Does flash video from the stock browser play in proper full screen? Or do they still have the bug that always displays the top notification bar?

Don't know.
Doesn't do on YouTube atleast

Do you know when this will be available through Kies? Nordic.
I just got 2.3.4, but battery sucks, so I'm not happy. If I'll have to wait a long time, then I guess I'll have to learn to deal with Odin and rooting...

How's the Yellow Tint?

I don't know if it's me or what, but when I unlock my phone I see a flash image of my homescreen and then the lockscreen appears.
Happenning to someone else?

Yeah i got that too!!

Battery usage link under applications was always there.

i think the vibrate icon is NOT a bug, i think they changed that to!
because..
when you put your profile on Ringtone+ vibration, the vibrate icon appears right ?
now drag down the notification bar and put it on silent, you wil get an icon of a speaker with a \ stripe( a new silent mode icon?)
so i think they did this on purpose, as i have never seen the speaker icon appear when myh phone needed to be silent( not that i ever put it to silent, but i have never seen this icon!)
Grtz

Can someone upload the TwLancher.apk from this firmware please????

This has happened in 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 for me also. I think 2.3.5 was better..just in my case anyways. Could be that the phone is running a bit quicker

hey guys, if i use the browser and browse to www.wieistmeineip.de (german ip identify and speed test site) and stay there for some seconds my browser just close and go to homescreen... same problem by anyone else? Maybe some Webelementbug?

Ya, it does it on all stock builds I used so far.

Any improvements on the gradient colour banding with 2.3.5?

2.3.5 post what's new.

Hi all. Thought I'd start a thread purely on what's new n 2.3.5. OK I'll start.
In Gmail you now have an option to 'show pictures always' from the sender. Saves having to click on show pictures from email senders that you trust.

Do Not Forget To Press Thanks If You Like It

Hi!
Do you believe that there will be a global version of this in the future? Or am I supposed to stop dreaming of it and just update to this from stock 7.0G?
Thanks for the upload!

What I don't understand and it is really annoys me is why each any every app wants to have access to internet. Even calculator request it as well as video and gallery.
Is there a reason for that except sending some report (maybe all my data ) back to Meizu?

Global development is mostly dead. Don't expect an update on global. If you want update, just go to A.

You can block access to internet on security.Atleast flyme is allowing to do so.

Did anyone have issue with the NFC? I uploaded the "Super Night View" edition, which is also downloadable form flyme.cn and the NFC reader doesn't do anything. I tried different apps and none of them read any tags. The apps are aware if the NFC is disabled as it request to enable first. But can't read any tag.
Is the "Super Night View" mode reachable in the camera app in the firmware uploaded here?

Tried both type of 7.3 ROMs and the NFC doesn't work in any of them. The NFC reader app is aware if it is on or off but can't recognise any tags.
Does anyone having the same issue? Is there a solution for it? Or maybe my phone is defective?

I think you misunderstood NFC in p6p as ordinary one. Understand that, android beam is not supported by it.So that we can't use it to read tags and further. Its only use is for paying at shops. But also it is limited to some chinese banks and apps.So basically no use of nfc for global users.
Talking about super night mode on camera. Still not implemented even it's available as new feature. Hope it comes with flyme 8 if they release one for p6p.

Not true, I am using it for paying and it is not chinese app. I have tried with 2 banks in Poland and it is working.
Now i have some problems with debugging mode. Despite the fact I can run it no phone, the let's say home unit, is not seeing my phone.

Yes double wifi increases wifi download speed and decreases latency

Oh. Its good to have one. But i think that using 5ghz at least you ll get more performance but except that any other good features ? For example, recording from wide angle camera ?..... Ridiculous that such an expensive device doesnt have it Huawei p20pro has ! And its cheaper.

I hope for a wide-system dark mode and video recording with periscope and ultra wide camera..

can we except internal audio recording feature?

I must say this is a bit impressive from OPPO.

Well OPPO said Reno 10x zoom beta by the end of October and they have already asked users to sign for beta builds in China.

That means some more months for you guys to wait for a stable release, lots of other manufacturers already dropped Android 10 for their flagships.
Glad I already got rid of this pice of junk.

They are not even caring about CPH1919 indian variant. No updates nothing new. Even their customer assistance is not good.
