Hi folks.
I just got myself a brand new Lumia 800 (from o2, but sim unlocked)
At the beginning everything went well and the phone was running great.
Then yesterday evening the problems started. First there was a synching problem with my office365 account. I figured out it was a problem with one of the contacts (apparently the same bug that already existed for GMAIL accoutns in WP7).
After that the phone started rebooting itself on several occassions. Sometimes even without me doing anything, even doing another reboot right after it already rebooted once.
It's pretty hard to track down what is responsible for it. It happens a lot of time when I read emails, although not only (for example it just rebooted during Nokia Navigation, I was not even touching the phone, just driving with the navigation on...)
Has anybody had similiar problems? It's seriously annoying.
I even did a hard reset - made no difference. Set up everything new etc.
update
Update: It might be an issue with my sim card, phone seems to run fine without it. Luckily I'll get a new one activated on Tuesday, so I'll wait and retry then again
Curious, did you get a new microSIM when you got the phone or hand cut to fit?

Hand cut. Interestingly it worked for 3 days straight without any problems and then suddenly it started, that's why I didn't think the problem might be the SIM card.
Interesting to know that dodgy contacts (which I think might be the issue) cause immediate reboots
Interesting conclusion, I hand cut mine and so far, so good. Will bear this in mind though, you never know.
BUT
Just removing the SIM doesn't discount it, as it disables the cell radio, it could be related to that rather than the SIM itself.
I'll see on Tuesday when my new SIM gets activated. I'll report back how it works out

Update
Update: The problem really was the loose SIM card. Zero problems with the new Micro-SIM. Phone runs perfectly. I love it.
So if you ever encounter reboot loops you might wanna check your SIM
Great stuff, lets hope my home brew microSIM holds out then.
Obvious fault of the old SIM card. With me on the forum were also such cases.
rebooting system
i have lumia 800 and i have the same problem.i have send my phone back to nokia 3 times to fix it but nothing. i have pay 30,00 euros for ram-changes but still nothing.now i ll buy new sim card and see if the problem stays
I've been holding on to my Note 3 because it's the last phone on Sprint network that will allow you to talk and surf when LTE speeds are available. Lately it's becoming very laggy and I know it's time to move on. Any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat, however my device is not laggy. I run my 4.4.4 Nk4 rooted no KNOX debloated rom. Every once in awhile I'll flash a fresh copy of the rom to keep it from getting laggy.
As for what to get next, don't want a Note 5 with no sd card slot and non-removable battery. Although I heard they may bring back the removable battery in the note 6 in which case I would consider a good buy. Everyone I've talked to about the LG G4 has said it has trouble with pixels burning out in the display,( and is being recalled ) so I'll past on that one. I would consider the LG G5 if they fix the display problem, supposed to be out in March 2016. For right now I'm waiting for the release of the LG V10 which from all the specs I've read is very close to the Note 3. The LG V10 will be available for AT&T and Verizon, Sprint has yet to say when they will have it, and is going to be released the end of November 2015.

So the LG V10 is out what did you get?
I went from note 3 to note 5. Had bad 1st unit. 2nd phone has been good. The antennas are not as good as note 3 with reception, and since Sprint has not implemented the VOLTE I'm forced to use Google voice if I need to make a call while using the Internet. I got the 64 gb model. Because I got that model when I got my 2nd phone Sprint just gave me the while new box with the accessories in it. The quick charge is great, and the with power savings on I do have great battery life. If I'm at a poor location with really bad Cell signal coverage and no wifi it eats through my battery life. Wish I had the 2 extra battery like I did on the note 3 for those days. Some said to try turning off gps in that situation so I'm going to try that. That being said, rapid charge wow oh wow and yes please! It's great!
If you want to keep the note 3 try sacs note 5 port. Had I tried that I might not of had me and the wife get a note 5. Yeah it's that good.
This has been the ONLY phone that I have not rooted.
I used package disabler Pro, which somehow does the freeze application of titanium backup Pro.
They even have an export import feature. So when I got my 2nd note 5 I imported the file and was able to have every bloat ware disabled.
Hope to hear back from you.

They say the Note 5 is great, your not the first one to have problems with it for sure. I have not bought a new device yet still rocking the Note 3. I'm very leery of a phone with out a removable battery. If the Bat fails you lose everything and have to return the device. Rumors are the removable battery will make an appearance in the Note 6.
Just wanted to see if anyone who purchased the mate 10pro from three UK has had a firmware update yet.
My device shipped with BLA-L09 8.0.0.115 (C782) and I haven't had any updates yet.
I have spoken to Huawei CS and they have said that I should receive an OTA update to BLA-L09C 8.0.0.124a(C782) but it's yet to materialize and I haven't seen this version mentioned anywhere.
The reason I want the update is because I'm having camera issues, in low light photos look like an oil painting and are lacking detail. I also keep getting this message to keep the phone steady even if I rest the phone on something flat
Thanks for any input on this
I get the same. I guess Huawei will eventually fix the problem with a software update. I'm also on version 115 (C782) without an update on O2. I was told 124 version is rolling out, but not recieved it yet.
However, I seem to remember another member on here also on 3 network had received the update in the last few days. It's based on your IMEI number from what I understand.

Yeah I think it's done in batches, I have the CS rep my IMEI number and that's how they knew what firmware I was on / due to be getting.
Really hope it's sorted cos at the minute the camera is rubbish in low light auto.
Does your phone have a O2 bootlogo? Mine has a three logo, just wondering if networks like to tinker with the firmware before it's sent out and causing further delays.

No, I just have the Huawei logo. I picked it up from Carphone Warehouse who don't normally tinker with the branding too much.

I'll keep this thread updated if I get any updates and want improvement it brings
Hi, I am on three network... but bought the phone unlocked from CPW. Original firmware was BLA-L09 8.0.0.115 (C782). Received an update about a week or so ago to BLA-L09 8.0.0.124 (C782). On a side note....Used the phone for a wee while without a SIM card, but as soon as I put one in it installed the three splash screen and other three bloatware (wuntu etc)... must be one phone sold by Huawei to all the vendors that customises itself to the SIM inserted... with that in mind, would have thought that these would update soon as they are identical initial firmwares to mine. As to the camera, can't really comment outright with the old firmware... have done some low light comparisons now with my s8+ and have got to say the mate 10 pro edges it slightly... which is a pretty big deal, because the s8+ was always a beast for photos. My only grumble (still there) is that HDR isn't on by default. Bugs me to bits that one....

Thanks for that, I might try a different sim just to see if anything changes (don't even know if the phone is locked to three) waiting game for that update now :good:
I got mine last Saturday from Cex. On Tuesday I got an update do 127. I don't have any issues with camera in low light but in terms of that "sharpening photo" message I had it on P10 as well. I think the handset is still taking picture in challenging light conditions, even after you've pressed the shutter, for like a brief second or so. I do have issues with WiFi though. As in, shows it's connected to WiFi but I have to turn WiFi off and on to actually see any content in chrome etc. It doesn't happen that often but every now and then.

I was offered 124, but it failed to install, and then wasn't offered it again. I installed Hisuite from their website, and was instantly offered 124 again.
Worth a try.
I have a 3 supplied M10Pro, running a ee sim currently.

I also have that WiFi issue, I've stopped using it and just relying on my 4g (ayce data).
Really am thinking of returning it, I had a oneplus one before this with less issues, it's amazing how much difference the software can make

Will give it a try, I was thinking about removing the SIM and doing a factory reset to see if I'm offered the update after a fresh install, but it's probably just pot luck with the IMEI
Same here, wifi is virtually unusable so i rely on my 4G which really sucks. I bought mine sim free from Amazon uk and im on the old firmware too, Tried the Hisuite but not offered the upgrade

Does it make a difference if you use 5ghz or 2.4? My old Z5 used to have issues with 5Ghz.

You mean from the router ? I think mine is set to auto but never had this problem on any other phones and i've had lots !!!
Wifi
Having WiFi issues too. Connected via 5 GHz and each night the WiFi suddenly disappears. Have to toggle WiFi on and off to get it back. Bought as upgrade on Three network and on same software as other posters.
Just tried the hisuite to see if it offers the update, but no luck.
My router is also set to auto but never had this issue with other phones. Is it worth setting the router to just 2.4 to see how it goes.
I've also turned off this WiFi+ just to see if it makes a difference

I normally name them differently so I can connect to the one I want.

Mine was unbranded from Carphonewarehouse but as soon as I put the Three sim in it, it downloaded Three firmware, boots up and closes down with the Three logo now
WiFi issues here too amongst other things. Thinking of sending it back
Huawei issue with WiFi is when using 5ghz it will kick you off and freeze.
If you connect to the 2ghz only it will work perfect for you.
It's the same problem with Huawei routers using 5ghz sucks. Must be a Huawei 5ghz problem in general as the hardware they use in router and phone suck. My old talk talk router made by Huawei used to freeze on the 5ghz all the time.
I'm also on three mobile with unlocked 10 pro on 115 firmware and still waiting on a update....
I'm my case WiFi is fine (using only 2ghz thou)
Camera in low light is useless
Always on display causing freezing when unlocking phone (turning off always on display cured the unlock freezing problem)
Putting an ee SIM in you can upgrade using hi suite but I'd rather wait then mess with phone and have EE bloatware on my phone.
Hi Team. Picked up unlocked m10 pro from UK store. Put my 3 sim network in there and it's totally rebranded as a 3 phone (boot animation etc.) And not a factory reset clears it down. Other sims work but I want rid of it really. Any ideas? Thanks
You can't now. Only way is to rebrand it European build C432
Boy I'm glad T-Mobile doesn't do that stuff here in the US!
It's because 3 mobile UK have an exclusive to sell it on contact I believe
Thanks for the input peeps. Rang Huawei and they said ring 3 shouldn't be happening and also swap device 'again' back at carphone whorehouse. I'm no stranger to flashing stuff but there isn't a great deal out there on rebranding to C432 as stated previous. Any decent guides? Cheers

This is the thread you need to rebrand, the other option would be to go back to wherever you bought tickets, swap it for a new handset, get Vodafone SIM, and make sure that's the first sim you install, it has no branding as such, just two apps which can be removed.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814/page68
I bought one as well and it's also branded 3 but that's about it, apart from the Huawei apps it's fine
Are your wanting to rebrand because of the splash screen
Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk
the rebranding for 3 is for a reason i believe but not sure, i've still not received an update from huawei regarding the re-branding of the phones when you place a 3 sim in it.
i think the reason is to allow the phone to use the 3 wifi calling without the actual app, i pixel xl won't work on 3 unless i use the app, but the mate 10 pro works. I've also heard that the wifi calling features of the phone do not work on O2 without an app, so it could be for this reason the phone updates and installs their bootloader.
Hello,
I'm confused how Android Pay is supposed to work on S9+ specifically in terms of unlocking phone. I expected if phone is unlocked already I just tap terminal and payment is processed but instead. I power on phone, tap terminal, Pay launches but asks to confirm unlock, at this point Terminal fails and Pay asks me to tap second time.
I'm from South Africa and Samsung Pay only started to work a few weeks ago. I installed the app and then there was an update. I was asked to decide which security option I wanted to use, iris/fingerprint or both. I decided on fingerprint. I have used it a couple of times. In my experience of using it, no issues.. On the lock screen or if the phone is unlocked, there is a small tab on the bottom of the phone. I just swipe up from the bottom and it launches Samsung Pay immediately. You will see your card and security option, in my case I use my finger on the fingerprint reader and it's active for +-30 seconds,(the phone "pulses/vibrates every couple of seconds) then hold against the card machine and when detected, the phone vibrates a bit longer and the card machine asks for pin depending on the bank etc and from there it's a normal transaction.
Yes, Samsung Pay is not an issue, question about Android Pay which works quite different from Samsung Pay.
Well I use it all the time everyday to pay and all I do is wait for the machine to ask for the card or contact less and at that point and unlock the phone put next to the reader and that's it payment done.

What happens if you phone is already unlocked when you powered it on? Does it ever prompt you second time to verify your Iris/Fingerprint?
Well to be fair there was a few times when waiting I was playing with the phone and she did activated it and all I did was put on top of it and did pay for it. Now there is the fact that to pay for things u do need to be fairly close to the NFC chip or u won't pay so don't think is any danger in people trying to get the phone to do payments plus u get the notification. With all of that said don't know if u go to settings u can choose to register finger every time u want to pay.
