Before everyone gets their S22+, it would be nice for those who have the S22+ to share bugs here. Pre-ordered an S22+!
Question: What bugs have you been facing with your S22+? Do you think they are hardware/software issues?
When surfing in Chrome and Google, the screen turns off, turns completely black, and you have to slowly swipe your finger back to turn it on.
Bluetooth does not work on Renault R-link 2. It is constantly disconnected.
Bluetooth connection to the Jabra Talk 30 does not always work smoothly.
Faceunlock is a disaster, almost unusable.
And scrolling the screen is jerky in most cases, incredibly bad.
So far I have used Xiaomi MI 10 and after switching I am not happy.
I hope the first update will fix some problems.
Amazing to know about this.

I dont have any of this bugs
My only big issue is Google play services drains battery xD the rest all good, no big bugs, camera awesome, BT also
When I tap the lower half back of the phone, it feels like a spring. I think the vibration motor might be too loose. Does this happen to anyone else?
Received mine two days ago - no problems yet. The fingerprint scanner is way better than the S20, but face recognition is still unreliable.
I was impressed with the Samsung Smartswitch app that wirelessly copied everything from my S20 and set it up exactly as it was - apps, settings, alarms, custom sounds, themes, screen layouts, widgets, and wallpapers.
I'm facing an issue in the Samsung's version of Google Messages. Grouping does not seem to work for me at all. I tried clearing the app cache and rebooting as well. Not a huge problem, but still worth mentioning.
Been using it for only a few days now, and I'm very happy with the performance. Coming from an S10 with Exynos, it sure feels much snappy with a Snapdragon.
The biggest issue/bug of that phone is battery... I don't really get it, why SOT is so embarrassing... :| Other things are brilliant, but because of battery i'm loosing every inch of pleasure with using this phone... :|

Actually yes, all the time since i got this phone and start using it
Yeah that seems to be common among all bad battery life users. Do you think its possible an update can fix this drain? It seems to have happened before with the S10 series but was fixed

I'm not sure... Year after year there is more preinstalled applications in this phones :| Samsung app + Samsung Dex, Google Apps, Microsoft Apps... Hardware is great i don't doubt it, but software is too overloaded in my opinion and they obviously aren't able to control it somehow :|
Dex is a nice feature, but samsung free, facebook services and other preinstalled stuff that don't really contribute are annoying

Yes, that's ture. I agree, Samsung Dex is nice feature. I hope, that next update will change something positively in SOT I really like this phone, but until it happend i'm a little disapointed because of Smartphone for that price ;D
Update: My battery issues are related to either mobile data or location services. I only used my phone at home and connected to wifi for a day and my maximum SOT per 100% doubled!
I have the bug of VoWifi (voice over wifi) is turning on and off during call.
VoWifi making normal calls impossible
Hello, i have the problem that VoWifi is interrupting calls. Looks like my LTE signal is not stable enough so VoWifi is jumping in and then the LTE signal is strong enough which kills VoWifi. So its like ping pong, VoWifi on -> VoWifi off and so...

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:

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 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

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 bought my Redmi Note 5 (which happens to be my first Xiaomi phone) a week ago and I gotta say MIUI is much better than I expected. It's pretty fast and has a lot of features and the camera app is fine. I want your opinion: Is LineageOS or other custom ROMs worth it for this device? I have a pretty good amount of experience with custom ROMs but I was wondering if I would be missing out on anything if I switch to a custom ROM. Is the camera app as good as/better than the MIUI camera app? Does it have PROPER manual mode? Do I still get slow motion, portrait mode front and back, and other cool stuff? If not, can I flash a camera app for that? I have a billion questions that can be answered with your opinion and a link to a ROM you like, if any.
Thanks for your time!

Basic things are missing or broken like proper fingerprint reading/swiping, Gcam is rubbish and only kind of works, they have volume issues with both speakers and headphones, screen brightness problems, heating issues, wake lock issues, no mms with mobile data turned off, no treble support because they didn't bother fixing the vendor rom, fast charge issues, no voLTE and updates are few and far between.
Now recently we have Android P and it is rubbish, laggy broken no camera, no voLTE all the same vendor issues.

Using RR and have none of your named problems. No Wakelocks, though there is a Netlink problem happening randomly when flashing, but ez reconnect battery and it's fixed. Luckily I never faced that bug.
Also Gcam Mod is amazing, pictures are as good as in MIUI Camera.
RAM management is way, waaaay better than in MIUI, no crashes, no lags, no hot reboots.
Battery Life is the same, can't point out a difference.
No screen brightness & heating issues either. The sceen burn was a wrong driver in DarkAges Kernel, as far as I understood it.
Running in RR and can highly recommend to get rid of MIUI, then you can unleash the full power of your phone !
Same goes for Liquid Remix. None, really NONE of the problems discribed above occur. WiFi is superb, gcam works without a single hiccup, sound is great, battery life is even better than on MIUI.
I don't understand why so many people put so much hate on custom roms for Vince, you just have to search for the well maintained roms and not for the ones that gets an initial release and then be abandoned by the devs (aka the indian teenagers that clone complete repos and just put their name on it)
I'd rather prefer MIUI, ive tried almost every custom ROM. My internet connection keeps dropping, im unable to play Clash Royale and other online games, the connection drops. The only fix is to DEGRADE the connection type to 2G within the mobile network settings.
Pixel experience is good

Agree I don't think the devs can figure these minor bugs out and even worse they all seem to be sharing the same buggy base crap and just putting custom roms on top of it.
I installed 10 custom roms and they failed in all the same "features"
And watch out for Dark Ages kernel unless you want to cook marshmellows on your phone while charging!

I have it installed of course, otherwise I couldn't talk about it, huh?
- Rounded corners are okay, I like them. That is no bug, that's the decision of the dev.
- Battery is decent, 10+ hours of SoT.
- RAM is no problem, never under 1000mb free
- Never had ANY problem with WiFi. Check your router.
- Heating? What is heating for you? Never ever had more than 40°C, even when playing PUBG.
- Force close on back key works on smart bar. Use that.
- Fast charge works fine, see attached Screenshot.
- Speaker and headphone are fine, what the f* do you expect from a PHONE?
Well, I think you are the one spreading lies here, nearly everything you have mentioned above simply isn't true. Maybe you should switch to iOS if you cannot setup your android device properly.

Yeah, nice, a thread by you which is a complete rip off of blacksuans thread for pie. You are my hero for today. Applause. ?
Hi Everyone,
I'm in Canada and thinking of picking up the GT 2 Pro (global version) from a local store.
Currently on the Fido network and was wondering:
1. Is anyone having any issues connecting to this carrier? Or any other Canadian carrier?
2. Are there issues updating to Android 13 (comes installed with A12)?
3. Does WiFi connect/disconnect?
4. Should I stay away from this phone and look at something else?
tia
I'm on Freedom, no issues, except no VoLTE available (might be just a carrier thing).
It's cheaper to get Chinese version and flash Global.
Netflix may not work due to Widevine L3 (at least on chinese).
Thanks Quake.
So no issues with dropped calls or wifi cutting in/out?
Are you on A13?
I can get the global version for around $840 CAD

No issues, it's a solid phone. I've had it since summer last year. I'm on A.13 C.12. Check Kimovil.com or other website for full specs on modem bands.
Realme has been pretty good with updates and fixing bugs, they have been releasing updates approx. every month.
Double check current warranty policy. When I bought mine, Realme did not support Canadian/US market.
If you have more cash, you might want to consider Galaxy for better warranty and popularity.

1. Is anyone having any issues connecting to this carrier? Or any other Canadian carrier?
2. Are there issues updating to Android 13 (comes installed with A12)?
3. Does WiFi connect/disconnect?
4. Should I stay away from this phone and look at something else?

1. I dont know (living in EU)
2. Nope, smooth update, without bugs.
3. Nope, wifi works great (2,4 GHz and 5GHz on WiFi6, WiFi 5 and 4 also OK) for long distances (better than any other phone I've had).
4. This phone is a good deal if you buy it at a reasonable price ($840 CAD is OK) - good cooling system (SD8 gen 1 is disaster in many phones), 3 mayor Android updates, fast charging, SOT 8-9 hours, nice OS (easy to clean), nice display.
Some may be disappointed by the lack of wireless charging and no IPxx (rain and moisture are no problem).
Thank you guys for the feedback.
It's weird that some people are having issues with this phone (i.e. battery drain, wifi/carrier connections, etc). I guess it depends on the ROM????

That's the only explanation I have. I've been using the European rom since day one, and 0 problems (A12, A13, all OK...).
My experience: Mobile data, Wifi, Bluetooth and NFC are fine, no problems. The battery could last more SOT 6,5 hours during two days of use.
I switched from HTC U12+ and I am satisfied.I only changed the launcher, but that's just a matter of taste.

Maybe competitors testing the phone
Some of the issues I have encountered:
1. Low volume on USB-C to 3.5mm adapter -> workaround is to set automatic run of a shell command via Tasker to adjust gain (needs root)
2. Stock camera app isn't color-accurate -> fixed with GCam
3. Some of preloaded Oppo/Realme apps can be annoying -> remove via adb or root app manager
4. Google assistant's read/reply to message while driving function is broken for me - not sure if this is Realme-specific or a common issue. GA will read message, but stop listening for reply.
5. No official free recovery flash tool available. Current EDL flash tool is one-time token based, so you need to pay someone (like $5) to unlock it, in case of a brick.

- Don't expect 8-9 hours SOT, some users claim to get that but most user can't get near this....5-6 maximum is what you should expect from it.
- stock camera sucks, specially for videos, if you not into using gcam and other apps for photos and videos specially if you use the front camera think twice. If you ok using gcam and, mcpro24fps for example you can get good results.
- screen doesn't seem to match the specs advertised, brightness doesn't seem the advertised and touch sampling rate is advertised at 1000hz but it only reach 125hz.
- if you want to play with flashing the device there is no oficial free tool to flash it in case something goes wrong, so in case you get a brick you gonna have to pay a ramdom stranger to access you PC via TeamViewer and flash it for you, and you gonna pay for it.
- don't expect any custom rom for this device.
- snap 8gen1 is power hungry and likes to throttle, but that's not a Realme only problem...
Those are the problems I can remember right now.
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 🫰
