I've had a P7Pro for just over 2 years, running Graphene. I like the degoogleification of it but there a few things that never worked quite right and I am wondering if these might be improved in the 9 series implementation. I am reluctantly upgrading to the 9 well before I would like to because I've dropped it a few times causing a black spot bleeding outwards from the front camera, bright lines top to bottom on the RHS, and the rear camera has stopped working altogether.
The issues I found were...
- NFC never worked properly not allowing me to add cards and make purchases, even after changing server settings
- I could never receive payments with my bank's merchant app. I'm told it's to do with the attestation. I did find and alter some settings here, but could not quite get it working
- Google Maps wouldn't lock to GPS until I changed the server settings, but still takes a while to lock
- I frequently lose Data connection on both SIMS at the same time, or at least overlapping for a time. SIMs are with different providers, so I summise it has to be a phone issue. Sometimes toggling Airplane mode, or mobile data fixes it but mostly only momentarily.
With my lack of understanding, is it possible these issues have been resolved on the 9, or if they are fixed on 1, they are fixed on all, and therefore - or not at all?
Or have I missed some settings or adjustments that could fix all this?
