What issues are those? I've seen very few reports of those types of issues with the 3rd gen. Obviously, those things happens to a small portion of users on almost every Android phone.

screen on time is decent, but could be better. I'd love to find a permissive kernel I could tweak...anyone up for it??

Im still running the release version firmware. Had night mode since release so i wonder apart from stagefright what the UK release will bring?

Does anyone have this as a flashable zip yet?

my personal experience with an 8gb model was a hot skillet in just 3 minutes on wifi or lte network plus doing some search i found a lot of users reporting the same issue so its not a very small percent it is a known issue maybe some users dont report it or dont care about it but it really gets hot. maybe some batchs maybe the 8gb model who knows!
every phone have small issues some related to hardware some related to software thats why i asked if the upgrade fix this one
but a phone that turns in to a hot skillet its not safe to use.

Umm... What overheating and battery drain issues . My Moto G3 is definitely the coolest running phone is ever owned, and battery life is very good to excellent.
Sounds to me like you have other issues going on.

This OTA does not load itself if you have a custom recovery. To avail of this OTA the phone should have the STOCK recovery.
Unlocked bootloader does not matter, but being on STOCK recovery is must for the update to recognize the fingerprint and load the OTA.
After changing the custom recovery to STOCK recovery, phone is stuck at blank screen after the OTA update. Trying to figure out what to do.
Any suggestions?

I am surprised to notice that after the update the system has vanished and the booting process stops on a blank screen (with screen lit dimly).
No worry. Here is the solution. Flash STOCK firmware....

Hi, thank you.
Which stock rom did you use from the link? There are two there for the xt1550. I guess the one with the 23.72-47_cid7(Newer Build) is the one?
If you could elaborate what you did it would help others.

US carriers seem to be much slower pushing out updates. Since they mostly use foreign support it makes little sense. I work for the same company as my carrier, but different division and word I have is they aren't pushing out the update for this phone because the phone isn't in their list of devices yet. BTW, I'd be curious if anyone actually knows someone that got the stagefright bug. You have as big a chance to get struck by lightning as you are in getting stagefright. Anything with Kit Kat or later makes it almost impossible for stagefright to replicate on their phone.

The Moto G 3rd gen is sold in the US fully unlocked with no carrier branding. So the carriers don't push out the updates. Motorola generally pushes their updates to India first but the US usually comes soon after.

Does 6.0.1 unroot for Nexus?

It's been a long time and im just not sure. I tried to do the auto update for 6.0.1 but it brought me to recovery so i just rebooted.

You can't take an OTA if you have root and/or a custom recovery anyway. You need to remove root first. The best way to update if you're rooted is by flashing the factory images. I have detailed instructions in my guide:

If you stay stock it's all automated. If you keep root it only takes a few minutes to update. The choice is yours of course, just want to make sure you're fully informed. If you stay on 6.0 you're going to miss out on several security patches, and features too.

6045O Update to MM

For any users of the 6045O device from Cricket Do Not!! use Mobile Upgrade Q to revert back to 5.0.2. IT will not work. Just tried and it upgraded me to 6.0.1. If you want to revert back you MUST use the Eluga Switch program.

If you want to update just let the update come. It'll be automatic. The reason I was using Mobile Upgrade Q is because my phone was rooted and I was returning to cricket firmware. I need the partitions for the cricket variant to get my phone working again.

It's also been close to 3 months later so with updates to the program things might change. Since I don't have the phone anymore I can't test old versus new so all I can say is good for you and hopefully it continues to work for you if you run across any issues.

I hope that there is continued support for the Idol 3. It was a good phone to me and I loved it. I was going to get the Idol 4, but for the price the phone internals weren't worth it. At 299 the Idol 4 would've been perfectly priced.

Pie update available as of today (18 Jan 2019)

Got the Pie update notice today along with January security patch. My question is for those who, like me, waited until the official notification to update.
With so many here experiencing problems with the previous update(s), it's hard to distinguish which threads are for it, custom, or for the latest Xiaomi update. Did you update to Pie in January? Are there any issues you've noticed with the update? Should I pull the trigger on the update or wait?
Any info is appreciated, as always.
Regards,
KB

I just directly installed January update, migrated from Oreo. Didn't face any issues as of yet.
By the way how do you guys turn on FM Radio?

No data since update.
I did the update earlier today and haven't been able to get mobile data since. Can anybody help me?

I understand. I've not experienced many of the issues some have with the updates, though the battery issues a few updates ago were driving me crazy. Those seem to be resolved now and I can easily get 2 to 3 days out of a charge. The only reason I hesitated was I read some of the threads from the initial update Xiaomi put out, and was trying to be sure this one was less troublesome before allowing it. I saw a couple of folks complain about the loss of WiFi and Data on the first update, so perhaps all of the initial bugs haven't been squashed. I'm in Thailand, so need it to be as clean as possible.
Again, hope you get the issue resolved. Let us know if you do.

I am from Czech Republic and I can say I don't have any LTE issues, battery is great. No issues with Pie at all.

@KB_Thailand
If you are a big fan of gcam.. Then dont update, else do it.
For me everything is working fine, except gcam focus issue.
Stock camera works though.

Well it works for me. Just unlock the bootloader, put the phone in fastboot mode, boot twrp cosmicdans from adb, flash magisk and when it boots open magisk and download camera patch for pie. It's really easy but i think when you unlock the bootloader you lose your data so think about it.

I have also lost my data connection since the update.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem?
EDIT : It seems that the update deleted the apn configuration. Re-entering it solved the issue.

Based on the positive responses I went ahead and did the update since my A1 is stock. So far so good with no issues I've noticed. Both data and wifi seem to be working properly.
Thanks for the responses!

After updating to pie many of the users including myself face an issue where the mic volume has reduced a lot. Other people can't hear me properly on normal voice calls

Thank you for confirming that,
After rooting, and installing the magisk patch, can I completely unroot and lock the bootloader, and will the patch still work?
Will unlocking the bootloader also wipe data?
(i thought only locking bootloader will wipe, we can use the vol button trick)
Thanks in advance.

1. Unlocking bootloader wipes data
2. Does your phone contain nuclear weapon key? If no, then i don't see any reason you dont want a unlocked bootloader. (Manufacturer denying warranty for unlocked bootloader is thing of past, MI has no problem with it. Also you can lock phone just before giving it to MI store in any case)
3. As long as you install apps from playstore, i also dont see any problem with a rooted phone either.

And will the patch work after unroot?

Downgrade from Pie to Oreo

I've been trying to downgrade from the latest pie release but I always get the same error due to how Samsung has blocked bootloader downgrades. Is there anyway around this or am I stuck on Pie?

You are probably stucked because you upgraded to the latest bootloader:
After updating bootloader to U5/S5 (as in case of G95xFXXU5DSFB) it will not be possible to downgrade it again to any U2/S2/U3/S3/U4/S4 version
Click to expand...

Here's a workaround:
Backup your present baseband on TWRP, flash ALEXNDR Oreo's ROM then restore your baseband, otherwise you won't have mobile signal and your IMEI will be unknown.

So in theory the only way to downgrade to Oreo or less, is having the bootloader unlocked with TWRP right? if not, you're stuck

No Bootloader downgrade. Not possible.

I can't speak for the OP but for me it is more battery friendly, has better perfomance, allow me to debloat more apps than PIE and has better mod/theme support and looks better (didn't like Pie UI).

Quick question for you @nemesisexsp as you seem to know what you're talking about.
I'm in the same boat as OP. attached is my SOFTWARE INFORMATION section with my baseband and whatever. Slightly different to what you've posted on your screenshot.
Can you suggest which files I should use from the ALEXANDR Oreo Mod selection? also, just the ROM, or do i need to do something with the BL files also?
I'm rooted (with TWRP), so that shouldn't be any issue.

I suggest you flash the last Oreo ROM available for the S8 model (SM-G950F/FD). After you flash it you can boot normally in the ROM and see if your mobile signal is fine, if it isn't just restore your PIE baseband on TWRP.
Here's the original post in _alexndr thread where you can find the ROM link:

-Is it technically possible to install stock oreo?

I think you can install other ROMs. I just suggested _alexndr because it's as close to stock as possible as the OP was trying to flash via Odin. But i believe that we can't install older firmware via Odin due to the updated bootloader.

Because Pie is absolute trash on the S8 Active. Battery life went way down hill, constantly stutters like the CPU is loaded or it is thermal throttling, notification screen blanks preventing you from see any in the bar. Tapping notification doesn't always open. They ruined the camera UI. Control via bluetooth doesn't work anymore(forget the name but used to when I started my car it would automatically open Pandora and play. Instead now I have to unlock the phone and open Pandora manually".
I only wouldn't be surprised if it come out later that Samsung pulled and able and deliberately crippled devices to encourage upgrades. Joke's on them because my upgrade will be a different brand.
