Well, after about about a 2 week wait, my new device came yesterday, and so far, it's been a dream to use.
I was able to basically import everything over from my V10 (actually a backup from last week) that had stopped working (for a second time).
It's currently wanting to do a a kernel update (or something) so, while I'm scared, I'll let it run.
Prior to the update (which will be finished probably in an hour) these are my settings:
Model: LG-H870DSU
Rev: 1.2
Android Version: 7.0
Patches: 1 June 2017
Kernel: 3.18.31
Build: NRD90U
Software: V10b-HKG-XX
So, I'll let you know how it goes, but, so far, this phone is great. It's fast, camera works amazingly.
With the exception of the lack or IR port and removable battery, and this funny hybrid slot, it's very similar to the V10, but I'm thinking it's much better. Snappier and hopefully no boot-loops in the future.
The update version is: V10f-AUG-03-2017
Size: 755.98MB
Update Summary:
1. Phone Usability and functionality has been further improved.
Post Update:
Latest now since the updates these are the changes:
Patches: 1 August 2017
Software: V10f-HKG-XX
Camera still works. So I'm happy.
Installed this update on my G6+ today, don't know if it's me but my feeling is the phone is a little slower than before.
I am still waiting for my ordered nano-SIM to be delivered to fully migrate on my new phone. I will use it in dual SIM mode.
So I cannot give a proper feedback at the moment for a daily use of the phone.
Nonetheless I am pretty happy with the phone overall look and feel so far.
Enjoy your phone.
I updated H870DSU to fw V10j (HKG-XX) yesterday, OTA. Everything OK, all data & apps still there :]. Battery life seems to be a little bit better (compared to V10j), but it will takes a few days to be sure.
I have g6+ h870dsu on V10f-HKG-XX and I'm looking for update because of some bugs(battery drain sometimes, no notification of covering lens, always on sometimes fails to turn on). Is this version V10j (HKG-XX) stable? What about battery life, improvement of front camera, bugs? Is that version better? The front camera on g6+ is much worst than on european H870 version on v10j EUR-XX and my screen is yellowish vs European H870.

Please can you answer on my previous post. How good is V10j? Front camera, batterylife, bugs, yellowish screen?

I haven't seen any bugs. No yellow screen that I've noticed.
Battery life is ok. Just don't have lots of things running in the background.
Front camera is not as sharp as the rear camera.
It works great though.
V10m-HKG-XX is what I'm on now anyway.

Hi. I currently own Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 for more than a year and I thought its good time to change phone. As you can see, Im a person who buys budget phones. I was searching for my next budget phone and Motorola Moto E LTE got my attention. I couldnt find a better deal than this, so I thought before making a final decision I will ask some opinions from people who got this phone. So, what do you think of Moto E and can you recommend it? What are biggest disadvantages and hows the performance? I already know that lack of flashlight is big hit for me.
Well it's a hard question. On stock 5.0.2 (there is still no update in eu) performance is preatty bad. Sometimes it runs smooth but there are cases when it lags horrible. I don't know who even installed chrome on this phone: it is cleary unusable however I instaled lighting browser and it works fine.
I've bought this phone because I tought that it will be my first smartphone which will be runing fine out of the box without modifications and I'm disapionted now :/ There is update in US and it probably fixes some of performance issues but when it will be available in eu? We still don't know.
Of course there is some good things like:
- of course price
- build quality
- very fast gps
- decent screen for it's price
- great battery life (up to 7h of screen on time)
- almost clean android
- decent speaker
- sd card slot and enabled android's app to sd
- up to date cpu (bigger chance that it will get android m)
- lte
- big data partion (we get 5gb out of 8gb so I think that's good)
- good light sensor
- and I very like it's look (but it's my own preference)
and what is bad now:
- performance on 5.0.2
- there is no e-compas! (my xperia x8 had compas in 2010)
- no notification led (this is very annoying since moto display is too sensitive and ambient display works randomly)
- fornt camera (back one is decent but sometimes it can't focus well)
- lack of camera flash
- updates aren't so fast (at least in eu)
- miracast isn't working (because of only 2,4 ghz wifi)
- moto features aren't working well on 5.0.2, for exaple twist to turn on camera isn't working properly (after twist I feel the vibration but screen isn't turning on)
So would I buy it again?? I don't know, it's performance is really discapointing right now. I compared it to moto g on 4.4.4 (which should be slower because of 720p screen and slower cpu) and it was like day and night. G was way faster.
Thats a bummer. I thought it was very good for basic usage like messages and browser. I heard Android 5.0 had memory leaks, but from what youre saying performance is really bad here. Is it fixed in 5.1?
well for basic usage it can make a job, I discabled all moto services that you can discable in settings, installed nova launcher, lighting browser and it's somehow working. When it starts lags I clean my recent apps and it helps.
The phone is preatty good but it was relased in bad time, in days of probably the worst android relase, lollipop looks cool but it can't be as fast as kitkat :/
howerer when I compared it to my other firend's moto g on stock 5.0.2 they were running simmilar and he told me that he hasn't got issues with it (but he often clear recent apps so maybe thats the reason)
I belive that 5.1.1 will fix all the issues, we have to wait.
I would appreciate other people opinions.
just too good a phone at this price

when i purchased it i dint have much expectations considering its cheap.but then as i am using it for over 2 months now ,i dont feel it as a cheap phone.it never hanged on me..not even once.though i have disabled quite a lot of stuff but thats fine...this is first phone i am running without rooting in last 5 years.and surprisingly i am not feeling need to .My battery lasts beyond 3 days and it runs fast enuf in comparison to my past phones which i had to root to make them usable(samsung s3 , s advance etc)
i wud say go fr it..5.1 update is sure to improve it further
When I first bought my moto e (xt1526) a few months back, at first it sucked. I wanted my ZTE max back. Everything was laggy. Even after the 5.1 update. So, I rooted and tinkered with roms that our great XDA developers have been working very hard on, until I found one that was somewhat solid. It ended up being a soak test 5.1 rom. It made the phone snappy and overall great. The only issue is my mic drops out on my bluetooth sometimes. Overall it is a great phone to me for its price.

Well, I think it cant be worse than my current Galaxy Ace 2.
I'm a Chinese user of the A2001 variant. Hydrogen OS got updated this week to 1.1.0. I soon found that it is a very good build compared to the version that comes with the phone and Oxygen OS 2.0.0. Nearly everything is better: OPT is now buttery smooth, home key is more sensitive, compatibility improves and the temperature is cooler (battery life hasn't been tested yet). It's good to see OPT staying on the right track. Hope it helps regain some confidence.
If you happened to have a Chinese variant, simply go for the OTA. If you want to switch from Oxygen OS, flash the full package
https://mega.nz/#!8tczGAqC!J0zVOkdTfE6mq9wHE3raT1kimrOIqP-eNIfHbWcnW1w
and Gapps (I'm using Gapps mininal for android 5.x), then the supersu 2.46 for root access. Clean flash is advised.
Since I'm staying in UK, the baseband on Chinese variant are not working properly for me. Sometimes LTE signal falls down to 3G and never comes back. I flashed the baseband from Oxygen OS 2.0.0 (download link) and the problem seems to be solved. You need to go into fastboot mode and then
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Enjoy!
[/ATTACH]
I tried HydrogenOS for a day. The first build of 1.1.0 was a bit buggy, but I noticed that the 2nd build came out this week which I assume is much better. I find the lack of widgets and tray icons very annoying. I have widgets that I like to glance at which provide information without opening an app, for example weather and aqi. The tray only displays the number of notifications you have, not what they are. More annoying than that, if you don't set an application to priority, it doesn't even count towards that number. I changed the default SMS app and didn't even realise I had a message waiting as there was no tray icon showing when the tray was closed! They have gone WAY to far on over simplifying things and have removed functionality.

These are not things that should be unique to HydrogenOS. They should also be fixed in the next build of OxygenOS. What for you makes the Hydrogen skin better than Oxygen?
Innovations are never bad. Even if you do not like any changes, the flexibility of android solves anything. Install third party launcher brings back widget.
I agree that the axe of icon tray is 'annoying' to one who is used to how old android works, however this is a matter of taste rather than quality. While majority of the people reject the windows 8 for its lack of start menu, still there are folks enjoying the idea of an unified experience. That was where Windows 10 comes from.
Hydrogen and Oxygen are not likely maintained by the same team. Hydrogen keeps getting updated every week (to mimick the mode found on MIUI) or two while Oxygen is set to a lower priority. It is like a mainstream version vs long term support version. With Hydrogen you will keep receiving newest feature and improvments. Anyway, I was just recommending what's better at the moment. It does not mean that Hydrogen will be inherently better than Oxygen at any time.

just sold my n6 today as the battery life is terrible, screen quality is ****. I couldnt wait and just went on to buy the 16gb version as i dont play game on phone. This phone is fking beautiful in real life, i got the bamboo cover too, the metal frame of this phone feels so good, even better than my htc m9, better to hold, better everything, screen is really good too.
i love this phone :fingers-crossed:
16 gb is, well, small. Only Spotify takes 6gb and a 4gb nandroid backup I have just in case. Lol.

i wouldnt call it crap cause there are things htc got it right, screen quality and speaker. But the m9 really gets uncomfortable to hold after 15 mins of light use (facebook, web, messaging).
the battery of this 1+2 is by far very good, much better than my n6. And its not uncomfortable to hold after long time of using, thats great.:good:
one thing i noticed after installing a kernel managing app is that the big cores are almost not used, and there is just 2 cores online at standby frequency (384). The LITTLE cores do almost (99%) of the work. But that could just be cause of my light usage, the phone performs better than the n6, so no complain
haha , just can wait for mine OP2

Could you also upload your gapps package? I tried various ones and none of them worked properly. Play Store worked, but I couldn't access my Google Account in Setting to sync mails and contacts.
How to flash
Hi,
How did you installed H2OS? Did you flash it with TWRP, with the stock recovery or the Chinese stock recovery like the latest version of H2OS for OPO?
Thanks

latest version
could you please upload the latest version of H2Os to MEGA or Drive.
I cant update via OTA
Thanks
I also want the new h2os. Would download it for my own but I don't know where I can search for the new update.

I am on the lookout for best VFM phone(with 820 chipset, decent camera), currently. I am a power user, hence, flashing/rooting is good with me.
My budget is INR 20K. How would you rate LEMax2 ?
With CM13 ROM, are all issues hw/sw resolved ?
please let me know since I am buying for wifey. And she is not techie.
Thanks for your time.
I am using Cm13 (Mokee) + pixel Launcher, about 2 days and everything is working fine.
on cm13 camera is pretty bad, everything else worked for me (except IR, but i'm not using it)
Buying for wife and she isn't a techie? Then just stick with the latest stock Indian firmware and put Google Now, Pixel or ZenUI launcher on there. Everything works fine, it's fast, stable and has Google services properly preinstalled. The way eui has the notifications is clean and easy to use, and having the quick toggles in the multitasking shade is fine once you get used where they are. Battery life is good. She won't really gain anything from CM.
If you're going to review it, then I strongly advice to mention about the fingerprint issue, it is really hit or miss. Mine worked for 14 days and now is kinda dead, I even flashed 3-4 Roms, but still I can't get it to work.
EDIT: From what I read in LeEco forums, fingerprints issues seems due to faulty hardware, but I guess no one really knows if it is HW or SW related. I tried MoKee, CM 13 and EUI (Cuoco92), and none of them worked so far.
Camera is little above average, you can take pretty good shots with enough lighting, otherwise it's not that great in darkest places.
I really enjoy the screen, IPS panel and QuadHD resolution make everything sharper, with well balanced colors and more over has good visibility outdoors with sunlight.
I don't like AMOLED screens, they have way too saturated colors for my tastes, but that is up to your personal preferences.
I would recommend it, given a few flaws like no expandable memory, no jack audio, software support uncertain, fingerprint not that great.
But after all, where else you can find a device with 4GB RAM, Snap820 and QuadHD 5,7" screen for less than 200 €?
Hi, thanks for the feedback. Is fingerprint issue h/w or s/w issue ?
I thought it might be s/w bug, which would be resolved thru update to stock/ CM rom.
Also, how is the camera, screen. Do you recommend it as the best VFM phone ?
Thanks,
Thanks, I like to keep phones updated to latest android version. I saw some activity related to CM13/CM14. Is it a dead/slow end ?
I would like to buy the phone only if there is sufficient support for the device. And if there are not h/w issues. fingerprint works well ?
Thanks @Star_dust6, thanks for the update. I should be good to order it then
Honestly on the ROM it shipped with I did have some hit or miss issues with the fingerprint sensor. Since flashing the official indian ROM I've had zero issues. Only when my hands are dirty, but that is to be expected.
Can someone explain to me the logic behind Huawei's decision to skip over the 161 update for many markets, and only giving us the 168 update that brings nothing but the June security patch?
We were promised that camera tweaks are on the way, and I was desperate for this update as I find this camera, and as great as it is, to be inconsistent in terms of colors and exposure. But after weeks of waiting, we got an update that delivers no tweaks and improvements to the cameras or the performance and UI of the phone.
I'm starting to get sick of Huawei's decision to spoil some markets with their software, like China for example, and screwing the majority of the world with their slow, and in this case, meaningless updates. The OnePlus 7 Pro, Note 10, or the next Pixel 4 are looking like a great option if Huawei keeps on going with such pace in regards to updates.

Not with it's latest update. And even without the update, you can easily install a Gcam port that gives you pretty close pictures to those you get from the Pixel.
Anyways, I'm not saying I'm ditching my P30 Pro in the coming few days, but Huawei's update policy is slowly pushing me out of their door.

I got version 168 yesterday; yes no camera improvement was mentioned in the change log, but I noticed the difference in terms of quality especially in 5x-10x zoom. I like the color now compare in the previous version. Maybe they skipped 161 due to over exposure of highlights (like sky) when you took a photo

I'm asking because the 168 doesn't bring any improvements to the images processing, it's only a security patch update.

Again, that's impossible, as the 168 update is only a security patch update. It's size is 124mb for a reason, it didn't even bring performance improvements.
Anyways, you can go to settings/software update/current version, and you can see that it's only for updating the security patch.

It doesn't mean that when it's security patch is listed, it doesn't have camera improvement.
I've observed how huawei works their OTA, they don't usually list all fixes in the changelog even in my P10 at Mate 10 pro before because I monitor changes in firmware finder app before the actual release
Camera app is less 60Mb only and it only need few tweaks to improve.
130Mb is big enough for many minor tweaks

Bro, why are you debating something that you can easily find on XDA and Huawei forums? Huawei themselves, said that the reason why many markets didn't get the 161 that is focused on bringing camera improvements, is because it has compatibility issues with phones released outside of China and the few markets that will receive it. The 168 update is only, and again, only been pushed to bring the latest security patch.
You can even sideload the latest version of the camera app, but you will see zero improvements in image processing, as the improvements were only pushed in the 161 and 162 updates.

LOL. I'm not debating, I'm telling you what I've observed because I used the camera a lot, more than you use it. I'm a photographer and I can see the difference from the previous version. Go out and test it.

I hate to be that guy, but here is your comment on this subject under another post, admitting that this update is just about bringing the June security patch, and that's it.
And you're a photographer, not a prophet. You can be wrong about tbings.
I tested the camera before and after.
Huawei released the full changelog about this update.
Huawei themselves explained why not all markets are getting the update that improves the image processing on this phone.
The web is full of forums discussing this, and you're the 1st person to claim that a 124mb has made the camera on his phone take better pictures.
I respect that you're a photographer, but that doesn't mean your words can't be flase. All the above points prove that this updats has nothing to do with image processing.

I'm quite annoyed too, I was expecting the upgrade with the 161 camera improvements, but directly to the 168, there is no way to manually install the 161?
I'm on the .161 if I update to the latest fw I'll lost the camera improvements?
One thing you can do is download full firmware 168 and see if the new camera update exist in the firmware.
Got the update today without the improvement, will do later today a full firmware flash via erecovery to check if the new camera is included.

We only have to pray and wait hahaha
Isnt the camera just an app? there's no way for someone with .309 to pull it from the phone and post it?

You can, matter of fact, I installed the 309 version, and nothing has changed. The improvements in image processing are brought through the software update, not the camera app itself.

There are user reported in Sony official forum that they received new firmwave update 55.0.A.6.16, anyone receive the update? Any improvement and changes in changelog?
No changelog as Sony tends to not release changelog. One thing for sure is that it contains the August security update. So far, it's released only in RU and UA (J9110) and EE UK (J8110).
Hoping for a lot of improvements, especially that they bumped the version number from 0.A.2 to 0.A.6.
Prepare to be disappointed... again
I received the August update for J9110. The file size was about 100MB, so it's just a security update.

I am so disappointed in software treatment of Xperia 1.
So far no pics in 21:9 no matter mid rangers like X10 has it... No 4k 60 fps recording. No pics quality improvement, no bug fixes for 4k video stabilization... No night mode or improvement to overblown light sources.
Not only camera. No fixes to nothing, just a poor copy paste of Google's security patch...
Hence no changelog (in fact there is no any other change).
I think this may be my last Xperia device after so many years being loyal to this brand...

Phones only been out a couple months, give it time
Only change I noticed is the time it takes the camera to process a picture, 2 sec now.
