EDIT : i compared the B08 and B09 file
B08 last modified on 25.11.2016 2.355.208kb
B09 last modified on 09.12.2016(?) 2.353.116kb
So B09 is modified later and a little smaller in size
Is it the same ? I dont know...
EDIT 2 : Someone on Androidhilfe has tested it already after seeing this thread :
*still 6.0.1
*same securitypatch date
*same baseband , kernel
For me though it stays strange that on an official website like ZTE promotes a B09....if there were no differences, why the effort ??
So let's test this update further and make some conclusions.

I am from Germany and have the B08 installed. I think it should be no problem to use the spanish version, right? Via OTA check I constantly get a network error since few days... :/

No problem to use the spanish version. In fact the spanish one is the only at this time which shows B09.
Hong Kong, Singapore, Sweden show different version of A2017G
You're right that the ZTE network is down. I am waiting, if there comes one, for the OTA.
If so i will pull the link in logcat to share.

Thank you very much

Thanks. I updated to b09 and notifications in the lockscreen are still broken. You can't interact with them without unlocking the phone

What do you mean by "broken"?
Update: Only interact is the issue?

You can't interact with them through the quick action buttons, reply, archive, things like that. The problem is that when you expand them, they contract again. It was already there in b08.

The issue is that if you, for example, receive an email and get the gmail notification, you can't expand the notification and use the reply and archive/delete button because the notification contracts immeddiately to its state without the buttons. You can tap the notification to launch the app, yes, but that's inconvenient if you can do the required action through the button.

I have got it. And was it available in B08? I didn't realize it but it doesn't mean anything because I have never been missing it although it would be useful really.

No, the bug was introduced in b08, the supposed "fix" for the notification bell (that ZTE USA successfully implemented weeks ago with obvious bugs such as this one, but I digress..)

Well since they didn't fix the broken lock screen with BO9 it's not worth updating at all.
We will wait until Android N in couple of weeks released.

Before installing B08 was working absolutely fine with all previous version.
Let's hope being fix with Nougat upgrade next month.
It's quite annoying that bug since it's one of the major feature of Android M having the ability to interact through lock screen for various app Watchapp,Viber,Gmail and so on and with B08 is broken.
Even listening music through lock screen the management of music control is limiting.

Another secret update from ZTE. From what I understand the unannounced updates would logically have minor fixes to the things they messed up in the announced update i.e. B08.

Dolby still switching off when plugging headphones. It does not look like they fixed anything really. Maybe the problem with delayed notifications? Hard to be 100% sure, but I have not felt like there were delays since the update.

I wouldn't think that it is bug. It is the appropriate way in case of a phone is made for audiophiles.

Why do you think that? Do audiophiles not want their phone to remember their preferred settings?
Or is Dolby bad for a proper audio experience? In that case, should not we be free to choose whether we want it or not?

I don't want to tell others what they want to. But if I was who made this phone I did the same. Dolby is not an audiophile thing. But an audiophile is not always audiophile. Sometime they can turn dolby on due few reasons but mainly non of them will use it for listening music on headphone. I would hate if next time I plug headphone I need to turn it off manually. If I use dolby it has good reason (mostly movie) and usually it is only one time event for specific material.
Otherwise dolby remains turned on in case of speakers and it is also fine. It is reasonable.
So current functionality is quite good for me. Also it would be fine If it was switchable.

obladi64 is right - Dolby is not audiophile thing.
I myself dont like any added software effects on my music. axon7 shines with FLAC's. and if you are audiophile you surely dont want to ruin all those subtile sounds with unecessary software adjustments.
first thing is high quality music, then headphones, then DAC/AMP. I can say I cant listen to 320kbps MP3's as they sound awful with my setup.
anyways everyone's hearing is different, and music taste is different, so you have to choose what is best for you.

B09 ist just a full build that will be used for newly produced devices or as a restore image. Nothing more.

[ISSUE][With workaround] Built-in mic not working with AOSP based roms

Edit1: This issue have workaround found to be raliable-ish, see post 6.
Edit2: I've figured it out, see post 12.
Greetings!
My device is Redmi Note 4X black 3/32GB. I have an issue with the microphone not working, but only during phone calls and only when using the built-in earpiece for communication. Switching to loudspeaker mode or plugging hands-free makes it work again.
This issue is reproducible only on custom AOSP based ROMs, but works as expected on Mi A1 ported ROM and on official and customized MIUI.
It's kinda strange, because some guys here don't encounter such problems with either the RN4(SD) or the RN4X(SD), both code-named "mido".

Oh, nvm! Sorry.
I have same problem and dont find a solution.
I've found some sort of a workaround for this issue. The problem described in the thread is kinda different than mine, but seems to fix my problem too. It's in this XDA thread. All i did was flashing the two zip files from zile995: fix-audio-*-zile995.zip at the bottom of the OP.
As I said, this is a workaround, not a fix. If you know some of the maintainers for the device tree for LOS, feel free to mention them in this thread. I could make a fix proposal miself, but I don't have the time to invest in this. However if no progress is observed in the next couple of week, maybe I'll try to make it work and propose a fix to be pushed to upstream, so no more dirty flashes of patches to be required for the mic to work properly during a phone call.
Ok i will test too.
Edit: I have test and its work but i dont have lte and the other side say the volume is very low.

Tested ot on LOS 14.1 and RR Nougat, in my case LTE works and the other guy says it's too loud. How come?
I have test with latest rr too. I dont know what is the problem. In the other Thread i have see there is a v6. I will test with this. Have you install both fix after install Rom direct?

Yup! It's not necessary, though. Flashing the v2 version is sufficient in my case. build.prop version does nothing. I'll play with it further during the weekend.
Cheers!
I have found a good fix which work for me.
You found it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3630473
Done, fugured it out
Greetings, ppl!
I know it's been a while, but I've finally figured it out.
The property 'persist.vendor.audio.fluence.voicecall' should be set to 'false' instead of 'true'.
In the Official and all MIUI based ROMs it's set to false, but in all AOSP based ones it's set to true, which breaks in-call audio for alot of people, at least the ones with newer revisions of the board. So next I'll try to fork the device tree from the LOS project and modify it accordingly and build the ROM with it and see if it finally works out of the box.
Oh, such a relief! The mic finally works when calling people.
Could you please try and report? You're not supposed to, though. Flashing roms and testing configs can be annoying sometimes.
Happy holidays!

pardon me, the connection is bad over here
i believe i have edited my post because it was full of typos but it turns out its not edited yet.
please re-read the post you have quoted.
fyi, i clean flashed PixelExperience 8.1 ROM right after i arrived at work
setting this and that, root the phone using latest Magisk, install Root Explorer and did what you have wrote on post #12 and yes, i did not use any patch, just your workaround
Reboot the phone, test calling and i smile very wide.
one thing i found, setting up Google Assistant can't be done
it told me to say "Ok Google" but the app didn't hear me
so i change all of the "almost identical" line to false, like this....
persist.vendor.audio.fluence.voicecall=false
persist.vendor.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
persist.vendor.audio.fluence.speaker=false
Click to expand...

Google Assistant recognize my voice now
But the speakerphone mode stay the same, the voice from the other end aren't loud enough.
once again say thanks to you for your effort
feel happy that i'm not the only one suffering this problem LOL
I still face the issue after editing build prop..
hi @nasko_spasko
I'm getting a bit irritated by this phone
How come i am (maybe with you too) the only one having this problem
Last night i look at latest xiaomi.eu build prop and i decide to get all audio related lines and overwrite the related lines in pixel experience's rom build.prop
crossing my finger here, wish me luck man
edit:
still i get very small volume for speakerphone mode
anybody knows how to gain the speakerphone output level?
@nasko_spasko
finally i fixed it
mic working fine in call
loud speakerphone
i did what he told me here.....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74000643&postcount=210
change fluencetype to none and add one line in audio_platform_info.xml
reboot
works like a charm
by the way, i still use pixel experience rom.

Another Now Playing Tracker app (Promo codes)

Hello folks,
Now Playing feature on the Pixel 2 is awesome. It works very well, but it keeps no track of the songs identified. Hence I present you Now Playing Tracker. An app to keep track of all songs identified.
Features:
1. Once you grant notification access, forget about the app, all the songs identified will be ready for you when you come to the app.
2. Mark the songs you really like as favorites.
3. Save location to each identified song. (Map view comes in the next update)
4. Export a list of all songs as CSV. Open it up in Excel or Sheets and you can see the location and the date each song was identified.
5. Clear all data or clear just the non favorites.
6. Clean material design implementation.
7. Minimal battery usage since location is requested from the OS. Android gives requesting apps it last known location hence the app does not use any GPS or WIFI for location.
For all the devs out there, I am a junior Android dev and have written this app completely in Kotlin. It was a great learning experience and I am in love with the language.
For future updates:
1. Map View
2. Night Mode
If you have any feature request, hit me up on reddit or email me. (Email listed on Play Store) Thanks for the support and hope you guys enjoy the app!
I am not allowed to post links yet, but my app is called Now Playing Tracker and its the one with the orange icon!
A few promo codes:

S9+ - no more video recording button after Pie Update ?!

Hello S9+ Fans,
yesterday I updated my S9+ to Android Pie. Lots of new, nice things.
But in the new camera app the video recording button is no longer available. You have to FIRST switch to video mode and them press recording button. To have two buttons, one for Photos and one for videos was a brilliant, very much loved thing. As when you are 'in action' you simply can decide with one click what you aim to do, without priorly having to switch the modes !
Does anybody know how to get the second button back ?
I am even extremely thinking about bringing the old camera app back if it is not possible with the new one. Is there any way to do this please ?
Sorry if I might have overseen a thread handling this already.
Kind regards
Any fix for this?
First they took out dual camera mode then these "dual shooting buttons"... and moved the clock to the left whyyy samsung??!! Not happy with the Android 9 pie s9 s9+ plus update.
Moving the clock was a Google decision, not Samsung's.

The real fail here is the manual video mode removal :silly:
Very stupid decision
This change is a minor annoyance and I'll adjust but it is an annoyance none the less...
I wonder what the thinking was here? Surely no one can consider this an improvement..
This is a freaking useless change and it's totally impractical. Nobody asked for this stupid change and yet, as usual, Samsung decided to implement it...
With android, you just root and change whatever you want. Or use another application suitable.

Yeah but that's not the point. + with Samsung, if you want to use most of the Knox features, root is a no go.
The point is that a software update removes a feature, which is not only useless but also detrimental to the user.
Hey, at least I can find the video mode now because it says the word "video". I had to spend 10 minutes on google to discover how the hell to record video the first time I wanted to do it on my s9+ because there wasn't anything anywhere that looked like it would make video.

.......and therein lies your answer to why things like this happen...
I'm sure a number of people in this boat complained to Samsung the first time around and so they removed this useful feature.
This is why we can't have nice things...LOL!
We live in a planet full of morons. I can't believe that there are people that they need to see the word "video" to understand the place of the function, but can't understand the red dot, the international symbol for video recording. You are so right, we are doomed to never have good things on this planet.

I'd rather hear his complaint than the ones that can't get used to companies changing things. What's the term I'm looking for? Adapt other die? No, that's to harsh and don't wish death. Get used to it? I don't think that's clear enough. Maybe people should just stop recording things, I mean, if someone did that to you you'd tell them to stop. No, you won't be YouTube rich any time soon kids, sorry
why do we have to get used to "changes from companies" that downgrade the abilities of our phones? You must be trolling, there s no other excuse of your unreasoning way of thinking.
Is there any way to install the old camera still having the two buttons ?
Does anybody have a link to download the app please?
I do see the positive other changes, but rather would use the old version to get my two buttons back.
your only practical choice may be installing a third party video camera app from the play store.

This is not an option for me as it would put me in an even worse situation. Samsung's camera uses the camera at its most. Any other app has not that brilliant pics + vids with that device.
So does anybody know how to bring back the Android 8 cam on S9+ having Android 9 installed ?
Thank you in advance.

This was no red dot, not until you first found the obscure and utterly meaningless red-dotless icon that switched from camera to video mode. That's what I spent 10 minutes on google looking for the first time I tried to record video.

Huawei own phone record app locked?

I heard there is an own app of Huawei that can record phone calls, but it's been locked?!
Mate 10 has built-in phone record app. Where is it on the Huawei mate 20 pro?
On Android 9 Google has disabled an feature in the Android version so that means other phonerecord app are not working right.

Is there news about it?

On my Chinese version it do come with the call recorder, working fine.
I find it seriously disturbing that people are still asking for call recorders on their phones. I would be pretty p'd if someone recorded me without my permission and I am pretty sure you would need to make it pretty clear to the other person that you're recording them.
This is just creepy people.

No depends on why you are using it as to whether it's "creepy" or not. Only time I use it is to record calls from businesses especially the ones that say one thing and then say something else the next time you ring. Which I've had alot of times in the past and wished I had this technology back then. I have set mine manually to record certain calls and just use it as backup for phone companies, credit card company's etc.

Useful also in case of harassment, insults and threats.
Moreover recording is still possible on POTS lines, and even on mobiles if using the speakerphone and a separate voice recorder...
I use phone recorder especially for notes during the phone call business.
I miss this!
How to enable it on the European version?

Google has been actively fighting the ability to record raw audio from phone calls for a while. In North America the laws for 'single party consent' are a nightmare, and totally different from one State to the next in the United States. Recording a phone is never illegal, but in most areas "benefiting from it" is if you act on the knowledge gained and the other person did not consent. Tricky court cases, but the laws have been in place forever. They kind of work like slander/libel, where the grieved party has to prove that they have been 'injured' in some way by what happened.
This is why the games with call recorders, where they have a dozen different ways to record audio. Especially on a rooted phone, it should be child's play to record raw audio from those channels - but it has been a battle for a while. Right now the only thing you will for sure be able to do is to record from the mic, which if the phone is on speakerphone will pick up the other person in the call.
Some people say that the modded .apk for ACR Recorder is able to record proper audio without being rooted, but I haven't tried it. You can search for 'Cube+ACR_v2.2.132 Mod' if you want to look for it.

The apk is the easy part, a simple Google search will find it for you. The problem is installing it. It won't install unless it's in the system folder. Pretty sure you'd need to be rooted to get it to work.
What a bummer

Could it be possible, that easy? Surely someone would have already tried it?

Finally one UI update

Quite happy that finally I got this update for one UI.
I silently grudge you as I have the TPA CSC
Got mine last night. Pretty happy with this update
Why do we keep making new posts to advertise the roll-out schedule of the new update? We didn't do this with Oreo, so why are we doing it with Pie? Can we just please stop the madness?

because the hype for pie is very high and people is very happy to see the rollout in their phones.
I'm not justifying this kind of posts...i'm only explaining why
I got my update this morning for the TPA CSC. I still hate the icons, but at least the phone feels like a new phone for me to re-explore the newer features (that I probably didn't need anyway).

It's bragging rights to prove that Samsung hasn't forgotten about us. This would be for those folks who may not be aware that the update is available for that CSC region.

Explore new features and subsequently find the ones that was removed.
Call recording not supported anymore in Android Pie.

This, I'm finding out the hard way. I want back the Oreo icons and camera options already.

FYI. I tried and it only records my voice and not the other party's voice. Even the app devs says that the Google has removed the call recording intentionally this time, unless you are rooted. Please see the screenshots from ACR and Total Recall S9 Call Recorder.

And the ability to turn off certain specific notifications from the AOD.
Agreed. I've decided to disable AOD altogether in the interim.

As Alienmaan eluded to, not all regions and CSC's have built-in call recording, as it's illegal in some regions.
