Just picked up a Mate 10 Pro from Best Buy. It updated to the latest version of BLA-A09 8.0.0.112(C567). Apps HBO GO, DirecTV Now, and Movies Anywhere crashes upon launch. I am not rooted. Anyone experiencing a similar issue? Wondering if it has to do with the US security issues with Huawei and perhaps these apps do not want it running on Huawei phones? This would definitely be a deal breaker for me. My Widevine DRM security level is at L1 and Netflix and Amazon Prime Videos run.
I use the DirecTV Now beta app on my US Mate 10 Pro.

Where did you get the beta app from. The one I downloaded from the Google Play Store crashes.

I got it from joining the beta group to test the new recording features. I just downloaded the regular DirecTV Now app from the play store and it worked just fine.
For what it's worth, HBO NOW works fine.

I give up with this. I'm returning it. I did a factory reset. Installed only those apps and they all ran. Then I went to change the phone settings and rebooted and they all don't work again. I didn't make any exotic changes in the phone settings. Just the usual of ringtones, notifications, blue light filter, vibration, do not disturb, etc... This is one weird phone.

That's really weird. I have the same firmware as you too. I downloaded HBO now, even though I don't have HBO and it starts up without crashes. Wish I knew why you're having issues.
I did a little more testing. All the apps work fine on initial install. When it stops working is once the device is rebooted. Once it's rebooted, those apps will never work again no matter if uninstall and reinistall as many times as you want. Only way to get them working is by doing a factory reset.
Well I'll be. I rebooted my phone, and yup, DirecTV NOW just closes. I don't even get a toast message saying it closed or anything. Just acts like it's going to open, then shuts off. This sucks, at least you're not the only one!
Edit: it does the same thing to the Paramount app, another streaming app.

FWIW VUDU, Netflix, Prime Video still works. The rest don't. Fortunately, I'm still in my return period so if I can't get it worked out it's definitely going back. I'm gonna try chatting with Huawei.

Let me know if you find anything. I ended up factory resetting, so I pretty much can't reboot to keep these apps usable. This is seriously questioning my purchase.

Don't hold your breath on this. Huawei doesn't have a very good support reputation. I'm getting the feeling they'll be clueless.

Well as I expected they were no help at all other than to say they will forward the issue to engineering. Meanwhile you're stuck with a phone that you can't reboot and/or hope it doesn't reboot on it's own. A shame for such a magnificent device. I got 2 weeks to return it to Best Buy. I'll probably hold out until the very last day to see if they push out an update.

Found a workaround! Tried this three times and it worked all three. Go to Settings>Apps & notifications>Apps>Scroll to Google Play services>Storage>Click Clear Cache>Click Manage Space>Click Clear All Data. This will no factory reset your phone and app apps are now working. Enjoy!

Lame definitely. I just hope Huawei fixes it. I'm pretty much sure this is a bug we're exploiting and once Google patches it, we're done. It must be some kind of security check that these apps don't want running on Huawei because of the US government warning. In theory all apps could so this and what we're left with would be a very expensive brick.

How did you install it? I tried installing it through Root Explorer on rooted stock and got a parsing error. Froyo and above only maybe?
Edit: Installed w/out issue using Root Explorer on my DROID. I can't believe there's still no Netflix queue management other than from 3rd party apps. Although once the streaming gets the "go" button, it'll be a slick app. I was given the option to resume an instant movie I was just watching on my Tivo but it started loading then took my back to the instant queue page.
The streaming failure has nothing to do with codecs. Netflix has a DRM protection implemented on the app that currently only supports a very limited amount of hand selected processors and firmware. In order to enable streaming were going to have crack the DRM. *braces for a long night*

Hey, np. Been wanting netflix fot some time myself, so I keep up on the state of things.
Here's the whole story(as I understand it). Netflix wasn't allowed to put out anything for android or any linux, due to lack of integrated DRM. The new chips that are coming out have a DRM scheme baked in at the hardware level.
What this means for us...gonna have to wait for someone to create a method to lie to the app, telling it that the DRM is present. Also, there will need to be a software based replacement for the DRM module, for decoding the stream.
You would think they would give up on DRM. If they can make it, someone will break it.

Technically the release worked, but Netflix killed it at their end, so no other devices could use it. Once they turn it back on.... who knows.
My prime reboots at least 3 or 4 times a day, whether it's browsing the web, using google maps, or using any of the other apps. It stalls, then restarts. It's running ICS.
I really like the Prime, had no defects, but I'm going to have to return it because this is totally unacceptable. Is anyone else having this issue?

So after using it for a couple of hours, I'm still getting multiple random restarts with the latest update I'll do a factory reset anyway before I bring it back, but quite honestly why should I have to my spend time trying to work out what works and what doesn't? if I can't use the device for its intended purpose, I can't see any sense in keeping it.
It's really a shame, I wanted to like the TP, on paper it has everything I was looking for in a tablet. The reality though is it doesn't live up to expectations. Random restarts are just not acceptable when you're trying to compete with the iPad, it's not good enough.
I was in the same boat and the update yesterday did not help.
There's another update floating around that was sent out by an Asus tech to try out. I installed that one last night, too and have not had any problems since then.
I think the light is at the end of the tunnel!
Why create a new thread for a subject that has an Official ASUS thread at the very top of this General forum.

@Mods, last post
I hate this feature a lot. I wish it would go away.
I don't remember the phone doing it when I first got it but it seems to now. I didn't pay much attention because I didn't expect the phone to do it seeing as how none of my previous phones have.
Without having to root the phone and disable it - is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing which is causing the phone to wake and the volume keys to work normally even though the phone is locked?
I'd check your recent app downloads? Cause that doesn't make any bit of sense. Just tried it and nothing happened. Up down held up and held down. Nada

I don't have a whole lot. Very few, actually.
Reddit news. Google Wallet. Chrome Beta. DI.FM Radio. ES File Explorer. Facebook. Soundhound infinity.
Pandora, Roam Control were both recent but removed them and restarted the phone and it's still doing it
And that's it, besides the preinstalled apps. Literally. I wish I could attribute it to an app

I would do a hard reset and install each program one by one to see which one does it. I have those all installed except Reddit, Di.fm and soundhound. I have no problems at all so it could be one of those.

I've been attempting to avoid that real hard. I have flashed all past phones and I was trying to just enjoy this for what it was for a while. Flashing roms always sacrifices features or has other tradeoffs. Tired of that. Kept the number of apps way down, kept everything as simple as possible and of course... things still go wrong. Haven't even rooted it yet.

Man I want my phone to be as unresponsive as possible when it's off. and I want it to be hard to unlock.
If there's any semblance of "easy to unlock" I pocket dial a solid 18-22 people a day while at work... and since I've got my exchange account paired to it with the company phone directory of a few hundred people... it starts getting interesting real quick.
haha this is funny. these few have volume wake by accident(likely b/c of something they flashed or another app borking something) and do not want it at all, all awhile these others would love to have the feature....haha
to further clear it up, this is not a new sense feature as others have mentioned as mine here is bone ass stock not a single mod or even app downloaded on it yet and it does not do it one bit...

I use face unlock.... So if my phone dont see my face...... It wont wake....... I used to use volume wake on my 3d and got so used to using it. I didn't realize how cool it is to use the volume keys.
I searched alot for this fix but really only found moded Play Store apps. It turns out the fix is a lot more simple than that. No modded apps required (this worked for me and hopefully for you.
When you change the DPI, you get Google Store "incompatible apps" problem. The fix is this. First, I went to the app and deleted the cache. Then I uninstalled the google play store app. Reboot the phone, made sure the dpi setting of my phone was where I wanted it to be, in my situation, 260, then relaunched the google play store or market (whatever its called after you uninstall it). It reinstalled and presto....all my apps came back. I think it does a call out to the system to see what dpi your phone is running at and stores that somewhere...then serves you up what is compatible with your phone based on the first time query settings. Anyway, this worked for me and hopefully for you.
And I am running ICS 4.0.4 running the OnlyOne Rom version 4. I am not sure it will work on other versions of android but am pretty sure you have nothing to lose by trying it.
Please tell me if it works for you.

This only works when the play store your using is modded for dpi changes, other wise it will come back after awhile. This is a known fact why the make the modded markets. But maybe I'm wrong, doubt it tho!

It will change when the market does a check on your phone. The modded markets stop the check and the upgrade that the market does after it realizes what dpi your running. no telling when it will check, I figured once you app needed an upgrade it would check but maybe its on a scheduled timeframe.

Nope, the Android Wear updates are coming directly from google. All Android Wear watches are like nexus devices.
Yes they are all updated from Google servers, but Google are fairly random with all their updates, the order they do them in never makes any sense to anyone, least of all them.
Here is how the update rollouts work. This applies to Nexus updates, Google app updates, and Android Wear updates. http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1r1dz4/44_kitkat_has_started_rolling_out_on_the_n4/cdiwt6f
It is, mostly.
Rollouts are conducted in phases. Typically they start at 1% of devices for around 24 - 48 hours; we watch the return rates and resulting device checkins and error reports (if any), and make sure nothing looks wrong before sending it to more. Then typically it goes to 25%, 50%, 100% over the course of a week or two.
What the percentages mean is that when your device checks in, it has a 1% chance (for example) of being offered the OTA. If it doesn't (randomly) get an offer, it will never get an offer until the next batch.
IOW, once your device checks in and gets turned down, that's it until the next batch. Mashing on the "check for updates" button just causes your device to check in again, and get automatically turned down again. Think about how that makes your device feel! WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE PHONES?!
That said, once the new batch does start, hitting that button does give you a new roll of the dice -- but once. Since devices usually only check in for system updates every 24 hours (I think? Certainly on a many-hours basis) this can get you your shot sooner than it would happen on its own.
So, mash away. Just be patient, and mashing on it more often than once or twice a day isn't going to gain you anything.
Edit: also, keep in mind that this isn't first-come/first-served. You're not racing other devices to get your slot in the current batch, or something.

Yes, but what I meant is the order that devices get it, not individual units.
Looks like it may be rolling out today.

It seems to push notifications to the watch quicker (before it would always lag a second or two) and there seems to be a lot more options, like having a flashlight, the ability to change font sizes, etc.
Has any one grabbed the OTA?
Man I can't wait ! Still haven't got ota how do gestures work ?
