite flashoic , may be he better to go for OP5.

Usually, I don't really like topics like this.... But now I need your opinions, guys!
Accidentally smashed my op3 and now I need a new toy.
Already watched a massive amount of videos on YouTube about the razer phone. Love the style, the shape.
However, I'm still can't decide.
Razer or OP5T?
I'm waiting for your thoughts, opinions, etc.
Thanks in advance.
i had the razer phone i sent it back less than a week, dont get me wrong love the retro metallic build and speakers. but the software seems unfinished and non optimised. the screen as fluid as it is @ 120hz just cannot compare to the OP5T in vibrancy and the screen on the RP is just shockingly too dim (even the Nokia phones have brighter LCD Screens). the op5t just feels more polished and its software more snappy. I really REALLY REALLYYYYYYY wanted to like the Razer Phone, but OP5T just seems to me a much better overall package having used both. This is totes subjective of course ...
Gave away my s8 plus and got the Razer. Love it exept for the camera. Se what they will to when oreo hits. But If I where you i would go with 5T.

Yepp and still isn't any good in my opinion, sadly.
I've got both infront of me currently, struggling to decide.
Unfortunately the 5T is giving me a bit of trouble recently.
The others are right, the RP screen is absolutely darker than others, roughly 60% of the 5T brightness and colours can seem a little washed out due to AMOLED vs LCD.
Battery life isn't anything to shout about either really and don't get me started on the camera! jeez.
Lastly, and this might come as a shock, the 5T puts out more decibels than the razer phone, the last update really undermined the volume and now my 5T has about 15% more volume, not clearer of course, but yeh.
All that being said, the Razer phone is built well, and the 120hz screen is nice! I'm trying to justify the brightness by the fact that Razer are wanting to reduce burn in and prolong the life expectancy of the phone, I guess it's not too bad really.
I'm gonna keep using the razer and sell the one I like the least after a week. Don't get me started on the camera or should I say "potato".
The one thing I don't like about the display is that it is "sunken". Nowadays most displays the glass and the picture are together, like you're literally touching the pictures. But on the Razer, you can tell that the picture is below the glass, which is weird as I haven't seen that in phones in the past 3 to 4 years at least. Not sure if I explained that correctly, but that's a con to me. I think mkhbd mentioned this in the preview video
I'm thinking about buy the phone to replace my LG V10 battery life pretty much bad on it and LG pressing trying me to buy a battery for it but they not selling it them from the website

LCD screens don't burn in. That's pretty much an AMOLED trait. The low brightness is a consequence of the 120hz technology.
after all the issues i've had with the Razer from the moment it went live to buy and now loosing a SE for a standard edition (currently using a wileyfox while the RMA process is happening) I considering selling mine on to get a different phone too.
The OP5T was on my radar as a replacement but if i'm honest I don't trust the company anymore, after the OP5 (which I had before the Razer) and it's hardware issues and OP halting the manufacturing of it so quickly so no one could buy anymore screamed of a new one with the hardware issues fixed and on top of that then there's the personal info they were taking it was the final straw and I sold the OP, of course I cuold have flashed a custom ROM onto it but i'm kinda done with that whole thing these days myself.
if you're set on the two devices it's a hard call. if you don't mind the OP personal info thing and never got burnt from them before (grant that little bit there is completely personal to me) then go for the OP5T, it'll have fantastic custom ROM support too if that's something you want.
my personal other option was the Essential Phone which tbh I think i'll get instead.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. I was thinking about the Essential phone, too.... But impossible to buy it in the EU(legally)
It is now 99%, that I go for the op5t.

you can get amazon US to ship you one which is what my plans are when I get the Razer phone back and sell it on, but yeah overall as of right now the OP5T has the better experience (other than sound quality of course)

You're right the development portion of the device is lacking on here but the company do bi weekly ask me anything on the subreddit so they're very vocal. If I'm honest the lack of support imo is because of the A/B partition (something the razer has) and the lack of sales due to it costing so much on release. Now it's went down and essential are implementing project treble it might get better via custom ROMs
But again that's not very important to me anymore.

No problem. I think we can all agree that the Razer's screen is inferior to the 5T's screen in every way except the refresh rate.

I couldn't agree more. Yet every time I go into a store and play with one of the new iPads, I nearly pull the trigger for that 120hz display. I think if it was at least brighter, there would be no hesitation.
No way I can view 400 nits outside in a Texas summer, though.

Very frustrated with the all-too-frequent need to go into Android Auto and reset everything just to get mapping to work, and not having the phone dialer integration working, and so on... Not to mention this monitoring program running in the background that nobody seems to know for sure what it is doing, what it is sending and to where it might be sending things....
So, after initially being happy with the phone, it has turned sour, and I'm looking to move to something lese, but not ready to pay a small fortune for it. What are you all considering for your next phone purchase? Probably not Huawei/Honor....
I loved the 6X, but my relationship with the 7X was sour out of the box. Maybe I was being too harsh but it really should have launched with oreo and came with USB type C. Aside from a hardware issue I had with my particular device, all the issues I had with the software have supposedly been fixed with the oreo beta. So I ordered it again and will have to definitely give it another shot because I did like the phone, it's hard to beat especially for $200. I know a lot of others will say the MI A1 is better, but not having a US based service center sucks. And I couldn't wait for Motorola to announce the G6 series. After my tenure with the 7X though, I plan to spend a little more and see what else Honor/Huawei has to offer. As long as they continue to sell the devices in the US on Amazon. With Best Buy dropping Huawei, who knows if they'll continue to make phones for the US market.
The Good..The Bad..The Ugly
Quite The Polarizing Device.. This 7x..
It looks so cool..
It was thought to be the "Next Big Thing" here at XDA.
But.. It never panned out that way.
It's compelled it's owners to throw caution to the wind.. root and brick there devices like there's no tomorrow..
with no clear cut way to recover it.
Quality Control is not the best.. either you get one that works perfectly (yeay! I did) or you get one with dimming
issues.. lagging issues.. touch registration issues.. heat issues etc.
But.. for a Stock device that had none of the issues mentioned, it's without question.. the best $199.00 your cellular
dollar can buy.
That is.. IF YOU DON'T MIND BEING MONITORED BY PARENT COMPANY HUAWEI.. (see pic)
Glad I Don't Bank On My Device.
The International Samsung Galaxy S10 will be my next device April of 2019
Until then my completely stock perfectly working Honor 7x will do just fine.
I'm brand new (just a few days) to the Mate SE. Love the phone... so far (will be checking for monitor app running soon). But would Huawei be that stupid? to be under suspicion by the authorities, and then have a snooping app obviously running and call it 'monitor'?
Possible I guess, but wow, hard to imagine. Was disappointed to read today that BB will no longer be carrying Huawei phones. I'm hoping to get the M5 tablet, maybe Amazon or last resort their usa website.
They sell phones all around the world, they are very popular. Is there ** any ** factual evidence of nefarious behavior?
Returned mine. Imonitor spyware ran continuously.
Also their support app requires access to your contacts and phone.
Don't think so Huawei.
First time experience with honor it's not so good as I'm expected. My next mob will be form one plus... ?

Weighing in with my opinion of this device after almost a month of use...
I absolutely have no problem with it, honestly.
Do I have a bit of a buyer remorse? Somehow, after I bought the phone the note 5 pro was announced, the chipset in it definitely make me jealous. It doesn't help also there is currently some crazy development with the device from the get go.
But honestly, with the horrible availability of xiaomi devices, why should I bother really? The 5 pro probably will never make it to Egypt or an Arab country (I bought the honor from Saudi Arabia), we only have redmi 5 plus and the 64 giga version had a flash sale for an hour and then disappeared without a trace, **** this kind of crap really I'd rather pay a little more and not play any kind of one plus old days crappy games, life is too short.
Back to the honor, I picked it over the redmi 5 plus for 2 reasons other than the availability too, the fact that it's a real metal unibody not half and half and I'd take emui over miui any time of the day (just look at the horrendous bastardization of the recents screen), emui with a theme and a new launcher is almost stock to me, I'm not honestly bothered by anything in the software (I actually like the aggressive battery settings) except for the clear of notifications after unlocking, which is kinda really stupid.
Having project treble almost guaranteed also was a buying reason, it was obvious that honor was committed to bring treble to all their updated devices, I didn't know what is going to happen with xiaomi (back then nobody has seen community treble porting yet), it doesn't help also that the 625 is getting older and older (support wise this means it will get easier to be left in the dust)
I had no issues with the touch, it just seems that Huawei has some kind of different scrolling behavior, the battery has been nice, not legendary, just Nice, the performance has been fantastic so far, honestly I never feel like I'm performing something faster than the device can catch up except in the horrific camera app, which is definitely a software issue that I hope will be fixed in oreo. (That app is a pain to use). Captured photos are nice, a bit on the colder side but manual mode works well for me.
The biggest issue people witness with the phone is the potatoish gpu, I'm not that bothered because the games I have thrown at it worked well (if the slower ones were playable), emulation worked really well especially as I completed prince of persia rival swords completely on the phone, I couldn't ask for more.
If anybody reading this, looking to buy a new phone and has no access to the note 5 pro honestly get the honor 7x, there is currently no better choice I can think of, everybody is praising the Nokia 7 plus as the new budget King and it's almost ****ing 350 euro, I think people's view on what budget means became skewed with how we have 1000 USD phones in the market, 350 USD to 500 USD are NOT budget phones for God sake.
What I would wish for my next phone? Better gpu just for the sake for more future proofing (I plan to stick with a phone for 4 years) and USB C, everything else currently technology wise is not a big deal and nothing in flagships currently is making me jealous, the honor looks fantastically modern (I was a Moto g fanboy but man these leaks of Moto g6 look incredibly ugly with the 18:9 ratio plus a chin, the **** Motorola?). Last thing would be an AMOLED screen, these beautiful true deep blacks must come to budget devices one day.
My 2 cents.
I feel so stupid for buying this phone only for it to perform worse than phones 2-3 generations older in Browser Benchmarks, this reminds me of the Snapdragon 801 era that was also filled with overheating and performance issues, the phone is utter trash and if you are looking to buy the phone, PLEASE STAY AWAY. Get any other phone in the same range it will literally be better than this.
OnePlus must be sued just like how NVIDIA was sued for GTX 970. I will never buy a OnePlus again.
Return it. best of luck.

amazon does not usually allow refunds, they only provide replacements
I have been using it for 24 hours now, why is the touch response so DAMN LAGGY at 120 FPS and HYPER TOUCH ENABLED?!? I compared it with Oppo Find X2 Pro with the exact same Resolution and FPS and Oppo is butter smooth and this damn thing crawls like a village drunk when opening Accubattery from the status BAR.
OnePlus will never be successful in US after this. They just lied and I was dumb and believed them.

Incorrect. Check again. I'm pretty sure you can return it.

I have it for about 3 weeks now and I didn't notice any slowdowns in browsing web on Chrome. I don't know why do you care about benchmark results ? If they drop performance to level where you can save some battery but you didn't feel slower, for me it's very good decision and this is called optimisation.
The only thing is that they should inform us about it.
People all complain about benchmarking! You buy a phone to use it! not to benchmark it! Jeeez

You have three types of people those who buy a phone to use, those who buy to benchmark and the numbers mean life or death. And those who just like to complain on some forums online .
Obvious troll is obvious
I haven't noticed any lag or stuttering. Been using the phone for about a month now. Very smooth and no obvious throttling even though I'm sure it's occurring.

My God. You use a phone 24 hours and then go complaining about it like this? Calm down mate! You want to immediately sue them, geez. "Utter trash", haha. Not one professional review is this negative - why could that be? And then your title: Like everyone is this extermely negative "The most disappointing phone that currently exists". You could add "of the universe" for extra drama, you know. Get a grip.
Only thing I know of is some battery issues, that could well be resolved with updates. I have no issues at all (besides that battery life is a little dissapointing): one of the smootest experiences ever - not kidding.
Ask yourself the questions: Why am I litteraly the only one complaining in this magnitude? Could it be me?
Could it be that it's just a faulty phone? It happens you know.
Are you on the latest firmware?
