One M9+

Should this of been what HTC launched as the M9?
It would of been more of an incentive to upgrade going by the specs.
What's your views on the recently announced M9+?

I decided to skip M9 and get M9+ instead, unless the later M9 Eye is even better...
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

It's being released for China only, so i'm not worried at all. The one we got now is quite a beast and can defo stand up to the others.
But yes, it's a strange choice by HTC, but that's nothing new

An ugly duckling?

Actually, it will be coming to other countries too, didn't see this part in the post:
The HTC One M9+ is currently available in China only and will be ranged in other markets, to be confirmed locally at a later date. Please follow your local country pages for availability information.

Good to know, but is it worth it coming from M8 to M9? Currently using sense7 also, to me I don't think is worth it because I really want a bigger screen. That's why I will wait for HTC if not iPhone 6S plus.

M9+
Well as an early adopter I took the eBay plunge and bought an M9+ via China. I'm a Canadian on the bell network and moving from a HTC one M7 to the M9+ is definitely an improvement. My wife has the M8 so I think I can speak a little to the pros/cons a little.
First off the M9+ works fine on the Bell network. Since I saw the iPhone come with a fingerprint scanner I've been pretty jealous. Needless to say the M9+ scanner seems quite receptive and haven't had any issues to date. The larger qhd screen is nice and really those two features are really what made me go to the M9+ over the regular m9.
The one scary thing as an early adopter using a chineese phone getting my google apps installed ( gmail , play store, contacts , ) which I've become so reliant on. just having the ability to install any apps known to the north American market. Thanks to the xda community as there is a small writeup ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...perience-regarding-installing-google-t3111090 ) on getting them on the forum as your forced to use the chineese play store and when you can't read or understand any chineese it's a bit of a problem.
Haven't been quite able to figure out how to get rid of ChinaSense 7.0 and just go plain English but some notifications and blinkfeed is limited go chineese news but I find that minor. Hopefully there will be or already is a workaround.
Anyways 2 days in and I'm impressed. Ide reccomend going for the plunge if you're a HTC fan for sure.

hahaaaa.....
You will have Google apps and regular Sense 7.0 out of box if you buy the device,M9+, from India or Taiwan....
But the inconvenience is there is less channel to buy it on these countries then China.
If there were custom ROMs in the future and you would like to flash it,it will be all right.

I thought the release in Dubai/UAE was June 1st? Where is it already available in that case?

Available.. (with Comtel warranty - just anticipating your next question.. )

AED 2500 With 2 years Comtel warranty and price might drop down in the next couple of days

great news. I'm crunching on a chinese version, and so far so good... looking at how to create some international recovery and possibly some international rom for owners of the chinese version to switch to... first, i'll need to look at the chinese TWRP recovery if it can be switched to english twrp, but i'm lost yet in the chinese pages linked in some of the threads in this xda section

Is there a place that sells it online so I can have it shipped to KSA? It is still not released here yet

online sales not available but wait for a couple of days

its available now in some stores in Dubai

ZE551ML and ZE550ML are currently being tested for Android M. It's not yet on the announcement board of zentalk but a moderator categorically replied to my thread in zentalk and confirmed that it's already starting the development stage. (see attached photo)
Link : http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=51072&extra=page=1&mobile=2

@ASUS_Khang, would you kindly comment on this as to how we are going to accept and understand the statement given?? Thanks

I just read that as, they are testing to see if it's capable of running it. Not that they're actually doing anything about it. I just want 5.1.1 and the lack of that is bloody annoying. Come on asus.

Don't wanna be too optimistic and rude at the same time. But isn't testing it on those devices implies plan to implement. Otherwise why test if there is no clear plan of development? Again am not being too optimistic just looking at all possible angles.
Just my two cents.

I was trying to analyze the message ARP_ASUS said, if they are testing it on ZE551ML and ZE550ML. Then definitely there is a source code available and optimize already for x86 device.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but u can't test something on a x86 device if you don't have a Android M source code specifically for x86 right?

Asus is not even capable of giving us 5.1. Forget about 6.0.
Just my humble opinion.
Nothing to see on this line

Man, I sure do love Monday morning volatility and vitriol, don't you?
Short of an announcement on their official pages, I'd still take any confirmation of the Marshmallow update, even on the official forums from a mod as a response, with a bit of salt. That being said, this is quite interesting. It seems like it is a firm statement that the pre-Zenfone 2 devices will not be updated by ASUS to 6 (not extremely surprising but it's a good gauge for us as to potential expected device support longevity).
Indeed, testing implies development. There have been times in the past where a company has tested an update and, in the end, chosen not to finalize and push it out (Atrix 4g comes to mind, since the development builds were eventually leaked showing that work had been done trying to get it to work). With the relatively close system requirements changes between Lollipop and Marshmallow, that probably won't be a factor in it. I'm not sure how those x86 Intel sources factor into it, but with actual testing being done that builds up my optimism!

Hey - I can't really comment on what that means. Testing sounds great which gives me hope we'll see Android M, but that message in and of itself doesn't sound official enough for me. Again, I'm trying to help by asking HQ a ton of questions and seeing what the plan is. These things take a ton of time because they need to go through a lot of people. All I can ask is for your patience and understanding.
I plan on following up with HQ about this.

Thanks, Keep us posted if something comes up.

I don't see why there is all this whinging about the Zenfone 2 on the forum.
It has got twice the ram and 4 times the storage of my previous phone (S4) for less than half the price of the S4.
Data and phone signals are as good or better than the S4 in my experience, and the phone is faster and smoother.
As to the ram leak, with 4gig who cares., and with 64gig internal and 64gig external I don't give a toss about the bloat.
Battery - with my usage the battery lasts 2 days, the same as my S4 now that it has lollipop.
Asus is putting out firmware updates regularly, they may not be 5.1.1 or 6.0, but if they improve the phone experience so what.
My only gripe with my phone so far is that I had to get it from Hong Kong, if Asus can sell it in France then they can get off their asses and sell it in the UK.

While I would fully expect Asus to provide an update to at least 5.1, or even 6.0, I believe in you get what you pay for. For a $300 phone, you get good bang for your buck, and I appreciate Asus having a rep stay active in the forum, Reddit, and ZenTalk.
There's nothing that says Asus has to provide this update, since it's not a Nexus device, and looking at models like Samsung LG, or Moto, it takes months to get their phones to what is or was the current iteration of Android.
I did however stick my faith in Asus for what I think is a good product, and this will be the determining factor as to if I ever purchase anything Asus again. I think a lot of people feel that way. We could have gone the Moto or even OPO route, but when went with Asus. It's up to them to keep us happy and coming back.

I saw it being sold on Amazon.co.uk, the ww version that was being shipped from Amazon UK, which is great if you have a problem and need to return it. Though I would suggest getting the US version if you are set on getting this phone, because it has more bands unlocked, which I will admit their bands are a huge plus on this phone. Keep in mind that the second sim only works on 2G voice/text and data is software blocked.

Hoping for fixing battery drain Android OS crap with 6.0

To be fair, Asus is still better than the likes of Oppo - many of their phones are still stuck on KitKat.

Nexus 6 end support date October 2016

Lists Nexus 6 no guaranteed support after October 2016......I feel like I just got this device too.........

Sounds good; no more monthly Ota I hope.

This only determines OS updates. We'll get monthly OTAs for another year. Looking back at N5 and N4, I'm sure we'll get 7.0.1, 7.1 and so on...

Exactly, we'll get Android N and all the updates it brings. We will not get Android O for sure, at least not officially When you have a nexus and know what a rom is, that's not a big problem.

Plan on selling mine and getting whatever the next Nexus is; two years is enough time for me time to move on.

Nope just will not buy their devices anymore this is the last one for me!

Seems there are 2 options for Google Nexus devices:
A. No guaranteed support
B. No support

Guys pls don't bash me but iPhone 4s launched 4 years back was updated to iOS 9 and will probably get iOS 10 as well...At least for nexus devices Google needs to have a longer update horizon , maybe at least 2 years from the date the device was last sold ...no I did not say iPhone is better , calm down
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think they should be updating longer as well, but it's not like they haven't been upfront about it for a long time now. It's less of an issue to me, as I always run community ROMs and there are going to be devs supporting AOSP builds for a long time to come.

http://www.xda-developers.com/updat...panic-nexus-phones-dont-have-execution-dates/
Just because it's not guaranteed doesn't mean OS updates will stop. Look at the N5 and N7 2013.

Guys, this is a nexus. I don't even run stock the moment I received my nexuses. So I don't mind about firmware support.
On the other hand, Google had the best customer support I've ever encountered. I had problems with a few unit of my nexus and got replacement several times without a problem.

Simple would be: a Nexus device can expect to receive updates for 2 years and security updates for 3 years.
A list with dates is unrealistic because they use the words ' no guaranteed '

You could always migrate to Shamsung or htc, where the official support period is about six months shorter......because it takes six months for the update to arrive.

Well, you get at least 3 years of support.

I purchased this device knowing that as soon as I got it powered up I was going to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then root. I even had Multirom planned and a few custom Roms picked out.
That's why I got it. Not for the camera or SOT, but for development and testing and to just have fun with it. Even if they stop supporting it in October there will still be custom Roms for it and several good stock builds too.
I plan on getting what ever Google builds to replace this device but am planning on keeping this around and ready to go. With 3gigs of ram, and the processor it has, this device will be around for some time yet and still be a formidable device.
Just my humble opinion.
"Chance Favors the Prepared"

Is there a US release date yet?

I'm currently looking at an upgrade for my LG G3 (which died so now I'm using my old S4) and was looking at the OP3 when I stumbled upon this phone, which I'd never heard of. Overall, it sounds great but I can't seem to find an actual release date anywhere (which is concerning, as someone who waited far too long for the droid bionic back in the day and after months upon months of waiting, settled for a different phone). Does anyone even have an approximate release date for this in the US? If it's not sometime in the near future, I might just snag the OP3 and go about my day, but I'm hoping someone has heard something about it.
Thanks!

No there isn't and do we need a new thread for this question every week?

Honestly, that's my fault. I try not to revive old threads (since that usually has people's heads exploding) and had read the other thread with the same topic and thought it was from last month (rather than a few days ago).
Sorry about that!

If there's a release date, it will be probably be a sticky thread with plenty of comments.

So, I'm not sure if this is valid but I was comparing a few phones on phone arena and noticed that there is a date included there. Apparently, it says July 30th . . . Below is the link I used:
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/ZTE-Axon-7,OnePlus-3,HTC-10/phones/10068,10017,9582
Here's the full info page:
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/ZTE-Axon-7_id10068
No idea where they got this date (or if there's any truth to it) but figured I'd share it all the same.

Well Canadian website mobilesyrup reported that the phone will come out later in the year for Canada. If Canadian and US releases are linked would that mean Q3 or Q4 release? I hope not...

These companies need to get their crap together. I was going to go for an HTC 10 but due to AT&T not carrying it and the only other option being directly through them, I was opting for this, as it's cheaper outright.
Now they're flopping around with a release date for this. I need a new phone ASAP due to mine having issues. They're going to force me into an OP3.

Same here, I pre-ordered the HTC 10 and for some reason HTC cancelled my order. Now I want the Axon 7 but ZTE doesn't want my money. OP3 is getting closer and closer by the days...

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as both of you. Being on a 3 year old phone that was already dying when I originally switched from it, I kinda need a phone fast (especially since the camera on it has a cracked lense so I can't take pictures with it). Between that and the likelihood of the ZTE bootloader being locked (I know some people in here think that's not going to be the case and I hope not but if what I've read is correct in other post, ZTE keeps their phones pretty locked down. Probably even more likely with that Passport 2.0 system they'll be supporting), I'm starting to think this is not going to be worth the wait. If it comes out in July, I'd still ideally like to wait a while to read some quality reviews and see what happens in the development community before I jump onboard. When I consider that over buying the OP3, which is all ready to go, unlocked, and with an active developer community, it's kinda hard to justify waiting it out (especially if I have to potentially wait until the end of the year since no date has been confirmed . . . which SHOULD be the easiest thing a company can do. Provide a release date!).
Good luck, everyone! I hope you guys get the phones you want!

The only big issue I have with the OP3 is I keep hearing about LTE issues with AT&T, who is my provider.

Hmm. That is a concern as I have AT&T as well . . . I was concerned about the Wi-Fi, based on what I've read . . . but the Nexus 6P seems like such a step back at this point and I don't want to wait for the Nexus "Marlin" to see if it will be a decent device (and for a decent price).
Man, such a great opportunity for ZTE to step in! Too bad they can't seem to pull it together!

Much in the same boat as well
Sitting on my old Nexus 4 and would like to pick up the Axon 7. But OP3 is calling my name if I don't hear anything about a release date for the Axon 7. Both of them have the needed band 12 for T-mobile and that is what I am looking for.

WIith OP phones, you are pretty much doing beta testing for them for first 3-6 months. Both OP1 and OP2 had tons of bugs and nagging issues at launch. I owned them so I know.

Band 12 means nothing unless you get T-mobile blessing to use it. I don't see OP doing the extra work for it. OP2 doesn't have it and I doubt OP3 does either. USA isn't their market.

G6 Oreo update... How much longer?

Been reading through xda and other websites for a while now and i gotta say, I'm very disappointed with how long it takes LG to release oreo for the G6. No beta program, no info of when they are planning to release, not even a leaked oreo for LG flagship device. Last year LG was one of the first to release Nougat for the G5, this year pretty much every mobile phone manufacturer has already released oero for their phones (final or beta) and LG... Well... Hasn't!!! Maybe we should remind LG that they released the G6 phone, cause they're so quiet about oreo update for it, it feels like they've forgotten they put a flagship device called LG G6 out on the market. Soooooo disappointing :/

Mind that they released no update for European G6 for more than 4 months, maybe in April we will receive march patch, and Oreo when P will be announced... Lol

if the update is important for you just sell your G6 and buy any other phone from other brand
LG = very very slow SNAIL
i miss my nexus phones
this picture is from October and nothing new after that

Not saying it is sooooo important, but it would be nice to see that LG actually cares, considering they are one of the main companies on the market. Hell... Even an official info about release date would be ok.
And the screen you attached... That's like from end of october. And since then... Nothing.

Now that's more like it. Has it been released in Korea for beta-testing or anything like that?? Those screens.... Are they made by LG or someone from outside the company got the ROM for testing and shared the screens?

Nope. On android 8.0 we will stay very long time.

I'm not holding my breath for 8.1 on Verizon. This will be the last non Google phone I buy. I almost bought the Pixel instead of this phone. I bought the G6 on launch day.

Can someone download and upload it for h870 ?

In my humble opinion we shouldn't be holding our breath. Most customers of these phones are not techie freaks like us, and don't really care about the underlying OS version, especially because the LG skin provides a lot of additional features anyway. I think LG knows this, and what most interests their customers is that their phones just work quickly, reliably and smoothly, with the features they have. LG probably couldn't give a hoot about us nut cases who can't wait to get their hands on the latest OS version that somebody else has.

Funny thing... Not long after i created this topic, comes a post from liushangrong with screenshots of a 19a preview oreo build for LG G6. Korean website and screens from Korean G6 running oreo. I've never seen those screens before, has anyone of you guys? I can only think of 2 things here.
1. Coincidense
2. LG know they're late with oreo update and have their employee keeping an eye out for any signs of disappointment here on xda, and if such is seen, giving a proof of oreo update being worked on.
Sounds crazy? Maybe, but it's just something that came to my mind :/

They just don't know how to communicate.
Others are selling craps, but they are communicating, keeping hype alive.
