Nougat (b336) vs Messenger - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Ever since I upgraded from b329 to b336 I've been having problems with messenger:
First I deleted the app then installed it back, everything worked fine; but now that facebook decided to update the app it started giving me the same problems as before; so I downgraded to the official release (as I was part of the beta program) but still the same problems;
If someone could help;
-----
Downgrading to 100.0.0.7.61 seems to be fixing the problem

I have the same problem on B161...

Had the same problem with B336, meanwhile i rolled back to MM and it works fine like it should.
Will wait for future updates on Nougat.

Install messenger lite, it's the usual messenger but it use less ram
And for me (b336) works fine

No i don't think
I saw other people with your same problem not rooted
Try to install messenger lite, it's a facebook app so it's safe

I have rooted phone and messenger crashes
But i dont think that the crash is due to rooting the phone

honor 6 plus new official lollipop beta rom

Hi this is my first post i thought it would be helpful to share link of the new lollipop beta rom as it was hard to find it for me and hop it could be used from developers to make more custom roms as i cant find for honor 6 plus
Link:https: //mega.nz/#!YA81wDKY!6-kM4hGE_6NlUkIhLn3xUcc6_P8CP6GmmBk8-O3geZA
just remove space after https:
The update is 1.05 GB in size and carries the version number B305 .
In the beta firmware is a OTA update.zip, ie it must be installed on the Local Update. For this purpose, it packs the update.zip in DLOAD folder on your external SD card and run the task manually.
To install prerequisite to the update, the firmware version B147, the OTA already been distributed a few days ago. An update from other versions is currently not possible. For all those who did not receive B147
copied from honornews.de
Hello, Did anyone install it?
Did they remove features like "Double tap to Wake"?
Can someone post review?
on my phone, dt2w is gone at the moment, also a factory reset and a reflash didn't help. but on other h6+ dt2w is not gone. so, it seems huawei didn't remove it really. seems to be the risk of flashing a beta. you can just try it, but it could be away after a flash... or not... only god knows

native VoIP SIP client
Honor has also removed the native VoIP SIP client for internet calls in the dialler app, which did not really work under Kitkat because of no sound.
The SIP client just isn't in Lollipop anymore I think, I observed the same with various phones/manufacturers.
OT: I'm currently using it in my 6+ with KK. What do you mean by "no sound"?

No sound means you hear nothing from the other party. They do not hear you, too. This happened only with the built in dialler app of emui. If you use 3rd party app like sipdroid, it works with audio.
What firmware were you on on KitKat with working VoIP?

I'm on the latest chinese version, I think, B243.
And using stock dialer. There is a certain delay between you talking and the other party hearing you, maybe a second or so, but it basically works well enough.
Gesendet von meinem PE-TL10 mit Tapatalk
@NeidRider: Cannot find this B243 for the PE-TL10. Could you post a link for it?
@ blechdepp: bittschen
http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=125
good luck for your downgrade maybe you tell us how it worked
Do not think that the chinese FW B243 will work with my european model even if it would be on Kitkat. Tried that kind of experiment already with another H6+ which ended with a softbrick. My provider three.co.uk luckily exchanged it. I do not recommend flashing in between because of different partition structures.
Notice!
Beta FW for Lollipop B305 causes high battery drain.
Double Tap to Wake is gone after a facotory reset.
Connection to hisuite is not possible after upgrading
security lockscreen is activating automatically while doing a longer phone call. That´s awkward if you want to end call or activate loudspeaker during the call.
Huawai, there´s still very much work for you!!!
Is there any unofficial recovery available ?
why double posting?
no, nothing available. so far no root.
or do you know something we do not know?
i confirm missing option for dt2w (but still active), and no choice to add button to hide navbar

Mate 8 Chinese version (AL10) 2 questions

Hello. I just got my m8 today. I did UL bootloader and rooted the chinese version 156 which came with OTA. The only problem I get is that i cannot sync google contacts. Everything else is working great. Is there any way or do I need to flash the international firmware?
PS If I need to update to a newer version (I saw 165 came out but i didn't get it today) is there a way to flash a newer rom without losing all data through TWRP?
PS2 One other problem i encountered: I tried to install sygic navigator from play store but it forcecloses the entire google play!!! This happens only at this app...
u wont get any ota updates on a modified system @unlocked bootloader & root, so ull have to flash manually every time or revert back to full stock.
concerning google apps and services, ull need to manually add those to the chinese rom (check the B156 rooted thread, the necessary apk files are attached to the OP)
as for flashing updates, it is indeed possible to "dirty flash" a rom over an existent one, but be prepared for potential hiccups / issues / functional resets in that case. best thing is to always to a proper clean flash with your data backed up on a different location (i.e. laptop).
the play store FC is probably due to the app size. check permissions of google play store app and activate permission for storage, that should solve the FC...

Thanx for your reply. I see... As far as the google contacts sync is concerned, I tried creating a GoogleContactsSyncAdapter folder in the system/app folder and copying the apk in there but after the reboot still no sync... Am I doing something wrong? (I did a workaround here as well, i restored the contacts from a csv file but now i don't get cloud backup)
When flashing future updates do we use the TWRP in order to flash the stock roms? I haven't tried that's why I ask. I usually do a full wipe when I flash updates. About the play store i gave it full access, but before that i did a workaround and backed up the prog from another device and restored it to mate8... I will probably see on the next update of the app.

I got it to work... I am not sure what was the reason... I uninstalled it completely and then installed the latest app I saw online and gave permissions and rebooted and the apps are there Thank you all.
The problems fixed. Can someone please answer to the first q about how to flash latest versions since I am rooted-twrp? Are the versions I find in the android development flashable by TWRP? I mean the untouched versions not the custom roms. I am happy with the performance of the stock rom.
some are flashable via twrp, others through the stock huawei erecovery, others again are flashable via fastboot. gotta check the package contents and file types...

Guys how often does contacts sync takes place? I put a contact yesterday at about 18:00 and it doesn't show up at the gmail contacts. Probably due to the fact that if I go to google account it says it synced last yesterday at about 17:15. I know that I can force sync it but I don't want to have to do that every time I add a contact.
I also have the AL10 and I didn't unlock and rooted my phone and didn't receive the B165 rom yet either. My latest rom is still B156.

There is a thread in the forum with the exact procedure. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-root-install-t3301371
Hello everybody.
I recently purchased a Chinese Mate 8.
While the Play Store and Google Services were up and running when I received it, contacts where not syncing.
I download GoogleContactsAppSync and solved that BUT I can't sort them by surname, how am I supposed to do that?
Please help, I can't get my head around that!
Thank you
Same here with Sygic. My phone is a chinese one, model NXT-AL10, no root, bootloader locked.
When Sygic is loaded, playstore is force-closed. Sygic can be loaded via Amazon appstore but the "restore"-function does not work.
Moreover, OsmAnd+ navigation does not work properly. It can be opened but no map is shown.
Anyone uses Sygic and OsmAnd+ with Huawei Mate 8 chinese successfully? Should we contact Huawei?

New firmware 32.1.A.1.185

Just got the update. Don't know yet what's new.
Nothing visible so far, maybe some optimization and fix for the screen bug.
Only difference I can spot is that the network type (H/4G/LTE etc.) is now placed on the left of the reception bar instead of above it.

That didn't change for me though. I'm on E5803 Malaysian firmware. All I noticed was that the animations are faster and the apps are opening faster. That's it. Also no issues with auto brightness so far

The default SMS app now has stickers(You actually have to download Sketch from the play store)
and there are some new quick share options at the popup menu that appears when you share a file.
Also, it says something about a revamped camera ui but I see nothing different....

I hope this fixes the wired and bluetooth audio stuttering.
In Lollipop you couldn't get system software updates OTA if you were rooted, but I just got a notification that this version is ready to install... I'm running rooted 32.1.A.1.163. Will I lose root if I install? Will it install at all? Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

If your bootloader is unlocked,then the only way to update, is to flash it via flashtool. OTA or PC Companion won't work

I tried updating with root and it failed. I also want to know if root is possible with thia update.
I'm using a rooted phone myself - while I use the DRM key emulation I know OTA updates will most likely fail so I will perform the upgrade manually.
Would anyone please check the Android security patch level?
If you go to System Settings - About phone. One entry says "Android security patch level" which is February 1st on the .163 version. Did this one increase maybe?
If so, it would be worth the hassle with Flashtool and rerooting and such for me to upgrade.

AL00C00B213 Now available for Chinese version of Mate 9

Unlimited downloads now available for B213. It was restricted to first 2000 at one point. Just go to HiCare and then press update. Then follow directions. 751mb. Mostly security related update. Improves google app security. The only thing different I noticed in re user interface is that, when in recents page, the delete all running apps button no longer flickers when transitioning. A slight improvement as it was a little annoying to see the flicker. Maybe just my device...

Sorry it is not quite working out right for you. When I first got phone I downloaded the GMS app (from hiApp I believe) One thing I did notice, that I did not mention, is that Playstore crashed the first time I opened it after this update but then I tried it again and it worked fine. I have never had to reinstall google apps with any updates. I'm still not rooted which is unusual for me. I've decided to more or less ride out this device and not root unless, Xposed for Nougat comes out. I will probably part with it once the Note 8 comes out.

Mate 9 Pro just updated OTA to AL00C00B213 (741MB). Play store, Gmail, contacts & sync work fine afterwards. I only ran GMSinstaller once when I first got the phone. I expected to have to rerun and reinstall google stuff after each update but happily that hasn't been the case for me.
It's always applied Quick Update so maybe that's why?
I have not deleted HiCare & other Huawei apps & never registered a Huawei ID.
is it recommended registering HuaweiID?

battery consumption
Anybody noticing a greater power consumption from this latest update I no longer get the 2 day of moderate use out of a fully charged phone need to do it 24 hours now? hope they develop a fix quickly even sticking it in ultra battery mode seems to drain quicker than it did before.
Also when I check to see battery consumption, WLAN always seems to be on even when I'm not using it as their is always a blue line underneath?

Liveview on Google Maps

Hi guys, I'm on Oneplus 8 pro with root but i'm unable to use liveview to calibrate my position on Google Maps.
Is it working to you?
Thanks for your replies
Worked fine for me when I did it a few weeks ago. also rooted 8P but still on the latest OOS 11.

Ok, I don't understand why but I don't have the option to use liveview. It's very useful to calibrate without moving a rotating the phone like a stupid in public.
Idk if it has to do with the fact that I have bootloader unlocked with root.
If anyone knows how to solve please help me!

I'm afraid I have to correct mayself - it USED to work on my unlocked + rooted 8P but when I tried it just now I also didn't get that option.
I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with us having unlocked the bootloader + rooted the device ... but I do recall there having been 1 or 2 updates for Maps in the last few weeks and I'm guessing 1 of those removed that option, for whatever silly reason. It's Google after all and they don't need reasons to remove or cripple any app

No idea, esp. since I don't know when exactly the option even disappeared.
I guess there's no harm in trying, just remember to disable Playstore updates for Maps once you find a version that has it again. Let me know if you get it working btw, now I'm curious myself

No idea, esp. since I don't know when exactly the option even disappeared.

I have installed a march version but still nothing. They may have removed it server side, even if there are people who are currently using it. So I really don't know

I have the same problem. I remember the live view option working on OOS 11 , now, on the last version (12), nothing
I created a post on the official forum to know if it's my device fault, without answer: https://community.oneplus.com/thread?id=1143024798105337860
I remember something like this happened in the past with pixel devices, and was solved by google on a maps update, so... looks bad for us :S
edit: my Oneplus 8 pro is NOT rooted (never) and os version is 12.1 (c.33)
I'm rooted and with IN2023-11-C.33. Google maps with live view without any problems here (Europe)
