Just ordered a 6p, I have questions for you guys.

So initially the battery life, no OIS, no dt2w kind of deterred me from getting this device but after seeing what else is out now and even trying an iPhone I ordered this after catching up on these forums.
Some questions are, so with system-less root AP should work np? What is proven not to work with system-less root? Also a lot of users are claiming some awesome SOT with cataclysm and elementalx, also I'll mention I really want the dt2w function so would this be the best way to go for best battery life and feature? One other thing I cant believe is no 1080p60 video but does other higher quality videos, please tell me there is a way to enable 1080p60 video recording?
Thats it for now, I'm sure something else will come up. Now I just got to decide on a nice slim case.

Android Pay will work with systemless root, but you need to have stock DPI, and it doesn't work on CM or CM based ROMs. There are a few apps that don't work with systemless root, I don't believe there's a list, though. The best way to go is purely subjective so that's an impossible question to answer, especially since battery performance depends entirely on countless variables that are unique to your phone and how you use it. The only way to find out is by testing yourself. No, there's no way to enable 60FPS at 1080P.

Thanks for the reply brother, believe me cant wait to try all this out. Overall, you're pretty happy with the 6P?
Oh and another question, with systemless root can you get stock android updates?

Honestly, I've had a nightmare experience. I'm currently waiting for my fifth unit to be delivered today because I've had four faulty units so far. I think I've just been very unlucky, one with a faulty chipset and three with defective displays. Other than that I thoroughly enjoy this phone. OTA's should be fine with systemless root, as long as you don't modify /system at all.

You can't technically verify it. I know mine was faulty because it was constantly overheating, freezing up, lagging, rebooting. The phone basically couldn't do anything.

My first observations after upgrade:
- system is smooth and fast, but the fact is that it was such before upgrade as well;
- smart battery saving leave you less options as before; you can't use it with screen off time adjustment any more; my impression is that with no battery saving you achieve less uptime than before and with smart battery the same as before but with more restrictions;
- overall color specter moved toward blue and a lot of white; light color letters on white background are sometimes difficult to read;
- safetynet (indicator of secure applications like Android Pay and Pokemon) fails wit the last upgrade; it passed with MM and first N upgrade 336;
- still no trace of wifi calling.
Camera is subject to more deep and demanding analyze which may follow latter.
Overall I'll be glad to get safetynet back and wifi calling sometimes soon.

Got a new upgrade yesterday, the version B368.
This time the change log is in Chinese so I have no idea what it is about. At least it still works fine, no complain so far

It says something like:
This update optimizes the system and stability and makes the phone run more smooth. It repairs Taobao app text dialog box on order to prevent blocking input method. It also repairs the problem that call recording can’t add the specific contact. Further, the problems that outgoing call can’t be placed and phone can’t be connected to WIFI are fixed as well. Removed error that Talkback can’t be used. Fixed HuaweiShare autolaunch after WIFI download rate is reduced. Fixed issues with 123006?? and banking (shopping??) apps like Taobao. Power consumption is optimized in order to extend battery life. Screen brightness parameters optimization.
The translate is result of mutual efforts of me and GoogleTranslate and it is far from perfect.
My first impressions after update:
The system is stable and ready for the transition from beta to the production version. It is responsive, smooth and fast. No substantial deficiencies could be detected. There are still some glitches that should be improved though:
1. In order to make the outlook white as a snow (combined with sea blue) the producer made some application text hard to read (white on the bright)
2. Using the power saving mode gives you insane 6 hours of SOT. But the mode fixes screen on when passive to 30 secs time and it can't be adjusted. What could be really annoying in some situations. I would have easily sacrificed 1 hour of SOT if I had option to turn off the screen manually.
3. SafetyNet (connected with payment and other safety apps) fails after every upgrade. Thankfully so far I had it back in a few days and I hope that it will happen this time too. I think that the failure is connected to beta status of the upgrade: Google might consider upgrade as a test version of the system (safe applications don't work on the rooted phone, custom recovery, unlocked bootloader or test versions of the system). I don't understand the mechanism on which the functionality suddenly returns: is it by Huawei's intervention, Google app upgrade or simply recognizing the upgrade as real, not test version.
Finally, there is an improved custom ROM for AL10 and AL00 (HRT-Kangvip) if someone with rooted phone wanna try: http://club.huawei.com/thread-11821416-1-1.html (use GoogleTranslate).

I am in China, I already got 3 updates since I bought it (3 weeks ago).
That's why I can't really compare with marshmallow as I didn't use it much.
I just found out they still didn't fix the bug when we use the fingerprint to slide photos in the gallery. It works but it's not as smooth as before.

Hello guys, would anyone have information for the update announced since end of the last year, which should take place for the month of March 2019, to pie, by Sony ?

50.2.A.0.352 update for XA2, XA2 PLUS, XA2 ULTRA is available in some regions according to xperifirm (mostly for duals)

I already updated. I have troubles with camera, lags on 4k mode with steady shot on and system works slowly than Oreo. Don't install that, but you cant revert Oreo back

R2A revert to Oreo. R1A for now is not

I have updated my XA2 day before yesterday, after getting Android 9 all things seems fine except battery life which is good enough when my device was on oreo, i am not saying its terrible but its noticeable, on standby its working fine but during usage its going to be draining fast, its really painful for me bcz battery power was highlighted feature of XA2 but now its behaving not well, sony should fix this as soon as possible

I notice the same, battery runs out faster than with Oreo, then I had no other inconvenience, the camera app was updated and some say that the video quality worsened, I did not notice yet, but the good thing is that for the first time I managed to run a version of Google Camera (I think it's for XA1) is one of the first to appear on Google if you search "Google cam Xperia".

Yes bro everything seems fine except battery timing, its more sleek and faster than oreo, finger print scanner is now super fast and camera has been improved, over all its good update but battery timing is really an issue, hope they fix it

More about the camera app and android Pie.
They removed the Timeshift function that was the best of the app, is available in the playstore but I can not install.
As I said above you can install a functional version of the Google camera that at a glance takes better photos and videos (without so much postproduction) from here

I also tried all the portable apps of this link for LG smarthphones, they all worked (with limitations), but the H2O from ONE Plus ascinated me, the manual controls are excellent and it works fluently.

I think Android 9.0 fingerprint recognition seems faster,higher success rate,but it doesn't have pie's navigation bar and there's no circular clock

The update is successful. Installed this morning by Xperia companion on my XA2 single SIM, everything is fine and the battery lasts longer. The only thing is that the task manager I did not find the windows with horizontal scrolling but with vertical scrolling as in android 8. For the rest it's fine.
100% battery April 8 at about 2.15pm
1:01 am on April 9th 35% Battery
The only thing is that I wanted to find the task manager with the windows horizontally, otherwise satisfied.
It's fine..

Got 50.2.A.0.352 OTA here in germany and it bricked. Well ota didn't work, download always failed, tried updating via xperia companion after restart screen went black and is now turning on and off. If the phone it self is actualy on, i have no clue.
litteraly just created this account to share the info that even 352 bricked a device.

Bought a 3T in 2019

Hey Guys
Just bought a 128GB 3T today.. picked it up for £180.. as new condition with charger, but no box...
really impressed with how fast and smooth it is.. and that we are getting P shortly even after 2 years..
Running OS 508, Camera is really fantastic for a 2 year old phone and can easily match an S7 or an S8.. Single speaker is pretty loud and clear, and headphone audio is stunning on a pair of AKGs., but still testing battery life and SoT
I came from a Nokia 7 Plus.. I changed due to Nokia failing to fix the Wifi non-connection issue since November.. Camera is not that great and making and receiving Phonecalls don't always connect (phone is often dead or "number does not exist" message)..which is a shame, because its great to see Nokia coming back from Microsoft.
My only gripe with my 3T is I find the in-call volume abit low.. although Ive read this is a common problem..
Anyway, very pleased with this great device...

Not everybody has an issue with the volume. I, for one, am happy with the way it is in my phone, so I've not needed to use the fix.
Sent from my OnePlus 3T using XDA Labs

Still using my 3T as my daily driver (as I'm sure is the same for most of the folks still on this device forum section). I know a newer phone will be faster/smoother. You often don't realize how much faster a new phone will be, until you actually make that switch. But for now, the 3T does all I need or want it to.
To a large extent, we are hitting the point of diminishing returns for buying a new smartphone every year (or even 2 years or more). Folks are increasingly starting to skip upgrades, as the performance difference or new features don't justify the price (especially $1000 or more for a "flagship" iPhone, Samsung, etc.).
Just as important, still a decent sized community here for this device. Getting a little quiet. But still a lot of helpful members, ROM development, etc.

Welcome to the club!
Still rocking with my 3T as-well.
I realized that performance-wise, the 3T covers all my needs from a smartphone, so upgrading to a newer chipset is purely a waste of my money.
The only thing that will cause me to upgrade is the "outer shell" of the phone.
I am not a big fan of notches to say the least, so up until now, I held back from upgrading.
With the 7 coming out, i'll have to re-asses my stand

I can't stand those notches either! It drives me nuts that the manufacturers think that protruding a big notch onto the screen is preferable in order to make the bezel a little smaller. Or really the main reason all the manufacturers are doing this, is because Apple did it, and the other companies feel like they need to copy it. Same as removing the headphone jack. No consumers actually like this, it's only because Apple did it, and all the other companies follow like lemmings.

My wife bought me the 3T just over 2 years ago for £475.
I removed the plastic screen protector after the first year, second year I started playing about with custom ROMs. It's an amazing device, I plan on keeping it for as long as possible. No slow down, still does what I need and plays the games I play (which are not many) and your right the camera is pretty amazing. You should install the gcam port and the pictures become much better.

I still does not feel to change the device. I love 3T, I own iPhone and 6T but again back to 3T. Even after 2.5 yrs still looks and feel good in hand.

This year I started using the OnePlus 3T 64GB to replace the OnePlus 2 I had for 2/3 years
So far I'm getting 1 day standby out of it with some decent youtube and general use.
It doesn't look as though OnePlus are going to release an official Android 9 release (Boo!) Looks like custom ROMs then.
I might also but a One Plus 5. I don't like newer devices with a notch and no home button - am I stuck in the past?

GCam 7, so I stumbled upon a thing SNAPDRAGON verified

This is the GCAM from Pixel 4/4XL/4a ?
Well on my crusades of random youtube videos tonight custom of the pawn of video talking about g cam 7 and Astro photography. I don't know if anyone else would be interested in a newer g cam APK but I found one of the newest Google camera that works on our devices. My only suggestion to get rid of some green tint this to go into settings and change your viewfinder to the one beginning with YUV. Link posted to save y'all the trouble of going through the pop up process.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Download the first one. 7.2.010 it's by Xenius9
Also in advanced settings is where to turn on Astro photography. All modes seem to work, what I've listed is tweaks I've done. Hopefully I've helped someone upgrade their GCam because Lord knows I love to stay in top of things with what's probably the best camera app on Android ??? cheers. Any questions you have let's work it out together and he'll each other folks.

Update: I've discovered that this set up actually gives me the best images. No discoloration blotches or anything. They've all come out crisp, great toned and all.

This only works on pixel devices...what about rooted android(samsung) handsets!?

I do but they aren't very good. Even with the stay home order there's still a time of light pollution but it does work if u have the right location for it

Latest Urnyx05 version works great.. but astrophotograhy isnt working
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v1.7-fix.apk
Can someone else try it?

I'm using the one above and noticed every night shot is ungodly noisy. I don't remember older versions being this bad so it's probably a setting I'm missing or something, but it's unusable and I saw ISOs of 5000+.

Im using this version also (N9600). I have tested a couple gcam versions and this seems to be the best one yet.
16:9 is not working (not a big deal for me)
Astrophotography takes a regular Night Sight picture. (i really hope they fix this since I LOVE this feature)

Have there been any updates since this post?

I went here to track what updates have appeared: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/#apk1625
Downloaded this release which was published on June 20 2020 https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0.apk
It seems to work just fine. I have some use cases where I've been missing my Pixel .
One thing I do find annoying about this gcam is that motion photos are on by default, both versions I've installed have been in that mode and I had to disable it.
