The honor European team normally does beta testing of new software releases, but I do not know what their plans are for honor 5X. I suggest visiting Hihonor.com and it will redirect you to the page for your region the latest info.

I have the L21 variant and we still haven't got the b140 update.... Are we being left behind? Well we get the update??

Thanks again

Server is busy is what I keep getting

I just left a comment in the thread saying that I will test the beta. We will see if I hear back. Thanks wimbet.

No problems here logging in and left comments. See if they send me the invites.

I filled out the registration form with all info, input the correct captcha (pop up even says it's correct) check the i am ove 13 box and press register and a small red pop-up says system error, then the captcha disappears and resets. Tried it a dozen time with chrome and a few times with MS Edge browser, no go.
Not really a big deal though, already looking at getting a nexus 5x. Love the dual sim of this phone but the UI is crap and the community is small. Looking at other Huawei communities on XDA leads me to believe that it's not going to be much different here. A phone with essentially 1 developer isn't for me. Passing it off to my kids.
On the brightside, the fingerpint scanner on this phone is great and I don't think I can ever buy another phone without one.

I'm not really into the visor look of the 6p. My HTC M9 had plenty of power and was nice but I have grown to love the fingerprint scanner (shouldn't be a surprise though since I owned the Moto Atrix 4g which was the first phone with a fingerprint scanner back in 2011). I actually use my phone for ........... well, phone calls so i'm not always looking for the latest and greatest. I loved my Nexus 4 and the nexus 5 was nice too, so I'm absolutely positive I'll be happy with the nexus 5x.
Actually, pulled the trigger on the Nexus 5x ($50 off for the next week or so) about 10 minutes after the post on here asking me to "try another browser or post a screen shot of the error message" while trying to register. There are dozens of posts on here of people not being able to successfully complete the requirements to receive an unlock code for their bootloader, so the registration issue really shouldn't be a surprise. One thing I know about the Nexus devices is that there will always be developer support and google's websites generally just work.
The Honor 5x is a way better phone than it's $200 price would lead people to believe, I'm just not a fan of EMUI or the slight lag that seems to plague the touch interface (kills glyph hacking in ingress ). Also, I find that CM is great, but it's always been a bit more of a battery hog on the dozen or so devices I've used it on over the years than stock or nearly stock AOSP. It's way too early to make that judgement about CM for the Honor 5x, but it's not too early to see that on XDA the Huawei forums are very limited with little to no development and marginal support from the manufacturer.
Add it all up and the 32gb Nexus 5X at $349 ($50 off) seems like a good deal.

Its certainly great that the Xoom is getting ICS. Kind of wish it was released back in November alongside the Nexus. The Xoom is a Google Experience Device, so I'm wondering why Moto/Goog didn't get this up and running sooner.
Hopefully the 3G/LTE version get the update very soon after!

my guess, to merge in the camera and microphone drivers, the xoom 4.0.3 aosp was released what 2 weeks ago and they are already going to test this in a time where nobody does any work, the team eos rom was awesome and i think we should all be very very excited for our xooms that we paid so dearly for to finally work the way they were intended.
wild guess, 2 to 4 weeks before it's out for the 3g/4g lte xooms or at least i hope!
any update as to wat this is? So we all can return to stock and join if it's ICS

My guess is that if this is indeed ICS, then Motorola will release the much needed drivers for the camera and other things and the devs working on the ICS roms can just incorporate those into their builds and there will be no need for going back to stock.

Plus, be careful that future updates don't somehow lock down the bootloader. Some may not care, but I won't ever willingly go back to stock.

Not for UK users then hmm
So I'm guessing Canadian xoom owners don't get a shot at this? It's odd because our tablets and OS's are pretty much identical. Crazy why Canada gets shutout as it should be North American tablets.

The OS isn't. That's why we got 3.2 ages after the US. Actually, did they ever release 3.2 for the Canadian Xoom? I wouldn't know as I reflashed with the US ROM when I got sick of waiting for 3.1.
The Canadian ROM has some US-only stuff removed such as Amazon MP3, and there were a few other differences too (3.0 had a whole different update checking module for instance).
Right now our best chance is for Team EOS to get their hand on it, be able to lift the missing binaries from it, and get us a 99% working ICS before Moto does (and probably months before Canadian owners gets an official ICS update as well).

Yes, they released 3.2 for the Xoom last month from what I heard.
I returned my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the store yesterday and picked up a Xoom. The performance is much better on the Xoom it looks like. I know the screen isn't as good but the performance seems much better.

[VOLUNTEER NEEDED] Anyone Who Is Buying a Google Experience One

Hey Everyone,
I maintain a website, randomphantasmagoria.com, where I maintain a firmware archive of official production Google ROMs for every Nexus and Google Experience device from the OG Droid onward. I plan to archive the Google Experience One ROMs as well, assuming the ROMs actually come from Google and not from HTC.
If someone is buying one, I'd love if you could help me out with something. I need some information on the phone, and you will need to get it as soon as you turn the phone on for the first time, before doing any out-of-the-box system updates.
Here is the info I'll need:
1. The bootloader version. You will have to reboot into bootloader (fastboot) mode to do this. When you do, the bootloader version should be displayed on screen.
2. The baseband version from Settings | About Phone.
3. The value of ro.build.fingerprint from /system/build.prop.
4. IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE NOTIFICATION: Before applying the update, do the following. Turn on USB debugging after the notification appears on screen. Go into Settings | Developer Options and select "Take Bug Report". Your phone will email a text file to the email address on your Google account. Open that text file and search it for ".zip" (without the quotes) and post the URL to the ZIP file.
This will be unbelievably helpful.
Thank you in advance!

Just a thought. Perhaps this request may be better in the android general section as everybody hear already owns a One so not many will be able to afford to own both.
Also, I suspect that when this device is released, the information you require will be readily available on xda.

When the device is released, based on my past experiences with Nexus devices, it's not a given that the originally shipping firmware info will be available on XDA, unfortunately. The overwhelming majority of people turn their phone on for the first time, see an OTA notification out of the box, and just update it without giving a second thought to the fact that the current firmware info could be useful. haha
But yeah, if nobody indulges me here, I'll probably ask in the Android general section as well.
Isn't HTC archiving the roms themselves? I read that they were going to allow all current Ones to change over to the Google experience edition.

And even if they did, there is no guarantee they'd have the original shipping firmware archived, especially if there's an OTA update out of the box. All I really need is the information in the first post for the shipping firmware. From that point forward, it'll be easy to get all the info for the subsequent updates because XDA will be abuzz with it every time there's an OTA.
I'm looking at getting one, if I can trick the US Play Store to take my Canadian credit card... if so, I can try and get this information for you.
Thanks, man!

B330- final update version in india

this update is 2 steps forward and one step back. Some good features like visitor mode have been removed. It was an amazing feature if you don't want other people to see your sensitive apps or contacts. Call recording has become problematic. Previously, I could record easily using boldbeast call recorder. Now, no more. Settings are much more difficult to find. On the positive side, battery backup has jumped tremendously. Plugged out at 9.40 am today. My phone is still at 75 percent at 6.30 pm with moderate use. There is no doze mode setting but I think they have incorporated some features as I can see that phone goes into sleep when screen is off much more frequently. Also, the awesome themes that lollipop had are no more there. Not even the live wallpapers. Mixed feelings about the update overall. Given an option I would have stuck to lollipop. Almost 8 months late and it still appears as if Huawei just wanted to finish the job and get rid of it.

Is Mate 9 6GB (AL00) now ok in the UK?

Hello
I want the Mate 9 6GB version. I've searched the forums as much as I can understand and found that Wondamobile seems to be the legit place I can buy it from for the UK but there's still stuff I don't get and any help will be appreciated:
1) Will the AL00 international version be in full English, with google play and full UK functionality working on UK SIMS in the UK? (conflicting answers on their website maybe due to different dates)
2) From what I read I understand google play may work but does that also mean will everything else be ok? I mean, is google play just one aspect of it, but the rest may be in chinese (like settings, facebook, email etc). Or if google play works can I be certain that basically it's totally fine and will be a UK phone. I don't want a Chinese phone that just happens to have a UK version of Google Play on it!
3) Can it be rooted?
4) Would I be able to run my own Nova Launcher (pro)?
5) They say they refund any customs - does anyone have experience of this? (I don't see how/why they could)
Thanks in advance even if you can only answer 1 or 2 of the above
As I know, there is only chinese model Mate 9 that has 6 GB RAM. It can be rebranded onto international firmware, so you can use Google Apps same way as you're using international model Mate 9.
Sure, it can be rooted
You can use Nova Launcher (there were some troubles with specific functional, don't know does it hurt you). Search thread in Q&A.

That's very helpful thank you.
Yes wonda have replied to say that it should be fine too.
they also say I'll be able to do updates without losign the google play which is great.
I've the 6gb version. It's AL00 but I've rebranded it to L29c636 in essence the international version. I have no a launcher working perfectly too. All apps work apart from a Barclaycard app. Google integrated so no issues on that front. I bought mine from Gumtree, a chap has his folks send it over and he didn't want it. Paid... £600 for it! It's a brilliant phone.
Ah thats helpful thanks.
Im having second thoughts about the phone now though having seen techzilla's 1 month update review on YouTube. He claims the battery is rubbish and no better than S7, iphone etc.
Are you finding its not much different or does it seem to last more?

Why 6gb ram? Android can't work with more than 4
Mate 9
From what I've read that's contentious. One plus 3T only allow 4GB unless rooted but does huawei do the same?
If so I'll just buy one in the uk
My suggestion is to buy whatever is sold and supported in your region. Unless you realy have a knack for tinkering just get a device from an authorized local retailer and spare yourself the headache of having to deal with customs, rebranding, cross-flashing, etc.
Legal warranty = peace of mind. Just my 2 cents.

Well techzilla is talking out his rear end. I had the S7 edge exynos, got rid of olive after a few days for the Mate 9. The battery life is fantastic. I absolutely love the Mate 9 (6Gb Duane sim b158) and the battery life is why I love it so much. Also, when the time comes the battery is pretty easy to replace...
I'll tell you something, a lot of these review sites talk rubbish and hype. I did my own research, based on videos and then going out and trying. The Mate 9 had the best battery life of any smart phone I've owned. Period.

THanks mate yeah with the replies I'm getting here and his BS comments of getting a whatsapp every 3seconds and an email every 7 seconds etc I'm coming to the conclusion that there's a bit of BS in that review. Not a single person seems to agree with him.
Out of interest - how do you find your 6GB version? Do you find you are going beyond 4GB usage at all? Is it useful for having lots of progs in memory? Or using the camera (I red somewhere high RAM is useful for cam). If you do go beyond 4GB RAM usage are you noticing more battery drain with this?
Sorry for all the Qs but if I'm gonna drop close to £600 on this thing I want to make sure it's worth it!

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:
I just really enjoy reading your threads man!

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

India still waiting for an update . Congratz for your update.
Sad to know we still didnt any update.
Seems like honor usa is ahead of honor india in rolling out ota's.
Happy for you bud.:victory:
Still can't capture the URL to get on Firmware Finder? Not rolled out here yet....
Just checked the System Update app and well, it's there. Pretty sweet, thanks for the heads-up.

Just keep checking your Settings.. and clicking that "System Update" line.. it will be there...
In case any of you that have not received B140 and want to see what its all about.. I've attached a video.
The dude in this video already has the B192 update... which encompasses the AR modes of the B140 update..
Enjoy. :angel:

Just recieved B160 update, includes face unlock.
As to why my phone's not getting any update at all is beyond me. I have BND-L21 model and security patch reads Oct 2017. Ridiculous. Still on B101.
@dart_dev --- B160 update? On an L24 model? I just got the B140 this morning, several days after my wife's phone took it and quite a while after the first post here.
Just got 140 myself.

Not L24, i am using L10.
Hey I got the update to B140 today, but I'm having an issue with the screen going dim when I use chrome browser? I don't have auto brightness on and I've already cleared my cache and factory reset the device. But the issue is still there!
Question..

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?
