hopefully an english firmware will be available

I'm considering to buy Amazfit 2 from taobao. Since my pace haven't got any scratches to the glass during 1.5 years of use, I have no interested to pay 500RMB extra for leather strap and saphir glass - or is there some additional catch with 2S?
Could someone who already have the Amazfit 2 give a try for changing the system language to English via adb?

mine is on the way. I hope I can easily change the language to English.

If you understand Chinese you will see shop is in another region, but looks like is the only official one, shops in Shanghai they buy it from them.
I had to wait 12 days to get it, now looks like it is just 4/5 day, then they ship out with SF so one day for delivery.

But doesn't it have HR sensor?

Yes it does, as is described everywhere.
But some people have complained that the sensor is not accurate enough, so you now can connect an external one.

a lot of users who bought the smartwatch are looking for an English Firmware, hopefully it will be available soon

Hello,
HR sensors on watch it is always less accurate than bends. This is why for who is interested on "hight level" sports tracks they offer watches that can be paired with external devices.
Note: HR Amazfit sensor is better than HW 1 and 2 sensor. already tested.

Hello, that's not the clue, for sure US version will be released in a 3-4 month as company already said.
The fact is that we have to look forward to have the trick to move chinese version to english. As you may know chinese version is always better than US one cause company follow update and new stuffs more closely

[Q] Lenovo s6000-H problem

Ladies and gentleman
I bought a Lenovo S6000-H in China for a friend of mine at a very good price. The problem is that it is full of Chinese, the Google Play store does want to work and at the moment we are feeling our way through the Lenovo store becuase of the Chinese.
Here is my question; Can I download all new firm/software for the tablet in order to look like I bought it from South Africa or the closest region, also hoping that the Play Store will work? It is currently running android 4.22. If yes where can I download it?
Thanks!

Hi there. We don't see a lot of Lenovo phones in the states, but have gotten to play with one a while back. I'm certain that if just change the language to English in the Settings, you should be fine. I would be REALLY surprised if it did not have English as an option due to the fact that many people in China (and surrounding areas where they sell the phone) speak it. I was able to navigate through the Lenovo when it was in Chinese just from the icons in the Settings app. Should be the one with a letter on a computer key. Most of the time, the first option or so in the Language & Input section is the language. It should be a very similar process to this: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-...language-of-the-Lenovo-K900-from/ta-p/1195353

[Q] Pioneer AVH-4000nex updated to support Android Auto

Hello Guys! I've seen a lot of frustrated guys out there that were disappointed that Pioneer won't update their 4000nex units to support Android Auto. I saw this posted and wondered if this guy can do it so quickly, surely someone here could accomplish the same. I'm tempted to purchase his solution. Anybody have any thoughts as to whether this is safe?

this would be pretty freaking rad. the two head units from what everything is pointing to, are identical aside from the software. i would like to believe this is legit. i have been eye balling a 4000. the android auto would be a nice feature to have but it is lame on their part to not do a firmware update.
I have loaded it into my head unit. The program loads but right now there is no audio for android auto. Im waiting for an update and will give it a try at that point. I wish I were savy enough to know what to do but unfortunately I'm not. I have the firmware and can upload it if anybody who is interested wants to take a look.

I designed something myself as for a firmware interface to work with the 4000NEX. If you don't mind though, I'd like to take a look at what you have to see if mine is exactly mirrored or a bit different. Two things I noticing here is when it was posted he said he couldn't get the bluetooth to work for it, which I have rerouted a fix for that. But as for the audio not working for android auto, I want to see what is different on what you have and what I have. Mine worked fine when trialled, but it could be because of my current system already having bluetooth in the truck. If you don't mind, can you upload it here or email it to me? jared.balsor at gmail dot com
It would be great to get AA on the 4000NEX.
Hopefully someone here can get the firmware to work 100%. I'd be willing to donate.

By chance are you making any progress or updates on this? I would love to get a copy of the firmware with working bluetooth audio streaming.
a guy on avic411 has been making some real good progress on this as well.

Yeah same here. Pisses me off that I only bought that head unit a year ago, and they updated the firmware for apple carplay but not android auto.
Firmware for NEX4000 to make it useful, please
I'm so irritated at Pioneer i could spit. I've updated to 1.11, got the MHL HDMI to usb adapter for my Galaxy Note 4, and then found out that i bought the crappy 4000NEX. The 4100? Son of a *****.
So, sell me 1 of your lauded & much praised firmware please, good sir. ☺

VR Headset for Zmaxpro

All I can say with VR capability of Zmaxpro is :laugh: .
I bought a $20 one from walmart. Pain in the ass though coz this phone is huuuuge :good: It is pressing on the buttons and so my husband is 'tweaking' the gear to solve that problem.
Dunno if there is a VR headset that can fit this phone without problem but since I can't wait to try it. I just shove my phone in the headset without its holder LOL. IT works but my phone of course is not snug in place.
Still wow. UNBELIEVABLE! I thought I would not be sucked into this VR thing but wow. The only reason I 'gave' in is coz the headset is not overprice like crazy. For $20 wow really amazing.
And Zmaxpro is VR awesomest!!! Just sharing my happiness with the VR experience in this phone.
And no I am NOT gonna root this awesome phone don't want to lose its VR capability no way.
Just want to share my head is spinning and am about to puke after I played 'Returning home' VR game. Ugh. And then I had an error 491 out of the blue and can't update or install anything from playstore.
None of the solutions online worked for me. If I was not 'traumatized' by all this stupid locks on new phones ESPECIALLY FRP and google verify locks, I would have factory reset my phone in a heartbeat.
Instead I went to ZTE website. By the way, really impressed with the live chat support ZTE people. Your customer support is 100001% better and lightning fast may I add, than alcatel which I believe is NON EXISTENT!
Anyway, just want to share that I factory reset it no problem. Without being locked out AS IT SHOULD BE!! But to play safe I remove my google account like the live chat agent told me.
It is the ONLY way that solved my error 491. Just don't forget to remove your google account first before you factory reset.
I bought my phone brand new too and it is not rooted. So maybe that's why I didn't get locked out.
Just sharing to anyone that get the error 491.
I also want to say this is my fave phone by far out of all the android phones I had and they are like many. Before I had this, my fave one was Galaxy s2.
This is my open letter suggestion to ZTE people who are (in my mind ) reading on this forums :good: I love my zmaxpro. I loooove it. I mean I have been peddling this awesome phone in this forum EVERY chance I get.
Dear ZTE people,
My phone is the awesomest! Thank you. I just hope you fix the slow internet surfing on my phone please? When I click on the video on an article in the internet it is also slow. AND.... please make my phone be updated in nougat Android 7 for free like right now?
Because I just read about this new VR software from google and so I KNOW once my phone is updated to nougat Android 7 my phone will also be daydream ready!!! I know now why you are not advertising my phone as VR ready. You are capitalizng that on axon 7. LOL. I get it. It's my win though coz I have this VR ready phone for cheap! Or else I won't buy it!!!
Thanks and anxiously waiting for my free nougat Android 7 update, hopefully
I recommend the bohemian rhapsody VR app, LOL. It is FTW! I also like Cyclops duckhunt. I really feel like I am cyclops from xmen. You don't need controllers for those games. The best games are those that you can control by headtrack. No controller needed. I love horror movies and games that's why my fave game is resident evil. I just can't with VR. Because this is literally in my face more like my eyes magnified. I tried a few horror apps that really works good on this phone. I can't finish it. I am too chicken to finish it.
ZTE people. I am really disappointed though that there are a lot of bugs in this phone. I hope you really fix this. The only way I can really be happy with this phone even if it has this bugs though is if you will finally update zmax pro for Android N. ALREADY PLEAAASSEEE! I will bug you here and also in your ZTE website. I won't stop until I get what I want.
Two words. Android N.

General On Google Apps - people don't seem to realize this phone is available in Taiwan

I've watched a couple reviews of this phone and people keep saying oh the YouTube app sucks because YouTube is banned in the PRC or whatever, but the phone is widely available here in Taiwan, and taiwanese people use Google apps extensively. So perhaps optimizations will come before oppo does a more international release (it's already internationally released since Taiwan isn't the PRC lol). I'm gonna go check out the phone today at an oppo shop so will get an idea then. Would he funny if I could somehow grab Samsung's version of some apps to throw on there.
Hi Komali2 do you have any news?
I got my phone from giztop and my YouTube works flawlessly. It came with Google Play Services installed I downloaded YouTube and the bonus is its full screen.

Where in Taiwan is it available, can you share the store name? also at what price is it selling there ?
just download the apk
I've already buy with Giztop and now i wait the delivery to my country (Belgium).
I ask to Giztop that keep my box sealed and not open ... then i must instal myself Play Store.
I hope fast delivery and no duties tax because seller said to me no duties.
For the installlation of the apk of Play Store, there is a tuto ?
Easy ?
Where can i found official and last apk for Playstore ?
I installed Google Play from apkmirror (just search for goole play apk on google.co.uk - first hit). The latest right now is
Version: 28.8.17-21 [0] [PR] 420363821 (82881710) arm64-v8a. Google services are already installed on the Find N, so you just need to install the Goople Play APK, download your apps, set GBoard as the default keyboard, and then it acts mostly like a western ROM after that.
Note: apkmirror and and some of the other sites like apkpure, are fairly safe; *but* sideloading apk files is always at your own risk.
OK, i think apkpure and apkmirror are trusted sources and safe ... but never sure at 100% !

Odd; I setup the phone from scratch and then used the latest apk from apk mirror and it all worked fine. Only thing I can think of is that the google services have been overwritten by your Note 9 versions? Try reverting those?
How can i reverting because i've already delete old Playstore apk and download new from apk mirror but it's the same...
