Hi guys and girls,
I'm looking at getting a new phone soon and my choices I've narrowed it down to, for different reasons, are these:
Google Pixel 2 XL - good battery life, great camera, pure android
OnePlus 5T - good battery life, good development scene
Huawei Mate 10 Pro - can get a good deal on it, great battery, great camera
Cons of the Mate 10 Pro all revolve around EMUI. Bugs/features I've heard about so far are these:
Non-push notifications not working
No notification drawer on lock screen
Quick reply actions etc not always working
These all seem really annoying and are things I wouldn't have a problem with on the Pixel 2. I could root, and install AOSP, but that would just have different bugs, and I'd lose the AI which is obviously a big feature of this phone, plus the camera quality would be lost.
So I'm looking for any users who have either had these issues fixed, or know workarounds, or have any other little bugs that I should know about.
Thanks

Thanks. Not a big widget user, but annoying to know things like that are broken. Do you think that once the phone is released in the states, support will be better? Pretty big market

Its difficult to say, it seems like a simple fix for Huawei, so don't know why it's taken so long to sort out.

And that's the sort of thing I'm concerned about. They are a massive manufacturer and therefore you'd think that issues like this should be sorted at release. I understand that Oreo is still new and all manufacturers will have issues, but this would be my first Huawei phone and I'd like it to be in good shape! And a good experience.
Audio switches from bluetooth to loudspeaker after some time.
Call quality is very bad due to the AI chip.
Since these issues are there since release, I wouldn't recommend that you buy the Mate 10 Pro.
12 pages of bluetooth issues on German forums: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...0-pro-android-8-bluetooth-problem.853624.html
The two issues stopping me from buying this now are what I've heard that third party apps don't show notifications on the lockscreen always on display and the LED works spordically.
Pretty important that I know I have notification considering this is a communications device I would say.
Also there are reports about poor wifi and cell signal.

I'm using OPO for 2 years and counting . It's good phone to me but it seems old so i'm looking for new phone.
Le max 2 price in my contry is: 250$ for 4GB/32GB version. It sounds pretty cheap, isnt it? 250$ for brandnew phone, Snap 820, 4GB is quite interesting
My main usage is:
+ phone
+ social apps
+ phone call recorder app, voice memo
+ some small apps
+ and small game like slither.io,..
My OPO is very lightweight with Exodus rom, i wonder which rom to use with Le Max 2 to have same experience.
How about Lemax 2 battery, back camera and design. Please share your experience and suggestions!
up...........
no
its only $220 today in china.
http://m.gsmarena.com/leeco_le_max2_receives_price_cut_in_china-blog-20171.php
but without the sources its a dead phone on the next few months. hope they will release the sources.

220$ for snap 820, 2k screen,.. but bad support
Le Eco or LeTV (Whatever they want to call themselves today) can practically give this phone for free but still people, especially the developer community will not touch this phone.
Le is so protective of their custom EUI that they don't want enterprising modding community to make custom ROMs for it. If no one is interested in buying your products, then what is the use of trying to be Apple regarding their software?
BTW EUI is not perfect. It is pathetic unoptimized piece of turd and the less we talk about the random bugs the better.

so shouldnt buy it
If Sources are released then it'll be a beast,even then its a good device,No issues except fingerprint is little slow compared to others.Just bought a sealed packed in 14k in India & very happy
They will never release source, their whole company plan is to sell phones with no profit and instead earn money by the streaming function that is built in the rom.
This phone is really the cheapest high-end or close-to-high-end device, it outclasses the Zuk Z2 and Xiaomi Mi5 with its worldwide LTE support.
Wouldn't surprise me if they aren't making any profit, latest flagship phones always cost around $180.
It all depends on what you want. If you are simply looking for a phone at a good price, it is hard to beat this one. The biggest flaw of this phone is the fingerprint scanner. It isn't good. However, if your main goal is a phone that has continued software development, this probably isn't the phone for you. But if you're content with stock rims, this is a very good phone. It can do most everything you want.

I'm running stock China 17s no root, I've no problem with fpscanner it's blazing fast an misses 1/25, but no bugs whatsoever. I compare it to an IPhone, But for 1/3 of the price.
It's a brilliant phone. It takes some getting used to though. EUI is not the most amazing launcher but it runs smooth no lag. The specs are dope at an affordable price. So far I have a few things that I am not happy with in the stock ROM
1. The light sensor in direct sunlight, the colours get over saturated, the blacks become gray.. It's annoying. Hope they can fix that with an update.
2. Camera issues. Can not auto focus during video recording, and images are a bit over exposed in the sun. Average camera that's for sure.
3. Bloatware. A lot of Chinese apps that do not apply to users out of China, they are useless and take up unnecessary space and data.
And that's about all for now. If I could install custom recovery and could get a bug free MIUI 8, i would ditch EUI.
just got mine today, updated to latest 18s. I'm quite pleased but having notification problems when the phone has been in sleep for a while. I hope it's easily fixed, but disappointed the error is allowed to get through testing.
edit, correction 17s

I believe that the software is OK, simply you are too new on the forums and you don't know how to handle it. Please check topics about "notification problems" and you'll find the way to keep them from not cleaning while the phone is in sleep mode. The notifications are working fine.

Hello everyone,
I consider buying Mate 10 pro and I am torn by many of the posts here about the phone / live review results.
After reading many good reviews I have now few doubts and would like to make a post that will gather your (those who own Mate 10 / pro) experience with the phone.
I am obvisouly aware there are already reports on such topics in the live review section but I believe (and hope) that stuff have changed due to the AI learning the user
daily uses and Huawei updates.
Few key features / questions I personally would love to hear from you about are:
Always on display - does it still working only with huawei native apps?
Lock screen notification - after unlocking does the notification dismiss from the lock screen?
Lags / over heat - Do you encounter them on daily use? how smooth the experience is compare to other flasgships?
Youtube + message app bug - there is a post on the forum about the phone locking it self if you get message when you view youtube in full window mode, did it
got fixed with update?
Does the bluetooth / gps / wifi work well?
its just a few points I would love answers to but you welcome to offer any insight about the phone, cons and pros after using it for a while.
Have a wonderful day =)

1) Yes, so far only works with Huawei apps
2)Yes
3)Never encountered these issues, no lag or overheating here, not even when charging.
4)Never had this problem
5)All working fine here (5Ghz wifi too). GPS is fast and accurate. I don't use Bluetooth very often, but i did some tests with file transfer and headset, no problem here.
I could answer from the 3rd point
No overheat at all and performance is really good only some minor stutter every now and then like every Android phone
GPS and wifi and Bluetooth are always working correctly for me
I don't encounter YouTube problem at all.

Thank you both for your answers, gives me some comfort!
Sadly, I believe there is no current "perfect" phone in the market and I am having real trouble deciding if to go for the Galaxy S8, htc u11+ or Huawei mate 10 pro.
Is there any bugs / cons on Huawei mate 10 pro software that should be highlighted in your opinion?
Honestly I understand your question and in the same time, I'm bored about these questions...
Phone is very great... Best phone I have ever had...
Not overheating incredible battery life and marvelous experience... For me.
Of course, it isn't perfect. As any phone..
Read reviews and decide...
Cheers
I'm curious about something, does the Pro support using the fingerprint sensor as navigation, similar to the standard Mate 10 and the Honor View 10?
It'd probably be a little more unorthodox as it's located on the back but that's possibly the only way I'd consider getting it even. Not an AMOLED fan.

It's my first Huawei, and I've read a lot also before buying it, and I've been happily surprised:
3- I never got it hot (netflix for hours ....). I got it "warm" and I insist on warm because it really wasn't hot (especially compared to my previous phones) once when I was doing google Duo + fast charging. And about the lags, nope.
4- Never got this issue.
5- Bluetooth, wifi (5ghz, 2,4ghz, hotspot...). For the GPS I only used it in Hong-Kong atm, and with the ****ing density of buildings, it was not really accurate, but not worse than the other phones. Once outside the city it was working very well.
For the other things :
- The rear camera is very good ! I will need a tripod for night shoots, because in night mode (or manual) you can increase the shutter time.
- I really like EMUI (usually I always flash cyanogen/lineage)
- The infrared : I noticed that I use it all the time to control my AC and TV ^^
- The sound could be better : you easily block it with your hands, and what they call "stereo" ... is quite bad because the other speaker is not as loud as the one at the bottom.

If you like snappy smooth phones don't go for the Sammy from my opinion
I was always a Samsung user for many years till the s7edge and then switched to Mate 9 then now mate 10 pro
While Samsung phones are great but they can't be compared to Huawei in 2 things mainly the battery life and speed/smoothness of operation and animations ect..

No the fingerprint scanner does not do all the functions as the normal mate 10 but we have something called navigation dock and it's floating anywhere you like on screen and it do the same exactly so you can hide the keys and make use of all this great 18:9 screen :laugh:

You're right, I forgot to mention it : the navigation dock is a GREAT idea ! no screen surface wasted ! I love it.
Huawei Mate 10 Pro
I love the phone. I compared it to top of the line Samsungs at the store and I like the way it looks/feels better. Also Samsungs have ridiculously long shape and have much smaller battery.
Overall impression:
-- Very appealing to look at and hold. It is a bit slippery without a case because both sides are glass, but it comes with a very thin transparent soft plastic case which gives it a much better grip.
-- Camera blows my previous phone out of the water but not as good as a consumer grade DSLR. Low light pictures are sharp and crisp.
-- No headphone jack but comes with a pair of USB-C phones in the box.
This is my second HUAWEI device (first one was Honor Note 8 and it got stolen). I keep coming back to Huawei because of excellent build quality and very long battery life.
Always on display - does it still working only with huawei native apps?
- Mine does not have an always-on display.
Lock screen notification - after unlocking does the notification dismiss from the lock screen?
I have not seen such notification. I touch the fingerprint circle on the back side and it immediately shows icon screen or whatever app was open last.
Lags / over heat - Do you encounter them on daily use? how smooth the experience is compare to other flasgships?
Mine is always cool to the touch. I would not know what happens during intense videogames as I don't play em.
Youtube + message app bug - there is a post on the forum about the phone locking it self if you get message when you view youtube in full window mode, did it
got fixed with update?
Will try it and update.
Does the bluetooth / gps / wifi work well?
Bluetooth and GPS do. For me Wifi does not work well with 2.4 Ghz routers, although I get 120 Mbps on the 5 Ghz band. It looks like no one else has this issue so I will try to return and replace the phone with identical one. Also it appears to be a software glitch so might be fixed with an update.
Hi!
I'm currently using Mi A1 but thinking about upgrading to Nokia 7.1. I really exited about this phone and like everything about it on paper.
However in a lot of reviews people are complaining about regular lags while scrolling through UI, opening Google Now, notification drawer etc. Many also complaining that apps take long to load and that they even crash sometimes.
Can some of you, real device users please confirm or deny, whether you experience some or all of these things? And how you satisfied with user experience on this device overall?
Thanks.

I too upgraded from a Mi A1 to this. It has no problems connecting to LTE and staying connected unlike the A1. I replaced the default launcher with Nova Launcher and I'd say it's not super noticeable but I'd say it's faster overall. There's an OTA out that pushes the October security patch and likely some software improvements. With Pie likely coming before the end of the month, I'm satisfied. If you get it, buy a case too - believe me. It's thinner width wise and slippery.

Pictures tend to be slightly better on the Nokia 7.1 but camera quality varies by person. One person could see a stunning photo and another says it's subpar. I would love a port of the Pixel 3 camera here.
Smooth experience here, but I'm not the sensitive type that bugs out over 2 vs 4 seconds to open an app.
Camera is way ahead of the Essential.
Great device overall.

Hi all Im thniking about to buy this phone.Development is amazing.Price is also verry good.Problem is that I read a lot about issues with screen...Bleeding,touch issue,Polarization problem...Lot of people say this is best choice,but lot of them even dont own this phone.I want to ask people that already using Poco.Is this good choice and issues are really that bad?Im thinkig too about Mi 8 but he got not soo big development.BTW I dont want to use Miui,Im thinking about AOSP or Lineage Roms...Are the newest production units of Poco better or all have same issues?
As a Poco user, my only issue is touch response, although it's not so noticable anymore and it's improved with every update. I have to admit, xiaomi had enough time to fix this completely and it was a little annoying. I never had issues with screen bleeeing etc...
I was always a fan of Aosp/LOs roms, but I have to say, Miui became a better OS for Me. Aosp pie has a variety of stupid and illogical solutions, and my opinion is that Oreo was far better. Nowdays, Miui is more customizable, it's faster, it's more visually appealing...
The best you can squeeze out of this device is to use debloated Miui rom, be assured.
Poco's only advantage over Mi 8 is the battery, and there the comparison ends, depends on your needs...

Well different people have different opinion! According to my opinion works very good and fast, global is okay, handy extra functions like double tap to start screen and holding a digital button to close screen.
Miui is terrible, just like the own cloud and backup. Please just use Google standards. It took a long time to find a calendar reminder that works okay with miui. Own calendar has no snooze etc.
The price is very very good and happily no glass back etc.
I have the Global version (made in China).
No issues at all with performance and no screen bleed. If there are touch issues, I haven't noticed them.
There is a really annoying issue when wearing polarised sunglasses - the screen when used in portrait will be completely blacked out by the sunglasses - you will need to use the phone in landscape to view it. Unsure why they decided to do that - very stupid decision.
Ok thanks for your answers.As you are users of Poco how would be your choice today?Still Poco or Mi 8 or maybe another Phone?

I would try to find cheap Mi 6, which was the best phone Xiaomi ever made up to now, I sold mine and made a mistake. Fast as hell, excellent developement, good battery etc, no notch, front fps etc....
What a great little device the N2 is. Having bought Chinese phones in the past and been stung by the many notification issues and restrictions I was worried about buying this but so far - all good.
No issues at all (UK based) - all notifications working as expected, even Ring doorbell which I couldn't get working on a Vivo phone.
Banking apps working fine.
Battery life is amazing.
Only downside so far is my Galaxy Watch won't connect but that's no biggie.
Love the form factor and getting rid of my S23 Ultra (and watch !)

Pertaining to galaxy watch, try the steps in my post to get it to work.. after that u have to check permissions and auto launch permissions..
Post in thread 'Which SmartWatch with Find N ?' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/which-smartwatch-with-find-n.4564227/post-88443823
I though the N2 had the same notifications issue as the original N? i.e. only 5 custom apps?
I absolutely agree, a few little niggles, as expected with it being a Chinese rom, but no deal breakers, other maybe android auto, really miss listening to my podcasts, hoping against hope that they see how many are being used outside China and release a global rom 🫰
