B330- final update version in india - Honor 7 General

Those who've upgraded to the final version please do share your views on the performance and other stuff you all have been experiencing. I got the upgrade option yesterday night but I am still confused as I've come across people complaining about lots of bugs even with the final version after upgrade.

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.

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

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 have the exact same problem. The "hint" makes no sense... Can't login with your email, and you can't register your email on the registration screen because it's already taken by you... argh!

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.

Will Huawei send nougat OTA or do I have to download it?

I'm not seeing any traditional update software options in the about phone section. How will we receive Android OS updates on this tablet? Thanks.
Well it seems in the moment there just are no updates...
Normally you should get your update via ota (you should see an update option in your "main menu"), except for beta/leaked versions, if they should leak anyhow/anytime...
For now, there are no leaked or official updates for our mediapad m3 :-/

If you Google nougat for Huawei mediapad M3 there are several sites that claim they have the download you can Flash
The only thing in the about phone setting I can find about updates is updating the emui
As I know the update emui menu will also update your android (for example to android 7 + emui 5.0).
I know these sites, but as long as I do not see a link hier on xda, on the huawei news pages or on the huawei homepage itself I think these links are just nonsense.
(For example some of these pages just link every phone available and say "download XXXXX android 7 here"... I would not try to install these... But I also suppose you won't get a real package anyway there.)

Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.
Huawei generally doesn't give a fu** about software updates. My Mediapad X2 GEM 701 never received an update. That's why I had to undergo a hugely complex updating procedure with chinese ROMs modified sh1t.
I just got the new update with October patch. They removed the navigation bar too.
How did you get this patch for your m3? Mine can not find any updates...
Chinese version only perhaps?

Correct,also it said better chrome operation,so maybe people that had problems running chrome in small format ,now can. I always had mine set in medium text and didn't have a problem. There were other things it said ,basic improvements,etc... I can't really notice any change other than the ability to disable the new buttons. Which like I said ,disables the ability to start split screen. Unless someone can tell me how to do NB it with only the fingerprint scanner......I'm also running Nova free launcher.
Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Haha haha,
Yes in a very good way. It's heavier than the z3 compact,and no water resistance,but it's smooth ,fast,and the LTE connectivity is incredible. I always have 5 bars of 4g. Now ,I live in Thailand,and the internet is crap here compared to the USA,so in the states it's probably even better. It was half the cost of a normal flag ship phone too,and it's basically a huge phone. It comes with a screen protector and a case,however the case is Carmel color and hard to look at,but it's growing on me. This tablet charges very fast too.
If your on the fence,buy it for sure.

As far as I read not all CPUs are conform with Android 7.0. The M2 has one of them. The CPU of the M3 is conform so i hope we will see the update soon.

Where's our Nougat update ZTE??

Update 6/21/2017: OTA update to Android 7.1.1 is out, and I received the OTA and installed it around 10 pm CST. Working great so far!! I like to think that my writing this post here on XDA finally caught the attention of ZTE, so they decided to get the update out ASAP lol. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Getting a Nougat update for the Axon 7 mini seems to be too much of a challenge for ZTE. As most of you know, ZTE has been running a closed Beta test of Android Nougat for our device. Three months is a pretty long Beta test, and it seems to me that ZTE may be experiencing some problems. I am not part of the Beta, I was in the hospital and didn't find out about it until sign ups were over. Is there anyone who's running the Beta right now that could give us an update? Feel free to PM me, and I can pass any updated info along to those of us not in the Beta, as I don't want anyone who does pass the info along to get in trouble for violating an NDA. Thanks!

I messaged ZTE on twitter about a week ago asking if they plan on releasing nougat or if not to unlock the bootloader if they planned on no longer supporting the device and this is the reply I got.
The Axon 7 Mini is still supported, and we've confirmed than an update will be released soon. We appreciate your continued patience. At this time, we are unable to provide assistance to unlock the bootloader of this device.

I have received information about the beta via a couple of PM's from active beta testers. Looks like they are currently testing 7.1.1 with the June security patch. The software is said to be running good, but has a couple unspecified bugs that need to be corrected. All sources indicate that the update should be releasing very soon, but no confirmed release date yet. I wi6add further information as I receive it.

That's just weird. According to the beta testers, that build was sent to them shortly after the beta began, and still has some software bugs. I would have thought that ZTE would at least have one more update to the firmware prior to launch.
I guess we'll see if ZTE just ignored the bugs to get the update out. Apparently the OTA is supposed to be available, but I'm not seeing it yet (Missouri). Anyone here in the US been able to update yet?

I am downloading the 7.1.1 update now! I have the Axon 7 Mini on T-Mobile in the US. I will post more info as soon as it finishes. Very excited to see it says it adds T-Mo Wi-Fi calling support.
I got the update last night but this morning after turning on the T-Mobile wi-fi calling it messed up my cellular radio. Keeps turning on/off. Connects then disconnects. Anyone else having this problem?
Looks like I may have to reset the phone. ?

Is it possible to set a custom dpi?
So I reset my phone and that didn't fix my problem. I messed around with all the WiFi & WiFi calling settings and cellular data settings with none of them fixing my problem. I then turned on the developers options and for some reason that fixed my cellular from turning on and off.
That fixed my issue if anyone has the same problem.

Okay thanks man
My son's got it this morning finally... Update took a while, probably close to 40 minutes start to finish, including the "Android is upgrading" portion after full boot. That must be an N thing, it rebuild cache on the fly or something. So far so good, no issues or problems yet.
We don't have T-Mobile here, use H2O (an AT&T MVNO) and so far no issues with radios or connection.
TBH, the more I play with this device the more I like it... the UI isn't too bad, one thing that gets me is the modified "Home" menu and you can't easily switch launchers without uninstalling one, but that is for another thread if I ever decide to pursue it.

So, after I installed the update, I had connection problems. Everything had trouble using data. I reset and it's fine. And I must say, I'm impressed. It feels smoother and faster than before. I'm happy they finally released it.

Here at xda, we post in English. Which is an actual rule here. If you cannot speak English, it still needs to be translated. I did it myself for the forum, but just an FYI for future posts. Can be found here if you need reference. https://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 further more, what some Joe schmo says on a website means nothing. Most of the idiots from honor on social media said Oreo wasn't coming h to the h8, but yet it's in beta. These "representatives" know annually nothing about what's being developed for the phone and you're just silly if you think they do. Hell, the main guy from honor usa couldn't even tell me how long it takes an OTA to go from them to the public. In short, this isn't anymore solidifying than the goofballs saying we weren't getting Oreo because some random rep said so. I hope we can agree to disagree on this instead of doing what most of XDA does and "flame" each other. Have a good day.

It is true, I should had add the source from the beginning that is my fault.
But I really did post in English and translated that part about the Honor 8 and it is not my fault that the source behind the link is in Hungarian. I might have mistakes since my English isn't perfect but I hope that does not count
So the story behind this Hungarian topic is that Honor got even more separated from Huawei in Hungary, now they have their own distribution channels, marketing, management etc. and in order to be more influential they collaborated with the largest tech media site called "mobilarena" (like here in XDA) and opened a Honor topic in order to answer questions. Obviously the first question was about Oreo for Honor 8. Few days later they wrote back that they have been directly negotiating with the manufacturer but he is not able to provide any specific information about the (Oreo) update (sorce). However he can tell that a smaller update gonna happen in June... and the rest is in the first post. So I am not judging anybody if they don't believe in the representative after all those false information. Have a nice day as well!

Like title says, in June there will be some kind of update not sure if Oreo or just monthly security patch, but go to the: Settings > Advanced settings > Backup and reset > Huawei backup, try option backup data it will give you options how to backup data: Computer, Internal storage or USB storage.
Under Internal storage there is red message about offline feature in June 2018.
imgurcom/a/GyiFBZ7 (insert . after imgur)
On Honor 8 (FRD-L09), B405, EMUI 5.0.1, OS 7.0
That update (virtual, three finger screen shot,...) or Android Oreo or maybe something else, how knows.
EDIT:
Maybe it is based just for the app from Huawei (Huawei backup).
Funny, child company Honor using Huawei app and cloud storage (cheap move)
Maybe in June 2018 they will give new option for Honor users.
Honor backup on Android 7.0
To be sincere i saw the changelog for the Honor 6A. I downloaded and installed the firmware on my grandpa's phone and it has those features. But i think H8 won't get anything because it already have double knock to screenshot , knock with two fingers to record and vol down pressed to recall HiVoice....all this is included in the Honor 6A update (about 407 mb) so no need to "update" H8 with functions already present. I know...3 finger swipe down isn't the same as double knock...but wtf cares?

I have a L-09 and I can assure you that with the latest B405 I do not have all that features described (some of it - yes but not all). Maybe just as the Chinese version has more features other regions might have some differences as well. Maybe L02 did not have all these features yet while L09 had already had some of it.

Haha sorry for my ignorance. Didn't properly read the changelog the first time around. You are right a couple of those features aren't available on other models yet.

If I install this through FF, because it's not downloadable through the System Update app, am I voiding my phone's warranty?

Regarding Volte

Hi,
I have a carrier unlocked H918 TMobile model.
My issue is that it does not get Volte eventhough it is enabled in settings.
I am open to rooting and installing a custom rom also if it resolves the issue. Please help me out.

Can somebody help me out regarding this.
A thread on a similar issue is already open in this forum
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/volte-option-gone-upgrade-to-android-8-t3884273
A fix for retaining the VoLTE that vanished after upgrading to Oreo via OTA for the Indian version users seem afar let alone for an imported/unlocked device.
Maybe a few more details might be handy for someone to help you out, like, if you've still got an active data connection, if there was a change in the phone that supposedly caused this, viz. an OS upgrade, etc like other users experienced.
No VoLTE on Jio equals no phone functionality, unless you've got their ad-packed Jio4G app for calls and messages.

4G Data connection works. I actually got it on eBay and at the time of purchase the listing was "Jio supported" but I could never check it then. I ported to Jio network recently(after Oreo update) and then only found out that no Volte is there. There is a toggle for Volte in settings but it is of no use.
I'm pasting the content that was copied from reddit on a similar issue
"You can download the QuickShortcutMaker app from the Play Store.
In the QSM app, search for 'Advanced Calling'. Press the down arrow next to 'Settings' in the list. Mine had 2 options. The first is 'AdvancedCalling' and other is 'AdvancedCallingSwitch'.
Choose one, and click 'Try it'."
The above italicised text is by the reddit OP.
This method worked for me. I didn't have the VoLTE toggle option though. You may want to give this a go.

The e-bay imports have almost always been a foxy business. I can't find it much different than OLX or Quikr. You can't really trust the biz unlike Flipkart/Amazon. Plus, US & other international variants may not fully agree with Indian standards.
Use the Jio SIM in slot 1.
Follow instructions from the previous post.

Thanks for replying.
I exchanged that set for a Redmi Note 5 Pro last week since I had no other option. Will never buy an LG device again.
I hope this information will help somebody out there having the same issues. All credit for you daftdrift.
Thanks again.

Their customer service was worst. They refused to even take a look at the device citing the reason that it's an unlocked model (H918) and not the official Indian model(H990DS).

LG did it the LG way and doomed a fantastic device. It was certain to fail from the start itself for being an LG. Then the screen retention came up making the process quicker. Sad to see how the first device to run Nougat out of box had to be stuck on Nougat for almost 2 years. They could only come up with Oreo for a flagship device at the time when even budget segment devices were starting to receive Pie.
Also heard a news that LG will bring Pie to V20 after all though only after Q3 2019 when others will be waiting for Android Q.
I strongly believe they will repeat that G4 Nougat fiasco with only a few regions getting an unoptimized build of Pie.
If any other manufacturer could build on the V Series model. The concept, design everything is brilliant but it just had that LG logo in the front.

Happy to help
I can't say this could be completely blamed on LG with issues of international variants of devices. Imported models could face compatibility issues. Even my issue might have arisen due to some setting i might have tweaked before the update. And, this is the one phone that i didn't try rooting.
What i felt wasn't initially welcoming was that they have always the one answer to any of your issue- visit the service centre. But then, i couldn't ask for more because they dont need to assist or educate me regardless of how technically savvy i am. Still, they suggested me to change the APN settings, which didn't work.
