I just checked it today hehe.
Information (I'll update as I find out more information):
ROM type: It's not a wipe rom as I installed over KIES. It left all my data as it was.
Install time: pretty fast, like any other ROM.
Speed of the phone: This build is FAST. I haven't had one slow down yet! For example, in whatsapp I've always had it load up and for every contact I have a picture. In my last build, I could see the list come up, but then every contact picture would load (and it took less than a second, but I could see the process go from no picture --> loading one by one, very quickly). Now they're all loaded instantly. No waiting. Applications start VERY fast, but I guess there is still some slowdown. Unlocking my phone is even faster than before. I believe the distance you have to drag (or maybe speed in which to move) has been reduced in turn reducing time to unlock.
Lag: OK. There's still some lag here and there. Overall I feel like it's faster. Hopefully more ROMs in the future will fix this.
Touch screen sensitivity:I find the screen sensitivity just fine. Very sensitive to be honest.
Battery life:will update after more usage
Update about battery life:
[Day 1 Statistics]
I had Endomondo on for an hour with GPS tracking / 3G / bluetooth wireless headset for music (55 minutes to be exact). A couple of phone calls as well for a total of maybe 35 minutes of phone calls (all over 3G). Wifi was on most of the day, as you can see. I've never had "awake time" this high before without having the screen on. I found that strange. I'll do a battery pull now, and hit the sack!

Well, I'll get back to you in a few hours. I'm still playing ^^

Can you check please if DBT and this La3 has Latvian (latviesu) language as keyboard input or even system language? Dont care about dictionary word prediction. Thinking about switching to DBT csc so i can install newer OS, Latvia latest update is KKA and KK5

I hope these help you decide
Input language is for the default samsung keyboard
Locale is the OS.

dbt = version built for debitel, that means it's provider specific to some extent

Wtb OTA 5.5 hours till shift is off and 1.5 till i am home i can't handle it omg this pressure get me a OTA now or i will kill someone

Something wrong with the keyboard. I use the T9 keyboard in portrait mode and now when it auto selects the next word, it does not get deleted if I type a new one.
Before it would show the word but if I pressed anything other than SPACE, the word would be replaced with the new one I am typing. Now it stays and my new word gets tacked on the end!!
I just changed to the qwerty keyboard and it seems to be related to the predict next word option. I have now disabled this for the present time. Rats!
Dave...

which country is my phone from? CSC and PDA seems inconsistent to me and I am starting to suspect that is the problem behind the lack of OTA's for me or updates from KIES.
PDA:KK9 / PHONE:KK5 / CSC: KK2 (DAM)
Any ideas? and if something is wrong, which firmware do you suggest? am hoping to retain root if there's a way also

Can u test the browser? Is it smooth at all times??

working and playing with your note could not be fun at the moment, or?
mate, please make an update to at least LA3 and your note will fly, the rom
you are on is about 2 months old and from the early launch phase of the note. there were BIG improvements regarding speed, responsibility and some apps!

Thought so... thank you for your feedback. I guess I will go ahead and flash open european LA3 and hopefully I will be getting updates in the future. I haven't read the procedure yet, but will I have All PDA/Phone/CSC versions the same once I am done?

NO, DBT only means free phone from Germany.
All of those who for example bought it from Amazon.de have this phone. It is absolutely free of carriers and customizations!!!
It has been said before but people keeps getting confused and confusing others!
It is very popular since it was one of the first places where it was early available.

thanks will try this update as a last shot. was about to return my phone to amazon.de in the morning. they dont have stock anymore so no chance of replacement and only can get refund as per amazon.de help line. their next stock is only expected after 1-2months apparently as told to me today. so stuffed unless this update sorts the issues with my phone. (crashing restarting, wallpapers changing to original on its own, some apps laggy, file browser very laggy, video player crashing almost all the time and unusable, screen freezing and restarting etc).
will try this update, hope it works as i like the phone otherwise and will buy a note from elsewhere but atleast 50-100£ more expensive now elsewhere including amazonuk now. dont bother ordering on amazon.de now as i was told today by them next stock not sure when and at least 1-2months away. anyone who bought from there cant get replacement now and only repair or refund. i had emailed for replacement but reply says refund. same confirmed on phone call. the first customer service ***** that i got on my international call hung up on me!!!! the second chap on my next call was helpful even though he couldnt do anything as no stock. was told after they get phone back and process it may take upto 4weeks for refund! same said on website. so no phone and no money either.

It feels faster to me as well. The touchscreen also seems more responsive. I play a lot of chess on my Note, and I can see a difference when I'm dragging pieces across the screen. Perfect for all those times I'm in time trouble.

btw..
updating right now..

I updated my first post to include some more findings.

Luv my note BUT things I hate (compared to iphone)

Luv the screen pen etc.
But samsung upgrade policy is archaic to say the least. I'm still waiting nearly a month since the german version has been released. At least give us the dates ...and what excuse could there be mines unlocked.and I dont really want to root it and lose the warranty.how come apple can update millions more in a single day ..come on samsung
Kies software is a joke up to five hours to back up and then it doesn't restore ( on the web thousands of people have the same problem.
Why can't I back up my phole phone inc memry card easily and fast.
Still not found a soft app for a keybourd as good as the iphone re spell check etc.
Just my thoughts I would luv another brand with the pen etc.
It seems samsung looks after new customers only.
Just my thoughts
I have no loyaty to samsung

Sounds like you shoulda stuck with the iphone, I don't see what benefits you would have coming over to android if you're not prepared to root and try ROMs, yes samsung is a joke, but I can honestly say I have never regretted leaving iOS for android once.........except when the phone hangs during A PHONE CALL!!!! you know the thing it was actually made for - making and receiving phone calls, Not a regular occurrence I must admit but quite an ironic defect of many new ROMs I've tried in the past, LOL

Plug your phone into a computer like you are used to and get your update.
Apple can update in a day because there are very few models.
Boot into recovery to back up to phone.

You don't need to be rooted to use PC Odin to install the latest official ROM.
There are great keyboards out there...instead of just one on the iPhone. Look at Thumb Keyboard or Swiftkey. There is even an iPhone keyboard...gasp.
And since you don't want to root (you can unroot for warranty purposes and Samsung is none the wiser....) checkout MyBackup Pro in the market.

Samsung - a joke as a company?!?! Do us a favor and never, ever buy a Motorola phone. If you are going ballistic over a Galaxy, you'll kill yourself with a Droid...

you can just copy all the files from your sd to your computer very very very easily using a usb cable, have you never used a computer before? Or alternatively download dropbox and use that to back up your phone. Little bit of research about how android works might actually benefit you. About the updates, if you wanna get all the amazing features of android compared to iphone, you'll have to put up with the update schedules, but updates don't really matter on android you still have more functions that ios.

Wow ... cool it guys. OP is simply used to the apple way of doing things. Give him some time to explore the wonderful world of Android iam sure he'll start to love it.
OP please google a bit or check the play store you will find the solutions for all your complaints.
Edit
I just checked your other posts, almost all of it is about Samsung not updating the note to ics.
Why do you want the stock ics so badly ?
Do you honestly believe that ics will solve all your problems magically?
Believe me stock ics is a can of worms that is better left unopened . (personal opinion pls don't flame me guys )
but If you are so desperate please flash any custom roms which suits your needs, I recommend paranoid

Just to add, since i got my note i have had to firmware updates. One to 2.3.6 and then the 4.0.3 update. This is since April. Now you tell me of any iphone that has had 2 updates in that timeframe. (including major updates like ics )....
And apple can update easier as in total there are only 5 phone's ,of which only a couple of model get the update. Think his many different droids there are!

Please tell me you're having a laugh.... Have you never been on http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/ ?

i wanted new set of icons....with flashy colours...i just installed a ROM....and my friend has an iphone and he wanted to change the icons too....o]h wait...you can only change WALLPAPERS in that... thats AWESOME

ACTUALLY I have the Note and I have never rooted. I don't find it necessary. I have an application called Folder Sync, and what it does is it backs up my files every night (especially camera files, but you can set it up to your entire SD card) to Dropbox or SugarSync, it has a lot of options for providers. The benefit is that you don't manually need to connect to a computer or anything. You will always have your files synced up. I even have it so when I delete a file off of the server or my computer, it'll be reflected as well on the phone. I hated having to have to connect my phone to my computer every time I wanted to update a folder, sync something, or download something. Every night my phone waits until 4AM, plugged in and has wifi on to sync my 32 gig SD card with its content.
As for the keyboard, it might take you some time to, you know, actually get used to a normal keyboard. Apple had good autocorrect. But I'd rather take the more accurate typing space on the Note over the iPhone's smart predictive text. Apart from that, I have AutoText Replacements which means I can type ty and thank you will come out. I have "putmail" and my mailing address comes out. This is really helpful, and it can't be done on the iPhone, but yes on Android. Try Ultra Keyboard, that's what I use. Tons of themes, settings and it's fairly intuitive.
There are a lot of benefits to Android. If you're just angry about ICS not out yet in your region, I'm sorry, but many times it doesn't only depend on Samsung. It depends also on the carriers, which most bend over backwards for Apple only because they're what's hot and hip right now.
I'd say that if you're easily frustrated, stick to iOS. If you like to tinker a little, stay with Android. The possibilities are endless with apps and configurations.
Once again, I don't root because I think Android is open enough the way it is. You can download an original rom and install it without voiding your warranty, using PC Odin.

Ultra Keyboard link

This is as close as Im getting to a rotten Apple

This won't give you full peace of mind compare to Rooted.
Agree, If you are noob then should avoid from custom things and playing of different mods.
There is nothing wrong to have rooted Note with rest of completely stock.
Here are some must reason to root (for me)
- Backup you are creating is just additional data, you can get it again once you have application installed on device. And this data is having rare chance to get delete. even you format(hard reset) this data still survives. Only thing which is better to have is backup of Camera (DCMI folder) which you can't get(here folder sync really need). But i do save it on ext memory card, so in case of anything goe wrong still it will escape.
Now if you are rooted, then you can schedule your backup tottaly different way. Like my system stuff backup will start three days of weeks at 4AM, which backup my contacts, SMSs or watever sytem data.
And rest of three days it backup all newer installed application + data (here you will get app + setting, after restoring even you don't need to enter credential, OR won't lose levels you have completed in games)
- What I need is google Maps, In my country still google don't providing me navigation (just direction), but with moded Map I can get it. And yes root is needed for that.
-Remove lots of bloatware from stock system
-Stoping unnecessary auto starting application on boot.
Reagarding warranty, anytime you can just flash stock ROM with PC Odin and your root will erase and you get warranty back

LG V20 H990DS slowly and suspect

Hi Guys.
To start i would like apologize about my language.
I receive today my new LG V20 model H990DS with dual sim (phone i bought to UK in EBAY), i know is not official release to UK.
Phone was not unboxed, not used early, with protection tape, looks everything brand new.
First starting after phone booting i see freezing phone in menu (not was fast how LG G5), becouse my previous phone was LG G5 and i know should act quickly work, but LG G5 and V20 have the same processors, and same RAM, then i thinking is something wrong.
I install Antutu (latest version from Shop play) and maked test
Result very often under 100.000 (89000) point, 2 times was 110000
One time when i off phone to half hour, later power on and first what i run was antutu result in antutu was 131000.. (automaticly after this test i run 2nd test and was 105000) hmmmm behavior how Snapdragon 810 with overheating CPU and decrease power? i forget sygndrome name...
- Antutu 6.2.6 (latest version downloaded from Shop Play) show me all correct details about my Phone, i mean Model, procesor, ram, gpu, and rest.
- Android 7.0
Baseband version:
MPSS.TH.2.0.1.c3-00011-
M8996FAAAANAZM-1.68646.1.69323.1
Kernel version:
3.18.31
Build number:
NRD90M
Software version:
V10a-TWN-XX
What is Strange.
1) I wrote 2 imei numbers to website with check imei and website show mi model V10 H960A
What do you think guys.
Bugs in Android? Bad quality phone or what?

Sorry but keep comparing performance over Antutu is completely no sense and crazy.
Yes, the V20 is slower than the G5 (I have both too), but it's probably because of the firmware. We are with the version 1 (V10a), and I am waiting and waiting for an update and nothing.
People that bought the phone in Hong Kong already have the V10B version. Probably much more smoother.

I have H990N on v10b seems no performance issue so far

Everyone with the v10B version has no complain. But nothing appear for the dual sim version... At least the model bought in Philippines.

Good Morning Guys
I would Like thank you very much for any answers.
Yes antutu every time show me diffrent result, what is crazy.
Today morning (caple minutes ago, when i wake up) when phone was charged to 100% and cold, antutu generated over 149.000 point (was great Result), automaticly i run 2nd test and was 133079, 3rd test test stop and long stay to 70% test, i close apps and run test again, result:133079, 4th test 127270 (test maked within 1 minute...hmmmmm too fast) 5th test 107790.
After this tests Phone is not hot, not warm, just little little bit warm (my opinion normaly using temperature)
Yes i have first firmware 10a, then maybe here is problem (lots bugs), i try update firmware but to this moment is Latest.

" mrhizzo" you say V20 is slower what G5.... hmmmmm my G5 generated 136000 this one phone 149000, and lots test what i check to video at internet, v20 very often generated Over 145000.
But my G5 i several tests in a row and was always the same result, what i preffered less point but stable.
I just ask guys becouse i dont know what doing.. Return my examp to Seller, be send me another model, maybe this series is faulty, or maybe software bugs.
Everyone answers is very Helpfully.

I had my V20 since first day which was the 28th, out of the box it was 10a firmware, and a update was already waiting for you to download and installed, I didn't install the update right away, as many people on XDA usually wait for a lab rat to test this out first, but I could wait, there was so many problems, and the phone was quite unstable, so I updated, much better and stable and runs smoother.
My unit was the Hong Kong H990N dual sim version.
As for the post above me, I also have both the G5 and V20, G5 is much faster and stable, and I never rely on test benchmark for results, only personal usablilty.

People who keep doing benchmark to see "the speed of the phone" should get a life. Completely crazy.

Apologize if you think is to me Antutu and result points there is determinant of speed,
although little is.
My old Samsung Note Edge (Snapdragon 805 and 3gb ram) already freezed very often, 3 week ago i bought LG G5, i install the same apps what to Note and never G5 freeze me. Yesterday V20 withing 2-3 minutes first using i see something wrong, this is why i install antutu..
but what was if i like play in game.... stable around 140000 point and 90000 it is big comparison. and my opinion drastic drop down points (performance) is not normal.

Is the game battery saver on?

I have h990ds model with 10a version of firmware and I see the same results as you guys, antutu score is about 100000 max, moreover I see that cpu is barely hit 1,8 GHz, below screenshot was taken after antutu and 3dmax couple of tests... Maybe this will be fixed after upgrade to 10b? Nevertheless the overall phone performance is very good, I have no lags whatsoever

Hi all, I have h990ds variant and I have same exact problems with the original poster -- I am still running on v10a but when I manually update it does not detect any updates, says im using latest version. Is there any way I could download and install v10b manually?
Thanks

actually nothing... lg bridge doesn't find any update, if you manually check for any OTA update on your phone it won't find it either... i've scoured the web looking for a newer firmware for this model, but it would seem like we are stuck with v10a
so i guess we have to wait

Actually its strange cause in my local FB groups here H990ds owners posted that they were already getting FOTA updates for v10b...
Check my attachment - -I will get more info when I can.
The only problem I am really annoyed is that the phone slows done after some time and apps start to crash, video playback of any kind stops, video recording also fails. And it has happened liek 10 times now, the solution is I have to reboot it to fix it.

oh that's interesting!
are you sure it was an H990DS that received that update? and not H990N?
they are both dual sim, and for the latter a firmware update actually came available a few days ago, exactly the 10b release... could this be the case?
any idea where the user who posted that picture is from? i could try my luck with a VPN connection in case you knew
---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------
i read "quezon city", so it's philippines... let me check just to make sure in case it was a DS
---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------
ok, so i tried with a VPN connection, server in Manila, still no update available under software update.
and same with LG Bridge, both on windows and osx. no luck!

The V10b is almost the same as V10A. The rom is still very very bad. They should bring the phone to the market in a much more stable way than the actual.

I agree, should of made sure its stable before release or have mm, and allow pepole to upgrade to ng.
That being said the 10 b is slightly better than 10a in a way of stability.

Recommendations for which OS to run on my A7

I have a A2017G and am currently running RR Nougat (unofficial one from @genesixxbf3). I use double sim (+SD card) and also use encryption and a dark theme through Substratum. I run nanodroid via magisk (also rooted via magisk) and no Gapps. I like to update every quarter or so in order to have the latest security patches. I am having issues with mobile data not working after going into flight mode (this is my main problem) or even at random and a few infrequent reboots. I have been waiting for Oreo but it seems that has become very uncertain.
Question: which OS should I run so that I can still have double sim, encryption and preferably a dark theme. I might consider using XPrivacyLua to keep google at bay instead of microG. I am tired of losing my data connection. What should I do? I can see some options:
a. go back to stock Nougat,
b. go to the beta stock Oreo 8.0
c. go to standard LineageOS 14.1
What would be the right move to make? Are there any others to consider?
Thx for any feedback.

LOS 15 is coming out very shortly apparently. Maybe just wait out for that since it should be here during the next couple of days (Although it could also not, depends on if they end up having problems with the release). I would regardless still wait for its release and then make a decision .

How would you "go to the beta stock Oreo 8.0"? Has anyone leaked it?

I highly doubt it. I think he means the Oreo beta for the chinese A2017, that has been out for a while.

It's around though. Not leaked because nobody wants to have trouble with ZTE, but we're using it and some people are making a ROM out of it

B12 U beta. Supposedly it had battery problems so they made B14/15 (or 13, can't remember) but it actually works like a charm and there's no MiFavor anywhere to be seen.
The only problems I've seen are basically again ZTE engineers being themselves... The navbar and quick settings/notifications shade are completely Oreo AOSP, but they seem to be implemented in a weird way and Subs can't theme them.
As of battery I'm getting 4h SOT @ 2300 mAh batt, and Fairpark akt profile

Well, that only leaves me wanting it more, ahah. I'm a "purist". I hate Nougat B10, my battery life has gone to **** and my phone is only 6 months old. Couldn't care less about warranty since this is a 150$ phone on eBay now so I'm just waiting for something good to move to.

How about
- encryption
- dual sim
?
And - where to get it?

How did you check your battery capacity?

Accubattery, about 5 measurements all with screen off

This whole lack of dual SIM on Oreo ROMs is a complete roadblock to even trying any of them. I won't bother with any Nougat ROMs either. Mine will stay stock Nougat unless we end up with either official Oreo or a properly functional and reliable custom based on it.

What i am wondering about tho since the last few days is why not anyone who has the latest beta version, creates a new anonymous account and leaks it that way.
I mean im still patient and wait for a final statement from zte, even though its unlikely that things will get better when reading the recent news.
But isn't it like super easy to get away with leaking it like that? Or do each update packages have unique ID's in them that would reveal who leaked it?

You don't even know what I'm talking about lol. Someone sent it to other person, then he leaked it on a small group, then I got it. I asked about a week ago or two whether it'd be okay to leak it already (and I said that I would do it if nobody else wanted to) and they basically said no

Nah it's okay, I got the joke anyways, but I think it belongs more to the guy that leaked it than to ZTE now. I don't know if beta ROMs have any identifier to know who leaked it.

And ZTE has way bigger problems to deal with than chasing someone that leaks a firmware update. That makes customers happier thus releasing pressure from them.

Huawei Nova 3i (INE-LX1 P Smart+) Pie update.

Hi There,
i'm new here, in fact this is my very first post in here, i have been an outside observer, i have found solution to problems in this site and helped me helping friends, and i'm grateful,
but today i come with a more of a personal question, i'm kind of a newbie, but i have always found my way around things, by either trying, or following tutorials on the internet, expect this problem.
I own a Nova 3i, it is written on the box, and my phone has all the Nova 3i specs, expect it is not a Nova 3i, it is an Huawei P Smart+ as it's model is INE-LX1, and i have been trying to update it to Pie, but no luck, all Nova 3i Posts are either talking about INE-LX2 or some other models starting with INE.
First of all, i always had to use the Hisuite app on Windows to update my Phone, as the builtin update option never detects the update even after trying for a quite few times and even after endless reboots, but that's not why i'm here.
I have found this app (Thank to XDA Forum) Frimware Finder for Huawei, and it detect that my model is INE-LX1C185, i checked all available updates, but i always end up with the "The Frimware is not approved for installation" message.
This is frustration, and it is kind of sad.
so is there a way to get the Pie update for my model or not?

Hi, I happened to view this video linked below today.
It looks like to be your device running pie, you could possibly contact the uploader about it.
Post your results for others if you have success.

Never knew about Project treble until now, i have done some research, and it seems that you are correct it is supported, first i wanted to tell you that, i got a reply from the video uploaded informing me he can't share anything, second, from what i understand is it possible to install other android pie roms to my INE-LX1 ?
one last thing to mention, while INE-LX1 the P Smart+ supposed to have 64GB storage, my device have 128GB, yet it is an INE-LX1 which is frustrating...

I have LNE-LX1 too and didn't get the update, I'm from tunisia. LNE-LX2 users got pie long ago :/ .
LNE-LX1 users in pakistan got the official pie update today so I guess it'll reach everyone else really soon ^^ .

Yeah I'd say possible, it looks like a different format that I've seen so far, I've only had a glance but would be similar in a way to most I'd say.
The hardware is probably in most ways identical.
Some models of the nova 3i come with 64Gb storage over here too but I think only the 128Gb model is now available.
Do you have 6Gb of RAM or only 4Gb too?
I haven't received the Pie update either just yet, so in the same boat. Everyone that has a different country code or what not has an older version number than the one available to me on the non-official huawei firmware app so I think it's slowly going on a kind of testing phase as it's released.

hi There, my device is the 4Gb and 128 Storage model.
i actually received the Pie update few days ago, and just now(a few minutes ago) i received another update.
Few things to mention, even tho my device is somewhat new(only fews months old) i have been using the Orio for quite sometime, enough to get things into perspective and come up with a full opinion, here's a few things i noticed after/before/while updating:
While the update itself from Orio to pie was actually very very fast, updating from 9.0.1.156 to 9.0.1.162 took longer.
now to the differences between pie and Orio:
Pie is faster, like real faster, loading times, battery lifetime, responsiveness, app launching...
- Going into gallery used to take a while to load the pictures and you can see the photos loading while you scrolling, now with pie, it is instant like almost.
- Navigating system setting is considerably faster, (i have disabled all timing relation animation from the developer options in both version for testing purposes), while with Orio when you click a setting, there is a noticeable lag time, like you can feel it took a second to load, now with Pie you click and it just opens.
- Going into setting>apps, Orio, it takes a few seconds to load the app list, Now almost instantly.
- Overall device responsiveness is way better, as if it anticipating my moves, especially when navigation the main menu.
- Better gaming experiences, less frame drops, well not less, there is none anymore, as far as i can tell in my cases.
- Better battery life time.
- With Orio, there was some visual glitches, here and there, not always but sometime you can see it, now with Pie it is butter smooth, and consistent, iOS level.
- More clean and smooth Task manager or bar.
- and last but not least, it might be me, but the Camera behaves a lot better, and with a slightly improved image quality.
Overall experience is positive, one thing to mention is that the task bar icons has slightly shifted to the right, this is the only bad things i have found and it is almost nothing, now i'll keep you updated with the 162 updates if you want.
and oh forgot to mention, Pie uses a little bit more ram than Orio, while not so quite, Orio 8.1 used to consume a lot of ram, like always 1.3Gb of free ram, with the 8.2 version at least the last update before Pie the 137 i think, i usually have up to 2.2gb 2.3 of free ram, like almost, never under 2.02, now with Pie, that has gone down a bit, i'm usually @1.78 1.73 free ram while on idle, any here's some pics.

Okay, so, I downloaded HiSuite and was able to install the 8.2.0.137 update but I didn't get the 9.0.1.162 one. Why is that? Also, in the Firmware Finder app, the 9.0.1.162 update was "approved" for my device but I don't know how I should install it using the app. Please help me out here, thanks.
