Hopefully US gets all this stuff rolled up into the 'alexa update' in march because otherwise... its almost like they forgot they released a US version lol.

I feel the Phone more responsive, the touch screen more sensitive. Notifications still bugged.

It worked, dowloading...

Huawei's update policy is very strange. I'm in China, using the AL00C00B167 version, but Hi Care and System Update both say I'm using the latest version

I checked in HiCare appa and my location says China, I'm still on B167 and whenever I check for updates it says my phone is up to date.

but - changing to "china" will that not badly affect the language of the phone, or is all that "android" controlled ??
I am currently on LON-L29C432B156
will I benefit from updating through china ??
will I get Nougat 7.1 `???
Also, when I change to China - I receive a message saying: please log in using credentials used for registration in china.

Place two fingers on the screen, drag up or down to change the view. Test it with a city like NYC. The version of Maps with 3D is ver. 5.0.

EMUI 5 drains my battery quicker

Ever since I upgrade from EMUI 4 to EMUI 5 the battery life sucks ... 4 was way much better . Personally, if I knew what I know now about this phone I would of never bought it . I don't believe I will ever again own anything from Huawei simply because of there lack in support
Where are you from? I am in india on FRD-L022c675b310 and experiencing the same. Honor customer care told me go to a service centre which I know is of no use. I even did a reset and the result is not much better. It sucks 3-4% per hour even when not in use.
The bloody update is not letting the system go into deep sleep. Chk the screenshot. The core with 1018 mhz is never going to sleep at all.
Honor has really done a blunder here and they are not ready to accept or rectify it in india atleast.

You guys that are having battery issues.
Factory reset your phone's and give it 5/6 days for the phone to Learn your usage habits.
My battery was not good when I first updated my phone but now I'm getting a good day with 30%-40% left.
I think that's plenty good enough.
How much better are you wanting ??

I really do think that I'm right on this one
I have never had a smart phone that runs so many apps last as long as the battery does on this one.
I do know that a factory reset really helps and that the phone need time for
1: the phone to learn your usage habits.
2: for the ROM to settle.
We do need to be patient and not keep trying to update via FF it the Charles method.
Where is this firmware finder located on the phone setting ? Or is it an app you downloaded, thx

It is in English. Because most of the catalog is in chinese, that is why it feels the app is hard-coded in Chinese language.
Edit:
The app is great. However, the reason you got the update is because it is available for your region only. Same goes for the Online service which you should be able to access but we can't.

It could be due to any background running apps or less internal memory too.
Try shutting down your phone and do a cold boot and see if it helps. Otherwise let's just wait till the Oreo update rolls out and fixes everything.

You can uninstall most of app from flyme from settings. Some of them that we can count in fingers can be moved to a folder and never open it in future. Or else you can unistall those apps with root.

What did you do? Because, if you root the phone, you lose OTA updates, if you choose to put those remaining apps in a folder, can we freeze/stop them so they cannot work in background without using an app?
