Hi guys
I have question how is the update policy of LG? I am a note 4 user but Samsungs update policy made me think to change my phone and it will probably be a G4,before that I want to know how LG treates it's phones for example the G3 their previous flagship
Coming from the G2, I am very impressed. We got several updates and even got Lollipop before the G3 got updated. They are really good on past phones. Everything is sort of in a stalemate rigjt now because of the Android M. No sense in updating anything when Android M is the finalised version of lollipop.
Could be better tbh, they update Korean version very fast which include major fixes 2 months ago, and only 2 weeks ago people started receiving those.
Aside from google, all other take their time, LG won't release any new android besides Android M on G4.
Thank you for your answers
Hi, I am planning on getting the Honor 8 pro by the end of this week.i came up with a few doubts. I am switching from Moto G4 plus to Honor 8 pro and the EMUI thing has got me concerned.
1. Is it by any chance as good as the near stock android like feel of Moto G4 plus?
2. Is there a way of getting stock android in it without bricking my phone?
3. I just received the June 2017 security patch for Moto G4+ and it got me wondering, how will I receive these updates if I somehow manage to get stock android on Honor 8 pro?
4. I can even work with near stock like ROMs , like oxygen OS or CynogenMods or anything similar, but then, how long will be my wait before I get my hands on Android O after it is released. Is the Honor developer community very active? Or should I stay with EMUI expecting office releases?
5. I am not planning to get another phone for next couple of years and I am tight on budget. Am I doing the right thing by going for his phone instead of say 1+5 or LG G6 ? Or should I wait a few more weeks/months to get another "flagship killer" to be launched?
I am not very familiar with rooting and stuff so if anyone could guide me towards some resources to read about these, it will be great. Preferably Honor phones related rooting.
Thankyou in advance

I would love to have OP5 but I am really really tight on budget, even 30K is stretching me too far from my budget. I just want to make sure that it's worth it. I am not a flasholic, I flash once in like 6 months, just to test out some other ROMS, just want to ensure that I won't have to dig the depths of the internet to get a compatible ROM.

I rather enjoy having more functions then stock android. This is not Samsung or LG amount of bloatware or wierd functions, but rather small improvements. Still fast and lagg free and I have no doubt it still will be in a couple of years.
The screen, looks & build quality and battery life are stuff that really impress and makes this a "flagship phone /killer". Also quite future proof specs.

Just for everyone to know, I finally bought Honor 8 Pro, and so far I am very happy that I did. Thank you all for the replies.
I even dropped the phone once from a height of around 4 feets (Unintentionally ofcourse) and apart from having a little paint removed from the top, everything is fine. Guess the build quality is good enough.
I remember reading about having a software upgrade soon on 25-26th of this month. Anyone has any update on that ?

Yes, this is great, not bad at all. I am just worried about the updates now, that's all. Other than that, EMUI is pretty sleek.

Even i am skeptical of installing it. I am using a Huawei device for he first time and thus don't know how to revive it if something goes wrong.
I made a seperate thread regarding updates. I will try to find some more info about how to install it.

any reason for preferring stock Android? what do you expect from "stock" experience? smoothness? or an Android without any extra features? and why?
EMUI has got it's own pros & cons.. there are some really good things that Huawei has implemented into the OS. there are also some quirks that they've never gotten to fixing..
in terms of security patches.. Huawei and honor, sadly, can be a bit slow. maybe like once every 3-6 months once.
but personally, I'm not too worried coz in the end, if you practise safe use, not an issue. before I got my honor8Pro, I was using Note 2.. and well, what security patch? haha..
wait a little

Moto g5s and s+ are one the way ... so might as well wait for them, and few other noteworthy devices are getting released, there's been meizu with dual screen.... I use honor8 pro... it has all the premium features on surface.... but not mind blowing, good cam, better screen , thin profile, premium finish and attention to detail are few highlights, but expected a lot more from emui, no native equalizer though dts certified, knuckle knock for screenshots works at its own will, not many customized options in features, only reason I'd go for non stock Android phones ks their skin embedded features whereas on stock Android you'd need an app..
Another noteworthy omission is no photobackup on huwei cloud, and system state backup seems to be non existent as well...
Few more points to consider is how Future proof is your phone, because you'd expect some resale value right.. from 30000 the fall of price might be steeper, so consider it all and jump the boat, meanwhile if you do buy honor 8 pro do get back with your opinion about the device and any good things you've discovered about it... it'd be nice to compare
Hi everyone,
my Oneplus 3 is history as of yesterday. I really liked it for the past years, but now I need something new.
My priorities have somewhat shifted so tge Oneplus 6 is just to expensive imho atm.
I had a Redmi Note 3 these past years as a backup phone and besides a few flaws it performed well enough.
Therefore I'd be thankful if some of you can shed light on a few things which may have changed with the Redmi Note 5.
- the Redmi Note 3 tends to get quite warm, especially in summer when you're outside. That just doesn't feel safe for the device. How are temps on the Note 5?
- the wifi has always been a thing on my Note 3, I have way worse wifi than with my Oneplus 3 or anyone else for thst matter. Has wifi reception gotten better?
- I can't stand Miui, I'm a stock Android guy. I need a stable, daily driver rom with a Vanilla Android look that comes with ota updates. How are we doing with this on the Note 5? Official Lineage coming?
Anything else that might help my decision making or would be good to know?
Greets & thanks in advance!
5 Doesnt heat much,
Never had a prob with wifi
Go for AOSIP very stable and snappy

I loved my Kenzo, was my first Xiaomi phone.
I find that this one heats up less than the Note 3 did, which would make sense, especially given the 28nm SOC that the Note 3 did.
Wifi is pretty good on this one, I don't have any complaints.
Plenty of options for custom roms, given that you can also use Treble based rom's as well.

Wow, don't blow up the internet because of a typo.
I meant to write Note 3 Pro.
it's a good upgrade from RN3Pro, much stable, good battery life. This phone only gets warm if you play some games that stress the gpu.
It's not hot if you use it under the sunlight for hours, not like the RN3Pro.
it's a budget phone after all, don't expect the quality as high as the flagship one does. But for the phone in this price range, I don't think twice to buy this phone haha

A good suggestion from me.
Unlock bootloader of your kenzo, install twrp and flash miui 9 8.4.12 or 8.4.26 port by orochi with agni kernel 12.2. Then your kenzo will never heat and will work very well. No issues in these ROMS. These are the best ROMS I have tried and I am still using the 8.4.26 port by orochi.
You will fall in love again with kenzo.

Probably, but I just can't work with Miui. I need a Vanilla Android Rom. It's not that Miui doesn't look & work good, but I'm so used to Vanilla, I just can't adjust.
But thanks for the tip anyway!
I've been using a Oneplus 5T lately and bought a Note 5 "for fun". With Miui its kind laggy but gestures are pretty good.
Using RR on Note 5 now and it's quite OK, not as snappy as Oneplus 5T but fast enough, only gesture navigation is not really good (bad detection).
Happened when I had Redmi Note 3 Pro and is happening again, imho no point to spend more than what you spend for a Note 5 really (thinking my Oneplus 5T costed almost 3 times as much...).
RR = Resurrection?
I won't use gestures (besides quick pulldown & apo drawer opening), so I guess I'm fine there.
Honestly what could get annoying is the camera. But then again, the OP3s camera was rubbish aswell.

Definitely. I changed from RN3Pro to RN5 and I'm happy. I haven't feeled any urge to go custom yet (1-2 months since i got the phone). The only downside is you have to be carefull with updates, because Xiaomi has implemented anti rollback feature without warning people. Also camera still needs some fixes. But I'm happy i got RN5
Interested to hear more people's opinions. I'm still using my RN3P that I've had for over 2 years now. The only thing I'm really looking for from the RN5 is an improved camera. I replaced the battery about 5 months ago and am able to still get 8-11 hours SOT with it. Love this damn phone so much.
Placed my 4/64 global RN5 order a few days ago. Can't wait. Hope it is a worthy upgrade to trusty Kenzo.
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.

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.

Sorry buddy, but I don't understand what you mean by q2 / q3
2. Quarter or 3rd quarter of 2021
I dont see the point of updates if the phone is working optimally as such.
I am still on Android 9 with one UI 1.1, rooted and moded to my liking.
With stagnant development and not much interest in A70, I will keep this phone as such as along as possible
