L24 B140 update - Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion

Anyone else get a software update today? I just got my phone in the mail and was surprised it updated. Any one know where I could find the change log?

I haven't received anything yet. I'm still on B130.

Does this contain the android update to marshmallow or is this an emui update to 4.0?

This is just a maintenance release. It includes an update to the monthly Android security patch level. Android M is coming in a future update.

I was working on the review of the device and now I have to wait till my device gets the update
will it fix the lag issues ?

I have had no lag issues with the device so far. Been using it all night. Only ever used it with B140

No real lag issues here either, but I don't use my phone as a PC. Hell I'm even running smart mode and no issues.

Has anyone tried to pull the update file so that it can be uploaded to XDA?

Same here, no lag issues at all. As soon as I got the phone I did eliminate animations and set power saving to normal. No lag and battery life is excellent. My old HTC One + needed 2 full charges to get through the day. On this I get a full two days.
I have a 0.5 amp desktop USB - I know almost useless, it came with my bluetooth headset. I am too lazy to crawl under the desk and replace it. A few hours during the day and the Honor is topped up. I don't charge at night anymore. Nor forget to charge at night.

Can you post a TWRP recovery of the update?

Not even when using chrome? that's where i see lag on mine

So has anyone other than the OP received the update?
Slowest rollout ever.
@wimbet any idea why this is taking so long?

Still on B130 here.

I'd love to get something to flash in bootloader

Bummer this update didn't fix your downloaded apps icons. Still don't reflect how they're shown in the theme preview. Maybe next update!

5.0.1 OTA is here

Downloading now on sprint.
Update. Unfortunately the update did not resolve the duplicate SMS issue. On LTE, people are still receiving multiple copies of the same message.
Att nexus as well. No carrier interference. Yay.
AT&T just got the update as well
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Also got the notification on GPS Nexus 6.
Can anyone provide steps on how to update and disable encryption?
Can confirm on T-Moble as well. Although I didn't grab a screen, it just hit mine.
Sweet. I was reading that the OTA will roll out on the 15th. But today works better LOL.
Is anyone noticing any add-ons? My recipients are no longer getting duplicate messages.
Also got it just fine on o2 in the UK
I got it and it said downloaded but nothing happened. Didn't restart or anything.

So glad I came back to a nexus device! Wooo. Had enough of carrier interference and manufacturers taking their jolly ol' time. Oh not to mention, Locked bootloaders. Can not wait to get home from work and flash this. Hopefully some improvements to be had with the update.
I am still not sure how people are cranking 6+ hrs SOT. The best I have been able to do is just a bit more than 4 hrs.

Your device won't take the OTA if you have root. You can't even sideload it. You have to flash the factory image if you want to update.

Just got official update to 5.1.1 for N900T (DOK2)

So, I got a small update just now for my N900T. The changelog says OS 5.1.1.
I'm installing now. Will update when it's finished.
Edit: Added screenshot.
Build number is N910TUVU2DOK2
I have a update downloading as well, lets see how this goes. You meant to type N910T I presume?

Yes, I know the N910T3 has had 5.1.1 for a while, but no, this is for the N910T.
Unfortunately I am not rooted, so I can't provide any firmware dump or anything else that would be of help to devs.

When the install finished downloading, it asked me to confirm the install. That's when it showed the changelog. I should have taken a screenshot of it. Probably had good info. Oh well, too late for that now.

Haven't played with it enough yet. Time for bed. Have to go to work in a few hours. But the install went smoothly, and the first boot was fine.
Let's hope it stays that way.

Thanks. Security update. Yaaaaaaay!
As for rooting, I'm sure the usual suspects from XDA will be on it in no time. They'll probably have root before I get home from work.

I hope this leads to a fix for the finger print bug in ROMs. This is my first device that has a finger print scanner and I don't like giving out passwords lol.
Just got the update as well on a non-rooted N910T.
Really hoping for some improvements in speed.
Finally. I've noticed better reception so far. I'm at the Dr's office which I never get signal in the waiting room but I got 2 bars. Hopefully it fixed reception that 5.0.1 messed up for me

And so many wonder why the general public bemoans updates. Not that I used it much but it was nice to have if it is in fact gone. I hope they didn't change much else.
The real update I see is that the Stagefright exploit is fully patched.
Most of you on this thread might not care but if you install this update, there's no going back to KK or Lollipop.

Anyone Having Trouble Using Textra on Their New Phone?

Nothing happens when I tap the send button. Anyone else having similar issues?
Yes, I am experiencing the same issue. A temporary workaround until a fix is produced is to enable "Send using Enter" in the settings.
Same here. I thought it was only me
Me too, I am back on the stock client for now. From what I can tell Textra needs to adjust touch placement for the notification bar. I was going to send them an email since they have been super responsive in the past... then I thought they probably hate me right now. lol
I noticed that you basically have to tap a CM(1/4") or two under what you actually want to touch. I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon once the device is in more users hands.
Ditto...also can't swipe to delete unless I increase the font size to 150% (Settings - Customize Look)
Experiencing this as well!

I emailed Textra support this evening. They got back to me and said they're aware of the issue and a fix should be live soon.

Understood, adb hasn't always been my friend either and definitely had some trouble with getting this one connected as well. Hopefully Textra will come out with an official update shortly. They are usually pretty good in that regard.

I couldn't stand using the Google messenger app anymore... so I spent a lot longer than I should have doing the ADB commands... I had to use an older version of the Android SDK install I had on one of my computers...lol
It works and yeay... still sad I had to do it. lol
Still can't get the app to work. Super frustrating.
Textra is working fine for me after the new update that essential released.

You really don't have to mess with SDK installs and all that. Just download load minimal ADB and fastboot. It's super nice for stuff like this.

Hot Diggity! Honor Sent Me A Software Update!

Bout Time Something Came Through...
I know... Everyone else on the Planet most likely already has the B140 Software update...
But at least I know I'm on the list! even if it is last..
Wonder what happened to B192 for the BND - L24 ?
If anyone that reads this can chime in.. was it a prerequisite that the 7x received B140 before B192 ? and does anyone that has a BND - L24 received B192 yet?
I'm still waiting on my update ?

Mr Moss.. There Is No Rhyme Or Reasoning To This Rollout...
You just look up one day and it's there...
But what is B140 ?... nothing more than AR.. and unless you are a selfie freak the novelty last about 2 seconds.
Facical Unlock (B192) is what should have been released instead of this.. The 1st market received B192 the last week of January.
At Least I've got the February Security Patch.. believe it or not, I was still on the December 1 Security Patch... :angel:

Mr. Ambassador.. Thank You.
Kind words indeed... I just offer my insight as I see it with the Honor 7x.
All of us have invested our hard earned dollars into this device.
And it's a GREAT device.. just standing on it's own merits.
EMUI has matured.. And, because Huawei / Honor controls their overlay AND the SoC.. it's a smooth running machine.
The Software is PACKED with useful features from tempeture adjustments to themes, dpi and much more.
This is the 1st device I've owned where I can honestly say, *Rooting is an OPTION.. Not A Requirement*
Some people have accused me of starting a rebellion.. telling others not to root their devices..
OWNER'S CHOICE.
My words are not so powerful that when "Raiderwill Almighty" speaks you have to listen.
It's just MY point of view.
I'm glad you enjoy reading more than One Side of the Story... :good:

I completely agree to the point that Honor made "Rooting, an Option but not a requirement" with their emui .I bought this device with a few doubts as I tried custom ui like Miui and vibeui before and not really liked them .But I have no regrets for buying this device and I totally love emui now

Hello.. I'm Assuming, You Did Not Have This Issue Prior To Receiving The B140 Update ?
Since you've Factory Reset your device might I suggest you go into Setting > Display > Sleep and set it to 10 minutes.. and see if that fixes your issue with Chrome... Only Chrome huh ?

This is an EMUI bug and has shown up in devices like the Honor 8, P10, Mate 9, etc.
When a few people were reporting this issue on the Honor 8 I didn't face it so I'm assuming it affects only a small number of people.
This showed up immediately after the update right?

There is a way to force it if you have root but according to the article your mileage may vary, You can find the instructions for what you need to do here https://www.xda-developers.com/try-android-messges-for-web-now/

Guys this is a staged rollout even once you have the update until google turns on the feature server side for you you don't get it. So chill and relax it will eventually work.
its here, i have it right now, w/o the hack
I got the notification today. Running beta 2 on Android p
