I've found after updating to MiFavor 5.0 B08 that Daydream VR was getting a incompatible phone message and not opening. I thought it was a bug because many apps which relies on Play Services were not working. So I went back to MiFavor 4.
When MiFavor 5.0 B13 version came out one of these days, I've updated and again got the same error. So I dig into ZTE's official chinese forum and using Chrome translator I've found that they are not supporting Daydream VR anymore on updated chinese version.
Yes, that's right. ZTE have shut down one of the most important reason that I've bought this phone (and I think there are a lot of users that bought because of this too).
Now we have to stay locked with a Nougat version that is still compatible or unlock bootloader and change to US or G ROM.
Great move, ZTE! Always thinking on your consumers when ditching out Android features, specially the one you heavily promoted to increase your sells.
Another post with user complaining and getting the same robotic answer.
That realy sux and will lose ZTE a lot of customers who will go elsewhere next purchase.
Hopefully a bug which will be fixed.
is this true?.. im thinking of buying this phone being the cheapest with Daydream com patibility and if not..
He's talking about the CHINESE version the international one supports Daydream
Mine is stock on 7.1 1 Nougat at MiFavor UI 4.2 and is Daydream compatible. Need a Daydream View 2 next but will have to be careful if any updates break it.

Might be just that it is a Google service and China blocks things Google.
I'm still thinking if I rollback to MiFavor 4.2 or try the Toolkit to convert my phone to US ROM. I really enjoy MiFavor 5.0 in all aspects. It's a pity that they removed Daydream support from now on. At least it seems they did. Hope they change their minds and it returns in future updates.
And I agree with you. I think it has something to do with Google services blocked in China.
What’s so important on ZTE stock launcher and can’t live without it??
It’s so so poor of customization and lack many features others third party launcher offer.
First thing did when bought Axon 7(G) version is get rid of stock launcher as also replace most of the out of box app with much better third one.
Version 5 MiFavor look very MUI style witch sucks as it is iOS wannabe.

Of course, anything by Google is banned in China.

Be aware that Daydream mode forces pretty much everything on the phone to run at max even if it's not completely necessary. The phone overheats incredibly quickly. The Daydream View 2 uses a mini heatsink to help a little but I doubt it will do much. I have the original Daydream View and VR is pretty much unusable on this phone much like the original Pixel/Pixel XL. That is unless you like your battery hitting 50C and rapidly degrading. Naturally the phone will throttle if just the battery is that hot.
I can't speak for the Pixel/XL, but the Axon 7 uses its own battery as a heatsink, it has a heatpipe running from the SoC to the battery. I wouldn't have bought this phone if I knew that. Or many other things...
Working just fine on my ResurrectionRemix Rom on 7.1.2 - just have to change a value in the build.prop and you're good to go
Hi, rafabrasil85, I have the same problem, can you tell the IMEI of your phone? I might ask ZTE technicians by email, so...
---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------
Hi, have you find the solution to your phone and VR?
Hi. I gave up and reinstalled MiFavor 4 chinese ROM compatible with VR. But in the process I unlocked bootloader and rooted. So I'll stay like this for a while. In future I'll change for Global or US version.
Hi, paatha13, what is your phone mode number? A2017, or A2017G? A2017 is Chinese version, have you tried VR in A2017 or A2017U? Thanks for your reply.
rafabrasil85, to which version do You downgrade?because i downgrade to b17 clear data and cache and still dont have compatibility with daydream

I am confused in buying this tablet ...I fear that kitkat will soon get outdated and i will not be able to use some apps... I have read many forums but nobody discussed of the update for pad to lollipop...Will it ever get updated ...and if not will I be able to use apps even after incompatibility with kitkat(if there is any way to get out of the problem)???
there's no way to get any decent rom out of xiaomi as they don't release the source code.
there's a few ported 5.0 roms put there but many things are not working yet and development is very slow (it's been months and there's no updates)
MIUI 7 is just released, but still in kk.
i don't think xiaomi will move to lollipop anytime soon.
save yourself the trouble, go get other tablets.
sad to hear that, i'm planning to buy 1, i want this this tab just because of it's powerful specs, high battery and size.
hope we can have at least lollipop update from Mi
After experiencing the lack of real updates on the Mi Pad, I've given up the purchase of many Mi devices.
For example, the Redmi Note 2 is a great device at a killer price (about $130 here) with near-flagship specs. But it is stuck on 5.0, so of course I'm not getting it because I know it'll be stuck down for a long time simply because MIUI never releases code, and never releases kernel even though they're supposed to.
If the kernel was released by Xiaomi you'd have killer roms on these devices in a single week.

There won't be one. Xiaomi only has 4 developers working on Mi Pad, part time. And the support has been terrible. As a MiPad owner, I'm horribly disappointed. Their support for their other phones are just as awful.
according to miui forum they need beta tester to apply global beta team for miui7 MM base for xiaomi device http://en.miui.com/thread-197475-1-1.html
lets pray sodamn hard mipad will get it too
Other then 4.4.4 updates as in just the apps here and there Mi Pad will NEVER be getting Android 5 nor Android 6. They the MODS that have no idea either since launch been saying "wait and see". If you search you find MIUI said about marshmellow just what would be getting updated and MI PAD is NOT there.
Yes, MIUI 8 for Mi Pad is available now, I think so
Miui 8 is available on the Chinese ROM only.
A general point is that in the fast moving world of mobile telephone sales, to stay profitable, you must come up with new and better models regularly. This means a limited software shelf life for old phones, where 'old' means over 2 years. Of course there won't be support for older models, most owners have bought other handsets by then, anyway. Of course xiaomi should release the source code though.
Well, I cannot say much about MI Pad support as I do not have that one, but pretty much ANY MI devices got MIUI 8 now. Yes, some are running on top of old Android, but it does not matter much for most users, and please tell me which company supports such old devices as Redmi 1s? What is offered with Huawei T1-A21L tablet still commonly offered across Europe by 3? Correct 4.4 with no plans to give any updates. So let us be more objective. Well, I agree, to get sources would be nice. BTW, di we get them for Nvidia own device?
Its time to let the source kod loose...why are they Holding this for them selfs ? If they are smart release the source kod and maybe just maybe we forget about that they didnt support us.... 1 thing is for sure, i will never ever buy a Xiaomi product again! And i hope you guys are with Me on this One, this Company is a joke !
Good news, the Kernel just released. Finally! https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/mocha-kk-oss/kernel

Im with you. the support for this tablet has been pathetic. Really regretted buying it. Hopefully now we have source code some good folk will make it usable again
Only custom. Not by xiaomi
it seems that its about nvidia... because mi 3 td also use kk in miui8.mi 2s use lolipop in miui6(5.0.2).also,cm12.1 is better then miui now.and i suggest you to flash cm12.1

What issues ? If you know of problems you should help the developer and submit logs so they can be addressed. It (CM13) works fine on all versions of the 5X.

camera hangs and sucks batttery like crazy if you do 2 hdr photos. Don't use hdr.
dt2wake doesn't use the proximity sensor to filter bogus d2twake triggers and therefore can turn on too easily in your pocket.
fingerprint sensor
fm radio: works fine but attempting to record audio causes the it to hang, be impossible to stop and keep playing the radio.
other gestures (I don't even know what they are because I didn't run stock long enough to find out so if you want support tell me)
selinux is in permissive mode
switching data subscriptions between sims requires manually setting your preferred network to 2G before switching
smart view case support
single sim hardware: requires unplugging and replugging sim after every boot
Dev getting plenty of feedback ...
It not suitable for GR5 KII devices or at least not tested & no specific KII kernal ...

generic
There is no question the MDZ-18-AA can run a few cycles faster but that has nothing to do with Netflix.
No generic android box enjoys recognition and support by Netflix to produce streams higher than 480 resolution.
The MDZ-16-AB is in a unique category of Official AndroidTV devices which have the proper DRM licenses, and are authorized by Netflix to stream at 1080/4UHD resolution. All assuming you have suitable bandwidth, proper Netflix subscription level, and an output device that fully conforms to standards stipulated by Netflix.
Don't be overcome by specsmanship. For your stated requirement for Netflix in the android world, only the mdz-16-ab or another Officially blessed AndroidTV device like Nvixia Shield or Airtv box will suffice.

Its a beautiful device with almost no issues. but one big problem, its got Chinese OS. I want international ROM to be installed. Is there anything we can do for that?
Is there an official Int'l ROM for this device? Unofficial ROMS might be having a few bugs.

Start studying Chinese!!
Have you ever seen an official Xiaomi release of international rom for their boxes that are designed for Chinese home market? Of course not. Every box they have produced is for domestic consumption except for one......
There is a single model MDZ-16-AB that is produced for worldwide use outside PRC.
Both models are garbage, Xiaomi makes cheap Chinese junk that gets no product support. Buy an Nvidia Shield TV.
They trolled all their customers with the Mi Box pretending to release Nougat, now pretending to release Oreo. Meanwhile everyone is still stuck with a 2.5 year old OS.
Hello Guys,
I’m considering buying Huawei 10 (NOT Pro), but since it’s not officially available in the countries I spend most my time in (Poland and UK), I’ll have to get it from Chinese shop. Having said that, I have my concerns and I’d be glad if you could walk me through them. My apologies if some on those questions were already answered, but some of the feedback I’ve gather from this forum come from the “early days” of this phone and I don’t know if they are still valid. Let’s get to it:
1) Is the system in Polish language? It might be under “(…) and many more languages” but I’d like to know
2) I should be looking for version L29, correct? Are those “international” versions on sites like https://www.giztop.com/huawei-mate-10.html really international, or just Chinese ones with switched software?
3) My current phone is Oneplus 3 – and I admire the simplicity of almost-stock Android. How much off a detour is MIUI in comparison? Will I have to deal with a lot of bloating in the system?
4) Since there won’t be a version for “big” markets like US and UK – could there be any issues with updates? Will Huawei abandon the support for international version anytime soon – speculatively speaking? Or is it possible for them to introduce this phone to US/UK/PL, but later?
5) I’d be taking 4gb 64gb version, but I’ve been using 6gb phone for a while now – will this “downgrade” be visible in daily use?
6) I’ve seen some complaints about the camera. I understand it’s not “perfect”, but right now I’m using oneplus3+g.cam port from Pixel 2 – so I should still experience a bump in quality, right?
7) I want to buy it from this site https://www.giztop.com/huawei-mate-10.html. Is there any reason I should pick a different one/wait?
Thank you for all your future answers, and apologies for a longer post.
Cheers!
I'm in a similar situation. I'm planning to buy from eBay the international version. The sellers there are based in either France or Ireland, they say they give you a year warranty but crucially you have PayPal protection.
I've seen other sites where a minority of phones never turn up or are broken and it's incredibly hard to get the money back.

1 - I don't know for sure but it should be there !
2 - Yes L29 is the version you should look for ! You can get one from here https://www.ebay.fr/itm/NEUF-HUAWEI...234857?hash=item4b2e0e4729:g:41oAAOSwytJaE9rW that's where I got one for my uncle
3 - EMUI is very customised version of Android but with big possibilities for themes so you should be able to make it look as you want
4 - We can't be sure of anything in that domain ^^ I just left Samsung because of giving update slowly... But for sure as the flagship of the brand it should get update faster than others
5 - It'll not. Some may not agree with me but 4gb of Ram is largely enough today !
6 - As I'm not a professionnal I could not tell ^^ but for sure Mate 10 camera is amazing and will only improve with software update improving AI
7 - As I answered on 2, you can get it from dwi on ebay, I've took 2 phones from them (S7 dual sim and Huawei Mate 10)
I live in the UK and I bought the L29 version, it works fine and you can select the system language when you setup the phone. The only issue I found is HiCloud wouldn't work but I rebranded to the L09 version and everything works
To answer your point 6
I'm also using a ported version of the camera app on my previous phone which is a Xiaomi Mix and the phone is notorious for its very poor camera lens.
It surprises me totally what software can achieve where the hardware fails at.
Even on the ****ty camera, the software managed to capture IMO equal or more details as compared to M10 on the pro mode.
So at the end of the day. Your OP3 having a better lens than the Xiaomi Mix should experience probably equal or maybe seeing a 5 to 10% bump in details.
If there's ever a chance that M10 could have the ported camera from Pixel on our phone I'll definitely be a very happy man.
Hi jay. I too live in the UK and planning the buy the L29. Was the re branding just to get the hicloud? Or were there other features?
Thanks

Thanks for the link. I'm not referring to the stock Google camera but the exact one on the pixel phone.
https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/www...gle-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/amp/
It is the HDR+ that makes all the difference but sadly Google only enables it for the Pixel phone.
Hey sorry to jack this thread but whats the drawbacks of the Chinese version, bloat ware?? And wouldn't it get updates faster?
Also, wouldn't it be a better idea to buy the AL00.. 128 GB, 6 GB RAM Chinese Mate 10 version if you wanted to keep that 6GB of ram?
I just killed my HTC 10 with water so I'm thinking upgrading to the 6GB ram version would be a better move coming from 4GB. I just wish it wasn't so expensive lol 4GB international version is about $800 CND on ebay..

so which Huawei Mate 10 Pro 128gb version are you supposed to buy? there's L29 on ebay, L09 on clove uk website. handtec uk HM10P128TG, what's the difference between all of these? dual sim on amazon uk 128gb. L29 on wondamobile international version.
eglobal uk CN version. eglobal prices vary for 128gb version, why is that?
sorry so many questions!
essentially i'd want to root and custom rom, is there really dev support for this, I'm coming from samsung and devs have been a lot etc. im over samsung note series lol...
thx
Does anybody knows any store in USA that have Mate 10? My friend is traveling, at Orlando right now and he will bring to me. I don't know how customs works at USA so I think it's not a good idea to buy at Chinese sites

I live in the UK and I bought the L29 version, it works fine and you can select the system language when you setup the phone. The only issue I found is HiCloud wouldn't work but I rebranded to the L09 version and everything works

Well that's the Mate 10 Pro, not the Mate 10, the Pro does not have an SD card slot. I don't know what the CN is but the L29 I had was for the Singapore market, so Huawei Cloud didn't work until I flashed the L09 Firmware

yeah I noticed it's the pro, tbh I wanted the finger scanner on the back. I'm going from a lifetime of sd card to no sd card. feel like I'd need a tutorial on how to go about that and backing up consistently lol....
think I can get away with no SD card
so how come they list an item with no model number?
also can you change the soft key buttons placements? move them into opposite spots etc lol?

hi everyone
i just wonder when we can get Android 8 oreo for Galaxy C7
such a smartphone with this performances 4G of ram, 64go internal memory, powerfull processor qualcomm 626 (8 X 2.02 ghz) ,1080p resolution.................
why theres no develepments for this device ?
no roms port no custom roms !
hope android 8 come soon
Oreo will not come for the C7. Samsung has a specific update policy. S, A and Note series are getting two major updates. The other series are either getting a major update or not at all. For example, the J series gets one major update. The C series is a local series. The C series is a special series to the far east. It is also now joined with the J series. The other name of C8 is J7+. As a result, if the J-series receives the single major update, the C-series also receives the single major update. The only major update of the C7 was Nougat.
Do not hope for Oreo.
ok i get it thank you so what about custom roms ported roms ?? also there's no development for it !!!

No!, C-series will have two major system update!
Samsung has recently post a notice in the Samsung Members app, the notice said that it will have Oreo update in October!
And also the what u said in your word, that all J-series won't have two major system update,but J7 Prime will have Oreo update too
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Today, I have a question and I got this answer. This is good news for us but there is always the possibility that Samsung can change this calendar. Because in the past, Samsung had deleted many devices in the Nougat update calendar and did not update them. They have already written that they can change it in the answer they give. All we can do is trust Samsung and wait to update.
By the way, the comments I made about the single update of the J series came up as a result of my observations. I have information about this in my country as a source at epey.com. The site is writing the first Android version and the latest Android version of the devices. If you take a good look, you will get something like: S, Note and A series devices are getting two major updates and the other series are either getting single updates or not updating at all.
The C series is a new series. For this reason I can not make a definite comment. But C8 is called J7 + in different countries. And since the J-series gets one big update, I think it's the C-series too.
In the old Nougat update calendar, many devices from series J would receive the second major update. But the times were all removed from the calendar. I said I should trust Samsung, but not trusting is the best option. We will be happy if the update comes, but we will not be sorry if it does not.

But what if Samsung change it's rules of system update?
Likes Apple, they maybe change their rules by giving two update on C and J series, and three update for S,Note and A series. Like what Apple did on their iPhones, they give their iPhones three iOS update, iPhone 5s get iOS 12!
So I think Samsung may change their rules by comparing to Apple

Apple was already giving more updates than 2 major updates. The iPhone 4S came out with iOS 5, but was updated up to 9.3. The iPhone 5 came out with iOS 6, but was updated up to 10. The iPhone 5S came out with iOS 7, but was updated up to 11 and this is the latest update of iPhone 5S. So Apple gives 4 major updates. Samsung always gives 2 major updates to some models.
Of course, Samsung can make changes in the update policy. But as I tell you, Samsung is a brand that can remove many devices from the list over time.
I say again: If the update comes, we will be happy. But let's not hope for updates. If the update does not come, we will not be bad. :good:

Bro I saw that notice in the Samsung Members app notice section, it is named Oreo Update Schedule Notice.
And when it comes, idk what exactly when, but according to the notice it'll probably come out on October.
Bro, I'm confused too about the update, because I have many Samsung phones and I don't know if they can get Oreo or the future Android 9 Pie.:laugh:

Well, we can see C7 Pro have beta update of Android 8.0.0 on SamMobile. But it doesn't mean all C series will get that. May get as you said. Because there is two reasons;
-Pro C series come with 6.0.1 stock. But Samsung changed their UI like Android 7.
- That series released in 2017.
I can't understand Samsung in this regard. There is Android 7.1 available when they released. But why Samsung stayed on the 6.0.1.. I don't know.
In short... On mine opinion don't hope to 2016 C series will get Oreo... May get, may not. Depends on Samsung...
Oreo cooming soooooooon????
