I have just received new OTA update 1.85.401.5 for European version of M9 Plus.
Please
Can you share with us a copy of your new rom ? Please
What do you mean?
Can you do a zip file to install in recovery ? like tlbade has maded ?
@zazabichi so it's not 5.1, right?
With my s-off, i've just converted to main version 1.08 Europe region 401, all went fine. Now updating to 1.61, then hopefully to 1.85 Then i'll dump system image and look at creating an update for CleanSlate ROM

I had the stock 1.61.401.7 unlocked through HTCdev, rooted & installed exposed. I reverted to the stock back up I made (before root/exposed) but the OTA install is not working. I also reverted to stock recovery (only found 1.61.401.6). The attached image is what I get in the stock recovery after I get the red exclamation image. Any idea what am I doing wrong? do I have to re-lock the bootloader first or is it because of the stock recover being for 1.61.401.6 instead of 1.61.401.7?

I think it will be the difference in recovery.
Unfortunately I don't have that recovery extracted. Maybe someone caught the fota URLs andbacked up the OTA zip, that should contain the recovery, but I don't have them, sorry
Is there an improvement of the performance after the OTA? I'm interested in buying this phone to upgrade my M8. I read some reviews says that M9+ it cannot handle high frame rate games very well. even on switching to other apps on multi tasking.
Are this issues were improved after the latest OTA?
Thanks!

Better stay with the M8 if you're in for gaming. The OTAs didn't change much related to that, and I don't think it's possible. 2K screen and the GPU of iPhone 5S is not meant to be paired for high demand gaming, and no OTA will change that IMHO. For casual gaming still okay.
Antutu seems to score lower. But the ui multitasking seems to be improved overall quite a bit.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'm still upgrading to M9+ since I'm not into gaming. What I really like on HTC devices is the boomsound. I am tempted for the QHD and fingerprint sensor for M9+. For those features, still pretty good to upgrade to M9+.
What really confused me to buy is because of the news that HTC Aero will be coming soon. It would not feel great when you buy a new one then suddenly, another one is released.

It is strange that the Taiwan update mentions Battery improvements while the Euro update has System improvements, one would think they would be the same kind of upgrades, but they are different & also different in size.

This is my review of the phone. it's my first one so don't expect fireworks!
Is there a notification led?
If you can give us some camera samples in low light it would be great. What do you think about the camera and what telephone did you have previously?
Thanks!

Where did you get it from and is there any disadvantages from a normal US/international version?
Can you install Aida64 and post the codecs supported specifically the OMX.qcom.video.decoder Interested to see what hardware video codecs it supports. Hoping for h264, hevc, VC1, MPEG2 and more!
Thanks for sharing dude !
Is there capactive or on-screen button ?

I live in China. bought it in www.jd.com. Cost 4100 RMB(=622.69 usd).
I've installed Google services without root, so at the moment can't tell the difference between this and international ver.

Captive.
OMG, I'm sold! I see h263/h264/hevc/MPEG4/DivX311/DivX4/DivX/MPEG2/VP8/VP9 for video codecs and AC3/EAC/Flac for audio codecs. This is perfect for my video codecs!
Now just need a reliable source to buy this from.
I ordered one of these from spemall.com last week, I wish they would hurry up and ship it. I don't remember seeing the fairly small "presale" text almost hidden on the product page now when I made the purchase. I hope they aren't holding back international purchases of this Chinese version for their international launch.
Thank you for the quick reply !
Good to now that "normal" 6/128gb version has the capacitive buttons.
On the codec side, good to see hevc, i just hope that they did use up to date one from dc so it supports 10 bits^^
Im not an audiophile, unfortunately, but I do appreciate a good sound quality as I have Sennheiser Wireless, and v-moda m100 and constantly listening to Dubstep\hardstyle\rock etc. I listened for a few minutes without to much equalizing and it sounds very good. Later I will root and install viper4android and hopefully it will work on marshmallow. My note5 didn't :\
How far is MiFavor UI 4.0 from AOSP visually and functionally? OK, I know that there is no original Gapps. But what about other functionalities? Does the phone have dialer which is close to android (Google) dialer or totally customized one? Does it support voice recording? Google contacts, if installed? Native sip (internet) calling? Thank you.

I am hoping that they have used the AOSP recent apps list and drop down quick settings rather than the way that MIUI and EUI do them.
If you have a Type-C -> hdmi/power in/usb A, could you give a try to that ?
As in, can you output to a screen through HDMI while charging and using a keyboard.
Cheers

Hmm. The chinese UI is very customized, I wanted to barf when I saw it the first time. Also because this is high configuration, its made of gold color, hardware and software. The notifications tray is actually nice, and after I nova prime the **** out of the phone , it looks great!
There are alot of functions, can't list them all, better watch youtube. But theres forcetouch(works very poorly, need software update), floating icon that can go back,take screen shot etc. You can have duplicate apps (wechat, whatsapp etc), voice activation and much more, I like it so far. Also for a full day not one force close.
Yes it supports voice recording (in dialer and regular).
No google what so ever, you can install seperatly though.
Don't think theres internet calling.

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.

I also upgraded to 5.0 and then I did a factory reset to set all from the beginning...It seems to me that battery runs out a bit faster (first thoughts) and I agree with all written before this post....
I fell in love with new quick tools panel quickly, so dont feel about downgrading so far))
I will wait till our russian coleagues make up a clean EMUI 5.0 (without bloat and perhaps with some customizations) as they did for 4.1 (author: greatslon at 4pda)

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.
All new Features:
~App shortcuts.
~Rounded icons.
~Duo app.
~Little Change in the interface of camera app.
~The update brings back the tap the Fingerprint to pop out Navigation bar and status bar feature while in full screen mode.
~New restart option.
~The Android update installation now shows a progress bar and the “optimizing apps” screen is now gone.
Battery
~Not much difference in battery.
Feels pretty much the same.

Not only brightness, but gamma as well. But that's pixel exclusive. Google had the code hidden on 7.0, which few apps from play store been able to expose as well. Those apps used to work on my previous Nexus phones, but never worked on MZP. Now we have 7.1 and unfortunately Google has erased the code completely... Now we can't reveal it through any 3rd party apps anymore...but few OEMs have their own solution like One Plus, Moto Z2 Play
Is the android 7.1.1 really so much bigger? On android 7.0 I had 1.5GB free on system-partition. 800MB bigger? Why? Or is the update.zip in there and must be removed? Would like to understand that. Thanks!

I just got my RENO 10X Zoom and don't know how to disable all notifications from the lockscreen, I have gone to settings and have already clicked on do not show on lockscreen. It seems that you have to go to each app and disable the lockscreen notifications.
Is there a way or an app that I can install and disable all notification from lock screen at once.

Just switch to a different theme downloaded from theme store.
Do you know how can we change the icon in default launcher?
Also, I could find a way to change the number of apps in a row in App Drawer?
Coming from OnePlus, I strongly feel that Color OS is a disappointment when we compare it to Oxygen OS.

Hi, congrats on your new mobile.
About the dual speakers...
1. How is the quality?
2. Are they really dual(like in S10, Xs etc) or fake dual( like in PocoF1, Zenfone 5z etc)?
3. Can you compare their loudness and quality to any other device for reference?
Thanks

Congrats! I have this targeted as a potential contender for my next phone. I have a few questions please,
1. The volume/side button wobbly issue on the Indian model?
2. How good is the rear camera, flagship levels (like S10/Pixel)? Or at least close?
3. From the reviews, the front camera images looked too bright and kinda washed out. with less details. Is it still the same? Any improvement with any update?
4. How bad is Color OS? Any comparisons? (I am used to samsung S7's os and pure android, will Color OS be tolerable? Does it have good features?)

4. Color Os is pretty bad. Again i have never owned a Samsung device, though i have owned pure android phones.It is far from Pure android. It is pretty similar to Vivo/Xiaomi/Huawei phone os.

Are you sure that your volume keys and power button doesn't move when you slide your finger on them...I have asked many people and all of them have the same quality.

The keys on my phone are wobbly too but I don't think it'll be a problem.
Btw are you guys using the case that came in the box? I find it very ugly. I use skins in all my phones but can't seem to find one for the reno yet. Also, is everyone still using the pre-applied screen protector? Mine already caught a lot of dust. If someone has installed a different one kindly share the link.

Hello! Congratulations on your purchase. I hope to follow your footsteps but do have a few questions if you dont mind.
1. Do notifications come through well?
2. Do the notifications show on the status bar up top?
3. Off screen clock or always on display, does it show 3rd party apps notification?
4. How is the video quality? I saw a couple videos from this one channel on youtube and his video from Oppo 10x zoom looked very washed out. Do you have the washed out look when taking videos?
I thank you so much in advanced for your help!!
Just one question.. Is the color os that bad of a deal breaker? I was thinking of buying either the 10x zoom or the black shark 2.. Both have pretty much same specs and all and I am a bit leaned towards the oppo one.. But I just want to know how bad colos os actually is.. and what makes it so bad
Thanks

Just switch to a different theme downloaded from theme store.

Will applying a different theme have an impact on the notifications shown on lockscreen?
I think it is a bug in colorOS as it doesn't let you disable all lockscreen notifications at once. The option is there but it doesn't work.

If these 2 phones are ur options, they unless until ur a gamer, u should go for oppo reno.
And even if u are a gamer, wait and buy nubia red magic.
Blackshark is just bad.

1. Color os is aggressive, so its known to kill background apps. U will have to select apps u want to allow in background for notifications.
2. if u mean app symbol at top, then it shows.
3 video quality is okayish at best. they need to update it. stabilization is good thought.

1. Notification works just fine if you don't enable 'Super high power efficiency ' ON. For me all app sends notification without doing anything.

Thanks @Dooomlord and @mohitgalaxy3 !!!
Could you guys comment on the always on display or screen off clock please? Do they show notifications icons as well as the 3rd party app notifications?
Thanks again for your answers!
No, they don't show any 3rd party notifications.
By default, you can see only the fingerprint location. You can enable the clock, that's it.

The phone itself is really good but the software just sucks!
