Tidal streaming lossless (Hi-Fi) - Huawei Mate 10 Guides, News, & Discussion

Sorry for my English ! (thanks Google )
I subscribe to the music service of tidal hi-fi version.
However on the huawei mate 10 pro streaming in high definition does not work !
It only works in top quality and low quality !
Am I the only one in this situation ? or at other person it does not work too ?
Do you know where it comes from or what do you do ?
Because, huawei or tidal do nothing.
thank you,

Thank you for your reply !
I'm amazed because it works on the simplest phone, for example samsung galxy A3 !
Do you think they will update or not ?
thank you,

Wow just checked on Mate 10 pro... Same story. Very weird.

Mate 10 doesn't work as well...

kind of sucks a little especially coming from a LG v30!

Mate 10 doesn't work with TIDAL hi-fi
is there any solution for this?

Mate 10 doesn't work with TIDAL hi-fi here too...
How to fix?

I reported this issue to Huawei. You should do the same.
http://consumer.huawei.com/pt/contact-us/

Strange thing is that it works if you download the song first to offline. Then it will play in hifi without issues..

That's right... If I downloaded it first I can hear the song. It's a Mate 10 bug.
I have tried in a Huawei G8 and works correctly.

I post a comment by your link and they answer me in Portuguese
Edit : they said that huawei doesn't guarantee compatibility and we will wait for an update!!

Response from Huawei to my question:
"Thank you for your contact with the Huawei Portugal technical support team, as well as your preference and willingness to make our products. As far as the question is concerned, let us first of all inform you that Huawei does not guarantee 100% compatibility of the equipment itself with third-party applications. In addition, we inform you that the Huawei Mate 10 model has the latest operating system version available, namely Android 8.0 & EMUI 8.0. The incompatibility of the Tidal application with this version of operating system is totally normal, since at the time that its application was developed very likely this version of operating system did not yet exist. Therefore, you should wait for some update by the developers of the Tidal application, so that you can use it in this device."

Yeah sure it's a problem with this "new android"... Strange then that it is no problem on android 8.1 on my nexus 5x ?. Have raised a ticked at Tidal to and got this answer:
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to let us know what you’re experiencing.
Our programming team confirmed with me that this is a known issue that is affecting a number of users, which has placed it at the top of their list to fix.
While I don’t have a timeline as to when a fix will go through, please know that our team is working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
We realize that this is an inconvenience for you, so we thank you for your patience.
In light of this, I have added a credit of 14 days to your account.

like many of you, I reported this to Tidal Dec 20. Still no update unfortunately

Now tidal is working. Not 100% but now I can skip tracks. Sometimes I have to press pause and then play to start the song.

Same here.
As of this date, this is still an issue, at least for me.
Coming from LG G6, I find it very disappointing that Huawei hasn't addressed this issue yet.
I have also submitted a complaint.

I had the same problem on Mate 9 Pro (Android 8). Try running music in 3G mode with Wi-Fi off several times. Change from high quality to hi-fi several times. It started working correctly for me.

[Q] low speaker volume - check a possible cause

Hi All,
I have Samsung Note for a few months an I'm having real problem with the low speaker volume, I tested various solutions but nothing helped.
I want to check if this model has a manufacturing hardware problem. What I'm asking you is to make a small test,
about a minute, on a problem I lately noticed in my phone that the "right speaker" isn't working.
I listened to "happiness is a warm gun", this song is comprised of 4 parts and in the last part I couldn't hear
John Lennon singing but I could hear the other group members making background sounds.
Then it occurred to me that the song was recorded in two channels, John Lennon in one and the others in the second.
I then checked my speaker with the "Stereo Audio Test (Left, Right)" I found on YouTube.
It proved to me that I could here only the left speaker, the right one didn't make any sound.
Since I read so many Samsung Note owners complain about the weak speaker volume, I request you to
check if this happens also on your phone. I want to check if this only happens on my phone or if it's a global
issue and perhaps that is the reason for the low volume problem.
I cannot post outside links yet because I'm a new user, so I ask you to search for the
"Stereo Audio Test (Left, Right)" on YouTube and try your phones.
Please state your model and OS, mine is GT-N7000 and the OS is Android 4.0. I think it is a European version.
Two notes:
1. I tested those audios on Samsung S and they sound fine.
2. My phone is still under warranty, I will eventually give it for repair but I first want to know
if this problem happen to others as well.
thx

hi, I just came back from the store, I gave it for service so I haven't checked the headphones.
The guy at the store first tried to convince me that this is normal and this phone doesn't have
left and right speakers, only single one. I had to show him this audio test on another Samsung device
in order for him to accept it as fault. It's good I had some of you guys to do this test for me so I could be sure
when I was talking to him.
ya.. we seem to know more than them
hi,
I found out what the problems was, it is related to power saving mode.
When the battery goes beyond 30% than only a single speaker is heard.
Samsung confirmed it and said they should fix it in a future version.
If you are below 30% (or whatever value in your settings) but charging
than you will hear both speakers.
Just to let you know guys.

haven't upgraded yet but Did you email the developer? They are pretty quick. Asks If he has a beta Apk. Best music player hands down. Would be a shame if there were issues
I'm a beta tester for it and I did post a comment, haven't heard anything back yet from anyone...I don't have anything out of the ordinary installed that could be causing any issues, I'm about to play around with it a little bit more

yes for days since oreo
go to power amps website forum, and see there are several alpha builds some work some don't.
http://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/11179-poweramp-not-working-on-s8note8-oreo/
im on v3 alpha 703 beta build.
the crazy thing is you need to force stop on app then clear cache on app the close it then open poweramp again. then it works. ONLY UNTIL YOU CLOSE IT DOWN AGAIN. restart device do same steps and it will stay working. THEY ARE WORKING on the soon to be released beta not alpha version.

It's late and my mind isn't working 100%. I also meant to add that is this issue only affecting those using alpha/beta versions of PA on Oreo? I've been using the regular paid version and I'm wondering if I'll start seeing issues when I finally (who knows when) I get my Oreo update on my tmo variant. Also interested in the upgraded BT codecs on Oreo. Never really looked into that.
i am running it on n950f with oreo. it has no issues and working fine on me (i am licenced user). only sometimes, players notification area not responding (and texts all white) but other all functions (player, lockscreen panel, bluetooth metadata streaming to galaxy gear etc..) working well, not any laggs. (not beta or alpha, using official play version)
if you have some issues, clear all application data and reinstall it. the best player in google play..

Glitches on GPU Turbo ??

anyone got blue glitches on pubg after update firmware with gpu turbo?
Thank you. I thought i was the only one! It happened to me after the last pubg update.
I think its a bug from the gpu turbo... Other games are fine such as mobile legends, asphalt 9 etc...
using a p20 pro i also got the same problem.
---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------
my pr20 pro also have the same problem
Have it too!
Do you guys know how to disable GPU Turbo?
Emailed Huawei support and here is their reply
Thank you for reaching Huawei. We are sorry to hear about the issue you are facing, rest assured we will do our best to assist you.
Kindly be advised that since troubleshooting is done, and the issue persist, we would recommend you contact the application developer to investigate and release an update to resolve the issue. Please update your application to the latest version once available.
Sucks... Looks like hey blamin PUBG lol
Update
Enquiry: SR220180918075329914: Regarding your graphics and app display.
Thank you for reaching Huawei. We understand where you are coming from, allow us to explain further.
Since these apps are developed by third party app developers, we cannot guarantee 100% compatibility with the device. Hence, we request to message the app developers in order for them to update their version and to match the phone.
Damn...
Updated, now let's see if it works...
Sent from my HUAWEI ALP-L29 using XDA Labs
Just got the update as well.. Funny how Huawei's email is pointing to PUBGM.
Will try it now
I don't think it's a gpu turbo problem. I was playing just fine before the last update. I reported the issue to them. Maybe you should do the same. Maybe if there are many reports they will do sth to fix the game.
I don't get update from huawei using a p20 pro

I was playing fine after GPU Turbo update and before PUBG Sanhok update, if I'm not mistaken. I tried some Fortnite clone today and it worked fine too. Seems like the problem is with the PUBG itself. I emailed them my screenshots and they replied with some generic stuff about how they were already doing something about that.
Don't know who is really to blame as teams on both ends are obliged to provide normal performance of their software. Also would be nice to disable that GPU Turbo, without bootloader unlock codes I can't even rollback to previous update.
Damn, I just want to play PUBG.
I have no update notification just yet ?... Really wanna play PUBG so damn much!!

Honor Play COR-L29 Widevine L3 after update 9.0

Hi, anyone facing this problem after the update? I'm pretty sure before the update i can play Netflix in HD.
https://imgur.com/a/k8hSV7D
Well on an Honor Play telegram group a member said the same thing I'm afraid .. I'm still on Oreo .. which is scary to know that it could downgrade you widevine security level ! That's definitely odd
Same issue here. Widevine at L3
Can anyone who is still on oreo confirm this ?

For my device, COR-L29, both Android Oreo and Pie have Widevine Level L3.
Looks like all Pie updates downgrades Widevine Level to 3, the Huawei P Smart 2019 has the same problem. The Honor 8X with Oreo has Widevine Level 1. I hope the Honor and Haewei brings out a update soon to get Widevine Level 1 again. Does anybody has information about this?

Well that's obviously an entirely different problem.
I contacted Honor support Europe about Widevine today. The only thing they say is 'keep checking Facebook and Twitter'..........I have the feeling that Widevine Level 1 is not coming for our phone.
yeah. it's L1 in oreo and L3 in Pie. unfortunately
Can also confirm this. L3 on Pie.
Does that mean though, that it's just a software bug and that it can be fixed?
Any hack / patch for this out yet?
Edit: Ok, so some more info regarding the situation after I have talked to the support guy from Netflix.
Apparently the Honor Play is not supported and never has been (according to the support guy), hence why it is not on the list of supported devices.
I asked him, whether there could be devices, that support HD playback but are not on the list, which he denied.
However, my Nokia 7.1 is not on the list and it does support HD playback (there is an HD icon, whereas there is no icon on my Honor Play).
There is, however, one more thing. On the list of supported HD devices, there is this:
Motorola DROID Turbo 2 (XT1585) *HD playback only on Android 6 (Marshmallow)
Out of curiosity I checked the latest firmware for this phone and it is 7.0 . So I guess there have been cases where the HD functionality disappeared after an update.
Maybe some Motorola DROID Turbo 2 owners can confirm?

Updated 2 days ago. Tried to watch Netflix, it has full sound etc but picture is black.... WTF is that about? Someone on reddit said its a problem with the update and YouTube hd videos have sound and no picture either.
Anyone else have this problem? If it is a common problem, then it's a bit of a disaster on their part.

SD : Standard Definition
HD : High Definition
SDR : Standard Dynamic Range

To fix your black screen problem, downgrade your firmware, or use a custom ROM ... or wait for a fix from MIUI.

You got in the phone 2 apps: Services&feedback and Mi comunity.
In the first you describe the issue and it goes to Xiaomi directly.
The second is a big comunity of all devices (forum) and it will go to Xiaomi trough moderators.
I posted feedback in 13 feb and 1 of march, no reply, no nothing.
Really disappointed, why is the feedback app even there if there are no replies 1 month later.

The devices themselves are great, but MIUI is still full of little things here and there that just make you want to replace it. App bugs, that annoying "force close everything constantly on the background" behavior...
This Netflix bug that remains unsolved "forever" now was the last straw that made me just unlock the device and choose LOS instead. Everything is near perfect now.

If you're not that experienced I'm afraid it may be a bit overwhelming to begin with...
Search for these things in order:
1 - unlock your bootloader (search for unlocking bootloader in Xiaomi devices, there's a waiting period after you apply for it)
2 - flash and boot a custom recovery (go to Rom and Recoveries thread category, go to the TWRP thread and check out instructions
3 - LOS = LineageOS (in my case version 17.1, Android 10 based), again, there's a dedicated thread on it, with instructions on how to flash that.
If you manage to get passed all that, there's 2 more things you can do to complete the experience, related to Camera and Google's SafetyNet so you can install Netflix directly from Play Store as normal.
You will loose your warranty and there's always a chance of hiccups along the way so if you're not very comfortable with all this, the only alternative is to wait for the MIUI update that is slowly rolling out to devices.
Ok, probably too complicated for me and I'll probably make a mess of it. Guess I'll have to wait for update. Thanks anyways
