Everything good over here, try a different browser

The honor European team normally does beta testing of new software releases, but I do not know what their plans are for honor 5X. I suggest visiting Hihonor.com and it will redirect you to the page for your region the latest info.

I have the L21 variant and we still haven't got the b140 update.... Are we being left behind? Well we get the update??

I just left a comment in the thread saying that I will test the beta. We will see if I hear back. Thanks wimbet.

No problems here logging in and left comments. See if they send me the invites.

I filled out the registration form with all info, input the correct captcha (pop up even says it's correct) check the i am ove 13 box and press register and a small red pop-up says system error, then the captcha disappears and resets. Tried it a dozen time with chrome and a few times with MS Edge browser, no go.
Not really a big deal though, already looking at getting a nexus 5x. Love the dual sim of this phone but the UI is crap and the community is small. Looking at other Huawei communities on XDA leads me to believe that it's not going to be much different here. A phone with essentially 1 developer isn't for me. Passing it off to my kids.
On the brightside, the fingerpint scanner on this phone is great and I don't think I can ever buy another phone without one.

Hint
Your Huawei ID is registered on the other site, and can’t log in. Please register a new Huawei ID on the current site.
Ok
I have the exact same problem. The "hint" makes no sense... Can't login with your email, and you can't register your email on the registration screen because it's already taken by you... argh!

I'm not really into the visor look of the 6p. My HTC M9 had plenty of power and was nice but I have grown to love the fingerprint scanner (shouldn't be a surprise though since I owned the Moto Atrix 4g which was the first phone with a fingerprint scanner back in 2011). I actually use my phone for ........... well, phone calls so i'm not always looking for the latest and greatest. I loved my Nexus 4 and the nexus 5 was nice too, so I'm absolutely positive I'll be happy with the nexus 5x.
Actually, pulled the trigger on the Nexus 5x ($50 off for the next week or so) about 10 minutes after the post on here asking me to "try another browser or post a screen shot of the error message" while trying to register. There are dozens of posts on here of people not being able to successfully complete the requirements to receive an unlock code for their bootloader, so the registration issue really shouldn't be a surprise. One thing I know about the Nexus devices is that there will always be developer support and google's websites generally just work.
The Honor 5x is a way better phone than it's $200 price would lead people to believe, I'm just not a fan of EMUI or the slight lag that seems to plague the touch interface (kills glyph hacking in ingress ). Also, I find that CM is great, but it's always been a bit more of a battery hog on the dozen or so devices I've used it on over the years than stock or nearly stock AOSP. It's way too early to make that judgement about CM for the Honor 5x, but it's not too early to see that on XDA the Huawei forums are very limited with little to no development and marginal support from the manufacturer.
Add it all up and the 32gb Nexus 5X at $349 ($50 off) seems like a good deal.

[Q] Can't seem to find my "recently deleted photos" folder.

Hello,
Today I was talking with my friend who also has p10 lite, and I saw she had a recently deleted photos folder and I don't. Is there anyway to enable it?
Thanks

I don't have this option either. I have the Vodafone/Vodacom version C02B133, and although I've seen it available in Europe, it's not available for me. I really do not think this is region dependent, since my husband who has the Mate 10 Pro, with Vodacom branding, has this option.
I'm really not sure how to enable it, but it would be great if it was possible.

Rebranding you help you. I recommend installing a bloat-free version. My phone came with games and facebook installed so I changed the firmware :highfive:

Android Pie

Hi everyone
I'm a little tired of how Samsung takes ages to give us the newest Android version (in this case it's pie). I mean, next year, wtf! Also, I looked for Android P ROMs, but for the few ones you find, half of the stuff doesn't work yet.
So I wanted to know if there's a possibility to do it myself. What I mean is: could I take a copy of everything that's installed on my phone right now, then customize it that everything stays as is (firmware, Samsung specific things (like gear VR)) keep working but swap the Android itself to Android 9.0 Pie? (Maybe as a bonus get rid of the Samsung apps you don't need, in my case that's everything except gear VR. Second bonus would be to be able to change the bixby button to a Google assistant button)
Hope someone can help me
Thanks in advance

You should clarify this is for snap dragon only for now. And this thread is horrible old not really needed to dig it out

S10+ Noob friendly Q&A.

Hey boys and girls!
Got a question about features, functionalities and how tos? One offs that don't deserve a full thread? Let's try asking it here.

Let me start.
Anyone know how to have a banner as a notification? One that you can swipe away instead of a little bubble you can expand and have to drag into a little garbage.
Edit: If anyone else is wondering. Found the solution here: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S10/Pop-up-notification-bubles-S10/m-p/472476#M1495

Does anyone know why it takes 5+ minutes to download a 40mb app. I did a factory reset and the way things are looking I'm looking at about 6hrs to download all my apps. My WiFi is 400mbps so it's pretty fast. I tried clearing the cash for the playstore and play services to no avail. Any ideas?

Same experience here. Did some tests in comparison to my Oneplus 6 which is at least two times faster. I tried with different S10+'s, same results. It's a nice phone, but you have to be patient

Thanks for starting this thread !
My question is, is there anyway to use the Edge lighting to show when charging? I miss the physical LED that indicated when the phone was charging!

You can use the app Always On Edge for that purpose.

Not that I know. I know that good Lock adds functionality to edge lighting but not that function in particular. Maybe someone else could chime in. On a brighter note I saw in a Samsung forum that Samsung was working on giving the lights around the camera some of those led functions. It didn't come from Samsung officially so who knows. That being said RIP phisical LED!

Hi, when I update or download apps from play store, there's no progress in the notification. But apps do get updated/downloaded.

Anyone has any insights? Thanks in advance.

Well that's normal behavior. The only progress bar you'll see is in the app store itself and if you happen to be using one of the apps being updated it might force close. I'm not sure sure what the question is. Maybe a bit more details in regards to what you're trying to accomplish might help. ?

Hi All
Im experiencing a drop in data connectivity once in a while, be it with browser, fb, ig, youtube etc. BUT my 4G icon is still available and present at the navigation bar with full service reception.
I called my provider if there is any issues on their end but they said all is fine up and running.
Anybody having this issues or isit my baseband faulty or some kind? Snapdragon hardware btw. I have hard reset it by using the buttons but still no use.
Im an avid android geek having 3 4 phone changed in a year but this is by far the most frustrated device yet
Please help do i need to turn off some settings or what not?
Hopefully its just a software glitch or something it would be a hassle to send in for investigation.

Did you try a "Reset network settings"? That would probably be my first step in troubleshooting.

AR emoji with non-Samsung keyboards
Am I blind? Or am I just not seeing how to use the AR emojis in other SMS apps (tried both Android Messages and Chomp SMS)? I'm not a big fan of the stock SMS app.

No need to remove it. After latest update, deleting old scan and setting a new one it works perfect even with "prebuilt" protector.

Depending on the keyboard you're using just press + or whatever you do if you're adding a picture and select the AR emoji you want from your album. Is that not working for you?
Sent from my SM-G975W using XDA Labs

I can do that but I cannot find in gallery, or anywhere else, the AR emojis. It only seems to work in the stock Messages app as it puts a dedicated button for this purpose in the input box.

Appl loves to make it nearly impossible to let you move to another phone......have no idea. Like trying to get your contacts from iCloud to Outlook...nightmare. There is probably some 3rd party tool that allows you to do this???

The OnePlus Switch app might work for this but I have no actual experience moving from an iPhone to a OnePlus phone.

I have no idea what an eyephone [emoji2539] is but ducking this did yield some interesting results such as this website that explains 4 ways. Four! Amazing, this interweb thing.
