Yet another huawei phone that im sure will never get the next Android update
and support will be non-existent after a couple of months of sales
From engadget...
Huawei's four-inch flagship has appeared at a rigorous FCC screening, and this one comes with several radio band changes since its formal reveal. This new CDMA 800/1700(AWS)/1900 variant, making it through the Commission as the M886, indicates the Honor will be making a showing in the US on Cricket as the Huawei Glory. You can expect to see the Gingerbread-running device come with a 4-inch FWVGA (854 x 480) screen, a 1.4GHz single-core CPU, 512MB of RAM, a sizable 1,900mAh battery, an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel front-facing cam.
After having such a long time with a U8800 and no offical updates to 2.3 but continued promises from non-existant huawei tech support, upgrading to the new Samsung Nexus/Galaxy Prime as soon as its out as the specs for it just kick ass on anything else out there,
At least the Samsung will come with the latest OS and im sure the updates will be much quicker than anything huawaitforanupdate... could ever come up with
You bet Samsung or any other manufacturer will provide updates. Just changed to HTC Inc S and received 2 OTA updates in the last few days. Next to come is Sense 3.0

and probably one of them is to deal with the news-mentioned bug in HTC's own software when collecting user's information and storing them non-securely..

I've heard about that, but at least HTC cares about that and what users think... God knows what happens on the Huawei phones...
that makes me think of the linux-windows analogue..
with linux (huawei?) u r on ur own.. u can make the best of it, and u can also live in hell with it..
with windows (htc? samsung? etc?) u r well taken care of, and can live happily ever and after..
[edit]
btw, did u realise that by buying a htc or samsung phone, u r also contributing to the m$ empire's wealth and health?
anyway, not that many ppl care about that i guess..

I think they promised ICS for Honor (probably like 2.3 was promised for Ideos X5)
Anyone betting on it?
Somewhere was said that Huawei's main focus is on ICS and if they have time they'll do a 2.3 upgrade. Not sure if its true though.

Sure the U8860 Honor will get the update... but the M886 Mercury in America probably wont. Same phone just a cruddier FFC and its CDMA not GSM. Cricket is a "unlimited everything for one low rate" provider and I doubt will care to update it's customers. But you get what you pay for... a $250 phone with service for $55 a month.
I'm buying the phone today and I will go on a killing spree if it breaks with in the first few months. By then I'm sure they will have lowered the price though :-/
I read somewhere that google's force company's to have last android updates on recent models. that means even x5 have to be updated to ICS because its an 2008+ model. and so on.
I don't know much about this, I tried to search for anything about that quickly and came up dry. Recent models will be updated I'm sure, but if your phone is a year old then too bad.
Also, On Google's site it says that old Android versions can be shipped on any device, since it's open srouce, but can not carry the name Android and will not be part of the Market ecosystem.
Baiscally, I think its up to the manufacturer if they want to spend the time to get the new OS updates to work with a phone even though Google tries to make it easy. Low-end models will suffer and get lost in the dust.
Now about carriers pushing updates OTA... I think that will only last about a year to 18 months. Why give you the latest OS when you can come back and spend more on a new phone?
Food for thought: A year ago I bought the Samsung Galaxy-S from T-Mobile, it didn't have the latest Android version. T-Mobile said they weren't planning on pushing the update OTA when it came out. Instead said to use Samsung's Kies which failed miserably. At the time I wasn't the only one who had trouble with the software. So I loaded up a custom ROM with a newer Android OS and a sleek dark look.
Looks like a cool phone. Happy with the x5 for now though.
Guess the moral is you get what you pay for really. Huawei package good hardware into a reasonably nice phone and they sell it cheap, why do we expect updates to next version of Android? You pay an extra couple of hundy for a sammy or htc with the same specs, you can start to expect updates. Buy an Iphone and it is a part of the deal for a generation or 2.
It is the biggest problem with android that there is no central control. Google makes a new version, phone manufacturer has to update everything to support it, carrier has to decide to push it and then customise it and then you have to update it using any of a bunch of methods. It is too messy and nobody has control to make sure phones are good and functional before being shipped out the door.
Also ICS has bumped up the minimum specs so everything down in spec from a nexus s should not expect ICS any time soon if ever.
I love xda for making cheap phones completely usable and awesome with custom firmwares and great devs.
Currently from Huawei official BBS there is no plan to release ICS version to X5. The new model Honor already have the ICS pilot version.

So if the Honor has it, the Mercury should too. Only difference is CDMA and FFC....

the above about min requirements is far from true.. If you have a phone that will run 2.2 or above it WILL RUN ICS Better. The biggest improvements in ics is in how it handles memory and cpu cycles.It all uses a whole new ui called render script. that threads the ui thru the gpu Hardware rendering. This makes ics run even better on older hardware.
This is all over the net check it out. and YOUTUBE as well..
I to am wondering about ICS ON The mercury. Unless we can gind a very good DEV that can port the u8860 rom to the M886 . from gsm to cdma .
Anyway just my opinion. I went from honeycomb to ics on my icionia a500 and its like a new device

Phone looking great, but after many problems in the past with x5, i will never buy huawei again.
Does anyone here own the Huawei Honor? I plan to buy this phone. What are your impressions with it?
---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------
By the way, what are the differences between Ideos X6 and Honor?
I got the Honor 10 days ago !
For what it is, this phone is great, getting it was a very last minute decision (duty free shop in the Airport), but I'm happy I did.
I was able very easily to put ICS on it and it runs great every thing is better about the phone (except for the camera which is horrible), the ICS room is from HUAWEI and its called Cambodia Demo but it works great including Google play.
I heard they was updating 07/13/12

For those thinking in buy Huawei, make your savings and buy some other brand.
Huawei = ZERO client support updates that makes the phones even worst, so you will be on your hands.
agree with last user.
huawei makes good specs for money... but has the worst development and costumer care I know...
I probably wont buy this brand again, my good impression from x5 capacities exist thanks to DZO, nothing more !

Here's the same thing that I posted on the Android hacking general:
The Meizu MX is a nice little device, but the only good stuff it's got going for it is a beta Vanilla ICS release and Root. I suppose I should count my blessings, as not all android devices are lucky enough to even have root...
The device comes in three flavors, one has an Exynos 4 Dual 4210 (45nm) 1600mah battery 16gb, another has an Exynos 4 Dual 4212 (32nm) 1700mah battery 16gb, and the last one has an Exynos 4 Quad 4412 (32nm) 1700mah battery 32 & 64gb.
Meizu has apparently released the kernel source code for all three devices, as can be seen here.
Furthermore, there's an aosp Vanilla ICS build that meizu released some months ago. Link.
If you just want to see the zimage, here's it.
Another big deal is getting a custom recovery up and running, so here's what I think is the recovery rom. Link
Also, Ramdisk. Link
If I'm missing something, the entire rom package is there at the top. Also, I know I'm a noob to all this, no need to point it out please.
Thanks in advance to all of you!!!
I share your opinion. Need to look into it further but I think this needs the attention of Adam.

Well this device was only just added to the XDA forums, so I'm presuming its a very new device. Give it a couple of months and more people will have bought it and be developing it.

Ok,
I am planning to get a S5 prime.It is a monster,I really want it.(No I don't have the money to get an NOTE 4 and it is very big) ok anyways.Is it actually a good idea? I mean I really very happy with all the reviews it has but I am only upset that I doesn't have and Coustom ROMS(Only 1) so if in future it doesn't get updated by Samsung I won't have any option to upgrade it.I really want to know, Is anybody developing any roms or Will XDA have a sub category for it?
So you are buying a phone based on what XDA might be doing? LOL dude, just get a phone that does what you need, or get a Nexus if you want to mod like crazy.

By prime do you mean the Korean model or the in between which has the 805 CPU but 1080p screen? (901 I think)
Korean model doesn't have much development, but there is some hope. Check the last two pages of the topic - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/sm-g906s-k-l-owner-thread-t2807639
Hardware wise it's a great phone which was the best of 2014, and will still hold it's own in 2015 with 3GB of ram and quad-hd.

If you want a slightly more powerful device, get it. Otherwise if you want more dev support, get the SM-G900F
906s is the most powerful. But little to no dev support. And still waiting for lollipop to hit.

take 901F, 900F is stopped in all europe, so necessarry dvp will be big on 901F, and 901F is faster than 906.
Yes, it's true and I think it deserves its own thread.
Yesterday in one of the threads our XDA members started to discuss the possibility of a few htc one m9s having the version 2 of the snapdragons current flagship system-on-chip and it turned out that we do actually have two separate versions of snapdragon 810 on our m9s and we HTC haven't mentioned this anywhere.
They did lie when they told us that all the HTC One m9s have Gorilla Glass 4 but it turned out only few units had Gorilla Glass 4 while others had Gorilla Glass 3.
They lied again with the HTC One a9 and they said it has Gorilla Glass 4 while all of the units had Gorilla Glass 3, it seems like to have a history of serial lying.
I will surfing anandtech and I came across a very interesting point.
"Meanwhile there were rumors floating around of a new revision due to show up in the summer, and it appears that this is the rumored revision. This leads me to question whether it made sense to release devices with the v2 revision, especially if future revisions would have resolved some notable issues and dramatically improved SoC performance. I also question whether OEMs would silently introduce these SoCs into later production runs of products that first shipped with v2, which is yet another can of worms."
I would be pissed if I had 810 v2.0.
Here is how you check yours.
Download Antutu 6.
Go to "info" and look at the display stats. It would tell you your GPU frequency which would be either 630 or 600 for v2.1 and v2.0 respectively.

I don't understand how you can say "HTC lied to us" when they never formally said the m9 would ship with a specific version of the 810 chipset. All they said was that the m9 uses a snapdragon m9 in its hardware. Even if they did later user revision 2.1 they never lied about using the 810 in their phones.
Also about the gorilla glass, unless you can prove that an m9 or a9 had a different version of gorilla glass then listed, i would take your accusation with a grain of salt. You must have proof (which would be hard to prove, drop tests won't work as either version can shatter) so unless you can show us a m9 or a9 oem screen with gg3 you point is invalid

I said they've lied to us with their gg claims, which is true. The official gg site says a9 has gg 3 while they told us it has gg 4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-a9/general/a9-gorilla-glass-3-4-t3257199
They said mentioned that m9 has gg4 but didn't tell us that most of the units have gg3. I take it as misleading your customers.
http://www.nextpowerup.com/news/208...have-gorilla-glass-3-and-not-gorilla-glass-4/
With regards to sd810. They have also claimed that htc one m9 uses v2.1. But many people have confirmed they have v2.0 on their phones. You can check if your GPU frequency is 600 or 630mhz(v2 & v2.1 respectively).
Well....
My CPU is 630....got this phone unlocked from Europe...so maybe I have gg4 as well ??
No way to tell on glass I suppose....g
If your phone S-off, in download mode/info you will see rev of CPU. I and my mom have two M9 with rev 2.1

You can see revision via this shell command
Code:

Mine shows 2.1
I have rev 2.1 and 630mhz gpu
anyway, htc had lot of troubles because of this cpu, I think it ruined this flagship which is definitely not bad as everyone thinks.
seriously anyone who I tell I have m9 instantly gives me jokes like "ah and does it fry eggs?" "do you keep your hands warm with it?"
my answers are always "no you are wrong as everyone. this is not as hot as you read everywhere" but bad advertise is made, and I think that some misunderstanding could have been made because of very difficult position of htc on this phone. for me the phone is ok. also glass is perfect, whatever version it is (and I never read about m9 having gg4, always known about 3)
If I remember correctly - we all got 2.0 at least with a firmware update...

Antutu 6 does tell you the CPU rev as well.
Every M9 with firmware 1.32.x uses SD810 v2 and during the 2.x update it gets upgraded to v2.1. The two versions don't differ in their hardware but they use different drivers. If you don't believe what I say then get S-OFF, downgrade to the oldest firmware for your SKU and look at the System Info menu in Download Mode. Afterwards update to the latest firmware and look at the System Info, again.

This is most weird in my case... Antitumor says gpu 180-630 my, while cpu says [email protected] 600mhz. I however don't have root to check the revision in sys.
And to be honest, the phone gets really warm and has rather bad battery life in my opinion (at least compared to my LG g2 for instance). Btw htc stated in July explicitly that, all of the m9 use v2. 1, which I honestly doubt is the case. Probably the first batches are v2. 0... Bad luck for me cuz I bought a used one (rather cheap), that was bought in April...

It's true. This revision is SW only. It was confirmed by tests long time ago.
I have no idea why OP is seeking for conspiracy theories.
Case is straight. CPU is firmware controled. Firmware is upgrading along with HTC sw updates. There is no HW diffrences for cpu rev.

Maybe CID based firmware differences? Another factory? Diferent PCB revision or related to other display panel.
guys, as far as I remember qualcomm itself said that 810 problems would have been solved in 6 months after m9 came out....I always knew that it was going to be solved via sw update...keep calm, htc for me is one of the most trustable companies out there...

European versions are still lucky compared to us who have the hk version... We are one of the last if not the last to receive the 5.1update... So I don't expect to receive the 6.0update till midyear2016... =)

Thanks to HTC's hard work, we've finally receive the long awaited Marshmallow updates. With that said, there's another question that is left unanswered. Will HTC continue to support this device with the new Android, the Nougat 7.0?
Nope. This is a worst phone from HTC I've ever had
No... The update was supposed to come in Q1 as stated by an offical HTC employee, so if that is the case then it will be cutting it pretty close. So much for the "90-day update promise"
You can check this link to see if the update sources have been released for the M9+:

It is frustrating not to have the 6 update yet, but ultimately there isn't that much you are missing out on. Plus, I value the fingerprint button, so I definitely don't wish I had the M9.

I love this phone too, even though the fingerprint button seems to fail sometimes forcing me to use PIN (dunno why)... anyway I haven't seen any lag so far and I am definetelly happy with the performance... So maybe I'll have to wait a bit longer for the M update, but that's just something that happens and does not mean this phone is a piece of crap at all...

Hopefully. This is very amazing phone and the fingerprint is awesome, with M it will be better for all the additional functions. Hopefully the upgrade will be released soon. I remember that one important developer published a roadmap foe the upgrade and for my one was the Q1 2016. I am a bit disappointed for this because some old phone already got it, but I live HTC because the smartphone are the best one.

Don't hold your breathe, MTK is notorious about bad update support, even HTC can change little about this. I'd be surprised if it happens in April

Yup... Second that.
But.....
I would look forward to receiving the update very soon.
I recalled the device, ONE X9, got the android M with MTK chip(MT6795T) same as M9+.
Stay tuned.....
They are focusing on the most sold devise now . M8 & M9 ( M9 the one I trade it for the plus . )
Hope we'll receive the update before the launch of the #powered10 , otherwise sense 8 should be considered
Hi there!
I'm actually thinking to buy an M9 plus supreme camera edition and I was just searching about the Android 6.0 update...I hope this is just a delay and that the updated with eventually comes out. By the way I have 3 questions about this phone and I'm sorry if I'm out of topic but I think that I can find some users here better than open a new thread.
1) I'm in Italy and here this phone is imported, not officialy sold by HTC so what about warranty? I can manage to buy one a used one from a guy but then I'll be totaly uncovered?
2) Standard M9 has Qualcomm 810 which get hot but should performs well, this M9 plus supreme camera has a mediatek Helio x10, how does it perform? I want HTC also because software responsiveness is one of the best on android phones.
3) My operator carrier operates on 4G with these frequences: 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz while the HTC one M9 plus supreme camera supports
FDD-LTE：B1 (2100MHz)/ B3 (1800MHz)/ B5 (850MHz)/ B7 (2600MHz)/ B8 (900MHz)/ B28 (700MHz)
TD-LTE：B38 (2600MHz)/ B39 (1900MHz)/ B40 (2300MHz)/ B41 (2600MHz)
So basycally it miss the 800 Mhz would that be a problem?
battery performance is very bad... we want 6.0...
Just bought today an HTC One M9 plus supreme camera edition and as for this very start moments I do like it, it seems very very fast. It's running android 5.0.2, I don't know if it's the last version avaible for this phone. I suggest that we start asking HTC directly when 6.0 update will comes out!!
