New firmware 32.0.A.6.152

Just noticed there's a new firmware 32.0.A.6.152 released to a lot of regions. Downloading now to see if I can spot any changes, not expecting Marshmallow though

It's just a bug fix. Not vulnerable to Stagefright. any more.

Anyone received OTA for it yet?

Will flashing the new firmware remove the root access or wipe any data?

Root, yes. If you don't wipe userdata, it shouldn't wipe.

Yeah stagefright fixed but don't see anything else different either. The bug with expanding notifications auto-minimising is still there. I got this from a taiwanese thread about this firmware:
Update "Home" version.
Optimization "cameras" startup speed.
Re-optimized phone heating problem.
Upgrading contacts database.
Optimization of fluency.
"Camera" photographs accelerated storage time!
Optimization "cameras" code.
"Fingerprint" to enhance the ability to identify.
Optimize "RAM."
"Calendar" interface optimization.
Add "VoLET" function.
I don't notice any difference to camera startup time (from cold boot). WIll take some time to see if it's better in general.

Is the blur on the left handside still there?

in Italy was released on PC Companion

The camera takes photos way faster now, there used to be a pause after the capture, now it's ready to take another one straight away, I guess that's the "accelerated storage time".
I never really had much blur how would you like me to test it (mode/megapixels etc)

I haven't noticed the blur you're talking about. Do you want me to upload a picture or something so you can check by yourself?

Try some pics in overcast and indoor conditions in 8MP and 23MP. Mainly wanna see if AF has improved in pics with both close + far objects. Please and thank you!

Don't have OTA but PC Companion is able to update.

I don't have the device I'm just on the outside looking in, I've just noticed it on photos. Not sure if its triggered by certain conditions or settings.
Maybe somebody else can help you there

Dunno if it's what you wanted?!

Huawei Mate 9 Firmware

Hi,
Found this firmware is case anybody interested...It's for MHA-L29C432B126.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zhav205jv084pl3/update.zip?dl=0

Just received and installed the official B126 OTA update (553MB) in the Netherlands.

Nice. Any changes to share with us?

added 6x zoom
Notification when password is needed for public wifi
status bar displays notifications in a clearer way
deleted unnecessary prompts
carrier parameters for better network
November security patches

Ah also in the Netherlands but no ota just yet hope it will arrive before I catch my plane to Spain tomorrow haha

That's great news! Thank you for sharing! :highfive:

It seems they tweaked the camera a bit, a bit sharper but more importantly better white balance

Installing MHA L29C432B126 as we speak!!

Not yet here in Italy...
Inviato dal mio MHA-L29 utilizzando Tapatalk

It seems it is a phased rollout, haven't got it either although couple of people here in the Netherlands already have it.

OTA in Germany as well

Have you guys updated from B110 to B126?

I was an B109SP02.
Gesendet von meinem Huawei Mate 9

And the good news is:
Camera is significantly improved. The blurriness, washed out pics are gone and the result is now very much on par with the excellent LG G4 camera
In car BT streaming is fully working, even all tags are coming through
Notification area is improved, notifications are no longer numbers only, you can now choose icons
The whole phone feels snappier, like developer logging is switched off
This is for sure a major step forward, creating an even better phone. Samsung, are you watching?

Would be great if they improved the EIS for videos and maybe added something like auto HDR+; essentially taking some cues from the Pixel. They need to use the gyroscope like Google does.
Would also like to see an sRGB display profile for accurate colors.
General tweaks to display latency and audio output especially the headphone jack (according to reviews) would also be nice.
Of course if they would release some kernel sources and device trees etc for developers that would be amazing too but that would probably be wishful thinking
But I am glad to see that they tweaked the camera. It definitely needed it. However they still have some work to do.

Not for me, I don't like the over-saturated screaming colors of HDR, only in particular shots. Afaic Huawei made time right choice leaving it optional!

True but it does seem to take some good shots though.
But they definitely need to take a look at the EIS. It's done quite poorly from what I can tell especially in video.

New firmware released, 45.0.A.7.137

I just got the new firmware last night on my XZP dual. it comes with September security patch and improved WiFi performance, bugs fixes, optimisations & improvements (written on the update log).
What I noticed was that stuttering on Facebook app is almost gone (heavily stuttered on previous firmware especially when open some external links). Touchscreen issue is gone (I suspected this issue happened earlier due to network incompatibility that slows down the phone to the point that touch input is not recognized sometimes, it could be temporarily solved by removing sim card or swapping between sim slot 1 and 2(only possible on dual sims variant) This problem does not happen to everyone).
Will update if I find any interesting changes.

Thanks for your thread! It reminds me what i wanted to do if i got some free time. Haha... I saw that yesterday on sonymobile.com but I had no time to check it in depth. I will do that now, because they also planned to do changes for unlocked devices (no green pictures anymore) a few months ago. Would be awesome if they really did that. And I hope that they fixed the other bugs, too. I also noticed the stuttering on Facebook and some other apps.
Edit: XperiFirm actually has only the "Customized TH" @ 45.0.A.7.137 for the G8142. Have to wait for the others. But I will take a look at this version now.

Nothing here on the G8141, NL in the EU.

Thanks for the info!! but for now no update on my device G8142 dual sim Italy, EU i don't know why
P.S. you are using the 4k all the time on? i had read that the battery drain is huge

It's simple, open the image with the web browser (right click on it and open photo in another tab) and save it on your computer/smartphone and after go on his proprietis (right click on the file) and you will find, on the details tab, the size of the photo easly

I took this screenshot earlier cause someone said it wasn't true 4K. So yea. Even the launcher ones are 4K.

Only Thailand is having the update. I wonder why. I didn't get July patch so I am assuming Some won't get this.

No updates here yet in u.s
Sent from my G8142 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I just got the August update on September 4th!!!!!
Why such a difference in update release times???

I've just got A.7.137 OTA (customized DE) on my G8141. Hope it finally fixes wifi and touchscreen.

OTA september patch here (customized IT) for g8141

I got the update too (115mg)
G8142
Middle East (IRAN)

Are the wifi issues solved?

I'm on a carrier specific firmware and think about flashing a generic one. Do you guys know which files should I omit in newflasher to not mess up with the encryption because I don't want a factory reset?

''So, for today’s Xperia XZ Premium release, Sony has improved Wi-Fi performance and added other bug fixes. Unfortunately, there is still no double tap to wake added, but we remain hopeful that Sony will bring this frankly crucial feature in a future update.''

Camera2 API support?

Does this phone have it?
If yes, is the support enabled by default? Or do we need to root and enable it later by editing the build.prop?
Can someone with this phone post a screenshot of this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.weis.camera2probe

Hi awaaas,
Looking for this phone too? I have created the lounge at kaskus, you might want to check it out. Reminds me of old days.
Unfortunately, no C2A support yet, at least not in the demo unit.

Long time no see, bud... :highfive:
One of my relatives wants this phone, just want to make sure some of the phone's capabilities that reviewers often left out. For comparison, Redmi Note 5 Pro, the one that compared to this phone a lot, has Camera2 API support, but only if you edit the build.prop first (according to my friend that have it, I don't actually have that phone).
For me myself, I might will be still using my Mi 5s for foreseable future...

:highfive: Yeah, probably several years.
If me, it is me myself who are looking for this phone. RN5P still disabled the C2A, need (temporary) root to enable it. Same with this phone, if no C2A support out of box, at least we can enable it using the same method. But there is a rumour about major OTA update at 30 April. We expect to see a lot of improvement compared to the somewhat "beta" ROM from the media review unit. Let's hope to see the C2A has been enabled in this major update.

Haven't seen it anywhere yet. Only the 4K DCI/UHD and the 1080p has EIS already in the retail unit. The camera app seems will be updated tomorrow to support it. Hopefully, we can see the C2A support too in the next update.

Gcam will not work without camera api2 ! Let's wait and see...

Hope they will update to add support soon. Don't let the stock camera app be the limiting factor of image quality!

I hope someone comes with a GCam port for this phone. As far as what I tested, the phone's rear cam is quite good (except for very low light scenarios).
Also, the front cam desperately needs better balance in colors, dynamic range. Currently, selfie quality is quite decent, the colors are not accurate/natural even under good light (skin has a red tinge). And overall, brightness, noise level etc., could be tweaked a bit too.
Any suggestions for a different app that can bring out better photos out of the front cam??

Hey Aniket, thanks for the SS, can you install this Camera2 API Probe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbeat.device.inspector app, actually, in this app its gives the individual camera parameters for both front & back camera & earlier the app link that I gave, that shows the overall result so basically it was my bad so I'm requesting you to install this app instead now this time & ost the SS once again as I want to know all the parameters for both of the cam of this hone individually.
& is it possible to install Gcam in this hone without rooting or is there any tools available like this MI A1's AIO Toolhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-mi-a1-tool-drivers-unlock-t3742857 so that it can be rooted & unlocked automatically & that can be used by all the novice users, & whether all future OTA updates will be available if bootloader is unlocked & rooted & warranty will be voided or not

New update 47.2.A.4.41

Anyone got this update? what's in it new , should i update?

Can I use AAC codec for a Bluetooth device not included in the Qualcomm Whitelist? (airpods, wf 1000x, qcy t1....)
For other manufacturers, codecs are available. Sony is not possible. Qualcomm told the manufacturer to change the settings. Sony has not changed the settings. Did sony update this at this time?

Unfortunately I installed Pie on my Xperia XZ Premium. Phone is now completely useless becouse I cannot even change volume of ringer. Is it any way to repair xz premium without unlocking bootloader? I wonder back to Android Oreo or Nougat? I have bought fully working phone without silly limitation from Android 9.0. Maybe the best way is to send phone on RMA where they repair phone or send phone directly to seller and request another one without defect known as Android Pie?
