Have you installed it? Highly doubt fm radio will be included on vzw branded firmware but would be happy to be wrong in this case.

....and if it's not rooted with mobile Hotspot....I'm not interested.

Has anyone actually gotten this yet?

I just took the update and here is a screenshot of the Verizon update page.

I got the Verizon S7 update 2APG5 today. Yes, over the air FM radio does work with the app nextradio and the wires of your earbuds or headphones.

Does anyone know if they're on bootloader version 2 or 3?

Got the update and installed earlier today.

This is a big plus!

I've got to ask. Has anyone tried using the root method on this?

Just updated. No FM radio for me. Just an update to the "beaming service".

As a T-Mobile customer, this makes me happy. At least I know we're not permanently banished to version 3 by ourselves, the rest will probably gradually get the same update, wouldn't surprise me if AT&T was also now on 3.

You need the next radio app to use the FM radio, works great
Sent from my SM-G930V using XDA-Developers mobile app

Any good alternatives to next radio w/o root?

Do you keep root and hotspot ability?

I also took the update. I can confirm FM works using the NextRadio app. Also I swear the phone feels snappier! I'm not rooted but have a fun of stuff disabled. Battery life seems the same which for me has been pretty good. Loving this update!

Update to 1.4

Any news about the latest update ? 1.4 ? why is huawei so slow in this direction
I know I should just let this go unanswered but I can't help myself. You talk about Huawei being slow, what other manufacturer has released 1.4? Who do you think develops and distributes Android Wear? Hint... It's not Huawei. And this isn't Android where carriers and OEM's get to put their own personal touches into it. This is pure Google across all watches. And to your question, there are one or two other threads going on this subject. And you'll find in them that nobody knows yet.

I know this is what I find amusing when people complain about no speaker yet.
The speaker is not supported yet because Goggle has not yet updated Android Wear to support the speaker.
Has nothing to do with Huawei.

I'm pretty sure the changelog for AW 1.4 included speaker support. I remember reading about it when Skin updated his root kernel last. i think that the interface of the watch is going to need some updating for sure to add support for calls. that cant come from AW update. that has to come from Huawei update.
Looks like Google is working on Marshmallow for wearable. Crossing finger

Yes update will be release in a few weeks. I'm feeling so bad right now. I just return my watch cause I couldn't wait anymore. I think LG and HTC will show their new watches too in a few weeks. I am just guessing. I will properly buy Hauwei watch again when the new updates arrive.

This is awesome news, thanks for sharing. I still have some problems to understand the concept of SW roll outs for Android Wear though.
Google is directly updating the Android Wear software for the watch often referred as the "6.0 Marshmallow" update. Is this the operating system of the watch? Which part is Huawei updating with their OTA updates then?
If Google states they activate the speaker, does this also mean they will update the simple call notification app we have at the moment to an app where we can actually make calls through the watch or is this something, that Huawei has to provide after the Android Wear update?

Yes this is the software on the actual device itself. The watch will received the OTA ask to download and install. Which is different than the android wear app, on the play store. Two different items, but work together. Clear as mud? lol If you are at all familiar with the Nexus device updates, they usually "stage" the rollouts slowly. Which isn't horrible. It'll hit my device when it does. When I feel a slowdown on the watch, I'll restart it to see if an update is waiting to be downloaded.
As for the speaker, that is the speculation at this point. We'll see how it will work in the coming weeks.

I can confirm that the dual version B360 (and now even B380) is published, so B350 and maybe B370 should be available too.

Yes, this version is valid. My G8 single sim device was updated to B350 in early July. It has several new features compared to B330: Huawei ID (account), Pro camera features among others. This firmware is very stable, though it is still EMUI 4.0.
I have been looking for a downloadable package of the firmware on the internet but no results so far. Only a 438 MB package has available, This package upgrades B330 to B350, I could not find the full package on the internet before.
So thanks for the link!

My G8 runs RIO-L01C432B350 for several months now. Not one problem surfaced. Originally it was an OTA update from B330, but the full package can be downloaded from here.
Has anyone the full package from B370?

Because of the size and build number I thought it was Honor only. I just explored the ZIP and see that Rio is mentioned all over the place. This is the 370 update, just not the full zip.

i never had any notifications issues to begin with. the phone works fine as it is, never had any issues with it and i've always been on stock firmware.
only notifications issues i encountered are that media players (music, play music, tidal) sometimes don't look good on the notification centre, but this is mainly due to the theme i'm on at that moment. also the auto wifi feature is kind of annoying because it always puts up a notification that it has connected to a known network, but that's so minor it does not really count as an issue.
PS: does anybody know how to make the emui launcher have a 5x5 grid? thanks
With long press on the homescreen. On the right side unter the homescreen you see "more settings". When you open it, you must click the first entry.

Edit: Sorry you can only make a 4x4 or a 4x5 grid.

Is MirrorLink (in-car) possible with Galaxy Note 10+ 5G?

I wondered if MirrorLink was possible with the latest Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G?
(This isn't the same as Android Auto which almost every Android device is capable of. MirrorLink is quite an exclusive feature)
The official Mirrorlink website is very slow to update and by the time it does Note 10 will be old news. So I'd like to know if it can do it now? Can anyone confirm if it does or doesn't?
Plus points for those who've actually done it.
Thank you!!

yes ,I have a note 10+ and mirrorlink works fine
I actually use ARU unrooted with it on a Microsoft wireless display adapter(mirrorlink)
Yep. Here's a screenshot from my Note 10+
Hi, I’ve been hunting all over the web hoping to see how I can mirror any app to my cars infotainment screen with a new Note 10+5g from Verizon. I’ve been using the iPhone jailbroken for a few years now so I’m behind on Android compared to back in the day when I was deep into Android adding roms or simply rooting my Android device. If I bought this new Note 10+5g from Verizon, I am hoping to stream a movie app to the car’s screen even while the car is moving for passengers to watch. The car has CarPlay and Android Auto and the screen also has a “projection” icon because it’s a Chevy. I stumbled upon this post and you sound like you know how to do this. Can you verify how I can go forward keeping in mind I will be buying the Verizon variant of the phone? I just need to be certain this is possible or the phone won’t work for my needs. Thanks in advance for any assistance at all. Would be very grateful. Also, just out of curiosity, do you happen to know if the Verizon variant can be rooted? I’ve found no easy answer because you never know if people are talking about the Exynos version in the development posts. Thank you so much for possibly answering.
Solution
Hey folks,
I'm new. Came in via Google for this very problem.
I've read the posts but saw nowhere a solution or remedy.
If there's any info available I just got the Note10+ 5gcand I kept saying to everyone. There's gotta be a way to mirror by now.... Etc etc
Anyhow if anyone could let me know how to do this that would be great.
Thank you,
Muntsy

The kennel is 4.4.192-perf+ #2, built on Fri Nov 15
Battery seems fine to me, similar to Android 9 so far. But it's too early to make any conclusion, we'll have to wait a few days of use to see how it goes.
Edit : one has to enable the new gestures. They fill very natural after a few seconds, and free the space that used to be taken by the navigation bar.

Got the OTA update about two days ago, and it basically killed my WiFi and Bluetooth radios. They work, sort of, but my main router WiFi cannot connect, and Bluetooth audio skips for no real reason. I even did a factory reset to try and correct this with the OTA update file out there, but essentially it didn't fix my issue, and now I'm pretty upset that I did that.
Anyone know how I can downgrade back to Pie so I can at least connect to WiFi and get all my apps back quickly?
Upgraded. No real issues at all. Slightly decreased battery life for first two days then fine. All my hardware and software work 100% no problems.
I connect to multiple Bluetooth device regularly in the car and on bicycle rides. No issues with Garmin. No issues with anything.

Yes, I had an issue with voicemail couple of times. There have been lags too. Bit disappointed. Had similar experience when upgraded to pie from nogut last year on a different device.
