Has anybody tested the geekbuying firmware ZTE Nubia Z17 Snapdragon 835 Octa Core Android 7.1 Smartphone Firmware 20170817 (i cant post links so google the bold text) ? They say that any google app wil work.
I am currently thinking about buying this phone but i don't know what to do. I've read throughout the forum that there are problems with the google apps (maybe this geekbuying firmware is good) and that the phone and the notification LED (the home button) will not react to facebook/whatsapp notifications which is a big deal. I saw that the notification issue can be solved by rooting the device and doing some gimmick. The problem is that i am a newbie and i have no idea how to root the device, what to install, what to do and what not to.
Can you guys give me some feedback of how are you dealing with this issues and if the phone is worth the extra effort you have to put in?
Oh and can someone tell me if hearthstone works on it?
Thank you!
Hello,
As you can see into their link, it is a 2.44 release.
I'll have a look to see if there is something related to google in it

Hi i recently purchased my z17 from geekbuying and the problem remains the same with there firmware, Gmail is giving error 'com.google.android.gm.mailmigration is having trouble with google play services. please try again' , gdrive is not functional , google photos cant back up, maps not properly functional, play store gives error ' check your internet connection', google cant sync.
So all gapps are not fully functional, so i contacted geekbuying and they have given a new link for flash. lets see if that works, i will update you after trying that soon.
I asked the same question to geekbuying yesterday.
I've the play store fully functional.
Just open the "task manager" (double tap on the left "button", move the window down. You will see a lock icon on the top right of the picture. Do the updates or install.
To "unlock", do the same once.
It works.
Waiting for a real international ROM too
same issue with gapps
So ive tried there new firmware that they emailed me a link for but again the issue arises with some gapps, although the play store is working but what good it is if you are spending $440 on a latest beautiful looking device and cant have full functional apps.
Therefore, only play store is functional now other apps like gdrive, chrome, google photos, gmail,etc not working, so overall its a false advertisement from geekbuying...
I saw if I set the play store as default apps application ( settings => apps => parameters) and set the parameter (in the play store) as "update automatically only in wifi mode" (don't remember the real text), the updates are done automatically with no problems.
Hi all,
No real answer from now. I'm not sure to have an international ROM 'cause the "new Z17S is now available".
Same (hardware) design except a dual camera in the front.
May be we can use Z17S ROM (if an international one is coming) and change the camera module with a Z17 one ?

So, it should become a pretty decorative object or an expensive "presse-papier"
Just wait for the availability of the Z17S ROM and make comparison if it is possible.
I didn't find how to mod the original ROM, for example, to add western mobile providers.
And complete the untranslated Chinese texts.

You are right, I got the same confirmation a week ago. And ... as you can see, they are starting to sell the Z17S with official global rom (EN_Common V1.02), see here:

I don't think that ROM is official. On the Nubia official Facebook page , when people ask them about a date for the international launch date they just ask for patience and to keep following the Facebook page for more info.
I am really curious about how this ROM behaves so please do tell how is your experience after you receive it.
Thank you!

Hi,
I've been trying to get the MyPhone premium features trial (locate lost phone/remote ring etc.) to work on the HD2 and to set this up the service needs to send 12 silent messages to the phone. This worked on my old Polaris just fine but on the HD2 it fails to recieve these 12 messages and therfeore the service cant be used.
Does anyone else have this problem???
Thanks
Just gave it a go - same problem - FYI I'm on Vodafone..
Have you guy's updated your ROM to the newest version? Maybe HTC has fixed it... I don't know, but it's worth a try.
I've not flashed yet, due to the O2 branded ROM, might try the goldcard method on the weekend.
Anyone with the newer ROM care to try the free premium features trial and report back
Thanks

TBH don't see the point in waiting until ROM is officially announced, after all it doesn't work in the current ROM neither! So reporting it as "not working" now just means they can't come back with a "this feature is supported in a forthcoming ROM" (or if they do then we'll know they are talking about something coming later in the pipeline than 1.48!).
I think the more people that report it the better; especially as the whole MS MyPhone feature doesn't seem to have had all that much marketing (at least the here in the UK) therefore the might not immediately be that many people complaining about it.
Just my opinion
Don't know if it's relevant, but having run MyPnone on the original ROM I was (as is standard) asked to download an update to the application. I did this and all was well until today when I was asked to download another update, which I have also done.
Why not see if there is any way to force this update - it may be a bugfix?

Semi-relevent but sadly not a fix..
The 'updated' version of the MyPhone app contains the code for the 'Premium' service to work, however these in turn have to then be supported by the phone itself. FYI. Turns out what it does is constantly monitor your incoming txt messages for and intercepts specially formatted ones from the MS server instructing it to do something (ie. for the MyPhone app to launch and connect back to base, turn ringer to full and ring, acquire GPS fix, etc etc). I'd hazard a guess it is the HTC Sence txt messaging service which is preventing this service from working - after all it is known already not to play nice with the txt message notification queue and instead hog it to itself.
So in summary: without the update you'd have no chance of the location element of the Premium Services working, with it you still need support from your handset and it would seem up to ROM 1.48 at least we have sadly confirmed not to have this with the HD2 at this stage. A fix needs to come from either HTC or Microsoft (further updated to MyPhone app), or quite possibly both.
There's a relevant thread over at the MyPhone forum that I tried to add to http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/MyPhone/thread/57659d5c-2077-4387-9bda-92643e17cab7
not had a reply yet, maybe we need a new thread over there?
i think it must be the HTC messaging app ... has anyone install back the old windows message app, and try the myphone Premium features again?
Im going to bump this thread now that custom ROMS are out there and ask
Is anyone with the htc messaging removed able to set up the premium features of MyPhone?
How do you disable HTC messaging....?
Can you fully disable senseUI ?
On a stock rom....
Serriously, your telling me that no one cares about locating their lost phone, remote wiping etc!
but threads like oh god I bought the wrong phone get a responce
Any luck with a 1.66 ROM?

If you are looking for find my phone style software, forget the myphone premium, go look at Remotetracker. Free, and superb. Stuffed with tons of features. TXT your phone, it will call you back with the microphone open, another command will text you gps coordinates and a link to the position on google maps, another commands will start the gps, make a 5 minute track log and then text it to you in google earth compatible format,, send popup messages to teh phone, get it to send you all your contacts, get it to wipe the SD card, the list is endless.
http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/
remotetracker is good but I would prefer to be able to use a website to contact my phone rather than having to send a text to it. also being able to ring the phone etc and view it on a map

Hi all, how about battery life when comparing CM13 with stock rom? Thanks.
Hi all!
I recently received my Z2 Pro (128gb) from Coolicool the other day and I though I would let you know of my experience.
It came with the 'international firmware' on it preventing the use of OTA and Uhealth so like many others I proceeded to flash it with stock Chinese firmware.
Following this guide - ahh...as a new user it seems I can't yet post links. But I would like to thank m_atze for his time in writing it!
METHOD 2!!
At first I kept getting saraha errors but moving the firmware to a short folder on my laptops main drive solved this error (ie. c:\\zuk\.....)
Flashing went ahead without a single problem
Changed the language to english and proceeded to uninstall chinese apps and install the ones I wanted.
There was then the latest OTA which didn't require a VPN
Other than there being a few mis-translations the phone seems very fast and stable (I am coming from a Galaxy S4)
A day of standard use from me left me with over 50% battery compared to the <10% I would have from the i9505
Overall very happy with my purchase and looking forward to an official full english android 7 firmware release!
I do seem to be having issues with push notifications and widget updates. I'm sure that will be fixed soon enough.

I have now! Makes sense that this should solve the problem. Gimmie the day and I will let you know. Cheers
kinda works better now. Chrome seems to force close after opening, only once though and then it works fine.
First of all, I am from Canada on the Rogers network. I originally bought the Chinese version from Kijiji and had it for about three weeks or so. Awesome phone. I had the usual issues with notifications working then not working but otherwise it was great. Now the L29 has full Google integration to the point where core apps cannot be removed. It even has Android Pay (although it does not work in Canada yet) where the L00 had HiWallet or something like that. But the main thing, knock on wood, is since Friday notifications have worked flawlessly. I noticed that the L29 only has 6 levels of zoom in the camera with B138 (I had 10 levels with B156 on the L00). It also displays 4GLTE on the L29 as apposed to just 4G on the L00 though I know I was getting LTE speeds. So far I am I am enjoying my decision to change to the L29. One small thing I noticed is I swear there was an arrow to hide the navigation keys when in an app on the L00 but it is not there on the L29. A small thing but I liked it. I am sure there are other things that I have missed but that is all that I can think of for now.
Dhatw.
You are correct about the zoom and the hide navigation button. It appears on other firmwares/models.
I had the Chinese version and i also have the New Uk version MHA-L09 running b26 and they both had the navigation

B126 you mean? The UK build is mha-l09c432b126?
Sorry yes B126 typo lol
Just a quick update, it has been six full days now and I am still getting all my notifications in a timely manner. No issues what so ever in that department. Hopefully, this marks the end of the "notification bug" for all.

Contact @duraaraa and ask him if he can help you with rebranding to L29c432b138 and once that is completed, go here to unlock your device, https://www.dc-unlocker.com/. it will cost you a few bucks but totally worth it as you get the unlock code right away. Use the FAQ / tutorial pages to learn how to get the unlock code.
I used FunkyHuawei when it was still in service to change to L29c432b138 and then paid for unlock code at the link i provided. I got the unlock code within a min or less. it took more time reading the tutorial and running their software.
Hi, I also had the same 2 issues.
1) No OEM unlock option: I managed to unlock anyway so I suggest just give it a try
2) Keep going back to Huawei login: I just kept trying. Think I tried with different browsers as well. Eventually I got through
NOTE: If you want to flash TWRP ensure you have deactivated "Find my phone". Gave me headaches (thank you duraaraa)

Chrome doesn't work
I just figured out the solution for the "always going back to login" problem, it seems the Google Chrome browser doesn't work. I have tried with IE and it worked the first try itself.
One question, when you perform a rebranding from L00 to L29 following FunkyHuawei method at funkyhuawei.club/rebranding, does the phone behave like an original L29 version? Meaning you will have all Google services and OTA updates as any other original L29 phone? Or is there any difference at all?

Yes you will have all the services like original L29.
on thew L29, do your social apps like whatsapp/telegram show notifications even if apps are closed?
Here, as usual for the "vendor" package.
For the full ROM upgrade you have to go to the proper support website.
Not for EU variant?

The linked stuff os just the firmware, the so called "vendor blob".
For the full ROM update you have to reach out Realme's support site, something like this and select "realme X2 pro".

Yeah I'm just waiting for the release on EU website as I've always done, just feel more confident that way. I'm just curious, I can't find the website again which showed the new AOD style, so you guys don't see new stuff?
is global version de eu version?
how do i know which i have.
I also receive the OTA but I can't find it on the realme support page, it still show the .32
Little question, I'm currently rooted. Can I installe the OTA via the Realme updater without issue ? (except the loss of root, but I don't care)
I've noticed an issue with the dialer. When calling someone there is no dialer tone so I don't know if it's actually ringing until the other person answers. Did anyone else notice this issue after updating to c.33?

Hello.
I've made the C33 update too but I don't have the behavior you're describing.
I tried calling multiple phone numbers I have at the office (mobile and fix) and each time I was hearing the usual tone before people pick up the line.
By my side, I have noticed another strange issue, but I don't know if it's due to the C33 update or if it's is due to something coming from my unit only.
After finishing the update process, the phone restarts normally but at the beginning I have a pop-up message asking me if I want to activate location services.
Each time I reboot my device, this pop-up message does show and I have to accept it even if the location services hasn't been switched OFF before reboot.
This pop-up message doesn't show if I make a restart instead of a reboot.
However, the more annoying thing is that the GNSS services aren't working as before whatever a restart or reboot is done.
If I use a GPS test application, I usually can see the number of sats and all the relevant details they give (NMEA messaged, etc...).
But since C33 update, I can see these information only for a minute or a few more, then they stop being refreshed and no other information are available than the position and speed.
It doesn't affect navigation, but I have some personal tracking project and these information were essential for my needs.
Can someone make a test with its X2 Pro and tell me if this issue does only concern my phone and not the C33 update?

I have exactly the same symptoms. GPS tool works after reboot for three minutes. Then all satellites are gone. See second screenshot. Navigation keeps working and is accurate. I do not have a "enable location pop-up" after each reboot.
I have X2pro 12/256 global with C33.

I do not get this message when rebooting, but I do have the same with the GPS test app (tried 2). It does give my right location also when moving around so the GPS does work correctly.
Thank you people for the quick feedback.
I don't know if it is possible to apply C32 *.ozip package after a C33 update to recheck if the behavior was also present in previous firmware release.
I tried looking for some answers about firmware version reverts, but I can only find downgrade process to go back to Android 9, and it isn't what I want to do.
I know this type of NMEA informations isn't relevant for everybody, but in my case this issue has a huge impact on a bench metrology system I'm using and using my phone as a GNSS Location tracker is a very handy solution.
It was properly working in July then I had to debug other matters before using back this function again in November.
If I was aware this update will affect my phone, I will probably not apply it...
I didn't notice any issues while using Google Maps, nor did I see any warning messages, but I've noticed the same thing using the gps test app.
