9/28/15 Performance Update build 7SRA- UEA2

Hi everyone! Seems like Alcatel has released yet again, another performance update! This new update, build number 7SRA-UEA2 has the following changes:
General Performance Improvement: Overall software enhancements aimed at improving device responsiveness and overall user experience
IPv6 Support: Device now fully supports the Internet Protocol version to IPv6
Snapchat Performance Fix: Addresses crash issue when using Snapchat app that arose when users would swipe while selecting filters
Facebook Messenger Performance Fix: Users can now share recorded audio files via Facebook Messenger
Camera FV-5 Lite Application Fix: Fix that addresses the rear-facing camera functionality when using the Camera FV-5 Lite application
Also, Band 12 LTE is still enabled after this update. I can also confirm that the filters/crashing issues with Snapchat are indeed solved. Feel free to reply with your own experience below!

It would be nice if TCL would give a release date for an actual Android update.

I just got the update. Scrolling performance seems better and stock camera seems better. Anyone else notice any improvements?

What do you mean by freezing? Did you just install the update? My phone was freezing after the update just finished. It takes awhile for the phone to finish the initial configuration. After about 5mins. My phone started to work again.

Nah, everything is working perfectly

Just got notification of the update. Need to charge my phone before downloading and installing it.
Want to read more reactions to this update also.

It was freezing for me right after the update finished. A few reboots later, it appears to have stabilized. The Recent Apps still has the lag - but other than that it is flying now ! I had to revert the animations to 1x !

Yeah, I noticed the "FlipCover" option also. http://www.alcatelonetouch.us/Aero-ALCATEL-ONETOUCH-5-5-inch-Smartphone/dp/B00ZAR87FI

I already had the Flip Cover option in my 6045Y since I first booted it (10-ish september, I guess?).
However, I can't install the OTA because I'm rooted, is there any system image or ZIP to just flash it? I don't care if I have to format it, I just don't want to unroot it to be able to install it.

It's to your advantage to actually INSTALL the update. Update's make changes to more partitions than just System and Boot which is what the TWRP images restore..they are great for fixing a hosed system partition but if you use them all the time you are going to miss out on newer radio drivers and other changes which may be required for things to work smoothly.
Do a full unroot from within supersu config...reboot...download and install the update...after sucessful reboot you can reflash TWRP(if replaced by factory recovery) and then flash the supersu zip file to re-enable root.

Instagram is still a stuttering mess.
GPS Icon bug and AM/PM lock screen misalignment are still present. Can't believe those two easily fixed things have made it past 3 updates.

GPS Icon issue happens on more devices than just the Idol however there is an xposed module to fix the issue.

This update thoroughly fixed the issues with Snapchat filters - works great now - but the stutters scrolling through Instagram are my one glaring issue with this phone. Also most videos in my Instagram feed won't play immediately and repeatedly flash a "repeat" or "play again" icon while loading the video, only to have most of the videos never actually play. I've never seen this app behavior on other Android phones.
Regarding the lock screen, I could swear they reduced the font size on the clock with this update (or I'm just now noticing the AM/PM misalignment?).
Can anyone confirm if this update fixed the wake-in-pocket issues some people were experiencing? I haven't had enough time to test.

i downloaded the update where is it located? so i can dig it up with es file explorer

Welp, phone unrooted, still can't find any update whatsoever. I'm using a "french" 6045Y BTW.
Any clue here?
PS: Flamewolf, a .zip package can also edit partitions on it's own accord, just because normal CROMS don't do that, it doesn't mean they CAN'T.
For practical example, just check out sdmerge for the E400. Do you think those .zip use magic to add 1 GB to your phone?

Still no update for 1st or second update in Eastern Europe (Croatia/Serbia/Bosnia)

PLK-UL00C675B330 Marshmallow update for Honor (India)

Hi,
I got the a new update today PLK-UL00C675B330 for my honor 7 in India. Not much has changed but many bugs seem to have been quashed and contacts now has a Scan function to create contacts from business cards. Memory management has improved with more free memory now. Battery consumption seems to be at the same level.
Still no Doze settings or Screen Pinning or Scheduled Ultra Power mode

Has the voice wakeup function been sorted out??

Haven't tested it yet

Hi can you please tell whether call recording is working on this marshmallow build specifically if I use boldbeast call recorder. On lollipop it works fine but before I update it's absolutely critical for me to know that call recording works. In case you need, the settings for boldbeast call recorder for honor 7 are here:

If you can try and let me know it would be great help. Thanks!

B370 ist rolling out (OTA)

B370 which should fix "push-problems with no notifications" is rolling out now in Germany.
Its available via HiCare-App, Update-App or this link:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/o...er-das-honor-7-os6-0-emui4-0-b370-ota.779485/
:laugh:

And it really solves the problems??? lol I've downgraded to b180 and I'll wait a little to update again... anyway, thanks for the info! at least something is moving

Does it fingerprint work normally (unlock was slow on B330)?
Does it respond normally (touch response was a bit slow)?
Is border around icons fixed on every theme?
What has been added (except on info), what has been removed and what has been really improved?

all tryes to update my phone working under modaco or yoda rom failed! A try using a rooted ori. backup after unrooting has also failed!
Now i am trying an unrooted ori image of b330. This seems to work. It is a very long process to finish! Now more than 35 min. Hope this will finish successful!

I've read a post saying that whatsapp notification still not working

You cannot update from any custom rom. You need a clean unrooted base rom. So, clean B330 is good choice.
We are waiting for your feedbacks here. I hope you give us good news about all known issues.

Ok, the device is verry hot during a backup! I think, they had boosted up the CPU frequence! Maybee the Governors have changed.

First impressions : the screen touch sensitivity seems slower than in B330.

Have you done factory reset after update? Because B330 had a lot of issues if not reseted.

No I did not. I will make a try.

So, any news? How is it behaving for now?

Battery seems better but have to test it further.
Possible to achieve more free RAM and sometimes it goes until 1.9GB and got 2GB twice .
EMUI 4.0 but lacks guest mode. Apps can be locked by password or fingerprint, though. Seems a better option than hiding apps and widgets.
No fast charge option but charges quickly. Need to measure it.
Whatsapp doesn´t activate LED, but it´s possible to setup screen wakeup.

Does fingerprint unlock works faster as in B180 (it was slower or non-responsive on B330) and do icons have border around?

Speedy as usual with added animation. Animation takes longer than awake and unlock.
Rounded borders, yes. But do you know other available themes? There's plenty, even 3D.

Yes I know, but do other themes have rounded borders? Almost every theme had borders

Use Stockify or Spectrum Pure.

I know about Spectrum Pure, as default and modified from here, but too colorful for me. Stockify seems OK, but if someone recreates regular Bazaar theme icons, that would be great

Got Huawei M3 today something does not like

1. Scrolling speed very slow, need to flick finger very hard to get it fast.
2. UI is phone UI not Tablet UI

If you have LTE, do you know if it can make phone calls? Also, if you are in USA, do you know if you can use T-Mobile as a phone. Also, if anyone may know this answer, please let me know because I want to be able to use it as a phone. Thank you for your help.

I have noticed this as well. It's not that the phone is generally slow, on the contrary, but the slow scrolling of long pages is annoying.
The DPI is 400 for the Display View Mode Setting Small, 440 for Medium and 480 for Large.
What is worse, in Small the Switch Tabs function in Chrome does not work anymore so you cannot switch or close tabs!
I tried changing the DPI with the adb shell wm density command but this has no effect.
Another annoying thing is that I cannot change fonts easily from Display Settings as I could on older Huawei phones. I have to use a Huawei Theme editor to change a theme every time I want to change fonts. This in itself is not a problem but this App shows multiple(!) ads of Mobile Strike when using it, absolutely annoying!
Overall I do like the M3. Battery life seems noticeably better than my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 2016 and that is the main reason I switched. The narrower size also makes it easier to hold than the Samsung.
I have managed to unlock the bootloader but have not found a working root solution yet.

Got mine too, i like it overall, but what was annoyed about soundquality over headphones.
tested it between onplus2,... oneplus headphones quality are way better.
@ Flavio
how do you unlock the bootloader?

Use the Chinese language of the Huawei page to get the unlock code because the Captcha function on the English page does not work. Use the English and Chinese pages next to each other so you know which button to press.
Instead of the adb command you can also use the SRK tool.

Can confirm that scrolling speed is a bit too slow. Hope they fix this via update.
Otherwise I really like the tablet

Problems w. Chrome & YouTube, Call feature not so good
I can confirm the open/switch tabs button in the preinstalled Chrome does not work at all. If I reset the whole tablet it sometimes works, but as soon as I sign-in into one of my Google accounts in chrome the tabs are dead. This is annoying, as soon as you open a new tab there's no way you can get to the old tabs…
AND: The Youtube app crashes as soon as I load the subscriptions tab. Can anybody else confirm? This is annoying too.
AND: The call feature was the main reason I bought this. BUT: You can make calls with it (even GSM and 3g), BUT: It does NOT have a dedicated speaker for your ear. It uses one of the (great!) standard media playing speakers on the side. So everybody around you (even on the quietest setting) can hear what the other person on the call is saying. So you must use a headset…
Any ideas on getting root or solving Chrome/YouTube?

By the way: I just did a small review of the M3 and put it up on YouTube:

Hello,
Unfortunately, I confirm having the same problems.

I can't confirm that. Using Chrome and YouTube without any problems.

I got mine a couple days after the release date in a huawei pro shop in China. It came with Chinese ROM so none of the Google stuff is pre installed. I got my Google play store from their own app store and everything else from play store after that. YouTube and chrome works fine. The overall speed is a bit slower that expected. What bugs me is the wifi connection, seems to be quite slow and unstable. Lte wise seems to be OK overall. Battery life and general speed are way better that my tab s2 8.0 tho. What Roms are you guys running?

I have the B003 ROM, Android 6.0.
I can concur that the speed and battery life are better than on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0.

I just dug out my 2 years old z3 tablet compact since game streaming with moonlight on the m3 is totally unbearable. The z3 did a better job on streaming,general performance wise, I'm surprised how little the difference is between these two tablets since there's a two years gap. The m3 got a much newer processor as well as an extra gb of ram, I think the 2k screen is the one to blame, although I did turn it down to 1080 in settings. Battery life, m3 wins hands down.

I can confirm all of you the long battery life comparing to Tab S2.
to be honest, I don't have the same feeling about this tablet.
I've a good experience with smoothly and general speed but of course depends of what you are looking for, in my case, for work is perfect due to:
1. Phone/MTM function
2. SD Card slot
3. Battery Life
4. Screen inch resolution
5. Light and slim for portability
for gaming I'm going to wait the root if it's possible and why not, I guess and hope in a custom rom that I think it will solve all lags that other users got because from hw specs, it's really good to run all we want to have on this tab.

I don't know if the China versione is compatible with European LTE bands... I think so but I really don't know.
Regarding the screen buttons the answer is no. At least on mine there's no option to hide them.

I've tried the 400dpi setting and can confirm that chrome tab and YouTube issue exist in the Chinese rom as well. Got the latest OTA today and it didn't fix the issue.
Not sure about Europe lte but I guess it will work, there is a option to turn on screen buttons on and off in my ROM, not sure about if it's for Chinese rom only or not.

Solved! Chrome Tab Switching and YouTube Subscriptions work again.
Solution: I had the "view mode" (Settings/Display) set to "small", so I can use as much screen estate as possible. Sadly this makes Chrome and YouTube unusable. Switched this view mode to medium and everything works (after a forced reboot by the settings app).
Strange:
I can not set the dpi via ADB. Via ADB i always get 480 dpi, no matter what setting I have set in view mode. And I can not change this dpi setting, it always stays on 480 dpi. I have the feeling the adb shell command doesn't work or is ignored. This is a bit sad, because I was hoping for the widgets and fonts and interface being as small as possible. But it's still a great device and I am happy.
Now Root is missing. Any ideas?

so want to ask you guys that are u Facing these issues related to software same as me ??
All the apps are not latest updated like dont kno why but all apps are updated but are sometimes missing features like chrome is to latest but same version is on my other op5 and that resulted in a bottom address bar but not in MIA1
when we are in landscape mode many times the headsup and the notification panel is pulled from the top left side (if rotated as power button is facing sky)
In instagram like there is no option for superzoom am on beta also ..i installed app after sharing and then it worked for 5-10 min on app close and destroy it reverted with no superzoom
most of the apps are not to latest version and cant get updates if we check
some small freez sometimes
worst is the google old dialer even the caller photos are not seen
I AM ON LATEST DECEMBER
If you guys have same issues then its ok mi is lacking otherwise tell me the solutions :crying:

1. not aware of any such app
2. didn't notice this, but I'm not using phone in landscape much
3. not using Instagram
4. didn't notice this, all my apps get updated regularly (though I hope you're aware of staged rollout of updates)
5. not a single freeze experienced
6. by default we have AOSP dialer which lacks some features, Oreo should come with standard Google dialer

Yes the bar in landscape goes from top left instead from center. Dialer is pissing me off too, but it just is supposed to call. Didn't notice any freezes though.

Yes and no for all your issues? You're cocky, aren't you?
1. Nothing like that here. Check your internet connectivity.
2. Haven't noticed.
3. I don't use vanity fair related apps. Still, out of curiosity I've checked Instagram and everything works - but I'm using the last stable December update.
4. Again, check your internet connectivity.
5. Haven't noticed any freezes so far.
6. The Google Phone app will be included as part of the Oreo update which is coming soon.
