Haven't visited here in a while...missed your request for help. I am led to believe that simply inserting a SIM without a plan will not do anything for you. I changed providers lately and until the SIM was activated, nothing happened, then boom, latest patch, which was not yet available on the...

I have to eat my words and recant...back to non working notifications from "Professional reminder" and Textra. Plus still having unexpected wake up locks at night. Not sure wtf happened, but this is one thing that I absolutely hate about this otherwise good phone. Fcuk..back to the drawing...

Adding to an old thread that might not interest anyone at this point, but in the spirit of sharing... I got a bit curious (also frustrated with WearOS waking up the phone at night for no apparent reason) and re-enabled PowerGenie. I wiped out the Optimizer data, so I had to go and disable...

Canadian version gets 10.1.0.300 with August security update. At least Huawei hasn't abandoned the phone....for now.

10.1.0.300 installed yesterday, August security update.

https://itigic.com/all-secret-codes-of-emui-10-for-huawei-mobile/ These work for me, but could not find a real use. I miss the Scamsung ability to force a particular band or combo of bands.

Looks like Huawei woke up...Sep 2nd is the estimated date for the August security patch. :D

I forgot to mention that I lost my settings for the Huawei Home Launcher (I use it alternatively with Nova...I get bored easily ?) besides that I don't see any downside yet to 10.1. Oh, and Themes seems to be working again for Canucks as I could log into my account...something I couldn't do in 10.

Whaddaya know..thanks for the tip. I didn't pay attention to the USB options as I blindly go select MTP. On topic : C792 received 10.1 updates this week on all Canadian carriers. Excruciatingly slow to download...took me 3 hours over a 500Mbps connection (yes, wireless is good on this phone)...

snovvdog use ADB to uninstall /disable anything you don't use...like Hiview. If you look around you'll see there is no middle ground, people are either happy with the upgrades (like me...knock on wood) or cursing out loud. The behavior to me seems related to the hw variant and carrier software...

I gave up looking for one as everything I found was manufacturer specific (mostly VW or PSA)...Torque does the job for me just fine.

All the cables are "standard" - as much as such thing exists when it comes to Chinese stuff. You can get the 4 pin or 6 pin USB cable on Aliexpress or Fleabay...but it will take an eternity to get to Canada. ---------- Post added at 11:47 ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 ---------- You...

Knock on wood, certainly my battery life is the same or better than when I got the phone. Not just my subjective impression but Accubattery data. Even Power Genie stayed dead after the upgrade...I was ready to uninstall it again. 4% drop in 11 hours last night. :good:

Wait a few days for the battery algorithm to be optimized. I went and cleared the cache partition as I had absolutely no intention of doing a full wipe. Fingers crossed, looks the same as before...TBH I don't know why we all (myself included) got excited about 10.1 ? I did see on YT someone...

I see 10.1.0.286 weighing in at 5.9GB on VTR. Looks like you peeps gave up on this excellent phone as this thread is dead...

No need to cross-post in all the threads.

That's what I would recommend anyway... Can't get TWRP to stay up long enough to even get a backup of the system...so I wouldn't risk flashing anything bigger than 100MB or so (another recovery, root, etc). Find the post I referenced from gouster3...that's what I flashed through SPFT...any ROM...

A little bit of reading didn't kill anyone...so far. :p To save you the excruciating pain of searching this forum, I'll say that the radio apk is a system app and can ONLY be replaced if you have root. It's not your regular Android app as it talks to the MCU...so it can't be replaced with a...

https://forums.fido.ca/t5/custom/page/page-id/forumpage.osupgradesen EMUI 10.1 coming to Rogers in a week, others will follow. PLEASE if you upgrade, post your experience, what works and what doesn't.

chevycam94 I agree we should vigorously pursue disputes with sellers of such garbage. I got a Carlaoer sold as Android 8.1Go that turned out to be API 23 (Android 6.0)...opened a dispute and got some money back. Folks should be aware that even memory and flash numbers can be fudged, so a...

MrLuyKi You can, either you find a ROM broken down into individual images, or you bite the bullet, get someone's dump and using WWR you break it down yourself (haven't tried, looked like a daunting task and I also disliked/distrust the way you launch the software - but it seems to work). In the...

This is why I recommended going to the thread I got my sw from and following the steps very carefully. This is not as simple as flashing a ROM or a kernel from recovery. IF you manage to get recovery (the link I provided has that in it) iy might get easier after...but know that you cannot invoke...

Mine ONLY works when the unit has NO power (I removed the black power connector in the back before anything)...start SPFT and an operation, ONLY THEN connect the USB cross cable. When I fked my preloader I had to short the test pins WHILE connecting the USB cable....so that might be what you...

Ignore the message and deselect "open light" to turn LEDs off during day. In my car they still turn on with the car lights. And stop trying to change colors in the cheapo units. Only in the higher end ones you will find real RGB LEDs.

Did you not read that this only works ONCE....you suggesting someone to do this EVERY day. :eek:

Both work on mine (Carlaoer as well) with the sw in the link. Again, just the name does not mean much, it's generic branding. You need to make sure it's the same CPU (probably) and MCU (uncertain) before flashing anything. Do NOT jump. Read some more, look at the requirements on 4pda.ru and...

:o Fixed now... As for 4pda.ru, yes, it's my goto place for lot of things - as people have maintained the curiosity to pick things apart, fix or improve them and then put them back together. The things I've seen replacing the MCU amplifier, capacitors and LED are nothing short of amazing. At...

This has to be indeed one of the worst forums on XDA...been here for almost 10 years now and I struggle every time I need to look for something in it. The folks offering real help are few and far between, most posts are "halp me apgrade to andriod 10" or at best "I can't be bothered to read the...

The API version shows what version of Android you have https://source.android.com/setup/start/build-numbers If I was to believe that output, you have Android 10 (API 29). Use Aida64, looks like the Chinese have learned how to fake even the API version reported by 3rd apps. :p

Can confirm what pizzaboy192 has posted. You will NOT be able to use any sound processing, not even to mute radio during navigation directions because of this funky implementation. All you can do is root and then replace the radio apk with the macnaughty one that does save stations and (for me)...

It's very moody...sometimes it goes straight to radio, sometimes to Agama(my launcher). I tried putting Agama in the Auto launch section of factory settings, but that only works after a reboot, not hibernation. I also tried to launch things from Agama, but of course that assumes Agama is running...

You will NOT get any notification from PC when connected. The scatter file IS included in the software I linked to if this is what you want to flash. Methinks however that we're talking different units here. The topic was for the VW unit, the software nomenclature looks nothing like mine. So...

bicer79 you quoted my whole post and the link to what I used is in the first line. What else is unclear.... ? ---------- Post added at 13:43 ---------- Previous post was at 13:41 ---------- You might have to go the SPFlash tools route, that's what I ended up doing. Read the post where I got...

No, Torque cannot read the canbus info from the HU adapter, only via BT or WiFi from the ODBII dongles. I have a similar setup and need to turn on the ODBII adapter for Torque to read any information, despite the HU having access to car data through its own adapter.

Amen brother...I've learned my lesson :laugh: BTW did you manage ever to do a backup from TWRP? I posted in a few related threads that mine craps out after 1 min. It looks like the display timeout does not get deactivated or changed to 5min (as I tried). Really reluctant to flash another recovery.

It crashed after 500-600MB of WRITING the boot partition...USB stick or Internal flah, makes no diff. I REALLY hate SPFlash tools and would have preferred TWRP backup and restore. BTW: I tried your suggestion to RST and touch the screen with 5 fingers...it did NOT bring me into TWRP. Still...

Considering that when I fked up my unit it was because of the build.prop file (wrong permissions) and that I recovered fairly easy just flashing the Android image, I suggest you do the same if you have a backup or find your version dumped here or on 4pda.ru. No one can tell you which files you...

Not likely to find help in this 8227L thread...you might be out of luck and those units like yours are few and far between, with poor support.

The only 2 places where this is set (to my - limited - knowledge) are the Car Settings "Navigation" - try deselecting the app currently used, maybe point to another listed app and second place would be the "Volume" settings, where you can play with the "mix" slider. BTW this last one makes no...

I used https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units/everything-yt9216b-t4007063 to flash my unit as I needed root to fix the bloody radio. The seller was never replying to my messages so I gave up getting any software from him. My unit is NOT this one, it's a 9" generic...

chaveiro thank you for taking the time to detail all the steps in plain English. I could have used it this past weekend when I managed to brick my unit :) Certainly helps a lot more than getting Google translate to talk about "drain the dump" and "sew the files" plus my favorite "add the...

You can try Viper4Android - works with Poweramp.

It really could be a number of things...wrong image for your unit, faulty write process at some point...can you hook up a keyboard and/or mouse and see if you can navigate to Factory Settings to see if touch test passes? I'll tell you what: based on my experience, no one will be able to assist...

Well if you saw my post then you saw that I was able to push an image only AFTER shorting the test pins. Pics attached for 3 MB designs (9216,17,18) If you wanna do a quick test, try a "Readback" first.

Smarty_009 you likely found this by now: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28296/how-to-fully-backup-non-rooted-devices Sorry, was busy fking up my perfectly working system :crying:

Worked for me last week...try 7zip as an alternative.

First and foremost, I want to thank viktorsaari and gouster3 for posting detailed instructions and taking the time to provide the files as well. EDIT: NVM ignore the comments about bricking it, I was able to restore from the from the dump I had, for some reason it never pushed it until I...
