Taiwan is out....so India to be soon Yaaaaaa!!!!!!

would be great if someone upload a prerooted .726 for flashing over recovery for those with D6653 with D6603 FW

two things that i have noticed so far -
1. Screen dimming animation is not smooth
2. Smart band SWR10 keeps disconnecting thus impacting smart lock and needs a wipe and re-configuration.
Any one facing the same issues?

@TheDutt
Hey, that was a very detailed reply.
1. Please check with airtel they have 128K 4G sim. They charge some 250 bucks when i upgraded sometime back. Its worth.
2. Install an app called open signal - its a way better substitute of speedtest.org (very lean and lot less data hungry) Use it to check on how optimised the 4G network is at your most used places
3. Not sure if this is my mind playing trick or its actually true ...an FTF install gives a better wipe of the device. If you are not comfortable using the flashtool do a repair from PCC that wipes the device aswell
Lastly i hope you did not restore apps data from the backup. Please know the kernal code completely changed from kitkat to lollipop so the cleaner install will make a difference.
I have been using lollipop on Z3 since it was released in Baltic region. the initial releases did have some bugs, heating issues and battery drain. But the release that we have in India is very close to 3 build and its a very stable one.
Hope this helps. Lets me know if you need any more information.

Smartband not working in N
Hi,
I'm having the same issue with SWR10 (it does not track my sleep and the band's alarm is not working anymore).
Smartband App keeps crashing. What is the proper place/ way to report this bug to Sony?
Thank you.

Having issues with Adoptive storage and the stock camera app. It won't take photos and says:
Memory error
SD card unavailable
Hopefully we can find a work around soon, but otherwise, Google Camera might be necessary in the meantime.

Firmware 17.1.1.A.0.402 Europe

Hello. Update 17.1.1.A.0.402 just started rolling out: for some reason you can't get any notification from the phone itself even if you check for the new updates in About Phone corresponding section, but once you connect it to PC with Sony PC Companion installed, it offers you to download and install the update.
Nice. Would be great to know if anybody has it and if it works well..

Waiting for changelog. May be this is a "big" update.
Isnt there a changelog in the pc companion?

I haven't got any changelog so far and my windows bsod'd in the beginning of installation.

available in india also for D6502
got the update, dunno what's new. Haven't noticed anything yet
PC Companion not showing the update here in the UK
Well, I hoped for 4k video fix but got the overheat message in 4 mins writing on my sandisk extreme pro 16 gb. My phone is in official sony case though, maybe this is the issue. Have your results improved?
If you want longer 4k sessions, turn off image stabilization. Atleast in my case, it doubled the time, from 5 to 10mins. Though custom rom and kernel might also have something to do with this.
Now we need root!
I would love to know if the battery life stays on the same great level
Interesting, my 4G indicator now says LTE here on AT&T .. The phone does seem snappier, quicker response for sure over .55. :good:
Here you can find a FTF

Fixing this isn't as easy as you might think. It probably needs hardware modifications and there is nothing Sony may do about it.

The Virgin Mobile US version is in certification stage of Lollipop release as it shows on the software updates page. I have no idea how much longer that would take.
gsmarena.com said that the new UK Sense version is 6.5. Can anyone with the update verify?

Hey everyone. So I've been offered the lollipop update but I'm worried that the update will give me more problems than solutions. So I'm not updating it just yet. I have concerns about battery life getting worse, like how lollipop does to some other phones. So I'll be patiently waiting to see what you guys think, if you've tried it out already.
Also, the update is ~800MB which is kinda crazy. Guess I'll be deleting apps.
Anyways, please tell me how Lollipop is so far! Hope everything is smooth and fine.
Cheers.

I confirm that the battery life is way worse than kk.
And the power saver notification (card) is so annoying.
I hope there'll be some fix for these.
By the way the lock screen is updatable on play store after the lollipop update.

I just started getting the "System update available" notification on my VM USA Desire 816 but I don't want to loose root. Has anyone updated while root? What where the results? Will apps that depend on root access work properly? I have way too many questions.

Just installed, so far I think it sucks. STILL can't use a different wallpaper for Lock Screen. Thought it was because of 4.4.2 but I was wrong. It is stupid how other HTC phones can do this but this phone can't. Stupid I have to use 3rd party lock screen to achieve this feature. World clock earth is gone also. So far I hate this update.
this update is good we now hav the new stock htc camara the one with the photo booth mode i didnt really tried it out yet but i hope it dont crash which im sure it wont oh and theres no clear allwhen u click on the recents apps button

zevral said:
Just in case someone messes up their Rom (like me), here is how you flash the original:
Download the newest version from here
You now have the update.zip, now connect your Meizu with your PC
Copy the update.zip to the main folder (internal) of your Meizu
Optional: you might want to do a factory reset, otherwise your gonna flash over your old install. To do a factory reset, go to settings -> about phone -> memory/storage
Reboot and press Vol+ & Power at the same time.
Choose System upgrade and press Start
Wait for it to install, you're done!
In case you're wondering how i messed it up:
i rooted and uninstalled some apps that i thought were not necessary. I somehow managed to mess up the Dialer and a few other things So be careful, you might break something by uninstalling random system apps.
A normal factory reset will not save you, i tried! The uninstalled apps are gone, you have to re-flash the rom.

I now have this phone,I really like it.
But the firmware is very buggy,I hope a fw update is soon.
Notifications seem to stop once an app is not used for a while,for example if you open up Outlook to check your emails it will notify you once you get a new email,the LED notification light will flash,but if you leave it for about 12 hours then it will not notify you of any new emails,even the notification bar will not show your email.
Same with Facebook and Skype.
The phone is very light and I really like Flyme .
Also another thing I found is that scrolling up and down on a webpage is sluggush and slow,just like an Apple phone.
I have owned 3 other Meizu model phones and they all had lightening fast scrolling.
Hi i'm waiting for m2 note,it will arrive next week for sure ..someone tested xposed ?

3rd Party Launcher
Have you tried installing other launchers on the phone (Nova Launcher, Google Now Launcher etc)??? PLease also try and put widgets using the custom launcher and see if it works.. I've found out that the Lenovo K3 Note does not accept widgets using custom launchers.. some users have also reported those launcher crashing

Hello friend.
Did You try to install google installer apk through Meizu App Center?
Install this app and You will have google services and play store. After that You can install google apps through google play.
I have same version (Flyme 4.A) and i did it that way.
I hope You can fix it.
Super!
I'll tell her about it
And any solution for chinese voices and writings?

International version (I) only for international Meizus.
Universal version (A) You can install on both, International and chinesse Meizus. It is the version that is updated more frequently.
Chinesse version (U, C). From chinesse operators.
Have a good day.
And how can I know if the device is international or chinese one?
Only thing I know at moment is the firmware version (4.5A) and the origin (China web shop)
On the 4.5A there is a huge amount of chinese stuff, like google voice and many labels and guide text.
These features were not translated selecting Italian language.. Any solution?
Also, is there a repository to look for the international firmware version and is there some tool to flash it?

I think your version its like mine, you cant install International. I bought mine on china web shop too. Dont try to intall (I) firmware, follow with (A), its ok.
You can uninstall easilly all apps that remains on chinesse. There some features not translated to Spanish too.
Take a look on Spanish forums: Movilesdualsim and Htcmania. Theres lot of information about, some guides too.
I got my Meizu m2 note the other day. Living in Sweden. I'm happy about the phone overall, but one thing that bothers me is that you need to use the "security" app once in a while. Why? If I turn off the security app functions, the phone gets really slow after a while, app drawer lags, etc. Why do we need to use a security app when stock android remains fast even without it?
I really don't want this security app to kill applications etc, apps are not meant to be killed. This is a stupid feature of the phone and it seems I have to live with it, otherwise the phone gets sloooooow.
I can't wait to get it. I bought meizu phone,it's very good
I have problem with this phone and instagram/facebook. So when i wan't to uplad an video to fb or instagram it says it is not supported format. Sent that same video to my tab z and i can upload it. Tried few videos, all the same. Did latest update, hard reset, again.

Just received my Meizu M2 Note last week. One of the best phones I've used. Moving from a Moto x 2013, and definitely liking the upgrade so far. The system seems snappy and there was an OS update waiting for download out of the box. Using with a single Nano SIM and a 32GB Micro SD. The camera is absolutely fantastic, too. Totally smokes the Moto X's (and the Moto's OV sensor is brilliant).
FYI, if you install Google Play using the 'Google Play Installer' from the Meizu App Center you need to over write the Google Play Services with a 64bit version. You have to do this manually with a '448' version. You then need to disable auto updates from within the Meizu App Center otherwise it will overwrite this 64bit version with the previous incorrect version.
So, yeah, really happy so far

Official USA firmware appears for Z5 E6603

Just want to let you guys know that today, Sony has uploaded the official firmware for the USA version for the E6603 device. It's version 32.0.A.6.209 with a region tag of R4B. It's listed as Customized US (unbranded). This is the first time the firmware is released for a non dual Z5 device. The CDA is 1300-4290.
I'm guessing this firmware is still lollipop and not marshmallow, right?
Quick question, if I switch firmwares, would I lose my DRM keys? I have locked bootloader still and don't want to lose them. I do want to switch firmwares to US or Canada so I have a local baseband. The signal is not the best and I'm pretty sure switching firmwares will definitely help with that.
You only lose DRM keys when you unlock bootloader.

Offcourse there's noise when zooming, that's the way digital zoom works.
If you take two pictures in a tripod stand, one zoomed and one not zoomed you can cut the not zoomed image to the same size and have two exact same images. Digital zoom is worthless, it is the exact same thing as zooming in on a pic in the gallery.

lolol, does that mean the US devices only have it disabled in software? Seems likely, I didn't think they'd start a new production line just to remove the fingerprint reader.
Did you notice any change in signal though?

See, the signal was why I was looking forward to this being released but I won't trade fingerprint for better signal :/
Honestly the signal was just the same.
Although my comments could not be very accurate, since the signal around home and work is very strong.

You need someone who got the phone to try flashing the phone with other firmware,that way you know forsure if they removed the hardware.
I think when on 8th of February someane buys officiall US variant, and if Fingerprint doesnt work, someone will just try to flash other versions, for example CE1 or other, to see if it'll work. Might be.

Will Huawei send nougat OTA or do I have to download it?

I'm not seeing any traditional update software options in the about phone section. How will we receive Android OS updates on this tablet? Thanks.
Well it seems in the moment there just are no updates...
Normally you should get your update via ota (you should see an update option in your "main menu"), except for beta/leaked versions, if they should leak anyhow/anytime...
For now, there are no leaked or official updates for our mediapad m3 :-/

If you Google nougat for Huawei mediapad M3 there are several sites that claim they have the download you can Flash
The only thing in the about phone setting I can find about updates is updating the emui
As I know the update emui menu will also update your android (for example to android 7 + emui 5.0).
I know these sites, but as long as I do not see a link hier on xda, on the huawei news pages or on the huawei homepage itself I think these links are just nonsense.
(For example some of these pages just link every phone available and say "download XXXXX android 7 here"... I would not try to install these... But I also suppose you won't get a real package anyway there.)

Thank you. Those sites also try to force you to open up Facebook page......total b.s.
Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.
Huawei generally doesn't give a fu** about software updates. My Mediapad X2 GEM 701 never received an update. That's why I had to undergo a hugely complex updating procedure with chinese ROMs modified sh1t.
I just got the new update with October patch. They removed the navigation bar too.
How did you get this patch for your m3? Mine can not find any updates...
Chinese version only perhaps?

Correct,also it said better chrome operation,so maybe people that had problems running chrome in small format ,now can. I always had mine set in medium text and didn't have a problem. There were other things it said ,basic improvements,etc... I can't really notice any change other than the ability to disable the new buttons. Which like I said ,disables the ability to start split screen. Unless someone can tell me how to do NB it with only the fingerprint scanner......I'm also running Nova free launcher.
Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Do you mean it's sick as F in a good way or negative? How does it compare to the z3 compact please?

Haha haha,
Yes in a very good way. It's heavier than the z3 compact,and no water resistance,but it's smooth ,fast,and the LTE connectivity is incredible. I always have 5 bars of 4g. Now ,I live in Thailand,and the internet is crap here compared to the USA,so in the states it's probably even better. It was half the cost of a normal flag ship phone too,and it's basically a huge phone. It comes with a screen protector and a case,however the case is Carmel color and hard to look at,but it's growing on me. This tablet charges very fast too.
If your on the fence,buy it for sure.

I think that the NOUGAT OTA will be sent together with the new EMUI 5.0 (this version of its ui layer is based on android 7)... Anyone know an approximate date?

That will be awesome. It's hard to think of this tablet being any better,and to think I almost bought a galaxy tab s2 for $70 more..,..glad I didn't.

Do you have the original Chinese rom in it? Did it come with Google play installed? Someone mentioned touchscreen issues on another thread here, do you have any issues as such? Thanks for all the information

Yes it came with playstore installed. I have no other issues. It's much better than I thought it would be.

Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.

As far as I read not all CPUs are conform with Android 7.0. The M2 has one of them. The CPU of the M3 is conform so i hope we will see the update soon.
